Get the social lamprey mug.The word decadence, which at first meant simply "decline" in an abstract sense, is now most often used to refer to a perceived decay in standards, morals, dignity, religious faith, or skill at governing among the members of the elite of a very large social structure, such as an empire or nation state.

Get the social decadence mug.When you post a status on Facebook, asking people something or just a status you know will generate a lot of comments and the first person to comment on it is the person nobody likes and you aren't sure why you're friends with them, but they write some dumb comment and then nobody else wants to comment because it's all fucked up by the person, trapping you in a social condom.

Get the Truth Social mug.Facebook user who wastes inordinate amount of time on Flash-based games. Such games typically have cute anime characters with huge eyes and tiny mouths/bodies.
Social gamers enjoy hours of useless tasks such as clicking endlessly to gain game points or "money" (such as coins, gold, jewels, etc.). They even spend real money on non-real (digital) game objects such as pink tractors or green polka-dotted pets.
Social gamers seem also to delight in annoying the heck out of non-gamer Facebook users who get constantly bombarded with requests to help out with their farm, island, pet, etc. (Or maybe they're just totally unaware how much the constant requests annoy other users.)

Get the Social Masturbation mug.The social sciences are the fields of academic scholarship which explore aspects of human society. Social sciences may draw upon empirical methods and attempt to emulate the standards of conventional scientific practice. By contrast, other social scientists employ critical analysis or hermeneutic methods to study objects of enquiry they regard as inconsistent with the scientific approach.
Social science is commonly used as an umbrella term to refer to a plurality of fields outside of the physical sciences and the arts. These include: anthropology, archaeology, communication studies, cultural studies, demography, economics, history, human geography, international development, international relations, linguistics, media studies, philology, political science, social psychology, and social work.

Weber's most famous work reg., social science is his essay in economic sociology, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, which also began his work in the sociology of religion. In this text, Weber argued that religion was one of the non-exclusive reasons for the different ways the cultures of the Occident and the Orient have developed, and stressed that particular characteristics of ascetic Protestantism influenced the development of capitalism, bureaucracy and the rational-legal state in the West. The essay examines the effects Protestantism had upon the beginnings of capitalism, arguing that capitalism is not purely materialist in Karl Marx's sense, but rather originates in religious ideals and ideas which cannot be solely explained by ownership relations, technology and advances in learning alone.
