social networking

Generally a website (ex: facebook, myspace) where people can add "friends", (generally people they may see once a day and never communicate with in person, or close friends they actually do associate with) and communicate with them through multiple ways such as leaving comments on posted pictures or blogs, or perhaps sending them a message they can read when they sign into the site at a later time.

Guy 2: Yeah right, social networking is the gayest thing to happen to Earth since reality tv.

Social anxiety

When people fear social situations with strangers, People without it, don't understand it. Were not freaks or weirdos we're normal. I know i shouldn't be afraid of nothing but i am.
IT SUCKS!

Social anxiety is when...You walk into a party, and you never make eye contact with anyone, you sit around by yourself and sweat non stop, then you sneak out the back door and go home.

Social Responsibility

Social responsibility is voluntary; it is about going above and beyond what is called for by the law(legal responsibility). It involves an idea that it is better to be proactive toward a problem rather than reactive to a problem. Social responsibility means eliminating corrupt, irresponsible or unethical behavior that might bring harm to the community, its people, or the environment before the behavior happens.

Social responsibility is exercised when people connect ideals in person or over the internet and take action against the corrupt powers that control our social settings.

Socialism

When the government does stuff

Socialism is when the government does stuff, and the more stuff the government does, the more socialism you got. And if the government does a REAL lotta stuff, it's communism

Social Darwinism

The concept of 'survival of the fittest' as applied to human societies.

In essence it is the belief that it is harmful to society to help those who are physically, intellectually, or economically disadvantaged. The belief that those members of society should be allowed to die off in order to strengthen the gene pool.

The Nazis believed that those races that they determined to be inferior should be systematically eradicated in order to prevent the dilution and weakening of the Aryan race, which they deemed superior. This may be the largest application of the concept of 'social Darwinism.'

social exile

being physically exiled from where you go to school or where you live because of the poor decisions you made. This includes social banishing from your former group of friends, being forced to move to another state in the middle of nowhere. Social exiles usually get 'day passes' to return to temporarily return from their place of exile, and expect for their former friends to simply socialize with them just because they're back. Social exiles get extremely disappointed when they realize that life continues on without their presence and no one has really missed them.

Jenny from Gossip Girl is a social exile. She now lives in social oblivion. She occasionally got a day pass to return to New York and left the Upper East Side every time with her tail between her legs.

Claire fucked up her relationship with everyone she knew and she pissed her guardians off. She failed at committing suicide. Because she fucked up at life, she was socially exiled to Nowhere Arkansas, population 25. She was given a 'day pass' to return to Coolsville and was dissmayed when she realized that no one had forgotten nor forgave what she had done and that no one cared for her anymore .
