The Thomas Theorem

The Thomas Theorem states that in a affectionate world, the interpretation of the situation influences the actions of the roles of society. This would mean that when a number of people swear that some social issue, phenomenon or event is true, those same people would be driven to act on those issues or phenomenon which will then tone down to the verbalise issue to occur in reality (Macionis, 2007). A face-to-face example of the Thomas Theorem is how my family has a tradition on a hardening dope up. The soups recipe has been learned by the women in the family and is said to be effective in making people breach if they bring forth the flu, colds, cough and other maladies.Thus, whenever a family member show symptoms of illnesses, my mother and babe will make the soup and then oblige the sick family member to eat that soup as much as they can. The healing component of the soup is attributed to its nutritional value and in some way it is in reality nutritious since it has ton s of vegetables in it. However, the soup is cooked for a long cadence which may have caused the break down of the nutrients that was in the vegetables and it contains a spread of salt. This would indicate that whatever nutritional value the soup has, it is not full to heal the persons sickness.On the other hand, since most of my family members believe that the soup is indeed effective, we consume the soup heartily. Consequently, by and by eating bowls of the soup, we do get better. The flu, colds and coughs may be caused by viral infections that are self-limiting, thus, after some time, the virus weakens and we get better. Eating bowls of soup may just coincide with the weakening of the virus, hence we attribute getting better with the soup even if they are not related at all.
