The Thomas Theorem

The doubting Thomas Theorem states that in a neighborly world, the interpretation of the bunk influences the performions of the members of society. This would mean that when a number of people believe that some social pop out, phenomenon or evet is true, those same people would be driven to act on those issues or phenomenon which will then lead to the said issue to occur in reality (Macionis, 2007). A soulal example of the Thomas Theorem is how my family has a tradition on a curing dope. The soups recipe has been learned by the women in the family and is said to be utile in making people better if they befool the flu, colds, cough and other maladies.Thus, whenever a family member show symptoms of illnesses, my mother and sister will shoot 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 really nutritious since it has scads of vegetables in it . However, the soup is cooked for a long time which whitethorn have caused the break down of the nutrients that was in the vegetables and it contains a lot of salt. This would indicate that whatever nutritional value the soup has, it is not enough to heal the persons sickness.On the other hand, since most of my family members believe that the soup is indeed effective, we pull down the soup heartily. Consequently, after 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 computer virus weakens and we get better. Eating bowls of soup may just consent with the weakening of the virus, hence we attribute getting better with the soup even if they are not related at all.
