Examples of soft power in the following topics:
-
- It is often divided up into the concepts of hard power and soft power.
- Hard power relates primarily to coercive power, such as the use of force.
- Soft power commonly covers economics, diplomacy, and cultural influence.
- There is no clear dividing line between the two forms of power.
- However, diplomacy is usually regarded as being important in the creation of "soft" power, while military power is important for "hard" power.
-
- Behavioral tactics can be soft or hard.
- Soft tactics take advantage of the relationship between person and the target.
- However, they are not necessarily more powerful than soft tactics.
- For instance, interpersonally-oriented people tend to use soft tactics, while extroverts employ a greater variety of power tactics than do introverts.
- In the face of resistance, people are more likely to shift from soft to hard tactics to achieve their aims.
-
- They believe that technology creates a set of powerful forces acting to regulate our social activity and its meaning.
- Soft determinism, as the name suggests, is a more passive view of the way technology interacts with socio-political situations.
- Soft determinists still subscribe to the fact that technology is the guiding force in our evolution, but maintain that we have a chance to make decisions regarding the outcomes of a situation.
- Ogburn, in fact, proposed a slightly different variant of soft determinism, in which society must adjust to the consequences of major inventions, but often does so only after a period of cultural lag.
-
- Product differentiation is not necessary for the existence of an oligopoly, but if a firm can successfully engage in product differentiation it can more easily gain market power and dominate at least part of the industry.
- For example, the soft drink industry in the US is an oligopoly dominated by the Coca-Cola Company, the Dr.
- These companies are able to differentiate their products (e.g. by taste), and are therefore able to gain market power .
-
- Aluminum is a soft, silvery metal in the boron group of the periodic table.
-
- From 1900-1930, photography in America ranged from soft and artistic pictorialist images to gritty documentation of social conditions.
- Among the methods used were soft focus; special filters and lens coatings; burning, dodging and/or cropping in the darkroom to edit the content of the image; and alternative printing processes such as sepia toning, carbon printing, platinum printing or gum bichromate processing.
- Power house mechanic working on steam pump by Lewis Hine (1920)
- Lewis Hine's 1920 Power house mechanic working on steam pump, one of his work portraits, depicts working class American in an industrial setting.
-
- The skin is the soft outer covering of vertebrates, and guards the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments, and internal organs.
- Additionally, the body will turn to this fat in times of starvation to provide
power to its various processes, especially brain function.
-
- Plutonium was a power source for Voyager spacecrafts launched in 1977 and is also used in artificial heart pacemakers.
- All of them are soft, have a silvery color (but tarnish in air), and have relatively high density and plasticity.
- The hardness of thorium is similar to that of soft steel, so heated pure thorium can be rolled in sheets and pulled into wire.
-
- The energy in a wave is proportional to its amplitude squared and the intensity of a wave is defined as power per unit area.
- Loud sounds have higher pressure amplitudes and come from larger-amplitude source vibrations than soft sounds.
- Therefore, power is more appropriate than energy to describe the "intensity" of a wave.
- All these pertinent factors are included in the definition of intensity I as power (P) per unit area:
- where P is the power carried by the wave through area A.
-
- When a person is inside the scanner's powerful magnetic field, the hydrogen protons in their body align with the direction of the field.
- MRI shows a marked contrast between the different soft tissues of the body, making it especially useful in imaging the brain, the muscles, the heart, and cancerous tissue—as compared with other medical imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) or X-rays.
