Law of Sociology

Matthew Effect :

The stronger the strong, weaker the weak phenomenon, widely used in social psychology, education, finance and scientific fields. It is a term commonly used by sociologists and economists to reflect social phenomena that are polarized, richer and poorer. The name comes from the Bible, "New York Mattaforine," a parable: "Every one, but also to give him more than to call him superfluous, no, even his all have to take over." "Matthew Effect" is contrary to "the way of Balance", and similar to "28 rule", it is a very important law of human society. Lao Tzu, the ancient Chinese philosopher, had put forward a similar thought: "The way of Heaven, the loss of the lack of compensation." The way of the people is not, the loss is not enough to serve. ”

Watch Law:

　　Having more than two watches does not help people to judge time more accurately, but will create chaos, so that the watch of the people lose their judgment on time. Another implication is that everyone cannot pick two different codes of conduct or values at the same time, otherwise the person's behavior will be confused.

Peter Principle:

Peter's principle is a conclusion that American scholar Lawrence Peter (Dr. Laurence Peter) has made after studying the phenomenon of the promotion of people in the Organization. In various organizations, employees tend to be promoted to their incompetent position because they are accustomed to promoting promotion to those who are competent at a certain level. Peter's principle is sometimes referred to as the "climbing" theory. This phenomenon is ubiquitous in real life: A competent professor is not competent after being promoted to the university president, and a good athlete is promoted to be a sports officer, leading to inaction. For an organization, once a considerable part of the staff is pushed to their incompetent level, it will cause the organization's overstaffing, inefficient, leading to mediocrity, development stagnation. The promotion of an employee to a position that can not be very good to play, not only is not the reward for me, but make it can not play a good talent, but also to bring losses to the organization.

0 and Game principle:

When you see two players, you can say they are playing "0 and the game". Because in most cases, there will always be a win, a loss, if we calculate the win to 1 points, and the loss of 1 points, then the two people scored the sum is: 1+ (-1) = 0. This is the basic content of "0 and game": The player loses and wins, one side wins is the other loses, the game total is always zero. 0 and the game principle is widely concerned about, mainly because people found in all aspects of society can be found with the "0 and game" similar situation, the glory of the victor often hides the bitterness and bitterness of the loser.　　From the individual to the country, from the political to the economic, it seems that the world is a huge "0 and Game" field. This theory holds that the world is a closed system, the wealth, resources, opportunities are limited, individual, individual regions and individual countries, the increase of wealth must mean the plunder of others, other regions and countries, this is an "evil evolutionary" style of the jungle of the world. But in the 20th century, after two world wars, rapid economic growth, scientific and technological progress, globalization and increasing environmental pollution, the concept of "0 and game" is gradually being replaced by the concept of "double win". People began to realize that "self-interest" does not have to be based on "harm". Through effective cooperation, the happy ending is likely to happen. But from the "0 and the game" to "win", requires all parties to have the spirit of sincere cooperation and courage, do not play smart in cooperation, do not always want to occupy the petty of others, to abide by the rules of the game, otherwise, "double win" situation is impossible to appear, the ultimate disadvantage or self.

Washington Cooperation Rules:

Washington Co-operation Law says: A person perfunctory, two people shifting, three people will never do the day. A little bit like the story of our "three monks". Man-to-man cooperation is not a simple addition of manpower, but a much more complex and subtle one. In the human-to-human cooperation, assuming that each person's ability is 1, then 10 person's cooperation result is sometimes much bigger than 10, sometimes even smaller than 1. Because people are not stationary animals, but more like the energy of different directions, the nature of the promotion of a more effective, mutual conflict is nothing. In our traditional management theory, the study of cooperation is not much, the most intuitive reflection is that most of the management system and industry are committed to reducing the unnecessary consumption of human resources, rather than using the organization to improve human effectiveness. In other words, it may be said that the main purpose of management is not to make everyone the best, but to avoid excessive friction. 21st century will be an era of cooperation, fortunately, more and more people have recognized the importance of sincere cooperation, is working hard to learn cooperation. Bonnie's Law of human labor: A man can dig a hole in a minute, and 60 people can't dig a hole for a second. Cooperation is a problem, and how to cooperate is also a problem.

Law of Liquor and Wastewater:

The bucket law is about how much water a bucket can fit, depending on the shortest piece of wood. This means that any organization may face a common problem, that is, the constituent parts of an organization often determine the level of the Organization as a whole. The constituent parts of the organization tend to be inferior in quality, while inferior ones often determine the level of the whole organization. The "Bucket law" differs from the "Law of alcohol and Wastewater", which discusses the destructive forces in the organization, while the "shortest planks" are a useful part of the organization, but are less than the rest, and you can't throw them away as rotten apples. Strength is relative and cannot be eliminated. The question is how much you tolerate this weakness. If it becomes a bottleneck that hinders work, it has to act.

Mushroom Management:

Mushroom management is a management method that many organizations treat the novice, who is placed in a shady corner (a neglected department, or a handyman's job), pouring a excrement (unwarranted criticism, accusation, scurries) and letting it die (without the necessary guidance and support). Believe that a lot of people have such a "mushroom" experience, but this is not necessarily a bad thing, especially when everything is just beginning, when the last few days "mushroom", can eliminate many of our unrealistic fantasies, let us closer to reality, see the problem is more practical, and for an organization, In general, the new people are treated equally, from starting salary to work will not have a big difference. No matter how good you are, in the beginning you can only start from the simplest things, "mushroom" experience for the growing young people, like a cocoon, is a step that must be experienced before feathering. Therefore, how to pass the passage of life efficiently, from which we can learn as much experience as possible, mature, and establish a good and trustworthy personal image, is every young people just into the society must face the subject.

The law of the Ames Razor:

If you think that you can succeed only if you are too busy to work, then you are wrong. Things are always moving in the direction of complexity, and complexity can be wasteful, and efficiency comes from simplicity. Most of the things you do may be meaningless, and the really effective activities are only a small part of them, and they are often hidden in the intricacies of things. Finding the key parts and removing unwanted activities is not as complicated as success.

28 Law:

In any set of things, the most important is only a small part, about 20%, the remaining 80%, although the majority, is secondary.

On inductive method:

　　It is very interesting to choose from the philosophical question of Bertrand Russell.
