Incorporation simply means that one form of government is trying to use the another feature of another form of government to create an hybrid form of city government containing features of the two or three form of city Government.

The main reason behind incorporation is because of the changes in the socio-economy. Also, the way politics is practice is changing. For instance, in Mayor-Council form of government, incorporation is now been done to limit the power of the Mayor.

1. What is a "symbol" according to Michener, DeLamater and Myers (in Social Psychology) as given in a class handout? Give two or

kupik [55]

According to Michener, DeLamater and Myers, a symbol is an arbitrary form that is used to refer to ideas, feelings, intentions or any other subject. It is arbitrary because there is nothing intrinsic in the symbol that inevitably links it to the subject it symbolizes.

There are several symbols that exist in our society that are understood by most people. When we wave, most people understand that this movement indicates a salutation (we are saying "hello"). Another example is raising a middle finger, which is considered obscene.

A symbol that I share with only one other person is a high-five in the air. I use this with my best friend, even if we are far away, when I want to show admiration or praise.
