Social process

Charles Horton Cooley

Summary

Charles Horton Cooley's "Social Process" is a seminal work that delves into the intricate interdependencies of social interactions and the collective dynamics that shape human behavior. With a focus on the fluidity of social relations, Cooley employs a reflective and analytical literary style, bringing forth a nuanced exploration of concepts such as social development, community, and the self in relation to society. His work is firmly situated within the realm of early 20th-century sociology, marking a critical shift toward understanding social phenomena as processes rather than static configurations. Cooley, a prominent figure in the Chicago School of Sociology, drew upon his experiences and academic background to articulate the complexities of social life. His theoretical insights were influenced by his desire to integrate individual psychology with social structures, emphasizing the importance of subjective experiences in comprehending societal frameworks. This perspective was not merely academic; it was deeply anchored in his commitment to fostering democratic values and understanding the implications of social change during a transformative era in American society. Readers interested in sociology, social psychology, or the interplay between individual and society will find "Social Process" a valuable text. Cooley's ability to synthesize observations from everyday life with profound theoretical implications makes this book a must-read for anyone seeking to grasp the forces that underlie social phenomena, offering timeless insights that resonate in contemporary discussions of social dynamics.

The Unbiased Self - The...

Erin Devers

A Christian Perspective on Overcoming Cognitive Bias 
 
 
 
So much human behavior can be explained by two motives: we want to be right, and we want to feel good about ourselves. But the tension between these two motives makes us especially vulnerable to bias—and bias distorts our view of the world and of ourselves and can keep us from doing even what we know is right. 
 
 
 
In The Unbiased Self, social psychologist Erin Devers lays out what psychology has discovered about bias and selfishness. To truly overcome cognitive bias, we need a vision of what an unbiased self could look like, stemming from a solid sense of identity—an identity available in Christian faith. Devers explains how a Christian concept of the self can provide the combination of humility with self-confidence that enables unbiased thinking. Using current research and illuminating stories, this book describes how "fast" and "slow" thinking work together in everyday life; 
diagnoses when we're most vulnerable to distorted thinking; 
considers how regarding every person as a child of God counteracts implicit bias; reveals psychological insights into spiritual formation; and recommends practices for slowing our thinking to seek God's wisdom about our ourselves and others.
