Beschreibung

Impression Management Tactics explores how individuals strategically manage their public image and influence social perceptions. This book argues that impression management is more than superficial manipulation; it's a fundamental process shaping social reality and influencing interactions.

The book dives into specific tactics like self-promotion and intimidation, examining the psychological drivers behind these behaviors, such as the desire for social approval and the avoidance of embarrassment. Understanding these tactics offers insights into navigating social complexities, interpreting behaviors, and improving interpersonal relationships. The book's approach provides a comprehensive understanding of a common social phenomenon.

It begins by laying the theoretical groundwork, drawing from communication theory and social psychology, before examining specific tactics with real-world examples. Situational and cultural factors influencing these strategies, such as power dynamics and social norms, are also investigated. By integrating communication theory and behavioral research, the book highlights the dynamic interplay between individual strategies and underlying motivations, offering a holistic perspective.

The book progresses logically, starting with theoretical foundations and moving to practical applications in areas like the workplace and social media. Supported by experimental studies and qualitative research, Impression Management Tactics provides a balanced perspective on the ethical considerations and conscious awareness involved in impression management.

This exploration is valuable for students, researchers, and professionals interested in communication, psychology, and sociology.

The Global in the Local - A...

Xin Zhang

Fear swept Zhenjiang as British soldiers gathered outside the city walls in the summer of 1842. Already suspicious of foreigners, locals had also heard of the suffering the British inflicted two months earlier, in Zhapu. A wave of suicides and mercy killings ensued: rather than leave their families to the invaders, hundreds of women killed themselves and their children or died at the hands of male family members. British observers decried an "Asian culture" of ritual suicide. In reality, the event was sui generis—a tragic result of colliding local and global forces in nineteenth-century China. 
 
 
 
Xin Zhang's groundbreaking history examines the intense negotiations between local societies and global changes that created modern China. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, world-historic political, economic, and technological developments transformed the textures of everyday life in places like Zhenjiang, a midsize river town in China's prosperous Lower Yangzi region. Drawing on rare primary sources, including handwritten diaries and other personal writings, Zhang offers a ground-level view of globalization in the city. 
 
 
 
Far from passive recipients, the Chinese leveraged, resisted, and made change for themselves. The Global in the Local argues that globalization is inevitably refracted through local particularities.

First Crusade The: The History...

Charles River Editors

Of the many campaigns during the Middle Ages, few are as remarkable or seemingly impossible to win at the start as the First Crusade (1095-99), and the true crowning achievement of that crusade, which resulted in two centuries of Western European Christian states in the Middle East and the permanent firing of the European imagination, was the conquest of Jerusalem on July 15, 1099 after three weeks of siege. That victorious siege came four years after the call for a crusade first went out, and had the Crusaders not taken Jerusalem, the First Crusade would not likely have been followed by any more and the campaign might have been no more than an historical footnote of what could have been.  
	As it turned out, the siege of Jerusalem and the crusade as a whole says much about the first major clash of Western and Eastern military tactics after the fall of the Roman Empire, as well as the power of faith and even fanaticism to motivate people beyond ordinary human endurance. For better and worse, the siege and fall of Jerusalem to the Crusaders has become a fundamental piece in the current view of the West in that part of the world. Indeed, to this day, the First Crusade remains a polarizing event, even among modern historians. For some, the Crusaders were heroes and saints, and for others they were devils who disrupted the peaceful local sects of Muslims, Jews, and Christians, establishing an alien colony that heralded modern European imperialism. In fact, the First Crusade is a good example of why it is unwise to choose sides in history, because neither side was correct and the situation was highly complex. 
Though it went largely unremarked in the Islamic world at the time, the First Crusade has since become a contentious symbol of European imperialism in the Middle East. Debate over whether the Crusades can truly be perceived as an early example of European colonialism continues in medieval historiography, though the evidence for this is thin.

The Civic Bargain - How...

Josiah Ober, Brook Manville

A powerful case for democracy and how it can adapt and survive—if we want it to 
 
 
 
Is democracy in trouble, perhaps even dying? Pundits say so, and polls show that most Americans believe that their country's system of governance is being "tested" or is "under attack." But is the future of democracy necessarily so dire? In The Civic Bargain, Brook Manville and Josiah Ober push back against the prevailing pessimism about the fate of democracy around the world. Instead of an epitaph for democracy, they offer a guide for democratic renewal, calling on citizens to recommit to a "civic bargain" with one another to guarantee civic rights of freedom, equality, and dignity. That bargain also requires them to fulfill the duties of democratic citizenship: governing themselves with no "boss" except one another, embracing compromise, treating each other as civic friends, and investing in civic education for each rising generation. 
 
 
 
Manville and Ober trace the long progression toward self-government through four key moments in democracy's history: Classical Athens, Republican Rome, Great Britain's constitutional monarchy, and America's founding. Comparing what worked and what failed in each case, they draw out lessons for how modern democracies can survive and thrive.
