Sinopse

Social Influence Factors explores the powerful forces that shape our social behaviors and decision-making, delving into why we sometimes act against our beliefs. It examines core concepts like conformity (aligning with group behaviors), obedience (compliance with authority), and persuasion (changing beliefs through communication), illustrating how these concepts influence everything from social movements to marketing. Studies such as the Milgram experiment and the Asch conformity experiments highlight our susceptibility to external pressures, revealing that our actions are often a blend of personal beliefs and societal pressures. This book uniquely integrates cognitive and social psychological approaches, presenting a comprehensive model that considers both individual differences and situational factors. It progresses from foundational principles to specific influences like group size and cultural norms, further investigating cognitive biases and emotional responses. By drawing from experimental psychology, sociological research, and behavioral economics, the book provides a well-rounded perspective, making it valuable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the hidden forces that shape our lives.

A Rare Recording of Ian Fleming...

Ian Fleming, Raymond Chandler

Ian Lancaster Fleming (May 28, 1908 to August 12, 1964) was an English writer, best known for his James Bond series of spy novels, and his only children's novel, Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang. Fleming came from a wealthy family connected to the merchant bank Robert Fleming & Co., and his father was the Member of Parliament (MP) from 1910 until his death on the Western Front in 1917. Fleming himself was heavily involved in British intelligence during World War II. Raymond Thornton Chandler (July 23, 1888 to March 26, 1959) was an American novelist and screenwriter. His first novel, The Big Sleep, was published in 1939. All but one of his eight novels have been made into motion pictures. Chandler had an immense stylistic influence on American popular literature, including pioneering the hardboiled school of detective fiction. The protagonist of his novels, Philip Marlowe, is considered by some to be synonymous with "private detective." The following recording is from the late 1950s.

Global Authoritarianism -...

International Research Group on...

We are witnessing a worldwide resurgence of reactionary ideologies and movements, combined with an escalating assault on democratic institutions and structures. Nevertheless, most studies of these phenomena remain anchored in a methodological nationalism, while comparative research is almost entirely limited to the Global North. Yet, authoritarian transformations in the South — and the struggles against them — have not only been just as dramatic as those in the North but also preceded them, and consequently have been studied by Southern scholars for many years. 

This volume brings together the work of more than 15 scholar-activists from across the Global South, combining in-depth studies of regional processes of authoritarian transformation with a global perspective on authoritarian capitalism. 

With a foreword by Verónica Gago.

Voices from Home - Wisdom from...

Ephraim Osaghae

Every human being is part of a bigger family, which is figuratively represented by the family tree. We have roots that extend beyond places and cultures of our current residences. This is particularly true for people in diaspora. Our roots still weigh a lot into our everyday living irrespective of geographical distance and time. Thus, would it not be beneficial to know and explore the advantages in our roots and avoid losing out, and losing deep? This is the main message of this book, "Voices from Home: Wisdom from our Diasporic Roots."
•This book will provide inspiration, some incentives, and a compass for teachable minds to explore and tap into the wealth of their roots.
•It provides insights on the key dynamics and interplay of cultures, underpinning motivations, and extended family structures of typical first-generation migrants.

Something for Nothing - The...

Brian Tracy

America's greatness comes from people working hard to fulfill their dreams. But today that greatness is being undermined by people using the government to steal other people's dreams (and money). Rather than participate and innovate in the marketplace, generating goods and services that benefit society, people are increasingly vying for political advantage to live at the expense of others. Something for Nothing reveals the social and personal threats inherent in this emerging "grabbing match" culture, juxtaposing free-market virtues against government vices, explaining how the something-for-nothing mentality corrupts the political system, undermines corporate success, and stifles the individual's ability to prosper and contribute long-term to society. More than exposing the dangers, however, Tracy helps readers set a personal and culture-wide agenda for change.
