Psychology and Social Practice - Understanding Human Behavior in Society: Exploring the Intersection of Psychology and Social Practices

John Dewey

Sinopse

In "Psychology and Social Practice," John Dewey examines the intricate connections between psychological theory and societal function, emphasizing the importance of pragmatism in understanding human behavior. This work is characterized by Dewey's signature clarity and accessible prose, merging rigorous intellectual inquiry with practical applications. He critiques traditional psychological approaches that detach individual experience from the social context, advocating for a progressive view that acknowledges the interplay between personal and communal life. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, this text reflects Dewey'Äôs commitment to applying psychological insights to enhance social reform and education. John Dewey, a pioneering American philosopher and educator, was deeply influenced by the shifting cultural landscape of his time, particularly the rise of industrialization and its social implications. His extensive work in education, ethics, and philosophy informed his understanding of how psychological principles can be utilized to foster social change. Dewey's belief in the power of experiential learning and democratic engagement is woven throughout his writings, making this book a critical extension of his overarching theories. I highly recommend "Psychology and Social Practice" not only for its innovative approach to psychology but also for its relevance in contemporary discussions on the role of mental health in society. Dewey's insights will resonate with educators, psychologists, and anyone interested in the intersection of individual agency and social responsibility.

The Flag and the Cross - White...

Philip S. Gorski, Samuel L....

Most Americans were shocked by the violence they witnessed at the nation's Capital on January 6th, 2021. And many were bewildered by the images displayed by the insurrectionists: a wooden cross and wooden gallows; "Jesus saves" and "Don't Tread on Me;" Christian flags and Confederate Flags; even a prayer in Jesus's name after storming the Senate chamber. Where some saw a confusing jumble, Philip S. Gorski and Samuel L. Perry saw a familiar ideology: white Christian nationalism. 
 
 
 
Gorski and Perry explain what white Christian nationalism is; when it first emerged and how it has changed; where it's headed and why it threatens democracy. Tracing the development of this ideology over the course of three centuries—and especially its influence over the last three decades—they show how, throughout American history, white Christian nationalism has animated the oppression, exclusion, and even extermination of minority groups while securing privilege for white Protestants. It enables white Christian Americans to demand "sacrifice" from others in the name of religion and nation, while defending their "rights" in the names of "liberty" and "property." 
 
The future of American democracy will depend on whether a broad spectrum of Americans can unite in a popular front to combat the threat to liberal democracy posed by white Christian nationalism.

The Shocking Truth about Home...

Zoey Fraisers

Home security has become a top priority for homeowners around the world, and for good reason. The increasing rates of burglaries, home invasions, and even cybercrimes targeting home security systems have made it clear that protecting our homes is no longer just about locks and keys. In today’s digital age, safeguarding our homes requires a multifaceted approach—one that integrates traditional security methods with the latest technology. As home security continues to evolve, the need for better, smarter, and more efficient solutions has never been greater.
This book, *The Shocking Truth about Home Security*, aims to shed light on the reality of securing a home in the modern world. It explores the essential components of a robust home security system and the factors that every homeowner must consider to ensure their property and loved ones remain safe. From understanding the basics of security to evaluating vulnerabilities and choosing the right system, this book will guide you through every step of fortifying your home.
While home security is crucial for everyone, it’s often misunderstood. Many people assume that simply installing a few cameras or an alarm system will make their home impenetrable. However, securing your home is about more than just buying the latest gadget. It's about creating a well-thought-out strategy that considers your home’s layout, your lifestyle, and the specific risks your area may face. In fact, many security threats are preventable when you take the time to identify weak points and act proactively.

Inca Empire - The Builders of...

Rolf Hedger

The story of the Inca Empire begins with a mix of myth and history, deeply rooted in the Andean highlands of South America. According to Inca legend, the empire’s origins trace back to the Sun God, Inti, who sent his son, Manco Cápac, to establish a kingdom on Earth. Manco Cápac and his sister-wife Mama Ocllo emerged from the waters of Lake Titicaca, tasked with finding the place where the sun would set forever. Guided by this divine mission, they journeyed through the Andes, eventually founding the city of Cusco, which would become the heart of the Inca Empire. This mythic narrative blended with historical elements, shaping the early identity of the Incas as a people divinely chosen and destined for greatness.
The rise of the Inca Empire began in earnest during the 12th century, but it wasn’t until the 15th century that the Inca began their ambitious expansion under the leadership of Pachacuti. Before this period, the Inca were a small ethnic group living in the valley of Cusco, a modest settlement by the standards of the Andean world. The powerful Wari and Tiwanaku civilizations had already left their marks on the region, and other neighboring cultures, such as the Chanka and the Nazca, vied for dominance in the highlands. However, it was the strategic leadership and military genius of the early Inca rulers that laid the foundation for what would become the largest empire in pre-Columbian America.
Manco Cápac, the first Sapa Inca (the title for the emperor), established the social and political framework that would support future conquests. He was followed by a line of rulers who solidified Cusco’s position as the seat of power, but it wasn’t until Pachacuti’s reign that the Inca’s ambitions expanded beyond their small kingdom. Under Pachacuti’s rule, the Inca adopted a highly organized and disciplined military structure, which allowed them to conquer surrounding territories and absorb them into their growing empire.

What a Bloody Awful Country -...

Kevin Meagher

"Highly readable" – Irish News
"A gripping appraisal of Northern Ireland's turbulent first century. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how we have got to where we are today." – Suzanne Breen, Belfast Telegraph
"A timely and lucid analysis of the Troubles that asks hard questions of successive British governments. The good news for the current government is that it also offers some answers." – Rory Carroll, The Guardian
***
"For God's sake, bring me a large Scotch. What a bloody awful country!" Home Secretary Reginald Maudling, returning from his first visit to Northern Ireland in 1970
As a long and bloody guerrilla war staggered to a close on the island of Ireland, Britain beat a retreat from all but a small portion of the country – and thus, in 1921, Northern Ireland was born.
That partition, says Kevin Meagher, has been an unmitigated disaster for Nationalists and Unionists alike. Following the fraught history of British rule in Ireland, a better future was there for the taking but was lost amid political paralysis, while the resulting fifty years of devolution succeeded only in creating a brooding sectarian stalemate that exploded into the Troubles.
In a stark but reasoned critique, Meagher traces the landmark events in Northern Ireland's century of existence, exploring the missed signals, the turning points, the principled decisions that should have been taken, as well as the raw realpolitik of how Northern Ireland has been governed over the past 100 years.
Thoughtful and sometimes provocative, What a Bloody Awful Country reflects on how both Loyalists and Republicans might have played their cards differently and, ultimately, how the actions of successive British governments have amounted to a masterclass in failed statecraft.
