A Mild Case of Dead - The unseen...

Dave Young

A Mild Case of Dead examines the folly of pursuing greater satisfaction in life through the goals of health, fitness, and weight loss. It occurs to us as logical to seek these qualities as a way to be more satisfied with our lives, but we seek them only because of a dissatisfaction with our lives. The human design is to be more satisfied with life first. When you’re guided by humanity instead of logic your physical state becomes a byproduct of that satisfaction, not the way to it.  
Written and narrated by the author, the book explains why he chose to abandon this work and close his gym forever. He realized that the issues that cause people to pursue health and fitness strategies are never resolved with the minutiae of programs or routines or diets because they are internal struggles first. 
The natural way to be satisfied with your body is to be satisfied with your life. Any other process is only a theory about life, not the real thing.

The Sociology of Education - How...

Fred Grandsen

Education is more than just a means of acquiring knowledge; it is a fundamental institution that shapes societies, influences social structures, and reinforces cultural norms. From a sociological perspective, education is not only about individual development but also about the reproduction of societal values, the maintenance of social order, and the facilitation of social mobility. By analyzing education through a sociological lens, we can better understand its role in shaping human interactions, economic opportunities, and power dynamics within a society.
Sociologists view education as both a social institution and a socializing agent. It transmits knowledge, skills, and values that prepare individuals to participate in society. However, education is not a neutral entity. The way it is structured, the content it delivers, and the access it provides can reinforce existing inequalities or serve as a tool for social change. Theories within the sociology of education, such as functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism, offer different perspectives on how education operates in society.
Functionalists argue that education serves a critical role in maintaining social cohesion. It provides individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to contribute to the economy while also instilling shared values that create a sense of unity. From this perspective, schools function as meritocratic institutions, rewarding effort and ability regardless of social background. However, critics argue that this perspective overlooks the ways in which education can reproduce social inequalities.
