Beschreibung

Civic Engagement Drivers explores the multifaceted issue of why citizens participate in governance, or why they don't. It examines both the individual motivations and the structural factors that either encourage or impede civic action, essential for a healthy democracy. A key insight is that understanding these dual influences—personal values alongside societal structures like electoral systems and government policies—is vital for boosting public participation. For example, having political knowledge is important, but so is having an accessible way to use that knowledge through participation in community organizing. The book uniquely integrates individual-level motivations, such as trust in government and social capital, with broader structural considerations like campaign finance regulations and media landscapes. Providing a comprehensive model, the book progresses from defining core concepts to examining individual factors and then structural influences. It draws upon decades of research, including large-scale surveys and case studies. This comprehensive approach offers practical strategies for policymakers, community organizers, and educators, providing concrete recommendations for enhancing civic engagement and addressing the ongoing debates about declining participation.

The female skateboarding story...

Victor Augustus Graciotto

Ao longo de quase duas décadas, entre 1990 a 2007, tínhamos as duas principais marcas nacionais, que realizavam os principais campeonatos e circuitos nacionais, investiam em pistas e patrocinavam skatistas, que despontam nos campeonatos mundiais subindo ao pódio e levando títulos. Tudo isso inserido em uma ebulição musical e de moda onde o principal público era de adolescentes e jovens, que viam no skate uma forma de expressão. Desde o carrinho até as roupas streetwear, produziam e reproduziam um comportamento e uma identidade própria. Surgiu um estilo de vida, o skate como um lifestyle, e Curitiba reconhecida como a capital do skate brasileiro. A cultura do skate é resiliente, diversa e se reinventa. Desde 1972, quando tudo era desconhecido e novo, os pioneiros do skate paranaense criaram as referências. A nossa essência começou ali. E o skate passou de mão em mão, evoluiu de geração para geração. A criatividade e a liberdade movem nossa história do skate. É o que buscamos expressar neste livro.

The Transcendentalist

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. "The Transcendentalist" is an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson that was first published in 1841. In this work, Emerson defines and reflects on the Transcendentalist movement, a philosophical and literary movement that was influential in the United States in the 19th century. Transcendentalism emphasized the importance of individualism, intuition, and a direct connection to the divine, and rejected the materialism and conformity of contemporary society. In "The Transcendentalist," Emerson argues that Transcendentalists are people who seek to transcend the limitations of the physical world and find truth and meaning through spiritual and philosophical pursuits. He also notes that Transcendentalists embrace the power of the individual and reject the notion that authority should come from institutions or tradition. "The Transcendentalist" is considered a seminal work in American literature and is widely regarded as one of Emerson's most important works. The essay continues to be widely read and studied today as a classic expression of Transcendentalist thought and philosophy.
