  • Modern Social Problems - Analyzing Contemporary Issues through a Sociological Lens - cover

    Modern Social Problems -...

    Social problems are complex issues that affect individuals, communities, and societies on a broad scale. They arise when a significant number of people recognize a condition as harmful and in need of change. Social problems can range from economic inequality and racial discrimination to climate change and healthcare disparities. Understanding these issues from a sociological perspective allows for a deeper analysis of their causes, consequences, and potential solutions. 
One of the key aspects of understanding social problems is recognizing that they are socially constructed. This means that what is considered a problem can vary across different societies, cultures, and historical periods. For example, while issues like poverty and crime are widely recognized as social problems, their definitions and solutions may differ depending on cultural norms, political ideologies, and economic conditions. Sociologists examine how these definitions change over time and how power dynamics influence which issues receive public attention and policy action. 
Another crucial factor in understanding social problems is identifying their root causes. Many social problems are not isolated incidents but rather symptoms of deeper structural issues within society. Economic inequality, for instance, is often linked to factors such as wage disparities, lack of access to education, and systemic discrimination. Similarly, crime rates may be influenced by socioeconomic conditions, community resources, and the effectiveness of law enforcement policies. By looking beyond individual behaviors and examining broader social structures, sociologists aim to uncover the fundamental reasons why these problems persist.

    In this fascinating half-memoir, half-parenting guide, Lisa Katayama shares her quest to raise her American kids using Japanese parenting principles which combine unconditional love with unwavering rules While Bringing Up Bébé introduced readers to the French way of raising obedient children who are seen but not heard, and Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother shared an in iron-will parental approach to creating high-achieving kids, Lisa Katayama’s Parenting the Japanese Way brings the principles of Japanese parenting to Americans, emphasizing unconditional love, community, and harmony with nature, to nurture children who are well-behaved, respectful, and creative.  Japan is well known for its culture of respect, technological innovations, delicious food, peaceful vibes, and deep connection to nature. The source code to all of it is the way the Japanese view childhood--as a time of rigorous training for societal participation, where they learn from the start that are just one part of a larger whole. Katayama takes readers along with her as she travels back and forth from her motherland of Tokyo to the East Bay of California to expose her two American, mixed-race kids to the Japanese way of parenting. Readers will be inspired to take some of her insights--the importance of routine and ritual or the benefits of simplified spaces or the power in making everyday things cute  -- and adopt them into their own parenting, no matter where they live.

Do you think that mind control is the most powerful key to having everything you want? Well, you are on the right track, so keep reading…Everyone wants success in life, but only a few admit that to themselves… Fewer admit that to others. Just try for a moment to think about the life you have always wanted, visualize it, and define an image that represents it.Now focus on the feeling that image generates ... Well, this is what is called daydreaming.But what if this dream could come true?Most of the books told you that to achieve success, you need to be a better person, the best version of yourself. True… but it’s not enough! What they don’t tell you is that you must develop the ability to make everyone do what do you want, when you want. You have just two methods. The first one is using a gun (but I don’t suggest this), and the second is MANIPULATION. I am telling you that manipulation is a fundamental key to achieving what you really want in life.Okay, but what does manipulation has to do with hypnosis?Hypnosis is the most powerful and subtle way to manipulate a mind. Hypnosis gives you access to the subconscious mind of a human being and you can literally overwrite his behavior. It’s not a joke. It was used for military scope and for inducing people to commit political murder, totally unaware and without a trace of it in their memory.Hey, I am not responsible of how you use this book. I just want you to tell you that to improve properly, this is a noble act and everyone can have benefits from applying these techniques.With this book, you can create wealth for you and people you love, or improve the relationship with your partner.

    The Autists - Women on the Spectrum

    An incisive and deeply candid account that explores autistic women in culture, myth, and society through the prism of the author's own diagnosis. 
 
 
 
Until the 1980s, autism was regarded as a condition found mostly in boys. Even in our time, autistic girls and women have largely remained undiagnosed. When portrayed in popular culture, women on the spectrum often appear simply as copies of their male counterparts—talented and socially awkward. 
 
 
 
Yet autistic women exist, and always have. They are varied in their interests and in their experiences. Autism may be relatively new as a term and a diagnosis, but not as a way of being and functioning in the world. It has always been part of the human condition. So who are these women, and what does it mean to see the world through their eyes? 
 
 
 
In The Autists, Clara Törnvall reclaims the language to describe autism and explores the autistic experience in arts and culture throughout history. From popular culture, films, and photography to literature, opera, and ballet, she dares to ask what it might mean to re-read these works through an autistic lens—what we might discover if we allow perspectives beyond the neurotypical to take center stage.
