  Beyond Piggly Wiggly - Inventing...

  Patented in 1917, Piggly Wiggly was by far the most influential self-service store of the early twentieth century. Before 1940 it was the only self-service chain with a national distribution network, but it was neither the first nor the only version. Beyond Piggly Wiggly reveals the importance of Piggly Wiggly in the invention of self-service and goes beyond the history of a single firm to explore the role of small business entrepreneurs who invented the first self-service stores in a grassroots social process. 
   
   
   
  During the 1920s and 1930s a minority of enterprising grocers experimented with a wide variety of (sometimes wacky) design ideas for automating shopping. They created specialized stores designed as enclosed retail systems that went far beyond open display techniques to construct unique physical and psychological advantages for automating salesmanship. Beyond Piggly Wiggly offers the first perspective on the national scale of experimentation and connects the southern Jim Crow origins of self-service to the national history of this mass retailing method. Empirical analysis of store arrangements demonstrates how small stores that have previously been overlooked or undervalued as quaint anomalies were integral to the creation of supermarkets. Ultimately, self-service was more than a business decision; it was a fundamentally new social practice.

  Compassion - The Heart of...

  Compassion is a fundamental human quality, one that transcends individual differences and connects us to one another in profound ways. It is often described as the ability to feel and show concern for the suffering of others, accompanied by a desire to alleviate that suffering. At its core, compassion involves recognizing the pain or distress someone else is experiencing and responding with kindness, empathy, and support. This emotional response is not just about feeling for someone else; it is about acting in ways that may help them through their difficult times. 
  The essence of compassion lies in empathy, which is the ability to deeply understand and share the feelings of another. When we empathize with someone, we can put ourselves in their shoes, imagining their emotional and physical states. Compassion takes this a step further, as it compels us to act in a way that can alleviate or ease their suffering. It is more than simply being moved by someone’s pain; it is the drive to do something about it, whether through words of encouragement, acts of service, or offering comfort. 
  It is important to distinguish compassion from sympathy. Sympathy involves feeling pity or sorrow for someone else's misfortune, but it lacks the proactive component that characterizes compassion. While sympathy may evoke a response such as feeling sad for someone, compassion urges us to take action in a positive way. Compassion connects us to others through action and intention, and it is through this action that we create genuine bonds and meaningful relationships.
