Beschreibung

"Social Norm Changes" explores the fascinating phenomenon of how societal expectations transform dramatically within a single generation, offering a comprehensive examination of the mechanisms driving these shifts. Through a blend of historical case studies and contemporary research, the book reveals how individual actions collectively reshape society's fabric, from minor behavioral adjustments to major cultural transformations.

 
The book's three-section structure takes readers on a journey through the foundations of norm formation, beginning with how childhood experiences and peer groups shape our understanding of "normal" behavior. It then examines catalysts of change, including technological advances and social movements, before concluding with practical insights for navigating evolving social standards.

 
What makes this work particularly valuable is its innovative integration of traditional social science research with modern computational modeling, providing unprecedented insights into how behaviors and ideas spread through populations in the digital age. Drawing from diverse fields including sociology, psychology, and behavioral economics, the book presents compelling evidence through longitudinal studies and neurological research.

 
It offers practical applications for various stakeholders, from organizational leaders managing workplace expectations to policymakers implementing social changes. The accessible writing style makes complex concepts understandable while maintaining scholarly rigor, making it equally valuable for social science practitioners and educated general readers interested in understanding the dynamics of social transformation.

The Neoliberal Revolution - How...

Arlo Holders

Neoliberalism is a term widely used to describe a set of economic policies and ideas that emphasize the importance of free markets, deregulation, privatization, and limited government intervention. Emerging in the mid-20th century, neoliberalism represented a distinct shift away from the welfare state and Keynesian economics, which had dominated Western economies in the post-World War II era. At its core, neoliberalism advocates for the belief that markets, if left to operate freely, will create wealth, drive economic growth, and improve human well-being. This chapter introduces the key tenets of neoliberal thought and traces its rise to prominence.
The intellectual origins of neoliberalism can be traced back to economists and thinkers such as Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, and Ludwig von Mises, who were critical of state intervention in the economy. They argued that government efforts to regulate markets, redistribute wealth, and promote social welfare were inefficient and counterproductive. Instead, they believed that economic freedom, unencumbered by regulation or state control, would lead to more prosperous societies. These ideas gained traction in the 1970s when the world was facing economic stagnation, inflation, and high unemployment, a period often referred to as the “stagflation” crisis.
As a response to these challenges, neoliberalism became the intellectual and policy framework that justified sweeping changes in global economic practices. It was championed by leaders such as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who implemented reforms based on neoliberal principles. These included reducing taxes, privatizing state-owned industries, cutting social welfare programs, and embracing global free trade. The goal was to increase individual freedom and market efficiency by minimizing the role of the state in economic affairs.

Thucydides - A Very Short...

Jennifer T. Roberts

In 432 BCE the powerful city-state of Sparta on the peninsula of the Peloponnesus in southwestern Greece declared war on Athens, head of a mighty naval coalition. The war would last until Sparta finally brought Athens to its knees in 404. The Athenian aristocrat Thucydides, suspecting the magnitude of the conflict that was unfolding before his eyes, at once undertook to record its history, exploring the causes and course of the war in the context of his great interest: human nature. An introduction to Thucydides's thought and background, this book examines Thucydides's account of the war in the context both of the international situation in the classical Greek world and of the intellectual traditions of the fifth century BCE, exploring the historian's connection to prose writers like Herodotus as well as poets like Homer and the tragedians, and investigating the complex dynamics of the war that changed the Greek world forever.

Faith's Answers to America's...

Senator Joe Lieberman

Can the faith in God that most Americans share help us out of the political mess we're in? 
 
 
 
As both a religiously observant person and a veteran of forty years in elective office, Senator Joe Lieberman is uniquely prepared to answer this question. In fact, he is the first person with political experience to pose and answer such a question in response to the current crisis of political division and governmental dysfunction in America. 
 
 
 
Lieberman breaks down the causes of our political problems—including partisanship, incivility, and refusal to compromise—and then describes what the monotheistic faith that Christians, Jews, and Muslims share calls on us to do to overcome those problems. 
 
 
 
He directs this appeal to members of Congress and the White House; leaders of the news and entertainment industry, who have such a large influence on our values and political behavior; and members of the clergy, who need to be leaders of a new Religious Awakening in America. 
 
 
 
This book will provide a totally different way to look at American politics and government. It will open your mind and heart and give you hope for a better, more united future for our country.
