Sinossi

"Progress vs Regress" offers a thought-provoking examination of how societies advance and decline, challenging the common belief that human development follows a straightforward upward path. Through a comprehensive analysis spanning archaeology, economics, and social psychology, the book reveals how progress and regression are intricately interconnected, often occurring simultaneously across different aspects of society.

 
This nuanced approach demonstrates how technological advancements might coincide with deteriorating social bonds or environmental conditions, painting a more complex picture of societal development. The book's three-part structure first establishes a theoretical framework for understanding the cyclical nature of progress, then explores specific cases across technological, social, and cultural domains, and finally presents practical models for evaluating change processes.

 
Drawing from diverse historical examples, from ancient empires to contemporary societies, the author illustrates how advancements in one area frequently correlate with decline in others. The analysis is particularly relevant in our current era of rapid technological transformation, offering valuable insights for policy makers, academics, and informed citizens.

 
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach and balanced perspective, combining quantitative social indicators with qualitative historical analysis to create a comprehensive understanding of societal change. Rather than advocating for either a purely optimistic or pessimistic view, the book provides practical frameworks for analyzing and managing change processes, helping readers navigate the complex interplay between progress and regress in their own contexts. The author's careful examination of historical patterns and contemporary data offers readers tools to better understand and respond to ongoing social transformations.

    Reality Therapy - Facing Reality...

    Reality Therapy is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes personal responsibility and focuses on the present moment, encouraging individuals to make choices that align with their true desires and values. Developed by Dr. William Glasser in the 1960s, it diverges from traditional therapeutic methods by centering on the idea that behavior is a choice and that people can gain control of their lives through conscious decisions. 
    At the core of Reality Therapy is the concept that all behavior is purposeful and is driven by an individual's attempt to fulfill basic needs. These needs include survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun. When people feel that these needs are unmet, they often engage in behaviors that are designed to satisfy them, even if those behaviors are not helpful or productive. Reality Therapy challenges individuals to evaluate whether their current behaviors are effective in meeting these needs and whether they are serving their long-term goals. 
    Another key aspect of Reality Therapy is the belief that individuals can only control their own actions. While external circumstances may influence a person's situation, the therapy stresses that the responsibility for behavior lies with the individual. This approach encourages people to focus on what they can change—namely, their actions—and to stop blaming others or external conditions for their problems. It promotes the idea that by changing one’s choices, it is possible to create a more fulfilling and responsible life.

    Legacy of Empire - Britain...

    It is now more than seventy years since the creation of the state of Israel, yet its origins and the British Empire's historic responsibility for Palestine remain little known. Confusion persists too as to the distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. In Legacy of Empire, Gardner Thompson offers a clear-eyed review of political Zionism and Britain's role in shaping the history of Palestine and Israel. Thompson explores why the British government adopted Zionism in the early twentieth century, issuing the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and then retaining it as the cornerstone of their rule in Palestine after the First World War. Despite evidence and warnings, over the next two decades Britain would facilitate the colonisation of Arab Palestine by Jewish immigrants, ultimately leading to a conflict which it could not contain. Britain's response was to propose the partition of an ungovernable land: a 'two-state solution' which - though endorsed by the United Nations after the Second World War - has so far brought into being neither two states nor a solution. A highly readable and compelling account of Britain's rule in Palestine, Legacy of Empire is essential for those wishing to better understand the roots of this enduring conflict.
