Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Basis for Social Progress Criticisms of the principles promulgated herein, which have been as freely invited as offered, have dwelt most with the novelty of the plan proposed. Conservatism must ever play its part. Yet in other fields of activity in America novelty has scarcely been an insurmountable barrier to progress. If our proposal be a novelty, as it has been heralded by those educators who have been approached for eriti cism, it is novel only in the field of education. The principles are ancient ones, long operative in every branch of scientific research. The newness lies, not in the principles, but in the application of those principles.

Book Synopsis Poverty and Social Progress (Classic Reprint) by : Maurice Parmelee
Download or read book Poverty and Social Progress (Classic Reprint) written by Maurice Parmelee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poverty and Social Progress A scientific study of poverty shows how fatuous are most of the measures whose familiar shibboleths are philanthropy, social service, moral reform, and religion. An effective pro gram for the prevention of poverty cannot be devised and car ried out until an intensive and accurate analysis of the mani fold causes of poverty has been made. Such a study requires an extensive knowledge of human nature and social organization. It is obviously impossible to make an exhaustive study within the limits of one book. But I have endeavored to give a com prehensive survey of the problems of poverty which shows the one-sided character of many of the explanations of its causation and which will at least furnish the starting point for an effective program of prevention. Chapters III - V, inclusive, discuss the biological factors in the causation of poverty. Readers not interested in this aspect of the subject may omit these chapters and yet not be seriously inconvenienced in reading the remainder of the book. While all of the important causes of poverty are discussed, it goes without saying that the outstanding ones are the economic factors, since poverty is primarily an economic condition. Con sequently the discussion centers in the main around the two fundamental economic problems, namely, those of the production and the distribution of wealth. This book should be useful to many persons who are interested in these important social questions. It furnishes data of great value for the solution of many of the problems of citizenship and statesmanship. It is also suitable for use as a textbook for college and university courses on charities, poverty, pauperism, dependency, social pathology, etc. It will give the student an insight into the nature and causes of these great social evils and will furnish a basis for a more detailed study of special topics within this field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engines of Social Progress There are no politics in this book. A similar claim has been put forward by many writers, and, as a rule, it has not been substantiated, for politics are all pervading, and more often than not blight the fairest fruit of human endeavour. There is in the popular mind an apparently hopeless confusion of politics and economics, because the latter have become the toy of politicians - their arsenal of argument and the plat form oi their promises; parties have been formed nominally according to the natural division of men into schools of thought. Little by little expediency has compelled the inclusion of theories that the original school would perhaps never have admitted, so that certain groups are finally committed to certain politics, and that men, originally their opponents on vastly different issues, find themselves naturally inclined to combat the introduction of measures which the founders of the party might have sup ported. Yet nothing is further removed from politics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Education and Social Progress (Classic Reprint) written by Ira W. Howerth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and Social Progress Holding in mind, then, the conception of a developing social group, we may describe the social evolutionary process which results primarily in the education of the social group, in the same manner that was employed in outlining the development of the individual. The process of group development, like that of individual development, may be divided into natural or genetic, and artificial or telic evolution. The natural evolution of the social group, so far as it is progressive, has resulted from the operation of external causes, or from the activities of the members of the group undirected towards a social end. Natural social evolution is a resultant of the reactions of the group upon its environment, and the activities of its members directed towards the satisfaction of their desires without thought of the effect of these activities upon social develop ment. It is wholly unintended. Looking back at the his torical development of society, for instance, we can see that social progress has sometimes been achieved without its being aimed at by anybody. This phase of the development of a social group corresponds exactly to the natural development of the biological organism. It is the education which Nature gives to the social group thru its unconscious experience with its obj ective'and subjective environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Basis of Civilization The American Social Progress Series is designed to furnish the increasing number of students of our concrete American social life, especially in its manifestation in social problems that have arisen in the larger cities of the United States, a series of brief and clearly written handbooks, stating the newer social thought based upon the accumulated material of recent scientific investigations. Some of the volumes, for which plans are in progress, will be chiefly descriptive, and- embody the results of such field investigation of the facts relating to special problems as we have recorded for English conditions in the works of Mr. Charles Booth, Mr. Rowntree, and others. Brevity of statement and conciseness of treatment will be maintained so that these handbooks may be serviceable for col lateral reading and class discussion in the various groups of persons, who, in our colleges and educational institutions as well as in clubs and literary societies, are giving attention and study to the social problems of our own time.

Book Synopsis The Vanishing Neighbor: The Transformation of American Community by : Marc J. Dunkelman
Download or read book The Vanishing Neighbor: The Transformation of American Community written by Marc J. Dunkelman and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping new look at the unheralded transformation that is eroding the foundations of American exceptionalism. Americans today find themselves mired in an era of uncertainty and frustration. The nation's safety net is pulling apart under its own weight; political compromise is viewed as a form of defeat; and our faith in the enduring concept of American exceptionalism appears increasingly outdated. But the American Age may not be ending. In The Vanishing Neighbor, Marc J. Dunkelman identifies an epochal shift in the structure of American life—a shift unnoticed by many. Routines that once put doctors and lawyers in touch with grocers and plumbers—interactions that encouraged debate and cultivated compromise—have changed dramatically since the postwar era. Both technology and the new routines of everyday life connect tight-knit circles and expand the breadth of our social landscapes, but they've sapped the commonplace, incidental interactions that for centuries have built local communities and fostered healthy debate. The disappearance of these once-central relationships—between people who are familiar but not close, or friendly but not intimate—lies at the root of America's economic woes and political gridlock. The institutions that were erected to support what Tocqueville called the "township"—that unique locus of the power of citizens—are failing because they haven't yet been molded to the realities of the new American community. It's time we moved beyond the debate over whether the changes being made to American life are good or bad and focus instead on understanding the tradeoffs. Our cities are less racially segregated than in decades past, but we’ve become less cognizant of what's happening in the lives of people from different economic backgrounds, education levels, or age groups. Familiar divisions have been replaced by cross-cutting networks—with profound effects for the way we resolve conflicts, spur innovation, and care for those in need. The good news is that the very transformation at the heart of our current anxiety holds the promise of more hope and prosperity than would have been possible under the old order. The Vanishing Neighbor argues persuasively that to win the future we need to adapt yesterday’s institutions to the realities of the twenty-first-century American community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scientific Basis of National Progress: Including That of Morality The book is divided into four chapters, viz 1st. The Scientific basis of Material progress: 2na'. The Scientific basis of Mental and Moral progress 3rd. New truth and its relation to Human progress: and The Promotion of original Scientific Research. As the object of the book is only to call attention to the vast importance of new truth, as as a fundamental source of advance, and how to promote the discovery of it, the essay is written as briefly as possible, and is not offered in any sense as a complete exposition Of the subject, especially the section relating to the Scientific basis of Morality. The leading idea of the Book is that present knowledge only enables us to maintain our present state, that national progress is the result of new ideas, and that the chief source of new ideas is original research) That as advance has its origin in new knowledge; unless new discoveries are made, new inventions and improvements must sooner or later cease. Another prominent idea is, that truth is essentially the same in all divisions of knowledge, and that the mental powers and processes employed in detecting it are the same in all subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sklansky traces a shift in American social thought as the gradual demise of the household economy rendered proprietary independence an increasingly embattled ideal. Amid the widening class divide, nineteenth-century social theorists devised a new science of American society that reconceived freedom in terms of psychic self-expression instead of economic self-interest, and they redefined democracy in terms of cultural kinship rather than social compact.

Book Synopsis Lev Vygotsky (Classic Edition) by : Fred Newman
Download or read book Lev Vygotsky (Classic Edition) written by Fred Newman and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Lev Vygotsky: Revolutionary Scientist published, it was unique in several ways. It presented Vygotsky as a Marxist methodologist, both locating him in his historical period and delineating how his life and writings have been a catalyst for a contemporary revolutionary, practical-critical, psychology. It highlighted Vygotsky’s unconventional view of how development and learning are related and, in doing so, brought human development into prominence. It introduced important linkages between Vygotsky’s views on thinking and speaking and those of Wittgenstein, drawing implications for language acquisition and language learning. And it drew attention to Vygotsky’s understanding of the role of play in child development, and expanded on the significance of play throughout the lifespan. In these ways, this classic text presented a more expansive Vygotsky than previously understood. The Introduction to this Classic Edition will summarize what has transpired in the years since Lev Vygotsky first published. It will answer who and where is Vygotsky now? What place does he have in scholarship in psychology, education, and other fields? How are practitioners making use of him—to address the challenges of our times, solve seemingly intractable social problems, revolutionize psychology, and develop skilled and worldly citizens? What have the authors accomplished since they first articulated their view of Vygotsky as a revolutionary scientist?
Book Synopsis The Sociology and Politics of Development by : Baidya Nath Varma
Download or read book The Sociology and Politics of Development written by Baidya Nath Varma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-11-26 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1980, this work answers the crucial question of how social change should be guided in the developing countries. Professor Varma begins by posing the problems of the general scope of modernization and the general criteria used in the modernization process. He examines carefully some of the models that have been used for this purpose in the past, providing extensive summaries of the views on modernization of theorists in various social science disciplines, including sociology, politics, economics, and anthropology, and stresses the importance of these views in guiding policy decisions. The book concludes with a comparison of the development processes of the United States, the Soviet Union, China, Japan and India.
