Download or read book Social Change and the Family in Taiwan written by Arland Thornton and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the 1940s, social life in Taiwan was generally organized through the family—marriages were arranged by parents, for example, and senior males held authority. In the following years, as Taiwan evolved rapidly from an agrarian to an industrialized society, individual decisions became less dependent on the family and more influenced by outside forces. Social Change and the Family in Taiwan provides an in-depth analysis of the complex changes in family relations in a society undergoing revolutionary social and economic transformation. This interdisciplinary study explores the patterns and causes of change in education, work, income, leisure time, marriage, living arrangements, and interactions among extended kin. Theoretical chapters enunciate a theory of family and social change centered on the life course and modes of social organization. Other chapters look at the shift from arranged marriages toward love matches, as well as changes in dating practices, premarital sex, fertility, and divorce. Contributions to the book are made by Jui-Shan Chang, Ming-Cheng Chang, Deborah S. Freedman, Ronald Freedman, Thomas E. Fricke, Albert Hermalin, Mei-Lin Lee, Paul K. C. Liu, Hui-Sheng Lin, Te-Hsiung Sun, Arland Thornton, Maxine Weinstein, and Li-Shou Yang.

Book excerpt: This is the frank and honest story of the Thornton family and their confectionery business. It's the story of the building of one of Britain's premier brands by a family that was frequently at war: the battles of the generations and of sibling rivalry. A family that was at the same time highly creative in a chaotic way and a younger generation that was determined to expand and exploit the opportunity despite the stringent and restrictive control held by the older generation, Norman and Stanley Thornton until their deaths. Nothing is held back, the good times, the bad times, the successes, the failures, the conflicts, the battles, the love affairs and the moments of high elation and deep depression. Peter Thornton, Ex-Chairman of the family business tells his story with startling frankness, starting in 1956, through to his dismissal from the company in 1987 after a career which had been very successful. It was a dismissal which seemed to be entirely a result of family politics and jealousies and nothing to do with performance -- a dismissal resulting from a boardroom coup that tore the heart out of the Thornton family. Thorntons began in Sheffield in 1911. This book describes the family at that time and after: their battle for survival through problems of illness and the death of the founder, period descriptions of old Sheffield, the struggles of the family and the business to survive and grow through two World Wars, recession, depression and the General Strike. Thorntons became the premiere confectionery brand in England. But along the way were family betrayals, suicides and extra-marital affairs. After the boardroom coup of 1987, Peter Thornton had to rebuild his life. He had been groomed from birth to run the family business, and had to start all over again. But he never lost his love for and interest in the family business, which became a public company, and changed beyond recognition. Peter explains where things went wrong and where he thinks the future of the company now lies. Themes of destructive and dysfunctional personal relationships, conflict and emotional difficulties are candidly covered. And there is a strong feeling of nostalgia for old times and the traditions of the old business. The moral is that success and money can come at a horrible price -- even to one of Britain's best-known brands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European and American scholars from the eighteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries thought that all societies passed through the same developmental stages, from primitive to advanced. Implicit in this developmental paradigm—one that has affected generations of thought on societal development—was the assumption that one could "read history sideways." That is, one could see what the earlier stages of a modern Western society looked like by examining contemporaneous so-called primitive societies in other parts of the world. In Reading History Sideways, leading family scholar Arland Thornton demonstrates how this approach, though long since discredited, has permeated Western ideas and values about the family. Further, its domination of social science for centuries caused the misinterpretation of Western trends in family structure, marriage, fertility, and parent-child relations. Revisiting the "developmental fallacy," Thornton here traces its central role in changes in the Western world, from marriage to gender roles to adolescent sexuality. Through public policies, aid programs, and colonialism, it continues to reshape families in non-Western societies as well.

Book excerpt: "Thornton Wilder: A Life brings readers face to face with the extraordinary man who made words come alive around the world, on the stage and on the page." —James Earl Jones, actor "Comprehensive and wisely fashioned….A splendid and long needed work." —Edward Albee, playwright Thornton Wilder—three-time Pulitzer Prize winner, creator of such enduring stage works as Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth, and beloved novels like Bridge of San Luis Ray and Theophilus North—was much more than a pivotal figure in twentieth century American theater and literature. He was a world-traveler, a student, a teacher, a soldier, an actor, a son, a brother, and a complex, intensely private man who kept his personal life a secret. In Thornton Wilder: A Life, author Penelope Niven pulls back the curtain to present a fascinating, three-dimensional portrait one of America's greatest playwrights, novelists, and literary icons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a love story of an African American family living in the American South during the late 1800's until the present time. It traces their linage though the use of DNA and Census Reports. It tells their story through a Narrator. The Story Teller was almost like a mystery writer as he uncovers and reveals an exceptional family. We applauded the fortitude and endurance of this multi-generational family as they fought to keep their dignity and pride during those times in the racial segregated South. We then saw the Family contribute to the New American South.
