Download or read book A Futurist for the 21st Century written by Jan Krikke and published by Dco Books. This book was released on 2024-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended an introduction and a tribute to the visionary work of American futurist Lawrence Taub, author of The Spiritual Imperative: Sex, Age, and the Last Caste. Whether you are a seeker of wisdom, a student of history, or simply curious about humanity's collective journey, Taub provides a new framework for looking at the past, the present, and the future through new eyes. At the heart of Taub's work is his concept of societal "castes"-interpreted not as rigid social hierarchies, but as evolving stages of human development. These stages progress from basic survival and the pursuit of power and wealth to the eventual realization of spiritual purpose. Taub's thought-provoking macrohistory blends history, psychology, and spiritual philosophy to chart a path for individuals and societies grappling with the complexities of life in the 21st century.

Download or read book The Spiritual Imperative written by Lawrence H. Taub and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Copernicus and Galileo's sun-centered model of the solar system gave us our view of space. Newton and Einstein's mechanical and electromagnetic models of the universe gave us our view of nature. Can the human condition be captured with a similarly universal model? Author Lawrence H. Taub believes so, and he develops three of them-age, sex, and caste-to reveal the deeper currents of history. The models presented in The Spiritual Imperative clarify the past, explain the present, and help anticipate the future. Taub uses these models to make insightful forecasts of future discontinuities that answer the major questions facing us today. Some of his predictions include: - a regional political-economic block formed in the Far East and what this will mean to the world - an alliance between the U.S. and Russia and how this will develop - Israeli-Palestinian peace leading to a Pan-Semitic Union that will make the Middle East one of two main world centers of economic, political, and spiritual power in the mid-twenty-first century - the replacement of technology with religion and spirituality as the main growth market in the twenty-first century The Spiritual Imperative provides insight into where human civilization has been and where it's going.

Download or read book Youth Futures written by Jennifer Gidley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-08-30 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do young people see the future? Are they optimistic or pessimistic? Do their views vary from culture to culture? Are young people actively engaged in creating their desired futures or are they passively receiving the future? What effect has globalization on youth culture? How is the future taught in schools? These and many other questions are dealt with in this volume of comparative empirical research from around the world on how youth see the future. Generally, youth are considered immature, irresponsible toward the future, cliquish, impressionistic, and dangerous toward self and others. They are considered as a mass market—two billion strong—the passive recipients of globalization. Most recently in OECD nations, youth have become fodder for political speeches—they are the problem that reflects both the failure of the welfare state (dependence on the state), the failure of globalization (unemployment), and postmodernism (loss of meaning and the crisis of the spirit). In the Third World, youth are seen not only as the problem, but equally as the force that can topple a regime (as in Yugoslavia). However, youth can also be seen as carriers of a new worldview, a new ideology. These and other views concerning youth are examined in this volume of comparative empirical research. Studies from around the world provide intriguing answers to questions about how youth see the future and their future roles. This book will be of particular interest to scholars, students, researchers, and policymakers involved with youth issues and future studies.
