Download or read book Human Development in Cultural Context written by A Bame Nsamenang and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1992-05-26 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive, systematic account of human development which is sensitive to the needs, interests and ecologies of nonwestern cultures and individuals is provided in this unique volume. The importance and value of the sociocultural milieu in shaping the growth and development of children is emphasized, and the author asserts throughout that children do not grow and develop according to the same patterns regardless of culture. The author describes developmental psychology from the perspective of West Africa, demonstrating how the local ecology and the resulting cultural ideology lead to differing ways in which children are conceptualized and socialized, and in turn how they develop. While much of his case material is from

Download or read book How to Stay Smart in a Smart World written by Gerd Gigerenzer and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to stay in charge in a world populated by algorithms that beat us in chess, find us romantic partners, and tell us to “turn right in 500 yards.” Doomsday prophets of technology predict that robots will take over the world, leaving humans behind in the dust. Tech industry boosters think replacing people with software might make the world a better place—while tech industry critics warn darkly about surveillance capitalism. Despite their differing views of the future, they all agree: machines will soon do everything better than humans. In How to Stay Smart in a Smart World, Gerd Gigerenzer shows why that’s not true, and tells us how we can stay in charge in a world populated by algorithms. Machines powered by artificial intelligence are good at some things (playing chess), but not others (life-and-death decisions, or anything involving uncertainty). Gigerenzer explains why algorithms often fail at finding us romantic partners (love is not chess), why self-driving cars fall prey to the Russian Tank Fallacy, and how judges and police rely increasingly on nontransparent “black box” algorithms to predict whether a criminal defendant will reoffend or show up in court. He invokes Black Mirror, considers the privacy paradox (people want privacy, but give their data away), and explains that social media get us hooked by programming intermittent reinforcement in the form of the “like” button. We shouldn’t trust smart technology unconditionally, Gigerenzer tells us, but we shouldn’t fear it unthinkingly, either.

Download or read book Remapping Knowledge written by Mihai I. Spariosu and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2023-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing interdependence of the local and the global demand innovative approaches to human development. Such approaches, the author argues, ought to be based on the emerging ethics of global intelligence, defined as the ability to understand, respond to, and work toward what will benefit all human beings and will support and enrich all life on this planet. As no national or supranational authority can predefine or predetermine it, global intelligence involves long-term, collective learning processes and can emerge only from continuing intercultural research, dialogue, and cooperation. In this book, the author elaborates the basic principles of a new field of intercultural studies, oriented toward global intelligence. He proposes concrete research and educational programs that would help create intercultural learning environments designed to stimulate sustainable human development throughout the world.

Download or read book Human Development and Global Institutions written by Richard Ponzio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a timely and accessible introduction to the foundational ideas associated with the human development school of thought. It examines its conceptual evolution during the post-colonial era, and discusses how various institutions of the UN system have tried to engage with this issue, both in terms of intellectual and technical advance, and operationally. Showing that human development has had a profound impact on shaping the policy agenda and programming priorities of global institutions, it argues that human development has helped to preserve the continued vitality of major multilateral development programs, funds, and agencies. It also details how human development faces new risks and threats, caused by political, economic, social, and environmental forces which are highlighted in a series of engaging case studies on trade, water, energy, the environment, democracy, human rights, and peacebuilding. The book also makes the case for why human development remains relevant in an increasingly globalized world, while asking whether global institutions will be able to sustain political and moral support from their member states and powerful non-state actors. It argues that fresh new perspectives on human development are now urgently needed to fill critical gaps across borders and entire regions. A positive, forward-looking agenda for the future of global governance would have to engage with new issues such as the Sustainable Development Goals, energy transitions, resource scarcity, and expansion of democratic governance within and between nations. Redefining the overall nature and specific characteristics of what constitutes human progress in an increasingly integrated and interdependent world, this book serves as a primer for scholars and graduate students of international relations and development. It is also relevant to scholars of economics, political science, history, sociology, and women’s studies.

Download or read book Darwin Among The Machines written by George B. Dyson and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As timely now as it was when it was first published in 1997, Darwin Among the Machines tells the story of humankind's long journey into the digital age. Historian of technology George Dyson traces the course of the information revolution, illuminating the lives and work of visionaries -- from Thomas Hobbes to John von Neumann -- who foresaw the development of artificial intelligence, artificial life, and artificial mind. Weaving a convincing, occasionally frightening narrative of the evolution of the global network, Dyson explores the limits of Darwinian evolution to suggest what lies ahead. Computer programs and worldwide networks are combining to produce an evolutionary theater in which the distinctions between nature and technology are increasingly obscured, he argues. We are living in the midst of an experiment -- one that echoes the prehistory of human intelligence and the origins of life. Now in a new paperback edition, this classic work on the emergence of collective mechanical intelligence will resonate for generations to come.

Download or read book The Human Development written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Leonard Matcas. This book was released on with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is more significant to develop in life, your mind or your body? Both are nice to privilege, maintain, and develop, since they are both important. And if this is the case, then why do you see people taking care only of their bodies? Why are you always more desirable in society through your bodily appearance and through your social influence than through your intelligence, creativity, and other cognitive abilities? Why can you not find in the media, entertainment, and in society people engaged in a continuous development, but remaining preoccupied with addictions, bodily needs, continuous servitude, and social competition? And now, if you had the chance to develop as intensely as you could, what exactly would you enhance the most? Because throughout life, people neglect to develop important aspects related to their mind and bodies, while privileging other activities instead, only because these happen to render them happier, more popular, and therefore more successful, in a stereotypical manner. But how exactly do you know how to develop? How can you even tell what is pertinent to do in life? You already know all the legal, moral, social, and religious beliefs and tendencies of what to do and how to behave and develop, but you cannot even follow them, or not entirely, since you have other things to do, as everybody else. And now, by engaging in all addictions, entertainment, and other irrelevant activities, you take away from your own development and fulfillment. If you can even identify your own meaning and fulfillment in life, besides what you see around. What can you do? Reason, at the third intelligent human level, through the extraordinary human mind, if you can ever understand the human mind in the first place. Because all knowledge provided to you consensually by the current science stands at the first, servitude, ideological level, while all physiological tendencies coming from the human body are at the second, animal level, remaining incompatible. You may still reason and develop through your human mind, yet you have to be able to identify and remove all irrelevant and harmful beliefs, stereotypes, and entire ideologies in order to be able to reason accurately. We notice now a discrepancy between people’s meaningful, adequate development, and the consensual behavior demanded by others and meant for servitude, indoctrination, and social acceptance, coming for stereotypical purposes. However, can you even define the adequate, the meaningful, and the proper human development and how this should take place? You can always trace it, if you can ever identify the actual accurate human meaning in life and in this world. This book studies the human development at cognitive, social, higher, and physical levels, in order to help you learn how to develop your mind, body, and intelligences along with all their cognitive abilities. This study is done from objective, cognitive, and behavioral perspectives, at the levels of your mind, body, higher self, and much more.
