Download or read book Human Nature and the Social Order written by Charles Horton Cooley and published by . This book was released on 1902 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work remains a pioneer sociological treatise on American culture. By understanding the individual not as the product of society but as its mirror image, Cooley concludes that the social order cannot be imposed from outside human nature but that it arises from the self. Cooley stimulated pedagogical inquiry into the dynamics of society with the publication of Human Nature and the Social Order in 1902. Human Nature and the Social Order is something more than an admirable ethical treatise. It is also a classic work on the process of social communication as the "very stuff" of which the self is made.
Download or read book Human Nature and the Social Order The Interplay of Man s Behaviors Character and Personal Traits with His Society written by Charles Horton Cooley and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Horton Cooley's account of human beings, their behavior, and how they organize themselves has been praised for its originality, and remains an underappreciated and much-cited classic of sociology. Human Nature and the Social Order is a logically composed book which straddles and to a degree transcends the boundaries between philosophy, psychology and sociology. Cooley wished to clarify the behavior of human beings, how they come to interact and socialize with one another, and how they arrive at a definition of themselves that is in harmony with their own well-being and that of others. Later in the book, Cooley discusses qualities which have been promoted or felt as necessary for humans in civilized society. Good, conscientious and beneficent leadership, the possession of a moral compass and conscience, and the excellent values of freedom receive their own discussions with positive and negative elements comprising the well-rounded analyses.
Download or read book Character Theology written by Tom Steffen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-02-21 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Character Theology provides a natural, universal way for the world to engage God through his chosen cast of characters. As the media eras continue to change (oral to print to digital-virtual), too many Bible scholars, and consequently pastors and Bible teachers in the West and beyond, lack capability to effectively communicate Scripture to Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha. These generations find little if any relevance in the Christianity promoted by those stuck in modernity’s sticky abstract systematic theology. Character Theology relates, sticks, and transforms these generations. Why? Because people grasp and engage God most naturally and precisely through his interaction with biblical characters and their interaction with each other! Characters communicate the Creator’s characteristics. The roadmap to the recovery and expansion of Christianity in the twenty-first century will be through Bible characters.

This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Symbolic Interactions in the Shrine of the South: Conversations with a Damn Yankee finds that Lexington-Rockbridge, VA, community sentiments toward Southern symbols such as the Confederate Battle Flag and Robert E. Lee are not necessarily reducible to a racial divide. John F. Cataldi uses data to demonstrate that most black and white respondents navigate a social balance between the extremes of conservation and progress as a way to productively coexist and unify as a community rather than maintain an insular posture or cause division based solely on symbolic ideology. These findings challenge conventional sociological and media-provided paradigms and broaden the discussion of what tolerance and situational context mean for a large spectrum of community members who live in the milieu of Confederate symbols every day.

Book excerpt: Charles Horton Cooley's account of human beings, their behavior, and how they organize themselves has been praised for its originality, and remains an underappreciated and much-cited classic of sociology. Human Nature and the Social Order is a logically composed book which straddles and to a degree transcends the boundaries between philosophy, psychology and sociology. Cooley wished to clarify the behavior of human beings, how they come to interact and socialize with one another, and how they arrive at a definition of themselves that is in harmony with their own well-being and that of others. Later in the book, Cooley discusses qualities which have been promoted or felt as necessary for humans in civilized society. Good, conscientious and beneficent leadership, the possession of a moral compass and conscience, and the excellent values of freedom receive their own discussions with positive and negative elements comprising the well-rounded analyses. With leadership, Cooley is primarily concerned with the qualities that see a good leader promoted to the higher echelons of the social order - but also the fact that his best qualities may detrimentally eclipse the rest of his personality. Cooley also examines human nature when it becomes degenerate, reflecting on whether such degeneracy is inherited, and to what extent it can become accepted among groups of people. What arouses hostility between people and their social orders, where this function of the mind originated, and the use of fear in causing hostility are matters Cooley also takes interest in. This printing of Human Nature and the Social Order is adapted from the revised and updated 1922 edition, and is inclusive of the author's original notes and references appended at the close of each chapter.

Book excerpt: "Understanding Human Nature: The Psychology of Personality" is a seminal work by Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychiatrist and psychotherapist. Published in 1927, this book presents Adler's theories on personality and human behavior, which laid the foundation for the school of individual psychology. In the book, Adler explores the fundamental aspects of human nature, including the dynamics of personality development, the influence of social factors, and the significance of individual experiences and perceptions. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the subjective experiences of individuals and how they shape their behavior and worldview. One of Adler's key concepts is the "inferiority complex," which he argues is a driving force behind human behavior. He suggests that individuals strive for superiority to overcome feelings of inferiority, and that these efforts shape their personality and motivations. "Understanding Human Nature" offers insights into various aspects of human psychology, including the formation of personality traits, the role of early childhood experiences, and the impact of societal influences. Adler's holistic approach to understanding human behavior continues to influence psychology and psychotherapy to this day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book, which is in its second edition, provides a provocative mirror from which to discern more clearly one's own assumptions about human nature. . . . I found myself reflecting on the subject matter and its impact on my own life, including relationships, teaching, research, and therapy. . . . The author has done a superb job of raising our consciousness about human nature in this book, an I strongly recommend it to academic and applied psychologists. If you need an invitation to examine your views about human nature, this book is it." --C. R. Snyder, University of Kansas, Lawrence In general, are people trustworthy or unreliable, altruistic or selfish? Are they simple and easy to understand or complex and beyond comprehension? Our assumptions about human nature color everything from the way we bargain with a used-car dealer to our expectations about further conflict in the Middle East. Because our assumptions about human nature underlie our reactions to specific events, Wrightsman designed this second edition to enhance our understanding of human nature--the relationship of attitudes to behavior, the unidimensionality of attitudes, and the influence of social movements on beliefs. Psychologists, social workers, researchers, and students will find Assumptions About Human Nature an illuminating exploration into the philosophies of human nature.
Download or read book Personality Structure and Human Interaction written by Harry Y. Guntrip and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has a theory of man as a social being to be formulated if we are to do justice to his individuality, to the subtle ways in which his love and hate compete within his relations with others and to the anxieties and resistances he shows when he seeks to change himself? To answer this question is the task which the author sets himself. After assessing Freud's basic principles, the author proceeds to make a uniquely comprehensive review of subsequent theoretical contributions to psychoanalysis with special emphasis on the work of Fairbairn and Melanie Klein. From a background of philosophy, theology and social studies, the author went on to take a personal psychoanalysis and to become a full time psychotherapist, and it is from this combination of wide knowledge and intensive work with people beset by conflicts in their relations with themselves and others that he evolves his views.

Download or read book Understanding Human Nature written by Alfred Adler and published by . This book was released on 1941 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Since its first appearance in English in 1927, this book has become a classic, and easily the most widely read of Adler's works. Its re-publication at this time, with a new introduction, has special significance. For in no period of human history has it been more imperative for man to understand himself and his place in society. Thoughtful men have many times called attention to the alarming disparity between our gigantic conquests in the physical world and the lamentable inadequacy of our knowledge of ourselves. This state of affairs, as much as any single factor in our civilization, has given rise to the neurotic personality of our times. Socrates made much of the admonition "Know thyself," but he neglected to give directions for attaining that knowledge. The problem has remained one for modern psychiatry to undertake. "Understanding Human Nature" is a step along the way. Written for the layman, it is notable for its simplicity, its warm and understanding viewpoint. Adler really liked people. When he approaches the problems of why we think and behave in certain patterns; why things go wrong with us in our mental life; why, in a world of which we are the masters, we nevertheless are tortured by doubt and inferiority; why fear and greed drive us to cruelty and aggression; why we remain such a mystery to ourselves -- in seeking the answers to these problems, Adler is not simply the clinician, but first of all a fellow human being. His aim is always the same: The creation of a mature, well-balanced individual capable of meeting the responsibilities and decisions of the modern world. for that reason, this book has proved to be one of the most enlightened and helpful in the field of popular psychiatry."--Inside covers
