Download or read book Philanthropology the Science of Philanthropy written by Theo Schuyt and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds a positive light on the prevalence of love for humankind in the form of philanthropy. All around our globe, people rich and poor, urban and rural, religious and non-religious, in “advanced” and “developing” societies alike, perform acts of philanthropy, organizationally embedded and guided by philanthropic values and norms. This book, therefore, attempts to reach a truly international audience, because philanthropy is not an exclusively Western phenomenon. Besides the growing public interest across the world, more and more academic disciplines are taking an interest in philanthropy, each scrutinizing philanthropy from their own disciplinary perspective and with a particular focus. As a result, however, the overall picture has rather faded into the background. In line with cultural anthropologists, the book presents philanthropy as a universal societal system, differently arranged in each society, that deserves a distinctive academic discipline: the science of philanthropology.

Download or read book Voices from the Margins written by Jangkholam Haokip and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2022-07-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wisdom of tribal peoples has often been overlooked, both within the church and outside of it. However as the ideologies of consumerism, free market individualism, and nationalism grow more and more dominant across the globe, with devastating implications for our planet’s shared future, it has become ever more urgent to make space for voices from the margins – voices offering alternative frameworks for understanding the nature of existence, spirituality, and what it means to be human. This book draws together contributors from diverse tribal and denominational backgrounds to reflect on the future of Christianity in Northeast India, a region rich in ancient myths, oral traditions, and a vibrant awareness of both the spiritual realm and the embeddedness of humans within creation. Joining a wider conversation regarding the integration of Christianity and primal traditions, the authors wrestle with crucial questions surrounding identity and the challenges of contextualizing the gospel in relation to their own languages, cultures, and traditions. Looking both backwards and forwards, they provide insight into the history of Christianity in tribal contexts, while exploring the vital significance of recovering and transmitting indigenous knowledge and the profound perspective it offers the church into the significance of Christ and his gospel.
Download or read book Folklore Identity Development written by Dr. Soumen Sen and published by Anjali Publishers. This book was released on 2010-02-18 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays are written in the context of the so-called tribal areas of the north-eastern region of India. The base data in most cases have however been collected from Meghalaya, the Khasi-Jaintia Hills in particular, my primary research universe. However, the ethnic groups living in the mountainous terrain of India’s north-east, show a characteristic unity, despite linguistic and cultural diversities, that of being in a state of social format called ‘tribal’ facing similar problems of static life, economy and under-development. Added to this are the tensions generated in recent years when education and some waves of development reached the region and tribal self-governing states in the Indian Union came in to being. Consequently, new issues have come into the fore–the issues relating to self-assertion, retention of the age-old cultural identity, the crisis of adjustment between tradition and modernity, and above all, the tensions of a change-over from the tranquil folklife to modern hurly-burly including those of the fast moving world in the days of globalization. Consequently, there also appeared a concern with folklore, the search for a ‘lore’ of essential core, to write a new history.

Download or read book Invisible Power written by Philip Allott and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-11-21 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We human beings have made the human world. If we dont like it, we can change it. Invisible Power is the story of an international conspiracy whose aim is to re-make the human world. They are planning a revolution, not in the streets, but in our minds. It is the story of an exceptional young man who gets involved in the conspiracy and who sees it as a possible way to pursue his own ideas and ideals. We inhabit a natural world that we share with all other living species. But the human species has a strange species-characteristic. We have the power to think and to communicate our thinking. The human world is the world we have made by thinking and talking to each other. The human world is our second habitat. Philosophy is thinking about thinking, especially thinking about the reality that we make by thinking about our two worlds, natural and human. So Invisible Power is not only the story of a conspiracy. It is also a philosophical analysis of the making of the human world that we inhabit today. It uncovers the reality behind the everyday reality that we take for granted. We can all make the effort to discover the reality-behind-the-reality. And that means that, if we want, we cal all help in the task of making a better human world. Why not? Join the conspiracy!

Download or read book Giving Done Right written by Phil Buchanan and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to philanthropy at all levels of giving that seeks to educate and inspire A majority of American households give to charity in some form or another--from local donations to food banks, religious organizations, or schools, to contributions to prevent disease or protect basic freedoms. Whether you're in a position to give $1 or $1 million, every giver needs to answer the same question: How do I channel my giving effectively to make the greatest difference? In Giving Done Right, Phil Buchanan, the president of the Center for Effective Philanthropy, arms donors with what it takes to do more good more quickly and to avoid predictable errors that lead too many astray. This crucial book will reveal the secrets and lessons learned from some of the biggest givers, from the work of software entrepreneur Tim Gill and his foundation to expand rights for LGBTQ people to the efforts of a midwestern entrepreneur whose faith told him he must do something about childhood slavery in Ghana. It busts commonly held myths and challenging the idea that "business thinking" holds the answer to effective philanthropy. And it offers the intellectual frameworks, data-driven insights, tools, and practical examples to allow readers to understand exactly what it takes to make a difference.
