Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more, we present ourselves and encounter others through profiles. A profile shows us not as we are seen directly but how we are perceived by a broader public. As we observe how others observe us, we calibrate our self-presentation accordingly. Profile-based identity is evident everywhere from pop culture to politics, marketing to morality. But all too often critics simply denounce this alleged superficiality in defense of some supposedly pure ideal of authentic or sincere expression. This book argues that the profile marks an epochal shift in our concept of identity and demonstrates why that matters. You and Your Profile blends social theory, philosophy, and cultural critique to unfold an exploration of the way we have come to experience the world. Instead of polemicizing against the profile, Hans-Georg Moeller and Paul J. D’Ambrosio outline how it works, how we readily apply it in our daily lives, and how it shapes our values—personally, economically, and ethically. They develop a practical vocabulary of life in the digital age. Informed by the Daoist tradition, they suggest strategies for handling the pressure of social media by distancing oneself from one’s public face. A deft and wide-ranging consideration of our era’s identity crisis, this book provides vital clues on how to stay sane in a time of proliferating profiles.

Download or read book The Lies that Bind Rethinking Identity written by Kwame Anthony Appiah and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Washington Post Notable Book of the Year As seen on the Netflix series Explained From the best-selling author of Cosmopolitanism comes this revealing exploration of how the collective identities that shape our polarized world are riddled with contradiction. Who do you think you are? That’s a question bound up in another: What do you think you are? Gender. Religion. Race. Nationality. Class. Culture. Such affiliations give contours to our sense of self, and shape our polarized world. Yet the collective identities they spawn are riddled with contradictions, and cratered with falsehoods. Kwame Anthony Appiah’s The Lies That Bind is an incandescent exploration of the nature and history of the identities that define us. It challenges our assumptions about how identities work. We all know there are conflicts between identities, but Appiah shows how identities are created by conflict. Religion, he demonstrates, gains power because it isn’t primarily about belief. Our everyday notions of race are the detritus of discarded nineteenth-century science. Our cherished concept of the sovereign nation—of self-rule—is incoherent and unstable. Class systems can become entrenched by efforts to reform them. Even the very idea of Western culture is a shimmering mirage. From Anton Wilhelm Amo, the eighteenth-century African child who miraculously became an eminent European philosopher before retiring back to Africa, to Italo Svevo, the literary marvel who changed citizenship without leaving home, to Appiah’s own father, Joseph, an anticolonial firebrand who was ready to give his life for a nation that did not yet exist, Appiah interweaves keen-edged argument with vibrant narratives to expose the myths behind our collective identities. These “mistaken identities,” Appiah explains, can fuel some of our worst atrocities—from chattel slavery to genocide. And yet, he argues that social identities aren’t something we can simply do away with. They can usher in moral progress and bring significance to our lives by connecting the small scale of our daily existence with larger movements, causes, and concerns. Elaborating a bold and clarifying new theory of identity, The Lies That Bind is a ringing philosophical statement for the anxious, conflict-ridden twenty-first century. This book will transform the way we think about who—and what—“we” are.
Download or read book Identity written by Francis Fukuyama and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently in Bill Gates's bookbag and FT Books of 2018Increasingly, the demands of identity direct the world's politics. Nation, religion, sect, race, ethnicity, gender: these categories have overtaken broader, inclusive ideas of who we are. We have built walls rather than bridges. The result: increasing in anti-immigrant sentiment, rioting on college campuses, and the return of open white supremacy to our politics. In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American and global institutions were in a state of decay, as the state was captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, his predictions were borne out by the rise to power of a series of political outsiders whose economic nationalism and authoritarian tendencies threatens to destabilise the entire international order. These populist nationalists seek direct charismatic connection to 'the people', who are usually defined in narrow identity terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group and exclude large parts of the population as a whole.Identity is an urgent and necessary book: a sharp warning that unless we forge a universal understanding of human dignity, we will doom ourselves to continual conflict.

Download or read book Inside Insight written by John W Worley and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are you? Wouldn't you like to be authentic? “INSIDE INSIGHT!” By the time you finish reading this book, YOU will be a NEW PERSON! Most people have no idea what they want. Then again, for that matter, who they are. That is causing a world of hurt. The outcome from Dr. Worley is a ground-breaking psychometric assessment, Worley’s ID Profile (WIDP). WIDP used with overwhelmingly positive reviews by corporate leaders, HR Departments, clinicians, churches, schools, sports teams, families, and individuals. In this book, Dr. Worley speaks about how he developed WIDP, why it is radically different from other profiling systems, and how you can use it to help align your outer persona and behavior with your inner expectations. WIDP concretely identifies what you "prefer and do not prefer from others.” This crucial proof will help enhance your quality of life, and "You will see yourself on the pages of your profile.” Having completed thousands of profiles I ALWAYS get responses like, “WOW, how can you get this much information from those questions?” or “I can’t believe how accurate this is about me!” or “I wish I had this information when I was younger!” or “I want to profile my whole family.” Let’s say you are one of those individuals that have always felt uncomfortable being around many people and don’t like to socialize. GUESS WHAT? Most of society is like that! That is why no one talks on elevators or in doctor’s offices. It just happens to be your unique temperament. It is “OK” for you to feel that way because that is who you are so, leave yourself alone and enjoy the recluse life. You are one of those people who live in their head, thinking, creating, dreaming and inventing ideas. Most people go through life not being able to identify with their true inner desires. You are one of a kind, unique person and that makes you very special. Then there is the temperament that has the innate desire always to be leading others, making decisions, and being in control. They are natural-born leaders and, like cream in milk, will always rise to the top of an organization. You are naturally gifted as a leader and have innate ability to lead armies. If you cannot lead where you are, you will move to another position. You will be anxious until you land in a governance spot. Once you find that position, you will be fulfilled. Then there are the peacemakers, servants, and cheerleaders! The peacemakers balance out everyone and maintain harmony. They are great arbitrators and have a comedy streak. The servants are loyal and committed to working until the task is completed. They are proficient and quiet. They are invaluable. The cheerleaders are the socialites who make the world exciting and fun. Without them, life would be boring. We need them, and they want all of us to be open to them and to be their friends. They are very colorful and expressive and, very open in their communications. We’re different! Appreciate your temperament. You are VERY important! Expect miracles.

Download or read book Managing Your Professional Identity Online written by Kathryn E. Linder and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In higher education, professional online identities have become increasingly important. A rightly worded tweet can cause an academic blog post to go viral. A wrongly worded tweet can get a professor fired. Regular news items in The Chronicle of Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed provide evidence that reputations are both built and crushed via online platforms. Ironically, given the importance of digital identities to job searches, the promotion and distribution of scholarly work, pedagogical innovation, and many other components of an academic life, higher education professionals receive little to no training about how to best represent themselves in a digital space.Managing Your Professional Identity Online: A Guide for Higher Education fills this gap by offering higher education professionals the information and guidance they need to:- craft strong online biographical statements for a range of platforms;- prioritize where and how they want to represent themselves online in a professional capacity;- intentionally and purposefully create an effective brand for their professional identity online;- develop online profiles that are consistent, professional, accurate, organized, of good quality, and representative of their academic lives;- regularly update and maintain an online presence;- post appropriately in a range of online platforms and environments; and- successfully promote their professional accomplishments.Managing Your Professional Identity Online is practical and action-oriented. In addition to offering a range of case studies demonstrating concrete examples of effective practices, the book is built around activities, templates, worksheets, rubrics, and bonus materials that walk readers through a step-by-step guide of how to design, build, and maintain professional online identities.

Download or read book Genuine Pretending written by Hans-Georg Moeller and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genuine Pretending is an innovative and comprehensive new reading of the Zhuangzi that highlights the critical and therapeutic functions of satire and humor. Hans-Georg Moeller and Paul J. D’Ambrosio show how this Daoist classic, contrary to contemporary philosophical readings, distances itself from the pursuit of authenticity and subverts the dominant Confucianism of its time through satirical allegories and ironical reflections. With humor and parody, the Zhuangzi exposes the Confucian demand to commit to socially constructed norms as pretense and hypocrisy. The Confucian pursuit of sincerity establishes exemplary models that one is supposed to emulate. In contrast, the Zhuangzi parodies such venerated representations of wisdom and deconstructs the very notion of sagehood. Instead, it urges a playful, skillful, and unattached engagement with socially mandated duties and obligations. The Zhuangzi expounds the Daoist art of what Moeller and D’Ambrosio call “genuine pretending”: the paradoxical skill of not only surviving but thriving by enacting social roles without being tricked into submitting to them or letting them define one’s identity. A provocative rereading of a Chinese philosophical classic, Genuine Pretending also suggests the value of a Daoist outlook today as a way of seeking existential sanity in an age of mass media’s paradoxical quest for originality.

This book was released on 2009-09-29 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digitising personal information is changing our ways of identifying persons and managing relations. What used to be a "natural" identity, is now as virtual as a user account at a web portal, an email address, or a mobile phone number. It is subject to diverse forms of identity management in business, administration, and among citizens. Core question and source of conflict is who owns how much identity information of whom and who needs to place trust into which identity information to allow access to resources. This book presents multidisciplinary answers from research, government, and industry. Research from states with different cultures on the identification of citizens and ID cards is combined towards analysis of HighTechIDs and Virtual Identities, considering privacy, mobility, profiling, forensics, and identity related crime. "FIDIS has put Europe on the global map as a place for high quality identity management research." –V. Reding, Commissioner, Responsible for Information Society and Media (EU)
