This book was released on 2001-09-20 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Dream Society . . . provides dramatic insights into how marketing will operate in the 21st century."Atlanta Business Chronicle A fascinating look into the future of business, as featured in Fast Company The future is uncertainthe world is constantly changing. While anything can happen, some things are far more likely than others. Rolf Jensen, internationally renowned futurist, provides readers with a tangible look at what the future will be like over the next 25 years. By identifying what lies ahead, Jensen gives people the knowledge they need to make informed decisions and strategically align themselves to capitalize on the unknown future, a future Jensen calls "the Dream Society." This dream society is characterized by the commercialization of emotions. In this provocative exploration, Jensen says that it will no longer be enough to produce a useful product. He shows that, for a product to be successful, its primary purpose will be the ability to fulfill an emotional need. Those who understand the workings of this dream society will be the ones who create the new products, new markets, and new businesses that dominate the world of tomorrow.

Download or read book Dream Hoarders written by Richard V. Reeves and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dream Hoarders sparked a national conversation on the dangerous separation between the upper middle class and everyone else. Now in paperback and newly updated for the age of Trump, Brookings Institution senior fellow Richard Reeves is continuing to challenge the class system in America. In America, everyone knows that the top 1 percent are the villains. The rest of us, the 99 percent—we are the good guys. Not so, argues Reeves. The real class divide is not between the upper class and the upper middle class: it is between the upper middle class and everyone else. The separation of the upper middle class from everyone else is both economic and social, and the practice of “opportunity hoarding”—gaining exclusive access to scarce resources—is especially prevalent among parents who want to perpetuate privilege to the benefit of their children. While many families believe this is just good parenting, it is actually hurting others by reducing their chances of securing these opportunities. There is a glass floor created for each affluent child helped by his or her wealthy, stable family. That glass floor is a glass ceiling for another child. Throughout Dream Hoarders, Reeves explores the creation and perpetuation of opportunity hoarding, and what should be done to stop it, including controversial solutions such as ending legacy admissions to school. He offers specific steps toward reducing inequality and asks the upper middle class to pay for it. Convinced of their merit, members of the upper middle class believes they are entitled to those tax breaks and hoarded opportunities. After all, they aren't the 1 percent. The national obsession with the super rich allows the upper middle class to convince themselves that they are just like the rest of America. In Dream Hoarders, Reeves argues that in many ways, they are worse, and that changes in policy and social conscience are the only way to fix the broken system.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.

Book excerpt: "In the main, the method of the book is the method that has been called that of the "participant observer." The book should be used by the student, therefore, as a sort of laboratory manual, its generalizations to be tested so far as possible by the observation of social groups with which the student has had experience. Illustrative material will also be found, however, in written history, in anthropological books, and in works in sociology, especially in my elementary text, Sociology and Modern Social Problems. Such qualitative analysis of the determinants in group behavior is necessary before quantitative analysis can be fruitfully undertaken"--Préface.

Download or read book The Human Society written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Leonard Matcas. This book was released on 1901 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the human society fair and fulfilling, as you learn in school, or it is harmful, with corrupt politicians, financial cartels, and major conspiracies spanning the world as you always notice? Both are the case, yet the human society improves gradually, despite of all corruption in the news, only that the media tends to highlight politicians in order to capture the masses, or you never watch the news. Because it is always a show, even in the news, while everybody is happy. But is society actually corrupt and harmful? The human society has always been exploitive, yet people tend to interact in any manner in the world, more or less humane, while it is meaningful to distinguish your own influence, exactly as it is. Would you like to learn the truth about the human society? Then study yourself and those around very well, since society is the direct interconnectivity of all human beings, with you in it. Therefore, you are the one defining society directly, at least in everything regarding you, and this is the case with everyone else. While everybody is relatively good intentioned in society, since we are very similar through our human nature and through all natural, living needs and meanings that we fulfill. Because humanity is never divided into the good and the bad, since everybody is good by having similar natural needs and meanings, only that people can become more exploitive while fulfilling consensual needs, as these make them be whatever their superiors, jurisdictions, and ideologies desire, stepping in this manner outside the actual human nature. And this is bad, since this is exactly how humans become unhuman, with all dreadful consequences manifesting in the world. Because humans fulfill mostly consensual needs, as orders and duties coming from above, but not their own, human needs, as everyone should. While this ends up defining the human society the most, changing it altogether into a social machine meant for profit and exploitation, and it should never be the case in a human world. Because there are two human societies to consider, the natural, intelligent human society that everyone seeks to have and maintain through their own living, natural needs and feelings, and the consensual society actually instated in the world, regardless if you want it or not. Throughout this book, we study how life and living human beings gather naturally to form classes of life and living societies meant to make life better, safer, meaningful, and therefore fulfilling. We also understand the current human society in its consensual structure and characteristics, in all aspects and from all perspectives. Furthermore, we identify and understand the various modes of society that life and the environment may demand, as we recognize what is meaningful among orders, agendas, and conspiracies already implemented or threatening to take place in the world, who the main social actors are, and how determined they remain in everything that they do in the human society. This helps you understand your own meaning in life, in society, and in the world, while understanding how your meaning is enhanced or altered by your own behavior and interconnectivity in life and in the world. If you seek to uncover and understand the human society exactly as it is and as it should be, this book is for you.
