Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Author writes, "I see myself as a scientist who has discovered some very important factors in the development of individuals and civilizations; and my theory is an explanation of both what makes people highly creative and what makes societies grow, prosper, and decline." The author encapsulates his theory with the acronym GAM/DP. GAM -- Individual: Three factors contribute to the development of personality and creativity of the individual. Good genetic endowment (G) e.g., intelligence, temperaments, specific talents, and by valid assistances (A) e.g., from parents, schools, books when combined with major misfortunes (M) of youth e.g., early parental death, physical infirmity, stimulates a personality which conflicts with society, providing in that tension material for creativity. DP -- Society: A society is creative where it develops within long periods when power is fought or grudgingly shared. Such division of power (DP) e.g. between emperor and pope, between state and church; between two or more major ideologies, fosters critical thinking. People begin to mistrust the power holder. They have the courage to speak their mind, to be creative on matters that are not those wanted by the power holder. This important, revolutionary theory combines for the first time these two aspects of personality and creativity ¿ those particular to a given number of a social group (GAM), as well as those unique to that society (DP). In this volume VI, Therivel has researched extensively on Tagore¿s High GxAxMXDP, the high creativity of Rabbinic Judaism and its Talmud, and Nine Eminent Women. This theory applies equally to Eastern and Western creators, Eastern and Western civilization, and women.

Download or read book High Creativity Unmasked written by William A. Therivel and published by Kirk House Pub. This book was released on 2010 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creativity has been a driving force in the development of civilizations and in raising individuals to fame and/or fortune. What makes one person creative and one society achieve great stature and influence? Unmasking that high creativity is the task of this book. The author looks beneath the surface for the roots of creativity and solves some of the fascinating enigmas.The author¿s GAM/DP theory of personality and creativity is outlined in the first two chapters. The first (GAM) illustrates the three factors -- Genetic Endowment, Assistances and Misfortunes ¿ which contribute to the personality and creativity of the individual. The second (DP) on Division of Power in a society identifies the author¿s theory behind societal development. The GAM/DP theory also explains, and can readily predict, why great creators are either foxes (people who know many things) or hedgehogs (people who focus on one big idea), in Isaiah Berlin's famous classification of all writers and thinkers. The reader will find interesting the authors application of his theory to two great foxes, Italo Calvino and Goethe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's world is changing at breakneck speed, shaking the very foundations of many societies. Increased mobility through massive urbanization and migration allows people unprecedented access to different cultures and ideas; advanced technologies speed the pace of human interaction; the globalization of communication offers new forms of social relationships that may directly contradict traditional norms for behavior. These changes create tremendous stresses on relationships in societies - affecting the way youth interact with their elders, the way women and men relate to each other, how urban migrants and refugees relate to their new environments, and so on. The impacts of these changes are felt acutely in 'fragile' situations, where groups and institutions struggle to adapt to the stresses of rapid social change. In the worst cases, where fragility has given way to open violence - people are more than twice as likely to be malnourished, more than three times as likely to be unable to send their children to school, twice as likely to see their children die before age five, and more than twice as likely to lack clean water. In addition to these domestic challenges, the costs of fragility often spill over to neighboring regions in the form of trafficking in illegal goods and persons, corruption, and violence. 'Societal Dynamics and Fragility' frames a fresh approach to these challenges, by focusing on improving relationships across groups and institutions in society. Drawing on case studies from Yemen, Central African Republic, Haiti, Liberia and Aceh (Indonesia), the book provides a framework for understanding and healing the social divides that often get in the way of building capable institutions and exiting from fragility.
