Download or read book Demography Analysis and Synthesis Four Volume Set written by Graziella Caselli and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2006-01-03 with total page 2857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This four-volume collection of over 140 original chapters covers virtually everything of interest to demographers, sociologists, and others. Over 100 authors present population subjects in ways that provoke thinking and lead to the creation of new perspectives, not just facts and equations to be memorized. The articles follow a theory-methods-applications approach and so offer a kind of "one-stop shop" that is well suited for students and professors who need non-technical summaries, such as political scientists, public affairs specialists, and others. Unlike shorter handbooks, Demography: Analysis and Synthesis offers a long overdue, thorough treatment of the field. Choosing the analytical method that fits the data and the situation requires insights that the authors and editors of Demography: Analysis and Synthesis have explored and developed. This extended examination of demographic tools not only seeks to explain the analytical tools themselves, but also the relationships between general population dynamics and their natural, economic, social, political, and cultural environments. Limiting themselves to human populations only, the authors and editors cover subjects that range from the core building blocks of population change--fertility, mortality, and migration--to the consequences of demographic changes in the biological and health fields, population theories and doctrines, observation systems, and the teaching of demography. The international perspectives brought to these subjects is vital for those who want an unbiased, rounded overview of these complex, multifaceted subjects. Topics to be covered: * Population Dynamics and the Relationship Between Population Growth and Structure * The Determinants of Fertility * The Determinants of Mortality * The Determinants of Migration * Historical and Geographical Determinants of Population * The Effects of Population on Health, Economics, Culture, and the Environment * Population Policies * Data Collection Methods and Teaching about Population Studies * All chapters share a common format * Each chapter features several cross-references to other chapters * Tables, charts, and other non-text features are widespread * Each chapter contains at least 30 bibliographic citations
Download or read book Social Constructivism as Paradigm written by Michaela Pfadenhauer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social constructivism is one of the most prominent theoretical approaches in the social sciences. This volume celebrates the 50th anniversary of its first formulation in Peter Berger and Luckmann’s classic foundational text, The Social Construction of Reality. Addressing the work’s contribution to establishing social constructivism as a paradigm and discussing its potential for current questions in social theory, the contributing authors indicate the various cultural understandings and theoretical formulations that exist of social construction, its different fields of research and the promising new directions for future research that it presents in its most recent developments. A study of the importance of a work that established a paradigm in the international sociology of knowledge, this book will appeal to scholars of sociology with interests in social theory, the history of the social sciences and the significance of social constructivism.
Download or read book Models of Social Intervention and Constructionism written by Laura Karina Castro Saucedo and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-08-25 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a new, critical, and multidisciplinary look at experiences and meanings of social intervention in different social contexts, taking the approaches of social constructionism as a theoretical approach. The volume collects the results of theoretical-practical experiences that social science professionals with critical and constructionist visions linked to social work intervention have carried out in different spaces. It considers the way social work intervention models are built, their foundation, and their application. It provides the findings on tested intervention models built according to the basis of social constructionism in specific social scenarios, providing interesting findings that show intervention alternatives beyond traditional approaches. The social intervention strategies discussed take place in diverse situations, including health recovery and reconstruction in breast cancer, family abandonment issues of institutionalized adolescents, institutional care of refugee families, women caregivers of children with disabilities, men who exercise violence, and more.
Download or read book Critical Interculturality and Horizontal Methodologies in Latin America written by Sarah Corona Berkin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this edifying volume Sarah Corona and Claudia Zapata extrapolate the causes for the divisions between groups in Latin American society, bringing their years of experience investigating the conditions and consequences of heterogeneity in the region. First, Corona approaches the problem of difference and heterogeneity epistemologically, asking about the possible benefits of horizontal modes of knowledge production between academics and the "social other." She demands reification for those without access to institutions who experience social ills and theorizes a trans-disciplinary dialogue to discover a horizontal construction of knowledge. Zapata evaluates and questions whether indigenous people throughout the continent have had their quality of life improved by the recognition of their collective rights as peoples. These two works provide overviews of a Latin American multiculturalism that connects to parallel movements in North America and Europe. Combined they offer a guide that could be vital to future activism and social work whether in the classroom or on the streets. Critical Interculturality and Horizontal Methodology in Latin America will appeal to scholars and students who are in need of new ways to comprehend the current strain of multiculturalism and plurality. It offers reflections on how social research can be not only sensitive to the epistemologies and interests of the "cultural other," but approach parity and horizontality in dialogue.
Download or read book Multiple Experiences of Modernity written by Oliver Kozlarek and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary theories of modernity recognize the plurality or "multiplicity" of modernities. Often the differences are seen as institutional or cultural differences. Although this sort of research is important it cannot be ignored that it does not provide a clear understanding of the "human consequences". The tradition that today is known under the name of Critical Theory, on the contrary, has been interested always first of all in the human consequences. This book wants to follow this ambition. The question it tries to search answers for is: what are the experiences that human beings are making in and within global modernity? Another question is important: what are the affinities and what are the differences. Also Critical Theory was mainly interested in the Western experiences with and within global modernity. The book will challenge this limited view by looking how modernities is experienced in other parts of the world.

Download or read book Latin American Perspectives on Global Development written by Samuel Ernest Harrington and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although as a vast subcontinent, Latin America reflects diverse perspectives of life, senses of identity, cultural and spiritual outlooks, its constituting countries share a specific history of resistance against the prevalent patterns of global development. However, Latin America presents newer accounts of development understood as genuine views on human well-being derived from a sense of its own specific identity. In an emerging renaissance emphasizing human flourishing as the ultimate goal, Latin America is shifting gears towards an ethical perspective on global development. Distinct here is an emphasis on philosophy, theology, literature, arts, music, and cinema as fertile terrains depicting how the subcontinent must draw its own unique picture of development. Today, it is undergoing a diverse cultural, philosophical and spiritual growth, and holds exciting potential to be aligned with, and contribute to, the contemporary debates around the ethics of global development. This book discusses Latin American perspectives against the backdrop of the mainstream view of development, which portrays economic growth as development. It also looks at historical context, cultural diversity, cultural richness and the complex philosophy of life in the Latin American perspective to address the subcontinent’s deep cultural heritage, the depiction of its identity, and its philosophy of life. Additionally, this book discusses how the causes of inequality and malaises such as social crime can be eliminated, and more importantly, how the prosperity and economic, social, and human development of the subcontinent (and the world in general) may be improved.

Download or read book Being Human written by P.A. Abdo and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being Human is more than a book; it is an answer to the great question of what makes us human being. Demonstrates how the laws of Nature manage the functioning of the entire body and how diet, feelings, and even human emotions are also governed by these laws. It explains how human behavior is governed by universal laws that are immutable and eternal and how if the persons fails to obey this laws, will be destroyed. The author explains with crystal clear the origin of human problems such as hate, resentment, obesity, depression, anxiety, stress and others that are governed by the laws and how to handle them. Upon reading Being Human, you will have knowledge that will significantly improve your quality of life, well-being and inner peace. Over 400 years ago Descartes said the highest degree of wisdom is the knowledge of all the laws of Nature. The author amplifies this concept affirming that the purpose of human life is to live in harmony with the laws of Nature. The author considers that all activities of a human being in her life have the purpose of her survival, comfort, altruism and longevity. This book is the doorway to the answers the reader has been awaiting.
Download or read book Tratado de metodolog a de las ciencias sociales written by Narciso Pizarro and published by Siglo XXI Ediciones. This book was released on 1998 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Tratado de metodología de las Ciencias Sociales de Narciso Pizarro ofrece una visión coherente del campo de las ciencias sociales contemporáneas, cuya división en disciplinas, especialidades y subespecialidades hace difícil al estudioso de cualquiera de ellas el entender las conexiones existentes entre todas. Porque la lógica propia del desarrollo de las ciencias sociales en el mundo académico impulsa diferencias terminológicas que ocultan la homogeneidad conceptual, pero que sirven para establecer las lindes de cotos privados del saber. Sobrepasar esas diferencias implica analizar los conceptos fundamentales de las ciencias sociales, tanto desde el punto de vista de la coherencia o sistematicidad del conjunto como desde el de la evolución histórica de los esquemas conceptuales. Por ello, la exposición del conjunto es inseparable de una crítica -en el sentido epistemológico del término- de los fundamentos de cada una de las disciplinas, desarrollada a lo largo de veinticinco años de trabajo.
Download or read book Immigration crime link On falseness and inevitability written by Ana María López Narbona and published by Dykinson. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a key outcome of the book, a statistical analysis will be carried out to confirm social groups´ homogeneity and confrontation within the Spanish society. Data for the statistical analysis are taken from Survey number 2967 of 2012 of Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS). The statistical analysis is very important to understand how identity theories work in Spanish society. Indeed, social identities within the Spanish society are homogeneous, dialectical, and confrontational. Therefore, answers of respondents on immigration-crime link are necessarily homogeneous, dialectical and confrontational. Hence the paradox “on falseness and inevitability”.

Download or read book Metodolog a de las ciencias sociales written by Felix Kaufmann and published by Ediciones Olejnik. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "El plan de este trabajo obedece a la convicción de que muchas de las controversias metodológicas más violentas dentro del campo de las ciencias sociales han llegado ya a un período de madurez que aconseja la conveniencia de una decisión. Este plan es viejo pero su desarrollo requería preparativos muy cuidadosos sobre cuya índole ofrecen una indicación parcial las publicaciones que se citan al final. Lo que me ha movido, además de la necesidad de fundamentar aquella convicción, ha sido el fin didáctico de ofrecer a los investigadores sociales ocupados con los problemas más abstractos, y también a los estudiantes más adelantados, una visión de conjunto de la interconexión de los problemas teóricos de lo social con aquellas ciencias que, al parecer, se hallan muy lejos de la teoría pura y la teoría general del conocimiento, procurando, al mismo tiempo, desarraigar toda una serie de prejuicios que se oponen a la comprensión del verdadero sentido de la investigación científica de lo social y a su desarrollo sin trabas. Las razones que explican la estructura de esta obra se podrán encontrar en la introducción. En este lugar quiero tan sólo indicar que bien pudieran aumentar las aplicaciones que en la segunda parte se hacen a algunos problemas de la teoría social de los resultados generales de la teoría de la ciencia obtenidos en la primera parte —lo que espero que pronto ocurra gracias a la colaboración de un número mayor de investigadores— y que, por lo tanto, no he puesto demasiado empeño por lograr una correspondencia exacta y minuciosa de los análisis desarrollados en cada una de las partes. Seme-jante empeño hubiera perjudicado, al oscurecerlo, mi propósito principal: exposición de la problemática científico-teórica general". Felix Kaufmann.
