The speaker discusses sociological interpretations of selected Chinese and American modern and contemporary artworks and their implications for individuals and society. Specifically, the speaker analyzes how art can symbolize trauma experienced by societies and individuals, such as from overbearing leadership or consumerism. The speaker also examines how art may depict attempts to recover from trauma through reintegration of identity or differentiation from false ideals. Ultimately, the speaker suggests art provides an opportunity to consider spiritual links between the self, society, and systems like finance.
Why life today is based on an Illusion - How to see true RealityRobert Paterson
We know today that it is an illusion that the sun moves around the Earth. Newton's view of how objects relate has helped us see a new reality. But so long as we stay in this view of objects, we cannot see the true reality - that we are all deeply connected and influence each other all the time. Here are a few slides that helped me SEE the true reality. In so doing, the complex problems that confront us can be understood
The document discusses Generation Y (Gen Y), born between 1980-1994. Gen Y values making a difference in the world and sees work as a way to fulfill their potential. They are most influenced by their peers and popular culture like music/TV. To manage Gen Y, employers should listen to them, provide feedback, encourage problem solving, make their work meaningful, and not reject them as difficult to manage. The document also proposes a project using the internet to bridge experiences between Gen Y and older generations.
The document discusses the importance of being fearless in creating change. It advocates for experimenting early and often to continually innovate and respond to new challenges. Examples are provided of companies like Apple and Southwest Airlines that successfully experiment with new approaches rather than resting on past successes. The document promotes developing minimum viable products and gathering early feedback to incorporate lessons learned quickly.
The new leadership paradigm Richard Barrett and Ashley MundayBarrett Academy
The document discusses the need for a new leadership paradigm to address global challenges. It argues that the current paradigm of separating the world into public, private and social sectors creates barriers and that leaders need to work together across these sectors. The new paradigm requires a shift from self-interest to the common good and being the best for the world, not just the best in the world. It also discusses how evolution can teach three universal principles and five strategies relevant to this new leadership paradigm.
This document discusses millennial trends and characteristics based on research studies. It defines millennials as those born between 1980-2000 and outlines some of their key attributes:
- Millennials are highly connected digitally and spend many hours online. They are concerned with social and economic issues.
- They are team-oriented, seeking peer approval over individualism. Millennials also value achievement and were raised with structured schedules.
- The document examines millennials' traits like being special, sheltered, confident, and pressured to succeed. It provides examples of millennial behaviors and perspectives.
1) The document discusses the importance of tribes and leadership. Tribes need leadership to connect people to an idea and each other. Leaders are needed to create change and move tribes in new directions.
2) It emphasizes that leading a tribe requires challenging the status quo and creating discomfort. True leaders initiate change even when it's difficult and push their organizations in new ways.
3) Leading a tribe involves tightening connections between members, communicating a shared passion, and empowering the tribe to spread ideas on their own. Great leaders create movements by enabling peer-to-peer communication within the tribe.
This document discusses representations of youth identity in media. It begins by asking the reader to consider examples of media that represent or are identified with youth from the past five years. It then presents two quotes about youth from different eras to show that concerns about youth behavior are not new. The document outlines five structuring points for examining how media represents youth and how youth use media to form collective identities. It discusses the role of outsiders like media and adults in constructing identities for youth groups and how youth must accept these identities. The document analyzes factors like subculture representation and alienation that are common in media portrayals of youth.

Organizing Genius: The Secrets of Creative Collaboration

INTRODUCTION
This book was born forty years ago, in a conversation with Margaret Mead. Mead was already
world renowned, as famous for her social activism as for her cultural anthropology. I was a
newly minted assistant professor of economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. One
snowy night in Cambridge, I went to hear Mead lecture at Harvard. Afterward, I introduce ...
This document provides an ethics module on the relationship between globalization, religion, and ethics. It discusses key concepts like moral pluralism and challenges of different generations. It examines characteristics of Millennials and Generation Z. It also discusses the role of virtues and vices, and reasons for educating in virtue. The document is an ethics lesson that aims to help learners recognize the role of religion in globalization, identify ethical challenges of pluralism, and understand the importance of cultivating virtues.
This document discusses traits of Millennials based on research from various sources. It notes that Millennials grew up with technology and are always connected. They are a large generation, representing over 20% of the US population. Millennials are influenced by economic conditions, societal norms, and political events during their formative years. They are described as confident, open to diversity, and seeking meaningful experiences over material goods. The document provides various observations and statistics about Millennials and their relationship with technology, media, religion, and other generational influences.
The document discusses the concept of social mobility and how it relates to Jane Austen's works and The Great Gatsby. In Austen's novels, social mobility was limited as class boundaries were strict, though she supported new sources of wealth that allowed for some upward movement. The Great Gatsby also explores social mobility through the character of Jay Gatsby, who was born into poverty but pursued wealth and moved into a higher class through his career. Both works examine the rigid social structures of their time periods and the opportunities or barriers to changing social class through mobility.
Culture is increasingly an important element in the tourism workplaces in which it creates distinctiveness and authenticity of diversity and cultural differences does not matters. In this lesson, you will learn about the culture and its impact in the multicultural diversity in workplaces of tourism sectors.

The fear that you’re missing out—that your peers are doing, in the know about or in possession of more or something better than you—may be a social angst that’s always existed, but it’s going into overdrive thanks to real-time digital updates and to our constant companion, the smartphone.
This presentation is a companion to our trend report that explores the FOMO phenomenon, identifying which cohort is most prone to FOMO and how they respond to it, spotlighting how FOMO is manifesting in the zeitgeist, and looking at the wide-ranging potential for brands seeking to tap into FOMO.
In addition to desk research, we interviewed experts and influencers in technology and academia, and conducted a quantitative survey in the U.S. and the U.K. The survey used SONAR™, JWT’s proprietary online tool, to poll 1,024 adults aged 18-plus and 87 teens aged 13-17 from March 4-15, 2011.
The document discusses research conducted on the "Hard-Working-Class", a group of American mothers with household incomes between $30,000-$50,000.
1) This group sees themselves as a new social class defined by their strong work ethic rather than traditional class labels.
2) They live paycheck to paycheck and are constantly balancing priorities due to financial constraints. Unexpected expenses often require borrowing or cutting back severely.
3) If the economy improved, these mothers would prioritize vacations, extra groceries, and dining out - activities they currently sacrifice due to limited budgets.
This document discusses how networked nonprofits can transform communities through social media. It defines a networked nonprofit as one that works collaboratively through open information sharing rather than operating independently. It emphasizes developing a social culture where social media is a cultural norm, transparency by sharing information openly, and simplicity through leveraging networks to accomplish more with less. The document provides examples of how some nonprofits have successfully adopted these principles and cautions against potential challenges in making the transition to becoming a networked nonprofit.

Millennials Are Defining the Workplace
Posted: 08/26/2014 6:03 pm EDT Updated: 08/26/2014 6:59 pm EDT
Millennials lead the pack when it comes to digital influence.
And understandably so. After all, now in their 20s and 30s, these adults have grown up in the
digital era. It comes naturally to them. It is part of their every day. It defines them and they, in
turn, have significant influence on those around them, whether from home, the workplace or the
treadmill.
Social media, of course, are the favored form of communications. With smartphones, tablets and
other digital devices, each tap matters greatly as they share thoughts and concerns or read what
friends and others have to say.
Pew Research calls Millennials "digital natives." In its 2014 report, "Millennials in Adulthood,"
Pew points out that they are:
"the only generation for which these new technologies are not something they've had to adapt to.
Not surprisingly, they are the most avid users.
"They have taken the lead in seizing on the new platforms of the digital era - the internet, mobile
technology, social media - to construct personalized networks of friends, colleagues and affinity
groups."
In what may seem as no more than the blink of an eye, these Millennials are fast becoming the
largest group of employees at companies large and small. Neither idle nor quiet, many of them
are making their mark.
Fast moving through the ranks and exerting greater influence in the workplace, they are now
forcing changes in how to motivate and engage with employees. And you can count on that
continuing for a long, long time.
Ron Alsop, journalist, author and former Wall Street Journal editor, set the tone for how the
Millennials would eventually dominate the workforce in his ground-breaking 2008 book: "The
Trophy Kids Grow Up: How the Millennial Generation Is Shaking Up The Workplace."
Mr. Alsop saw early on that the Millennials would bring a set of values and priorities that
differed significantly from the generations that came before them: Gen X and Baby Boomers.
With the Millennials, he wrote, "employers are facing some of the biggest management
challenges they've ever encountered." http://www.thetrophykids.com
While the earliest assessments of Millennials tended to be very skeptical of this group - quick to
call them coddled and focused on themselves - we now have better insights and see this
generation as having very different expectations of employers than did their predecessors.
Among Millennials, loyalty is hard won, independent thinking is prized, questioning is the norm
and proof is what they are looking for.
Pew adds another very important distinction: Millennials, the research says, are "unmoored from
institutions," or unattached from organizations that have been so important to earlier generations.
This applies to religion, social groups, corporations and politics. Adding to their sense of not
belonging, t ...

The Influentials: Missed Opportunity or Marketing Genius?Joseph LaMountain
Influentials are the 10 percent of the population who tell the other 90 percent what to do — what brand of toothpaste to buy, what diet to try, what new diagnostic test or drug to ask their doctor about. And yet, influentials are not necessarily the academic, business or association VIPs. Influentials are often the "go-to" people on the community board, the organizer of a letter-writing campaign or the president of the PTA. In this presentation, you'll learn the impact of these influentials on health care legislation at the state and federal level. You'll also learn how to recruit these movers and shakers and put them to work to sway public opinion, or generate results in fund-raising, advocacy and issue awareness.
This document discusses the impact of technology on society and education. It notes that technology is changing rapidly, with things like cell phones and social media reaching mass audiences much faster than previous technologies. It also discusses how technology is creating new forms of literacy and how education needs to adapt to better incorporate technology and teach skills like creativity, collaboration and problem solving. The document advocates for embracing technology in education and allowing students to be creative producers, not just consumers, of information.
Brian Solis discusses the impact of social media on business and customers. He notes that social media allows for direct connections but many companies still treat it like traditional media instead of focusing on social interactions. Solis emphasizes the importance of understanding customer experiences and behaviors in order to design meaningful social media strategies. Companies must engage authentically and with empathy in order to build trust with connected customers who now help co-create brands.
Group 8 coaching and mentoring of millennials pmsSwatah Borkotoky
This document provides an overview of coaching and mentoring for Generation Y (Millennials). It begins by defining different generations from a historical perspective. It then focuses on Generation Y, born between the 1980s-1990s. Generation Y is characterized as being tech savvy, family-oriented, ambitious, preferring teamwork, quick communication styles, and wanting recognition. The document discusses coaching and mentoring strategies for Generation Y, including reverse mentoring, group mentoring, anonymous mentoring, and situational mentoring. It provides examples of how Lafarge India implements coaching and mentoring programs. It concludes that customized coaching and mentoring approaches are needed to engage Generation Y in the workplace.
Brad Benner argues that America's problems stem from a lack of common sense and moral character among its leaders. He asserts that political leaders blame others instead of taking responsibility, and corporate and religious leaders prioritize personal gain over serving communities. Benner claims America is experiencing a "morale decay" similar to the fall of ancient empires, and that finding truth and exercising moral fortitude can help address the country's challenges in a way that benefits all.

It provides examples of how Lafarge India implements coaching and mentoring programs. It concludes that customized coaching and mentoring approaches are needed to engage Generation Y in the workplace.
Brad Benner argues that America's problems stem from a lack of common sense and moral character among its leaders. He asserts that political leaders blame others instead of taking responsibility, and corporate and religious leaders prioritize personal gain over serving communities. Benner claims America is experiencing a "morale decay" similar to the fall of ancient empires, and that finding truth and exercising moral fortitude can help address the country's challenges in a way that benefits all.
Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey ...SirmaDuztepeliler
"Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey Toward Sustainability"
The booklet of my master’s thesis at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. (Gothenburg, Sweden)
This thesis explores the transformation of the vacated (2023) IKEA store in Kållered, Sweden, into a "Reuse Hub" addressing various user types. The project aims to create a model for circular and sustainable economic practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, and a shift in societal overconsumption patterns.
Reuse, though crucial in the circular economy, is one of the least studied areas. Most materials with reuse potential, especially in the construction sector, are recycled (downcycled), causing a greater loss of resources and energy. My project addresses barriers to reuse, such as difficult access to materials, storage, and logistics issues.
Aims:
• Enhancing Access to Reclaimed Materials: Creating a hub for reclaimed construction materials for both institutional and individual needs.
• Promoting Circular Economy: Showcasing the potential and variety of reusable materials and how they can drive a circular economy.
• Fostering Community Engagement: Developing spaces for social interaction around reuse-focused stores and workshops.
• Raising Awareness: Transforming a former consumerist symbol into a center for circular practices.
Highlights:
• The project emphasizes cross-sector collaboration with producers and wholesalers to repurpose surplus materials before they enter the recycling phase.
• This project can serve as a prototype for reusing many idle commercial buildings in different scales and sizes.
• The findings indicate that transforming large vacant properties can support sustainable practices and present an economically attractive business model with high social returns at the same time.
• It highlights the potential of how sustainable practices in the construction sector can drive societal change.

4. Culture Map
Dr Brian Hall - Values Technology
This is a map of a major trend in how culture is evolving - there is a revolution underway. The web is enabling a major shift from
a culture of belonging, of fitting in and of seeking external signs of success to a culture of self expression, of participation and of seeking
internal signs of worth.
This is the context for Public Media in the next 25 years.

6. Phase 1 - Surviving - Safety & Security
Phase 1 (The world is a mystery over which I have no control) is called
Surviving and has two sequential parts Safety and Security.
We live in this world as a small child. Safety and Security are provided
externally. We have no power of our own here. But here also we find wonder and
awe. To move on we need to have these basic needs met.
If you don't, then the chances are that you may be stuck here. You look like an
adult but your needs are here. You will always feel that you are not loved enough
or safe enough. You do not trust others or yourself.
The test? When someone you know is all about ME! When it is all someone
else’s fault. When people are helpless and angry.
People stuck in Phase I are not people that you want on your team, in your
department and certainly not as your leader unless you are in extreme crisis and
need a tyrant. Many traditional organizations that are under siege are moving
here.
There are two types of leadership style here. Tyrants (Stalin) are defined here as

7. Phase II - Belonging - Family &
Institution
Phase II (The world is a problem with which I must cope) is called
Belonging and has 2 sequential parts - Family and Institution. This is where
most of us live today.
In its proper form, it is the world of a “teenager”. You profess to be an individual
but fitting in is the most important thing. Most adults who have not found their
own identity get stuck here.
Tribes and Nationalism grew from this. Corporate life is its most highly
developed form.
Social affirmation, management, competence, duty obligation are all key values.
Without a core here, any organization would not be competent.
But if the leadership is all here in this values set, then the purpose of the
organization becomes control itself as an end. This is the essence of
bureaucracy. This is where most organizations trend to as they mature.
Efficiency and especially loyalty trump everything. “Brownie - you are doing a

8. B. Phase III -Self Initiating - Vocation &
New Order
Leadership in Phase III
Real Adulthood - Here we begin the great shift that helps us to become fully human - here
we become our true self and in the end - here we connect with all and to everything.
The challenge is that we have to cross a divide from phase II to get to phase III. Many fear
the loss of identity involved from going from extrinsic to intrinsic. Many just cannot make
this shift. This cultural barrier then is the new competitive arena today.
Leadership in Phase III is all about setting up the ideal environment for the growth of the
people. It is creating Trusted Space. It is in creating the conditions where the full energy of
the individual and the network is unleashed.
This leadership style is quiet and even humble. The leader knows the why and seeks the
how.
One of the tests of such a person is that they at least acknowledge their own limits and
then celebrate them. A phase II person hides these and talks only of their successes.
Who is here now?

9. A. Phase III -Is a “New World”
Phase III (The world is a creative project in which I want to participate) is called
Self Initiating. It has two parts as well. Vocation and New Order.
You can see that phases I and II are on a linear progression. Phase III is a bifurcation in
development. Here the world is turned upside down. In phases I and II everything is
extrinsic. In phase III everything becomes intrinsic.
Here participation is central to being me. This applies to learning, to my health, to my
work and to my leisure.
In the past there were very few people in this group. Now, higher living standards, have
pushed an early group into this sector. This is where the back to the landers came from.
This is where many of the geek community is. But now a trickle is becoming a tidal wave.
What is driving this? It is the social web. The social web is the key to the Self Initiating
world. It is a “New World’ - just as America was a New World for Europeans in the 19th
century. It is being born of the web.
It is a new world that gives the individual their voice back. This is the essence of

10. Phase IV - The world is a mystery for
which we care for on a global scale -
Wisdom & World Order
Phase IV (The world is a mystery for which we care on a global scale) Has two parts
- Wisdom and World Order.
This is the age of wisdom - The True Elder. This is the supreme leadership pinnacle. It is is
seen today only in the lives of a few. In tribal society, it may have been the norm for the
Elders.
Their children are all people. Their land - all land. They transcend differences. They
include all. Few people ever reach reach this but when they do, they create an energy that
pulls us from the future - this is the most aspirational power that we know. The life of Christ
versus the Church. Buddha versus Buddhism. Jeffersonian Democracy versus our current
reality. Havel versus the Soviet Union. These people take on the most powerful forces and
win by moral authority. Only moral authority has the power to take on the the Corporate
State.
Here the leader is the Servant - interdependent administrator with collegial participation
and Visionary - Liberator with a global network of visionaries.
They create a deeper kind of Mission such as the Sermon on the Mount, The Declaration
Who is here now? of Independence, the Gettysberg Address and my favorite, Lincoln’s 2nd Inaugural

23. Trusted Space
In the new model, it’s all about the value and the trust found inside the ‘container’ or in the ‘trusted
space’ in which the ‘member’ now lives.
The member is both a provider and a supplier. Your job is to act as Host. You create the safe ecology
in which the member can become more human.
The business imperative is to attract and hold the ‘Member’ for as long as possible inside the
container. The more time they spend there the better.
They are attracted and they stay inside the container because of the value or the experience that they
have inside.
Members provide most of the human and the intellectual capital for the enterprise.
Trust is therefore the critical factor. The new model is not about product. eBay had a poor website,
Skype did not win by having a good tool. No one part of Google is the only attractor.
Your success will not be about the tool but about the experience that draws the customer inside your
container.

24. God or Nature?
If you attempt to control everything you loose control, if you stand above the system amplifying good patterns
and disrupting bad ones, if you influence evolution rather than trying to design against idealistic outcomes;
then, and only then do you achieve what control is possible.
Its all about doing more with significantly less. Dave Snowden
It is essential for the mainstream media to understand that the larger information ecosystem is one that grows
wild on the Net and supports everybody who wants to inform anybody else. It no longer grows inside the
mainstream media's walled gardens. Those gardens will continue to thrive only to the degree that they do two
things: 1) open up; and 2) live symbiotically with individuals outside who want to work together for common
purposes.
As I've said before (and I said it again at the conference), we don't just "deliver information" like it's a Fedex
package. We inform each other. That is, we literally form what other people know. If you tell me something I
didn't know before, I'm changed by that. I am not merely in receipt of a box of facts. I am enlarged by knowing
more than I did before. Enlarging each other is the deepest calling of journalism, whether it's done by bloggers,
anchors or editors.
