1) Across 12 societies, World War II was consistently ranked as the most important event in world history, followed by other 20th century events like 9/11 and industrialization.
2) Representations of history tended to be recent and Eurocentric, focusing on politics and war over other domains.
3) Some variation existed between societies, with certain countries emphasizing their own independence movements and leaders over global events. However, a shared narrative of recent world history was apparent.
The document analyzes comments on YouTube videos about controversial comments made by Paul Henry regarding Sheila Dikshit and Sir Anand Satyanand. The analysis found that comments supporting Paul Henry generally fell into several categories: arguing that people need to "harden up" and not be so offended; that Henry was just joking or saying what others were thinking; that it was just funny; or that he has freedom of speech. There was also some argument that it was equal discrimination or that viewers didn't have to watch if offended. Comments critical of Henry tended to argue that his comments promoted racism. The medium of YouTube and anonymity online also contributed to uncivil discourse.
Asian New Zealanders experience discrimination in various areas like public harassment and employment. They have higher unemployment rates compared to other ethnic groups. Those with foreign qualifications and ethnic names face greater challenges finding jobs. While discrimination does not always severely impact well-being, it can lead to poor health outcomes for migrants. The document discusses New Zealand's increasing ethnic diversity and approaches to promote social cohesion and reduce discrimination, including legislation, government initiatives, community capacity building, and improving intercultural competence.

This document summarizes research on identity and leadership among New Zealand Chinese youth. It discusses a leadership development conference organized by the New Zealand Chinese Association (NZCA) that aims to promote positive identity, integration, and leadership. Interviews with Chinese youth reveal themes of feeling most comfortable with other Chinese and having a sense of shared identity related to family, work ethic, and self-reliance. In terms of leadership, youth expressed influence, guidance, and building others up as important. The conference helps bridge Chinese and non-Chinese communities in New Zealand.
This document summarizes research on the integration and adaptation of immigrant youth in 13 nations. Over 8,000 adolescents from over 30 ethnic groups participated. Researchers examined how immigrant youth engage with both their ethnic and national cultures, their cultural identities and language proficiency, intercultural relationships, and levels of adaptation. Four common acculturation profiles were identified: integrated, national, ethnic, and diffuse. The integrated profile showed the strongest adaptation outcomes, while perceived discrimination was negatively associated with adaptation. Country-level factors like diversity policies also influenced these integration and adaptation processes.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.
PEPSICO Presentation to CAGNY Conference Feb 2024Neil Kimberley

How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews. The job search should involve building a personal brand on LinkedIn, actively applying to jobs, tailoring resumes and interviews, maintaining job hunting as a habit, and continuing self-improvement. Once hired, the document advises setting new goals and keeping skills and networking active in case of future opportunities.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

3. Why History?
• History is an important symbolic resource because:
(1) Human Consciousness is historically contingent on
technology, mentalities, and temporal powers.
(2) It encompasses the accumulated wisdom and
knowledge from our ancestors that can be applied to
new situations. History provides traditions, values, and
symbols that are vital to the culture-specific functioning
of societies. STABILITY
(3) History is appealing as a tool for political
communications because it offers concrete events and
people with emotional resonance whose relevance to
the current situation is open to interpretation and public
debate. CHANGE
Liu & Hilton (2005) British Journal of Social Psychology
4. METHODOLOGICAL OVERVIEW:
From Simplicity to Complexity
1) The Power of Simple Description: Using Open-
Ended Nominations as a content-rich tool for
describing social representations.
2) The Power of (bottom-up) Inductive Reasoning to
explore psychological phenomena that are content-
based and may vary across cultures
3) The Power of Cross-Cultural Statistics in
determining the universality vs. culture specificity
of historical representations.
4) Latent Class Analysis as a tool for ascertaining
Representational Profiles for individuals
5. Open Ended Questions used
• Write down the names of the 5 people born in the
last 1,000 years whom you consider to have had
the most impact, good or bad, on World History.
• Imagine that you were giving a seminar on world
history. What 7 events would you teach as the
most important in World History?
• Open-ended answers written in by participants and
coded.
Liu et al. 2005 Journal of Cross Cultural Psychology

11. Summary – Representations of World History
(1) History is projected backwards from the present
with sample averages of 63% of events and 72% of
persons from the last 100 years
(2) A Story about politics and war (esp. WWII & Hitler,
most nominated person), accounting for 67% of
events and persons.
(3) More Eurocentric than ethnocentric.
(4) Under-estimates the importance of economics and
technology (& science).

16. Summary of Muslim Nations of Turkey
and Indonesia
• No evidence of a pan-Islamic history. Turkish world
history is secular and focused on the creation of the
Republic of Turkey in the 20th century. Indonesia more
Islamic in narrative, but in hard fight vs. Islamic terrorism.
• In so far as representations of history is an indicator, the
“clash of civilizations” is the product of Western
imagination. Turkey and Indonesia admire Western
ideals of progress but their secular societies are corrupt.
• Loss of prestige for American Presidency: Bush’s rating
was significantly worse than Hitler in 4 societies, equal to
Hitler as perfectly negative in Spain, and higher than
Hitler in 2 societies.

18. Summary: Towards a Global Political Culture?
“Samples from 12 new countries confirmed the major findings
reported in Liu et al. (2005): (1) world history is a story
about politics and war, (2) representations of world history
are focused on the present, and (3) characterized by
Eurocentrism tempered by nationalism. The World Wars,
especially the Second World War and Hitler continued to be
considered across cultures as the most important events
and figure in world history…”
“A new cluster of events and figures surrounding 9-11 and the
Iraq War displaced the clusters of events and figures related
to the Cold War and to the Enlightenment (industrialization
and the rise of democracy) as the second most significant
cluster of events and people in world history. ”
“Not only does the past weigh on the present, but the present
weighs on the past (see Olick & Robbins, 1998 for the
sociological literature). Events and figures from the past
become salient as they are selectively mobilized for their
relevance to current political agendas.”
19. The World History Survey
• Major theories on cross-cultural psychology
revolve dimensions of cultural variation, like
individualism-collectivism, power distance,
autonomy-relatedness, etc., with Geert Hostede
and Shalom Schwartz being the most famous.
• Are there dimensions of historical perception that
are universal? Or is the meaning of historical
events and figures narratively constructed by
cultures and/or civilizations so that there are no
universal dimensions of meaning?
• Need for a Quantitative Survey
20.
21. New World History Survey (Liu et al., Journal of
Cross Cultural Psychology, 2012)
• Moving from open-ended nominations to closed-ended
mathematical evaluations.
• Student data collected from 30 societies, with more
than 5800 participants
• Any event or figure nominated by more than 1 society in
either the 2004 or 2009 papers were included.
Importance and evaluation of 40 prominent historical
events and figures across 30 societies.
• Goal is to use the science of survey analysis to develop a
global language of historical symbols: What
understandings do we share about the events in history
that brought here?
• Journal of Cross Cultural Psychology, International Journal of
Intercultural Relations, Asian Journal of Social Psychology, Culture
& Psychology are all potential outlets for representational papers

24. World History Survey
- Methodological Procedure
• Initial set of items = 40
• Initial number of countries = 31
• Removal of outlier items
– Criteria: low consistency of meaning across countries, Mode analyses
(neutral ratings on all scales, except in home country)
– Items removed: Islam/Christian Wars, French Revolution, Opium War,
Sino-Japanese War, Women’s Emancipation & Suffrage, Foundation of
major religions, Age of Discovery/Colonization, Sept 11, Discovery of
Americas, Rise of Islamic Civilization, 30 Years War, Russian Revolution
(1917), Partition of India and Pakistan, Invention of Printing Press, Rise of
Ancient Civilizations, Cultural Revolution
• Removal of outlier countries
– Criteria: based on MDS (Multidimensional Scaling) analyses between
countries, on screening of data and on quantitative outlier analyses
– Countries removed: Cape Verde, Congo, Burundi, Guinea Bissau, Tunisia
25.
26. Only First Dimension Stable
• Correlations between coordinates for individual
societies and the overall solution were very high
for the first (vertical) dim
• But the second (horizontal dimension) produced
low correlation coefficients. The second
dimension was sometimes uninterpretable.
• So we eliminated items that fit the overall
solution poorly using the ratio between sum of
squares fit per item divided by sum of squares
total.
• Fit did not improve.
• So we aggregated countries into clusters, and
used MDS and GPA on the clusters to achieve
better fitting dimensional solutions: one Western
and two non-Western country clusters.

33. Conclusions from the Past: the Historical
Basis for Global Political Culture
• Global Historical Consciousness is rooted in forms of
modernity developed and exported from the West to
other Cultures, including democracy, the nation-state
system, and industrialization.
• But in mathematical terms, the Symbolic Landscape of
Shared Meanings about History is Limited. There is much
more agreement about what is Historical Calamity than
Progress (what to avoid rather than what to achieve).
Reactions from non-Western states.
• It is promising for global stability that the most powerful
civilization also has citizens who are the least willing to
fight in wars.
• We have left behind the era of Western imperialism, but
that era casts long post-colonial shadows of inequality.
34. Inglehart & Baker’s (2000) Conclusion
to 2 decades of research on the World
Values Survey
• “A history of Protestant or Islamic or
Confucian traditions gives rise to cultural
zones with distinctive value systems that
persist after controlling for the effects of
economic development… We doubt that
the forces of modernization will produce a
homogenized world culture in the
foreseeable future. (p. 49).”
35. Towards the Future: National
and Global Political Cultures
• Representations of history are an important
warrant of legitimacy, or “charter” for political
order in general, and the emergence of world
political culture in particular (Hilton & Liu, 2008;
Liu & Hilton, 2005). Through the embellishment
of history into tradition (Hobsbawm & Ranger,
1983), historical heroes and villains can become
embodiments (or symbols) of national political
cultures. Acquiring representations of them is a
principal mechanism through which political
socialization occurs.
36.
37.
38. Narrative Functions of Figures & Events
in World History as a Morality Tale
• Historical figures symbolize and embody
national (Schwartz, 1997) and civilizational
political cultures, whereas critical events
like World War II are more like cultural
schemata that may be invoked or mobilized
as lessons to justify action (Reicher &
Hopkins, 2000; Liu & Hilton, 2005). Events
impart lessons, whereas heroes embody
values and inspire actions.

44. Pattern of Regional Variation in Meaning,
with Liberal Philosophy underpinning
Westerners’ ratings (for the most part)
• Western societies rate benevolent figures very highly,
“axis of evil” figures very negatively.
• They also rated events of Historical Calamities and
Historical Progress(!) more negatively, and Resistance to
Oppression more positively than non-Western societies.
• Factor Analytical techniques of removing items and
increasing shared variance doesn’t seem to make much
sense for Figures, because multiple factors emerge
without greater shared meaning than the individuals that
make them up (e.g., American Presidents sans Bush,
Humanitarians, axis of evil, Marxist leaders, etc).
• Probe with Latent Cluster Analysis rather than Factor
Analysis, gather PEOPLE rather than ITEMS that share
similarities in pattern of ratings.
47. What is Global Consciousness?
• A form of Pluralistic Interconnectedness spanning
gulfs of religion and culture with awareness and
understanding.
– Rooted in Western forms of modernity, but capable of
taking on different forms as it fuses with alternative cultures
and religions.
– Coming to terms with different models of societal
organization, one new and one more ancient: liberal/social
democracy and benevolent authority
– Religion is something Secular Idealists and Realpolitik would
like to go away, but it is here to stay. So get used to it.
48. “Out of great suffering comes great
things” or can we talk about it now?
