culture\ sociology.pptx
This document defines culture and discusses its key aspects. It provides Tyler's definition of culture as the complex whole that includes knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, laws, and customs acquired by humans as members of society. It notes that culture is learned, transmitted, social, adaptive, and dynamic. The characteristics of culture are that it is learned, social, transmitted, consistent and cumulative, constant and integrated, adaptive and dynamic, gratifying, and varies between societies. The elements of culture include the cognitive elements of beliefs, norms, values, and signs.
Historical concepts
This document discusses key concepts in historical inquiry, including how perspectives shape history, the importance of distinguishing between primary and secondary sources, and concepts like continuity and change, cause and effect, empathy, significance, and contestability. Historians recognize that perspectives change over time and are influenced by factors like age, gender, and beliefs. They also seek to identify developments over both the short and long term by examining continuity and change as well as causes and effects of historical events.
What Is History Ppt
1. The document discusses key concepts for studying history, including themes, interactions between societies, change and continuity over time, technology and demography, social and gender structures, and culture.
2. It also provides an outline called "PIRATES" to analyze different aspects of civilizations, including their politics, intellectual developments, religion, arts, technology, economics, and social structures.
3. The document encourages brainstorming about factors that influence history and analyzing where civilizations are located on maps in relation to geographic features.
Africa Unit Slides
This document appears to be a list of questions and topics from a World History 1 course. It includes potential questions on what factors contribute to the success or failure of civilizations, the causes and effects of the diffusion of people, goods, and ideas, and why some cultures were more developed than others by the Industrial Revolution. It also lists themes of the course like power and authority, economics, and interaction with the environment. Finally, it outlines topics that will be covered, including human origins in Africa, achievements in the Stone Age, and the emergence of modern humans.
What is history
This document discusses the study of history and provides definitions of key concepts. It can be summarized as:
1) History is the study of how human communities developed over time through documenting daily life, ideas, systems of rule, and conflicts.
2) There are four main methods used to date historical events: historical records, tree ring dating, radiocarbon dating, and potassium-argon dating.
3) A civilization is an advanced culture characterized by agriculture, urban life, specialized labor, writing, and complex political, military, social and religious structures.
STS - technology as a way of revealing
This document summarizes the changes in human condition before and after the development of science and technology. It explains that before common era, people lived according to nature and relied on rituals. After common era, population growth and overhunting led to resource depletion. Technology helped make life easier and more productive by advancing medicine, health, education and allowing longer lifespans, higher literacy and GDP. However, overreliance on technology for economic gain risks losing sight of what really matters to humanity. Overall, technology improved conditions for many but global inequalities still exist.
Science vs humanity
this is a ppt which i did it with utmost difficulty and i would be very happy if this is usefull to any one.....
Book review sapiens1
Yuval Noah Harari is an Israeli historian and professor who has authored several popular science bestsellers including Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. In Sapiens, Harari rewrites human history from evolution through modern times, examining key developments like the cognitive, agricultural, and scientific revolutions. While much of Sapiens is extremely interesting and well-expressed, some criticisms note that later portions exhibit carelessness, exaggeration, and sensationalism in their sweeping judgments and assertions of causal connections. Overall, however, Sapiens remains one of Harari's most compelling works.

Mark Bahnisch Phd Final Seminar
This document discusses reframing political sociology through a phenomenology of utopia and the political imaginary. It argues that concepts like globalization are ideologies that obscure real political questions about universals and anti-systemic action. It explores how thinkers like Benjamin, Castoriadis, Lefort and Derrida conceptualized the political imaginary and utopian thinking. It advocates a critical sociology that temporalizes the political through articulating minor traditions to the empty place of the universal. The aim is to recover the political at the end of history through a phenomenology of limits and the intersubjective decision.
C1 - What Is History
This document provides an overview of the key concepts in the study of history. It defines history as the critical examination of past events and developments using evidence-based inquiry. It outlines the main subjects, time periods, and fields covered in history, as well as how history has evolved as an academic discipline over time. The document also discusses some misconceptions about history and emphasizes history's importance in helping to understand the present and shape the future.
Rise of the West
The document discusses several theories for what caused the rise of the West between 1450-1750. The environmental theory argues Europe's natural advantages like resources, climate and harbors gave it a head start. D'Souza's theory says Europe rose due to institutions like science, democracy, and capitalism. Other factors discussed include the centralization of nation-states, population impacts from the Black Death like labor shortages and immunity, religious changes from the Reformation, and technological advances like the printing press.
History as a discipline
This document discusses the discipline of history. It defines history as the study of past human experience based on evidence from the past. Key points:
- History has no subject matter of its own and synthesizes knowledge from many fields to illuminate pieces of the past. It is constantly changing and subjective.
- The elements of history include people, places, time periods, and primary and secondary sources. The historical methodology involves choosing a topic, identifying relevant information, examining sources for validity, and organizing the information into a narrative.
- The uses and importance of history include helping us understand what it means to be human, improving judgment, providing examples, and supporting cultural understanding. Studying the past also prepares us for
Information society

The document then covers the different approaches to studying history, from theological to postmodernist approaches. It notes historians have shifted to more secular, analytical studies of history over time.
Sti For Revealing Modernity In Africa Rev1
The paper provides a speculative reflection on the power of modern science, technology and innovation systems (STI) for revealing some distinctive style of modernity in Africa. The modernization of these systems, as the backbones of any mode of modernity, also requires the modernization of our mental or intellectual costumes. This process is essentially the passage from closed, self-confirming, faith-based, customary, totalizing or terrorizing knowledge systems to essentially falsifiable, evidence-based, scientifically-established and technically-proven innovative knowledge systems. In these systems scientific knowledge can be construed as a theory of the real and as a technology of truth and understood as the epistemological foundation of any form of Afro-modernity. It is also the passage from the ‘Book of Scripture’ to the ‘Book of Nature’ or from the submission to the white man’s colonizing gods to the more authentic and genuine African identities, beliefs and values, such as those embodied in the concept of ubuntu. In this perspective rejuvenating knowledge systems can purge Abrahamic and Shamanic worldviews of non-scientific constituents and open a path from the mostly totemic, enchanted, mystified, supernatural, patriarchal / phallocratic and over-religious worldviews and mindsets of pre-modern Africa to the more desacralized, secular, rational, liberal, enlightened and autonomous worldviews and mindsets of modernity. This paradigmatic shift toward modern ways of knowing and understanding requires championing the scientific method, the rule of technique and innovation as well as promoting decisive scientific arbitrations, increased technical mediations and a redefinition of STI’s relationships with religious, cultural, social and economic life. For this shift to occur there is a need to better appreciate modern science as a method of both calculative and subversive thinking, as a means of achieving the systematic renovation of conventional / medieval / pre-modern realities and as a way to reconstruct and re-order African realities from fresh fundamentals and from the latest scientific insights. This may require strengthening various capacities to probe, undermine and rationalize oppressive systems (religious, cultural, social, economic, political). It may also require re-cosmologizing, re-mythologizing, ‘re-prophetizing’, re-charlatanizing and re-directing the evolution of the African reality toward a region free of wishful thinking, fallacies, lies, superstitions, prejudices, magic and witchcraft and toward an Islam-free and Christian-free scientifically-informed free-thinking innovative post-colony. The necessary capacities for achieving this shift toward more innovative scientific and technical orders and systems are grouped into eight areas.
Heritage Of The West Intro Day 1
This document introduces the study of civilization and history. It defines civilization as involving cities, organization, and writing. The key indicators of developing civilization are cultural, economic, political, social and technological changes. Some potential limits of civilization include class distinctions, differences between sexes, and increased social anxiety from complex social structures. The document goes on to ask what history is, whether it is an art or science, what historians do, and what methods and purposes they use in studying and interpreting history.
Educational philosophers (sophist and greeks)
The document discusses the Sophists, who were traveling teachers in ancient Greece. They emphasized rhetoric, debate, and questioning established truths. Protagoras was a influential Sophist who believed that truth was subjective. Socrates used questioning to help people critically examine their beliefs. Plato was a student of Socrates and proposed an ideal system of government and education. Aristotle was a student of Plato and emphasized virtue, reason, and different types of education depending on one's social class. The document also discusses Jesus' teachings and educational methods like parables.

Technologies For Uncovering Modernity
The document discusses the role of science, technology, and innovation (STI) in uncovering modernity in Africa. It argues that STI and modernity are co-constitutive, and that Africa needs scientific renewal to overcome its current state of being "scientifically castrated" with less than 0.1% of global scientific production. It outlines characteristics of modernity like rationalization and secularization, and describes several "technologies" like the technology of self, freedom, signs, newness, change, power, and truth that STI can help develop to transform African societies and uncover modernity.

(mis)understanding transhumanism
Transhumanism is a complex phenomenon that incorporates ideas from humanism while also considering enhancements beyond current human capabilities using science and technology. It contains many apparent contradictions, as it possesses elements that are both individualistic and communal, rational and spiritual, future-oriented and rooted in history. Due to its blending of diverse and sometimes opposing philosophies and goals, transhumanism defies straightforward categorization.
Michael A. Rappenglück - The human face of science trends, challenges, and de...
The document discusses various challenges and strategies for effectively communicating science to the public. It argues that communicating science faces difficulties from political and economic pressures, but can inspire people by making scientific concepts tangible and relatable to human experiences. It also stresses the importance of balancing scientific rigor with accessibility and of involving both professional and amateur scientists in communication efforts.
Understanding culture, society, and politics
The document provides background on the origins and development of the social sciences. It discusses how the social sciences emerged later than the natural sciences and were originally based on social and political philosophy. The key developments that allowed the social sciences to grow included the scientific revolution, secularization of learning through events like the Protestant Reformation and Enlightenment, the rise of universities, and the dissolution of feudal social relations with the growth of commerce. These changes helped establish science as the dominant way of understanding the world and nature.
Understanding culture, society, and politics
The document summarizes the historical origins and development of the social sciences. It discusses how the social sciences emerged later than the natural sciences, tracing origins to ancient Greek philosophers but only developing as separate fields in the modern period. Key events that enabled this included the scientific revolution undermining religious authority, the secularization of education through universities, and the dissolution of feudal social relations with the rise of commerce. The document presents the social sciences as building upon these historical transformations to establish empirical, evidence-based approaches to studying society, culture and politics.
Chapter 1 the birth and growth of the social sciences
Here are 3 examples of social phenomena/behaviors and their effects on individuality:
1. Family structure - Coming from a close-knit or dysfunctional family shapes one's relationships and beliefs. It influences how one sees themselves and functions in society.
2. Peer pressure - The need for acceptance and fear of exclusion can motivate risky behaviors or prevent individuals from expressing themselves authentically. It challenges one's independence and self-identity.
3. Social media use - Constant comparison/validation-seeking online can undermine self-esteem and disconnect people from real social interaction. It redefines social norms and challenges concepts of privacy and image control.
In summary, various social/cultural factors deeply impact the development of
Sample_The_Primitive_MInd_and_Modern_Man
This document provides an overview of the book "The Primitive Mind and Modern Man" by John Alan Cohan. It discusses what can be gained from studying primitive cultures, including gaining insights into human nature and understanding our own modern cultures. While primitive and modern cultures may seem different on the surface, the author aims to highlight fundamental similarities. The document outlines the book's contents and chapters, which cover topics like primitive beliefs, rituals, consciousness, conflict, status, and folk medicine. The preface discusses the origins and goals of cultural anthropology as a discipline for understanding diverse human societies and behaviors.
Renaissance economics
This document discusses Ethiopia's narrative of renaissance and some misunderstandings. It argues that while the economy has grown and infrastructure projects point to rebirth, true renaissance requires virtuous cultural and societal values that Ethiopia still lacks. Specifically, resistance to individualism and preference for conformity persist, as do hierarchies, religious extremism, and pride in history without critical analysis. For renaissance to succeed, Ethiopia must understand its own past and culture, prioritize secularism and rational thought over imported religious doctrines, and shift education to develop independent thinking over rote learning. Overall progress requires addressing challenges to development like harmful beliefs, but with recognition that cultural change is difficult.
C4 The Never Ending Upward Quest 2002
Spiral Dynamics is a theory that maps the evolution of human consciousness and culture. It proposes that human thinking develops through eight hierarchical "memes" or value systems in response to life's challenges. These memes represent increasing levels of complexity from basic survival instincts to holistic, spiritual thinking. Cultures and societies are shaped by the dominant memes of their time. The memes form a spiral structure that charts humanity's ongoing development to higher forms of cognition and problem-solving.
Schaefers.2 a1
This document provides an overview of cultural anthropology as a discipline. It discusses the early development of anthropology in Europe and how perspectives have shifted from modernism to post-modernism. Key terms used in cultural anthropology are defined, such as participant observation, ethnography, and emic and etic analysis. An example is given of how different perspectives might analyze the cause of a disease among the Fore people of New Guinea. The importance of cultural relativism is also discussed.

Key terms used in cultural anthropology are defined, such as participant observation, ethnography, and emic and etic analysis. An example is given of how an anthropological perspective was used to solve the mystery of an illness among the Fore people of New Guinea.
Science islam
The document discusses the relationship between science and religion in Islam, noting that while there are liberal views, conservative and popular options generally support traditional religious beliefs and reject ideas seen as materialist such as common descent, and that science is often seen as subordinate to religious revelation rather than independent which has contributed to challenges with issues like creationism in Muslim-majority countries.
Anthropology power point slides
This document contains information about anthropology and Marxism. It defines anthropology as the study of humans, how and why we evolved, and how societies vary in different places and times. It discusses the four main fields of anthropology: biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics. The document also provides an overview of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels' perspectives on historical materialism and the base and superstructure of societies. It describes the distinct economic phases of human history according to Marxism.

IntroductionToSts notes,handouts, reviewer
The document provides an overview of the history of science from ancient civilizations through modern times, outlining key discoveries and advances made by Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, and others, as well as how science stagnated but was later revived during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It also defines technology and society, gives examples of how technology has impacted various areas of life, and outlines an assignment related to discussing the development of science, technology, and society through different eras and civilizations.
Islam the only way
This document discusses the state of the modern world and argues that Islam shows the way forward. It begins by noting that while the modern age has brought immense knowledge, wealth, and technological achievements, it lacks moral and spiritual values. As a result, humanity's progress has actually added to its suffering through things like selfishness, greed, hatred, and weapons of mass destruction. The document then examines areas like knowledge, energy, wealth, resources, and medical aid that have advanced greatly. However, it argues that without moral guidance, this progress has caused more problems. The document rejects solutions from communism, capitalism, and other ideologies. It asserts that only Islam can save humanity and guide it to peace by answering questions about human purpose and
The Modern and the Postmodern
The document contrasts modern and postmodern perspectives across several domains. It discusses how modernism had faith in grand theories and unified identities, while postmodernism rejects totalizing theories and embraces pluralism and fragmented identities. Additionally, it notes that modernism valued originals and dichotomies between high and low culture, while postmodernism emphasizes simulacra, mixing of cultures, and intertextuality.
Hindu-pagan relations
This document discusses Hindu-Pagan relations and moving beyond monotheistic narratives. It argues that monotheism artificially divides concepts like sacred and secular. Pagan traditions were more flexible and based on oral tradition and culture rather than written scripture. Secularism and other modern ideologies employ the same narratives and language as monotheistic religions. The origins of monotheism are examined, suggesting it arose from conditions in the Roman Empire and was used to maintain imperial control. Western civilization is traced back to these monotheistic roots. Pagan beliefs and traditions provided the basis for modern civilization despite being suppressed by monotheistic religions. Moving beyond monotheism could help unlock this pagan past.
Postmodernism
The document discusses key ideas of postmodernism and how they differ from modernism/Enlightenment thought. Postmodernism questions master narratives and universal histories, celebrates fragmentation over unity, and rejects totalizing theories. It also emphasizes local narratives, social pluralism, skepticism of progress, and a fragmented self over a unified individualism.
An introduction to the Introduction to the World History
This document provides an overview of Ibn Khaldun, a 14th century North African scholar, and Ali Al-Wardi's analysis of his work. Ibn Khaldun developed social cycle theory to explain the rise and fall of civilizations. He challenged prevailing Aristotelian logic by arguing forms must evolve with changing material conditions. Ibn Khaldun's concept of "asabiyyah", or social solidarity, described the reciprocal relationship between idealism and materialism in societies. While a brilliant theorist, Ibn Khaldun also demonstrated opportunistic behavior in politics. Al-Wardi asserts Ibn Khaldun developed his sociopolitical theory to justify his own controversial life and practices.

In gods we trust the evolutionary landscape of religion (evolution and cogn...SPK División Gráfica Digital de Surpack S.A.
The document discusses how evolutionary psychology and cognitive science can help explain the cultural power and universality of religion. It argues that current explanations for religion do not sufficiently explain why evolution did not select against costly and illogical religious beliefs and behaviors. The author proposes that religion arises from naturally selected cognitive structures and processes in the human mind/brain rather than serving a specific evolutionary function.Similar to Uncovering Modernity 9 Slides (20)
