Surviving Economic Crises through EducationDavid R Cole
This document contains a collection of essays that discuss how education can help societies survive economic crises. The essays address topics such as open science and knowledge sharing to restore public education during budget cuts. They also discuss how education can build resilience against hostile policies, help communities engage with democratic socialism, and develop new narratives in times of crisis. Overall, the document argues that education can play an important role in helping societies withstand economic hardship and envision new possibilities through struggle and hope.
Lay psychology of globalization and its social impactJimmy Valderrama
This document summarizes two studies examining lay perceptions of globalization across different regions. The studies found that despite regional differences in experiences with globalization, there were cross-regional similarities in how people:
1) Perceived globalization as related to but distinct from concepts like modernization, Westernization, and Americanization.
2) Categorized globalization-related issues along the dimensions of international trade vs. technology and globalized consumption vs. global consequences.
3) Viewed globalization as having a stronger positive impact on people's competence rather than warmth.
1. Social change refers to alterations in social order, social institutions, social behaviors, social relations, or other aspects of social structure over time.
2. Social change may be driven by cultural, religious, economic, scientific or technological forces and can include paradigm shifts or social movements.
3. Theories of social change include evolutionary theories of linear or multilinear progress, cyclical theories of rise and fall of societies, and conflict theories that social change results from conflicts between groups within society.
This document provides an overview of theories of social change. It discusses historical models of social change including ideas of decline, cyclic change, and progress. It also examines patterns of social change including cyclic change, one-directional change, and combined patterns. Key factors that can drive social change are discussed such as the natural environment, demographics, technology, economics, ideas, social movements, and politics. Mechanisms of social change like saturation and exhaustion, conflict/cooperation, tension and adaptation, and the diffusion of innovations are also outlined.
This document discusses social change and its causes. It defines social change as variations in social processes, patterns, interactions, or organization over time. The main factors that influence the rate and direction of social change are outlined as:
1. Biological factors like changes in population size, composition, and hereditary qualities between generations.
2. Physical environmental factors like geographical changes from storms, earthquakes, or floods.
3. Technological factors, as inventions and new production/communication/transportation technologies drive social changes by transforming economies, work, and interactions.
4. Cultural factors that both influence and are influenced by social changes in behaviors, beliefs, and traditions.
Social, cultural, and political changeMaryjoydailo
Social change is the transformation of culture and social institutions over time. It happens constantly and can be both intentional and unplanned. Social change is caused by factors like culture, conflict, ideas, and demographic shifts. Modernity refers to social patterns resulting from industrialization like increasing division of labor. Theories of modernization differ, with Marx seeing it as the triumph of capitalism and Weber focusing on rationalization and bureaucracy. New challenges to social change include issues like climate change, migration, and responding through citizenship, media, and social movements.
Human beings have existed on Earth for approximately 500,000 years, but civilization has existed for only around 6,000 years. While social change has always occurred, the pace of change has dramatically accelerated in recent centuries. In particular, the most rapid social change has taken place in just the last 50-100 years. Technological developments, economic transformations, political upheavals, and cultural shifts have all contributed to unprecedented levels of social change in the modern world.

The Imporatnce of Millennium Development Goals: A Study of Resource Managemen...Muhammad Reza Zaini
Presented at International Conference on Science and Social Research 2013, Penang Island, Malaysia.
The goal of this case study research is to analyze the significance of multiculturalism within the Indonesian government’s Millennium Development Goals poverty eradication effort. Thus, the outcome is to identify solutions toward poverty caused by the absence of multiculturalism values in Ambon, through resource management. The consideration of choosing Ambon is because it is one of Indonesia’s most underdeveloped regions, though rich in natural resources. Interestingly, the condition was widely linked to ethnic issues occurred in Ambon since Suharto’s downfall in 1998. This research’s main concept is based on Amartya Sen’s notion of social exclusion, namely the capability deprivation. Additionally, the sociological perspective of structural-functionalism is employed as the research perspective. Other literature studies include historical review on the relation between poverty and multiculturalism in developing countries, as well as Iwan Gardono’s paper on primordial conflicts in Ambon. By analyzing the relation between the state’s ignorance of multiculturalism and poverty, we will understand how the ethnicity-based exclusion occurred in post-Suharto Ambon until recently. In turn, this phenomenon triggered marginalization of the dominant native ethnic groups. Eventually, the structural inequality caused by the marginalization enables the non-native ethnic groups to enjoy the natural resources exclusively. The finding offers an alternative solution of natural resource management in Ambon, as a blueprint of sustainable development. Therefore, results suggest that multiculturalism values should be structurally enforced by the state to ensure inclusivity among various ethnic groups. The importance of bottom-up policy-making to create compatible social policies within different social structures is also suggested.
The document analyzes the shift in media messages on the covers of Seventeen magazine from 1944-1954 compared to 2004-2014. It finds that the earliest decade focused on topics like political/current events and education, mentioning physical appearance zero times. However, the most recent decade focused almost exclusively on physical appearance, which was mentioned 30 times, and money, with no mentions of political topics. This dramatic shift suggests the magazine no longer aims to empower girls as role models, and instead focuses on their physical selves. The implications are that readers may develop unhealthy attitudes about body image and relationships based on the magazine's framing of topics.
This document provides an overview of topics covered in a sociology unit on social change, including theories of population change, urbanization, and ecological issues. It discusses factors that affect population growth and decline such as birth rates, death rates, and migration. Regarding urbanization, it summarizes theories of urban structure, life in cities, and the evolution of different city types. On ecological issues, it outlines the relationship between humans and the environment and effects of urbanization and environmental racism.
Social change in Bangladesh: Sociological Point of viewtanmay mondal
1. The document discusses social changes in Bangladesh from a sociological viewpoint. It outlines several types of social changes including political, cultural, agricultural, economic, technological, and changes related to women's empowerment.
2. Key sociological theories on social change discussed include technological theory, evolutionary theory, and Oswald Spengler's theory on the life cycle of civilizations.
3. In conclusion, the author notes that progressive social change is needed in an era of increasing global challenges to create a more just and stable world.

HOW SOCIAL CHANGES CAN OCCUR IN OUR SOCIETY. HOW A SOCIETY CAN CHANGE THROUGH A PROCESS FROM THEIR PRIMITIVE STAGE TO MATURE STAGE. CHANGES ALWYAS NOT REFERS TO GOOD THINGS LIKE DEVELOPMENT, SOMETIMES IT HAD SOME BAD EFFECT ALSO.
1) The document defines human development as understanding how and why people change or remain the same over time through three crucial elements: science, diversity, and connections between change and time.
2) It discusses key theories of development including dynamic systems theory and Bronfenbrenner's bioecological systems model which examine interactions between multiple levels.
3) Five key principles of development are outlined: multidirectional, multicontextual, multicultural, multidisciplinary, and plasticity. Development is influenced by many interacting factors and can change in many directions over one's life.
Social change is the modification or transformation of public policy, culture, or social institutions over time. It is an ongoing process that occurs differently depending on each society. There are several factors that cause social change, including technology, ideology, competition, conflict, political and economic conditions, and structural strain. These sources of change are interrelated and interconnected, as they work together to drive rapid growth and transformation in society. Changes can have both benefits and drawbacks for communities, and sources of change impact all levels of social structure, from individuals to groups to institutions. The various sources cannot be separated, as that would make societies unstable and unable to adapt properly.

Building Bridges: Social inclusion problems as research and innovation issuesiBoP Asia
This document discusses linking social inclusion problems to research and innovation projects. It presents the experience of a program in Uruguay called "Research and Innovation Oriented to Social Inclusion". The program aims to establish relationships between social inclusion problems and research/innovation projects to address these problems. However, there are difficulties in achieving this, including properly defining social inclusion problems that are relevant to research. The document uses a "circuit" framework to analyze the process of moving from recognizing a social inclusion problem to developing an effective solution. It discusses the actors involved and potential "short-circuits" that can truncate the problem-solving process. The program has evolved over time based on lessons learned in order to better connect research to societal needs.

This document summarizes a comparative study of beliefs about "evil eye" or "mal de ojo" across four Latino populations with historical links to Spain: Puerto Ricans in Connecticut, Mexican Americans in south Texas, Mexicans in Guadalajara, Mexico, and rural Guatemalans. The study finds widespread recognition of mal de ojo across communities and examines consistency within and between communities to identify core themes in beliefs about causes, symptoms, and treatments that may have persisted over time from older Spanish versions.
Postmodern Urbanism and the New PsychogeographyTina Richardson
This lecture provides an overview of some of the theoretical approaches to the postmodern city highlighting the issues that pertain to the appearance of urban space under neoliberalism. You will be introduced to some of the leading contemporary thinkers from the field of urban theory/planning and urban cultural studies. Many of the motifs that arise in the theories of contemporary urban life have been incorporated into the critical practices of a number of today’s urban walkers. These practitioners have developed their own form of psychogeography which responds to the complexity of postmodern space in different ways. Tina’s lecture will tease out some of these motifs and will demonstrate how they have been incorporated into the various methodologies of the New Psychogeography.
Millennials make up a significant portion of today's workforce and will continue growing into leadership roles. Research shows that as a generation, Millennials tend to be confident, ambitious, and want frequent feedback and career development opportunities. They also prefer flexible work arrangements and value work-life balance. Some organizations have adapted practices to better support Millennials, such as more flexible schedules, mentorship programs, and frequent performance reviews. As Millennials rise to leadership, they will likely change the workplace in unknown ways as every new generation does.

Cultural innovation
This document discusses sociological theories of social change. It explains that early approaches debated whether social change was caused by single or multiple factors. Key aspects of social change discussed include direction, rate, sources of influence, and controllability. Two theoretical models are presented: the accumulation model where growth of knowledge allows new ways of doing things and social change follows; and the diffusion of innovations model where a new development spreads depending on who adopts and promotes it. Structural functionalism originally dominated thinking and sought to identify influential institutions and maintain equilibrium when changes occurred.
Social change occurs through complex interactions between various factors. Early sociological theories debated whether social change was determined by single or multiple causes. Patterns of human behavior are influenced by social norms and institutions, leading to potentially predictable social change. Sociological theories analyze the direction, rate, sources, and controllability of social change, seeking to understand social equilibrium and tension between changing and stable parts of society. Theories like accumulation of knowledge and diffusion of innovations explain social change through the development and spread of new ideas.

Emerging Adulthood
A Theory of Development From the Late Teens Through the Twenties
Jeffrey Jensen Arnett
University of Maryland College Park
Emerging adulthood is proposed as a new conception of
development for the period from the late teens through the
twenties, with a focus on ages 18-25. A theoretical back-
ground is presented, Then evidence is provided to support
the idea that emerging adulthood is a distinct period de-
mographically, subjectively, and in terms of identity explo-
rations. How emerging adulthood differs from adolescence
and young adulthood is explained. Finally, a cultural con-
text for the idea of emerging adulthood is outlined, and it
is specified that emerging adulthood exists only in cultures
that allow young people a prolonged period of independent
role. exploration during the late teens and twenties.
When our mothers were our age, they were engaged . . . . They
at least had some idea what they were going to do with their
lives . . . . I, on the other hand, will have a dual degree in majors
that are ambiguous at best and impractical at worst (English and
political science), no ring on my finger and no idea who I am,
much less what I want to do . . . . Under duress, I will admit that
this is a pretty exciting time. Sometimes, when I look out across
the wide expanse that is my future, I can see beyond the void. I
realize that having nothing ahead to count on means I now have
to count on myself; that having no direction means forging one of
my own. (Kristen, age 22; Page, 1999, pp. 18, 20)
F or most young people in industrialized countries, the years from the late teens through the twenties are years of profound change and importance. During
this time, many young people obtain the level of education
and training that will provide the foundation for their
incomes and occupational achievements for the remainder
of their adult work lives (Chisholm & Hurrelmann, 1995;
Wil l iam T. Grant Foundation Commission on Work, Fam-
ily, and Citizenship, 1988). It is for many people a time of
frequent change as various possibilities in love, work, and
worldviews are explored (Erikson, 1968; Rindfuss, 1991).
By the end of this period, the late twenties, most people
have made life choices that have enduring ramifications.
When adults later consider the most important events in
their lives, they most often name events that took place
during this period (Martin & Smyer, 1990),
Sweeping demographic shifts have taken place over
the past half century that have made the late teens and early
twenties not simply a brief period of transition into adult
roles but a distinct period of the life course, characterized
by change and exploration of possible life directions. As
recently as 1970, the median age of marriage in the United
States was about 21 for women and 23 for men; by 1996,
it had risen to 25 for women and 27 for men (U.S. Bureau
of the Census, 1997). Age of first childbirth ...
Three recommendations from postmodernist thinking in curriculumTugba Boz
This document discusses three recommendations for curriculum based on postmodernist thinking. [1] Curriculums should include multicultural perspectives that respect diverse cultures, lifestyles, and identities. [2] They should include both global/national and local issues to avoid disadvantaging certain social groups. [3] Knowledge should be presented as emergent and relative rather than fixed to encourage critical thinking in students.
This document outlines an assignment for a paper on modernization. It provides questions for the paper, including how modernization manifests in US society, if it will continue, if it is a worldwide trend, and the consequences. It asks students to choose a modernization theorist and research in the library to support their answers. The paper should be 1,050-1,750 words and cite 3-5 sources using APA format, with at least two from the library.
Emerging adulthood is proposed as a new developmental period between adolescence and young adulthood focusing on ages 18-25. Demographic shifts over the past 50 years including delays in marriage and parenthood have altered development during this period, which is now characterized by exploration of life possibilities rather than entering stable adult roles. The theory argues this period is distinct from adolescence and young adulthood, as it involves relative independence while exploring love, work and worldviews before taking on enduring adult responsibilities.

by change and exploration of possible life directions. As
recently as 1970, the median age of marriage in the United
States was about 21 for women and 23 for men; by 1996,
it had risen to 25 for women and 27 for men (U.S. Bureau
of the Census, 1997). Age of first childbirth ...
Three recommendations from postmodernist thinking in curriculumTugba Boz
This document discusses three recommendations for curriculum based on postmodernist thinking. [1] Curriculums should include multicultural perspectives that respect diverse cultures, lifestyles, and identities. [2] They should include both global/national and local issues to avoid disadvantaging certain social groups. [3] Knowledge should be presented as emergent and relative rather than fixed to encourage critical thinking in students.
This document outlines an assignment for a paper on modernization. It provides questions for the paper, including how modernization manifests in US society, if it will continue, if it is a worldwide trend, and the consequences. It asks students to choose a modernization theorist and research in the library to support their answers. The paper should be 1,050-1,750 words and cite 3-5 sources using APA format, with at least two from the library.
Emerging adulthood is proposed as a new developmental period between adolescence and young adulthood focusing on ages 18-25. Demographic shifts over the past 50 years including delays in marriage and parenthood have altered development during this period, which is now characterized by exploration of life possibilities rather than entering stable adult roles. The theory argues this period is distinct from adolescence and young adulthood, as it involves relative independence while exploring love, work and worldviews before taking on enduring adult responsibilities.
This document provides an overview of an introductory sociology course, including what sociology is, why people take sociology courses, and key concepts like the sociological perspective and sociological imagination. The instructor encourages students to make observations about classroom interactions and discusses using sociological perspectives to understand issues like the Virginia Tech shooting. Major theoretical paradigms in sociology like structural functionalism, social conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism are also briefly introduced.
The document provides an overview of sociological perspectives on age and the life course. It discusses how age is a social construct and the meaning of age varies across societies and historical periods. For example, childhood as a distinct life stage is a relatively recent development. It also summarizes functionalist views of age from Parsons, which see different age roles as beneficial to social stability, and conflict views that see age groups as defined by their relationship to employment in capitalist societies.
Youth Essay. Pine Technical and Community CollegeLisa Williams
The document discusses the challenges of writing an essay on the topic of 'Youth'. It notes that youth encompasses a broad range of topics from adolescence to activism, requiring a narrow scope. It also notes the diversity of youth experiences across backgrounds and the need to represent this diversity coherently. Additionally, it states that youth involves conflicting narratives and expectations around education, health, and social issues that require balancing perspectives. Finally, it mentions that rapid technology changes continuously reshape young people's experiences and identities, necessitating an understanding of current trends. In conclusion, an essay on youth requires navigating complexities, diverse views, and evolving cultures through research and a nuanced narrative.
A Conceptual Framework for Examining Adolescent Identity,Med.docxsleeperharwell
A Conceptual Framework for Examining Adolescent Identity,
Media Influence, and Social Development
Blake Te’Neil Lloyd
University of South Carolina
The adolescent identity, media, and sociocognitive schema (AIMSS) framework offers
a theoretical understanding of adolescent consumption and cognitive processing of
media entertainment. Review and integration of mass communication theory, develop-
mental theory, and ecological theory serves as the conceptual foundation. The frame-
work outlines linkages between media exposure and adolescent development, in par-
ticular adolescent identity formation and social competence. A key contribution of the
model is consideration of the positive and negative aspects of adolescent cognition and
behavioral functioning. The present article offers several recommendations for testing
the utility of the AIMSS framework.
Less than a century ago, G. Stanley Hall pub-
lished his seminal work, Adolescence (1904),
which popularized the idea of adolescence as a
time of storm and strife. Since then our under-
standing of adolescence has slowly progressed
beyond a narrow focus on reactive, transient be-
haviors of maturing children to the study of intri-
cate developmental processes. Along the way,
several researchers have provided major concep-
tual and practical insights into our understanding
of how cognitive, social, and biological develop-
ment contribute to the overall well-being of the
adolescent. Erikson (1968), Elkind (1990), Brooks-
Gunn (1988), and numerous others have proposed
exemplary theoretical models that examine the
salient biological, psychosocial, and cognitive
tasks faced by adolescents. The key to deepening
this understanding of adolescent development is to
synthesize existing exemplary frameworks so as
to create new, perhaps eclectic, conceptual mod-
els. These new models must incorporate relevant
historical frameworks while simultaneously pre-
senting new theoretical perspectives that address
the interaction of the multiple domains of human
development within a contemporary context. If
adolescent social functioning is to be addressed
adequately, a close examination of the current
zeitgeist in which these youths develop is
paramount.
In this millennium, adolescents develop in an
environment saturated with technology, multi-
culturalism, and mass media imagery. Current
theories of adolescent development address the
biological and psychological growth of these
youths, but a comprehensive model that incor-
porates the sociocultural specificity of the 21st
century has not been set forth. If there is to be
an in-depth and more accurate understanding of
adolescent behavior, researchers must account
for these cultural and technological changes
within a developmental context. This article
lays out such a conceptual framework. It en-
deavors to present adolescent social develop-
ment within the context of these multiple phe-
nomena by considering the impact on adoles-
cent development and its most salient.
This document summarizes Daniel Levinson's conception of adult development, which includes the concepts of life course, life cycle, and life structure. It outlines Levinson's view that the life cycle consists of alternating eras and transitional periods, with early adulthood being the era from ages 17-45. This era is characterized as a time of both great energy and contradiction, as adults pursue careers and raise families while lacking full maturity. The document also discusses issues that must be addressed in the field of adult development.
Article Review Of Quot Research On Globalization And Education Quot By Joel...Leonard Goudy
This document provides a summary and evaluation of the article "Research on Globalization and Education" by Spring (2008). It discusses four major theoretical perspectives on the globalization of education: world culture, world systems, post-colonial, and culturalist. It analyzes how these perspectives relate to different sociological paradigms such as structural functionalism and conflict theory. It also discusses concepts like global flows and networks, and how education shapes and is shaped by society in the context of globalization. The evaluation provides an in-depth analysis of the topics and issues covered in the original research article and presentation.
Linking Social Change and Developmental ChangeShifting Path.docxjesssueann
Linking Social Change and Developmental Change:
Shifting Pathways of Human Development
Patricia M. Greenfield
University of California, Los Angeles
P. M. Greenfield’s new theory of social change and human development aims to show how changing
sociodemographic ecologies alter cultural values and learning environments and thereby shift
developmental pathways. Worldwide sociodemographic trends include movement from rural resi-
dence, informal education at home, subsistence economy, and low-technology environments to
urban residence, formal schooling, commerce, and high-technology environments. The former
ecology is summarized by the German term Gemeinschaft (“community”) and the latter by the
German term Gesellschaft (“society”; Tönnies, 1887/1957). A review of empirical research dem-
onstrates that, through adaptive processes, movement of any ecological variable in a Gesellschaft
direction shifts cultural values in an individualistic direction and developmental pathways toward
more independent social behavior and more abstract cognition—to give a few examples of the
myriad behaviors that respond to these sociodemographic changes. In contrast, the (much less
frequent) movement of any ecological variable in a Gemeinschaft direction is predicted to move
cultural values and developmental pathways in the opposite direction. In conclusion, sociocultural
environments are not static either in the developed or the developing world and therefore must be
treated dynamically in developmental research.
Keywords: social change, culture, cognitive development, social development, learning
The goal in this article is to develop a theory that links social
change with developmental change. It therefore deals simulta-
neously with two scales of development: change within a lifetime
and change across succeeding generations. In the field of devel-
opmental psychology, one normally thinks of developmental tra-
jectories as a constant across historical time. Indeed, a theoretical
problem is that theory and research in cultural psychology, includ-
ing cultural developmental psychology, assume that cultures are
static rather than dynamic. This article, in contrast, presents a
theory that, paradoxically, sees change in developmental trajec-
tories as the constant. A major goal of the theory of social
change and human development is to explain how, as sociode-
mographic conditions change, cultural values and developmen-
tal patterns are transformed across generations. Because socio-
demographic conditions are changing throughout the world—in
the direction of greater urbanization, higher levels of formal
schooling, increasing commercialization, and ever higher levels
of technology—the influence of social change on developmen-
tal patterns is an important domain in which theory is needed to
guide empirical research and to understand children and youths
in the United States and around the world.
A major strength of the theory of social change and human
development is.
1. This study examines how fashion consumption influences identity development among university students in Lima, Peru. It finds that the students see themselves as having academic, economic, and social strength compared to previous generations, allowing them to overcome historical segregation.
2. Fashion consumption acts as a tool for social mobility and communication of evolving identities. Students use clothing to project future leadership roles and navigate different social spheres. Mothers especially influence fashion choices as a way to advance the family name.
3. Identities are flexible and combinatorial, allowing students to strategically present themselves differently in various social contexts. Fashion brands provide "pieces of a puzzle" to construct identities seen as desirable within social groups.

This document summarizes a journal article that examines the growth of spiritualism and new age practices as trends. It discusses how concepts like positive thinking, spiritual awareness, and personal development have proliferated in language, culture, and daily life. The rise of these trends is seen as a response to anxieties around existence, death, and changing social structures in modern society. Individuals are seeking new guides and perspectives outside traditional religions. The popularity of books and seminars on personal development also indicates their emergence as a new cultural product and industry.
This document reviews previous research on social isolation and proposes a new conceptual framework. It begins by discussing two perspectives on isolation: one that sees it as a negative outcome of modernization processes, and another that views it as a structural position with potential benefits. It then reviews the explosion of recent research on isolation and loneliness, fueled in part by new social media. The document outlines competing views on whether new social media create more or less isolation. It concludes by proposing a new definition of isolation as having too many social connections, rather than too few, which can lead to feelings of loneliness due to the cognitive costs of navigating many relationships.
JHH Final Draft of Thesis with signature page 1315James Henry
This document is a thesis presented to Gonzaga University examining how social media and texting has influenced Generation iY's ability to communicate face-to-face in academic settings. The thesis consists of 4 focus groups with Generation iY students and faculty to understand their perspectives. The theories of Postman, McLuhan, and Ong regarding technological change are applied. The study found Generation iY prefers face-to-face communication but finds social media less intimidating. They also struggle with critical thinking skills due to overreliance on social media to prove beliefs to peers rather than find answers. The thesis will discuss limitations, recommendations, and conclusions.

“Compare and contrast society during the early Renaissance in Europe to contemporary society”
In the fourteenth and fifteenth century, Europe experienced significant changes in history. This marked the rebirth and intellectual growth of Europe since many changes were realized during the people. Renaissance was the word used to describe the rebirths that occurred. Renaissance marked the time of significant changes in cultural, literature, philosophical, and art revolution in other nations in Europe (Kaufman, 2012). The change started in Italy and expanded to other areas in Europe. During the early Renaissance, the society had unique characteristics. However, after the occurrence of changes, contemporary society or the current society was developed. The contemporary society is also characterized by unique features compared to the early Renaissance. However, the two types of society are characterized by features that are similar, while others are different. This research is guided by a thesis statement indicating that similarities and differences between the two spread across all aspect of life, including the education system, cultural practices, and economic inventions, among others.
According to Guarnieri and Negro (2012), the difference in the two societies is marked by changes in the spread of knowledge whereby during the early renaissance society information was spread through handwritten forms. Renaissance left to the invention of the printing press. This also reformed the education system since in the ancient times, education was reserved for the rich people, but the rebirth led to the middle class and low classes are educated. This has led to early discoveries and the spread of information. Currently, society spread written material through online press whereby it reaches many people as compared to contemporary society. Renaissance has also facilitated the rise of Humanism. In the early Renaissance era, people were devoted to living a religious life. This was accompanied by fulfilling their spiritual purpose of life. In contemporary society, humanism raised such that people are now interested in filling their interests rather than religious demands. The modern society emphasize more on worldly presses as well as studied classic texts from scholars and philosophers such as Aristotle and Plato to obtain aspirating. People have developed an increased desire to travels and acquire knowledge (Kaufman, 2012).
The goal of the paper is to deeply study the two societies “to compare and contrast society during the early Renaissance in Europe to contemporary society.” To achieve this goal, the researcher will strive to meet various objectives, which include identifying characteristics of religious and cultural practices in early renaissance society and contemporary society. The study seeks to examine the changes in the education system between the two societies. The researcher will also determine the chan.
Futures, communication and social innovationMario Guillo
This paper presents the results of a comparative pilot study of images of the future in youngsters from 2 different European countries: Spain and Finland. The survey of two groups of university students -from both countries- tries to look into identified cultural values and the message sources that can influence the way we look at the (expected and desired) future.
The importance of this project, that has been developed using the web platform www.F212.org, a pilot project funded by FECYT (Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology), relies on the idea that communication and exchange of information about images of the future through social networks will empower new generations for facing the challenge of building a desired future.
