Trueman zeigt in diesem Buch auf verständliche Weise, welche Einflüsse unsere Kultur in die Richtung eines expressiven Individualismus bewegt haben.

When people dealt with dilemmas, issues, opinions, and decisions, their first question was “What is the truth in this situation?” Now people are concerned only with what they think, feel, and want.

Few things feel better than early love. We feel like we are flying.

What does a good prison look like? Over eleven million people are currently locked up in prisons across the world, but does that mean that prison actually works? Hindpal Singh Bhui, with 25 years’ experience of visiting and working in prisons worldwide, argues that we need to look at who is sent there and why, to disentangle reality from ideology and myth. Introducing the competing histories of prisons and allowing the voices of prisoners, prison staff and victims to be heard, he asks whether there is a better way to achieve what society wants from its prisons.

Mit seiner Schrift "Die Kernpunkte der sozialen Frage" aus dem Jahre 1919 reagiert Steiner auf die Krise des modernen Bewusstseins, die in den gesellschaftlichen Konflikten des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts sowie im Ersten Weltkrieg ihren destruktiven Ausdruck gefunden hat.

El Contrato Social, escrito por Rousseau en 1762, es un tratado político fundamental que defiende la idea de un contrato social basado en la voluntad general de la población. Rousseau argumenta que la soberanía debe residir en el pueblo y que los individuos deben someterse a la voluntad colectiva para preservar la libertad y la igualdad. La obra discute los conceptos de democracia directa, la importancia de la participación ciudadana y la necesidad de un gobierno legítimo basado en el consentimiento de la población.

Every year, millions of public school students are suspended. This overused punishment removes students from the classroom, but it does not improve their behavior. Instead, suspension disrupts their education, harming the students, their families, and their schools. Black students suffer most within this broken system, experiencing a far greater risk of school punishment and the significant harms that accompany it. Many activists and scholars have considered how school punishment increases racial inequity, but few have thought to ask why.

An exploration of forceful communication strategies and their application in society.

We live in an age of dazzling technological advancement. Every year brings breakthroughs that transform how we communicate, work, and live. From artificial intelligence to quantum computing, technology is leaping forward at an almost incomprehensible pace.

While our devices grow smarter, our societal structures remain riddled with inefficiencies and inequities.

In Liberal White Supremacy, Angie Beeman argues that white supremacy is maintained not only by right-wing conservatives or stereotypically uneducated working-class racial bigots but also by progressives who operate from a liberal ideology of color-blindness, racism-evasiveness, and class elitism. This distinction provides insight on divisions among progressives at the local level, in community organizations, and at the national level, in the Democratic Party.
