Psychological Aspects of Social Axioms: Understanding Global Belief Systems
ISBN: 9780387098098 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Humans are surrounded by trillions of stimuli. Their eyes, for instance, can discriminate 7,500,000 colors. But, there is a severe limitation in the number of discriminably different stimuli that they can process at one time. George Miller argued that they can handle no more than seven, plus or minus two independent pieces of information at any given time. Thus, necessarily they must develop ways to simplify the task of processing the information that exists in their environment. They do this in many ways. One way is to select the stimuli that are most imp- tant in their lives, what are often...

Hybrid Hong Kong
ISBN: 9780415695541 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hybrid Hong Kong attempts to attract and excite the intellectual, cultural, economic and political elites as well as the intelligent laymen of Hong Kong - hopefully enough for them to take a closer look at their society - while engendering a public discourse on the city's identity, its past, present and future. Hong Kong is at its crossroads. With a colonial past and having been handed over, and back, to China in 1997, the city has since been going through a process of re-sinification and re-integration (not entirely wanted) into the Pearl River Delta region of mainland China, all of which...

Incorporating research carried out over the last twenty years, this book documents the personal and collective responses of Chinese migrants and refugees to the prejudice and discrimination they have experienced.

Coping with a Spoiled Self
ISBN: 9783639146455 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Despite the increasing concern over Asian delinquency in Canada, there is a paucity of research in this area. This book reports a qualitative study on the experiences of Asian youth in the criminal justice system. Analyses support that negative self image is one of the key factors for offending. Contrary to general belief, leaving an Asian youth gang is less difficult than anticipated and these youth are committed to conventional norms of society regardless of their level of criminal involvement. These analyses inform policy makers and provide practical information for social workers,...

ISBN: 9780415697989 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book brings together a group of scholars from diverse disciplines to interrogate everyday life events in various interpersonal and organizational contexts so as to answer an age-old question: what happens when (carriers of) cultures meet, or, when East meets West? The contributors to this volume argue that, rather than assume clashes of civilizations, assimilation, conversion and essentialism to be the expected outcomes of cultural encounters, we should focus our analytical attention on processes rather than outcomes; on emergence, dialectics, contradictions, ironies and paradoxes, and...

East-West Identities: Globalization, Localization, and Hybridization
ISBN: 9789004151697 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. While the economic forces shaping globalization are powerful and seemingly getting stronger, they are not immutable, nor are their effects predictable or necessarily overwhelming. Contributors to this book are optimistic that the socio-cultural formations of the future, such as cultural hybridity and cosmopolitanism, will be a viable option for constructing new or renewed global communities of migrants around the world. It is with these tools that migrants are best equipped to navigate the raging torrents of globalization in the new millennium of a post-postmodern era. Globalization brings...
