The document discusses how evolutionary forces have shaped human history and geography in a complex interconnection. It argues that Tom Wolfe is wrong in his views on evolution. Additionally, it warns that human ingenuity must act responsibly given the evidence of global warming such as melting Greenland and rising sea levels threatening coastal areas. The main goal is to demonstrate the relationship between nature, evolution, and human history.
Therapeutic Society
This document provides an abstract and overview for a presentation analyzing the evolution of a therapeutic society. The presentation seeks to: (a) analyze the 'therapeutic paradigm' of a culture that commoditizes wellbeing; and (b) on the cusp of societal changes that shape human behaviors with unintended consequences. A key focus is on how obsolescence breeds perpetual needs for consumption, compulsion and conflict in a transient culture. The presentation argues that a 'theory of therapeutic culture' is needed to illustrate the dialectics of madness and wellbeing, and to explore pathways to overcome angst in a new civilization.

This document summarizes an article that discusses the continued crisis of men in America, as represented by Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" comment and the appeal of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders to the poor and working class. It argues that class divisions and a "white trash" underclass have existed in America for over 400 years and discusses how poverty, inequality, and the "culture of poverty" perspective have shaped social discourse. The article advocates for a critical social theory approach to better understand the sociology of inequality and the perpetuation of class divisions in America.

Environmental toxicity has become a hallmark of cultural and physical decline according to the editorial. While its impacts transcend borders, Bhutan stands out as a rare example of hope as an isolated, peaceful country. The document goes on to discuss how fracking has been linked to earthquakes in several US states, showing how human activities can lead to global catastrophe. It introduces the journal's goal to examine the intersection of development and morality through local, regional, and global case studies. Finally, it announces an upcoming international conference on social transformations and invites submissions for a thematic issue exploring new approaches to environmental and social psychology.
Future o fsocialwork
1. The document discusses the future of social work in light of emerging technological changes and a transforming culture.
2. It argues that the nature of "social" and "work" will change as artificial intelligence transforms service delivery and patterns of human development. This will fundamentally change social institutions and the welfare state.
3. The future of social work is uncertain but social workers must prepare for change and the field may evolve to become more effective, less visible, and involve both public and private enterprises instead of government intervention. Personal relationships and community help will be restructured.
Future o fsocialwork
On the cusp of ‘fourth revolution’, a new techno-dependent culture is emerging out of the ashes of a feudal-industrial society. However, the specter of change is fraught with ambiguities of hope. This presentation explores problems and possibilities that social work practice and education confront to adjust to and escape from realities transforming i) nature of ‘social’ and ‘work’’, ii) artificial intelligence and delivery of services; and iii) patterns of human-social development.

Aryans ofEURASIA
Brij Mohan summarizes Harsh Mahaan Cairae's book "An Aryan Journey", which traces the evolution and spread of Aryan culture from Central Asia across Eurasia. The book uses excerpts from Vedic literature to argue that Aryans originally lived in the Arctic Circle and helped develop one of the earliest civilizations. It examines how Aryan culture and religion influenced other groups like the Zoroastrians and was manifested in traditions like the Vedas, Hinduism, and Buddhism. However, the book lacks organizational elements like titles, tables of contents, and indexes that could have enhanced its analysis of this important topic in human cultural evolution.

Abstract3rdIASWC
Brij Mohan delivered a keynote address at the 3rd National Indian Social Work Congress on transforming social work to better align with current social realities. In the address, he examines three aspects of social work that need reexamination: the mission of social work, educational infrastructure for social work, and how social work services are delivered and funded. He argues that for social work to remain a legitimate and needed profession, its structure must change to be congruent with today's cultural, social, economic and political realities. A new framework of social practice is proposed to help social work achieve sustainable peace, prosperity and progress in a global community.

This document provides a review of the book "Review of Development, Poverty of Culture, and Social Policy" by Brij Mohan. The book refutes that poverty is solely an economic issue and rejects the idea that poverty is based on culture. It offers new ways to understand poverty in order to build a future that can overcome it. The book contains 15 chapters divided into three parts examining the culture of development, the mind of darkness, and transformative social policy. It argues that prevailing theories of development have failed and offers the concept of the "Poverty of Culture" as a new framework for understanding inequality. The reviewer recommends the book for those interested in connecting ideas across disciplines to address social issues beyond traditional approaches.
