Описание:
This book looks at how society has arrived at this point today and determines the mechanisms used to justify stances and social behaviour. What degree of freedom can most people really expect in life, does society only evolve through unintentional consequences, and is it driven by emotion rather than intellect? It asks questions about what really determines society's ethics and free choices and does human psychology play a more significant part in social cohesion than rational thought?
The early twenty-first century is witnessing a society that despite amelioration in living standards compared with earlier times is seeing a rise in disenchantment. Today, values are portrayed as composing of traditional ethics based on national pride and moral duty juxtaposed to ethical pluralism resulting from social change and the influx of multiple belief systems. Traditional democratic values originated from the Enlightenment and seeds within it encouraged individualism, and the pursuit of freedom of choice that propelled Western values around the world to create global capitalism, which in turn invited the rest of the world to exert their own human rights and ethnicity. The philosophy and politics behind postmodernity are discussed and related to the real activities of people. The principles and ideas behind authentic living, wellbeing and human rights that have been used to open up the UK for business are also reviewed.
The impact of technology, cultural prejudices, disenchantment and the lack of reform in political institutions to reflect the demands from a changing demographic are assessed. The methods of control are shifting from direct duty based law enforcement to a mixture of nonintrusive and open persuasions with materialistic inducement to direct the individual to choose life choices that are hoped will maintain social cohesion. Deception oils the wheels to allow effective political control and pragmatic decision-making.
Life in the UK has been stable relative to the rest of the world and gives the opportunity to see how humans from many cultural and social backgrounds live under a long established political-economic model. The true nature or makeup of humanity is reviewed to explain how biological functioning and upbringing affect behaviour. The evidence presented here does seem to indicate that the hope for a multicultural society now seems forlorn along with the expectation that postmodernity would result in a classless society. Assessment in society goes on all the time. Someone is always interested in your identity, whether it is socially or officially. Social distinction still matters but it is becoming a worldwide distinction as the poor and menial labour are differentiated and exploited to provide cheap services for an empowered professional class.
As finitude becomes more of a serious concern should scientific progress, in particular, regarding medical and healthcare be allowed to continue unabated allowing age expectancy to rise thus effectively swelling the global population while at the same time creating unprecedented disparity in the number of young to old, which puts a heavy burden on resources required to support the old so hampering the revitalising of society and limiting the choice for younger generations.
Finally, the idea of establishing semi-autonomous city states to split the global free market economy from the rest of society is muted as a solution to accommodate the desire to protect the rest of society from severe financial downturns and excesses seen to date. A comprehensive appendix contains material on factors that influence how opinions are acquired or justified. Information is provided regarding human power structures, behaviour and natural or deliberate deceptions. This material has been included to illuminate the difficulty involved in making rational assessments and to help make better judgments in a deliberately confusing world

Описание:
A work of fiction, this is the telling of the story of a man that got on his bike and searched out a better life.
Within the backdrop of the trials and trepidations of changing morals and manners in a world plunged into globalisation and compliance to the governance of the free market, from humble beginnings Martin Harding is a figure in the landscape wondering what he had lacked to slow down the maddening velocity that propelled him through life. His zest for a better life breaking bonds that tie people together, resulting in painful repercussions in later life when help would be required.
There are winners and losers in life. It is unfair but nature is not sentimental while God never promised heaven on earth. Everyone has known friends who have gone off the radar, disappeared, never heard off again. Did they reach their promised land or did fate divert them. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time is a throw of the dice unforeseeable by Man. Old friends are forgotten, presumed lost.
A remindful depiction of how the fabric that holds society together can rapidly fall away allowing primeval forces to surface.
"On the morning of his departure, he got up, had breakfast, washed, dressed, looked in the hallway mirror, half smiled, and with butterflies in the stomach opened the front door and left. Once on the road, there would be no turning back. Goodbyes had been said and all his wealth exchanged for goods required for a long expedition to head into the world in the search for a better life..."

Описание:
Steve Crow is an uncomplicated egregious man who thanks to the exertions of others has somehow become a sought after man in the community. Failure never perturbs him as he has a firm belief that he lives in a land of easy opportunity with bountiful pickings. His success is all due to a gregarious roguish persona making him instantly likeable to anyone seeking hedonistic fun; helping him to open doors to enjoy the labours of others and partake in the good things in life without experiencing the disadvantages that can be associated with them. The path he follows always leads to riches and never takes him back from where he came.
The veneer of civilisation cloaks his activities as he travels through all milieus in search for someone or something to exploit. Observing the banality and self-delusion that lies behind most social behaviour, he maximises his personal gain at the expense of anyone seeking reassurance. A telling tale about how the right instincts and traits can allow someone to succeed no matter the circumstances or the absurdity of the risk-taking to achieve intuitive self-serving goals.
Individuals with a complete disregard for everything deemed civilised can thrive and do accomplish their dreams with the connivance or the mutual benefit of others. They seek out fragile people by instinct and are indifferent to the chaos they leave in their wake. It is about the silliness that some people get away with and the pain others bring upon themselves. This is a reminder that unless forcibly stopped or deterred from exploiting the beneficence of individuals or society amoral people will exploit everything for their own ends.
This is a story about such a reprobate and his women.
