“By bringing current events into the classroom, everyday discussion, and social media, maybe we don’t need to wait for our grandchildren’s questions to remind us we should have paid more attention to current events.” NeedsShouldSocialWaitingAttentionMediaEventsShould HavePaidEverydayCurrentsSocial MediaDiscussionClassroomGrandchildrenCurrent Events Author:Adora Svitak
“If you complain of people being shot down in the streets, of the absence of communication or social responsibility, of the rise of everyday violence which people have become accustomed to, and the dehumanization of feelings, then the ultimate development on an organized social level is the concentration camp... The concentration camp is the final expression of human separateness and its ultimate consequence. It is organized abandonment.” PeopleIfsHumansFeelingsSocialLevelsResponsibilityViolenceStreetsExpressionCommunicationDevelopmentShotsConsequenceUltimateEverydayFinalsAbsenceComplainingOrganizedConcentrationCampsSocial ResponsibilityAccustomedAbandonmentConcentration CampSeparatenessDehumanization Author:Arthur Miller
“Only a work democracy can create the foundation of genuine freedom. Long experience in sociological disputes leads me to expect that a great many people will take offense at the disclosure of this miscalculation. It makes the highest demands on people's will to veracity; it puts a heavy burden on everyday living; it places all social responsibility on those who work, be it in the factory, in the office, on the farm, in the laboratory, or wherever.” PeopleLongSocialResponsibilityDemocracyDemandOfficeHighestFoundationEverydayBurdenHeavyGenuineGreat MenFarmsFactoriesOffenseSocial ResponsibilityDisputesLaboratoryLeading MeDisclosureSociologicalVeracityHeavy BurdensMiscalculationsEveryday Living Author:Wilhelm Reich

“The widespread inability to understand technological artifacts as fabricated entities, as social and cultural phenomena, derives from the fact that in retrospect only those technologies that prove functional for a culture and can be integrated into everyday life are 'left over.' However, the perception of what is functional, successful and useful is itself the product of social and cultural--and last but not least--political and economic processes. Selection processes and abandoned products and product forms are usually not discussed.” FactsLastsFormPoliticalCultureLeftSocialProcessTechnologySuccessfulEconomicProductsProvePerceptionEverydayAbandonedEntityTechnologicalEveryday LifeSelectionInabilityIntegratedRetrospectArtifacts Author:Johannes Grenzfurthner
“Central to Jungian psychology is the concept of "individuation," the process whereby a person discovers and evolves his Self, as opposed to his ego. The ego is a persona, a mask created and demanded by everyday social interaction, and, as such, it constitutes the center of our conscious life, our understanding of ourselves through the eyes of others. The Self, on the other hand, is our true center, our awareness of ourselves without outside interference, and it is developed by bringing the conscious and unconscious parts of our minds into harmony.” MindPersonsSelfHandsEyeSocialProcessUnderstandingPsychologyAwarenessEgoConsciousConceptsHarmonyEverydayEvolveUnconsciousMaskInteractionPersonaInterferenceThrough The EyesSocial InteractionIndividuationConscious And Unconscious Author:Morris Berman
