Radovan Richta Czech philosopher Radovan Richta (June 6, 1924 – July 21, 1983) was a Czech philosopher who coined the term technological evolution; a theory about how societies diminish physical labour by increasing mental labour.[1] Richta was born in Prague.[1] Richta's first work was Člověk a technika v revoluci našich dnů ("Man and Technology in the Revolution of Our Day"), published in 1963. Richta developed the famous term of "Socialism with a human face" serving as a motto of the Prague Spring period. Life[edit] During World War II, Richta organized a resistance movement against the Nazis, and his organization became part of the communist resistance in the critical moment of the worst persecution (or man-hunting). After the war Richta became quite ill, and beginning in 1958 he periodically spent time in sanatoria.[6] In between bouts of sickness, and in a compromise with his doctors who prescribed complete bed rest, Richta studied and worked very hard.

Goffman-La presentacion de la persona en la vida cotidiana Goffman – Lapresentación de la persona en la vida cotidiana 1. Actuaciones Confianza en el papel que desempeña el individuo Cuando u individuo desempeña un papel, solicita implícitamente a sus observadores que lo tomen en serio, que crean que el sujeto posee en realidad los atributos que aparenta poseer, que la tarea que realiza tendrá las consecuencias que en forma implícita pretende y que, en general, las cosas son como aparentan ser. El actuante puede creer por completo en sus propios actos. El actuante puede querer guiar la convicción de su público solo como medio para otros fines, sin un interés fundamental en la concepción que de el o de la situación tiene este. No todos los actuantes cínicos que tienen interés por engañar a su auditorio tienen un “interés por si mismo”, puede engañarlo en bien de este (médicos que dan placebos a los pacientes). Hasta aquí 2 extremos: un individuo puede creer en sus propios actos o ser escéptico acerca de ellos. Fachada Realización dramática 1. 2. 3.

Why the Hacks Hate Michael Hastings One can’t doubt that the American objective in Iraq has failed. Clearly this long-haired Buckley fellow is a defeatist and ought to be ignored. Perhaps he submitted the essay in question to Rolling Stone before running it in his own magazine? Hastings refers to “the doomed offensive in Marja,” which makes it sound as though the Taliban repulsed us, when we took actually took the city (although the Taliban is still carrying out attacks). Hastings may have chosen the term “doomed” because the offensive eventually led to a problematic occupation which McChrystal himself terms an “ulcer,” due to its not having achieved what it was meant to achieve. Boot also notes how the experts quoted by Hastings are all critical of the war. … except, of course, for Gen. All of which underlines the poor judgment in giving this guy such access. Here, finally, Lowry has hit upon a valid point. Seriously, though, look at the ads in National Review some time.
