The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less Autonomy and Freedom of choice are critical to our well being, and choice is critical to freedom and autonomy. Nonetheless, though modern Americans have more choice than any group of people ever has before, and thus, presumably, more freedom and autonomy, we don't seem to be benefiting from it psychologically.—quoted from Ch.5, The Paradox of Choice, 2004 Schwartz's thesis[edit] Schwartz assembles his argument from a variety of fields of modern psychology that study how happiness is affected by success or failure of goal achievement. When we choose[edit] Schwartz compares the various choices that Americans face in their daily lives by comparing the selection of choices at a supermarket to the variety of classes at an Ivy League college. There are now several books and magazines devoted to what is called the "voluntary simplicity" movement. Schwartz maintains that it is precisely so that we can focus on our own wants that all of these choices emerged in the first place. How we choose[edit]

Social construction of schizophrenia Social Constructionism, a branch of sociology, queries commonly held views on the nature of reality, touching on themes of normality and abnormality within the context of power and oppression in societal structures. The concept of a social construction of schizophrenia denotes that the label of 'schizophrenia' is one that has been socially constructed through ideological systems, none of which are truly empirical especially as currently there is no definitive evidence as to the cause(s) of schizophrenia. Introduction[edit] In 1966, Berger and Luckman coined the term 'social constructionism' in their seminal work 'The Social Construction of Reality'. Schizophrenia is one such term that can be viewed as a social construction. Laing (1964) commented “the mad things done and said by the schizophrenic will remain essentially a closed book if one does not understand their existential context”.[3] Themes[edit] Philosophy[edit] Power and control[edit] The Self and Identity[edit] See also[edit]
07-24 Interview #WikiLeaks Cambodian Cables and Politics The following interview was conducted with a Cambodian American that the interviewer knows personally as someone who has written extensively on Cambodian issues and is a very active member of the Cambodian community in the United States and elsewhere. The interviewee asked to remain anonymous. The interviewee has seen two Cambodian wars in the 1970s and 1980s, and the 1997 coup, and returned to Cambodia to help it transition under UN led elections in the mid 1990s. Alexa O'Brien: For purpose of our discussion I would like for you to paint a broad stroke on Cambodia politics over the course the cable release, between 1994 to 2010. It covers a lot of ground, which of course we cannot completely cover. Source: Okay. Perhaps you could start off by giving me a general picture of the structure and climate right now in present day Cambodia. What I am trying to say is that when Westerners think of Cambodia is a more developing country, perhaps they look at what they see in the city. Yes.
The PA and PLO are flirting with irrelevancy Palestinian leadership may achieve recognition, but can it achieve independence? Middle Eastern analysts concerned with the Palestinian statehood bid have rightly highlighted the benefits conferred by such status. They assume, however, that the current Palestinian leadership is willing to take the necessary steps to lead Palestinians from statehood on paper to independence in practise. In the early 1990s, the Palestinian leadership supplanted its struggle for self-determination with a state-building project. In its narrow pursuit of a mandate to govern, it placed undue faith in the US' willingness, and arguably its ability, to pressure Israel to end its prolonged occupation, thus shunning a resistance platform. From statehood to independence The Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) has held observer status in the United Nations since 1974. Protect Palestinians, not the occupation Resistance, not compliance This pattern has been central to the Oslo process. Charting a new course
Boycotting fascism? During the last week angry young residents of Tel Aviv have been staging a sit-in, or, more accurately, a tent-in, along fashionable Rothschild Boulevard to protest their being priced out of the housing market in Israel's cultural and economic capital. The protests have drawn the attention of the Israeli and international media, with The Guardian even comparing the protesters to the pro-democracy revolutionaries in Egypt and other Arab countries. The protests might be new, but the process against which the tent-dwellers are protesting has been going on in Tel Aviv, like other world cities, for at least two decades. But until recently, the main victims of high housing prices weren't young middle-class Israeli Jews no longer able to afford to live close to the cultural and economic action in Tel Aviv, but poor Palestinian residents of Jaffa who were being pushed out by gentrification and had nowhere else to go. Of course, this argument was nonsense. From markets to boycotts?
