    "2007-08 Citizenship Survey: Empowered Communities Topic Report 02/11/2009 Using 2007-08 Citizenship Survey data, this report provides an in-depth examination of community empowerment: whether people feel they can influence local and national decisions; whether they would like to be more involved in decision making; what would make it easier to influence decision making; and how people would influence decisions if they wanted to. It also looks at people's trust in institutions and what activities people actually take part in (civic activism, civic consultation, civic participation and volunteering). It is one of a series of annual reports from the 2007-08 Citizenship Survey. Other reports cover Volunteering and Charitable Giving, Identity and Values, Community Cohesion and Race, Religion and Equalities."

(Re)Think Big: How to Redefine Your Organization's Mission : Managing :: American Expre... - 0 views

    "People start businesses for lots of reasons, but as the business evolves so, too, may your goals. Are you simply trying to create an incredible product, or are you hoping to effect a larger societal change? As we learn more about our customers' and clients' needs, we often start to reconsider our original objectives. If you're finding yourself in this position, it may be time to revisit your original mission statement. Having a solid (and up-to-date) vision of what you want to accomplish will keep your decision-making on course, and, ultimately, help you get your company to where you want it to be. "

      There are plenty of other settings, institutions and situations where people can very quickly adapt behaviourally and to play out according to pre-defined roles, rules, conditions and expectations. And even though a negative impact is not the intent, the repercussions are felt and manifested ;-(

Finding Connections: How Do the Parts of the Brain Interact?: Scientific American - 0 views

  •  
    As our understanding of the brain has improved, however, it has become clear that a more accurate model depends on how these modules are wired together in circuits. A technique called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) gives us a tool to probe the nature of those connections. A recent study suggests, for instance, that the more a person seeks out new experiences and relies on social approval, the stronger his or her wiring is among brain areas involved in reward, emotion and decision making.

ChangeThis :: Self, and Importance. A Call to Reflection and Action - 0 views

  • "When we align ourselves with the opinions of others without examination, we are robbing ourselves of the opportunity to analyze our own preferences and desires, to determine our own solutions. We miss the chance to review the criteria others are utilizing, to question their biases and seek our own inspiration. In stunting the development of our own individual perspectives and initiatives, we trap ourselves in lives that appear to be predestined, and deny the possibility of realizing our personal potential."

The Smashing Book: Join In! | Events | Smashing Magazine - 0 views

  • No, we’re not giving anything away in this post. Instead, we’ve got some work to do, and we need you to play an important role in it. Our most interesting (and important) project for 2009 is something we are modestly calling “The Smashing Book”: a smashingly written, beautifully designed and professionally printed book. It will be created by and for the Web design community. Four key decisions have already been made: the book’s title will be “The Smashing Book”; it will be a paperback; the price is fixed, as is the release date, which is early September 2009.
