Social Character in a Mexican Village - A Sociopsychoanalytic Study

Erich Fromm

Summary

“[A] groundbreaking study combining psychoanalytical and anthropological methods to analyse the impact of industrialization on ‘peasants.’” —Booknews The renowned psychoanalyst Erich Fromm analyzed more than just general society and societal processes. Together with Michael Maccoby, he completed a study of Mexican villagers to empirically illustrate how historical, economic, and social requirements determine behavior.Social Character in a Mexican Village does much more than introduce a new approach to the analysis of social phenomena. It throws new light on one of the world’s most pressing problems, the impact of the industrialized world on the traditional character of the laboring class. Unanimously, the book is an outstanding introduction to Fromm’s concept of social character. “Fromm and Maccoby have written a study of crucial importance.” —Richard J. Barnet, Institute for Policy Studies

Anglo-Saxons for Kids: A...

Captivating History

Embark on an exciting journey to the past to meet the Anglo-Saxons!
The Anglo-Saxons were people from Northern Germany who came to Britain in waves and quickly established their own kingdoms between the time of the Romans and the Normans. At first glance, it may seem like the Anglo-Saxons did not contribute much to British history. They didn’t even have a writing system until Christian missionaries arrived!
So, why are the Anglo-Saxons so important to British history? Some people may think of this time as a dark time full of feuding kings. Although there were a lot of kings and plenty of fighting, the Anglo-Saxons also laid the foundation for modern English society. They created the structure needed to form one country out of different tribes. When the Normans took over in 1066, they built on top of Anglo-Saxon social and political structures.
For years, people have focused on leaders like King Alfred the Great or events like the Norman Conquest. But the Anglo-Saxons were more than just a few leaders or events. They structured a nation that would go on to conquer vast swaths of the modern world, and their ingenuity still structures life as we know it today.
It’s time to sail back into history and learn about the many facets of the Anglo-Saxons. In this new and captivating history audiobook, you’ll learn what made the Anglo-Saxons special and how they still shape our lives today.
Here are some of the questions you will uncover in this audiobook:
Was King Arthur real?
What made Wessex so special?
Which Germanic tribes came to Britain as the Anglo-Saxons?
Who was St. Augustine?

STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, born Steven James Anderson, is a multi-faceted American figure known as a media personality, actor, producer, and retired professional wrestler. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, achieving prominence during the WWF's "Attitude Era". His wrestling career began in 1989, transitioning from a technical wrestler to a brawler after a neck injury. Austin's "Stone Cold" persona is characterized by anti-authority defiance, middle-finger taunts, and the use of his signature "Stone Cold Stunner" finishing move. He won multiple championships including six WWF Championships and is a three-time Royal Rumble winner. Beyond wrestling, Austin has appeared in numerous films and hosted several reality television shows.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
Steve Austin's real name is Steven James Anderson, but he later legally changed his name to Steven James Williams after being adopted by his stepfather, and then to Steve Austin later in life. He has also used the ring names "The Ringmaster", "Stunning" Steve Austin", and "Superstar" Steve Austin.
Austin's parents divorced when he was about a year old, and his mother moved to Edna, Texas, where he spent most of his childhood. He has a younger sister and three brothers, with one brother being less than a year younger, leading Austin to speculate their father left due to not wanting another child so soon.
Austin's first wrestling events were produced by Houston Wrestling and run by Paul Boesch, and he fell in love with wrestling when he was seven or eight years old. He stated that all he ever wanted to be was a professional wrestler.
