    Community Colleges and the Promise of Educational Opportunity in America, 1900-1985

    par Steven Brint, Jerome Karabel ...
    In the twentieth century, Americans have increasingly looked to the schools--and, in particular, to the nation's colleges and universities--as guardians of the cherished national ideal of equality of opportunity.

  • Habits of Inequality

    par Lorne Tepperman, Nina Gheihman ...
    British social reformer Robert Owen once declared that "man is the creature of circumstances." A century and a half later, his famous words still ring true. While many adopt a fatalist approach, believing that their lot in life is inevitable, in fact a number of highly complex social factors determine the outcome of our socioeconomic status and integration into society. It may seem unfair, but the ... En savoir plus

  • Cultural Evolution

    par Ronald F. Inglehart ...
    Cultural Evolution argues that people's values and behavior are shaped by the degree to which survival is secure; it was precarious for most of history, which encouraged heavy emphasis on group solidarity, rejection of outsiders, and obedience to strong leaders. For under extreme scarcity, xenophobia is realistic: if there is just enough land to support one tribe and another tribe tries to claim ... En savoir plus

  • Modernization, Cultural Change, and Democracy

    The Human Development Sequence

    par Ronald Inglehart, Christian Welzel ...
    This book demonstrates that people's basic values and beliefs are changing, in ways that affect their political, sexual, economic, and religious behaviour. These changes are roughly predictable: to a large extent, they can be interpreted on the basis of a revised version of modernisation theory presented here.

  • Moved to Action

    Motivation, Participation, and Inequality in American Politics

    par Hahrie C. Han ...
    Wealthy, educated, and more privileged people are more likely to participate and be represented in politics than their poorer, less educated, and less privileged counterparts. To reduce these inequalities, we need a better understanding of how the disadvantaged become motivated to participate.
