Book Description
Outside Influences takes a refreshing stance on life’s journey to address the dynamic forces swirling around outside that affect the direction and ultimate meaning of people’s lives. Life’s journeys are a mosaic of experiences, encounters, interactions, and ideas. What happens on those journeys makes up the stuff of life and determines the outcome of the adventure. But most of what has been written about the journey, life, and success deals only with internal factors people can influence. In Outside Influences, serial entrepreneur Adam Ginsberg finally acknowledges and includes the myriad of outside factors that also contribute to the meaning of people’s lives. Adam shows that the elegant, complex choreography of inside and outside forces is not something to be feared, but something to be acknowledged and understood, with more than sixty catalytic concepts to stimulate thinking, stretch readers’ minds, and help people calibrate the healthy tension between where they are and where they want to be. Not just about gaining plain old success, Outside Influences guides readers to coming to peace with the contradictions so apparent in life. Readers learn to understand what is happening when the idiosyncrasies of the system manifest themselves and appreciate the bounty or cope with the challenges and, ultimately, achieve new levels of success.

External Influences and the Educational Landscape
Author: Alexander Krauss
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461449367
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
While the analysis is not the first to investigate empirically the effects of different individual or household factors on school access and completion of Ghanaians, it extends previous work by simultaneously incorporating individual, household, community, regional and national characteristics and also illustrates the latest evidence by applying international data sources and unusually detailed household survey data for a sub-Saharan country. Its focus is threefold: (i) gaining a richer understanding of which external influences hinder educational access and attainment in Ghana, (ii) how to better tackle these challenges and (iii) analyzing how educational development affects the country‘s overall development. An interview with the Minister of Education helps guide the policy orientation of the analysis by identifying several critical challenges and areas of needed policy attention. Findings from the data analysis indicate that the geographic divide between the North and South, increased economic growth, demographic pressure and a number of individual, household and community factors especially children‘s nutritional and labour status are the most important challenges in increasing levels of education among Ghanaians in years to come. Finally, the analysis pilots a new and comprehensive results- and capacity-focused policy matrix to help the Government of Ghana realign policy priorities and reform existing programs. To this end, respective policy levers on the demand- and supply-side are discussed, with particular reference to external and demand-side interventions which have not received the necessary attention at the policy-level to improve educational opportunities and outcomes at all levels.

Individual and Collective Memory Consolidation
Author: Thomas J. Anastasio
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262544008
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
An argument that individuals and collectives form memories by analogous processes and a case study of collective retrograde amnesia. We form individual memories by a process known as consolidation: the conversion of immediate and fleeting bits of information into a stable and accessible representation of facts and events. These memories provide a version of the past that helps us navigate the present and is critical to individual identity. In this book, Thomas Anastasio, Kristen Ann Ehrenberger, Patrick Watson, and Wenyi Zhang propose that social groups form collective memories by analogous processes. Using facts and insights from neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and history, they describe a single process of consolidation with analogous—not merely comparable—manifestations on any level, whether brain, family, or society. They propose a three-in-one model of memory consolidation, composed of a buffer, a relator, and a generalizer, all within the consolidating entity, that can explain memory consolidation phenomena on individual and collective levels. When consolidation is disrupted by traumatic injury to a brain structure known as the hippocampus, memories in the process of being consolidated are lost. In individuals, this is known as retrograde amnesia. The authors hypothesize a "social hippocampus" and argue that disruption at the collective level can result in collective retrograde amnesia. They offer the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) as an example of trauma to the social hippocampus and present evidence for the loss of recent collective memory in mainland Chinese populations that experienced the Cultural Revolution.
