Into The Forest For Children With Feelings Of Anxiety

The World of Goods

The World of Goods

It is well-understood that the consumption of goods plays an important symbolic role in the way human beings communicate create identity and establish relationships. What is less well-known is that the pattern of their flow shapes society in fundamental ways. In this book the renowned anthropologist Mary Douglas and economist Baron Isherwood overturn arguments about consumption that rely on received economic and psychological explanations. They ask new questions about why people save why they spend what they buy and why they sometimes-but not always-make fine distinctions about quality. Instead of regarding consumption as a private means of satisfying one’s preferences they show how goods are a vital information system used by human beings to fulfill their intentions towards one another. They also consider the implications of the social role of goods for a new vision for social policy arguing that poverty is caused as much by the erosion of local communities and networks as it is by lack of possessions and contrast small-scale with large-scale consumption in the household. A radical rethinking of consumerism inequality and social capital The World of Goods is a classic of economic anthropology whose insights remain compelling and urgent. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Richard Wilk. Forget that commodities are good for eating clothing and shelter; forget their usefulness and try instead the idea that commodities are good for thinking. – Mary Douglas and Baron Isherwood

Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism

Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism

After lives filled with deep suffering 74 billion animals are slaughtered worldwide every year on factory farms. Is it wrong to buy the products of this industry? In this book two college students – a meat-eater and an ethical vegetarian – discuss this question in a series of dialogues conducted over four days. The issues they cover include: how intelligence affects the badness of pain whether consumers are responsible for the practices of an industry how individual choices affect an industry whether farm animals are better off living on factory farms than not existing at all whether meat-eating is natural whether morality protects those who cannot understand morality whether morality protects those who are not members of society whether humans alone possess souls whether different creatures have different degrees of consciousness why extreme animal welfare positions sound crazy and the role of empathy in moral judgment. The two students go on to discuss the vegan life why people who accept the arguments in favor of veganism often fail to change their behavior and how vegans should interact with non-vegans. A foreword by Peter Singer introduces and provides context for the dialogues and a final annotated bibliography offers a list of sources related to the discussion. It offers abstracts of the most important books and articles related to the ethics of vegetarianism and veganism. Key Features: Thoroughly reviews the common arguments on both sides of the debate. Dialogue format provides the most engaging way of introducing the issues. Written in clear conversational prose for a popular audience. Offers new insights into the psychology of our dietary choices and our responsibility for influencing others. | Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism
