Articles On Social Comment I never thought I would be saying this. All my life I have been pro-Jewish. Many of the people that have helped me in my life when I needed it were Jewish. I like their sense of humour and their cultural peculiarities. Most of all I love their deep intelligence. So much of the world has been shaped by Jewish scientific and creative minds. Now I am in a dilemma. How can I conscience what they are doing to the Arab people and maintain my affection?? Why American Domestic Politics affects Us All At the moment, in order to buy oil, which unfortunately we are all addicted to, we must buy US dollars. We can either do that by selling things to them for US dollars, or by buying their currency directly from them. This means we must trade with the US whether it is within our own interests as a country, or not. To the Australian People-An Industrial Reform Warning from Aotearoa In 1996 I moved from NSW to New Zealand for personal reasons. One of the first things that struck me was how depressed and beaten down were the people I met on a daily basis. There was a culture that said there was no point in attempting to change things because no matter what you say, the government goes ahead and does what it wants to for big business anyway. The Sexual Revolution and Its Aftermath. I was born in 1947, so most of my formative years where spent in the boom of the 50's. The world wanted to replace its dead of two horrific wars, so the concept of family life quickly replaced the ideology of 'fighting for your country' as the way of being that was most encouraged. But we had all experienced a great deal in those wars, and though women were expected to go back to the kitchen and men to the shop floor, we wanted more than our parents had required to do our part. "We live in Interesting Times" "We live in interesting times. Old Chinese blessings wished that we might never have to live in times such as these. But here we are! These times have been prophesied from the beginning, by seers of many different persuasions. They saw them in all kinds of pictorial ways that fitted their world-views. Trains appeared 1 like fiery monsters streaming across the face of the land. Aeroplanes seemed like mighty birds. All were very clear though, that there would come a time when the Earth would scarcely be livable and that war would rule." "Mostly psychological sciences do not address social change in any great way. There’s a reason for this. Firstly, Psychology as a subject is nebulous and subjective and therefore very open to derision in an overly objective world. As a result, most of the proponents of psychological thought have been very conscious of acceptability and, in my opinion, have sacrificed the potential to make a big difference to Society in order to be approved of by it." "This is an outpouring of sadness and anger around the authors own relationship with the U.S.A. and the results of its post war policies". "Thanks to Sigmund Freud, we have been taught for decades that sex is the greatest urge motivating us. There is no doubt the need for survival is a huge factor running throughout our Psyche, and sex along with money meets that need in different ways. A deep urge that overrules these two however, in all species, is the urge towards growth and balance." People who come to a therapist are very rarely happy. It stands to reason, that if they were they would be spending their money on whatever it is that is contributing to that. One thing that is common among those that do come is that they want change. Oddly enough, most hope that can occur with no disruption to whatever it is that has caused them to be uncomfortable in the first place. Therapy has come to be the last ditch stand that hopefully will solve it all because this trained person has all the solutions to whatever ails the situation.
