Understanding Social Change - Political Psychology in Poland
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. One cannot not communicate, says one axiom of Paul Watzlawick and emphasizes that everything we do and everything we leave is a message to ones counterpart. Where communication takes place, conflict is close. From minor misunderstandings to war, from communication refusal to communication overload: the combination of communication and conflict has different degrees of development.
Are you your own toughest critic? Learn to be good to yourself with this clear and compassionate guide. Do you set demanding standards for yourself? If so, a lot likely goes well in your life. You might earn compliments, admiration, or accomplishments. Your high standards and hard work pay off. But privately, you may feel like you're falling behind, faking it, or different from everybody else. Your eagle-eyed inner quality control inspector highlights every mistake. You try hard to avoid criticism, but criticise yourself. This is perfectionism. And for everyone who struggles with it, it's a misnomer: perfectionism isn't about striving to be perfect. It's about never feeling good enough. Dr E...
Unlock the door to personal power, happiness, achievement, and strength in any situation In The Science of Personal Power, renowned professor and persuasion expert Chris Lipp reveals how to bridge the science of inner well-being with the science of outer achievement by developing personal power—a concept that, when put into practice, is a panacea for both happiness and success.

When we feel big, we show up big, and when we show up big, we can change the world. This book offers a transformative approach to completely revamp every aspect of your life, st...
When Barack Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor to the US Supreme Court, his comments that a judge should have "the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African-American or gay, disabled, or old" caused a furor. Objective, reasoned, and impartial judgment were to be replaced by partiality, sentiment, and bias, critics feared. This concern about empathy has since been voiced not just by conservative critics, but by academics and public figures. In The Space Between, Heidi Maibom combines results from philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience to argue that rather than making us more biased or partial, empat...

Comprehensive and clearly organized, this is the first integrated theory-to-practice text on marketing's role in the political process. It incorporates insights and concepts drawn from the disciplines of Marketing, Psychology, and Political Science, and covers every aspect of marketing's infiltration into politics, including campaign strategy, market segmentation, and media strategy. Using examples and models drawn from countries around the globe, the authors elucidate the importance of political marketing techniques for the stability of democratic institutions. They also note the potential threats to democracy, especially the use of marketing techniques to manipulate voters at the subconscious level. They conclude with a set of normative do's and dont's for political marketing practice that strengthens civic education and democratic governance.

Cognitive Film and Media Ethics provides a grounding in the use of cognitive science to address key questions in film, television and screen media ethics. This book extends past works in cognitive media studies to answer normative and ethically prescriptive questions: what could make media morally good or bad, and what, then, are the respective responsibilities of media producers and consumers? Moss-Wellington makes a primary claim that normative propositions are a kind of rigour, in that they force media theorists to draw more active ought conclusions from descriptive is arguments. Cognitive Film and Media Ethics presents the rigours of normative reasoning, cognitive science and consequenti...
