In the Middle East, turmoil has spread quickly. Oppression, inequality, and violence have been keyed in to the very makeup of its society. But what causes a culture to emerge and prosper or stagnate and fail? How can the people take charge of their own inalienable rights to growth, freedom, and life--to keep from backsliding into the grasp of old, unhealthy ideologies? In Elza Maalouf's groundbreaking new book Emerge! The Rise of Functional Democracy in the Middle East, we are introduced to a new paradigm for governance based on Clare Graves' theory of Spiral Dynamics. Where the West's approach has failed due to lack of memetic understanding, Maalouf's succeeds by placing democracy in an evolutionary, values-system context specific to unique, Middle Eastern characteristics. Not only does Emerge ask us to seek understanding before we structure and create, it shows us the necessity of teaching our youth to build their own sustainable, indigenous constructs.

Explaining how the planet’s myriad crises are actually the birth pangs of a new Earth, this inspired exploration is Barbara Marx Hubbard’s prophetic call for a planetary shift.

Este es un libro que muestra la relevancia del enfoque evolutivo cultural, reconociendo que los modelos lineales tradicionales no son capaces de dar cuenta de la complejidad cultural actual. Basados en las condiciones de vida imperantes hoy en Chile, Fernández y Reyes perfilan la complejidad adaptativa humana vmeméticamente, usando el concepto de value meme, relevando aquellos activos dentro de la sociedad chilena e interpretando el conflicto actual como la emergencia de sistemas adaptativos de pensamiento que están colisionando con el dominante, cada uno con su propio conjunto de prioridades, valores y estilos de liderazgo. Solo al liberar nuestras mentes de las viejas formas de ver y pensar, especialmente de los estereotipos, lograremos nuestra propia adaptación a pensar de forma diferente, que es lo que la nueva complejidad cultural global y local demanda de nosotros.
The term “vMEME” (the superscript “v” is for “value”) refers to a core value system expressed through a culture’s memes, i.e., its ideas, habits, and cultural preferences and practices that spread from person to person. In MEMEnomics Said E. Dawlabani reframes our economic history and the future of capitalism through the unique prism of a culture’s value systems. Focusing on the long-term effects of economic policies on society, he expands psychologist Clare W. Graves’ concepts of the hierarchical nature of human development and the theories of value systems of Beck and Cowan’s Spiral Dynamics. He presents our economic history in terms of the hierarchy of five of the eight value-systems or vMEMEs of human existence that we can now identify. These new value preferences emerge as people interact with their environment to solve the problems of their “life conditions.”
Wann ist der Mann ein Mann? Macho, Held, Patriarch - die Rollenmodelle von gestern kommen heute nicht mehr gut an. Der Softie als Gegenentwurf kann auch nicht wirklich überzeugen - die Männlichkeit ist in der Krise. Kein Wunder, denn es gibt nicht nur eine Männlichkeit. Ein Streifzug durch die kulturelle Evolution zeigt: Von der Steinzeit bis in die Postmoderne entfaltet sich eine ganze Stufenfolge von Männlichkeits-Bildern, die auch heute noch in jedem Mann lebendig sind - der Naturbursche genauso wie der harte Kämpfer, der Ehrenmann ebenso wie der Macher oder der Feingeist. Und die alten Mannsbilder haben längst nicht ausgedient. Nehmen wir das Beste aus allen Epochen zusammen, dann wird ein zukunftsfähiger Männertyp sichtbar: Ein Ganzer Mann, der geerdete Körperlichkeit mit modernem Intellekt verbindet, gesunde Aggression mit Einfühlungsvermögen und Verantwortlichkeit. Das Buch macht verständlich, warum der Mann heute so orientierungslos dasteht, und entwirft die Grundlagen für ein Persönlichkeitswachstum hin zum Ganzen Mann.
Nouvelle édition du livre de référence sur le modèle titre. Tout individu, organisation ou société se réfère et s'identifie à un système de références (valeurs, critères, pensées, etc.) qui détermine ses comportements et ses possibilités d'adaptation. Le modèle Spirale Dynamique identifie ces systèmes de référence. Il permet de comprendre comment chacun se positionne dans des contextes aussi divers que la famille, l'entreprise, les communautés, etc. Il permet également de découvrir quelles sont les possibilités de changement et d'évolution d'un individu ou d'un groupe à partir de sa position initiale. Le passage d'un système à d'autre décrit une spirale, d'où le nom du modèle. Pour faciliter la compréhension du modèle, il a été attribué une couleur à chaque système de valeurs ou niveau.
