    In society today most values and beliefs reflect the values of beliefs of Puritanism. Without these values and beliefs America would be nothing close to what it is today.

    Scientology

    • 622 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The religion of Scientology is extremely controversial. Some consider it a cult while others consider it a business venture. Either way, scientology has a lot of elements of social psychology that are worth mentioning. Scientologists attempt to revert themselves back to their most basic, “primordial spirits”. They attempt to achieve this through a very strict lifestyle, as well as deep (and expensive) soul searching. Through a series of auditing (the soul searching) sessions, a person can move up stages along the Bridge to Total Freedom. As they go along this “bridge” they begin to learn more about themselves and when they get to a certain point, more important and worldly information is disclosed to them. When they get to that point, scientologists are told that 75 million years ago, a warlord named Xenu destroyed seventy six planets and their beings whose souls were caught, implanted with false concepts of organized religion and then attached to humans.…

    Transhumanism

    • 606 Words
    • 3 Pages

    EXPLANATION AND TECHNOLOGY: Humans (and transhumans) are marked by a persistent desire to understand and control their environment and experience. Before the development of the scientific method, deductive and inductive logic, game theory, sophisticated epistemic principles and so on, humans resorted to superficial causal explanations based on observation for common phenomena, and theistic explanation for unusual events. Deities were invoked to explain unusual or destructive phenomena, and to try to provide a comforting model of the uncertainties and uncontrollable events in life. Storms, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, epidemics and madness could not be tolerated without some belief about their cause. In the absence of scientific explanation a religious or theistic explanation was almost inevitable.…

    Neo-Confucianism

    • 1011 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Neo-Confucianism arose in China during the Song Dynasty as a vehicle to reapply Confucian teachings and morality to an era in which Buddhist and Daoist followers were all but competing with Confucianism. Such competition found Confucianism becoming more and more related to the state as an official religion, reducing the true existence of Confucianism as predicated by Kung T’zu’s own canonical texts. The revival of Confucian thought during this dynasty lead for replacement of a militaristically centered society academia and cultural achievements, changing the view of Chinese history and the historian as well as leadership in the government as both began to take on the characteristics of Confucian practices such as The Way.…

    The art movement i have researched and am interested in is Fauvism. Fauvism was not a normal movement with a large number of rules or regulations. It was more an instinctive coming together of artists who wished to express themselves by using bold colours, simplified drawing and expressive brushwork. Fauvism was an early 20th century art movement which originated in France. Two young artist, Henri Matisse and Andre` Derain formed the basis of a group of painters nicknamed ‘Les Fauves’ which meant ‘Wild Beast’ in French. They were given this name because it was felt that these artists used intense colours in violent ways, uncontrolled way. While fauvism as a style began around 1900 and continued beyond 1910, the movement as such lasted only a few years, 1904-1908, and had three exhibitions.…

    Confucianism

    • 1590 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Master Kung, also known as Kung Fu-tzu is known to be the Confucius of the west. He is one of the most well known philosophers in Chinese history. Confucianism has evolved so much over the years that no one knows the original thoughts of the master. Master Kung established a tradition of cultural values. Confucius wanted to attain a position in government so he could influence the ruler, thus helping him make wiser decisions. He was appointed to a governmental position in Lu but it was brief. So he traveled the neighboring states hoping to attain another position, and he did but he often spoke his mind when he shouldn't have and was forced to leave again. When he returned home he realized that through his teaching he would be able to affect the people more. Confucius taught that all human affairs were structured by five relationships: father and son, husband and wife, elder and younger brother, ruler and official, and friend and friend. He had a major emphasis on the family because three of these relationships focus on the family. Confucius was more of a summarizer and rephraser of truths than an original thinker. He focused on the relation of human being to human being and the relation of governor to governed.…

    Taylorism

    • 338 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Frederick W. Taylor introduced the idea of applying science into business management in the late 1880’s. Taylor, a mechanical engineer was determined to find a way to improve industrial efficiency and productivity. He sought to reduce the time a worker spent on each task by optimizing the way the task was done. This was accomplished by breaking down every job into individual motions, timing the movements and analysis each of the motions involved. He would then eliminate the unnecessary movements to create an almost ‘machine-like’ worker. This made the workers more productive and efficient. This system was theorized during a time where productivity emerged as a serious business problem due to short supply of labor in contrast to rapid expansion of businesses. He also recommended the piece rate wage system (fair day wok) to motivate the workers to work more.…
