1552: The Impact of Persecution On Amish Culture
... a great deal to the survival of the Amish culture to the present day, despite all the problems that have arisen from it.

Although the Amish, throughout history, were the victims of violent attacks, they never abandoned their doctrine of defenseless non-resistance. This demonstrates how crucial this principle is to their belief. They are more willing to ... many cases. Despite, or perhaps because of, persecution and criminal attacks, the positive effect of the non-resistance doctrine is much more substantial than the negative effect.

1554: The Kondratieff Wave
The Kondratieff Wave The Kondratieff Wave has its basics in what’s called long wave cycles. These long wave cycles involve economics (world economics), important moments in history and of course human affairs.

Problems that governments try to correct sometimes only stalling the inevitable ... is a particular phrase in the introduction of the Kondratieff wave, that believe hits the head of the nail: “In human affairs it has been common place to note that history repeats itself.

Moral obligation: What our parents, ...

Theoretician of Independence During his 20s, Jefferson read voraciously in Enlightenment philosophy, 17th-century English history, political theory, and law.

The environment may initially shape the range of choices available to people at a ... environmental crisis we face is the product of a crisis of perception; we as a species cannot see that our actions will have tremendous effects.
