Produktbeschreibung

Explore the Cultural Schism between Ancient and Modern Times: What is the state of culture in the world today? In general, is culture changing? At age twenty, is Johnny, Juan, or Johan as financially and socially stable as when their grandfather turned twenty? Is Mary, Mia, or Maria teaching their children, and employed like their grandmother at age twenty? If not, culture is changing. Change involves many contributing factors. Relating to Ancient Culture compares modern society with that of our parents, grandparents, and even ancient culture in an attempt to solve the riddle of what caused such a cultural shift. Since the beginning of time, humans have always had to satisfy their basic needs: food, clothing, shelter, and training children to insure they are self-sustaining. If basic cultural needs remain the same, why does the current culture seem to be changing more than in the past? What will be some of the consequences of current societal practices? • Ancient life followed nature. • A culture can only develop as its educated are gainfully employed. • Early cultural awareness starts at home. • At what age do parents give children responsibility? If it is at college graduation, they are two decades too late. Dependency is taught. • Why were teenagers old enough to work eight hundred years ago, but not today? • Based on the historical accomplishments of people whose lives were half the current lifespan, we wean later, learn slower, and are less mentally developed upon entering adulthood. • Team approach is often preferred over individual initiative. • Innovation has slowed since the 1960s as the adoption rate of technology has quickened. • Fascination with technological gadgets has replaced intellectual pursuit.

With current comparisons, disputable contentions, and subtle humor, discover how and why society is being transformed. Enjoy Relating to Ancient Culture and the Mysterious Agent Changing It. For more detail see: www.relatingtoancients.com.

Autorenporträt

GARY W. WIETGREFE (pronounced wit'grif) For the past five years without a car or home, Gary and his wife, Patricia, traveled the world with a backpack and observed: Some places have bookstores and family-owned "mom and pop shops"; others do not. Some brick and mortar retailers thrive in places while others strive to stay alive. Why? In many locations, education is intermittent with children helping families survive. Elsewhere, too many children forced schools to operate two shifts. Often in the developed world, children try to skip school. He investigated why there were differences. As an inventor, researcher, military intelligence veteran, economist, agriculturalist, systems developer, societal explorer, and author, Gary has observed and documented his findings from his many travels and experiences. What does ancient mean? Could the difference between modern and ancient be the same reason grandparents buy books and newspapers and younger generations read electronic books, blogs, and engage social media on devices? His books Relating to Ancient Culture and Relating to Ancient Learning help answer those profound questions.
