French Mentality

Although history might seem a concrete science about events and their chronological order of occurrence, it is far from giving concrete answers and explanation of the reasons for those events to happen and their socio-cultural dimension of occurrence. Usually, historians explain events in terms of political reasons or military necessity or state interest, forgetting that those events were carried out by simple people that belonged to their specific socio-economic and cultural communities. Those people embodied their epoch and opportunity to choose their destiny. The main reason why Eugen Weber wrote this book was that he wanted to outline another ...

Malcolm Gladwell's book The Tipping Point emphasizes three rules of epidemics, catalysts for change which provide significant shifts in economic and social culture.

The stickiness factor is described as the permeability of a message - just how easily it can get stuck in people's heads. Finally there is the power of context, where the ...
