Excerpt from The New Basis of Civilization
The volume by Professor Patten makes an ad mirable introduction to such a series. It interprets in a specially suggestive and stimulating way the mean ing and significance of recent social changes with which the practical social worker is so actively engaged and to which he is so close in point of time and contact that he may well fail to secure for himself the stimu lus of the larger outlook upon the events in which he is a participant.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book places the characteristics of present-day society under its sociological microscope, contrasting them with the social realities of our ancestors. The author argues that while our material existence has improved drastically, our psychological and emotional responses to those changes are still influenced by the subconscious social structures of our ancestors. This is mostly due to the fact that our social institutions, like the family, have origins in poverty and hardship but have not kept up with our material progress. This discrepancy means we often respond to the opportunities and challenges of the present day with the attitudes and insecurities of our less fortunate ancestors, putting us at odds with the realities of our time and limiting our potential. The book suggests that to move forward we need to fully recognize the effects of our social inheritance, acknowledge the artificiality of many of our social structures, and establish new patterns of behavior that fit our modern context. By doing so, we can create a society that not only has material wealth but also one that nurtures our emotional and intellectual needs.
