Vivere è sempre un vivere insieme, convivere: ciò accade in tutti i contesti della vita sociale, dalla famiglia alla scuola, dal condominio al lavoro, dal quartiere allo Stato. A partire da una tesi antica ma quanto mai attuale, secondo cui l'uomo è un animale sociale, Michele Tamponi analizza il concetto di socialità nel contesto in cui viviamo: neppure un'immaginaria campana di vetro potrebbe, insomma, sottrarre l'uomo alle varie forme di convivenza cui è destinato, senza le quali sarebbe condannato alla solitudine, alla noia e a un innaturale isolamento.

This is the story “behind” all of my stories, starting from when I was a kid growing up in Havelock, moving on through the 45 years I spent in the field of youth work. I may have a wild imagination, but this one is nonfiction, and filled with true stories of my life and times. For all youth workers out there - I hope this resonates with you, and not only inspires you to never give up on even the toughest, belligerent kids, but serves as a clarion call for you to stand at the wall and fill the gap, while others have given up and quit.

Da sempre la rabbia ha una cattiva fama, è considerata un'emozione sgradevole e deprecabile. In generale, quindi, tendiamo a provare nei suoi confronti una certa paura e a non concederle spazio, che si tratti della nostra o di quella altrui. Questo vale in particolare per le donne: di fatto, una donna che esprime liberamente la propria rabbia viene definita stizzosa, isterica o eccessivamente drammatica. Per questo, le donne più degli uomini hanno la tendenza a rimuoverla e a nasconderla, in primis a se stesse, dietro il volto dell'amarezza, della delusione, del dolore.

In modern history, the story of capitalism has been a story of firms and financiers. That's all going to change thanks to the Big Data revolution. As Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, best-selling author of Big Data, and Thomas Ramge, who writes for The Economist, show, data is replacing money as the driver of market behavior.

Will this be an age of prosperity or of calamity?
