Publisher's Synopsis
Culture, Discipline and Democracy is a book written by A. Duncan Yocum that explores the relationship between culture, discipline, and democracy. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of how culture, discipline, and democracy intersect and influence each other in different societies around the world. The author argues that culture plays a crucial role in shaping the way people behave and interact with each other, and that discipline is necessary to maintain social order and stability. However, he also emphasizes the importance of democracy in promoting individual rights and freedoms, and how it can serve as a check against abuses of power by those in positions of authority.The book draws on a wide range of examples from different cultures and historical periods, including ancient Greece, medieval Europe, and contemporary societies in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities that arise when cultures clash or when democratic values are threatened by authoritarian regimes.Overall, Culture, Discipline and Democracy is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a fresh perspective on some of the most pressing issues facing societies today. It will be of interest to scholars and students of political science, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, as well as to anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of culture, discipline, and democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
