This Volume 1 of Part II considers the factors that make science progress. It lays out the differences between normal science and pseudoscience by showing the importance of the scientific method in the advancement of science. It introduces the concept of Truth in science by raising the point that even though truth is based on the scientific method, can science be true? Can it depict reality? The author focuses on modern science, which, he thinks, was born thanks to the Scientific Revolution which started with Galileo Galilei and led to the Industrial Revolution. The impacts of the latter is analyzed in light modernism, modernization, and modernity, all three linked to scientific progress. The book also talks about the Newtonian scientific leap – by analyzing particularly the then social and political fabrics of England – and Albert Einstein by showing how he changed history. According to the author, our very physical world can help us understand scientific progress. So, he explains, among other things, the structure of atoms and molecules, the role of physics in the understanding of our universe, Quantum Mechanics, and the importance of Higgs-Boson. On the other hand, the book is a stunning revelation of how important information is to scientific progress. To make his point, the author, first, talks about John Vincent Atanasoff as the Father of computer thanks to the invention of his ABC computer and then, Alan Turing as the Father of modern computer thanks to his Turing Test and his views on Artificial Intelligence. Both men played a momentous role in the Digital Revolution and in the Information Age, according to the book. Finally, the author talks about nanotechnology, which explores the world of small, meaning at the atomic and the molecular levels and is an inescapable tool in the molecular biology revolution which, itself, is an important factor in scientific progress and in transhumanism or human enhancement defined as the ideology according to which man can surpass his present state by improving his genetic material.

The difference between Part I and Part II – Volumes 1 & 2 – of this series, is that in Part I the author showed how what we call reality starts with the inner self whereas Part II describes what, in fact, impacts and modifies the environment or reality and what are the factors behind that dynamics. What impacts and modifies the environment is science. This Volume 2 starts by showing how technology plays an important role in scientific progress. Although the relationship between the two is symbiotic, science can exist without technology but technology desperately needs science. Military technology is an example of how technology can help science advance. Some military inventions end up having civilian use. Science being at the center of society, the book makes the case for the direct impact of such social sciences as politics and economics on the advancement of science. Politics, says the author, influences science because of uncertainty in science, and economics does it thanks to the availability of money to scholars and scientists for their research. On the other hand, government also influences scientific progress through regulations. The book gives cyberspace regulation as an example. Furthermore, by showing how art influences science, the author really argues for the polyfactorial aspect of scientific progress. In that line of thought, he goes on to also prove that factors such as skepticism, curiosity, and the quest for knowledge greatly influence the advancement of science. That, says the author, “is a ninety-degree turn … By ending Part two that way, I wanted to, somehow, link it to Part I, which argues that reality starts from within.”

This report is a socioeconomic and political analysis of environmental sustainability in terms of the present state of the environment, what we can do to reverse the negative trends, and what the current and potential barriers are. First, it offers a background of the issue through a historical perspective. How we got here has a lot to do with how previous generations behaved towards the environment. Similarly, how we behave will determine the kind of environment future generations will have to contend with. It looks at the dynamics likely to impact the balance of nature. Also, because understanding what is biodiversity and why is it important are essential in order to grasp the concept of sustainability, this report looks at the types of ecosystems that form the biosphere and brings an answer to this important question, “Is the Maximum sustainable yield (MSY) concept a fallacy?” Moreover, the importance of cities is a key factor in environmental sustainability. So, the report shows the pros and cons of cities in both the preservation of the environment and the conservation of its biodiversity. The social, economic, and political analyses use the latest data and views from experts, scientists, and scholars alike and also the views of the common people. The result is that all three levels have positives and negatives and so, none of them should be individually prioritized over the other two. To tackle this dilemma, the report offers an alternative: an inclusive, pluralistic, and global approach which aims at motivating all stakeholders – from rich and poor countries – and people from all walks of life to work together towards a common goal and common interests. Such an approach, says the report should be bottom-up instead of top-down, that is, the needs of local populations, especially those closer to biodiversity, must come first before those of large corporations. However, while in the present and short terms, this approach may be successful, in the long term or a distant future, there are reasons to be skeptical for the environment is constantly changing and generations are different from one another. And that is very important because what constitutes the cornerstone of environmental sustainability is this: the present use of natural resources should not be harmful to future generations. Therefore, the report looks into the future. While acknowledging that, in terms of environmental sustainability, predicting the future is a daunting task – because it is better to think that the future is now – the report shows how we can prepare a soft landing for our great grand-children by laying the groundwork for them. We can accomplish this last task because we still have time.

This article is an argument against the US electoral college as a concept. It looks at the policies and failures of the five electoral college-elected presidents – three of them in the 19th century and the other two in the 21st century. It explores the electoral college’s modus operandi and its hindrance to American democracy to deduct its irrelevance. Mr. Dufour looks at people’s expectations from democracy in the 21st century as well as the meaning of American democracy, which is linked to the American dream to infer the polite fiction nature of the electoral college. The merit of the article lies within the facts it explores and considers as irrefutable evidence against any kind of compatibility between the electoral college and progressivism.

Westward expansion has always been more important to China than eastward expansion because except for the Korean peninsula and Japan, China is looking at the vast Pacific Ocean. The west has always been and continues to be China’s lifeline. China has come a long way. Civilizations rise and fall. They come and go. But the Chinese civilization is one of the oldest and most stable. The Chinese engaged in world trade way before America was even discovered. They did that thanks to the Silk Road, which was an ancient caravan route linking Xi'an in central China with the eastern Mediterranean. It was established during the period of Roman rule in Europe, and took its name from the silk which was brought to the west from China . Although trading with the West was quintessential, China has always sought to retain their own economic model. When the four leading powers of the West – England, France, Spain, and Portugal - decided to build their politico-economic empires on triangular trade or face failure, China was thriving, as it had been for millennia. But World War II dealt a serious blow to China’s economy as the United states emerged as the only superpower on both the political and economic levels and put shortly after a policy of containment towards China. That, along with past failures, exacerbated if not China’s resentment at least its mistrust towards the West and, especially towards the United States.

The Gilded Age: a Tale of Today is a depiction of those crimes committed in the United States in the late 19th Century which so frequently went unpunished and of the casualties which ought to be called crimes. The description severely winds up with the satirical verdict “No one to blame.” The project of Colonel Sellers for raising mules for the Southern markets is a satire upon the fraudulency and soap-bubble speculation of capitalists. The work is full of hints and descriptions that take their rise from the frauds and outrages under which the country had plagued for so many years. Family, social and national questions are all cleverly satirized. The monument erected to the memory of the Father of his country – a monument begun, but, of course, never completed – calls forth some strokes of bitter but not unjust humor. The means by which preferment is obtained in Washington are amply satirized. There are two views of this book: favorable and unfavorable. This essay considers both. For instance, while some critics think that it is incoherent, others suggests that the narrative departs from the traditional methods of concluding and is thereby more natural than most novels because every chapter of the book bears the marks of both writers and is therefore a novelty in its way. In this essay I argue that The Gilded Age is essentially a satire and should always be accepted as such. Of course, other good contemporary books did not make it to our time in terms of popularity and legacy. The Gilded Age did. We talk, write, and read about it to this day. Evidently, it is an integral part of the annals of American literature and fully contributes to Mark Twain’s reputation, legacy, and lasting influence.

La différence entre la première partie et la deuxième partie – volumes 1 et 2 – de cette série est que, dans la première partie, l'auteur a montré comment ce que nous appelons la réalité commence avec le moi intérieur, alors que la deuxième partie décrit ce qui, en réalité, affecte et modifie l'environnement ou la réalité et quels sont les facteurs derrière cette dynamique. Ce qui impacte et modifie l'environnement, c'est la science. Ce volume 2 commence par montrer comment la technologie joue un rôle important dans les progrès scientifiques. Bien que la relation entre les deux soit symbiotique, la science peut exister sans technologie, mais la technologie a désespérément besoin de la science. La technologie militaire est un exemple de la manière dont la technologie peut faire progresser la science. Certaines inventions militaires finissent par avoir un usage civil. La science étant au centre de la société, le livre plaide en faveur de l’impact direct de sciences sociales telles que la politique et l’économie sur le progrès de la science. La politique, dit l'auteur, influence la science en raison de l'incertitude de la science, et l'économie le fait grâce à la disponibilité de fonds pour les chercheurs et les scientifiques. D'autre part, le gouvernement influence également le progrès scientifique par le biais de réglementations. Le livre donne comme exemple la régulation du cyberespace. En outre, en montrant comment l'art influence la science, l'auteur plaide en faveur de l'aspect polyfactoriel du progrès scientifique. Dans cette optique, il prouve également que des facteurs tels que le scepticisme, la curiosité et la quête du savoir influencent grandement le progrès de la science. Cela, dit l'auteur, « est un virage à 90 degrés ... En terminant la partie deux de cette façon, je voulais, d'une manière ou d'une autre, la relier à la première partie, qui affirme que la réalité commence de l'intérieur. »

Ce Volume 1 de la Deuxième partie examine les facteurs qui font progresser la science. Il expose les différences entre la science normale et la pseudoscience en montrant l'importance de la méthode scientifique dans l'avancement de la science. Il introduit le concept de Vérité dans la science en soulignant que même si la vérité est basée sur la méthode scientifique, la science peut-elle être vraie? Peut-elle représenter la réalité? L'auteur se concentre sur la science moderne qui, selon lui, est née de la révolution scientifique qui a commencé avec Galilée et qui a conduit à la révolution industrielle. Les impacts de celle-ci sont analysés à la lumière du modernisme, de la modernisation et de la modernité, tous trois liés au progrès scientifique. Le livre traite également du bond scientifique Newtonien – en analysant particulièrement le tissu sociopolitique de l’Angleterre d'alors – et d’Albert Einstein en montrant comment il a changé l’histoire. Selon l'auteur, notre monde physique lui-même peut nous aider à comprendre le progrès scientifique. Ainsi, il explique, entre autres, la structure des atomes et des molécules, le rôle de la physique dans la compréhension de notre univers, la mécanique quantique et l’importance de Higgs-Boson. D'autre part, le livre est une révélation étonnante de l'importance de l'information pour le progrès scientifique. Pour faire valoir son point de vue, l'auteur parle d'abord de John Vincent Atanasoff en tant que Père de l'informatique grâce à l’invention de son ordinateur ABC, puis d'Alan Turing en tant que Père de l'informatique moderne grâce à son test de Turing et à ses points de vue sur l'intelligence artificielle. Les deux hommes ont joué un rôle de premier plan dans la révolution numérique et dans l’ère de l’information, selon le livre. Enfin, l’auteur parle de la nanotechnologie, qui explore le monde microscopique, c’est-à-dire aux niveaux atomique et moléculaire et qui constitue un outil incontournable de la révolution de la biologie moléculaire, qui est elle-même un facteur important du progrès scientifique et du transhumanisme ou de l’amélioration humaine définie comme l'idéologie selon laquelle l'homme peut surpasser son état actuel en améliorant son matériel génétique.

What is reality and how do we make sense of it in everyday life? Why do some realities seem more real than others, and what of seemingly contradictory and multiple realities? This book considers reality as we represent, perceive and experience it. It suggests that the realities we take as ‘real’ are the result of real-time, situated practices that draw on and draw together many things - technologies and objects, people, gestures, meanings and media. Examining these practices illuminates reality (or rather our sense of it) as always ‘virtually real’, that is simplified and artfully produced. This examination also shows us how the sense of reality that we make is nonetheless real in its consequences. Making Sense of Reality offers students and educators a guide to analysing social life. It develops a performance-based perspective (‘doing things with’) that highlights the ever-revised dimension of realities and links this perspective to a focus on object-relations and an ecological model of culture-in-action.
