TL;DR: In this paper, a typology of social change efforts based on an analysis of their divergent root assumptions about values and the nature of reality is proposed. But, their focus is on individual change agents' images of society and of the individual, their diagnoses of contemporary society and their priorities for action.
Abstract: This paper offers a typology of social change efforts based on an analysis of their divergent root assumptions about values and the nature of reality rather than a categorization of their various activities. Analysis of change agents' images of society and of the individual, their diagnoses of contemporary society, and their priorities for action yields three perspectives of planned social change: the professional-technical, the political, and the countercultural, which the authors discuss in terms of such issues as their varying kinds of constituencies, resources, roles, and institutional bases.

TL;DR: This article argued that educational reform can never be used as an independent force for changing social, economic, and political relationships and that attempts at reform have always failed when they violated the tenets of the policy.
Abstract: Most contemporary societies view the educational system as a powerful tool of social change. This paper argues, however, that the schools will always be used to reproduce society rather than to modify it. It contends that educational reform can never be used as an independent force for changing social, economic, and political relationships and that attempts at reform have always failed when they violated the tenets of the policy.

TL;DR: The Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies held a two-week conference on education, or, to be more particular and cite the phrase by which the conference was announced, on The Educated Person in the Contemporary World as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: In the summer of 1974 the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies held a two-week conference on education, or, to be more particular and cite the phrase by which the conference was announced, on The Educated Person in the Contemporary World. It was planned that the first four meetings of the conference should address themselves to certain specific topics which bore upon the general subject and that the discussion at these meetings should be initiated by prepared papers. I was asked to deal with the question of what were the factors in contemporary society which worked for or against the likelihood that, in the late twentieth century, there would emerge an effectual ideal of education which would be integrally related to the humanistic educational traditions of the past. What follows is my effort to respond to this all too momentous question.

TL;DR: In this article, the importance of providing people with the procedural protections that notice and a hearing represent is analyzed and a survey of reasons which may explain the importance in contemporary society of notice and hearing as procedural constraints is given.
Abstract: Judges and advocates have been called upon to consider novel questions concerning the applicability of the ancient legal requirements of notice and hearing. Our purpose here is to analyze the importance of providing people with the procedural protections that notice and a hearing represent. We begin with an attempt to articulate the purposes served by requiring notice and an opportunity for a hearing. We next consider some traditional and modern limitations on those requirements and inquire whether they are justified in light of our functional analysis. The relationship between our formulation and several landmark decisions handed down by the Supreme Court since 1968 is then examined, followed by a survey of reasons which may explain the importance in contemporary society of notice and hearing as procedural constraints.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that electrical engineers throughout the world were to speak a common language, or at least become more familiar with the similarities and differences among their respective educational systems.
Abstract: Problems of contemporary society ? pollution, energy, shortages, urban congestion, and mechanized war ? do not respect international boundaries. Perhaps some of these problems could be better met if electrical engineers throughout the world were to speak a common language, or at least become more familiar with the similarities and differences among their respective educational systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe their experiences with intelligent young men aged from 16 to 19 who rejected the values of home and school and disassociated themselves from contemporary society, arguing that behaviour which appears to be self-destructive to the outsider, serves important funcdons for these individuals.
Abstract: This article is based on the writer's experiences with intelligent young men aged from 16 to 19 who rejected the values of home and school and disassociated themselves from contemporary society. It is argued that behaviour which appears to be self-destructive to the outsider, serves important funcdons for these individuals. Their alienated behaviour masked an intuitive attempt to avoid the most damaging form of alienation – alienation from oneself Some account is provided of the processes which occur when this is the case and the strategies used in creating satisfying identities.

TL;DR: In periods of stability, those ‘past agreements' that define how individuals relate to each other and to society remain largely implicit and unquestioned as mentioned in this paper. But when changed social conditions demand a rethinking of such agreements, considerable social tension is entailed in the transition to a new set of agreements.
Abstract: In periods of stability, those ‘past agreements’ that define how individuals relate to each other and to society remain largely implicit and unquestioned. When changed social conditions demand a rethinking of such agreements, considerable social tension is entailed in the transition to a new set of agreements. A transition of this sort in contemporary America can be seen as the context within which many of the economic and political problems discussed in this volume are occurring.
