Social Aims in a Changing World
$15.25
Walter G. Beach
Book
This book is a carefully considered attempt to picture the changing social life and to reveal and to emphasize the basic purposes or aims which should guide community and social action. The author holds that the recreation of oneness of community life in spirit and in essence involves a change of emphasis from individual privilege to personal obligation -- that the issue is ultimately moral. It is in part the nature of this obligation that he seeks here to establish. Professor Beach has given us an indictment of the machine age as it has thus far developed, and of the so-called "triumph of the individual." No critic of the machine per se, he flays the purely selfish ends to which our machine-released energies have been directed. No idol smashing destructionist, he makes cogent suggestions for the building of a modern social order, based on mutual understanding and helpfulness, and making use of our present superlative existing and potential resources of knowledge. According to Beach, today's world has lost the excuse of ignorance with respect to such problems as sickness, immigrant maladjustment, child labor, and war. The tools are at hand with which to eliminate almost every social ill to which the world is heir. The ends of living, both individual and community, must be made to conform to a larger and more intelligently pattern ideal.
