PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Oil and Ideology: The Cultural Creation of the American Petroleum Industry

Traditional accounts of John D Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Company as well as recent bestselling books on the subject still accept without question charges of unethical and anticompetitive behavior by the American oil industry In this pathbreaking synthesis of cultural business gender and intellectual history Roger and Diana Davids Olien explore how this negative image of the petroleum industry was createdand how this image in turn helped shape policy toward the industry in ways that were sometimes at odds with both the goals of reformers and the public interestBy turning a critical eye on sources that have often been accepted at face value and examining the selfinterests of oil industry critics the authors produce a more balanced complex picture of the industry than has previously been offered Their case study of the impact of ideology offers a striking example of how business must be understood through its cultural context and offers a new approach to understanding problems of regulation and reform.

Imperialism not only describes colonial and territorial policies, but also economic and military dominance and influence.. Imperialism:. The Age of Imperialism was a time period beginning around 1870 when modern, relatively developed nations were taking over less developed areas, colonizing them, or influencing them in order to expand their own power. Although imperialist practices have existed for thousands of years, the term "Age of Imperialism" generally refers to the activities of nations such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States in the early 18th through the middle 20th centuries,. In this book J. M. Balkin offers a strikingly original theory of cultural evolution, a theory that explains shared understandings, disagreement, and diversity within cultures. Drawing on many fields of study—including anthropology, evolutionary theory, cognitive science, linguistics, sociology, political theory, philosophy, social psychology, and law—the author explores how cultures grow and spread, how shared understandings arise, and how people of different cultures can understand and evaluate each other’s views. Cultural evolution occurs through the transmission of cultural information and know-how—cultural software—in human minds, Balkin says. Individuals embody cultural software and spread it to others through communication and social learning. Ideology, the author contends, is neither a special nor a pathological form of thought but an ordinary product of the evolution of cultural software. Because cultural understanding is a patchwork of older imperfect tools that are continually adapted to solve new problems, human understanding is partly adequate and partly inadequate to the pursuit of justice. Balkin presents numerous examples that illuminate the sources of ideological effects and their contributions to injustice. He also enters the current debate over multiculturalism, applying his theory to problems of mutual understanding between people who hold different worldviews. He argues that cultural understanding presupposes transcendent ideals and shows how both ideological analysis of others and ideological self-criticism are possible.
