Overview
The Generative Society: Caring for Future Generations examines this critical stage of development that occurs during the "long middle" of adulthood, as it exists on societal and cultural levels. This volume's diverse group of eminent scholars explores the complex relationships between generativity and various societies' political, economic, religious, educational, and cultural arenas. Integrating empirical research, scientific and cultural theory, and their own informed observations and speculations regarding generativity in society, the volume contributors create a rich and stimulating exchange about the multifaceted role of generativity in human life and in society.Synopsis
Scholars of psychology, sociology, history, divinity, criminal justice, education, and social policy examine societal generativity—a concern and commitment to caring for the next generation—in particular, the complex relationships between generativity and various societies' political, economic, religious, educational, and cultural arenas. Topics include generativity through culture in Japan and the US; generativity in a prison setting; the gender-related politics of care; volunteerism and the generative society; and Erik Erikson on generativity.
