No Way!
The History of Opposing
One of the most common behavioural models is opposition. This book takes you on a journey to good old days when it was ok to yearn for the good old times. Everywhere, at all times people have been horrified about the young folks, about new customs, ideas, novelties and fashionable phenomena. This book introduces items that are acceptable today although they used to be fiercely opposed to. The book is opposed to different world views, philosophical pondering, science, inventions, creativity, everyday needs and fi nally, opposition itself. The basic idea is that during different periods, conceptions have changed of what is acceptable and what is not and these conceptions will change in the future, too. This journey into the history of human conservativeness is a fun and educational excursion; it paves the way to being able to accept dissent and especially, it teaches you the skill of being wrong.
