The cultural construction of physical and social ageing
The modern sociological construction of 'lifecourse' is fluid, labile and essentially interactive between people and their environments. (Riley 1988)
Health related behaviour of any individual is the product of a complex interweaving of biographical, social and cultural threads. Any one person's pattern of activity in relation to their diet, drinking, smoking and exercise is situated in a framework unique to that individual. (637)

The cultural construction of physical and social ageing
The lay perception of 'Lifestyle’, means the cultural construction of bodily ageing and the social organization of an individual’s passage through life, is "more grounded in historical, environmental and biographical contents." (632)
Therefore, "it is important for health promotion to work with rather than against cultural norms and every day principles of social organisation”. (629)

The Empathic Civilization The Age of Reason is being eclipsed by the Age of Empathy
Are we 'a fundamentally empathic species'?
Will this 'necessitate a fundamentally rethinking of our philosophical, economic, and social models’?

The Empathic Civilization The Age of Reason is being eclipsed by the Age of Empathy
Each more sophisticated communications revolution brings together more diverse people in increasingly more expansive and dense social networks. (37)
In networks, optimizing the interest of others increases one's own assets and value. Cooperation bests competition. Sharing risks and open-source collaboration, rather than Machiavellian-inspired intrigues and manipulation, becomes a norm. (17)

The Empathic Civilization The Age of Reason is being eclipsed by the Age of Empathy
Empathy is the soul of democracy. The more empathic the culture, the more democratic its values and governing institutions. The less empathic the culture, the more totalitarian its values and governing institutions. (161)
The constant empathic feedback is the social glue that makes possible increasingly complex societies. Without empathy it would be impossible to even imagine a social life and the organization of society. (42)
