This community orientated book brings together studies undertaken by Manfred Davidmann to obtain a better understanding of why people have to struggle throughout their adult lives, in all countries and organisations, at all levels, to maintain and improve their standard of living and quality of life. Manfred Davidmann says: "We know what people are struggling to achieve and so these studies explore why people have to struggle by looking at what they are struggling against".
|
He discusses and illustrates the internal struggles taking place in political parties and all other organisations for achieving greater democracy and against those wishing to overpower democratic processes of decision-making.
|
And Manfred Davidmann here clearly defines and describes motivation, its basis and 'motivating'. He includes a detailed step-by-step listing of what people are struggling to achieve, their needs and wants, their achievements and objectives.
|
