Infinitely diverse in form, place embodies the action settings where social life happens. Often fighting to preserve a sense of group belonging in the process, we design places to reflect our values and interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an eye on our rapidly changing world, \u003cem\u003ePeople, Places, and Belonging\u003c\/em\u003e explores how social realities at every level are affected by the places we collectively forge across various social domains. The book shows how place-related circumstances can promote personal empowerment, civic engagement, and social and environmental justice. \u003cbr\u003eDiscussing places that affect personal and social well-being, including homes, communities, vehicles, and the metaverse, William Marsiglio illustrates how a web of social processes involving claims, attachments, rituals, and transitions (CART) structure our experiences in place. The author argues that we can use decision-making principles to enhance our attachments, encourage supportive rituals, smooth out transitions, and manage claims with less conflict and more social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eArmed with a heightened place consciousness and ethical principles, \u003cem\u003ePeople, Places, and Belonging\u003c\/em\u003e ultimately posits that we must individually and collectively build places that enrich our lives, celebrate the communal spirit, and foster social equity and ecological justice. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57235235406206,"sku":"NW9781487551452","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781487551452.jpg?v=1778539858","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/people-places-and-belonging","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
