The most important part of the book is thus in the opening chapters (chapters 1-4). The rest of the book is his attempt to make sense of how well society is doing in relation to the standards of healthy society he enumerated in the early chapters, and then how society might do better (″roads to sanity,″ etc.). In Ethics for the New Millennium, the Dalai Lama similarly posits a theory of human happiness (in Part I of the book), and then proceeds to explore the implications of this theory for global social system contexts. The assignment is to write a 8-10 page paper analyzing and critiquing the social systems theories presented in the Sane Society and Ethics for the New Millennium. Compare and contrast Fromm′s notion of ″productive orientation″ with the Dalai Lama′s notion of ″happiness.″ Compare and contrast Fromm′s concept of ″productive love″ with the Dalai Lama′s concept of ″compassion.″ Compare and contrast their theories of a healthy self in relation to the health of various social systems, including society as a whole. Does each writer′s theory of societal health/illness make sense to you, in general? If so, in what way, and if not, why not? In what ways are the two theories complementary or conflicting? In what ways is each one a systems thinker–or: in what ways is each one putting forward a systems theory? Does one of these theories of human nature / human psychology / mental health ring truer to you? If so, in what ways? If not, why not? Can you suggest alternative approaches? Paper should be written in APA format at 8 pages. Reference the text and focus on suggesting possible alternative methods.
