Title:The Last Quarter-Century: Change as Challenge or as Catastrophe
Author(s):Thompson, Kenneth W.; Shera, Jesse H.
Subject(s):Future trends
Libraries and society
Abstract:Includes a response by Jesse H. Shera. Because most of us are "little conservatives" or "little liberals," we are baffled, divided and troubled by change. Most of our judgments about change reflect in some measure our varying temperaments and styles. Either we function best with things as they are in familiar surroundings where stimuli and responses are predictable and routine, or we demand bold new challenges and large opportunities to make life worth living. It is the beginning of wisdom to recognize that in our response to change we are not the same, and we do not help one another by blind insistence that we are. There is no such thing as one objective response to change; each of us responds from the ground on which he or she stands.
