Workers in the 1950s
Alvin Toffler – Future Shock 1970 “To survive, to avert what we have termed future
shock, the individual must become infinitely more adaptable and capable than ever before.
We must search out totally new ways to anchor ourselves, for all the old roots - religion, nation, community, family, or profession - are now shaking under the hurricane impact of the accelerative thrust.”
“.....expresses the extent to which one has a feeling of confidence that the stimuli deriving from one's internal and external environments in the course of living are structured, predictable and explicable, that one has the internal resources to meet the demands posed by these stimuli and, finally, that these demands are seen as challenges, worthy of investment and engagement."

Alienation and Frankenstein "I came across people, other beings which I could see
were almost like myself. Or so I thought at first when I approached them, though, I found that they did not consider me as one of their own kind. As soon as they saw me, their faces became twisted with fear. They shouted at me and threw things and ran away from me, just as my own maker had done. So this is what I learned about myself - that I was a disgusting creature. Even though I had given them no cause, all men hated me."
Mary Shelley
Man’s search for meaning
“Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.”
