In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the literature which discusses new phenomenon associated to social network. One of the well-known phenomenon in this regards is known as ‘six degrees of separation’ [1], which implies that one can always keep a communication with each other anywhere within a six-step. A number of experiments has verified this hypothesis, either in the context of offline communication (postal mail), or online communication (email, etc.). In this article, we argue that by introducing this known ‘six degrees of separation’ into the context of group instability problem, one can find a new type of wisdom in organization. Therefore, we offer a new conjecture, which may be called ‘Group stability conjectures based on Graph/Network distance.”...

Description Details
The book analyzes the relations between the Hungarians and the Romans in the Transylvanian region, showing that the tensions between the two ethnic groups have roots in the past, cultivated for more than 150 years by some people (from secret services, political parties, public institutions) interested in interethnic hatred to facilitate access to power and resources....

Excerpt Details
Until 1848 the Romans and Szeklers lived in peace, and the tensions were the basis of the competition between the churches in the area (Orthodox, Catholic, Reformed). The political events in Europe at that time created a nationalism that has radically changed the relations between the inhabitants of Szeklerland. History has been reinterpreted and updated to justify not only territorial claims but also the obligation to hate the other ethnicity. Today, very few leaders see possible friendship between Hungarians and Romans, and their hateful speeches affect the good relationships existing in many communities....

In Secuime mahele etnii depun un efort urias pentru scrierea ai rescrierea istoriei lor, pentru constructia si reconstructia sinelui etnic. In interiorul arcului carpatic, istoria cu cat steel mai veche cu atat este mai contemporana. Disputa asupra primordialitatii (cine au fost primii veniti: secuii sau romanii?) duce inevitabil lā crearea de mituri si legende. Apelul lā traditii si istorie reprezinta de fapt un instrument pentru legitimarea accesului lā resursele economice, politics si teritoriale. Biografia fiecarui cetatean are un sens istoric, iar ea este colorata de piedicile puse de cealalta natie si de luptele duse pentru depasirea acestor piedici. In acest sens fiecare istorie personala are o intriga de coloratura etnica, incarcata de prejudecati, resentimente, nostalgii etc....

This book exhibits three variations of it, focusing on the ideas of Hannah Arendt, Leo Strauss and Philip Rieff. The approach is critical, stressing the prejudices existing inside their commentaries of our age, but at the same time it argues they originally highlight some of its deepest problems....
