Delivering fun activities that promote positive behaviors, the activities in this book were designed to promote conversations and questions about keeping our cup filled with knowledge and awareness. These teambuilding activities simply use the famous red plastic cup, normally used at parties, to help promote trust, commitment, collaboration, accountability and communication. This book helps a leader, trainer, teacher or facilitator to add more activities into their tool belt to help guide teams to higher success. The book will guide you in how to run and facilitate the activities. Each activity comes with suggested questions to help you bring deeper and meaningful conversations when facilitating. Also included are variations that you can change to activity to bring different results. We hope that you will continue to be inspired by the Red Plastic Cup. Not only for parties and play but also to encourage, to teach and to help others grow and learn for themselves.

In Family and Civilization, the distinguished Harvard sociologist Carle Zimmerman demonstrates the close and causal connections between the rise and fall of different types of families and the rise and fall of civilizations, particularly ancient Greece and Rome, medieval and modern Europe, and the United States. Zimmerman traces the evolution of family structure from tribes and clans to extended and large nuclear families to the smaller, often broken families of today. And he shows the consequences of each structure for bearing and rearing of children, for religion, law, and everyday life, and for the fate of civilization itself. Originally published in 1947, this compelling analysis predicted many of today's controversies and trends concerning youth violence and depression, abortion, and homosexuality, the demographic collapse of the West, and the displacement of peoples. This new edition has been edited and abridged by James Kurth of Swarthmore College. It includes essays on the text by Kurth and Bryce Christensen and an introduction by Allan C. Carlson.
