Human Resources – Social Engineering in the 20th Century explores the rise of mechanistic philosphy and the exploitation of human beings under modern hierarhical systems. Topics covered include behaviorism, scientific management, work-place democracy, schooling, frustration-aggression hypothesis and human experimentation. Scott Noble, the filmmaker behind the extraordinary and informative documentary “Psywar,†has made another revelatory and important documentary, available free to the public, called “Human Resources: Social Engineering in the 20th Century.â€
“Esentially,†says Scott, “this film is about the rise of mechanistic philosphy and the exploitation of human beings under modern hierarhical systems.†The film includes original interviews with: “Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Rebecca Lemov (“World as Laboratoryâ€), Christopher Simpson (“The Science of Coercionâ€), George Ritzer (“The McDonaldization of Societyâ€), Morris Berman (“The Reenchantment of the Worldâ€), John Taylor Gatto (“Dumbing us Downâ€), Alfie Kohn (“What does it mean to be well educated?â€) and others.â€
Read David Ker Thomson’s review of the film. He writes: “It answers the significant events of the last century the way a glass answers the implicit questions of a man who peers into its reflective surface–point for point. It corresponds, in short, to reality.â€
