Download or read book False Truths written by Edward C. Mendler and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In False Truths, Edward C. Mendler contends that many of the beliefs, tenets, conclusions, and understandings that are widely accepted as “truths” are, in fact, not valid at all. Such dubious and false concepts arise not only in philosophy and theology but also under the rubrics of cosmology, quantum physics, democracy, freedom, economics, and various aspects of “human nature” and evolution. We accept and absorb these false ideas because they were and are propounded by “authorities,” both ancient and modern. Mendler asserts that we should challenge them all — from Plato on to contemporary theorists in all of those fields — and question and analyze every element of their conclusions.
Download or read book Policies for a President written by Edward C. Mendler and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-12-26 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book does propose Policies for a President, and the author hopes that the candidates for that office will take heed, 2008 being the year of an important and highly contested Presidential election. But, as the subtitle A Manifesto for 2008 and Beyond suggests, the message is not confined to this year, but looks ahead to the America of the future. More important than the offer of advice to candidates is the message to the American people - to every voter: Take careful account of the policies and the goals that you really want the President to pursue. What is your vision for America, for yourself, your children and grandchildren? What policies of a President will lead us in that direction? How can they be implemented? And what policies and actions of Presidents in the past have carried us forward in the right direction, and what policies and actions have gone astray and set us back? In seeking to find answers to those questions, the histories of Presidential policies and actions in various fields are reviewed and analyzed. At many times and in many cases those policies and actions achieved or contributed to advances in our democracy and in our lives and happiness. Through most of our history America has achieved great success. It began with the courage and wisdom of our forefathers who rejected monarchial dominance and created a republic of the people, represented by a Congress of their own chioce. The Constitution established by our forefathers has withstood the tests of time and conflict, including the Civil War which resulted in amendments to the Constitution introducing new levels of freedom and democracy. The struggle to bring those new freedoms to fruition for everyone is not yet fully accomplished; it survived a great economic depression and a devastating World War, and still goes on. That struggle for the further perfection of our democracy now faces new challenges from war, terrorism, the spread of nuclear and rocket technology, the rising economies around the world rivaling our own, and possibly from climate changes induced by human activites. Those are all subjects explored in this book. They have all been the subject of Presidential policies for many decades. The policies of the present administration, coming to an end in 2008, are a particular target of this book, and are herein disapproved in many respects. That is not to say that previous administrations are given unfettered applause; on the contrary there is plenty of blame to go around. As the author says in his preface, you may disagree with his ideas or his conclusions, and his hope and expectation is only that you will give serious thought to these important matters. The elements of Presidential policy earning the greatest disapprobation by this author lie in the area of the expression and use of military power by the United States. In particular, as set forth in Chapters 1 and 2, the author decries: the assertion that the executive power of the President supercedes the legislative power of the Congress; the concept that the designation of the President as Commander in Chief in any way confers upon him a power to commit armed forces of the United States into combat; the militarization of our foreign policy; the denigration of the United Nations and the disregard of our solemn commitments under the Charter; the very concept of preventative war; the growing dominance of a military-industrial complex; and the belief that military action is an appropriate or effective response to terrorism in the world. In Chapter 3 the book turns to economic and social policies, considering various aspects of governmental involvement in social welfare, the regulation of business activities, and taxation. Foreign trade and foreign aid are also considered. And the author offers comments on aspects of cultural and religious biases affecting those subjects. Chapter 4 is concerned with scientific and environme

Download or read book Talking to Strangers written by Malcolm Gladwell and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Outliers, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers and why they often go wrong—now with a new afterword by the author. A Best Book of the Year: The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Press How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to one another that isn’t true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland—throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don’t know. And because we don’t know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.
Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
