Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the defining features of twenty-first century American politics has been the rise of affective polarization: Americans increasingly report that they distrust and dislike those from the other party and want to avoid interacting with them in a wide range seemingly non-political contexts, from Thanksgiving dinners to dating. This has damaging downstream consequences: many studies and evidence from our everyday lives shows that affective polarization reduces electoral accountability, weakens support for the democratic norms, and makes it more difficult for Americans to responded to crises, such as COVID-19. What, if anything, can be done? Our Common Bonds shows that-although affective polarization has multiple causes and there is no silver bullet that will eradicate it-there are concrete interventions that can reduce it. Matthew Levendusky argues that partisan animus stems in part from individuals misperceiving how much they have in common with those from the other party. Survey and experimental evidence show that priming shared identities and connections outside of politics can help people to reframe the lens through which they evaluate the out-party and, in so doing, turn down the partisan temperature"--

Book Human Limits and Common Bonds

Download or read book Human Limits and Common Bonds written by Ron Dudick, PhD and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first part of this book is an analysis. It is the breaking down of personal and interpersonal, social and psychological experiences and events into their component parts. It begins with a discussion of individuality and uniqueness. The following chapter is about personal and interpersonal deeds, and how surface differences so often blur their similarities, identities, and limits. The next chapter about words addresses how we use them to inform and enlighten, and abuse them to mislead, deceive, and create those many myths and illusions of greater human diversity and complexity than truly exists. Followng that is the chapter about unobservables, their similarities, identities, and limits, and how we know about what goes on "inside" of one another. The concluding two chapters are about the similarities, identities, and limits of personal and interpersonal situations and circumstances, human predictability and how and why we are all far more predictable than most of us are willing to acknowledge and admit. The second part of this work is a synthesis. In the chapters are discussed the many different surface faces and forms of those things defined and discussed in part one. It includes chapters about societies, law and order, chaos and tyranny, corruption and collapse, technology, the social sciences, normalcy and deviance, beliefs and theories, and the what's and whys of their similarities, identities, limits, nobilities and ignobility's. The final two chapters, therapies I and II, addresses individual and collective actions, reactions, interactions, options and alternatives.

Ways for enabling students to discard existing stereotypes and actively question and reject attitudes and actions not congruent with a pluralistic society are suggested.

Book The Bonds of Debt

Download or read book The Bonds of Debt written by Richard Dienst and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indebtedness as the universal condition of modern life The credit crisis has pushed the whole world so far into the red that the gigantic sums involved defy understanding. On a human level, what does such an enormous degree of debt and insolvency mean? In this timely book, cultural critic Richard Dienst considers the financial crisis, global poverty, media politics and radical theory to parse the various implications of a world where man is born free but everywhere is in debt. Written with humor and verve, Bonds of Debt ranges across subjects—such as Obama’s national security strategy, the architecture of Prada stores, press photos of Bono, and a fairy tale told by Karl Marx—to capture a modern condition founded on fiscal imprudence. Moving beyond the dominant pieties and widespread anxieties surrounding the topic, Dienst re-conceives the world’s massive financial obligations as a social, economic, and political bond, where the crushing weight of objectified wealth comes face to face with new demands for equality and solidarity. For this inspired analysis, we are indebted to him.

Book The Bluebird Effect

  • Author : Julie Zickefoose
  • Publisher : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • Release : 2012-03-20
  • ISBN : 0547727429
  • Pages : 389 pages

Download or read book The Bluebird Effect written by Julie Zickefoose and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2012-03-20 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julie Zickefoose lives for the moment when a wild, free living bird that she has raised or rehabilitated comes back to visit her; their eyes meet and they share a spark of understanding. Her reward for the grueling work of rescuing birds—such as feeding baby hummingbirds every twenty minutes all day long—is her empathy with them and the satisfaction of knowing the world is a birdier and more beautiful place. The Bluebird Effect is about the change that's set in motion by one single act, such as saving an injured bluebird—or a hummingbird, swift, or phoebe. Each of the twenty five chapters covers a different species, and many depict an individual bird, each with its own personality, habits, and quirks. And each chapter is illustrated with Zickefoose's stunning watercolor paintings and drawings. Not just individual tales about the trials and triumphs of raising birds, The Bluebird Effect mixes humor, natural history, and memoir to give readers an intimate story of a life lived among wild birds.

  • Author : Dennis Klass
  • Publisher : Taylor & Francis
  • Release : 2014-05-12
  • ISBN : 1317763602
  • Pages : 388 pages

Download or read book Continuing Bonds written by Dennis Klass and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1996. This new book gives voice to an emerging consensus among bereavement scholars that our understanding of the grief process needs to be expanded. The dominant 20th century model holds that the function of grief and mourning is to cut bonds with the deceased, thereby freeing the survivor to reinvest in new relationships in the present. Pathological grief has been defined in terms of holding on to the deceased. Close examination reveals that this model is based more on the cultural values of modernity than on any substantial data of what people actually do. Presenting data from several populations, 22 authors - among the most respected in their fields - demonstrate that the health resolution of grief enables one to maintain a continuing bond with the deceased. Despite cultural disapproval and lack of validation by professionals, survivors find places for the dead in their on-going lives and even in their communities. Such bonds are not denial: the deceased can provide resources for enriched functioning in the present. Chapters examine widows and widowers, bereaved children, parents and siblings, and a population previously excluded from bereavement research: adoptees and their birth parents. Bereavement in Japanese culture is also discussed, as are meanings and implications of this new model of grief. Opening new areas of research and scholarly dialogue, this work provides the basis for significant developments in clinical practice in the field.
