How I Escaped from Political Correctness, and You Can Too

Loretta Graziano Breuning, 2018. Paperback. Pp: 210. You care about the greater good, but you want to define it for yourself. What if you disagree with the politically correct view? You fear ridicule, shunning and attack, so you tell yourself it's not worth it and find a way to conform. Until one day you can't. I was politically correct until the day I heard myself lie about a simple fact because the truth didn't sound progressive. I froze- in the middle of a lecture to 150 students. Enough! I decided to take back my brain. I gave myself permission to see what I see and know what I know instead of living in fear. It cost me, but the benefits outweighed the costs. Here is the story of my transition. You can do it too. This book shows you how: biology drives political correctness you can enjoy the rewards of political correctness without it you can feel good when conformity surrounds you What do I mean by Political Correctness? I do not mean the hot-button dramas that fill the headlines. They are just tribal solidarity rituals. I mean the belief that we are suffering under a "bad system." Political correctness trains you to feel victimized by bad guys running the bad system, and to fight them by following the leaders of political correctness. If you follow, you get to be one of the good guys and share in the rewards that these leaders control. If you don't follow, you are labelled a bad guy and excommunicated. This message is so pervasive that we take it for granted. I only questioned it after decades of noticing a gap between the facts of my life and the politically correct dogma. I saw that the good guys are not all good and the bad guys are not all bad. I tried to overlook the inconvenient facts because I feared excommunication. But when I had kids, I saw how harmful it is for children to be taught that they're powerless victims. I did not want my kids to blame their frustrations on bad guys and "the system." I wanted them to believe in themselves instead of just following the lead of political correctness. It's hard to leave the world view that has shaped your life. I searched for alternatives, but after all I'd been through, I could not embrace another preconceived belief system. I looked for answers that fit reality as I'd lived it. My search led to amazing research on the social behavior of animals. This showed me that political correctness is biological. The brain chemicals that make us feel good are inherited from earlier mammals. They reward us for behaviors that promote survival in the state of nature. Political correctness stimulates your reward chemicals in primal ways. I'm not saying we're hard-wired. On the contrary, our neurons are not connected at birth. We connect them from life experience, and these connections make us who we are. Early experience wires you to expect rewards and pain in ways that happened before. Political correctness wires you to expect rewards and pain in specific ways. It's hard to re-wire yourself after the neuroplasticity of youth, which is why people cling to political correctness even when they see its flaws. I finally ripped off the PC goggles and looked at the world without them. You can say I haven't escaped political correctness because it's still there. But I have stopped filtering reality through the lens built by the gatekeepers of political correctness. I have learned to focus on the pleasure of my own choices instead of on solidarity with suffering. You can rip off the PC goggles and enjoy your own choices too. You'll be glad you did!.

Ibram X. Kendi 305061

How to Be an Antiracist

Random House Publishing Group, 2019. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 320. From the National Book Award-winning author of Stamped from the Beginning comes a bracingly original approach to understanding and uprooting racism and inequality in our society-and in ourselves. "The only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it-and then dismantle it." Ibram X. Kendi's concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America-but even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it. In this book, Kendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science, bringing it all together with an engaging personal narrative of his own awakening to antiracism. How to Be an Antiracist is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond an awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a truly just and equitable society. Advance praise for How to Be an Antiracist "This latest from the National Book Award-winning author is no guidebook to getting woke. Rather, it is a combination of memoir and extension of. Kendi's towering Stamped From the Beginning that leads readers through a taxonomy of racist thought to anti-racist action. Never wavering. Kendi methodically examines racism through numerous lenses: power, biology, ethnicity, body, culture, and so forth. If Kendi is justifiably hard on America, he's just as hard on himself. This unsparing honesty helps readers, both white and people of color, navigate this difficult intellectual territory. Not an easy read but an essential one."-Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Ibram Kendi is today's visionary in the enduring struggle for racial justice. In this personal and revelatory new work, he yet again holds up a transformative lens, challenging both mainstream and antiracist orthodoxy. He illuminates the foundations of racism in revolutionary new ways, and I am consistently challenged and inspired by his analysis. How to Be an Antiracist offers us a necessary and critical way forward."-Robin DiAngelo, New York Times bestselling author of White Fragility. ISBN: 9780525509288. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

George Monbiot 65367

How Did We Get into This Mess?. Politics, Equality, Nature

VERSO, 2017. Paperback. Pp: 352. Leading political and environmental commentator on where we have gone wrong, and what to do about it Without countervailing voices, naming and challenging power, political freedom withers and dies. Without countervailing voices, a better world can never materialise. Without countervailing voices, wells will still be dug and bridges will still be built, but only for the few. Food will still be grown, but it will not reach the mouths of the poor. New medicines will be developed, but they will be inaccessible to many of those in need. George Monbiot is one of the most vocal, and eloquent, critics of the current consensus. How Did We Get into this Mess?, based on his powerful journalism, assesses the state we are now in: the devastation of the natural world, the crisis of inequality, the corporate takeover of nature, our obsessions with growth and profit and the decline of the political debate over what to do. While his diagnosis of the problems in front of us is clear-sighted and reasonable, he also develops solutions to challenge the politics of fear. How do we stand up to the powerful when they seem to have all the weapons? What can we do to prepare our children for an uncertain future? Controversial, clear but always rigorously argued, How Did We Get into this Mess? makes a persuasive case for change in our everyday lives, our politics and economics, the ways we treat each other and the natural world.

Humanizing the Digital Age

UN, 2007. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 144. In the worldwide globalization process, the new information and communication revolution offers multifaceted opportunities to countries, to societies and to people, if they are able to grab them. Human creativity, knowledge, productivity, innovation, skills, capacities and capabilities are becoming essential prerequisites to success. Governments that encourage investments in people, in education, in research and development and in life-long learning and training are taking the most advantage of the globalization process. It is becoming well-recognized that people should be placed at the center of all concerns. In other words, the new information revolution needs to be humanized if one wants to prevent a new divide-namely the digital divide. During the 21st century the yardistick used for the measurement of a country's development level will be the computer-literacy rate and no longer the adult-literacy ratio. The subject of this book is this new reality. Book jacket. ISBN: 9789211045666. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
