Doug Rushkoff “The battle in which our children are engaged seems to pass beneath our radar screens, in a language we don’t understand. But we see the confusion and despair that results. How did we get in this predicament, and is there a way out?” Branded World: The Success of the Nike Logo Michael Levine “How did Nike transform the category of sports footwear into the massive $14 billion business it is today? And how did it manage to grab an astounding 45 percent of the market by the year 2000.” The $100 Christmas Bill McKibben A small revolt takes hold in the author’s New England hometown when a local minister proposes families celebrate a “$100 holiday.” READING THE VISUAL: Bump Amitai Etzioni "A culture in which the urge to consume dominates the psychology of citizens is a culture in which people will do most anything to acquire the means to consume…they will buy homes beyond their means and think nothing of running up credit-card debt." The Design Imperative Robert Horning "Thanks to this 'variety revolution,' once mundane products like toilet brushes, spatulas, and ice cube trays are now complemented by design so flamboyant that it’s unmistakable even to the untrained consumer’s eye, affording them an a-ha moment in which they can think to themselves, with some satisfaction, 'Wow, that toilet brush is cool.'” With These Words, I Can Sell You Anything William Lutz “Advertisers use weasel words to appear to be making a claim for a product when in fact they are making no claim at all.” The Language of Advertising Charles A. O’Neill “The language of advertising is a language of finely engineered, ruthlessly purposeful messages.” Sample Ads and Study Questions CHAPTER 11: Gender Matters Saplings in the Storm Mary Pipher “Something dramatic happens to girls in early adolescence. Just as planes and ships disappear mysteriously into the Bermuda Triangle, so do the selves of girls go down in droves. They crash and burn in a social and developmental Bermuda Triangle.” The Bully in the Mirror Stephen S. Hall “Tormented by an unattainable ideal, boys are learning what girls have long known: it isn’t easy living in a Baywatch world.” READING THE VISUAL: NEDA Ad and BOD Ad What I Think About the Fashion World Liz Jones “We decided to publish two covers for the same edition [of Marie Claire]–one featuring Sophie Dahl, a size 12; the other, Pamela Anderson, a minute size 6–and we asked readers to chose . . . You would think that we had declared war.” "Not so long ago, the average mid-twentysomething had achieved most of adulthood’s milestones–high school degree, financial independence, marriage, and children. These days, he lingers–happily–in a new hybrid state of semi-hormonal adolescence and responsible self-reliance." In the Combat Zone Leslie Marmon Silko “It isn’t height or weight or strength that makes women easy targets; from infancy women are taught to be self-sacrificing, passive victims.” Where the Boys Aren’t Melana Zyla Vickers Here's a thought that's unlikely to occur to twelfth--grade girls as their college acceptances begin to trickle in: After they get to campus in the fall, one in four of them will be mathematically unable to find a male peer to go out with. READING THE VISUAL: Don Reilly's "Asking for Directions" Cartoon And May your First Child Be a Feminine Child Aaron Traister "My buddies ribbed me about having a yucky girl baby. One friend went so far as to assure me my wife and I would only have girl babies for future pregnancies as well. It would be a plague on my house. When it turned out the curse had been lifted -- or, more precisely, that it never existed -- I admit: I crowed." Scott Russell Sanders "When the women I met at college thought about the joys and privileges of men, they did not carry in their minds the sort of men I had known in my childhood." Chapter 12 Church and State The Wall That Never Was Hugh Heclo "A hundred years ago, advanced thinkers were all but unanimous in dismissing religion as a relic of mankind’s mental infancy. What’s being dismissed today is the idea that humanity will outgrow religion.” Why We’re Not One Nation “Under God” David Greenberg “Since the founding, critics of America’s secularism have repeatedly sought to break down the church-state wall.” READING THE VISUAL: Rob Rogers' "Church and State" Cartoon God of Our Fathers Walter Isaacson "Whenever an argument arises about the role that religion should play in our civic life, such as the dispute over the phrase ‘under God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance... assertions about the faith of the founders are invariably bandied about.” Public Prayers on State Occasions Need Not Be Divisive or Generic Charles Haynes “Since it’s difficult to imagine any... president eliminating the tradition of opening and closing the inauguration with prayer, is there a way to pray that is genuine and yet somehow speaks to our nation’s expanding diversity?” READING THE VISUAL: Church and State What Happy Holidays? Cathy Young “Peace on Earth? Forget it. Nowadays, Christmas is a battle in the culture wars.” Deck the Halls? Bridget Samburg “The tension that we face is a larger tension about what the relationship of religion and state should be in America. We agree that the notion of a triumphant Christianity in society or in the classroom is inappropriate.” End the War on Christmas Edward Grinnan "To proclaim the existence of a war on Christmas and then start fighting it, on both sides, is odious, whether it's an atheist taking umbrage over an innocuous nativity display or a Christian intolerant of any homogenization of the season." Prayer and Creationism -- Met with Supreme Hostility Stuart Taylor Jr. "It may now be unconstitutional for a public school teacher or student leader to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in class. Or at a football game. Or at a graduation. Or to recite the Declaration of Independence. Or to sing the national anthem." A New Theology of Celebration Francis S. Collins “As one of a large number of scientists who believe in God, I find it deeply troubling to watch the escalating culture wars between science and faith, especially in America.” Chapter 13 University Life Diversity: The Value of Discomfort Ronald D. Liebowitz "It is no longer adequate to understand only one’s own culture.... To succeed in the 21st century you need to be multi-cultural, multi-national, and multi-operational in how you think. And you can only be multi-cultural, multi-national, and multi-operational if you feel comfortable with the notion of difference.” Who Should Get into College? John H. McWhorter “Even as we seek diversity in the worthy, we must recognize that students need to be able to excel at college-level studies. Nobody wins, after all, when a young man or woman of whatever color, unprepared for the academic rigors of a top university, flunks out.” What’s Wrong with Vocational School? Charles Murray “[Unqualified students] are in college to improve their chances of making a good living. What they really need is vocational training. But nobody will say so, because ‘vocational training’ is second class. ‘College’ is first class.” Welcome to the Fun-Free University David Weigel “Many college administrators throughout the country are taking great pains to keep their students under tight control. The return of in loco parentis is killing student freedom.” Parental Notification: Fact or Fiction Joel Epstein On campuses across the country, inebriated students are being written up and told that under a newly enacted disciplinary policy their parents will be notified. Can a school really confront student drinking in this manner? A’s for Everyone! Alicia Shepard "The students were relentless. They showed up at my office to insist I reread their papers and boost their grades. They asked to retake tests they hadn't done well on. They bombarded me with e-mails questioning grades. What was going on?" READING THE VISUAL: The Gazette's "Passive Activism Ideal" Cartoon What’s the Matter with College? Rick Perlstein "College campuses seem to have lost their centrality. Why do college and college students no longer lead the culture? Why does student life no longer seem all that important? Here’s one answer: College as America used to understand it is coming to an end." The Post-Everything Generation Nicholas Handler "On campus, we sign petitions, join organizations, put our names on mailing lists, make small-money contributions, volunteer a spare hour to tutor, and sport an entire wardrobe’s worth of Live Strong bracelets advertising our moderately priced opposition to everything from breast cancer to global warming. But what do we really stand for?" Chapter 14 Race and Ethnicity The Myth of the Latina Woman Judith Ortiz Cofer “There are... thousands of Latinas without the privilege of an education or the entrée into society that I have. For them life is a struggle against the misconceptions perpetuated by the myth of the Latina as whore, domestic or criminal.” Leaving Race Behind Amitai Etzioni "I refused to check off one of the specific racial options on the U.S. Census form and instead marked a box labeled 'Other.' I later found out that the federal government assigned me to a racial category. Learning this made me conjure up what I admit is a far-fetched association. I was in this place once before…when I was a Jewish child in Nazi Germany.” Who Is a Whiz-Kid? Ted Gup "Stereotypes that hint at superiority in one race implicitly suggest inferiority in another. They are ultimately divisive, and in their most virulent form, even deadly.” Why Racial Profiling Makes for Dumb Security Ahmed Rehab "The racial profiling argument is lazy and unimaginative; most of all it is irresponsible because it evades the real problem starring us in the face: a fatal breakdown in communication between our intelligence units." READING THE VISUAL Chief Wahoo You Can’t Judge a Crook by His Color Randall Kennedy Racial profiling may be justified, but is it still wrong? READING THE VISUAL: Pulling Teeth American Civil Liberties Union Welcome to the Dollhouse Francie Latour "Is it really fair to expect a toy conglomerate to be at the vanguard of ideas about race and beauty? For that, we would presumably look to real black women leaders. And when we look up to them, what we find is more straight hair. Actually, straight hair with blinding sheen." Our Biracial President James Hannaham "But both radical leftists and radical right-wingers need to understand the same thing: Obama is not Malcolm X. He's not even Kanye West." Chapter 15 Passing the Buck: Our Economy in Crisis? How the Crash Will Reshape America Richard Florida "No place in the United States is likely to escape a long and deep recession. As the crisis deepens, it will permanently and profoundly alter the country’s economic landscape. I believe it marks the end of a chapter in American economic history, and indeed, the end of a whole way of life." Saving Yourself "Unfortunately, for a people who love money, we’ve become very good at making it disappear, a task to which we’ve brought characteristic ingenuity and verve. Reckless overspending was until recently a course open to practically every American, just like reckless investing." Let It Die "With any luck, the economy will never recover. Alas, I’m not being sarcastic. If you had spent the last decade, as I have, reviewing the way a centralized economic plan ravaged the real world over the past 500 years, you would appreciate the current financial meltdown for what it is: a comeuppance." READING THE VISUAL: Scenes from the Depression Generation Debt Anya Kamenetz "If you look at where public resources are directed–toward the already wealthy, toward building prisons and expanding the military, away from education and jobs programs–it is easy to see a prejudice against young people as a class." Millennials’ Heads Under a Rock "The GI generation, by all accounts, appears to have raised one of the biggest groups of spoiled kids our country has ever seen. The Baby Boomers. And the Boomers are burying the Millennial generation and their grandkids in debt and chaos. And that seems wrong to this Gen X'er." Recession a Dose of Reality for Young Workers “Why don’t they want to hire me? I went through four years of college, graduated. You get praised while you are working and then all the sudden you are not employable.” Maxed Out James D. Scurlock "Janne O’Donnell remembers when she took her took her son Sean to college. As they carried Sean’s belongings across campus, she noticed a number of tables advertising credit cards. 'But I didn’t worry,' she recalls. 'Sean was 18, he didn’t have a job. Who would give him a credit card?'" Why Won't Anyone Give Me a Credit Card? Kevin O’Donnell "My quest for credit is a paradoxical one: How can I establish a credit history when banks won't let me create one in the first place?" Chapter 16 Our Lives Online Is Google Making Us Stoopid? "Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t going–so far as I can tell–but it’s changing." In the Beginning Was the Word Christine Rosen "Screen technologies such as the cell phone and laptop computer that are supposedly revolutionizing reading also potentially offer us greater control over our time. In practice, however, they have increased our anxiety about having too little of it by making us available anytime and anywhere." My Facebook, My Self Jessica Helfand "Who is to say what’s right or wrong, what’s appropriate or not, what’s shared, what’s seen, what’s hidden? But as projections of ourselves, a Facebook identity, made manifest through a person's posted photo albums, inhabits a public trajectory that goes way beyond who and what we are. And it all starts with what–and more critically, who–we actually show." Scientific Proof in an Age of Wikipedia TJ Kelleher "Wikipedia. Much of the world thinks of it as an indispensable first step for researching anything, but it still has its critics: Some have called Wikipedia 'a public toilet' and its editorial style 'digital Maoism.'" Three Tweets for the Web Tyler Cowen "The printed word is not dead. But we are clearly in the midst of a cultural transformation. There is no question that books are becoming less central to our cultural life." READING THE VISUAL: Marty Bucella's "My Kids, MySpace" Cartoon Treading Water in a Sea of Data Peter Suderman "We have entered the age of push technologies. But the problem is that they turn out to be, well, pushy." Facebook Sees Dead People Sandip Roy "When William showed up as a suggested friend on Facebook I almost clicked on the link. Then I remembered I had gotten a mail about his memorial service months ago. In the eternal sunshine of Facebook’s mind we could still become friends." Facebook, the Mean Girls, and Me Taffy Brodesser-Akner "Am I pathetic? Maybe. But what I also am, finally, is a popular seventh-grader. I think of my younger self, eating her lunch alone, wondering when this agony will be over. I wish I could tell her I haven't forgotten about her. I wish I could tell her I've made it OK." Chapter 17 Human Rights and Wrongs Universal Declaration of Human Rights General Assembly of the United Nations The full text of the historic Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted and proclaimed in 1948 by the General Assembly of the United Nations is presented. Don’t Close Gitmo Judith Miller "It’s time for the Obama administration to acknowledge that Gitmo, or another center like it, will be needed as long as the War on Terror–no matter what our commander-in-chief calls it–endures." The Torture Memos Noam Chomsky "Historical amnesia is a dangerous phenomenon, not only because it undermines moral and intellectual integrity, but also because it lays the groundwork for crimes that lie ahead." The Meaning of Freedom The Economist "Western governments, and decent people everywhere, should try to ensure that the things they say do not entrench religious prejudice or incite acts of violence; being free to give offence does not mean you are wise to give offence. But no state, and certainly no body that calls itself a Human Rights Council, should trample on the right to free speech enshrined in the Universal Declaration.” READING THE VISUAL: Piero Tonin's "Media Blitz" Cartoon The Detention Debacle Arlene Roberts "Across the nation detention facilities are run by private companies that are not held accountable for what transpires within the confines of their facilities. As a result, former detainees recount tales of horror and abuse." Statement from Marlene Jaggernauth, Women's Refugee Commission “Had I not personally experienced detention, I would never have believed such inhumane conditions existed in the United States. I was trapped in a cruel unjust system, and I could only watch, powerless, as lives unraveled around me.” Immigration Quotas vs. Individual Rights: The Moral and Practical Case for Open Immigration Harry Binswanger "A foreigner has rights just as much as an American. To be a foreigner is not to be a criminal. Yet our government treats as criminals those foreigners not lucky enough to win the green-card lottery." Why Feminism is AWOL on Islam Kay S. Hymowitz "Argue all you want with many feminist policies, but few quarrel with feminism’s core moral insight, which changed the lives (and minds) of women forever: that women are due the same rights and dignity as men. So, as news of the appalling miseries of women in the Islamic world has piled up, where are the feminists? Where’s the outrage?" Credits Index Table of Contents
