| ben shapiro zoey tur: Get Out Now Mary Rice Hasson, Theresa Farnan, 2018-08-14 Should we stay or should we go? Millions of parents with children in public schools can't believe they're asking this question. But they are. And you should be asking it too. Almost overnight, America's public schools have become morally toxic. And they are especially poisonous for the hearts and minds of children from religious families of every faith—ordinary families who value traditional morality and plain old common sense. Parents' first duty is to their children—to their intellect, their character, their souls. The facts on the ground point to one conclusion: get out now. |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: Real Philosophy for Real People Fr. Robert McTeigue, .S.J., 2020 The philosopher Paul Weiss once observed, Philosophers let theories get in the way of what they and everyone else know. For many, the very word philosophical has become all but synonymous with impractical. Yet whether we like it or not, almost every corner of our lives—from dissertation writing to channel surfing—brings us face to face with competing philosophies and world views, each claiming to tell us definitively what it means to be human. How can we know which one is right? And what difference does it make? To Robert McTeigue, S.J., it makes every difference in the world. Consciously or not, we all have a world view, and it decides how we live. In this book, McTeigue gives a funny and invigorating crash course in practical logic, metaphysics, anthropology, and ethics, equipping readers with a tool kit for breaking down and evaluating the thought systems—some good, some toxic—that swirl around us, and even within us. In McTeigue, classical philosophy finds a contemporary voice, accessible to the layman and engaging to the scholar. Real Philosophy for Real People is an answer to those philosophies that prize theory over truth, to any metaphysics that cannot account for itself, to anthropologies that are unworthy of the human person, and to ethical systems that reduce the great dignity and destiny of the human person. As the author insists, A key test of any philosophy is: Can it be lived? With Thomas Aquinas, this book teaches not only how to know the truth, but how to love it and to do it. |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: The Illuminati in Hollywood Mark Dice, 2016-02-25 The infamous Illuminati secret society represents the pinnacle of power in politics, banking, and the news media; but what about the entertainment industry? Do Hollywood’s elite studios, producers, and celebrities have a secret agenda? Are they part of a covert conspiracy? Media analyst Mark Dice will show you exactly how Hollywood uses celebrities and entertainment as a powerful propaganda tool to shape our culture, attitudes, behaviors, and to promote corrupt government policies and programs. You will see how the CIA and the Pentagon work hand in hand with Hollywood to produce blockbuster movies and popular television shows crafted to paint positive portraits of war, Orwellian government surveillance, unconstitutional agendas, and more. You’ll also learn the strange and secret spiritual beliefs of the stars that fuel their egos and appetites for fame and wealth, making them perfect puppets for the corporate controllers behind the scenes. And you will also discover the rare instances of anti-Illuminati celebrities who have dared to bite the hand that feeds them. Character Howard Beale once warned in the 1976 classic film Network, “This tube is the most awesome God-damned force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls in to the hands of the wrong people,” and unfortunately that is exactly what has happened. |

| ben shapiro zoey tur: Panic Attack Robby Soave, 2019-06-18 Since the 2016 election, college campuses have erupted in violent protests, demands for safe spaces, and the silencing of views that activist groups find disagreeable. Who are the leaders behind these protests, and what do they want? In Panic Attack, libertarian journalist Robby Soave answers these questions by profiling young radicals from across the political spectrum. Millennial activism has risen to new heights in the age of Trump. Although Soave may not personally agree with their motivations and goals, he takes their ideas seriously, approaching his interviews with a mixture of respect and healthy skepticism. The result is a faithful cross-section of today's radical youth, which will appeal to libertarians, conservatives, centrist liberals, and anyone who is alarmed by the trampling of free speech and due process in the name of social justice. |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: Brainwashed Ben Shapiro, 2010-06-14 Brainwashed is the explosive exposé of the leftist agenda at work in today's colleges, revealed by firebrand Ben Shapiro—syndicated columnist, podcaster, radio show host, and one of today's most exciting conservative voices—who’s been on the front lines of the battle for America's young minds. This book proves once and for all that so-called higher education continues to sink lower and lower into the depths of liberal madness as close-minded professors turn their students into socialists, atheists, race-baiters, and sex-crazed narcissists. In this book, author Ben Shapiro asks three critical questions: Why are universities so biased? Why do students take their professors at face value? What can we do to stop it? In addition to outlining practical solutions as part of a multi-pronged strategy to deal with this problem, Brainwashed encourages students to consider the motives of their professors; pay attention to how professors use facts and editorialize during lectures; and ask questions, encourage debate, and think before buying into a professor’s mindset. Praise for Brainwashed: Ben Shapiro's writing is smart, informative, and incisive. He is wise beyond his years without losing the refreshing fearlessness of youth. Ann Coulter, bestselling author of High Crimes and Misdemeanors, Slander, and Treason In Brainwashed, Shapiro tells the truth—that universities are forums of left-liberal indoctrination, where dissent is discouraged and penalized, with more restrictions on free speech rather any other part of American society. Parents who are paying for tuition might want to take note, and see what their hard-earned money is paying for. Michael Barone, U.S. News & World Report and co-author of The Almanac of American Politics Welcome to P.C. 101. In this trenchant insider's expose, Ben Shapiro bears witness to the modern American campus freak show. You'll get up close and personal with the Marxist loons, moral relativists, multicultural zealots, and American-haters who are corrupting young minds. Brainwashed reveals the ignominious lows to which higher education has sunk. Get deprogrammed. Buy this book! Michelle Malkin, nationally syndicated columnist and author of Invasion Sharp thinking, tight writing, crazy-but-true stories: Ben Shapiro sees campus brainwashing and raises a national protest.

| ben shapiro zoey tur: That's Not Funny Matt Sienkiewicz, Nick Marx, 2024-03-26 A 2022 Best Comedy Book, Vulture A rousing call for liberals and progressives to pay attention to the emergence of right-wing comedy and the political power of humor. Why do conservatives hate comedy? Why is there no right-wing Jon Stewart? These sorts of questions launch a million tweets, a thousand op-eds, and more than a few scholarly analyses. That's Not Funny argues that it is both an intellectual and politically strategic mistake to assume that comedy has a liberal bias. Matt Sienkiewicz and Nick Marx take readers––particularly self-described liberals––on a tour of contemporary conservative comedy and the right-wing comedy complex. In That's Not Funny, complex takes on an important double meaning. On the one hand, liberals have developed a social-psychological complex—it feels difficult, even dangerous, to acknowledge that their political opposition can produce comedy. At the same time, the right has been slowly building up a comedy-industrial complex, utilizing the humorous, irony-laden media strategies of liberals such as Jon Stewart, Samantha Bee, and John Oliver to garner audiences and supporters. Right-wing comedy has been hiding in plain sight, finding its way into mainstream conservative media through figures ranging from Fox News's Greg Gutfeld to libertarian podcasters like Joe Rogan. That's Not Funny taps interviews with conservative comedians and observations of them in action to guide readers through media history, text, and technique. You will find many of these comedians utterly appalling, some surprisingly funny, and others just plain weird. They are all, however, culturally and politically relevant—the American right is attempting to seize spaces of comedy and irony previously held firmly by the left. You might not like this brand of humor, but you can't ignore it. |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: Speechless Michael Knowles, 2021-06-22 'Political correctness' has taken politeness and turned it into a weapon of censorship and intimidation. In the workplace, on social media, and even at the dinner table, Americans are confronted daily with a laundry list of words they're 'not allowed' to say--and that list is updated constantly and without warning. How did so absurd a concept become so dangerous--and come to dominate our public discourse over the last quarter-century? [This book]...traces the history and effects of political correctness from the early twentieth century to the present, revealing its insidious roots, exposing the power-hungry language architects behind its ever-growing control, and examining what this concerted manipulation of speech means for the future of American culture, politics, and minds--Publisher. |

| ben shapiro zoey tur: Reset Ellen Pao, 2017-09-19 The “necessary and incisive” (Roxane Gay) account of the discrimination case that “has blown open a conversation about the status of women” in the workplace (The New York Times) SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 FINANCIAL TIMES AND MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR | NAMED A BEST FALL BOOK BY ELLE AND BUSTLE In 2015, Ellen K. Pao sued a powerhouse Silicon Valley venture capital firm, calling out workplace discrimination and retaliation against women and other underrepresented groups. Her suit rocked the tech world—and exposed its toxic culture and its homogeneity. Her message overcame negative PR attacks that took aim at her professional conduct and her personal life, and she won widespread public support—Time hailed her as “the face of change.” Though Pao lost her suit, she revolutionized the conversation at tech offices, in the media, and around the world. In Reset, she tells her full story for the first time. The daughter of immigrants, Pao was taught that through hard work she could achieve her dreams. She earned multiple Ivy League degrees, worked at top startups, and in 2005 was recruited by Kleiner Perkins, arguably the world’s leading venture capital firm at the time. In many ways, she did everything right, and yet she and other women and people of color were excluded from success—cut out of decisive meetings and email discussions, uninvited to CEO dinners and lavish networking trips, and had their work undercut or appropriated by male executives. It was time for a system reset. After Kleiner, Pao became CEO of reddit, where she took forceful action to change the status quo for the company and its product. She banned revenge porn and unauthorized nude photos—an action other large media sites later followed—and shut down parts of reddit over online harassment. She and seven other women tech leaders formed Project Include, an award-winning nonprofit for accelerating diversity and inclusion in tech. In her book, Pao shines a light on troubling issues that plague today’s workplace and lays out practical, inspiring, and achievable goals for a better future. Ellen K. Pao’s Reset is a rallying cry—the story of a whistleblower who aims to empower everyone struggling to be heard, in Silicon Valley and beyond. Praise for Reset “Necessary and incisive . . . As Ellen Pao detailed her experiences, while also communicating her passion for the work men often impeded her from doing, I was nothing short of infuriated. It was great to see a highly accomplished woman of color speaking out like this, and hopefully this book will encourage more women to come forward, give voice to their experiences in the workplace, and contribute to meaningful change.”—Roxane Gay |

| ben shapiro zoey tur: Wahnsinn der Massen Douglas Murray, 2022-05-15 Der The Sunday Times-Bestseller jetzt in komplett überarbeiteter Neuauflage. Douglas Murray kämpft den wichtigen Kampf um die Meinungsfreiheit. Ein wahrhaftiger Blick auf eines der spaltendsten Themen unserer Gegenwart. Jordan B. Peterson Das neue Buch von Murray ist überwältigend und sollte gelesen werden, MUSS gelesen werden - von jedem! Richard Dawkins Douglas Murray, Autor des The Sunday Times #1-Bestsellers »Der Selbstmord Europas«, widmet sich in seinem neuen Buch »Wahnsinn der Massen« den vielleicht polarisierendsten Themen unserer Zeit. Gleichberechtigung zwischen den Geschlechtern, zwischen Menschen unterschiedlicher Herkunft und sexueller Orientierung sind wichtige Errungenschaften unserer Gesellschaft. Doch unsere Bemühungen um eine gerechtere Gesellschaft schießen oft über das Ziel hinaus und nehmen hysterische Züge an. Diese neuen Kulturkriege erleben die Menschen immer häufiger an ihren Arbeitsplätzen sowie den Universitäten und Schulen, oft im Namen der sozialen Gerechtigkeit oder Identitätspolitik. In unserer postmodernen Zeit wird der Kampf im Namen religiöser und politischer Ideologien immer mehr durch das Streben nach individueller Aufmerksamkeit und Anerkennung ersetzt, so dass mitunter auch kleine Interessengruppen immer öfter die politische und gesellschaftliche Agenda dominieren. Murray zeigt, wie wir im Ringen um die Anerkennung jedes Einzelnen unsere Vernunft, unsere gemeinsamen Werte und letztlich unsere Menschlichkeit verlieren. Ein wichtiges Plädoyer für die Redefreiheit, für vernunftgeleitete Diskussionen und gegen den zuweilen aufkeimenden Wahnsinn in einem Zeitalter der Massenhysterie. |

Neste seu novo livro, Douglas Murray analisa os assuntos mais fraturantes do século XXI, revelando as novas guerras culturais que acontecem nas empresas, nas universidades, nas escolas e dentro das nossas casas, em nome da justiça social e das políticas de identidade. Vivemos numa era em que as noções de religiião e ideologia política colapsaram. No seu lugar emergiu um desejo cego de corrigir o que está errado e uma militância de identidade, ambos potenciados pelas redes sociais. A agenda acabou dominada por um conjunto restrito de interesses enquanto a sociedade se torna cada vez mais tribal - e, como o autor mostra, as baixas estão a aumentar. Nenhum leitor, de qualquer quadrante político, pode ignorar este livro provocativo que procura dar sentido a discussão sobre os temas mais complicados do momento. A Insanidade das Massas termina com um impressionante apelo a liberdade de expressão, aos valores comuns e a sanidade numa era de histeria. |

Új könyvében Douglas Murray, a meghatározó Európa furcsa halála szerzõje a tömeghisztéria okait kutatja; hogyan uralt le mindent a nemi és faji megszállottság, hogyan vált aknamezõvé a közösségi média, ahol egy ártatlan megjegyzés is nyilvános kiátkozást eredményezhet, és hogyan vált a kultúra és a tudomány a félelem terepévé az abszurditásig fokozott politikai korrektség nevében. A brit konzervatív szerzõ a rá jellemzõ alapossággal és száraz humorral tárja fel a progresszió és egyenlõség terén létfontosságú eredményeket elérõ polgárjogi mozgalmak önmaguk ellen fordulását és szétesését. A klasszikus liberális eszméktõl a posztmarxista filozófián át a kortárs szórakoztatóiparig terjedõ nagy ívû elemzésében tüzetesen szemügyre veszi napjaink bolondériáit és az azokat tápláló, kártyavár stabilitású eszmerendszereket. A tömegek tébolya provokatív mû, provokációja pedig abban rejlik, hogy ellentmondást nem tûrõen kiáll a gondolat- és szólásszabadság, illetve a szabad vita joga mellett. Erõsen ajánlott olvasmány mindenkinek, aki nem csak Twitter-kompatibilissé butított szólamokból kíván tájékozódni a világról. |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: Culture Warrior Bill O'Reilly, 2007-10-09 With three straight #1 bestsellers and more than 4 million copies of his books in print, the most powerful traditional force in the American media now takes off his gloves in the ongoing struggle for America’s heart and soul. Bill O’Reilly is the very embodiment of the idea of a Culture Warrior—and in this book he lives up to the title brilliantly, with all the brashness and forthrightness at his command. He sees that America is in the midst of a fierce culture war between those who embrace traditional values and those who want to change America into a “secular-progressive” country. This is a conflict that differs in many ways from the usual liberal/conservative divide, but it is no less heated, and the stakes are even higher. In Culture Warrior, Bill O’Reilly defines this war and analyzes the competing philosophies of the traditionalist and secular-progressive camps. He examines why the nation’s motto “E Pluribus Unum” (“From Many, One”) might change to “What About Me?”; dissects the forces driving the secular-progressive agenda in the media and behind the scenes, including George Soros, George Lakoff, and the ACLU; and dives into matters of race, education, and the war on terror. He also shows how the culture war has played out in such high-profile instances as The Passion of the Christ, Fahrenheit 9/11, the abuse epidemic (child and otherwise), and the embattled place of religion in public life—with special emphasis on the war against Christmas. Whatever controversies are roiling the nation, he fearlessly confronts them—and no one will be in the dark about which side he’s on. Culture Warrior showcases Bill O’Reilly at his most eloquent and impassioned. He is an unrelenting fighter for the soul of America, and in this book he fights the good fight for the traditional values that have served this country so well for so long. |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: Bullies Ben Shapiro, 2013-01-08 In this galvanizing and alarming New York Times bestseller, “Ben Shapiro shows once and for all that the left is the single greatest source of bullying in modern American life” (Sean Hannity). While President Obama and the left like to pretend that they oppose bullying with all their hearts and souls, the truth is far darker: the left is the greatest purveyor of bullying in modern American history. Bullying has morphed into the left’s go-to tactic, as they attempt to quash their opponents through fear, threat of force, violence, and rhetorical intimidation on every major issue facing America today. In Bullies, Ben Shapiro uncovers the simple strategy used by liberals and their friends in the media: bully the living hell out of conservatives. Play the race card, the class card, the sexism card. Use any and every means at your disposal to demonize your opposition—to shut them up. Then pretend that such bullying is justified, because, after all, conservatives are the true bullies, and need to be taught a lesson for their intolerance. Hidden beneath the left’s supposed hatred of bullying lies a passionate love of its vulgar tactics. Dubbed by Glenn Beck “a warrior for conservatism, against those who use fear and intimidation to stifle honest debate,” Shapiro takes on the leftist bullies—the most despicable people in America. By exposing their hypocrisy, he offers conservatives a reality check in the face of what has become the gravest threat to American liberty: the left’s single-minded focus on ending political debate through bully tactics. |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: Songs of America Jon Meacham, Tim McGraw, 2019-06-11 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A celebration of American history through the music that helped to shape a nation, by Pulitzer Prize winner Jon Meacham and music superstar Tim McGraw “Jon Meacham and Tim McGraw form an irresistible duo—connecting us to music as an unsung force in our nation's history.”—Doris Kearns Goodwin Through all the years of strife and triumph, America has been shaped not just by our elected leaders and our formal politics but also by our music—by the lyrics, performers, and instrumentals that have helped to carry us through the dark days and to celebrate the bright ones. From “The Star-Spangled Banner” to “Born in the U.S.A.,” Jon Meacham and Tim McGraw take readers on a moving and insightful journey through eras in American history and the songs and performers that inspired us. Meacham chronicles our history, exploring the stories behind the songs, and Tim McGraw reflects on them as an artist and performer. Their perspectives combine to create a unique view of the role music has played in uniting and shaping a nation. Beginning with the battle hymns of the revolution, and taking us through songs from the defining events of the Civil War, the fight for women’s suffrage, the two world wars, the Great Depression, the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and into the twenty-first century, Meacham and McGraw explore the songs that defined generations, and the cultural and political climates that produced them. Readers will discover the power of music in the lives of figures such as Harriet Tubman, Franklin Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King, Jr., and will learn more about some of our most beloved musicians and performers, including Marian Anderson, Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, Duke Ellington, Carole King, Bruce Springsteen, and more. Songs of America explores both famous songs and lesser-known ones, expanding our understanding of the scope of American music and lending deeper meaning to the historical context of such songs as “My Country, ’Tis of Thee,” “God Bless America,” “Over There,” “We Shall Overcome,” and “Blowin’ in the Wind.” As Quincy Jones says, Meacham and McGraw have “convened a concert in Songs of America,” one that reminds us of who we are, where we’ve been, and what we, at our best, can be. |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: Like Brothers Mark Duplass, Jay Duplass, 2018-05-08 The multitalented writers, directors, producers, and actors (as seen on The League, Transparent, and The Mindy Project) share the secrets of their lifelong partnership in this unique memoir. “A book that anyone will love . . . You can enjoy it even if you have no idea who the Duplass brothers are.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times Whether producing, writing, directing, or acting, the Duplass Brothers have made their mark in the world of independent film and television on the strength of their quirky and empathetic approach to storytelling. Now, for the first time, Mark and Jay take readers on a tour of their lifelong partnership in this unique memoir told in essays that share the secrets of their success, the joys and frustrations of intimate collaboration, and the lessons they’ve learned the hard way. From a childhood spent wielding an oversized home video camera in the suburbs of New Orleans to their shared years at the University of Texas in early-nineties Austin, and from the breakthrough short they made on a three-dollar budget to the night their feature film Baghead became the center of a Sundance bidding war, Mark and Jay tell the story of a bond that’s resilient, affectionate, mutually empowering, and only mildly dysfunctional. They are brutally honest about how their closeness sabotaged their youthful romantic relationships, about the jealousy each felt when the other stole the spotlight as an actor (Mark in The League, Jay in Transparent), and about the challenges they faced on the set of their HBO series Togetherness—namely, too much togetherness. But Like Brothers is also a surprisingly practical road map to a rewarding creative partnership. Rather than split all their responsibilities fifty-fifty, the brothers learned to capitalize on each other’s strengths. They’re not afraid to call each other out, because they’re also not afraid to compromise. Most relationships aren’t—and frankly shouldn’t be—as intense as Mark and Jay’s, but their brand of trust, validation, and healthy disagreement has taken them far. Part coming-of-age memoir, part underdog story, and part insider account of succeeding in Hollywood on their own terms, Like Brothers is as openhearted and lovably offbeat as Mark and Jay themselves. “Wright. Ringling. Jonas. I’m sure you could name a bunch of famous brother teams. They’re all garbage compared to Mark and Jay. I can’t wait for you to read this book.”—from the foreword by Mindy Kaling |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: Robert Lowell, Setting the River on Fire Kay Redfield Jamison, 2018-02-06 PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • In this magisterial study of the relationship between illness and art, the best-selling author of An Unquiet Mind, Kay Redfield Jamison, brings an entirely fresh understanding to the work and life of Robert Lowell (1917-1977), whose intense, complex, and personal verse left a lasting mark on the English language and changed the public discourse about private matters. In his poetry, Lowell put his manic-depressive illness (now known as bipolar disorder) into the public domain, and in the process created a new and arresting language for madness. Here Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison brings her expertise in mood disorders to bear on Lowell’s story, illuminating not only the relationships between mania, depression, and creativity but also how Lowell’s illness and treatment influenced his work (and often became its subject). A bold, sympathetic account of a poet who was—both despite and because of mental illness—a passionate, original observer of the human condition. |

After reading Primetime Propaganda, you’ll never watch TV the same way again.” —Mark Levin Movie critic Michael Medved calls Ben Shapiro, “One of our most refreshing and insightful voices on the popular culture, as well as a conscience for his much-maligned generation.” With Primetime Propaganda, the syndicated columnist and bestselling author of Brainwashed, Porn Generation, and Project President tells the shocking true story of how the most powerful medium of mass communication in human history became a vehicle for spreading the radical agenda of the left side of the political spectrum. Similar to what Bernard Goldberg’s Bias and A Slobbering Love Affair did for the liberal news machine, Shapiro’s Primetime Propaganda is an essential exposé of corrupting media bias, pulling back the curtain on widespread and unrepentant abuses of the Hollywood entertainment industry. |

At a young age, Jessie Close struggled with symptoms that would transform into severe bipolar disorder in her early twenties, but she was not properly diagnosed until the age of fifty. Jessie and her three siblings, including actress Glenn Close, spent many years in the Moral Re-Armament cult. Jessie passed her childhood in New York, Switzerland, Connecticut, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), and finally Los Angeles, where her life quickly became unmanageable. She was just fifteen years old. Jessie's emerging mental illness led her into a life of addictions, five failed marriages, and to the brink of suicide. She fought to raise her children despite her ever worsening mental conditions and under the strain of damaged romantic relationships. Her sister Glenn and certain members of their family tried to be supportive throughout the ups and downs, and Glenn's vignettes in Resilience provide an alternate perspective on Jessie's life as it began to spiral out of control. Jessie was devastated to discover that mental illness was passed on to her son Calen, but getting him help at long last helped Jessie to heal as well. Eleven years later, Jessie is a productive member of society and a supportive daughter, mother, sister, and grandmother. In Resilience, Jessie dives into the dark and dangerous shadows of mental illness without shying away from its horror and turmoil. |

| ben shapiro zoey tur: 군중의 광기 더글러스 머리 (Douglas Murray), 2024-04-10 사회적 합의인가? 사회적 강요인가? 우리 사회가 젠더, 인종, 정체성을 받아들이는 방식에 대한 도발적 질문 영국의 저명한 저널리스트 더글러스 머리의 신작 『군중의 광기』가 출간되었다. 유럽의 이민자 정책을 신랄하게 비판한 전작 『유럽의 죽음』에 이어, 이번에는 대립이 첨예화되고 있는 젠더, 인종, 정체성 운동의 이면을 낱낱이 분석한다. 그는 가장 뜨거운 논쟁의 중심에 뛰어들어 날카로운 통찰을 보이고 거침없이 주장을 펼쳐 나간다. 머리는 사람들이 아직 답을 찾지 못한 질문들에 대해 너무 빨리 해법에 도달하고 있다고 지적한다. 더 신속하게 평등한 사회에 이르러야 한다는 압박 속에서 기이한 현상이 벌어지는 형국이라고 말이다. 우리는 어쩌면 격변하는 정세를 아랑곳하지 않은 채, 사회적 합의를 마치기도 전에 사회적 강요만이 난무하는 혼탁한 세상을 살아가고 있는 것은 아닐까? 이때 개선과 평등을 달성하려는 본래의 목적은 결국 잊히기 마련이다. 민감한 문제들을 분별력 있게 바라보려는 시도를 배척하고 무조건적인 수용을 강요하는 사회 속에서 군중은 결국 광기에 휩싸일 수밖에 없다. 이제는 지배적인 견해에 맞서 다양한 질문을 던지고 그것을 심층적으로 다루어야 한다. 이 책이 바로 그 출발점이 될 수 있다. |

| ben shapiro zoey tur: Writing My Wrongs Shaka Senghor, 2017-01-31 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An “extraordinary, unforgettable” (Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow) memoir of redemption and second chances amidst America’s mass incarceration epidemic, from a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 Shaka Senghor was raised in a middle-class neighborhood on Detroit’s east side during the height of the 1980s crack epidemic. An honor roll student and a natural leader, he dreamed of becoming a doctor—but at age eleven, his parents’ marriage began to unravel, and beatings from his mother worsened, which sent him on a downward spiral. He ran away from home, turned to drug dealing to survive, and ended up in prison for murder at the age of nineteen, full of anger and despair. Writing My Wrongs is the story of what came next. During his nineteen-year incarceration, seven of which were spent in solitary confinement, Senghor discovered literature, meditation, self-examination, and the kindness of others—tools he used to confront the demons of his past, forgive the people who hurt him, and begin atoning for the wrongs he had committed. Upon his release at age thirty-eight, Senghor became an activist and mentor to young men and women facing circumstances like his. His work in the community and the courage to share his story led him to fellowships at the MIT Media Lab and the Kellogg Foundation and invitations to speak at events like TED and the Aspen Ideas Festival. In equal turns, Writing My Wrongs is a page-turning portrait of life in the shadow of poverty, violence, and fear; an unforgettable story of redemption; and a compelling witness to our country’s need for rethinking its approach to crime, prison, and the men and women sent there. |

| ben shapiro zoey tur: 群眾瘋狂：性別、種族與身分，21世紀最歧異的議題 道格拉斯．莫瑞, 2021-12-24 現代世界的正字標記不在於其所抱持的懷疑態度， 而是在不自覺中展現出來的教條主義。 ──卻斯特頓（Gilbert Keith Chesterton），英國作家、文學評論家與神學家 英國《泰晤士報》年度選書 美國亞馬遜讀者5顆星推薦 《星期泰晤士報》 《泰晤士報》 《衛報》 《標準晚報》 《金融時報》 《每日電訊報》 《天主教前鋒報》 ──報導推薦 同性戀、跨性別、女性、種族 歧異的議題，犀利的論述 大膽挑戰既有的觀點 思考最爭議的問題並暢所欲言的談論，在今日變得風險極高，幾乎沒有人想要嘗試，因為稍有閃失就會被扣帽子，是偏執狂、恐同、性別歧視、厭女情結、種族歧視或跨性別恐懼。 作者道格拉斯．莫瑞（Douglas Murray）透過本書向讀者解析，21世紀讓我們充滿歧異的議題：性、性別、科技、種族，揭開了以社會正義、身分認同政治為標幟的縱橫交錯論述，此時正影響我們的家庭、校園與職場文化。 那些曾經主導眾人意識與規範的體系，在現今世界已面臨崩裂毀壞，代之而起的是一種決心，要替那些曾經被認為是政治不正確的人事主持公道正義，洗除冤屈恥辱，並以身分認同當成攻擊武器。莫瑞認為，正是因為這種思維行徑導致社會對立分化，尤其隨著新聞與社群媒體新型態科技的迅速傳播，這些意識形態對特定群體利益的關注，不但主導社會輿論，更使得衝突日趨惡化。 我們當然對社會有所期待，希望生活在當中的每一分子都能發揮所長，不會因為隨機賦予的一些個人特徵而損及其機會。如果有人有能力做某事，並且渴望一展長才，就不該因為其種族、性別或性取向因素而受到阻礙。但是，盡可能降低差異，與假裝這些差異不存在，是不一樣的；假設性別、性慾和膚色是代表什麼，並非荒唐可笑之事，但若認定它們代表一切，將會是毀滅性的災難。 莫瑞大無畏的論點，即使招徠爭議與批判，他的立場依然堅定，為世界各種複雜議題提供獨特見解，呼籲人們對普世價值與言論自由的重視，在社會陷入政治漩渦的狂躁年代，眾人更應保持警醒自覺。 |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: Here's the Deal Howie Mandel, Josh Young, 2010-09-28 NATIONAL BESTSELLER An engaging no-holds-barred memoir that reveals Howie Mandel’s ongoing struggle with OCD and ADHD—and how it has shaped his life Howie Mandel is one of the most recognizable names in entertainment. But there are aspects of his personal and professional life he’s never talked about publicly—until now. Twelve years ago, Mandel first told the world about his “germophobia.” He’s recently started discussing his adult ADHD as well. Now, for the first time, he reveals the details of his struggle with these challenging disorders. He speaks candidly about the ways his condition has affected his personal life—as a son, husband, and father of three. Along the way, the versatile performer reveals “the deal” behind his remarkable rise through the show-business ranks, sharing never-before-told anecdotes about his career. As heartfelt as it is hilarious, Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me is the story of one man’s effort to draw comic inspiration out of his darkest, most vulnerable places. |

| ben shapiro zoey tur: Plague City Genelle Chaconas, 2021-04-30 Fiction. LGBTQIA Studies. Winner of the 2019 Kenneth Patchen Award of the Innovative Novel. Innovative and engaging from the start PLAGUE CITY draws the reader in with forms and a genreless narrative presented via reader participation. The prose sometimes reads like a song, sometimes asks questions, and shows you how literature might (must!) move forward in a chaotic world. With space to breathe Genelle Chaconas weaves a collage-style work that asks the reader to return, reread, and reconsider fiction (and reality).--Jane L. Carman |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: Find a Way Diana Nyad, 2015-10-20 NOW THE NETFLIX FILM NYAD, STARRING ANNETTE BENING AND JODIE FOSTER Hillary Clinton said that Find a Way would stay with her through the general election: “When you’re facing big challenges in your life, you can think about Diana Nyad getting attacked by the lethal sting of box jellyfishes. And nearly anything else seems doable in comparison.” When Diana Nyad arrived on the shore of Key West after fifty-three hours of grueling swimming across an epic ocean, she not only set a world record—becoming the first person to swim the shark-infested waters between Cuba and Florida with no cage for protection—she also succeeded in fulfilling a dream she first chased at age twenty-eight and at long last achieved when she was sixty-four. Now, in a riveting memoir, Diana shares a spirited account of what it takes to face one’s fears, engage one’s passions, and never ever give up. For no matter what life may throw at you, or how many times you may have experienced defeat, it is always possible—as long as you commit to living life to the nth degree, no regrets—to “find a way. |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: Notes from the Field Anna Deavere Smith, 2019-05-21 Smith’s powerful style of living journalism uses the collective, cathartic nature of the theater to move us from despair toward hope.” —The Village Voice Anna Deavere Smith’s extraordinary form of documentary theater shines a light on injustices by portraying the real-life people who have experienced them. One of her most ambitious and powerful works on how matters of race continue to divide and enslave the nation” (Variety). Smith renders a host of figures who have lived and fought the system that pushes students of color out of the classroom and into prisons. (As Smith has put it: “Rich kids get mischief, poor kids get pathologized and incarcerated.”) Using people’s own words, culled from interviews and speeches, Smith depicts Rev. Jamal Harrison Bryant, who eulogized Freddie Gray; Niya Kenny, a high school student who confronted a violent police deputy; activist Bree Newsome, who took the Confederate flag down from the South Carolina State House grounds; and many others. Their voices bear powerful witness to a great iniquity of our time—and call us to action with their accounts of resistance and hope. |
| ben shapiro zoey tur: In the Darkroom Susan Faludi, 2016-06-14 A Pulitzer Prize winner’s memoir of her search for her enigmatic father is “an absolute stunner . . . probing, steel-nerved, moving in ways you’d never expect” (New York Times). “In the summer of 2004 I set out to investigate someone I scarcely knew, my father. The project began with a grievance, the grievance of a daughter whose parent had absconded from her life. I was in pursuit of a scofflaw, an artful dodger who had skipped out on so many things—obligation, affection, culpability, contrition. I was preparing an indictment, amassing discovery for a trial. But somewhere along the line, the prosecutor became a witness.” So begins Susan Faludi’s extraordinary inquiry. When the feminist writer learned that her 76-year-old father—long estranged and living in Hungary—had undergone sex reassignment surgery, her investigation turned personal and urgent. How was this new parent who identified as “a complete woman now” connected to the silent, explosive, and ultimately violent father she had known? Faludi chases that mystery into the recesses of her suburban childhood and her father’s many previous incarnations: American dad, Alpine mountaineer, swashbuckling adventurer in the Amazon outback, Jewish fugitive in Holocaust Budapest. Her struggle to come to grips with her father’s metamorphosis takes her across borders—historical, political, religious, sexual—to bring her face to face with the question of the age: Is identity something you “choose,” or is it the very thing you can’t escape? “Riveting . . . Ms. Faludi unfolds her father’s story like the plot of a detective novel.” —Wall Street Journal “Penetrating and lucid . . . rich [and] arresting.” —New York Times Book Review “A gripping exploration of sexual, national, and ethnic identity.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review |
