| the elimination of harmful language initiative: The Republic David McKenna, 2024-12-17 THEY SAID IT COULD NEVER HAPPEN. NOT IN AMERICA. THEY WERE WRONG. When political parties view each other as evil, when compromise becomes impossible, the republic dies, and the Constitution dies with it. My father, my hero, was going to lead our nation with moral character and West Point inspired standards. When “inspired” became literal, and all opposition was destroyed, I had to chronicle what really happened or the world would never know the truth. My father’s entire life in the United States Army was predicated on one man giving an order and everyone else following it. He wasn’t a “threat to democracy”—he was an enigmatic fact. And he needed to be stopped. |
| the elimination of harmful language initiative: The Canceling of the American Mind Greg Lukianoff, Rikki Schlott, 2023-10-17 A “galvanizing” (The Wall Street Journal) deep dive into cancel culture and its dangers to all Americans from the team that brought you Coddling of the American Mind. Cancel culture is a new phenomenon, and The Canceling of the American Mind is the first book to codify it and survey its effects, including hard data and research on what cancel culture is and how it works, along with hundreds of new examples showing the left and right both working to silence their enemies. The Canceling of the American Mind changes how you view cancel culture. Rather than a moral panic, we should consider it a dysfunctional part of how Americans battle for power, status, and dominance. Cancel culture is just one symptom of a much larger problem: the use of cheap rhetorical tactics to “win” arguments without actually winning arguments. After all, why bother refuting your opponents when you can just take away their platform or career? The good news is that we can beat back this threat to democracy through better citizenship. The Canceling of the American Mind offers concrete steps toward reclaiming a free speech culture, with materials specifically tailored for parents, teachers, business leaders, and everyone who uses social media. We can all show intellectual humility and promote the essential American principles of individuality, resilience, and open-mindedness. |

| the elimination of harmful language initiative: DESIRE & FATE David Rieff, 2024-11-21 “Ours is an ill-mannered society that wears those bad manners as a badge not just of its moral rectitude but of its millenarian ethical ambitions. At the same time, in no society in recent memory have people been so easily affronted.” At a time when political writing and cultural criticism have come to be dominated by an insipid and unthinking moralism, David Rieff’s essays offer a bracing antidote. As well as being one of the English-speaking world’s most perceptive commentators on global politics, Rieff has in recent years been one of its most courageous and outspoken critics of the pathologies of identity politics—in particular, its grossly simplistic understanding of what it means to belong to a culture or a community, its fundamental failure to grasp the real value of the creative arts, and its increasing disregard for due process and freedom of expression. The essays that appear in Desire and Fate serve both as a crucial record of and a fierce protest against these developments. Covering topics as diverse as censorship in contemporary publishing, the cultural ubiquity of the notion of trauma, and the future of democracy on a global level, they are all characterised by an incisive intelligence and a refreshing lack of wishful thinking. Together they confirm Rieff’s status as an indispensable writer and thinker. |

| the elimination of harmful language initiative: Pillars for Freedom Richard B. Levine, 2024-01-10 America' s future will be unlimited if we return to wholesomeness, gratitude, and vision, for we must rise as one people or fall as many. Pillars for Freedom charts a brave path forward to imbue America with strength, economic security, and virtue. The American Experiment is unique in history in its conception of liberty, which is freedom from oppressive government and its yoke. We are a nation that rests on the rule of law and not the imperfections present in all humankind. Today, the bureaucratic state, which controls our government, relies on diversion, untrue narratives, and misdirection to cover incompetence and gross misdeeds. This cannot be our country' s standard. The maintenance of liberty rests upon our faith, our Founding, our families, and our commitments to uncorrupted education and science. Pillars for Freedom describes in consummate detail the powers that America must reconstitute and wield in order that we reclaim our destiny. Our Judeo-Christian heritage must form the center of America' s rebirth. Through marshalling our priceless heritage, we can rebuild our military, secure economic strength, and reassert energy dominance, as we rebuild our civil society. The actions of our government must, at all times, hold the needs of the American people as our North Star. An obligation of governance is to consider the world as it is and to weave together tools that reflect the entire extent of our nation' s power. America must convey resolve through precision in international affairs to meet our strategic objectives. We must renew the American dream. To do so, we must honor the past in order that our country may light the way for the entire world. This momentous book marks a turning point. It is a lantern that will lead us to the break of dawn for our nation. |

Freitas, 2024-01-29 Disrupting the Generational Cycle of Distrust in America's 600 Year Cultural War You are about to scan a high-resolution MRI of the psychological forces generating discord and disrupting the American democratic experiment. Absolute-mindedness is not a personality type, clinical disorder or social psychopathology, but an archaic trust adaptation giving rise to much of today's populist frustration and anger. When trust is disrupted early in life -- complexity, ambiguity, and disappointment fixate on a trust-mistrust duality -- good-bad, right-wrong, us versus them. Republicans and Democrats are undergoing cultural mitosis. An evolutionary social and political speciation driving us toward an autocratic America. Constitutional originalists were raised in parental originalism emphasizing principle and discipline over empathy and reasoning. Solo mass shootings are a predictable abandonment pattern over the course of America's history of gun rights and vigilante ethos. Conspiracy theories are repetitive information diffusion in dense social networks during times of social unrest, triggering individuals pre-wired for resignation, grievance, and revenge. The modern dictator: a dark triad of malignant narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. American Absolutism explores what happens when human adaptation loses viability as it comes face-to-face with an exponentially evolving complexity that is the modern human condition. |

| the elimination of harmful language initiative: The Cancel Culture Panic Adrian Daub, 2024-09-24 Fear of cancel culture has gripped the world, and it turns out to be an old fear in a new get-up. In this incisive new work, Adrian Daub analyzes the global spread of cancel culture discourse as a moral panic, showing that, though its object is fuzzy, talk of cancel culture in global media has become a preoccupation of an embattled liberalism. There are plenty of conservative voices who gin up worries about cancel culture to advance their agendas. But more remarkable perhaps is that it is centrist, even left-leaning, media that have taken up the rallying cry and really defined the outlines of what cancel culture is supposed to be. Media in Western Europe, South America, Russia, and Australia have devoted as much—in some cases more—attention to this supposedly American phenomenon than most US outlets. From French crusades against le wokisme via British fables of the loony left to a German obsession with campus anecdotes to a global revolt against gender studies: countries the world over have developed culture war narratives in conflict with the US, and, above all, its universities—narratives that they themselves borrowed from the US. Who exactly is afraid of cancel culture? To trace how various global publics have been so quickly convinced that cancel culture exists and that it poses an existential problem, Daub compares the cancel culture panic to moral panics past, investigating the powerful hold that the idea of being cancelled has on readers around the world. A book for anyone wondering how institutions of higher learning in the US have become objects of immense interest and political lightning rods; not just for audiences and voters in the US, but worldwide. |

| the elimination of harmful language initiative: The Age of Grievance Frank Bruni, 2024-04-30 An examination of the ways in which grievance has come to define our current culture and politics, on both the right and left. More and more Americans are convinced that they're losing because somebody else is winning. More and more tally their slights, measure their misfortune, and assign particular people responsibility for it. The blame game has become very popular. Grievance needn't be bad. But what happens when people take their grievances to lengths that they didn't before? A violent mob storms the US Capitol, rejecting the results of a presidential election. Conspiracy theories flourish. Fox News knowingly peddles lies in the service of profit. College students chase away speakers, and college administrators dismiss instructors for dissenting from progressive orthodoxy. Benign words are branded hurtful; benign gestures are deemed hostile. And there's a potentially devastating erosion of the civility, common ground, and compromise necessary for our democracy to survive. How did we get here? What does it say about us, and where does it leave us? The Age of Grievance examines these critical questions and charts a path forward-- |

Hutchins, 2023-05-30 The eye of an intelligence analyst is focused on the enemy of the church, to expose his attacks in the realm of modern gender theory. Horrible discoveries have been made. Shared here is the awful truth of where we’re at now and how we got here—both spiritually and naturally. In Gender Confusion, the reader will understand the enemy of our souls, so they can defeat him on this battlefield. They’ll learn what is true for both nation states and fallen angels: a known enemy is a defeated enemy. The church must defend itself and, more importantly, it must go on offense. This book gives us gender ideology’s origin story, its genealogy, and the only strategy that can possibly defeat it. |
| the elimination of harmful language initiative: The Administration of Joe Biden - Obama and Democrat Policies Implemented Gayle Strickland, 2024-03-10 This book is about what really happened during the Biden Administration. Joe Biden implemented progressive policies at home that resulted in high inflation, open borders and historic numbers of illegal immigrants, a weak economy and a dramatic expansion of government. Abroad, Biden’s policies of appeasement and weakness resulted in war in Ukraine and the Middle East, an upsurge in terrorism, and increased aggression from Iran, Russia and China. This book shows the extent to which President Biden mimicked and adopted the policies of former President Barack Obama. It was no surprise that the Biden administration resembled the Obama administration as Biden brought in a number of people who played key roles in the Obama administration. Biden got similar but more destructive results as progressives held Biden hostage to their ideals and policies. As Biden ran for a second term, Biden’s fitness for office as well as the results of his policies at home and abroad were critical to the decisions to be made by the American public in the 2024 Presidential election. This book gives the information required to make that choice. |
| the elimination of harmful language initiative: De identiteitsval Yascha Mounk, 2023-11-16 Hoe de woke-beweging extreemrechts onbedoeld in de hand werkt Gedurende een groot deel van de geschiedenis zijn etnische, religieuze en seksuele minderheden al dan niet met geweld onderdrukt. Het is dan ook niet vreemd dat mensen die in sociale rechtvaardigheid geloven vinden dat deze minderheden hun identiteit op de voorgrond moeten plaatsen om gelijkwaardigheid te bereiken. De afgelopen decennia is deze overtuiging snel invloedrijk geworden, wat volgens Yascha Mounk heeft geleid tot een obsessie met groepsidentiteit. Maar de ideologie die aan deze groepsidentiteit verbonden is – ook wel bekend als wokeness – werkt extreemrechtse bewegingen onbedoeld in de hand. Ze verstikt het discours, belemmert wederzijdse culturele beïnvloeding en ontkent dat leden van verschillende groepen elkaar echt kunnen begrijpen. In De identiteitsval gaat Mounk dieper in op de oorsprong van deze ideeën en legt hij uit waarom er met de woke-ideologie aan goedbedoelde intenties voorbij wordt gegaan. Het resulteert in een hartstochtelijk pleidooi voor de manieren waarop we échte gelijkheid kunnen bereiken. Yascha Mounk is auteur en hoogleraar Internationale betrekkingen aan Johns Hopkins University. Hij is gespecialiseerd in de opkomst van het populisme en de liberaal-democratische crisis. Eerder verschenen van zijn hand de veelgeprezen boeken The People vs. Democracy en Het grote experiment. Over The People vs. Democracy: ‘Boeken over de ondergang van de liberale democratie hebben de neiging te eindigen in mineur, maar de optimistische Mounk komt zowaar met oplossingen.’ ●●●● NRC ‘In The People vs. Democracy demonstreert Yascha Mounk op briljante wijze de zwakke plekken van de liberale democratie.’ de Volkskrant Over Het grote experiment: ‘Een overtuigend en hoopvol boek over het heden en de toekomst, door een van de meest vooraanstaande democratische denkers.’ George Packer, auteur van De laatste redding |

Judis, 2023-11-07 A Wall Street Journal Best Political Book of 2023 A much-needed wake-up call for the Democrats, which reveals how the party has lost sight of its core principles and endangered its political future—from the authors of “one of the most influential political books of the 21st century” (The New York Times) For decades, American politics has been plagued by a breakdown between the Democratic and Republican parties, in which victory has inevitably led to defeat and vice versa. Both parties have lost sight of the people at the center of the American electorate, leading to polarization and paralysis. In Where Have All the Democrats Gone?, John B. Judis and Ruy Teixeira reveal the tectonic changes shaping the country’s current political landscape that both pundits and political scientists have missed. The Democratic Party, once the preserve of small towns as well as big cities and of the industrial working class and the newly immigrated, has abandoned and even actively alienated many of these voters. In this clarion call and essential argument for common sense and common ground, Judis and Teixeira reveal the transformation of American politics and provide a razor-sharp critique of where the Democrats have gone awry and how they can avoid political disaster in the days ahead. |
| the elimination of harmful language initiative: When Comedy Goes Wrong Christopher J. Gilbert, 2025-04-01 While conventional wisdom has it that humor embodies a spirit of renewal and humility, a dispirited form of comedy thrives in a media-saturated and politically charged environment. When Comedy Goes Wrong examines how, beginning in the late-twentieth and carrying into the early twenty-first century, a certain comic dispirit found various platforms for disheartening cultural politics. From the calculated follies on talk radio programs like the Rush Limbaugh Show through the charades of cancel culture and ultimately to so-called Alt-Right comedy, the transgressions, improprieties, and ego trips endemic to a newfangled comic freedom produced entirely unfunny ways of being. To understand these unfunny ways, Christopher J. Gilbert challenges the prevailing belief in humor's goodness, analyzing radio personalities, meme culture, films, civil unrest, and even the language of ordinary individuals and everyday speech, all to demonstrate what happens when humor becomes humorless. As such, Gilbert imagines a nuanced sense of humor for a tumultuous world. Ultimately, When Comedy Goes Wrong transcends partisanship to explore the uglier parts of American culture, imagining the stakes of doing comedy—and being comical—as a means of survival. |

Valazzi apre un elitario bordello con bambole che sembrano di gomma; Lucy torna (da dove?) per far visita ai suoi amanti e ai loro incubi e tutti i morti rincasano dal cimitero; un gruppo di Krampus partecipa al singolare talent show Wildest Man e Veronica e i suoi due papà scoprono che la Strega Cattiva, il Clown Assassino e l’Uomo Nero abitano tutti insieme nella casa all’angolo. Eccola l’adunata dei mostri di Andrea Bellavita e su tutti troneggia il monstrum per eccellenza, il prodigio, il marchio, l’icona: il culo di Beyoncé, che un po’ affascina e seduce, un po’ spaventa e annichilisce. Per quel culo, per potergli dedicare anche un solo, piccolo post, si sarebbe disposti a fare qualsiasi cosa, anche a morire. Una penna raffinata e iperbolica che costruisce spazi oscuri, disorienta con irruzioni perturbanti, incanta con peripezie inattese, tiranneggia coscienze insonnolite e ribalta le prospettive più rassicuranti. E genera mostri che sono, solitamente, molto più intelligenti di noi, noi convinti di averli creati per esorcizzare le nostre paure, di poterli addomesticare e controllare con l’illusione del prodigio. Ma la bestia è sempre lì e ci aspetta, perché niente è come sembra, o forse sì. E tutto è giusto ma niente è corretto. |

| the elimination of harmful language initiative: Communities in Action National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Health and Medicine Division, Board on Population Health and Public Health Practice, Committee on Community-Based Solutions to Promote Health Equity in the United States, 2017-03-27 In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome. |
| the elimination of harmful language initiative: Language Policy in the People’s Republic of China Minglang Zhou, Hongkai Sun, 2004-08-27 Language matters in China. It is about power, identity, opportunities, and, above all, passion and nationalism. During the past five decades China’s language engineering projects transformed its linguistic landscape, affecting over one billion people’s lives, including both the majority and minority populations. The Han majority have been juggling between their home vernaculars and the official speech, Putonghua – a speech of no native speakers – and reading their way through a labyrinth of the traditional, simplified, and Pinyin (Roman) scripts. Moreover, the various minority groups have been struggling between their native languages and Chinese, maintaining the former for their heritages and identities and learning the latter for quality education and socioeconomic advancement. The contributors of this volume provide the first comprehensive scrutiny of this sweeping linguistic revolution from three unique perspectives. First, outside scholars critically question the parities between constitutional rights and actual practices and between policies and outcomes. Second, inside policy practitioners review their own project involvements and inside politics, pondering over missteps, undergoing soul-searching, and theorizing their personal experiences. Third, scholars of minority origin give inside views of policy implementations and challenges in their home communities. The volume sheds light on the complexity of language policy making and implementing as well as on the politics and ideology of language in contemporary China. |

| the elimination of harmful language initiative: Pragmatic Imagination and the New Museum Anthropology Christina J. Hodge, Christina Kreps, 2024-03-14 Pragmatic Imagination and the New Museum Anthropology shifts museum anthropology’s relationship to the broader field from marginal to central by revealing the sophisticated transdisciplinary praxis (theory + practice) at the heart of current museum anthropologies. The book features international case studies that operate at the interfaces of critical museology, anthropology, material culture studies, art practice, and more. The theory of pragmatics proposes that meaning-making is collaborative and best evaluated through its impact in the world. Collectively the chapters in this volume evidence a ‘pragmatic imagination’ at work as museum anthropology practitioners ingeniously combine inventiveness (the possible) and practicality (the actual) in ways that drive the field forward. Defining museum anthropology as a pragmatic practice explicitly theorizes this work in order to mark its significance; demystify its processes of knowledge production; connect it more readily to debates within and beyond anthropology; and facilitate critique. |

These disorders are among the most highly stigmatized health conditions in the United States, and they remain barriers to full participation in society in areas as basic as education, housing, and employment. Improving the lives of people with mental health and substance abuse disorders has been a priority in the United States for more than 50 years. The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 is considered a major turning point in America's efforts to improve behavioral healthcare. It ushered in an era of optimism and hope and laid the groundwork for the consumer movement and new models of recovery. The consumer movement gave voice to people with mental and substance use disorders and brought their perspectives and experience into national discussions about mental health. However over the same 50-year period, positive change in American public attitudes and beliefs about mental and substance use disorders has lagged behind these advances. Stigma is a complex social phenomenon based on a relationship between an attribute and a stereotype that assigns undesirable labels, qualities, and behaviors to a person with that attribute. Labeled individuals are then socially devalued, which leads to inequality and discrimination. This report contributes to national efforts to understand and change attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that can lead to stigma and discrimination. Changing stigma in a lasting way will require coordinated efforts, which are based on the best possible evidence, supported at the national level with multiyear funding, and planned and implemented by an effective coalition of representative stakeholders. Ending Discrimination Against People with Mental and Substance Use Disorders: The Evidence for Stigma Change explores stigma and discrimination faced by individuals with mental or substance use disorders and recommends effective strategies for reducing stigma and encouraging people to seek treatment and other supportive services. It offers a set of conclusions and recommendations about successful stigma change strategies and the research needed to inform and evaluate these efforts in the United States. |

While not forgetting this, we can nevertheless still address some of the problems that arise. Hate speech online is one such problem. But what exactly is hate speech online, and how can we deal with it effectively? As with freedom of expression, on- or offline, UNESCO defends the position that the free flow of information should always be the norm. Counter-speech is generally preferable to suppression of speech. And any response that limits speech needs to be very carefully weighed to ensure that this remains wholly exceptional, and that legitimate robust debate is not curtailed. |

Craig, 2007 This book argues that traditional complaint-based antidiscrimination laws are inherently inadequate to respond to systemic discrimination in employment. It examines the mechanisms and characteristics of systemic discrimination and the shortcomings of complaint-based laws. Yet these characteristics can also inform employers and government authorities of the kinds of preventive action that help alleviate systemic discrimination at the workplace. In its search for a rational government policy response to systemic discrimination, the book evaluates selected legal regimes which impose proactive obligations on employers to promote equality at the workplace. Proactive regimes are regulatory in nature, rather than adjudicatory. They induce employer compliance through technical assistance, dialogue and regulatory pressure, rather than court orders. By examining the key elements of these regimes the author explains why some proactive regimes function better than others, and why proactive regimes function better than complaint-based laws in addressing systemic discrimination. |

Specifically, it proposes to test whether a training intervention designed to strengthen women's sense of collective efficacy and leadership skills will improve their voice and agency in local political engagement. One of these countries is Nigeria, where the following women's training curriculum will be implemented in 3 southwestern states (Ogun, Osun, and Oyo}. ActionAid Nigeria (AAN} is partnering with Researchers from the International Food Policy Research Institute, UC Berkeley, and UC San Diego to develop and test a women's training curriculum that will help women to overcome some of the barriers to increasing their participation. Specifically, this women's training curriculum will focus on at least five different skills areas that include: (1} Civic education; (2) Making common grievances over gender inequality salient; (3) Increasing a sense of women1 s group identity; (4) Understanding how men can support women; and (5) Increasing perceived efficacy. For some women, their training will be complemented by their partners receiving a men's training curriculum. The durations of all of these program elements are listed below. In all cases, the listed duration of the training session is time spent in actual activities, and is exclusive of time required to gather all participants, welcome them, provide breaks, and distribute sign-in sheets, etc. One hour will be allocated in all sessions for such administrative matters. The men's training curriculum, like the women's curriculum, is focused on key pertinent skills areas that include: How the world is changing and how women's empowerment is beneficial; different domains of women's empowerment-from the home to the community, to the political system; the importance and benefits of women's voice and agency in public spaces; how men and boys can support women's voice and agency in public spaces; and the value of male champions/allies. |

| the elimination of harmful language initiative: Latinization of U.S. Schools Jason Irizarry, 2015-12-03 Fueled largely by significant increases in the Latino population, the racial, ethnic, and linguistic texture of the United States is changing rapidly. Nowhere is this 'Latinisation' of America more evident than in schools. The dramatic population growth among Latinos in the United States has not been accompanied by gains in academic achievement. Estimates suggest that approximately half of Latino students fail to complete high school, and few enroll in and complete college. The Latinization of U.S. Schools centres on the voices of Latino youth. It examines how the students themselves make meaning of the policies and practices within schools. The student voices expose an inequitable opportunity structure that results in depressed academic performance for many Latino youth.
