The Canceling Of The American Mind Cancel Culture Undermines Trust And Threatens Us All - But There Is A Solution

Binding: Hardcover
Description: 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.
