Publisher: University Press of America

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
The future of the sociologist's profession is jeopardized by an ongoing trend toward the politicization of sociology and the radicalization of social problems. This book calls for the rethinking of the culture of social, political, and economic liberty to create a resurgence of a sociological agenda. Social Problems in a Free Society offers an original perspective on social problems such as violations of the principles of individual rights and the free market. This book is a vision for reinvigorating the discipline in a fashion undreamt of within the wearisome strains of today's radical social problems theory.

Nanny State
Author: David Harsanyi
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0767928458
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
When did we lose our right to be lazy, unhealthy, and politically incorrect? Move over Big Brother! An insidious new group has inserted itself into American politics. They are the nannies—not the stroller-pushing set but an invasive band of do-gooders who are subtly and steadily stripping us of our liberties, robbing us of the inalienable right to make our own decisions, and turning America into a nation of children. As you read this, countless busybodies across the nation are rolling up their sleeves to do the work of straightening out your life. Certain Massachusetts towns have banned school-yard tag. San Francisco has passed laws regulating the amount of water you should use in dog bowls. The mayor of New York City has french fries and doughnuts in his sights. In some parts of California, smoking is prohibited . . . outside. The government, under pressure from the nanny minority, is twisting the public’s arm into obedience. Playground police, food fascists, anti-porn crusaders —whether they're legislating morality or wellbeing—nannies are popping up all over America. In the name of health, safety, decency, and—shudder—good intentions, these ever-vigilant politicians and social activists are dictating what we eat, where we smoke, what we watch and read, and whom we marry. Why do bureaucrats think they know what's better for us than we do? And are they selectively legislating in the name of political expediency? For instance, why do we ban mini-motorbikes, responsible for five deaths each year, and not skiing, which accounts for fifty deaths each year? Why is medical marijuana, a substance yet to claim a single life, banned and not aspirin, which accounts for about 7,600 deaths? Exhaustively researched, sharply observed, and refreshingly lucid, Nanny Sate looks at the myriad ways we are turning the United States into a soulless and staid nation—eroding not only our personal freedoms but our national character.

Clinton's Partial Legacy - Wars of Interdependence
Author: Robert R. Morman
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595126758
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
This book describes arrogant, legacy-bound, dictatorial Clinton's role in "Wars of Interdependence" that ceded U.S. sovereignty to non-elected United Nations' bureaucrats an its "hired mechanic," NATO. Clinton's Executive Order, PDD 13, served as the "defining or 'divine' authority." Clinton was instrumental in deployment of U.S. armed might in Somalia, Haiti, Iraq, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Sudan, Kosovo, East Timor and elsewhere. His modus operandi is to instill "peace by force," everywhere if possible, and then seek "congressional approval and support-after the fact." Clinton is an unabashed, dedicated globalist who favors borderless nations, multiculturalism, diversity and a non-elected one world government at the "expense and denial" of individualism, 'relatively pure cultures,' unifying national languages, patriotic nationalism and sovereignty. The U. S. suffered through the Revolutionary War against the British and our tragic Civil War only to have its hard won heritage scuttled unceremoniously by scurrilous Clinton! Signs of displeasure with "political-economic interdependence and subjugation to international bodies" are occurring in European countries like Austria, Belgium, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Congo, Turkey, and Russia among others with resurgent signs of fervent "nationalism".
