New York, NY, USA
Categories:The greatest social revolution in the last 50 years has been the changing status of women, in America and around the world. They now make up more than half of our work force, and dominate medical, law and journalism schools. So why has it been so hard for so many to find a balance between old roles and new ones? A call for a new paradigm–and for a men’s revolution in gender roles as well.
After a year of nonstop drama and unpredictable turns, from the Presidential Election to Russian influence and voter tampering, social media as news outlet has made it difficult to separate the real news from the fake.
With so much coverage of current events on blogs, Twitter, and Facebook, many people have forgotten that the stories they care about most are still produced by more conventional sources. It is reporters and editors who reveal the concrete facts, who do the hard digging to bring us the truth. But without them, a Democracy can’t survive.
Americans have focused on how to survive this downturn. But what about how to thrive because of it? Some are reappraising the recent past and concluding that many of us consumed instead of living. Is this an opportunity to reassess our priorities, as a nation and as individuals? And will a less affluent America be a happier one?
It’s no accident that Hitler ordered book burnings. Reading and writing break down the walls between people, and bring down the big lies of demagoguery. That’s why a literate United States is a more tolerant and more democratic United States, and why a thirst for words may be the greatest legacy we hand down to our kids.
