Collected Critical Essays: Wading through the Nonsense (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781491264652)

In These five critical essays, Mark Ruhala gives us a look into a lens that magnifies the essential problems with aspects of our dysfunctioning society. He examines how children develop through schooling/education and how the performing arts make a huge difference in a child's life by living the experiences of an artist. He mockingly portrays the old kingdoms of yore against the same governing we use currently and the reflection of today's banker kings is obvious. The idea of self-control as a sign of maturity and of healthy raising of children, Mr. Ruhala shows that brain science backs this once common sense approach to working with children. In his exploration of how the arts are effected by the infusing of competitions so ubiquitous presently, Ruhala makes clear that we are moving away from the arts and creating a new hybrid that is subjective hierarchy covering the true and honest expression that only the arts can deliver to us. His final attack is on the health care idiocy and the phoney idea that reforming the current system will make any real changes in our health. True lifelong health must come from a different paradigm and Ruhala points the direction. These essays are meant to open the reader's mind to think in new ways and examine more closely the conditioned, accepted without reason ways we conduct our society today.
