Inside The American Cultural-Identity Conundrum (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781087989877)

The American 'hot potato': It is an image that represents a most extraordinary nation. The sustaining reality that once was America's "exceptional" democracy is failing. It is an increasingly aberrant place; a place where polarizing controversies rage, relentlessly, and in full public view. And the public? Without the opportunity to speak-up and say "No", people everywhere are coerced into the stagnating chaos of arcane doctrine (see inside). Narrow ideologies have stoked extreme contentions around race, gender and sexuality. In recent years, these have been 'revitalized' (weaponized) to the advantage of the radical elite. It is a destructive and grim spectacle, especially for parents. There is an intentional design, devised to uproot the traditions of once stable communities, destroying co-present society and diminishing the identities of those who must live together. Very unfortunately, mean-spirited smears abound and sensible conversations are compromised by fear and anger. The issues facing working Americans are, perhaps, the most divisive, even deviant, ever witnessed in the history of humanity. In its effect, it is a deconstruction of human dignity. The clear intention is to bring about an entirely new way of "being". It is a serious deviation that requires a great deal more of the public's awareness. This new era is characterized as one of disruption, discouragement - and its hallmark - humiliation. These are manufactured states for public consumption by media, politicians and corporations. The inevitable outcome is that few reasonable people understand the times in which they live. In response, the author delivers the deepest dive yet into this immensely powerful country. This volume is organized into twelve deeply researched sections. Each section, and each chapter therein, carefully and comprehensively delineates the development of the American cultural-identity into the current day.
