Sinopse

Propaganda And Bias explores the crucial interplay between propaganda and our inherent cognitive biases, revealing how these biases make us susceptible to manipulation in today's complex information landscape. Drawing from social psychology, the book unveils how propagandists exploit predictable flaws in human judgment, such as confirmation bias, where we favor information confirming existing beliefs, and the availability heuristic, where easily recalled information is overweighted. Understanding these mechanisms is key to informed decision-making and resisting manipulative messaging.

 
The book examines specific propaganda techniques, like name-calling and glittering generalities, illustrating how each exploits particular cognitive biases. It progresses from introducing core concepts to analyzing propaganda's use in political discourse, advertising, and social movements.

 
Ultimately, it provides practical strategies for mitigating propaganda's effects and fostering rational decision-making. Its unique value lies in shifting the focus from identifying propaganda to understanding the psychological vulnerabilities that make us susceptible to it.

    “[A] fascinating, informative, and highly entertaining primer on the various ways the uninitiated may find themselves ripped off by a con artist.” —Publishers Weekly   No one thinks it can happen to them, but Americans are forty times more likely to be defrauded than to have their cars stolen or their homes burgled. Con artists ruin people financially and emotionally, leaving in their wake a trail of destruction, broken hearts, and deflated dreams.    The first step to combating fraud is to understand it. What do scams look like? Why are they effective? The next step is to take action. How can we protect ourselves and our families? The Con: How Scams Work, Why You’re Vulnerable, and How to Protect Yourself informs and engages with accessible stories of ordinary people from all walks of life thrown into unexpected and disorienting circumstances. The book goes behind the scenes of real-world cons to examine the logistics and psychology that enable scams to succeed. The goal is to help people understand and recognize deception, and in the same way that they avoid other potentially dangerous situations, take a detour. Once readers have gained a clear idea of what scams look and sound like and learned simple strategies to reduce personal risk, protecting themselves will be just as instinctive as putting on a seat belt.  “This compelling work goes a long way toward putting distance between scammers and their prey.” —Foreword Reviews  “Completely fascinating and insightful.” —Booklist

    Before the arrival of Europeans, New Zealand, or Aotearoa, was inhabited solely by the Māori people, who had arrived from Polynesia over a thousand years earlier. Their ancestors navigated vast distances across the Pacific Ocean, using their advanced knowledge of stars, winds, and ocean currents. They eventually settled in Aotearoa, forming distinct tribal communities known as iwi, each with its own territory, social structures, and traditions. 
    The Māori society was organized around iwi (tribes), hapū (sub-tribes), and whānau (families). Each iwi had a paramount chief, or rangatira, who was responsible for making decisions that affected the entire tribe. The rangatira was supported by a council of elders, or kaumatua, who provided guidance based on wisdom and experience. The hapū, made up of extended families, was the primary unit of Māori society, with a strong emphasis on kinship and collective responsibility. 
    Māori were deeply connected to the land, or whenua, and believed that their ancestors, the atua, or gods, imbued the earth, sea, and sky with sacred energy. This connection formed the foundation of Māori spiritual beliefs, which revolved around whakapapa (genealogy), mana (spiritual power or authority), and tapu (sacredness). Their spiritual worldview tied their identity to the land and natural resources, and they saw themselves as stewards, responsible for the care and preservation of the environment.
