  "Where did all the decent men go?" is a question you hear everywhere. But it’s the wrong question to ask. The better question is, “Why did all the decent men go on strike?" In Men on Strike (2013), Helen Smith offers an answer. 
  Smith asserts that there is a real war on men in modern culture. The majority of men might not discuss it or even believe that a "democratic" country would judge them without due process or accountability. Yet, in today's anti-male society, this is happening to most males. As a result, men have opted out, going on strike rather than having to face a ruthless attack on their gender. Smith details the legal, educational, and cultural war on men and suggests how society can remedy it, warning that if we don't, our culture will be forever changed.

  In the following keynote address given at Baylor University, author Paul Levinson discusses Canadian philosopher and academic Marshall McLuhan's seminal book, "Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man," which proposed that the media--not the content that they carry-- affects the society in which it plays a role and, thus, should be the focus of study. Levinson, a colleague of McLuhan’s, lays out, how in the decades since its 1964 publication, McLuhan’s study of media theory and the concept that "the medium is the message," still holds true.

  Equality or Equity - Toward a...

  A leading scholar-practitioner and ardent proponent of culturally responsive forms of education, Jeffrey M. R. Duncan-Andrade aims to settle the debates over whether we should work toward a public education system built on the goal of equality, in which identical resources are provided for all students, or equity, in which different resources are offered in response to differences in student interests and needs. Duncan-Andrade centers his argument on the importance of creating meaningful education experiences for all students, particularly for low-income students of color and immigrant students, who have gained relatively fewer benefits from decades of equality-focused education reform. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on research from across a range of disciplines, including neuroscience, social epidemiology, public health, and social work, Duncan-Andrade introduces three essential domains of a pedagogy that are both culturally and community responsive: relationships, relevance, and responsibility. He enlists the voices of practitioners to provide grounded examples of what community-responsive pedagogy looks like in each of these domains. These examples demonstrate how equitable classroom practices can enrich student engagement, enhance trauma responsiveness, and improve educational outcomes.

  Himalayan Doomsday Device - The...

  In the vast expanse of the Himalayas, hidden beneath centuries of snow and ice, lay a secret that had been buried for generations. The towering peaks, once home to monks and ancient civilizations, now shielded a dark legacy that time itself had forgotten. The truth about this forgotten legacy, however, was about to resurface, altering the course of history and threatening the very future of a nation. 
  The story began long before the world had even begun to recognize the geopolitical importance of this remote region. Ancient texts, passed down through generations of sages, spoke of a powerful device buried in the heart of the mountains. These writings, written in a language long extinct, described an artifact of unimaginable power—an object designed to protect a kingdom, but one that, if misused, could bring about devastation on an unimaginable scale. 
  Over time, the knowledge of this device faded into obscurity. Wars, invasions, and the relentless march of history erased most traces of the past. Yet, the stories never fully disappeared. They were whispered by the elders, passed along in cryptic folklore, and tucked away in the corners of forgotten libraries. But for centuries, no one believed the legends were more than myths, the wild imaginings of storytellers and mystics.
