Sinopse

Slippery Words explores how language subtly shapes societal decline by influencing our actions and perspectives. It examines how seemingly small changes in terminology can create "slippery slopes," leading to negative outcomes in areas from public policy to individual ethics. The book argues that recognizing the potential for linguistic manipulation is key to reversing these trends.

 
The book delves into three core areas: the manipulation of language in political discourse, the erosion of ethical standards, and the unintended consequences of well-intentioned interventions. For example, the strategic framing of issues by political actors can significantly sway public opinion. Using case studies and historical examples, Slippery Words offers critical analysis of how rhetoric and propaganda impact our world.

 
The book progresses systematically, first introducing the concept of slippery slope arguments, then dedicating sections to each of the core topics. By the conclusion, readers are equipped with strategies for identifying and mitigating the effects of manipulative language in their own lives and communities. This approach blends rhetorical analysis, social scientific research, and historical context to empower readers to think critically and make responsible decisions.

    Claremont Institute scholar Edward J. Erler argues that, to preserve our dwindling individual freedoms, Americans must mount a defense of the nation state against the encroaching progressive forces of global governance. 
    The United States in Crisis: Citizenship, Immigration, and the Nation State argues that to preserve our freedom Americans must mount a defense of the nation state against the progressive forces who advocate for global government. The Founders of America were convinced that freedom would flourish only in a nation state. A nation state is a collection of citizens who share a commitment to the same principles. Today, the nation state is under attack by the progressive Left, who allege that it is the source of almost every evil in the world.

    'I've never met Danny Finkelstein but I think I'm in love with him. His book is such good company – sane, intelligent and witty. He deals with serious subjects in an immensely readable way … If I'm asked to nominate my book of the year, this will be it' WENDY COPE 
    Writing on everything from a defence of suburban life and moderate politics to big ideas and pop culture, Daniel Finkelstein is one of the UK’s most entertaining and widely read columnists. 
    This collection brings together Finkelstein’s greatest writings from The Times, ranging from the personal – with his articles on growing up Jewish in Hendon Central and on the deaths of both of his parents – to the political, with columns on how to predict elections, the way political science showed us Ed Miliband was on his way to defeat, and why the base rate of coups meant Jeremy Corbyn wouldn’t be ousted before an election. 
    Wry, informed and often brilliantly funny, these pieces zip between Walt Disney, Hilary Clinton, David Bowie, Margaret Thatcher, Clement Attlee and Muhammed Ali. They make arguments about football, assisted dying, the art of becoming Prime Minister and the musical Hamilton. Cutting through the chatter to get to the centre of politics and culture, this varied and stimulating book gives an eclectic insight into the biggest conversations of the modern day. Everything is here. In moderation of course. 
    As a Sunday Times bestselling author, Finkelstein's collection of writings is a testament to his literary prowess and popularity. His autobiography-like pieces, filled with personal anecdotes and social commentary, are a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of politics and culture. 
    For fans of Ariana Neumann (When Time Stopped), Jack Fairweather (The Prosecutor), Robert M. Edsel (Remember Us), Martin Amis (The War Against Cliche), and Tony Blair (A Journey).

    It's difficult for most of us to envision somebody injuring a child. Child abuse and neglect are absolutely real, as unpleasant as they can be. In the United States, more than 600,000 children are abused or neglected each year. Physical and psychological integrity and protection from all types of violence are guaranteed to all persons under 18. Nonetheless, we know that children and adolescents are subjected to violence in the home, at school, in legal and child protection systems, at work, and in the community for various social and cultural reasons.As a result, children and adolescents are harmed in areas and locations that are supposed to provide them with safety, affection, developmental stimulation, refuge, and advocacy for their rights. One of the factors that makes them particularly vulnerable is their lack of autonomy as a result of their young age, as well as the high levels of emotional, economic, and social dependency they have on adults or institutions, making it difficult for them to stop the abuse, seek help, or report the situation.We pay for children's exposure to violence in various ways, including physical and mental health care, child welfare, special education, juvenile and criminal justice, and productivity losses throughout their lives.
