Citizen and Resistance - A Contemporary Perspective

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In an era of rapid societal and technological change, the concepts of citizenship and resistance have taken on new dimensions. This book delves into these fundamental aspects of human existence, exploring their evolving meanings and significance in the 21st century.

Citizenship is not merely a legal status but a dynamic relationship between individuals and the communities they belong to. It encompasses a multitude of rights, responsibilities, and expectations that shape our identities and interactions. From ancient civilizations to today's globalized societies, the concept of citizenship has undergone profound transformations. This book examines these historical shifts, analyzing how citizenship has been defined, contested, and redefined over time.

Resistance, on the other hand, is an inherent human response to oppression, injustice, and the limitations imposed by societal norms. It can manifest in various forms, from peaceful protests to acts of civil disobedience. Throughout history, resistance movements have played a pivotal role in shaping societies, challenging unjust laws, and bringing about positive change. This book explores the nature of resistance, its moral and ethical dimensions, and the strategies and tactics employed by those who dare to resist.

The relationship between citizenship and resistance is complex and multifaceted. Citizens have a responsibility to engage with their communities, hold their governments accountable, and work towards creating a just and equitable society. Resistance, when exercised responsibly and ethically, can be a powerful tool for citizens to assert their rights, demand change, and protect their communities.

This book explores the interplay between citizenship and resistance, highlighting their historical significance and contemporary relevance. Through a series of thought-provoking essays, we examine the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead as we strive to build inclusive and just societies. From the digital age of citizenship to the global refugee crisis, we delve into the pressing issues that demand our attention and action.

With its interdisciplinary approach and engaging writing style, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in politics, sociology, history, or the human condition. It is a call to action, a reminder that we all have a stake in the future of our communities and a responsibility to shape it for the better.

Why Privacy Matters

Neil Richards

Everywhere we look, companies and governments are spying on us—seeking information about us and everyone we know. Ad networks monitor our web—surfing to send us "more relevant" ads. Databases of human information are assembled for purposes of "training" artificial intelligence programs designed to predict everything from traffic patterns to the location of undocumented migrants. We're even tracking ourselves, using personal electronics like Apple watches, Fitbits, and other gadgets. As Mark Zuckerberg once put it, "the Age of Privacy is over." But Zuckerberg and others who say "privacy is dead" are wrong. In Why Privacy Matters, Neil Richards explains that privacy isn't dead, but rather up for grabs. 
 
 
 
Richards shows how the fight for privacy is a fight for power that will determine what our future will look like, and whether it will remain fair and free. Privacy matters because good privacy rules can promote the essential human values of identity, power, freedom, and trust. If we want to preserve our commitments to these precious yet fragile values, we will need privacy rules. Richards explains why privacy remains so important and offers strategies that can help us protect it from the forces that are working to undermine it. Pithy and forceful, this is a must-listen for anyone interested in a topic that sits at the center of so many current problems.

How America Worksand Why It...

William Cooper

Twenty-first-century America isn’t working the way it’s supposed to.
This book explains why.
Americans in the twenty-first century are becoming increasingly untethered from both reality and the essential principles and traditions that have shaped the nation’s historic success. A big part of why America isn’t working is because far too many Americans neither know nor care how it’s supposed to work.
“William Cooper presents an insightful, sensitive, and accessible account of the trials that face American democracy in the twenty-first century. This fair- and broad-minded volume makes compelling reading for those who are looking to build a better democracy.” Alexander Yen, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford
“Partisanship fuels personal convictions more than ever in our society, and convictions fuel mysided thinking and other cognitive biases. At no time have we needed this discussion of bias and partisan thinking more than now.” Keith E. Stanovich, author of The Bias That Divides Us
“William Cooper logically and authoritatively takes you step by step through all the reasons a President Trump couldn’t imprison his enemies, pardon his friends, overrule judges, weaponize the Department of Justice, prosecute Joe Biden, or order the military to enforce his unconstitutional actions” Cleveland Plain Dealer
“William Cooper is an insightful and thought-provoking writer about US politics. He deserves to be widely read.” Thomas Plate, former Editorial Page Editor, Los Angeles Times
"In How America Works . . . and Why It Doesn’t, William Cooper gives a thoughtful, readable guide to what ails American democracy. Required reading for any student of political science.” Uri Kaufman, author of Eighteen Days in October
"A must-read. His well-written and brief book covers a lot of important ground in a learned but accessible manner. Probably most noteworthy, though, is his astute and fair judgment―the book is not a polemic for the left or the right, but rather a fair appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of both. I highly recommend reading it―it is an enjoyable tour of key aspects of history (as well as current events), ethics, political philosophy, constitutional law, environmental science, and cognitive psychology―all told in a lucid, efficient way." William O'Donohue, PhD, Professor, University of Nevada, Reno

The Well-Connected Animal -...

Lee Alan Dugatkin

An engaging exploration of the wondrous social webs that permeate life in animal societies around the world. 
 
 
 
It's all about who you know. Whether vampire bats sharing blood meals for survival, field crickets remembering champion fighters, macaque monkeys forming grooming pacts after a deadly hurricane, or great tit birds learning the best way to steal milk—it pays to be well connected. 
 
 
 
In this tour of the animal kingdom, evolutionary biologist Lee Alan Dugatkin reveals a new field of study, uncovering social networks that existed long before the dawn of human social media. He accessibly describes the latest findings from animal behavior, evolution, computer science, psychology, anthropology, genetics, and neurobiology, and incorporates interviews and insights from researchers he finds swimming with manta rays, avoiding pigeon poop, and stopping monkeys from stealing iPads. With Dugatkin as our guide, we investigate social networks in giraffes, elephants, kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, whales, bats, and more. From animal networks in Australia and Asia to Africa, Europe, and the Americas, The Well-Connected Animal is an eye-opening exposé of wild friends, enemies, and everything in between.
