Summary

Over a year I wrote more than forty letters to my seventeen-year-old son. They are short reflections on topics ranging from the familiar to the social and political. Topics that are part and parcel of both the daily lives of adults and young people in contemporary society. I am not looking to indoctrinate but rather to share points of view and sincere reflexion for considering part of our reality with a more critical and reflective viewpoint. 
The book, which originated as something special and private between a father and son, is aimed at both young people and adults who wish to go beyond the superficiality and haste of our times. Readers will find in it an opportunity to reflect a little more on the "platitudes" that we often take for granted.

About Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell 
  
Most of us believe that we understand other people. We believe that, when we meet someone, speak with them, shake their hand, look into their eyes, we can get a decent understanding of who they are and what they’re thinking. We believe that a small amount of personal knowledge about a person provides us with a lot of insight into their character. That first meeting, that job interview, the first date gives us some or all of the information we need to make determinations about long-term compatibility. 
But we’re wrong, says Malcom Gladwell. Strangers are more complicated than that. In bestseller Talking to Strangers, Gladwell offers a detailed and compelling exploration of our interactions with strangers, and why they frequently go so poorly, often with disastrous results. 
Please note that this summary of Talking to Strangers is NOT the original book and is meant to be read as a supplement to the original.

  • Vaccine Nation - America’s Changing Relationship with Immunization - cover

    Vaccine Nation - America’s...

    With employers offering free flu shots and pharmacies expanding into one-stop shops to prevent everything from shingles to tetanus, vaccines are ubiquitous in contemporary life. The past fifty years have witnessed an enormous upsurge in vaccines and immunization in the United States: American children now receive more vaccines than any previous generation, and laws requiring their immunization against a litany of diseases are standard. Yet, while vaccination rates have soared and cases of preventable infections have plummeted, an increasingly vocal cross section of Americans have questioned the safety and necessity of vaccines. In Vaccine Nation, Elena Conis explores this complicated history and its consequences for personal and public health. 
Vaccine Nation opens in the 1960s, when government scientists—triumphant following successes combating polio and smallpox—considered how the country might deploy new vaccines against what they called the “milder” diseases, including measles, mumps, and rubella. In the years that followed, Conis reveals, vaccines fundamentally changed how medical professionals, policy administrators, and ordinary Americans came to perceive the diseases they were designed to prevent. She brings this history up to the present with an insightful look at the past decade’s controversy over the implementation of the Gardasil vaccine for HPV, which sparked extensive debate because of its focus on adolescent girls and young women. Through this and other examples, Conis demonstrates how the acceptance of vaccines and vaccination policies has been as contingent on political and social concerns as on scientific findings. 
By setting the complex story of American vaccination within the country’s broader history, Vaccine Nation goes beyond the simple story of the triumph of science over disease and provides a new and perceptive account of the role of politics and social forces in medicine.
