  The Thinkers - The Rise of...

  Increasingly, political parties have adopted not only different policies, but different sets of facts. As E. J. Fagan argues, partisan think tanks have helped create these alternate realities in their capacity as de facto formal party organizations. Through the analyses generated by aligned think tanks, political elites on both the left and right frequently offer radically different assessments of a policy's consequences. 
   
   
   
  In The Thinkers, Fagan tells the story of how partisan think tanks displaced non-partisan experts to become the closest policy advisors to the Republican and Democratic Parties. He explores their history, how they influence policymakers, and how their influence impacts the polarization of American politics. More broadly, Fagan shows that the rise of partisan think tanks tracks closely with the increase in political polarization since the 1970s. Because they are funded and staffed by strong ideologues, partisan think tanks seek to move their party's preferences to the left or right of center. When they are successful, parties take more extreme positions than if they had only drawn information from non-partisan sources, which increases polarization. A powerful account of the impact of partisan think tanks on American democracy, The Thinkers will reshape our understanding of the fundamental drivers of the US's polarized political system.

  The Frogs

  Aristophanes

  In The Frogs, the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes crafts a comedic and satirical journey to the underworld, where the god Dionysus seeks to bring back a great tragic playwright to save Athens. Disguised as Heracles, Dionysus embarks on a series of farcical adventures, culminating in a contest between the spirits of Aeschylus and Euripides to determine who is the superior dramatist. Blending sharp wit, literary critique, and political commentary, the play mocks contemporary Athenian culture while celebrating the power of art to shape society. With its lively dialogue, clever wordplay, and fantastical premise—including a chorus of frogs whose croaking becomes a memorable refrain—The Frogs remains a brilliant example of classical comedy that explores the role of tragedy, leadership, and the moral health of the state. Entertaining and thought-provoking, it offers enduring insights into literature, democracy, and human folly.

  ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disease) is a common emotional and behavioral disorder that can disrupt a child's academic and social functioning. ADHD is characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and motor activity that are developmentally inappropriate. Within an educational setting, children with attention problems form a unique group with a wide range of demands. Although there are various issues linked with children who have been diagnosed with ADHD, many parents and educators are concerned about social skill impairments.The most unpleasant element of ADHD-related deficits is not being accepted by one's peer group, feeling separated, strange, unlikeable, and alone, and these experiences have long-term consequences. It's crucial to maintain positive relationships with people. Though children with ADHD really want to make friends and be accepted by their peers, they frequently lack the skills to do so. The good news is that you can assist your child in developing these social abilities and skills.
