  What's Wrong with Stereotyping?

  What's Wrong with Stereotyping? offers a refreshing and accessibly written philosophical take on the ethics of stereotyping. Stereotyping is woven into every aspect of human experience: conversation, psychology, algorithmic systems, and culture. It relates to generalization and induction, core aspects of rationality. But when and why it is morally wrong to stereotype? This book tackles this deep and enduring puzzle. 
   
   
   
  Core chapters evaluate important ethical wrongs: the failure to treat persons as individuals, disrespect, harm, prejudice, threats to freedoms, and the failure to treat persons as equals. One finds that there is no "essence" of wrongful stereotyping, a single property or set of properties that all problematic cases share in common. Nor are the wrongs of stereotyping reducible to an elegant number, two or three. Instead, wrongful stereotyping is characterized by clusters of wrong-making properties, including all the ones noted here. Listeners will come away with a radically pluralistic, open-ended theory of wrongful stereotyping that they can use to identify wrongful stereotyping in their own lives and our contemporary world. Filled with thought-provoking examples and models for social change, this book emphasizes the messiness of moral reality and the importance of looking to the past in order to understand the ethical perils of stereotyping.

  “A fascinating exploration of the mysteries ignited by DNA genealogy testing—from the intensely personal and concrete to the existential and unsolvable.” —Tana French, New York Times–bestselling author  
   
  You swab your cheek or spit in a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or, the report could reveal a long-buried family secret that upends your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?” Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. 
   
  In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big, timely subject. 
   
  “An urgently necessary, powerful book that addresses one of the most complex social and bioethical issues of our time.” —Dani Shapiro, New York Times–bestselling author 
   
  “Before you spit in that vial, read this book.” —The New York Times Book Review 
   
  “Impeccably researched . . . up-to-the-minute science meets the philosophy of identity in a poignant, engaging debut.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

  How Does Intuition Work?

  Intuition is a phenomenon that offers people the ability to know something instinctively without adopting analytical thought, striking a balance between human mind's conscious and unconscious components, as well as between intuition and intent. Human disconcert is founded on centuries of social bias with the notion of focusing on intuition.  
  In the age of big data, it might seem like a subterfuge or inadequate process to rely on intuition what others consider spirit, instinct, a sixth sense, or a gut feeling. But according to a study of high-level executives, most business pioneers take advantage of their experiences and feelings when coping with challenges. And despite appearances, intuition is not an unconventional term specifically reserved for the realm of self-elating emotion. In reality, there is a neurological foundation for it. 
  When one understands intuition oriented science and how ideas can be affected, he can decide more readily when it is better to go with the gut feeling and when it is better to look at available data.
