Sinopse

"Taboo Social Stigmas" presents a groundbreaking exploration of how social prejudices develop, persist, and can be effectively addressed in modern society. This comprehensive work reveals that prejudices aren't innate human characteristics but learned responses that begin forming as early as age three, shaped by cultural transmission and social learning.

 
Through a unique combination of neuroscience, psychology, and sociological research spanning 47 cultures and involving over 50,000 participants, the book builds a compelling case for understanding and combating social stigmas through evidence-based approaches. The book's progression from theoretical foundation to practical application makes complex concepts accessible to both professionals and general readers.

 
Beginning with an examination of the neurological basis of prejudice formation, it moves through the mechanisms of societal reinforcement before culminating in concrete intervention strategies. This structure allows readers to grasp both the scientific underpinnings of social stigmas and the practical tools needed to address them effectively.

 
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach, combining cutting-edge neuroscience imaging studies with anthropological surveys and psychological research to present a complete picture of how prejudices operate at both individual and institutional levels. The book offers practical, evidence-based strategies for recognizing implicit biases, developing anti-discrimination policies, and creating inclusive environments, making it an invaluable resource for educators, policy makers, and anyone interested in fostering social change.

The Devil You Know - A Black...

Anônimo

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
A New York Times Editor’s Choice | A Kirkus Best Nonfiction Book of the Year 
?The Inspiration for the HBO Original Documentary South to Black Power 
From journalist and New York Times bestselling author Charles Blow comes a powerful manifesto and call to action, ""a must-read in the effort to dismantle deep-seated poisons of systemic racism and white supremacy"" (San Francisco Chronicle). 
Race, as we have come to understand it, is a fiction; but, racism, as we have come to live it, is a fact. The point here is not to impose a new racial hierarchy, but to remove an existing one. After centuries of waiting for white majorities to overturn white supremacy, it seems to me that it has fallen to Black people to do it themselves. 
Acclaimed columnist and author Charles Blow never wanted to write a “race book.” But as violence against Black people—both physical and psychological—seemed only to increase in recent years, culminating in the historic pandemic and protests of the summer of 2020, he felt compelled to write a new story for Black Americans. He envisioned a succinct, counterintuitive, and impassioned corrective to the myths that have for too long governed our thinking about race and geography in America. Drawing on both political observations and personal experience as a Black son of the South, Charles set out to offer a call to action by which Black people can finally achieve equality, on their own terms. 
So what will it take to make lasting change when small steps have so frequently failed? It’s going to take an unprecedented shift in power. The Devil You Know is a groundbreaking manifesto, proposing nothing short of the most audacious power play by Black people in the history of this country. This book is a grand exhortation to generations of a people, offering a road map to true and lasting freedom.

Virgin Strategist The: How Women...

A.A. Castor

What if virginity wasn't a fact—but a strategy? 
In a world obsessed with chastity, control, and feminine mystique, The Virgin Strategist exposes the raw mechanics behind one of society's most powerful illusions: the untouchable woman. This isn't a book about sex—it's about the absence of it, and the social currency that "not giving in" can generate. 
From purity culture to OnlyFans rebrands, this book explores how modern women wield the idea of virginity—real or fabricated—as a weapon of control, manipulation, and upward mobility. Whether she's a born-again good girl, a celibate tease, or a single mother suddenly setting moral boundaries, the Virgin Strategist isn't lying. She's surviving. She's performing. And she's winning. 
Drawing from psychology, sociology, and unapologetic real-world case studies, this brutal analysis dives into:How celibacy can command more power than sexThe female fear of being "too available"Faux purity as brandingLong-distance virginity performancesEmotional withholding and religious re-inventionAnd the emotional toll of always pretending to be "clean" 
The Virgin Strategist is not for the faint-hearted. It is for readers who want to understand the game behind the innocence, the strategy behind the smile, and the power behind the "no." 
Dead serious. Laughably real. Disturbingly true.

Can Insight Be Awakened in...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Can insight be awakened in another?" - 19 April 1980What is the relationship to society of a man who has insight? What is his action with regard to war and the whole world?Q: What is the significance of mankind in the universe, or in the ‘ground’?‘Y’ is concerned with ‘Show me, prove it to me, what benefit it has, will I get my future...’ And he is looking at ‘X’ with the eyes that are so accustomed to this pettiness. He reduces that immensity to his pettiness and puts it in a temple, and has therefore lost it completely. But there is something so immense that ‘X’ says, ‘Please do look at this,’ and ‘Y’ translates this into, ‘Show it to me, prove it to me. Will I have a better life?’‘X’ brings light. That’s all he can do.To divert the course of man’s destruction somebody must listen.
