Common-Sense Patriotism by Archibald A Warden Pdf

In a time where patriotism is equated with blind adherence to a political party or leader, Warden presents a refreshing and common-sense approach to patriotism.

Common Sense by Thomas Paine Pdf

Published in 1776, Common Sense was among series of famous pamphlets that helped the Americans break free from British dominance, ultimately leading to American independence. Common Sense was instrumental in igniting patriotism among the locals and helping them to become freedom fighters on their journey to liberty. Arguing the need for a ruler to rule over people rather than simply to serve them was what made Americans fight for the universal truth of all being born equal. Thanks to its powerful message, the publication became a masterpiece that helped to wake up a whole continent from its 'deep sleep'. It also fits well with today's times explaining the role of government and how it can be formed with all its limitations in force. Explaining disadvantages of letting someone rule over us, it enlists all valid reasons why we need to be free. Common Sense was written by Thomas Paine, an English-born American revolutionary. Born in 1737, he used the power of the media to fight against the powerful political system and set an example for the coming generations to follow. By the time he died in 1809, he had contributed immensely in numerous political upheavals in America, France, and England.

The True Patriot by Eric Liu,Nick Hanauer Pdf

An essential read for both progressives and conservatives, this ‘little red book’ challenges modern patriotism, calling for a return to the ideals on which our democracy was founded Over the course of a generation, patriotism in America has been hijacked by the right and abandoned by the left. But the principles and values of true patriotism—country above self, contribution above consumption, stewardship over exploitation, freedom with responsibility, purpose through sacrifice and service, pragmatism, a fair shot for all—are inherently progressive. Written in the pamphleteering style of Thomas Paine (Common Sense), The True Patriot challenges progressives to reclaim patriotism and spells out just how to do it. This powerful and timely “little red book” combines a manifesto, a ten-principle plan, a model speech, and a moral code. Throughout, it weaves between the words of the authors and excerpts from foundational American texts and speeches, as well as a parade of iconic American images.

Justice Without Borders by Kok-Chor Tan Pdf

The cosmopolitan idea of justice is commonly accused of not taking seriously the special ties and commitments of nationality and patriotism. This is because the ideal of impartial egalitarianism, which is central to the cosmopolitan view, seems to be directly opposed to the moral partiality inherent to nationalism and patriotism. In this book, Kok-Chor Tan argues that cosmopolitan justice, properly understood, can accommodate and appreciate nationalist and patriotic commitments, setting limits for these commitments without denying their moral significance. This book offers a defense of cosmopolitan justice against the charge that it denies the values that ordinarily matter to people, and a defence of nationalism and patriotism against the charge that these morally partial ideals are fundamentally inconsistent with the obligations of global justice. Accessible and persuasive, this book will have broad appeal to political theorists and moral philosophers.

All Media Are Social by Andrew M. Lindner,Stephen R. Barnard Pdf

From TV to smartphone apps to movies to newspapers, mass media are nearly omnipresent in contemporary life and act as a powerful social institution. In this introduction to media sociology, Lindner and Barnard encourage readers to think critically about the power of big media companies, state-media relations, new developments in journalism, representations of race, class, gender, and sexuality in media, and what social media may or may not be doing to our brains, among other topics. Each chapter explores pressing questions about media by carefully excavating the results of classic and contemporary social scientific studies. The authors bring these findings to life with anecdotes and examples ripped from headlines and social media newsfeeds. By synthesizing research on new media and traditional media, entertainment media and news, quantitative and qualitative studies, All Media Are Social offers a succinct and accessibly-written analysis of both enduring patterns and some of the newest developments in mass media. With strong emphases on theory and methods, Lindner and Barnard provide students and general readers alike with the tools to better understand the ever-changing media landscape.

Reclaiming Patriotism in an Age of Extremes by Steven B. Smith Pdf

A rediscovery of patriotism as a virtue in line with the core values of democracy in an extremist age "Like you perhaps, I still regard myself as an extremely patriotic person. Which is why I so admired [this book]. . . . It explained my emotion to me, as it might yours to you." --David Brooks, New York Times "Smith superbly illuminates the distinctiveness of the American idea of patriotism and reminds us of how important patriotism is, and how essential to making America better."--Leslie Lenkowsky, Wall Street Journal The concept of patriotism has fallen on hard times. What was once a value that united Americans has become so politicized by both the left and the right that it threatens to rip apart the social fabric. On the right, patriotism has become synonymous with nationalism and an "us versus them" worldview, while on the left it is seen as an impediment to acknowledging important ethnic, religious, or racial identities and a threat to cosmopolitan globalism. Steven B. Smith reclaims patriotism from these extremist positions and advocates for a patriotism that is broad enough to balance loyalty to country with other loyalties. Describing how it is a matter of both the head and the heart, Smith shows how patriotism can bring the country together around the highest ideals of equality and is a central and ennobling disposition that democratic societies cannot afford to do without.

Common Sense About the War by George Bernard Shaw Pdf

"Common Sense About the War" is a collection of essays by George Bernard Shaw, the renowned Irish playwright, critic, and social reformer. Written during World War I, these essays offer Shaw's unique perspective on the conflict and its broader implications for society. In "Common Sense About the War," Shaw challenges prevailing attitudes towards war and nationalism, advocating for a more rational and humanitarian approach to international relations. He critiques the jingoism and propaganda that often accompany wartime rhetoric, urging readers to question the motives behind the conflict and to consider the human cost of war. Through his incisive analysis and biting wit, Shaw exposes the contradictions and hypocrisies of war propaganda, highlighting the role of vested interests and political manipulation in shaping public opinion. He calls for greater transparency and accountability in government decision-making, arguing that the true interests of the people are often sacrificed in the pursuit of power and profit.

Minority Rights in the Middle East by Joshua Castellino,Kathleen A. Cavanaugh Pdf

Within the Middle East there are a wide range of minority groups outside the mainstream religious and ethnic culture. This book provides a detailed examination of their rights as minorities within this region, and their changing status throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The rights of minorities in the Middle East are subject to a range of legal frameworks, having developed in part from Islamic law, and in recent years subject to international human rights law and institutional frameworks. The book examines the context in which minority rights operate within this conflicted region, investigating how minorities engage with (or are excluded from) various sites of power and how state practice in dealing with minorities (often ostensibly based on Islamic authority) intersects with and informs modern constitutionalism and international law. The book identifies who exactly can be classed as a minority group, analysing in detail the different religious and ethnic minorities across the region. The book also pays special attention to the plight of minorities who are spread between various states, often as the result of conflict. It assesses the applicable domestic legislative instruments within the three countries investigated as case studies: Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, and highlights key domestic remedies that could serve as models for ensuring greater social cohesion and greater inclusion of minorities in the political life of these countries.
