Building on Raymond Williams' iconic "Keywords" released in 1975, Jeffries and Walker show how some pivotal words significantly increased in use and evolved in meaning during the years of the 'New Labour' project. Focussing on print news media, this book establishes a set of socio-political keywords for the 'Blair Years', and demonstrates how their evolving meanings are indicative of the ideological landscape in Britain at that time, and the extent to which the cultural hegemony of the New Labour project influenced the language of the commentariat. Combining corpus linguistic approaches with critical stylistics the authors conduct an analysis of two newspaper corpora using computational tools. Looking closely at textually-constructed meanings within the data, their investigation of the keywords has a qualitative focus, and sets out a clear methodology for combining corpus approaches with systematic co-textual analysis.

Author Boy Lafayette De Mente blames male dominance, invalid and inhuman religious dogma, a new morality based on money and a political system that is dysfunctional for all of problems besetting the United States.De Mente says that the primary cause of the failures of human cultures since day one has been males who put power over females, tribalism, territorialism and race above the rights of people in general."As the eons passed there was a growing awareness among male leaders of the need for rules to control the animalistic attitudes and behavior of men but all of the institutions they created-including religions-continued to reflect the primitive nature of human males-and this nature is responsible for the mess the world is in today," he added.This book details the negative consequences of male dominance in every area of human endeavor, beginning with religions and including business, politics, education, entertainment and the news media, and suggests remedies for the cultural morass that threatens the American dream and imperils the rest of the world.Among the topics dealt with in the book: the harmful influence of advertising, sleaze entertainment, prostitution, the rise of pornography as a major industry, child abuse, sexual abuse, violence, the excess consumption syndrome, the ongoing anti-female dogma of religions, the growth of newspeak to control people, and the good and the bad of the Internet.One of the more unusual recommendations in the book is that parents around the world should emulate the samurai, the hereditary warrior class that ruled Japan from 1192 until the late 1860s, in educating their children. "The 26 attributes samurai parents taught their children reflect wisdom that is still rare in today's world" De Mente said. The 26 attributes are included in the text of the book.

This unique text offers a comprehensive overview of who participates in politics and why, how social and political institutions shape that involvement, and, ultimately, what form citizen political participation takes. Drawing on a multitude of factors to explain politics and political behaviour, Woshinsky shows that political outcomes depend on a complex interplay between individuals and their environment. Psychology, personality, and ideology, together with culture, institutions, and social context shape political behaviour. Explaining Politics offers a wealth of comparative examples and practical applications through a lively and engaging narrative.

Step into the Arena of Reality: Demystifying Political Discourse Amid the dazzle and tumult of what has become an all-encompassing political spectacle lies a truth less traveled--the line where fact meets fiction. "Clarity in the Political Circus: Realizing Fact from Fiction" is not just a book; it's an expedition for those ready to dissect the mechanisms of political engagement and discern the reality masked by the show. Embark on a journey that always begins with the individual: you. As citizens and spectators of this grand theater, understanding the intricate dance between politics and governance is essential. Illustrated through sharp insights and resonant examples, Chapter One sets the stage for the ensuing battle of wits, wisdom, and will. Delve into the craft of political communication and see the strings that pull the puppets in play. Learn to decode the power of narratives, the prowess of persuasion, and how the digital town hall of social media shapes our political discourse. As you journey further, "Clarity in the Political Circus" is your guide through the dense forest of propaganda, gaslighting, and the myriad of tactics employed to throw us off the scent of veracity. Peek behind the curtain at projection and deflection strategies, understanding their role in the blame game of politics. The narratives spun from controversy and scandal offer more than meets the eye--Chapter Ten uncovers the art of drama as a mere distraction. Our emotions, when leveraged in political arenas, become powerful motivators. Discover how fear is used to push agendas and how hope is dangled like a carrot on a stick. Analyze grassroots motions against their manufactured counterparts, the so-called 'Astroturfing,' to recognize the genuine from the guise. Finally, step beyond the role of spectator and into that of a participant. The Conclusion charts a path for active engagement, armed with an appendix of critical thinking tools and fact-checking resources to solidify your journey to the center of political clarity. "Clarity in the Political Circus: Realizing Fact from Fiction" is your companion in the quest to pierce through the noise, understand the show, and engage with reality in the most informed and assured way possible.
