Why It's OK to Ignore Politics

Why It's OK to Ignore Politics

Do you feel like you’re the only person at your office without an I Voted! sticker on Election Day? It turns out that you're far from alone – 100 million eligible U. S. voters never went to the polls in 2016. That’s about 35 million more than voted for the winning presidential candidate. In this book Christopher Freiman explains why these 100 million need not feel guilty. Why It’s OK to Ignore Politics argues that you’re under no obligation to be politically active. Freiman addresses new objections to political abstention as well as some old chestnuts (But what if everyone stopped voting?). He also synthesizes recent empirical work showing how our political motivations distort our choices and reasoning. Because participating in politics is not an effective way to do good Freiman argues that we actually have a moral duty to disengage from politics and instead take direct action to make the world a better place. Key Features: Makes the case against a duty of political participation for a non-expert audience Presupposes no knowledge of philosophy or political science and is written in a style free of technical jargon Addresses the standard much-repeated arguments for why one should vote (e. g. one shouldn’t free ride on the efforts of others) Presents the growing literature on politically motivated reasoning in an accessible and entertaining way Covers a significant amount of new ground in the debate over a duty of political participation (e. g. whether participating absolves us of our complicity in state injustice) Challenges the increasingly popular argument from philosophers and economists that swing state voting is effective altruism Discusses the therapeutic benefits of ignoring politics—it’s good for you your relationships and society as a whole. | Why It's OK to Ignore Politics

Why It's OK to Make Bad Choices

Why It's OK to Make Bad Choices

If we are kind people we care about others including others who tend to hurt themselves. We all have friends or family members who have potential but squander or even ruin their lives from things like drug abuse unwise spending decisions or poor dietary habits. Concern for others often motivates us to endorse laws or private interventions meant to keep people from harming themselves even if that’s what they want to do in the moment. However it is far from clear that such paternalistic measures are on net benign and they tend to violate an understanding that we should let adults make their own decisions. In this little book William Glod argues that it’s OK to allow people to make bad choices. It’s OK even if those choices risk causing a lot of harm. Most defenders of paternalism agree that some bad choices are not harmful enough to require laws to stop them. However Glod goes further. He argues that some people might want – and deserve – the freedom to make truly bad choices because such freedom is the only way they can act responsibly. He also argues that some bad choices may not even be bad even if we can't know with confidence a person's true desires. In addition the book explores choices that are bad because they might impose high monetary costs on others arguing that mandatory insurance may be a better solution than eliminating the choice. Finally it explores the potential pitfalls of paternalistic laws and policies – and how unintended costly consequences can sabotage the most well-intended plans. Key Features Introduces key concepts for understanding paternalism and freedom of choice for undergraduates and general readers Discusses how many of our preferences are not easily understood by others and shows how assumptions of what our true preferences can often backfire Explores ways in which people may want the freedom to make mistakes Examines the unintended consequences and associated problems of many paternalistic laws and regulations | Why It's OK to Make Bad Choices

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Finger-wagging moralizers say the love of money is the root of all evil. They assume that making a lot of money requires exploiting others and that the best way to wash off the resulting stain is to give a lot of it away. In Why It’s OK to Want to Be Rich Jason Brennan shows that the moralizers have it backwards. He argues that in general the more money you make the more you already do for others and that even an average wage earner is productively “giving back” to society just by doing her job. In addition wealth liberates us to have the best chance of leading a life that’s authentically our own. Brennan also demonstrates how money-based societies create nicer more trustworthy and more cooperative citizens. And in another chapter that takes on the new historians of capitalism Brennan argues that wealthy nations became wealthy because of their healthy institutions not from their horrific histories of slavery or colonialism. While writing that the more money one has the more one should help others Brennan also notes that we weren’t born into a perpetual debt to society. It’s OK to get rich and it’s OK to enjoy being rich too. Key Features Shows how the desire to become wealthy in an open and fair market helps maximize cooperation and lessens the chance of violence and war Argues that it is much easier for the average for-profit business to add value to the world than it is for the average non-profit Demonstrates that the kinds of virtues (e. g. conscientiousness thoughtfulness hard work) that lead to desirable personal and civic states (e. g. happy marriages stable families engaged citizens) also make people richer Argues that living in small clans for most of their history has given humans a negative attitude towards anyone acquiring more than her fair share an attitude that’s ill-suited for our market-driven globally connected world In a final provocative chapter maintains that ideal economic growth is infinite. | Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Why It's OK to Eat Meat

Why It's OK to Eat Meat

Vegetarians have argued at great length that meat-eating is wrong. Even so the vast majority of people continue to eat meat and even most vegetarians eventually give up on their diets. Does this prove these people must be morally corrupt? In Why It’s OK to Eat Meat Dan C. Shahar argues the answer is no: it’s entirely possible to be an ethical person while continuing to eat meat—and not just the fancy offerings from the farmers' market but also the regular meat we find at most supermarkets and restaurants. Shahar’s examination forcefully echoes vegetarians’ concerns about the meat industry’s impacts on animals workers the environment and public health. However he shows that the most influential ethical arguments for avoiding meat on the basis of these considerations are ultimately unpersuasive. Instead of insisting we all become vegetarians Shahar argues each of us has broad latitude to choose which of the world’s problems to tackle in what ways and to what extents and hence people can decline to take up this particular form of activism without doing anything wrong. Key Features First book-length defense of meat-eating written for a popular audience Punchy accessible introduction to the multifaceted debate over the ethics of eating meat Includes pioneering new examinations of humane labeling practices Shows why appeals to universalized patterns of behavior can’t vindicate vegetarians’ claims that there’s a duty to avoid meat Develops a novel theory of ethical activism with potential applications to a wide range of other issues | Why It's OK to Eat Meat

Why It's OK to Not Be Monogamous

Why It's OK to Not Be Monogamous

The downsides of monogamy are felt by most people engaged in long-term relationships including restrictions on self-discovery limits on friendship sexual boredom and a circumscribed understanding of intimacy. Yet a happily ever after monogamy is assumed to be the ideal form of romantic love in many modern societies: a relationship that is morally ideal and will bring the most happiness to its two partners. In Why It’s OK to Not Be Monogamous Justin L. Clardy deeply questions these assumptions. He rejects the claim that non-monogamy among honest informed and consenting adults is morally impermissible. He shows instead how polyamorous relationships can actually be exemplars of moral virtue. The book discusses how social and political forces sustain and reward monogamous relationships. The book defines non-monogamy as a privative concept; a negation of monogamy. Looking at its prevalence in the United States the book explains how common criticisms of non-monogamy come up short. Clardy argues as some researchers have recently shown—monogamy relies on continually demonizing non-monogamy to sustain its moral status. Finally the book concludes with a focus on equality asking what justice for polyamorous individuals might look like. | Why It's OK to Not Be Monogamous

Why It's OK to Love Bad Movies

Why It's OK to Love Bad Movies

Most people are too busy to keep up with all the good movies they’d like to see so why should anyone spend their precious time watching the bad ones? In Why It’s OK to Love Bad Movies philosopher and cinematic bottom feeder Matthew Strohl enthusiastically defends a fondness for disreputable films. Combining philosophy of art with film criticism Strohl flips conventional notions of good and bad on their heads and makes the case that the ultimate value of a work of art lies in what it can add to our lives. By this measure some of the worst movies ever made are also among the best. Through detailed discussions of films such as Troll 2 The Room Batman & Robin Twilight Ninja III: The Domination and a significant portion of Nicolas Cage’s filmography Strohl argues that so-called bad movies are the ones that break the rules of the art form without the aura of artistic seriousness that surrounds the avant-garde. These movies may not win any awards but they offer rich opportunities for creative engagement and enable the formation of lively fan communities and they can be a key ingredient in a fulfilling aesthetic life. Key Features: Written in a humorous approachable style appealing to readers with no background in philosophy. Elaborates the rewards of loving bad movies such as forming unlikely social bonds and developing refinement without narrowness. Discusses a wide range of beloved bad movies including Plan 9 from Outer Space The Core Battlefield Earth and Freddy Got Fingered. Contains the most extensive discussion of Nicolas Cage ever included in a philosophy book. | Why It's OK to Love Bad Movies

Why It's OK to Mind Your Own Business

Why It's OK to Mind Your Own Business

Every year millions of students in the United States and around the world graduate from high school and college. Commencement speakers—often distilling the hopes of parents and four years of messaging from educators—tell graduates that they must do something grand ambitious or far-reaching. Change the world. Disrupt the status quo. Every problem in the world is your problem awaiting your solutions. This book is an antidote to that advice. It provides a clear-eyed assessment of three types of people who tend to believe and promote a commencement speaker’s view of the world: the moralizer who imposes unnecessary social costs by inappropriately enforcing morality; the busybody who thinks the stranger and close friend merit equal shares of our benevolent attention; and the pure hearted who equates acting with good intentions with just outcomes. The book also provides a bold defense of living an ordinary life by putting down roots creating a good home and living in solitude. A quiet peaceful life can be generous and noble.

Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan

Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan

This book offers readers a pitch-side view of the ethics of fandom. Its accessible six chapters are aimed both at true sports fans whose conscience may be occasionally piqued by their pastime and at those who are more certain of the moral hazards involved in following a team or sport. Why It’s OK to Be a Sports Fan wrestles with a range of arguments against fandom and counters with its own arguments on why being a fan is very often a good thing. It looks at the ethical issues fans face from the violent or racist behavior of those in the stands to players’ infamous misdeeds to owners debasing their own clubs. In response to these moral risks the book argues that by being critical fans followers of a team or individual can reap the benefits of fandom while avoiding many of the ethical pitfalls. The authors show the value in deeply loving a team but also how a condition of this value is recognizing that the love of a fan comes with real limits and responsibilities. Key Features Provides an accessible introduction to a key area of the philosophy of sport Closely looks at some of the salient ethical concerns around sports fandom Proposes that the value of community in partisan fandom should not be underestimated as a key feature of the good life Examines how the same emotions and environments that can lead to violence are identical to those that lead to virtuous loyalty Argues for a fan’s responsibility in calling out violence or racist behavior from their fellow fans | Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan

Do you have clients who do not want to be helped? Clients who don’t trust you your profession or your service? Clients who don’t want to change despite your best efforts? Then No Bullshit Therapy (NBT) is for you! Most simply NBT is about being authentic. Many people are cajoled pressured or mandated to see therapists counsellors and other helpers.

To make things worse there are few practice models designed to engage people who don’t want to be engaged. NBT creates a context for mutual honesty and directness in working relationships. Creating a context for mutual honesty and directness can be refreshingly effective especially with people who are suspicious of counselling or distrustful of the counsellor. When combined with warmth and care honesty and directness can enhance co-operation connection and trust especially if the practitioner avoids jargon and acknowledges constraints to the work. NBT is ideal for working with people who: Don’t like therapy or the idea of therapy (even if they’ve never had it) Don’t trust warm fuzzy “do-gooders” or “psychologisers” Are suspicious of services because they have experienced trauma and have had abusive institutional experiences or unsatisfactory treatment in the past Don’t see themselves as a client don’t agree with the referrer’s description of them or their problems and appear to not want to change Practical and engaging this book is an essential guide for therapists counsellors and other allied-health professionals who are looking for a more effective way to connect with reluctant clients and ensure they get the support they need.

You Are a Data Person Strategies for Using Analytics on Campus

You Are a Data Person Strategies for Using Analytics on Campus

Internal and external pressure continues to mount for college professionals to provide evidence of successful activities programs and services which means that going forward nearly every campus professional will need to approach their work with a data-informed perspective. But you find yourself thinking “I am not a data person”. Yes you are. Or can be with the help of Amelia Parnell. You Are a Data Person provides context for the levels at which you are currently comfortable using data helps you identify both the areas where you should strengthen your knowledge and where you can use this knowledge in your particular university role. For example the rising cost to deliver high-quality programs and services to students has pushed many institutions to reallocate resources to find efficiencies. Also more institutions are intentionally connecting classroom and cocurricular learning experiences which in some instances requires an increased gathering of evidence that students have acquired certain skills and competencies. In addition to programs services and pedagogy professionals are constantly monitoring the rates at which students are entering remaining enrolled in and leaving the institution as those movements impact the institution’s financial position. From teaching professors to student affairs personnel and beyond Parnell offers tangible examples of how professionals can make data contributions at their current and future knowledge level and will even inspire readers to take the initiative to engage in data projects. The book includes a set of self-assessment questions and a companion set of action steps and available resources to help readers accept their identity as a data person. It also includes an annotated list of at least 20 indicators that any higher education professional can examine without sophisticated data analyses. | You Are a Data Person Strategies for Using Analytics on Campus
