Learn about the science behind what I am saying. Go to the website 'project implicit' by Dr. Implicit knowledge drives behavior until and unless it is brought into awareness. Television, movies, news media: if it is sponsored it is laced with implicit messages that you only perceive implicitly. Stay away from any programming that someone pays for. ALL the customs of society are embedded in the syntax: gender, race, marriage, parenting, wealth and right and wrong. This is the only long term solution to the problem with brokering power in society. We need to construct more systems of language with which to modify our behaviors, and add behaviors with which to modify speech. Problems with behavior must be resolved with adding more behaviors. Knowledge we acquire through behavior and express through behavior it is largely knowledge not held consciously in the mind.
There are words for this type of knowledge: 'procedural', or 'implicit'.
Does anyone reading this wonder where to place the nouns in sentences, or what tense of verb to use? Young children develop facility with their native languages long before they go to school so long as they interact with other people children learn to speak language grammatically within the first 4 years of life. Social structures are embedded in the syntax of language, not the semantics. The problem is far more difficult to grasp and manage else why would we continue to see these powers with abuse and neglect across societies, centuries, indeed, millennia, race, culture, creed? The strongest predictor of class in Boston is the pronunciation of a specific phoneme (a phoneme is to spoken language what a letter is to the written representation, 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', etc.) A PENN psycholinguist researched predictors of class and published these findings 30-40 years ago. The film honors the sacrifices of all those who have battled to win the freedoms we enjoy today, and reminds us of the importance of demanding equality for all and speaking truth to power. Plutocracy: Political Repression in the USA is a smart and engrossing tale of an issue which continues to drive economic instability and power dynamics today. Change only becomes possible when the working masses band together under the shelter of a common cause of fair and equal rights. Throughout history, liberty has come at a cost far more profound than dollars and cents. Rockefeller could escape the burdens of service by making a cash payment of three hundred dollars. The wealthiest figures of the day paid destitute soldiers to fight on their behalf, and some like business magnate John D. During the Civil War, which ranks as the most devastating union conflict in the history of the United States, hundreds of thousands of casualties occurred, many of which were from the poorest populations. The fight for freedom from the tyranny of wealthy industrialists was fraught by thousands of lives lost, and many more wounded and incarcerated.Īs the film makes clear, the country's founding fathers saw the potential for such class conflicts even before industrialized capitalism made its way to America's shores.
The industry itself chose to fight back with the importation of replacement workers, and the structuring of new contracts which disallowed workers from joining a union. Working under extreme conditions plagued by brutalizing hours, unprecedented accident rates and severe health hazards, the miners decided to fight back through strikes and the formation of their own labor union. Take, for example, the West Virginia coal mining industry in the early years of the 20th century. The long and painful journey towards achieving worker rights and fair wages has been marked by violence, discrimination, and inhumane exploitation. While these economic and class divides seem more pronounced than ever before, the impressive new documentary Plutocracy: Political Repression in the USA reveals that the core of these struggles pre-date the beginnings of the industrialized labor force. Income inequality has become a key hot button issue in the modern day political spectrum.
