| Publisher Description: "American Psyche" is a comprehensive examination of the American culture, beginning with our history and incorporating an in-depth analysis of our somewhat dysfunctional history, political, education and legal systems, the media, Hollywood, the importance of formal language, our unique cultural and social issues. This book offers an in-depth examination of today's America and all things "American" in general of which a majority of the population is unaware. A brief history, evolution, social and cultural constructs, where we are and where we are headed with identification of existential problems and potential solutions are all discussed. More specifically, the book begins with our founding, dreams of our founding fathers and a look at the current state of the union, the Constitution and laws, political activities, corporate America, Hollywood, the media, veterans, the "American" language, culture, religion, taxation, victim-hood, race, social labeling, identity politics and the American personality. Everyone who is an American, wants to come and be an American or those who just want to understand what it means to be an American lack one thing in common: The reality of what America is, how it became such and why an understanding of America is essential. There is an American personality. It encompasses all our feelings, behaviors and thoughts. It has developed over the past few hundred years and all Americans are infected. But few understand the causes of this personality, what it is, how it is manifest and why the understanding of it is critical in today's world.Whether you read Mark Levin or Thomas Friedman, watch Rachel Maddow or Sean Hannity or listen to Paul Krugman or Thomas Sowell, you are being given information that is tainted in some way, usually by the fact that even those writers, journalists and economists have all been indoctrinated by the institutions that dominate in today's America or simply those people who have the greatest influence.All human beings live out their lives in perpetual ignorance. Most of what the human race knows is incidental, not learned first-hand. What if those sources are inaccurate, worse, completely wrong? Just how much of what you know is objective reality as opposed to opinion having been garnered from a teacher who was an ideologue, a media giant slanting the news, some political rhetoric from a favored politician, some product you bought that was touted by a Hollywood celebrity, even your own Mom, Dad, siblings or peers? Do you know why you are a fan of a particular ball team? Wonder why you THINK Hillary was a great politician or that Trump deserved the White House? This book is written in an easy to read conversational style. It's easily understandable to those who don't know much about Psychology, Science or Politics, and the book's message is solid in its' scientific accuracy as well as being culturally and socially pertinent. |
