Mission Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 random thought: How did we become this anal retentive anti-bacterial germophobic society? We were filthy slobs less than 300 years ago throwing our excriment out the window on who ever happened to be unfortunate enough to be below and gee, the human race survived. Now everybody is so paranoid, you'd think one speck of dirt was going to kill them. Yet for all our cleanliness we're just getting sicker. Personally, I blame the media, ever looking for sweeps-month crises to raise their rating so they can charge the advertisers more. My advice: don't watch the news during sweeps (Feb, Apr/May and Nov). In fact, you're probably just better off not watching it at all. This looks kind of interesting: Creating Fear: News and the Construction of Crisis by David Altheide. From Amazon: "Fear is pervasive in the United States. Numerous opinion polls indicate that American citizens remain fearful despite clear evidence that most citizens are healthier, safer, and happier than ever before. Why? Dr. Altheide, whose interpretive studies of the mass media are well known, provides an answer based on a variant of frame analysis of news reports and popular culture. "Availing himself of electronic information bases, Altheide employs a method, which he calls "tracking discourse," to map how the nature and extent of use of the word "fear" has changed since the 1980s; how the topics associated with fear, the topics of the media discourse, have also changed over the same period (e.g., the emphasis "moves" over time across AIDS, crime, immigrants, race, sexuality, schools, and children); and how certain news sources prevail over others, thus protectively insulating themselves from criticism of the premises of their discourse frames. "The creative use of fear by news media and social control organizations has produced a "discourse of fear"—the awareness and expectation that danger and risk are lurking everywhere. Case studies illustrate how certain organizations and social institutions benefit from the exploitation of such fear construction. One social impact is a manipulated public empathy: We now have more "victims" than at any time in our prior history. Another, more troubling result is the role we have ceded to law enforcement and punishment: We turn ever more readily to the state and formal control to protect us from what we fear. This book, which attempts through the marshalling of significant data to interrupt that vicious circle of fear discourse, will be of interest to sociologists, communications scholars, and criminologists." Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caraccioli Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 This one sounds good, too: False Alarm: The Truth about the Epidemic of Fear by Marc MD Siegel "Life today for citizens of the developed world is safer, easier, and healthier than for any other people in history thanks to modern medicine, science, technology, and intelligence. So why is an epidemic of fear sweeping America? The answer, according to nationally renowned health commentator Dr. Marc Siegel, is that we live in an artificially created culture of fear. In False Alarm, Siegel identifies three major catalysts of the culture of fear—government, the media, and big pharma. With fascinating, blow-by-blow analyses of the most sensational false alarms of the past few years, he shows how these fearmongers manipulate our most primitive instincts—often without our even realizing it. False Alarm shows us how to look behind the hype and hysteria, inoculate ourselves against fear tactics, and develop the emotional and intellectual skills needed to take back our lives."

CrazyCholeBlack Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 *moved back here after the bug picture thing split* I think I should have been a detective. Or maybe I'm just too nosy. My mom did always refer to me as a "finder", as in, if there is something that is being hidden, I'll find it, most of the time while not even realizing what I'm doing. Wonder if there are other people like that? "If part of the goods be plundered by a pirate the proprietor or shipmaster is not entitled to any contribution."

And if that was going to be happining.... why bother building things or hastle with the up-keep..... Yeah, but the founders of the church though that too. So ennui created by the imminency of the coming of Christ would go all the way back to 1 and 2 A.D. The dark ages didn't start until around 500 AD. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
