| Synopsis: |
Poor education, bad parenting, a sense of entitlements, the "wasteland" of TV, and more. These are the symptoms of a culture in decline. While it's easy to recite a litany of problems, identifying their root causes requires more than the facile commentary offered by most media pundits. This in-depth analysis of cultural trends in America traces the problems of the country's current malaise back to two profoundly misguided view of human nature prevalent in the 20th century - hereditarianism and humanistic psychology. Beyond critique, Ruggiero presents a compelling case for restoring the traditional principles associated with the Western view of human nature - one in which human nature is inherently imperfect but has the potential for goodness and wisdom; intelligence is the sum of inherited capacity and performance attained through merit, training and acquired knowledge; reason is more reliable than feelings; and self-esteem is the result of actual achievement. |
