When hate happens, it is the Other Bad Stuff: Respect diversity – teach tolerance – fight hate!

admin — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:55:41 +0000

When hate happens … was written to imtelligent, thoughtful and open appeal to a wider audience. While it is rooted in the psychological and sociological well-documented research, the use of jargon is avoided, so-far-as-possible, and the book is written in an informal style that is based on common sense and down-to-earth sociology. What numbers and statistics are used by the author in speaking of his own original research on the manifest hatred and mutual negative impact on society in the right direction and non-mathematical terms, and presents the lack of mathematical sophistication and statistics should not be an obstacle for understanding. An important stated goal is to promote, stimulate, motivate and possibly further guidance for those who are already required to learn diversity, tolerance and the fight against hatred. In the last chapter several strategies to take the reader to reach their common goals can be progressive. The lack of respect for diversity, intolerance and indifference or in the obvious hatred and the currently obscene levels of economic inequality involved belong to our closest and most important national problems, and what we choose to do or not to do, it will ultimately determine the fate and the survival of our democracy is not yet consolidated.
