John Taylor Gatto's Weapons of Mass Instruction focuses on mechanisms of traditional education which cripple imagination, discourage critical thinking, and create a false view of learning as a byproduct of rote-memorization drills. Gatto's earlier book, Dumbing Us Down, introduced the now-famous expression of the title into the common vernacular. Weapons of Mass Instruction adds another chilling metaphor to the brief against conventional schooling.

THE PRIEST IS NOT HIS OWN & CALVARY AND THE MASS Two of Archbishop Fulton J.

If you have read Volumes 1 to 6, by now you surely realized that most of my predictions revealed to be correct.

He wrote in his spare time after doing shifts on the San Francisco docks, where he continued to work, even after becoming a successful author. Hoffer began writing The True Believer in the 1940s, as Nazism and fascism spread across Europe. Most analysts who were trying to work out how these movements became so powerful focused on their leaders and the ideas they trumpeted.

The topic of propaganda has become increasingly relevant in recent years. With the advancement of technology, people are increasingly more vulnerable to disinformation. Japan experienced a similar situation in the early 1900s and 1930s. With the rise of mass production of newspapers and magazines amidst the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese population became instilled in nationalism and militarism. Despite the era of demilitarization and democratization that followed after World War I, the Japanese Empire, once again, became fixated on expansion. This time, advancements in radio and film ...

C'è chi accusa i giornali e i mass media di essere "finti" (Trump e dintorni), e c'è chi pensa che solo loro possano salvarci dalle bufale. La verità è che le bufale (o, meglio, la "cattiva informazione") rischiano di annidarsi un po' ovunque. Le bufale esistono da sempre: dalla Donazione di Costantino (con la smentita di Lorenzo Valla, il primo degli "hoaxbusters") alla "Guerra dei Mondi" di Orson Welles.
