Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
PURPOSE OF BOOK All diverse people – you, me, and everyone in the human family – must have the maximum individual freedom to live as a liberal, moderate, or conservative without being subjected to harassment. This is why the author advocates for every country on Earth to adopt the “Pluralist Approach” when drafting public policies. The Approach guarantees that all diverse people in a Pluralist Society will have the choice of a lifestyle on the left, middle, or right. The exception is an extremist lifestyle. It is hostile towards (d)emocratic and (r)epublican values along with their rights and liberties supporting representative democracy. Extremists try to use the power of law to force their lifestyle on the entire society against the wishes of almost everyone. THREAT TO CIVILIZATION The USA and world community are under attack from the far left and far right. Their extremist movements are opposed to the reality in every nation of a Pluralist Society. The extremists seek to weaken Pluralism (laws protecting human rights and civil liberties) and the Culture of Democracy (participation in society and government such as voting). These rights and liberties strengthen the fragile nature of civilization against the global threat of tyranny. It jeopardizes freedoms that are essential for a healthy civilization. PLURALIST APPROACH This book seeks to awaken everyone to the benefits of a Pluralist Society. No nation has ever existed on Earth without a Pluralist Society. It presents compelling demands on all countries to build a functioning civilization. The Pluralist Approach starts with the recognition of the inherent nature of humanity with its endless diversity in culture, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. There is then the reality, familiar to us all, of the range of lifestyles in the world. It all leads to the need for society to draft laws that respect this diversity. Such public policies must provide flexibility to permit each individual to live as a liberal, moderate, or conservative. The culture of each nation must be supportive of people being allowed under law to choose how best to live. CONTENTS Brief chapters explain the Pluralist Approach. It is applied in 30 essays on public policies; e.g., abortion, campaign contributions, corruption, death penalty, education, elections, gentrification, globalization, global warming, guns, health care, political discourse, prostitution, racism, religion, sexual harassment, slavery, whistleblowing.
