Non-marital cohabitation has become widespread in modern, Western nations. It has led to dramatic declines in marriage rates
and contributed to high levels of unwed births and lone-parent families, thus negatively affecting child wellbeing.

Whatever else the 2008 presidential election may result in, we can be sure that it will only contribute further to the steadily
declining role of political parties in American politics, and the myriad negative consequences arising from that decline.

The situations of nineteenth century dock workers and today’s immigrant day laborers bear striking similarities and challenges,
especially for those seeking to organize them into labor unions. The obstacles confronting such organizing efforts also underscore
the legitimate concerns many Americans have about the threats to social order posed by immigrants today.

Karl Popper’s equation of the closed society with tribalism is reviewed and modified. The German origins of the anthropological
concept of culture and its related ideas of the folk culture and cultural relativism are explored. The vicissitudes of the
idea of The Folk and its swing from Right to Left are related to contemporary neo-primitivism. The open society and high culture
are defended.

Critics of the concept fail to note that staged authenticity is not authenticity but its opposite or negation. This error is illustrated referencing Ed Bruner’s reading of The Tourist in his recent book Culture on Tour.

A law school dean, a university president, a scholarly judge, and the head of the Foreign Ministry division in charge of Chile’s
frontiers agree: The Constitution of 1980 was the initial turning point in Chile’s transition from autocracy to pluralism.

Conservative, and particularly religious opponents of enhancement technologies and of prolonging life indefinitely face formidable
challenges from policymakers who are largely liberated from any forms of Christian moral consensus. This is the predicament
of Daniel Callahan and others who are unable to translate their inescapably religious objections in secular terms.

Women advance more rapidly in the appointive executive and judicial branches than in the elected legislative branch at both
national and state levels. Demand side and supply side factors explain much of this. In particular, greater male variability
restricts the opportunity for gender equity.

Based on first-hand qualitative research, this article describes and analyzes the significant role that a local, New York
City-based social service agency played in responding to 9/11; the sources of its notable ability to provide assistance to
individuals and families affected by this terrorist attack; and the structural strains and unanticipated divisions within
the agency that the heroism of its fervid engagement nevertheless engendered.

Based on examples of socialist heroes from East German schoolbooks and teaching guides designed for elementary school, this
essay examines the role of state ideology in primary education. It assesses the German curriculum of the now-defunct German
Democratic Republic (GDR) and illuminates distinctions between civic education and political propaganda. It also shows how
the curricular emphasis on socialist virtue helped to form “the socialist personality.”

The American approach to secularism is distinctive, differing from the laicite of the French or the Turks in its greater friendliness
to the public expression of religious beliefs and sentiments. Such arrangements are challenging to sustain, requiring constant
renegotiation of acceptable boundaries, but may also provide a more fruitful way of drawing on the moral energies and insights
of religion while keeping them contained within appropriate limits.

The morbidity and mortality issues likely to arise for geriatric superstars are not unlike those already realized for so-called
miracle babies. The therapeutic imperative and other social pressures, the technological imperative, financial interests,
and media hyping have driven the overzealous medical-science pursuits of very old individuals and very young fetal infants.
This article discusses lessons learned and lessons expected.

The interdependence of etiquette consumers and producers makes the contemporary etiquette guide a book of rules informed by
realism rather than one etched from the behavior of the comfortable. While the acquisition of good manners facilitates comfort
and mobility, the yardstick of behavior, like the measure of standard language, evolves with the times and thus is never a
mere instrument of conformity.

This article considers the rise of cosmetic surgical culture against the backdrop of recent explanations that foreground celebrity
culture and the consumer industries. By contrast to these mainstream accounts, the article contends that surgical culture
has become increasingly interwoven with major institutional changes of the global electronic economy. Personal vulnerabilities
in the workplace and wider new economy are explored in the context of people seeking to reinvent themselves and improve their
life prospects through cosmetic surgery.

Biotechnological enhancement of human capabilities reveals a characteristically modern stance toward nature: Human nature,
as given, is an impediment to be overcome on the way to full human freedom. As a form of metaphysical partisanship, the biotech
enterprise seems to further the political intention of Thomas Hobbes to nullify human diversity. Commerce in biotech enhancements,
and the individual liberty such commerce instantiates, is likely to have the ironic effect of psychic homogenization.

Callahan is wrong to be pro-death, but he’s right to say that to live well—or for society to have a real future—we have to
care about more than mere life. Futile attempts to stop the pursuit of extreme personal prolongevity are contrary to our rights-based
way of life. It’s also contrary to human love and dignity to regard the old as a threat.

This essay examines the viability of a publically held, articulated, and enacted bioethic in America's democratic regime.
The essay takes the writings of several thinkers associated with the President's Council on Bioethics as its point of departure.
The essay draws attention to some of the enduring moral, political, religious, and intellectual currents inherent in American
civil society that will continue to provide both resources for and obstacles to any publicly held bioethic in America.
