Penn State McCourtney Institute for Democracy

Penn State McCourtney Institute for Democracy

We are partisans for democracy What does that mean? We don't take sides on the political spectrum, but we do defend the rights everyone has as a democratic citizen - from voting to protesting to consuming information from a free press that serves as a check on political leaders.

The McCourtney Institute for Democracy at Penn State draws from the humanities and social sciences to examine democracy from multiple angles. This cross-discipline collaboration is evident in our research, education, and outreach efforts.

Democracy is the sum of us

    When boys play video games, they know they’re in an entirely virtual world. When girls are on social media, they know they’re in the virtual version of the real world. So for boys all the violence they might engage in is entirely virtual; but for girls on social media all of the meanness and nastiness they might experience is coming from other real people. IMHO, that’s why girls are having a much more difficult time.

    Go Nittany Lions! Honestly, I fear the militias the most. Very local and tribal. Very racist and scared. But, seriously, Americans too old, fat and lazy to really be a threat outside their own fiefdoms? I don't think the aunts and uncles could have come back on Jan. 7, 2021 to pull that crap again. I cant see a very organized Civil War. Maybe President Abbott in Texas. Big Showboat Politician. But, I can see a total breakdown of society with high crime and terrorist acts. Don't forget ... during Katrina, a natural disaster, many First Responders stayed home to protect their own. Will armed citizens fill the void? Militias. Sure hope you geniuses in DC have a game plan for this ...

    In this extremely restrictive environment this advice might seem to make sense. For some people (either in or outside of academia) it's a painful lesson that some people are abusive and to be avoided. It's irresponsible to give sweeping advice that could actually cause a person to put themselves in danger.

    The statistics he gave were for a clinical test of 640 mothers and babies, not for the population as a whole. It could very well be that only 3% of all US people who were given peanut products as babies developed an allergy. 1.8% of the entire population is about 6 million. We don't know what portion of them were in which cohort. Which is why clinical trials are useful.

Everything is too damn expensive and that’s why these kids got mental illness. I was 18 years old. I’m not I’m 72.

    What does not kill you is cumulative damage. People make themselves very strong but a certain percentage end up crippled or dead, or have problems later in life due to injuries. People who take care to make themselves fit and healthy are far less likely than "competitors" to end that way. So, this message from Haidt is too simplistic and gives license to some really bad ideas.
