![]() ![]() They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective-from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse). In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. When asked simple questions about global trends- what percentage of the world’s population live in poverty why the world’s population is increasing how many girls finish school-we systematically get the answers wrong.

What I aim to do in this paper is to re-evaluate hooks and propose ways to address some of these supposed contradictions. Despite her novel ideas though, most critics raise concerns about her inconsistencies, lack of methodology, and critical awareness. hooks targets white-supremacist, capitalist patriarchy and highlights the ways race and class affect ones experiences of sexism and patriarchy. Even before “intersectionality” became a buzzword in feminist circles, hooks has already been talking about the interlocking webs of oppression, a concept that most feminists associate with intersectionality. Although several other feminist theorists have made the same criticisms, what sets hooks apart is her invitation to a revolutionary feminist outlook, which uses a pluralistic lens to recognize the absence of oppressed groups and the interrogation of cultural representations. ![]() In Feminist theory: from margin to center, feminist theorist bell hooks questioned the existing feminist discourses during her time by pointing out the lack of a solid definition of feminism and the predominance of white, privileged feminists in the movement. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() From Dean's cat-hating dog to Thom's chronic health issues and preferences in bed, going from a casual date to something more will be a challenge for both of them.

It's our blindness in judgement that makes us not see that some people are just not born to smile when told to go and fight for their country. Whether you are a dope smuggler or not doesn't really matter. It's a shame this book didn't get more attention but anyone who is tagged by the established system in our world, we are imposed not to care about.

It's hard to bring forth the world that Howard Marks moved in because even if was Tolstoy himself, it's a world that describes to the smallest detail still wouldn't make any sense to a person working the treadmill, one day after the other. Yes, the editing of it wasn't the best and there are some technicalities that don't really work but the story itself and the man himself, may Allah have mercy upon his soul, was a goodhearted rebel with a good understanding and sound insight into what is daily imposed on us, the system of opportunity which requires more abilities to master than what we are taught in school. ![]() |
