Stories I Only Tell My Friends - Rob Lowe - A Short Summary and Review

Strangers In Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right - Arlie Russell Hochschild - A Short Summary & Review


A short summary of the book Strangers In Their Own Land:

The specifics behind Conservative's speaking points.

My favorite Arlie Russell Hochschild quote from the book:

"The general talk around town was that the choice was between the environment and jobs."


Questions to ponder while reading the book:

Do you believe that corporations put forth propaganda?

Do you feel that most laws and regulations attack people, not companies?

My review of Strangers In Their Own Land:

I love the term "empathy wall"

It is important to look at everyone's "side"

The environmental damage caused by oil and petrochem in Louisiana hurts my heart, and it is completely unacceptable.
