Ignorance Power And Harm written by Alana Barton and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-10-15 with Social Science categories.

This book discusses the concept of 'agnosis' and its significance for criminology through a series of case studies, contributing to the expansion of the criminological imagination. Agnotology – the study of the cultural production of ignorance, has primarily been proposed as an analytical tool in the fields of science and medicine. However, this book argues that it has significant resonance for criminology and the social sciences given that ignorance is a crucial means through which public acceptance of serious and sometimes mass harms is achieved. The editors argue that this phenomenon requires a systematic inquiry into ignorance as an area of criminological study in its own right. Through case studies on topics such as migrant detention, historical institutionalised child abuse, imprisonment, environmental harm and financial collapse, this book examines the construction of ignorance, and the power dynamics that facilitate and shape that construction in a range of different contexts. Furthermore, this book addresses the relationship between ignorance and the achievement of ‘manufactured consent’ to political and cultural hegemony, acquiescence in its harmful consequences and the deflection of responsibility for them.

An introduction to the new area of ignorance studies that examines how science produces ignorance—both actively and passively, intentionally and unintentionally. We may think of science as our foremost producer of knowledge, but for the past decade, science has also been studied as an important source of ignorance. The historian of science Robert Proctor has coined the term agnotology to refer to the study of ignorance, and much of the ignorance studied in this new area is produced by science. Whether an active or passive construct, intended or unintended, this ignorance is, in Proctor's words, “made, maintained, and manipulated” by science. This volume examines forms of scientific ignorance and their consequences. A dialogue between Proctor and Peter Galison offers historical context, presenting the concerns and motivations of pioneers in the field. Essays by leading historians and philosophers of science examine the active construction of ignorance by biased design and interpretation of experiments and empirical studies, as seen in the “false advertising” by climate change deniers; the “virtuous” construction of ignorance—for example, by curtailing research on race- and gender-related cognitive differences; and ignorance as the unintended by-product of choices made in the research process, when rules, incentives, and methods encourage an emphasis on the beneficial and commercial effects of industrial chemicals, and when certain concepts and even certain groups' interests are inaccessible in a given conceptual framework.

Agnotology is the study of ignorance. This expose' unleashes a new attack on traditional questions about "how we know" to ask: Why don't we know what we don't know?! Agnotology (formerly agnatology) shows that ignorance is often more than just a lack of knowledge; it can also be the deliberate manufactured outcome of political and cultural struggles. What keeps ignorance alive, or allows it to be used as a political weapon of mass destruction? Ignorance has a history and a political geography, but there are also things people don't want you to know ("Ignorance is bliss" is a common cliché). This book treats examples from the realms of economic illiteracy, history, global climate change, militarism, environmental denialism, archaeology and anarchaeology, racial ignorance, and more. Those who do not study the past are condemned to repeat it. The goal of Agnotologists is to better understand how and why various forms of knowing do not come to be, or have disappeared, or have become invisible.

Agnotology means 'Culturally induced ignorance by the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data. Just for a minute ponder what agnotology in vaccines means and you will start to realise that we have been 'lied' to. Lies by obfuscation. Parents need to get up to speed on the knowledge that is being kept hidden from them in the name of money. The pharmaceutical industry is hiding truth and this not only needs to stop but as parents, we also need to find out why this is happening and how we can protect our children from the poison needles. We have a generation of children to protect...not to mention the entire human genome! Each and every parent has to start asking questions about their children's health. Why not? What harm can possibly come from doing the best job you can as a parent by protecting your children's health? The answer to that is, none. In fact, the second you became a parent, is when that became your ONLY job. Your job, until your child turns 18, is to protect them from a world that would eat them, metaphorically speaking. You must protect not only their physical health but also their mental, emotional and spiritual health. That's your job, and you're here doing it. Good on you! Pixie names the names and joins the dots of the vaccine industry in Australia and elsewhere (and it's more shocking than we all thought, unfortunately) In addition to spilling the beans on the inner circle of vaccinators, this book also... Gives examples of how to avoiding being mandated into receiving vaccines - Protecting you and your family's health now and into the future. Chapter 9 explores the roles of cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias and Stockholm Syndrome - Never again wonder why pro vaccinators seem to absolutely refuse to look at any 'science' that doesn't fit their worldview. Chapter 6 - 'Others Who Are Trying To Warn You' details 22 people that have (mostly) risked it all; career, family, house, relationships, even life, to bring you the honest truth about the dangers of vaccines. Appendix 1 offers the Uninformed Things Pro Vaxxers Say With Refutations Guide - Great to refer to when those common sound bites are provided as 'proof' that "Vaccines are safe and effective" This book is not intended as a scientific guide to vaccines dangers, however, it does include exactly 100 high-quality references to back up all claims.

Agnotology in Vaccines has taken a turn for the worse in 2020. This is your update on the cultural ignorance induced by the publication of misleading and inaccurate scientific data in the year 2020. Agnotology means 'the cultural ignorance induced by the publication of misleading and inaccurate scientific data' Governments around the world are mandating vaccines at a rate of knots and the safety studies have NEVER been done! The vaccine debate is not all as it seems. Pixie Seymour is helping to end this culture of ignorance by lifting the lid on the foul practice that is agnotology in vaccines. Find out who's who and join the dots of the vaccine industry here in Australia and elsewhere (and it's way more shocking than you think!) She has a background in marketing and natural health and is a mother of four children. Only one is of school age and once she found out what's in vaccines, she realised that her youngest child is in the firing line. It's personal for Pixie.

Throughout the past several years, diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives have been a part of a growing phenomenon to address the diverse needs of organizations. However, the act of diversity training and implementation in programs has traditionally been reactive as a result of a scandal rather than proactive. As more industries see the benefits of diversity, equity, and inclusion training, we will continue to see the benefits of a sustainable, healthy working environment for all. Challenges to Integrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Programs in Organizations is an essential reference source that shares the challenges and opportunities faced by diversity, equity, and inclusion officers who are leading their organizations to becoming more diverse, equitable, and inclusive working environments. Featuring research on topics such as institutional equity, organizational culture, and diverse workplace, this book is ideally designed for administrators, human resource specialists, researchers, business professionals, academicians, and students, as well as organizations looking to make the intentional shifts necessary to develop and foster a more inclusive working and learning environment.

The cigarette is the deadliest artifact in the history of human civilization. It is also one of the most beguiling, thanks to more than a century of manipulation at the hands of tobacco industry chemists. In Golden Holocaust, Robert N. Proctor draws on reams of formerly-secret industry documents to explore how the cigarette came to be the most widely-used drug on the planet, with six trillion sticks sold per year. He paints a harrowing picture of tobacco manufacturers conspiring to block the recognition of tobacco-cancer hazards, even as they ensnare legions of scientists and politicians in a web of denial. Proctor tells heretofore untold stories of fraud and subterfuge, and he makes the strongest case to date for a simple yet ambitious remedy: a ban on the manufacture and sale of cigarettes.
