"In this first episode, Cayden is joined by Rising Majority National Director Loan Tran to explore the complexities of simultaneously 'blocking' the fascist MAGA movement while 'building' the multiracial democracy we deserve, all within a deeply entrenched culture of over 40 years of neoliberal economic and cultural hegemony."

Can the roots of today's political polarization be traced back to the wisdom of our founding fathers? Federalist Paper Number 10 by James Madison offers insights that resonate with the challenges we face in our current political landscape. Join host Charlie Jett on a historical exploration of Madison's arguments on factionalism and the importance of a unified government. Discover why Madison believed that factions, an inevitable part of human nature, could both endanger and enrich the fabric of democracy, and how a well-constructed federal system could temper their effects. In this episode of "Making of a Great America," you'll gain a deeper understanding of Madison's belief in the power of federalism and the critical checks and balances it provides. Madison's essay underscores the necessity of balancing diverse interests and maintaining a stable government, a message that holds powerful relevance today. As we unpack Madison's insights, we'll explore how his advocacy for a strong federal union acts as a safeguard against the tyranny of factions, and why his timeless arguments continue to influence the principles of governance in the United States. Sit back and immerse yourself in the enduring wisdom that shapes our nation. https://lnkd.in/eZVzzzBn

Modern society has undergone significant transformations over the years, leading to the emergence of various sociological concepts that aim to explain these changes. One such concept is “liquid modernity,” coined by the renowned sociologist Zygmunt Bauman. In this article, we will outline and explain the concept of liquid modernity and its implications for contemporary society. Defining Liquid Modernity Liquid modernity refers to a state of constant change and uncertainty in contemporary society. Bauman argues that traditional modernity, characterized by stability, predictability, and fixed social structures, has given way to a more fluid and flexible form of social organization. In this “liquid” state, everything becomes transient, disposable, and subject to rapid transformation. more information ~~》》 https://lnkd.in/eaiTdg6e more information ~~》》on YouTube https://lnkd.in/e_txn4FN Liquid Democracy ~~~》 》 more information on YouTube https://lnkd.in/eQ_Y8F9g
