Pinker claims these fears are non sequiturs , and that the blank slate view of human nature would actually be a greater threat if it were true. For example, he argues that political equality does not require sameness, but policies that treat people as individuals with rights; that moral progress doesn't require the human mind to be naturally free of selfish motives, only that it has other motives to counteract them; that responsibility doesn't require behavior to be uncaused, only that it respond to praise and blame; and that meaning in life doesn't require that the process that shaped the brain must have a purpose, only that the brain itself must have purposes.
He also argues that grounding moral values in claims about a blank slate opens them to the possibility of being overturned by future empirical discoveries.
He further argues that a blank slate is in fact inconsistent with opposition to many social evils since a blank slate could be conditioned to enjoy servitude and degradation. Evolutionary and genetic inequality arguments do not necessarily support right-wing policies. Pinker writes that if everyone was equal regarding abilities it can be argued that it is only necessary to give everyone equal opportunity. On the other hand, if some people have less innate ability through no fault of their own, then this can be taken as support for redistribution policies to those with less innate ability.
Further, laissez-faire economics is built upon an assumption of a rational actor , while evolutionary psychology suggests that people have many different goals and behaviors that do not fit the rational actor theory.
Rising living standards, also for the poor, is often used as an argument that inequality need not be reduced, while evolutionary psychology may suggest that low status itself, apart from material considerations, is highly psychologically stressful and may cause dangerous and desperate behaviors, supporting a society reducing inequalities. Finally, evolutionary explanations may also help the left create policies with greater public support, suggesting that people's sense of fairness caused by mechanisms such as reciprocal altruism rather than greed is a primary cause of opposition to welfare, if there is not a distinction in the proposals between what is perceived as the deserving and the undeserving poor.

The third adventure in Sylvia Nobel's mystery series, based on actual newspaper articles, plunges reporter Kendall O'Dell into the centre of the volatile and controversial issues surrounding ranchers and illegal immigrant crossings at the U. When she agrees to investigate the disappearance of a co-worker's relatives who mysteriously vanish after crossing into Arizona, and attempts to tie together frightening UFO sightings, mutilated cattle, and missing immigrants, Kendall's life hangs in the balance when she finally exposes the hideous secret.
Reporter Kendall O'Dell is dragged into a frightening world of secrets and intrigue after the remains of a prominent judge are discovered at a secluded Arizona ranch. As she narrows down the possible suspects, Kendall finds her life—and her engagement to be married—in jeopardy.

The result: more power for some sectors and diminished power for many others, to which professionals in the field need to rapidly adapt.

It illustrates the origins, impact, reach, economics, production, and presentation of sports on video media--including, but not limited to, television. It takes the reader behind the scenes to describe the forces and processes that have shaped and continue to change sports content, its delivery and how it connects with fans.
Dennis Deninger draws from his experiences as an expert in the industry to expose how the choices and decisions that are now being made affect the programming, content, storytelling, production, advertising, and delivery of the sports broadcasting that we will see next season, and how it will evolve in the years to come. This practical, entertaining book provides insights into sports broadcasting that sports management, media, and journalism students and learning practitioners will not find anywhere else.
