As we broaden our views, embrace our differences, foster advancements in science and technology, and collaboratively strengthen the political, social, and educational underpinnings from which we build informed and productive lives, we have much to be proud of as a nation and as a people. But we are tempted - particularly during times of political unrest and unbridled patriotism - to ignore the far-reaching repercussions of a society that caters to money and power. In ""Our Culture of Pandering"", former U.S. Senator Paul Simon interrogates the arenas of politics, media, religion, and education to decry the disturbing practices that confuse public service with profit-making ventures or popularity contests. Simon suggests proactive, long-term solutions to the problems that threaten our country's moral, financial, and intellectual well-being - problems that are increasingly exacerbated by our culture of panderin.
