Nounism: Taking Things Too Seriously
Last week New Yorker columnist George Packer noted that while Sarah Palin’s syntax is mangled, more significantly it lacks verbs. It’s mostly nouns. Maverick, hockey mom, Joe sixpack, elitist, terrorist, small-town people-lots of heavily loaded nouns.
Loaded nouns and the adjectives that modify them are part of everyone’s vocabulary, but in recent decades-under the influence of Karl Rove and a general Republican emphasis on sounding practical-conservatives have leaned heavily upon them. This year’s election is turning out to be something of a referendum on radical nounism, which looks to be going down if not out. In the current economic crisis people want to know what the candidates will do. For the first time in decades, noun-intensive rhetoric isn’t winning votes.

You want to go beyond just the usual: Selling candy, magazines, putting up a food stand, etc. And you don’t know what to do. You want to do a good job and you want to help in a cause that is vital and important in the lives of your fellow man.
Consider strongly the challenge of educating people of all ages on the subject of drug misuse and prevention of its accompanying misery. The negative impact of drug abuse and addiction needs to be slowed down by each and every one of us so that society can repair itself and regain lost health, general welfare, intelligence, and the happiness it once had prior to the unfortunate growth of the drug culture in our lives. And fund-raising is relatively easy with this project. Here are just a handful of facts about how drugs are negatively impacting upon our lives now:
Distance Learning Criminal Psychology Course
NCC Home Learning offers affordable, fully accredited home study courses in a vast range of subject areas.
