“Different Values: Cultural Shifts in America” examines the country’s Post-COVID moral reckoning, from technology and mental health to War in the Mideast
Different Values: Cultural Shifts in America by Kay Elksong examines significant changes in American life from the COVID pandemic to the War in the Mideast through linked essays.
The book discusses issues such as bias in AI, natural disasters, unaffiliated political movements, and the pursuit of peace in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
It argues that increasing reliance on technology threatens democracy by widening the gap between technology leaders and the general population.
The author emphasizes that empathy, nonviolence, and moral vision are essential responses to global crises, particularly given the lack of international peace efforts and the need to counter cycles of revenge.
