What does society forbid, and why? And how does the forbidden relate to power and social control in society? John Schostak looks at family life, education, popular culture, information media, and the press. He shows how society maps out forbidden courses and "proper" courses for men and women to follow. Then he demonstrates that the forbidden, though often desired, is relied upon to keep people in their place - within the bounds of the familiar. He asserts that this needs to be challenged - through the media, through schooling and through the family - if we are to consider ours a free society.

Softcover. Etat : Very Good. 248pp. Laminated card covers (just a little rubbed at edges). Looks at the variety of ways in which we appear to learn about good and evil arguing that in the family, school, workplace and media we are being relentlessly schooled in a particular way of seeing, thinking and behaving and that the choice between heroism and villainy is illusionary. Schostak argues that this has been recently demonstrated in the experience of the Gulf War, but that it is equally visible in the attacks on social welfare and education in both the US and Europe.
