Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a critical social issue that was only beginning to be understood in the early 20th century: feeblemindedness. The author, drawing on extensive research conducted at the Vineland Training School, challenges the prevailing assumption that individuals labeled as "criminals," "paupers," or "alcoholics" are simply irresponsible or lacking in willpower. Instead, the book argues that a significant portion of these individuals suffer from a lack of intelligence that renders them incapable of functioning effectively in society. The book introduces the concept of the "moron," a person with a mental age between 7 and 12, who may appear outwardly normal but lacks the intellectual capacity to navigate complex social situations. The author explores how feeblemindedness plays a role in various social problems, including crime, alcoholism, prostitution, and pauperism. Drawing upon data collected from institutions for delinquents and almshouses, the author demonstrates the correlation between feeblemindedness and these societal ills. The book also presents a compelling case for the hereditary nature of feeblemindedness and examines its inheritance patterns in light of the groundbreaking work of Gregor Mendel on genetics. Through detailed case studies and meticulous data analysis, the book challenges prevailing notions of responsibility and sheds light on the complexities of human intelligence. This powerful investigation into the causes and consequences of feeblemindedness provides a vital perspective on the social problems of its time and offers insights that remain relevant even today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330361856_0
