    IS FINNISH EDUCATIONAL SUPERIORITY DUE TO MORE TRUTH?

    —“The U.S. and Finland both lean heavily towards the truth and directness, but what constitutes truth and directness varies greatly across cultures. Whereas Americans are comfortable taking liberty with the truth when it comes to marketing, selling and getting the business, to a Finn it can sound like lies. You see, the Finns believe that their words are their commitments. They establish their credibility by understating their abilities, and delivering what they promise. Period.

    As Stuart’s examples illustrate, it is easy for people with the best of intentions to still be misunderstood — and even branded as liars. When we don’t know a person’s beliefs, values and biases, how can we be certain that what we heard was what they meant? However, one thing is certain; the more we understand how culture influences behavior in business dealings, the less inclined we are to assume we’re being deceived.”—

    Does residential sorting explain geographic polarization?

    Abstract

    Political preferences in the United States are highly correlated with population density, at national, state, and metropolitan-area scales. Using new data from voter registration records, we assess the extent to which this pattern can be explained by geographic mobility. We find that the revealed preferences of voters who move from one residence to another correlate with partisan affiliation, though voters appear to be sorting on non-political neighborhood attributes that covary with partisan preferences rather than explicitly seeking politically congruent neighbors. But, critically, we demonstrate through a simulation study that the estimated partisan bias in moving choices is on the order of five times too small to sustain the current geographic polarization of preferences. We conclude that location must have some influence on political preference, rather than the other way around, and provide evidence in support of this theory.

  • The History of Extrajudicial Punishment

    October 23rd, 2018 2:57 PM THE HISTORY OF EXTRAJUDICIAL PUNISHMENT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching#History The French Revolution Popularized The Practice (Really)

    —“Every society has had forms of extrajudicial punishments, including murder. The legal and cultural antecedents of American lynching were carried across the Atlantic by migrants from the British Isles to colonial North America. Collective violence was a familiar aspect of the early modern Anglo-American legal landscape. Group violence in the British Atlantic was usually nonlethal in intention and result. In the seventeenth century, in the context of political turmoil in England and unsettled social and political conditions in the American colonies, there arose rebellions and riots that took multiple lives.”—

    In Anglo Saxon Culture, The MILITIA solved problems of enemies of the people. Judicial Resolution of disputes was meant to resolve conflicts between members of the polity in order to prevent retaliation cycles (feuds). The “Politicization” of extra-judicial punishment was a product of the French Revolution and then spread to the Antebellum era in the states.
