Why Is It So Hard: Becoming A People Person in the Post COVID-19 Era

by Ervin (Earl) Cobb, Charlotte Grant-Cobb

Overview

A Kinder and More Humane Society Starts With Kinder People.

"In an amazingly concise and powerful book, the Cobbs use an approach, which integrates photographic images and the most relevant literary work of others, to connect 'thought with feelings', while untangling and examining the complexities and interrelatedness of societal unity, humanity, diversity and the invasiveness of societal influences in America today."

In the new book, Earl and Charlotte introduce and cross-examine a set of societal influences or Framing Factors, which have a significant influence in the daily lives of Americans. The anti-humanitarian effects of several of these Framing Factors were amplified during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to exist at an elevated level today. The Framing Factors are:

• The Influence of The Human Mind
• The Influence of Selfishness
• The Influence of Apathy and Indifference
• The Influence of The Less Educated
• The Influence of Social Media and Mass Misinformation
• The Influence of Conspiracy Theories
• The Influence of Partisan Politics
• The Influence of Wealth and Power
• The Influence of Religious Hypocrisy

The Cobbs deliver a rich and unbiased analysis of the "impacts" these influences have on humanity and kindness within the United States. Common-sense approaches to countering the impacts are proposed as starting points, for those interested in taking on the challenge of becoming a true, people person.
