Constructing Global ‘Wars Without End’
My purpose in this paper is to link the larger social context that structurally necessitates „wars without end” perpetrated by the U.S. elite with the rhetoric that legitimizes them so as to sociologically situate the rhetoric, the vocabularies of motive within a historically formed war-centric social structure that reveals an easily discernible pattern in the use of language. I consider Franklin D. Roosevelt’s speech of December 8, 1941 announci…
The Sexuality Transition
In the past five decades the norms of U.S. society have undergone vast changes in the area of premarital sexual permissiveness. As one indicator of attitudinal shift through objectively produced cu
Manipulation and the Social Destruction of Humanity
This article argues that rapid social change inherent in a capitalist mode of production deprives the mass of people of a harmony of habitus, culture formation and meaningful sociation.

In order to ensure meaningful coll…

After an initial period of “liberation,” physical deprivation leads the homeless to seek institutionalized help. The “homeless” category constructed by the shelter industry absolves the system of blame and obfuscates the systemic roots of homelessness. In their picking and dropping of…
Capitalism's social graveyard
The present essay explores the biographical effects of a capitalist social structure and its implications for human sociation, consciousness and ‘belonging’. A rapidly changing economic structure built as a house of cards for the purpose of accumulation by the few eventually leads to human relationships built on foundations of sand and through social selection to the ‘survival of the ficklest’. Through a ‘politics of consumption’, the bourgeoisie…
