“Si no los comiéramos, no existirían”. Las implicaciones del problema de la no identidad para los animales (incluidos los humanos)
El problema de la no identidad genera el interrogante de si un acto que es necesario para que una persona llegue a existir puede a la vez dañarla. Por ejemplo, de acuerdo con la lógica de la no identidad, los descendientes de las víctimas de injusticias históricas como la esclavitud y el Holocausto no pueden quejarse de esas injusticias porque esos terribles eventos hicieron posible su propia existencia. Si una persona tiene una vida que vale la …
Examining Perceptions of Uncertain Language in Potential E-Cigarette Warning Labels
E-cigarette use among youth presents a public health risk. Yet, cigarette smokers who substantially reduce their smoking or switch completely from traditional combustible cigarettes could benefit. As science about e-cigarettes is continually emerging, any potential warnings are likely to contain uncertain language. Hedged verbiage may impact decision making. To assess reactions, we conducted 16 online focus groups; 8 with youth (n = 32, grouped b…
Managing a policy paradox? Responses to textual warning labels on E-cigarette advertisements among U.S. national samples of youth overall and adults who smoke or vape
Testing the effects of certain versus hypothetical language in health risk messages
This paper tests how the certainty or hypotheticality conveyed through language can be harnessed to enhance the effectiveness of targeted messaging about health risks. We conducted two experiments with adult smokers ( n = 317) and middle school youth ( n = 321) from low-income communities in the context of pictorial cigarette warning labels. We manipulated hypotheticality of risk through verb modality: 1. non-modal (present tense, e.g., smoking c…
Testing competing explanations for graphic warning label effects among adult smokers and non-smoking youth
The Senators’ Letter to Iran and Domestic Incorporation of International Law
Strange Bedfellows
Since the 1980s, social movement scholars have investigated the dynamic of movement/countermovement interaction. Most of these studies posit movements as initiators, with countermovements reacting to their challenges. Yet sometimes a movement supports an agenda in response to a countermovement that engages in what we call “anticipatory countermobilization.” We interviewed ten leading LGBT activists to explore the hypothesis that the LGBT movement…

Our Undemocratic Constitution
The Detention and Trial of Enemy Combatants
Within a week of the attacks of 11 September 2001, the United States Congress authorized the President to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks... Although this Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) was not literally a declaration of war, President George W. Bush interpreted it as activating his full wartime po…
Culture Wars in the Nation's Attic
The Smithsonian Institution is the world's largest museum and research complex, encompassing 18 museums and galleries, along with the National Zoo and nine research centres. Despite statements from friendly chroniclers that the Smithsonian Institution has always been relatively free of political pressures, and the Smithsonian's own statement that it was an independent federal establishment, politics has always been a consideration in the Smithson…
The Orwellian Military Commissions Act of 2006
In three decisions in 2004 and 2006, the Supreme Court of the United States rejected the sweeping claims by President Bush that his role as Commander in Chief entitled him to detain persons indefinitely and, if he chose, to subject them to war crimes trials before military commissions that did not have all of the procedural protections of courts martial. The Court's rulings, however, left open the possibility that, notwithstanding the treaty obli…
