From the Pulitzer Prize-winning culture critic for Time magazine comes the tremendously controversial, yet highly persuasive, argument that our devotion to the largely unexamined myth of egalitarianism lies at the heart of the ongoing "dumbing of America."

Americans have always stubbornly clung to the myth of egalitarianism, of the supremacy of the individual average man. But here, at long last, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic William A. Henry III takes on, and debunks, some basic, fundamentally ingrained ideas: that everyone is pretty much alike (and should be); that self-fulfillment is more imortant thant objective achievement; that everyone has something significant to contribute; that all cultures offer something equally worthwhile; that a truly just society would automatically produce equal success results across lines of race, class, and gender; and that the common man is almost always right. Henry makes clear, in a book full of vivid examples and unflinching opinions, that while these notions are seductively democratic they are also hopelessly wrong.

Every culture is good enough for those who live in that culture. However, are there any culture that is somewhat better than others? Yes, there is. Henry, III listed 7 criteria for a superior culture. One does not have to agree with him in every way. But ...

W.H.应该是吵架高手……例子旧了些,放在今天能至少扩充一倍。人人都可以出风头,可惜现在成百上千的人把这看作是与生俱来的权利
