Ascension Level Up!

What The Different Waves Experience

by Vera Ingeborg,

Note: By no means does this blog intend to put stamps or labels onto people and put some

people over others.

No one is better or worse, as we are all part of the whole.

The categorization used in this article is only there to help understanding symptoms

and the awakening and ascension process better.

The transitions between the waves are fluent.

After we had just experienced some seemingly lasting peace and balance, we are now pushed

into the next phase of awakening and ascension heading into the Solstice Gateway that has

opened already.

It can feel like being back to square one.

Deep grief is triggered to the surface, which is especially related to people that are dear

to us and we need to let go of for now as they are not able to hold our frequency yet.

And this causes a sensation, as if none of the work done had had a lasting effect.

Of course.

that is not the case.

We are simply moving through the next level into the next layers.

It can be compared to a computer game.

Once you have mastered one level, then you are re-playing it with a higher degree of

challenges.

You had to train and prepare mentally, emotionally and physically to be able to reach that next

phase.

Again, although many are tired of the term� it is a blessing in disguise.

More than ever, it is important to trust the energies and the universal flow, knowing that

nothing is as it seems to be on the surface.

We have entered another intense energetic gateway to not only receive a lot of new information

and upgrades but also enter the next level of detachment and letting go.

The individual processes differ � depending what Ascension Wave people are in (see this

article for more info on the ascension waves).

The first movers have now entered the phase of embodiment, mainly dealing with the physical

body.

The early adopters are now getting into their core fears to finalize the cleansing of their

emotional bodies.

The early majority is still flip flopping between mental spirals and emotional breakouts,

without really understanding what is going on and why they are so sensitive to all these

energies around them all of a sudden.

The question of �Who am I, and why am I here?� is keeping them busy, paired with

the sense of �something is wrong here�.

The late majority and the non-adaptors are still asleep and are not even realizing that

this energetic shift on the planet is going on.

I will split the current symptoms and experiences into the different waves for a better understanding

why not everyone is experiencing the same things at the same time.

First Movers / Innovators

In the first four months of the year, the first movers had managed to dissolve their

last core fears that were still stored in their emotional bodies.

The emotional and mental bodies of this wave are now shiny and clean.

Nothing and no-one can trigger them anymore, as there are no fear-frequencies left that

people could resonate in them.

The first movers are now fully ready to assist people with biggest trauma and pain, as it

will not drain them anymore.

They can only feel compassion as they passively remember how this once felt, but they cannot

actively recall the pain.

They cannot suffer with people.

Being anchored in this neutral zone automatically has the same effect with everything that goes

on in 3D.

The first movers have completely left the old 3D timeline and are no longer able to

relate to any of the drama and chaos going on in the 3D reality.

They cannot even receive and take in this information anymore.

Reading a newspaper article on Brexit or the situation in the US feels like reading a text

in Swahili.

Like a radio station that you are too far away from and can no longer tune into.

All of this is perceived as an unreal and fake hologram � a system that keeps itself

busy and distracted without making any sense from a higher perspective.

First movers are living completely in the now and a heart centered and heart led life.

They have logged out of the system as far as possible, not having any obligations or

dependencies.

The mind�s only function now is to set intentions.

Although the feminine and masculine energies are well balanced now within the individuals

of this ascension wave, there is an extremely large proportion of those that were the carriers

of more feminine energy (not gender related).

So even this wave, so well balanced now on the energetic level, still has to deal with

the physical balancing � most of the time without having a divine partner around.

On a physical level, that can still cause a feeling of loneliness � as most of the

counterparts are still part of the early and sometimes even late majority wave (energetically

speaking, for more info read more here).

After a couple of weeks of relief and feeling pretty balanced and centered, this wave has

now entered the period of embodiment and physical release.

And that is very logical as the physical energetic body is the densest of all of them.

Now that the other energetic bodies around it are clean, the road is clear for the cellular

releases of deep trauma that was stored into the physical body when the emotional body

was overloaded.

And that lead to some surprises within the past weeks.

After an accelerated time, now everything seems to move very slowly.

All of a sudden thought spirals and emotional breakouts were back, and yet it felt different.

Deeper.

Older.

Repeating the past somehow but also somehow unreal.

This is how cellular memory releases feel like.

As the body pushes them out, they take form in worries and doubts and nothing seems to

work to stop the mind.

And you can�t.

It is simply an expression of energy in the mental body.

Like a projector in the movie theatre playing that movie for the last time.

In a second wave of release, the emotional body is doing the same thing, expressing this

memory in emotions.

Deep grief, anger, disappointment are expressed for the last time.

The last wave of release is the physical body either shaking it out through muscle twitches,

or an overwhelming longing to have deep tissue massages or similar will assist the physical

body to let it go.

This can take several rounds and will result in an absolutely healthy, self-sustainable

and well-balanced physical body, aligned with and in perfect harmony with all other energetic

bodies.

So it is very important to listen closely to the needs of the physical body.

It is a time of deep resting and integrating with an intense need for sleep (although sleep

often does not feel like sleep anymore but more like a resting while being awake).

These cellular releases are happening in parallel to major DNA upgrades, which adds into the

physical stress.

Despite all of this, the first movers manage to stay pretty calm and just embrace and accept

what is, with the deep knowing that this is the next level.

In between the physical releases, they are well-balanced and neither unhealthy and extreme

bliss waves nor despair waves are experienced anymore.

They have let go of any need of control and are fully trusting the flow and live according

to the universal energetic laws.

Early Adopters

This ascension waves is now truly getting to the core of their fear.

They are triggered and people push their buttons, until they truly surrender to let go.

Dealing with the core wound is the deepest emotional pain imaginable.

The release is no fun, and has to be done in waves, because letting it go at once would

be too much for the own system to deal with.

So, although it seems relentless, this is the sign that you are indeed reaching the

core and are almost done with cleansing your emotional body.

Death wish is quite common in this wave right now

People of the early adopter wave still tend to drop back into the human perspective and

into victim consciousness, trying to figure out what is going on with their mind.

Those are the last attempts of the ego to get back into the lead and to distract you

from staying in your authenticity and heart center � where you are connected to Source

and all that is.

There is still mistrust in the process left and a need to control things to reach a certain

outcome.

Members of this wave can still feel very drained by other people, especially when they work

as coaches and/or therapists, as they are still resonating parts in them that are related

to the core fear.

This will stop immediately after the core fear has been completely transformed.

The inner child plays the key role in this healing and it needs full attention and compassion

to understand what is truly needed now.

Early adopters still tend to get caught up in the drama that goes on on this planet.

Terrorist attacks, wars, political events, stock market developments etc. are still causing

worries, anxieties and fears.

They often fall back into the pattern of trying to solve things on the outside, forgetting

in those moments, that the only way to change things in to go within and change oneself.

That is the only way to shift into a different reality in a different frequency.

Early adopters are permanently switching between 3D, 4D and 5D frequencies, as they are mentally

and emotionally not able yet to fully anchor in 5D.

They are switching between heart and mind.

The result are intense bliss waves followed by deep pain again.

All of this is part of the final balancing of masculine and feminine energies within.

Also in this wave, there is a larger proportion of the carriers of the more feminine energy

(not gender related), but often, divine counterparts (energetically, not physically) are part of

the same wave.

This wave is also receiving physical / DNA upgrades and has also to deal with physical

ailments.

These are not related to cellular releases though.

Partially these are ascension symptoms, partially it is the physical body supporting to push

the rest of the core fear out of the emotional body, preparing for cellular releases once

completed.

Early Majority

The early majority had been triggered into their awakening process by all the chaos happening

on the planet right now.

This feeling of � something is very wrong here, and there must be a different way to

live became more and more present over the last months.

The longing for a different life and for true freedom was awakened and yet the members of

this wave still have a hard time to accept this inner soul calling.

They are still trying to talk themselves into �no, everything is great, and I should be

happy with what I got�.

Nevertheless, they get triggered every time they interact with people from the first mover

and early adopter wave, as those are mirroring back to them their true desires and wishes:

Being authentic and free, not having to live up to others expectations anymore.

They feel inspired and annoyed at the same time, as the comfort zone had become so dear

to them.

And yet they somehow know deep down inside that they are lying to themselves and that

this is not the life they want.

With every trigger, they feel more uncomfortable.

That can result in anger, frustration, disappointment with self and others.

All of these are signs that the ultimate grief of not being able to be their true self in

their momentary world and reality is surfacing.

At the moment, they are still suppressing most of it.

Change is always very scary when you still have expectations for a certain outcome and

the need to control things.

Nevertheless, their souls keep pushing now and they have these moments of being in the

heart, getting first glimpses of what living a heart-centered life truly means and how

beautiful it feels to be completely in the moment and in the flow.

The question of �Who am I and what is my purpose� keeps them busy.

They are getting more sensitive to the energies around them as well and experience some ascension

symptoms for the first time and some �paranormal� experiences, such as astral travels, out of

body experiences, intense deja vus etc. are common.

They need more alone time, and many are entering their dark night of the soul, not seeing any

sense in living anymore.

The balancing of masculine and feminine energies has just started in this wave.

Depending on whether carrying more feminine or more masculine energies, the processes

differ.

The one�s with more feminine energies have been experiencing more emotional cleansing

first, while the one�s with more masculine energy had gone through more thought based

and mental spiralling.

This starts to flip around now, which leads to a lot of uncomfortableness and fear of

the fear.

The Late Majority, the Laggards and the �Non-Adaptors�

Nothing has changed for the Late Majority, Laggards and Non-Adaptors since the last article.

So I am just copying what was written back then:

These groups are just wondering about all this chaos on the planet and are trying to

solve it for themselves by going into the usual and well-known fear patterns and relying

on the beliefs they have learned.

These groups are presently still completely asleep and still experience their reality

from a fear based ego perspective.

They are in competition mode and believe in the theory of the �Survival of the Fittest�.

Spirituality to them is absolutely bollocks and people experiencing this need a medical

treatment in their view.

They can only see and feel the human drama and are either going into victim or perpetrator

mode.They interpret, they judge, they blame.

For them, the world is a dark place where everyone is on their own and needs to fight

hard for their existence.

There is only fear and lack frequencies with rare moments of joy.

The ego is in the lead and keeps them in the past or in the future, constantly projecting

things that are not real.

Their energetic system is completely closed including the heart center, so there is no

way they can feel the new energies and the unconditional love that comes with them.

They are absolutely convinced that the matrix they are living in is the only reality.

Nevertheless, they experience the increase in energies physically.

They also have to deal with physical symptoms and headaches.

Depending on the stamina of their physical body, heart attacks, strokes, cancer etc.

can show up quickly and unexpectedly, as the physical body is not able to deal with these

frequencies very well.

Many of these souls have chosen to not make the transition into the fifth dimension while

being alive.

It is so important to recognize, that neither is better or worse or further advanced or

lagging behind.

We are simply at different stages energetically but we are all part of a bigger organism.

And everyone is important and has an individual task in the overall system.

Once we realize that linear time is an illusion itself, non of these labels or categories

matter anymore.

We have all made our choice what we want to experience and how, and we are always responsible

for our own reality.

We create our own reality with our energetic frequency we are emitting �

this

is what we resonate with while moving through our experience called life.

Merkel attacks Trump for focusing on 'winners and losers' - Duration: 2:14.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel sharply criticized U.S. policy under President Donald Trump on

Wednesday, two days before they are due to meet at the G20 summit, for being based on

a 'winners and losers' view of the world rather than on cooperation.

Merkel will host the two-day meeting of G20 leaders that starts on Friday in Hamburg.

Along with Trump, others attending include Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkey's

Tayyip Erdogan.

The talks are expected to be tricky as the agenda includes divisive issues such as free

trade and climate change.

'As G20 president, it is my job to work on possibilities for agreement and not to contribute

to a situation where a lack of communication prevails,' she told Die Zeit weekly.

However, she added that differences should not be pushed under the table.

'While we are looking at the possibilities of cooperation to benefit everyone, globalisation

is seen by the American administration more as a process that is not about a win-win situation

but about winners and losers,' she said.

She said comments from a Trump security adviser that the world was an arena, not a global

community, contradicted her views.

Germany wants everyone to benefit from economic progress rather than only a few, she said.

Europe must pool its energy, she said, adding that ideas of an economic government for the

euro zone and of a European finance minister, put forward by new French President Emmanuel

Macron, were 'two important thoughts'.

Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to march in the city this week against globalization

and what they say is corporate greed and a failure to tackle climate change.

Merkel said she respected peaceful demonstrators in Hamburg but 'anyone who gets violent spurns

democracy'.

German police used water cannon to disperse around 500 anti-capitalist protesters overnight

in Hamburg.

2017 NASPA Annual Conference SA Speaks - Sonja Ardoin (FULL HD) - Duration: 13:08.

(silence)

The first thing I wanna do, is say thank you.

Thank you for showing up at NASPA.

Thank you for showing up in this room.

Thank you for being who you are.

That's what I first wanna,

to impart is thank you.

Now, I wanna ask you a question.

How many of you have ever said to someone,

"I need you to have some class,

be classy, or act professional"?

Raise your hand, raise your hand, own it.

Own your behavior.

I've done it, too, right.

Now I want you to think to yourself,

has anybody ever said that to me?

Has anybody ever said to me, "You need to have some class,

"act classy or be professional"?

Yeah, I hear some yeah, yeah.

You can own, yeah, me, right here.

And I want you to think about how did that make you feel?

In that moment, how did that make you feel?

Maybe it was a gut check for you,

and you were like, they might be right.

Or maybe you were like, "How dare you say that to me."

And I want that to be a starter question for us.

To think about how, sometimes,

we are on both sides of that conversation.

Personally, I have been on both sides of that conversation.

I have had multiple people tell me to have class,

be classy, or act professional.

I have, at times, said that to other people as well.

That makes me uncomfortable.

Both sides of that conversation make me very uncomfortable.

So, I wanna use my time today to talk about

why that makes me uncomfortable.

And what that means and how that relates to

a component of my class identity.

Before I start talking about class identity,

I want to own that class is just one component

of our identity.

And that component, is influenced by and influences

every other dimension of our identity.

So when I speak about being working-class,

and from a poor and working-class background,

I do that as somebody who's also white,

who's also straight,

who's also temporarily able-bodied

who's also identifies as a cisgender woman,

who's a Cajun, who's a Catholic.

I speak about it from that lens,

knowing that my experience of being poor and working-class,

in my background, is different than maybe your experience

if you also identify that way.

Owning that is a component of my identity,

but it's influenced by a lot of other things as well.

I also want to talk about class.

To use a phrase that my colleague, fellow scholar,

and friend, Becky Martinez says is, "Let's talk class."

She says that because we don't often talk about it

in higher ed.

Now, we're talking about it more.

We're seeing that more in higher ed,

but we're seeing it from, a lot of times,

from coded language.

So, we don't talk necessarily about

poor and working-class students,

or poor and working-class professionals.

We talk about first-gen students.

We talk about Pell eligible students.

We talk about open access.

We talk about selective.

We talk about need based aid versus merit based aid.

We use all that coded language

because we have been socialized from when we're very little

to believe that we don't talk about money,

and we don't talk about class.

That is a taboo topic in a lot of spaces.

That is a challenge because my class identity

is a huge part of who I am.

If I can't talk about that, I can't be all of who I am.

I can't share all of my experiences,

my knowledge,

my skill set because I can't bring

all of who I am to that experience.

So, I'm going to ask us

to think a little bit about it today.

I want us to be on the same page

about what class identity is.

A lot of times, we associate class identity with money.

Raise your hand for me, if that is,

your often your most association,

is class identity and financial capital or money.

A lot of times that is our immediate association,

which is great, it's fine,

that is part of the definition.

So, money or wealth,

so it might be how much is in your bank account,

how much is in your paycheck,

if you own a car,

if you own a house.

So, it's having us think about those things,

and that's important,

and, it's not the entire definition of class identity.

It is a partial definition.

So, I would like us to expand our thinking

in higher education

around the definitions of class identity.

Fixing students or our own money problems

doesn't fix all of our class problems.

We can throw money all day at things,

but that doesn't necessarily always alleviate

or make it easier to retain students,

or to fix our own kind of situations.

Rather, I would offer Tara Yosso's model

of community cultural wealth.

You can google it and find the entire model,

and the entire article,

but essentially what Yosso talks about

is that we have all kinds of capital

as part of our class identity.

Yes, the financial capital is there,

but we also have to think about our cultural capital.

How do we dress?

What do our teeth look like?

What do our shoes look like?

Where have we been?

Are we able to go on vacation?

If we are, is it to a museum?

Or is it to the middle of nowhere,

which is where I went on vacation,

places like Hot Springs, Arkansas.

What does that look like for us?

Our linguistic capital.

When I turn on my accent, in Boston, Massachusetts,

people make assumptions about me.

About that I'm Southern,

what that means,

what does that look like?

So, that linguistic capital is important.

Navigational capital.

Do we know how to navigate the systems that we are in?

As a first-gen student,

who now has a Ph.D., I hold both of those together,

and I have to think about

the academy will always feel a little bit off for me,

because I don't have the same kind of navigational capital

that maybe some of my colleagues

who grew up middle-class or upper-class

have that kind of navigational capital.

Also, resistant capital.

That means, can we look at a system, right,

from the class lens and say, "This shit is bad,"

and think about can I, do I have enough kind of gusto

to say, "This system is bad,

"and how can we work towards fixing it."

So, having that resistant capital as well.

We all have varying kinds of capital.

That doesn't mean it's always valued.

I have a lot of social capital.

I know a lot of crawfish farmers.

I know a lot of people who work on offshore oil rigs,

the academy doesn't care.

They don't care that I know those people.

That is not valuable in that context.

So, I would offer us to think about

are we sometimes looking at things from a deficit lens,

and looking at ourselves from a deficit lens

versus saying we have all kinds of capitals

and how do we value them,

and how do we harness them

to make the higher education environment better.

Alfred Lubrano gives us a definition of class,

talking about class as a script, a map,

or a guide.

Something that really influences how we dress,

how we eat,

how we talk,

how we, essentially, hold ourselves.

His definition really resonates with me.

I read the book,

Limbo: Blue-Collar Roots, White-Collar Dreams

on the way to NASPA three years ago.

It was really an aha moment for me

because it gave me a different lens and construct

to view some really hard challenges

I was having in my professional career.

I thought it's about being a woman,

or it's about being first-gen,

and when I read the book,

I was like, "Damn. This is the answer."

It's about class identity.

So, that book was really a aha moment for me,

and it really brought me down this path of exploring

class identity and being okay saying,

"Yes, I grew up poor and working-class."

People make a lot of assumptions about class identity.

When I walk down the street

or walk around NASPA dressed like this,

people make assumptions about how I drew up potentially

or how I currently identify my class.

People don't know that I'm a first-gen student necessarily,

maybe they do.

They don't know that it's a challenge for me

to bring people to my parent's home

because part of the floor is missing.

They don't know that when I was a little kid,

we went to the grocery store,

we only had $20 and that was it.

I had to do the math, figure out how we were gonna eat.

We make all these assumptions

about people's class identity

because we don't ask the right questions.

Or we don't want to listen to their story.

In higher education, I think a lot of times we view

our field as a way of social mobility.

I would argue, sometimes, it's just a further

entrenchment of social stratification.

We use Carnegie classifications,

we use US News and World Report rankings,

we use hiring practices,

admissions philosophies to further entrench the status quo

in a lot of cases.

I would ask us to examine those and think

are we really helping social mobility or

are we just further entrenching the status quo that exists?

Personally, right now, I identify as a class straddler.

If you've ever been on a state line,

for those of you from the South,

there's a place called Flora-Bama

between Florida and Alabama, it's a bar,

and if you straddle the state line,

you're like, "I'm in Alabama, I'm in Florida,

"I'm in Alabama, I'm in Florida."

That's how I feel about class identity.

Some of me is poor and working-class,

some of me is middle- to upper-class.

I go back and forth, and back and forth.

What that means for me is that I feel like I fit in

both places and neither place.

I can talk my hometown talk, and that's part of me,

I can talk the academy talk, and that's part of me,

but neither fits 100%.

I will never feel like I fit in either one fully,

and I can play in both spaces.

So, that's both a privilege

and a disadvantage in some respects.

I would offer you to think about

what does that mean for your colleagues,

what does that mean for students,

as we kind of have to code switch

and play between two different environments.

My family never will fully understand what I do.

It's also very saddening to me that sometimes

my parents will say, "I don't want to come to an event

on campus," when they're visiting,

because they say you're gonna be,

I'm gonna make you embarrassed.

That's really hard because they know

it's a different construct

than one that they can easily operate in

and they don't want to make me look bad,

because they know that I'm operating in a different game.

That's challenging 'cuz I want them to come,

and I want them to see,

and I want them to experience,

and sometimes that's really hard.

This term professionalism, I think,

is a way in higher ed,

we discredit, degrade,

folks who identify as poor and working-class.

We identify for them how they can dress,

how they can talk,

what they should eat,

what they should drink at a happy hour,

and all of these different constructs.

It doesn't really resonate with me very well,

but I think this article from everyday feminism in 2015,

really speaks to it.

The article talks about how professionalism

is a social construct.

We made it up.

Yet, we're all trying to follow this script that

it's not made for all of us.

I spoke this morning in a session, I said,

"You know, a lot of times people tell me that my

"four-letter words that I like to use";

shit is one of my favorite words, by the way,

"that the four-letter word I use makes me unprofessional."

There are some colleagues I have on the faculty members,

there are some colleagues I have that use what I call

"hundred dollar words" when they don't need to.

So, when you talk to me about epistemological stance,

and you know, any other kind of phrase you want to use

that I call a hundred dollar word

when a ten dollar word would do,

why can you use that and I can't use my four-letter word?

Because we're valuing the upper- and middle-class

in kind of academic capital,

and we're not valuing my experience,

and how I get my point across.

It also talks about, that

professionalism is really about straight, white maleness,

and affluence above everything else.

So, we are trying to conform to something

that may not fit for us,

and we may not want to fit into.

When we think about class, I can be blunt.

I like four-letter words,

and I will pick a beer in a koozie any day over wine.

(audience applauds)

It's true, it's true.

I gave up beer for Lent though,

so if you see me later with a drink,

it's 'cuz I gave up beer for Lent.

The academy, I find a lot of challenges in my workplace,

because of these things.

I'm not willing to give up these things

to be successful in the academy,

because that's not who I am.

If I can't be who I am,

and that's a privilege to be able to do that.

If I can't be who I am in the Academy,

I'm not sure it's the right space for me.

I would argue we have some students,

some staff and some professionals,

and some faculty;

who're gonna leave our space

if we can't think about

how we can include them in this space.

My ask is that we can all think about

how can we let people be who they are

in their class identity in our colleges and universities

so that we can add their value,

add their capitals,

and celebrate all of our identity.

Thank you.

Well, not that much right ?

Yeah, that must be a peculiarly painfull death indeed

And yet doing that to others it's one of human's favorite sports

But isn't that a little strange to believe that doing that to others is normal ?

North Korea is likely to conduct another nuclear test soon.

That's according to the South's defense chief Han Min-koo.

During Wednesday's parliamentary briefing... he said..., while there is no way to confirm

it,... such a move is in line with the regime's ambition of becoming a nuclear power.

The minister added though no unusual activities have been detected, Pyongyang remains on a

footing where it can test a nuclear device at any given moment.

The reclusive state has a track record of conducting nuke tests after missile launches.

Han explained the North's capability to miniaturize a warhead may have reached a "considerable"

level.

Transhumanism(s) (ft. Alexandre Maurer) - Duration: 4:52.

Transhumanism is

the idea of using technology

to enhance our body and our mind

for people who want it

For instance, we could slow down aging

or even reverse it

and live in good health for several centuries

we could increase our cognitive abilities

and our creativity

we could develop new senses

or devices to communicate directly by thought

the possibilities are really countless

This is Alexandre Maurer, a postdoctoral researcher of the IC School at EPFL

Alexandre is also spokesperson of the French Transhumanist Association

the goal is not to say that this will happen

and we just have to sit back and look

the idea of transhumanism is to say

that there could be a lot of positive things in such evolution

there could also be risks that must be taken into account

but overall it is a formidable opportunity

to increase what makes life interesting

now, one thing I discovered while talking with Alexandre

is that there's actually not one single transhumanist ideology

there are 2 main branches of transhumanism

the first one is more American and libertarian

and demands mostly

the individual freedom to enhance ourselves

which is not always the case today

So basically, libertarian transhumanism is about authorizing transhumanist technologies

One of the first transhumanist movements

was called the Extropian

by opposition to entropy

it's about kind of reversing entropy, philosophically speaking

which was mostly Californian and libertarian

that's why many people associate transhumanism

with the right to transcend humanity

which sounds like it could only benefit a handful of rich technocrats

But the social wing of transhumanism has been developing a lot

during the previous years

I cannot say for sure

According to a poll done by the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies

at least half of people that consider themselves as transhumanists

even more than half actually

are closer to the more social branch of transhumanism

what changed?

what led to a more social transhumanism?

Maybe at the beginning, transhumanism was more something for rich people

for people that can afford it, that have enough money to enhance themselves

But now it's more and more becoming

something that interests the middle class

every day people

even people that are not in techs

that can have very diverse jobs

I think transhumanism is democractizing

That's why there are more social demands

related to transhumanism

So libertarian transhumanism is about demanding total freedom

what are the demands of social transhumanists?

Things like an equal access to the technologies of transhumanism

public research funding in domains such as life extension

and a form of redistribution of the benefits of automation

this branch of transhumanism is called techno-progressivism

and it is represented by organizaitons such as

the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies

or the French Transhumanist Association Technoprog

This movement is thus more about using technology to improve all of society

and designing laws that take into account

the widespread use of these new technologies

and over the years, it has become a widespread international movement

In Swiss, there are movements like Neo Humanitas

which is not really transhumanism but is interested by these questions

in England, you have London Futurists

Two very big international transhumanist associations are Humanity+

which is a kind of federation of all transhumanist associations

Its previous name was the World Transhumanist Association

And also the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies

which is more of this branch I called techno-progressivism

Use technology to stop aging

erase all mental and physical disabilities

and reach true social and political equality

According to a study of the university of Oxford

up to 85% of current jobs could disappear

in the next decades

MOOC WHAW1.2x | 15.1.2 Women's Experience in World War II - Duration: 2:25.

- Equally good historians often disagree.

That's one of the mottos that historians tell each other

when they have differing interpretations of the same event,

and when we get to World War II,

that saying gives us comfort.

One interpretation of women's experience in the war

argues that women eagerly moved into well-paying jobs

when the war broke out.

They took advantage of the absence of men

who'd been drafted into the military services

and under cover of a patriotic spirit,

they broke long-standing barriers

against occupational segregation.

The war, say these historians,

made such extraordinary demands of men and women

that it altered everyone's expectations

of what women could and should do.

Women would never be the same again.

A second interpretation is far more cautious.

Though women served their country well,

argues another group of historians,

they were constrained by continuing discrimination

and by a pattern of sex segregation that hardly budged.

They also faced fierce pro-family propaganda

from the federal government and government agencies.

At war's end, women returned with relief to their homes.

The changes that came about during the war were ephemeral.

They didn't last.

The truth might lie somewhere in between,

but it's more likely that both scenarios

are true for different women.

World War II may well have been the source

of a dramatic change in some women's perceptions

of themselves and their family roles.

For others, the war was a blip in their experience,

a moment that would end when the war was over

and the men came back from overseas.

MOOC WHAW1.2x | 19.3.1 Are Women Different Or the Same? | The Road to Democracy - Duration: 0:44.

- The struggle for justice for women

extended into the heart of the family.

At one level it involved women's capacity

to engage in wage work,

but at another, it deeply affected their ability

to establish independent lives

and to maintain their own homes.

Let's turn to Nick Juravich and Suzanne Kahn

to talk about those issues.

-------------------------------------------

MOOC WHAW1.2x | 12.3.4 New Ambitions for Women - Duration: 3:01.

- A generation of women workers who came

of age during the war and in the 1920s began

to imagine themselves doing far more

than their mothers had done.

They still worked in a sex-segregated labor market,

but with a little education and a lot of luck,

they could not only find jobs that would

fend off starvation, they could seek satisfying work.

Their jobs, like men's jobs, might provide access

to some small level of upward mobility.

More and more women discovered in

that decade that they could choose to work.

Women in the manual labor force,

a quarter of all women workers,

or women in domestic service, still 20%

of all women wage-earners at the time,

or women earning a mean living planting

and harvesting products in agricultural labor

or canning produce for the market.

For all these women, aspirations

to mobility could not be very high.

Their aim was to make as much money

as possible during a decade or so

of work and to marry and have children

in the hope that they would not have

to return to wage labor.

Precious few managed that.

But urban educated women began

in the '20s to aspire to something beyond the home.

Those with high school educations

who moved from sales to marketing

or from clerkships to full-fledged secretarial jobs

did not fear hard work or exploitation.

These women could imagine economic independence

with incomes sufficient to live reasonable lives

beyond the constraints of family.

As they did so, identities shifted.

Women joined organizations like the Business

and Professional Women's Clubs

and participated in groups like

The American Association of University Women,

which reflected their interests in independence.

We know one such woman well.

Madam C. J. Walker began her life

making beauty products for others.

She quickly developed her own line

of products for African American women.

Taking advantage of a new market,

she manufactured, sold, and distributed

to become not only a wealthy woman,

but the ideal of the female entrepreneur.

MOOC WHAW1.2x | 13.1.2 Was the Depression a Setback for Women? - Duration: 4:17.

- Was the Depression a setback for women?

In some ways, The Great Depression of the 1930s

nipped women's aspirations in the bud.

Just a decade earlier, young, educated women

had begun to test new forms

of companionate marriage and new sexual relationships.

In the '20s, young women from good families

sought adventure in the workforce.

Women from needy families found job options

that had earlier been closed to them.

Poverty, of course, dogged many women,

especially in rural areas and in the south.

But in an era of influence,

poverty could sometimes find relief

in the periods of paid work

and occasionally relative sufficiency.

But then came the economic depression,

bringing with it depths of misery

across the economic spectrum,

and especially for the poorest people.

Before the stock market crashed in 1929,

women had a pretty good run.

Almost a quarter of all women were in the workforce.

More native born women earned wages

than every before.

Fewer married immigrant women

needed to seek jobs.

Newly arriving immigrants from The West Indies

and Mexico found work in tobacco and food production.

African American families had begun the great migration

to the manufacturing centers of the north

and middle west.

There, women of color still tended to earn wages

in double the numbers of the white population.

And though they still faced

pervasive racial discrimination,

African American women could imagine

shifting out of domestic service jobs,

and they could also imagine

educating daughters for better paying occupations.

By 1930, some of the new opportunities had already vanished.

Within a year of the stock market crash,

industrial production was down by about 17%.

By 1932, just two and a half years after the crash,

it had dropped almost 50%.

By then, bread lines formed in urban areas,

soup kitchens opened,

evictions faced families that could not pay the rent.

Poor weather and bad harvests

drove farmers from the plains

to harvest crops in California.

Every advertised job drew hundreds

of unemployed applicants.

In the face of massive unemployment,

you might expect that women would withdraw

from wage labor and leave the jobs to men.

But that didn't happen.

Why not, is one of the puzzles

of the depression years,

and one of the clues

to how the tension between women's home rules

and their wage-earning lives would evolve.

The depression of the 1930s thus poses

a series of gender questions.

Men could no longer support their families,

how would they measure their manhood?

What would happen if women stepped in

to take over family support?

Would government step in to restore the balance

and maintain family wellbeing?

The depression encouraged policy makers,

trade unions, and women themselves

to face these issues, and in the end,

to solve the puzzle of home and work

in its own way.

MOOC WHAW1.2x | 13.4.5 The Importance of the ADC with Linda Gordon - Duration: 5:58.

- Let's go back to structures and talk about.

So, ADC sets up a structure in which women are

at least theoretically presumed to be able

to stay at home with their children.

Single mothers are presumed to be able

to stay at home with their children.

But, tell us what happens in practice now

in the rest of the '30s and into the '40s.

- It's very important to remember

that the ADC, the program that we call welfare

was part of the Social Security Act

which nowadays, Social Security is the label we give

to only really one of the programs

in the Social Security Act, and that is Old Age Pensions.

ADC was a title of that law.

It was gradually, gradually expanded,

but there were always tensions within it.

First of all, the understanding when ADC was created

was that these women would be essentially clients

of social workers.

And social workers were both going to supervise them

and also help and improve their standards of parenting.

Now, this didn't always happen,

and over time, the caseworkers who handled ADC caseloads

became increasingly confined to just supervising.

That was important because this is one

of the several programs in the Social Security Act

in which first you had to prove that you were poor

in order to get access.

This was what we call means tested.

It means that first you examine whether

the woman had the means to support herself.

The fact that it was means tested meant two things

that are very important here.

One is that people lost all privacy.

They had to expose how much money they had in a bank.

You were not allowed to own a car

because that was a valuable piece of property.

You could not own a house

and collect Aid to Dependent Children.

The second part of the law involved

what I mentioned before and that is morals testing.

You have to prove that you are a fit mother.

You don't have boyfriends.

You don't drink.

You are not lazy.

Your house is neat and clean.

And people were, social workers were expected

to go into those homes and verify

the quality of the housing.

These two stipulations, the means testing

and the morals testing, tended to make

this program very stigmatized.

It was, you might call it even infantilizing program

in which women were not treated

as mistresses of their own destiny, so to speak.

But, as people who were supplicants

and who had to apply.

Very, very different from some of the other programs

like Social Security Old Age Pensions.

- What I'm seeing here is a dramatic increase

in class division because in addition

to the fact that women, poor women,

are treated even more poorly,

I'm imagining a phalanx of social workers

who are rather well-educated, or better-educated

and who are now getting secure jobs

in the federal and state bureaucracies of many kinds

to enforce the rules that are now being applied

to poor women.

So, you're pitting one group of women against another?

- Yes, and you know, every now and then

you would have a social worker who was

very, very sympathetic to clients.

Understood their problems, but a lot of them

either because they began to identify

with the task of showing that some people were unfit,

or because they were required to do that by supervisors.

Took on a role that was adversarial

toward the women who were receiving help.

But, at the same time, if you look at the whole picture

in the Depression, you see that women's

versus men's programs within the federal government

are also becoming much more unequal.

If you take Social Security Old Age Pensions,

the vast majority of women, even women who worked,

were not eligible because they only covered workers

in very large enterprises.

And those enterprises tended to be big factories

or other kinds of mining or things like that

that were very male jobs.

And the programs for women were not an entitlement,

were stigmatized as well as receiving

much lower pensions or stipends.

In fact, over time, from 1935 all the way

until the program was abolished in 1996,

the actual value of the aid that you got

from Aid to Dependent Children went steadily downwards

because there were not increases

that kept up with inflation.

In contrast, again, the program that was designed

with men in mind, had regular cost-of-living

escalator clauses.

So, you have several different kinds of inequalities

built into these programs.

MOOC WHAW1.2x | 15.2.6 Al and Lucy Kolkin's Union Membership Books with Julie Golia - Duration: 2:11.

- We know that Al Kolkin was a member of a trade union,

the International Association of Machinists,

because we have here his membership book.

That would have been typical of the shipfitters,

and welders and so on?

- That's right, for most of the period before the war,

mostly men working there, it was marked primarily

by craft or trade unions.

And so organized based on the particular jobs

that were done at the Navy yard, in this case machinists.

- And when Lucy got a job at the shipyard,

she also joined a union, but it wasn't the same union.

- That's right, we're looking here at the

Industrial Union of Maritime and Shipbuilding

Workers of America.

And then it goes on to say affiliated with

the Congress of Industrial Organizations.

So this is not a job-specific, right,

this is not machinists and boilermakers

and all separated out, this is all the shipbuilders

in one larger union.

- Right, which is probably the union

that the women joined, whereas the men joined the union

that was appropriate to their specific skill.

- Women would not have been welcome in Al's union.

- Exactly right.

So the only other thing to notice here is that

these are membership books, and that every time

a union member pays his or her dues, they get a stamp

indicating that they've actually paid their dues.

Quite different from our deduction, payroll deduction.

- And here we even see her initiation fee was two dollars.

- Was two dollars.

I wonder what she paid,

but it probably wasn't much more than that,

on an annual basis.

MOOC WHAW1.2x | 15.4.1 Masculinity Preserved in the Post-War Years - Duration: 6:14.

- In the face of women's increased activity,

their movement into men's jobs and their honorable service

in the military, men reevaluated their experiences

of masculinity.

They turned briefly from valuing themselves

as providers to valuing themselves as protectors

of home and country.

Men had their own ways of preserving self-esteem.

Here's one of them.

Those who served in the Air Force decorated

their planes with what we call nose-cone art or pinups.

They drew on the planes figures

of scantily-dressed women in sexualized poses.

They named their planes after

their favorite female movie stars

sexualizing military activity and turning bombing raids

into demonstrations of masculine prowess.

Then, there was the question of how men

would function in the home.

After all, men who'd been in the army

for two, three, sometimes four years

returned home to women who had been taking care

of elderly parents and families

and earning a living while their men were gone.

Shortly before the war ended,

the question of whether women

would willingly return home emerged.

As the war drew to an end, most menfolk simply assumed

that women would give up their jobs without resistance.

Rising birthrates, a baby boom that followed

in '47 and '48, '49 and '50 demonstrated

the power of male thinking.

Briefly, at least, women succumbed

to male desire to return women to women's proper place.

There was yet another way in which women

were encouraged to return home.

Their children needed them.

1948 and 1949 witnessed an enormous fear

of juvenile delinquency.

Children left unsupervised during the war

now required parental attention.

Left neglected, they would turn into a lost generation

of children, a criminal generation.

Returning women to the home then meant

keeping the home safe for children

and keeping the community safe as well.

Less apparently, women became convinced

that returning to their proper roles demanded

certain kinds of behavior.

Women's destiny, their roles as feminine icons

were vested in their personas and their personalities

or so they were taught.

Among the architects of this belief system

were Marynia Farnham and Ferdinand Lundberg

who wrote what became a best-selling volume

called Modern Woman: The Lost Sex.

Farnham and Lundberg insisted that dressing seductively

and remaining sexually enticing were part

of retaining happy marriages and self-esteem.

"A woman," they argued, "needed to invest herself

"in her family and her home in all the ways

"that Victorian women had been encouraged to do.

"To redeem womanhood, she would think of herself

"as primarily as a supportive helpmate."

Modern women were supported by psychologists

like Helene Deutsch who argued that

"The psychology of women was such that unless

"they operated in subordinate dependent

"and supportive roles, they were courting

"psychological disaster in the form of neurosis

"or even psychosis."

These attacks on women became part

of the arsenal of masculine restoration

undermining at least some of what women had been able

to accomplish during the war years.

Then, the government stepped in

to provide benefits to men who had served in the military.

Generous veterans benefits, routinely refused

even to women who had served, subsidized home mortgages

with low interest rates and federally guaranteed payments.

Even relatively poor and working-class men

could now afford to house their families

in ways they could never have imagined

during the Great Depression.

The GI Bill provided veterans benefits

for education as well, and many men who had served

in the armed services managed to acquire college education

and vocational training free from tuition

and sometimes with living benefits attached.

Veterans benefits also included healthcare,

not only for wounds and damages

that had occurred during the war,

but for damage that occurred after it.

Veterans benefits offered an American standard of living

to men who had served in the military.

They underwrote homeownership

and sufficient education to garner a job of one's choice.

Because these benefits went to men and not to women,

they enhanced the value of masculinity.

To women, they provided a clear message.

Their wartime service might have been good,

but it was not as valuable as the men

had offered to the country.

MOOC WHAW1.2x | 16.4.1 Shifting Sexual Consciousness | The Woman Citizen in a Cold War World - Duration: 3:01.

- In a world where traditional family values

and restricted home lives seemed the prescription

for a stronger, more united country,

attitudes toward sexuality tightened.

In 1953, Alfred Kinsey published a well-circulated report

on the sexual behavior of women.

There, he noted that many more women than had ever

been imagined had had sexual relations before marriage,

had had sexual relations with people other than

the men who became their husbands,

and had had sexual relations during marriage

with people to whom they were not married.

These unorthodox behaviors contradicted

the traditional attitudes that then limited

women's sexual freedom, and Kinsey's numbers

created a flurry of reaction.

Sexual misbehavior surely threatened

the ideal family model of the '50s,

and especially women's place as its preserver.

To be barren in this context was a moral failure,

sometimes concealed by secret adoption.

But it was not as problematic as an out-of-wedlock birth.

This living symbol of women's transgressions

provided a measure of the social ostracism

extended to deviant women.

White women who transgressed in this way

tended to be treated as neurotic.

Many took advantage of a system of maternity homes

that enabled them to give birth in secret

and then return to normal lives.

In a well-known book, Wake Up Little Susie,

Rickie Solinger tells us that unwed mothers

might wake to discover that the babies

to which they had given birth had simply disappeared.

Black unwed mothers often found themselves cherished

by their extended families and communities.

But the white community reacted in horror

to slowly growing numbers of mothers, black and white,

without partners, imposing punishments that ranged

from loss of child welfare benefits to sterilization.

Fannie Lou Hamer, later to become a civil rights leader,

was among those who experienced what was

euphemistically called a Mississippi appendectomy,

but was in fact a hysterectomy or sterilization.

MOOC WHAW1.2x | 12.3.1 Technology and the Home - Duration: 3:24.

- Women at home may have felt the earliest nudges from

the winds of freedom.

As the 1920s unfolded, increasing numbers of households

benefited from running water, paved streets and

better sanitation systems.

Coal replaced wood fires in urban households, in others

gas provided a continuing source of heat.

Fewer women chopped wood, more sent their children out

to scavenge for coal.

At the same time, poorer households began to replace

bare wood floors, sometimes even earth floors

with linoleum.

Linoleum was cheap, it was easy to clean,

it was good looking.

With a linoleum floor, a woman might sweep the floor as

often, but washing it would be an easier task.

As more and more households began to get access to

electricity, ice boxes spread, releasing women to shop,

perhaps once every-other day rather than every single day.

For lucky, affluent women, electric irons, vacuum cleaners

and toasters all made daily life easier.

Changes in the household meant that a woman who had

previously needed a daughter or a paid helper could now

manage alone.

Those who had previously not had time for jobs outside

the household, could now imagine using the extra time

to work part time or part-year or temporarily during the

canning season or whenever it seemed appropriate.

Technological changes released daughters of householders

to get more schooling.

A household that could afford it might keep a 14 or 15

year old girl in school until she was 17 or 18.

Might even give her a bit of vocational training,

enabling her to use a typewriter or to become a bookkeeper.

The market expanded too, changing how young and

middle aged women thought about their lives.

Robert and Helen Lynd in their classic volume, Middletown

captured these choices in very graphic terms.

For example, they interview one woman who comments on the

fact that she'd spend most of the early 1900s making

clothes for her children.

By the 1920s, her children preferred ready-made clothing.

And so the mother took a job and with the money she made,

she described herself as hiring the sewing done.

This mother shifted her time to wage earning and used

the income to buy clothing in the market.

Everyone who buys prepared food today and feeds the family

that way because she is working too hard to cook

will understand this process.

MOOC WHAW1.2x | 13.4.1 The State Steps In - Duration: 4:44.

- Within the context of questions about who should work

and how they should work, government policymakers

turned to the issue of how to deal

with the difficulties imposed by the Depression.

Unemployment meant that many people were losing their homes,

being evicted from housing and having to scavenge for food.

Farmers abandoned land to bankers who held mortgages.

Mothers and their children lived from hand to mouth

searching for food and sustenance where they could.

The early relief programs of the 1930s

were generally run by local municipalities and states,

and by the charities that were completely overwhelmed.

But, very soon, the federal government began to step in.

The National Industrial Recovery Act,

signed into law in 1933, allowed industrialists

to band together to divide up and rationalize

the production of goods.

The act provided for codes developed by industrial groups,

but its infamous Section 7A also demanded

that each group include representatives of workers.

Together, these groups would determine a minimum wage

for a particular job down to the last detail

of how much should be paid for a particular task

that took a measured amount of time.

NIRA codes also established rules

for how workers might be treated on the job.

Let's pass over, for the moment, the fact

that without apology, the codes set prices

that differed for men and women

and it ensured that women's jobs paid less

than those done by men.

Instead, we note that the establishment

of committees required workers to choose representatives.

In the eyes of many people, that opened the door

to unionization.

"The president wants you to join a union"

became a powerful new organizing weapon.

The Supreme Court declared NRA codes

and the National Industrial Recovery Act unconstitutional

about a year after they had been passed by Congress.

A parallel act, the Agricultural Adjustment Act,

which tried to make some of the same arrangements

for rural areas, was also declared unconstitutional.

But, the union campaign continued,

ultimately organizing millions of unhappy working people

under the banner of the American Federation of Labor,

and then under its more inclusionary offspring

the Congress of Industrial Organizations.

Women, as well as men, flooded into these unions,

often into segregated female locals

and protected by new legislation that gave workers

the right to organize.

Within less than seven years, union membership climbed

from fewer than three million

to more than nine million workers.

And industrial unionism meant that women

and African Americans could organize as well.

Because the federal government imagined men

and women serving different labor market functions,

it continued to treat men and women differently

in the relief programs it set up

by establishing programs to put young people to work

on environmental projects.

The Civilian Conservation Corps sent urban,

mostly young men, out into rural areas

to preserve them and to make them more accessible

to wider publics.

The camps set up by the Civilian Conservation Corps

generally excluded women and it was only later,

under the pressure of women advocates,

most notably Hilda Smith, that a few women's camps opened.

Here's a photograph of Eleanor Roosevelt visiting

one of what became known as the She-She-She

instead of CCC camps.

This one is for unemployed women in Upstate New York.

MOOC WHAW1.2x | 16.1.5 Suburbanization with Nick Juravich - Duration: 10:36.

- Let's talk a little about the tax policies

that support what now seems to be a kind of,

I would say an integrated lifestyle.

You know, the need to be,

sort of local industries and factories

which support particularly the man.

But increasingly the women from these suburban areas.

And which then provide the goods that fuel the jobs that

continue to fuel the factories.

- It's very interesting.

The historian Andrew Highsmith has just completed a book

about Flint, Michigan and its suburbs.

And he shows that in fact in the 30's and even into the 40's

suburban communities were also redlined.

And the way in which they

got rid of, or escaped their redline status was by

the raising of moneys through taxes and bonds.

To build things like sewers, new streets and lighting.

And by the time you start to see the influx of families.

There's a great demand for investment in schools

and schooling.

And so suburban taxes are some of the most

fought over and debated taxes in all of the United States

in these periods.

And one of the ways in which suburban communities

are able to afford a high quality services

for the veterans and the families moving in.

Is through agreements and arrangements with industrial

corporations.

And so we see this in Oakland.

The suburbs of Oakland take advantage of the presence

of automobile plants.

And create ten and twenty-year policies.

That allow them to benefit by taxing

those industrial concerns and putting that money

towards city services and infrastructure.

We see similar things on Long Island.

With the presence of the aerospace industry.

However, there's a great deal of what we might call today

opportunity hoarding.

And so when metropolitan regents start to try,

as Flint does in 1957,

or as other large cities begin to try to do.

Either to annex these suburbs.

Or to create regional government structures.

Suburbanites resist fiercely.

And the arguments they make are arguments about choice.

People living there, they say, have chosen to live there.

Which of course ignores the ways in which their

living there has been subsidized.

And also they make arguments about defending their families.

That their money, their productive labor

should go towards their specific families

and their communities.

Not be spread widely across the metropolitan region.

And so this kind of, what Andrew Highsmith calls

suburban capitalism.

Becomes a feature of the creation of political units.

That allow suburbs to sort of benefit from the opportunities

of post-war industrial and suburban development.

But not so much bear the cost of as you said,

highway construction, slum clearance.

And economic transformation.

- So you're saying essentially that these suburbs

are developed in some way by government policies.

Which support the granting of mortgages

to particular kinds of people.

Mostly veterans and so on.

And that they produce a lifestyle in which

families live fairly enclosed lives,

apart from close kin or generally apart from parents

who would support them.

And at the same time,

they undermined with their tax structures

the urban areas from which they come.

So the two actually sort of push further and further apart.

And I want to push now into saying

are we then saying that the value systems of the suburbs

which rest on consumption and individuality.

Are alien?

Become increasingly alien?

From the value systems of cities which still rest

on cooperation and collaboration

just in order to live and thrive.

- We might say that.

The political scientist Margaret Weir has coined a term.

The political geography of exit.

She describes the suburbs as places where

people can escape those communal bonds,

the demands made upon you by your neighborhood,

by your union.

An interesting feature of the post-war

suburbanization process is that while many of these men

work in unionized industries,

by the late 60's

when Gallup polls and other studies are done,

they do not primarily identify as union members.

This is not where they get their identity or their politics.

They identify as homeowners and as suburbanites.

And so their spatial location begins to take precedence

over their occupational and vocational experience.

In their political and their social identities.

Another interesting feature of the divergence you describe

between city and suburb is that

what is primarily an economic and a political divergence

comes often to be seen as a cultural

or behavioral divergence.

And this leads suburbanites to resist fiercely when

particularly African-American and Latino city-dwellers

attempt to move to the suburbs.

We have some images here from Chicago.

A very famous and very violent riot

in the industrial suburb of Cicero in 1951.

That took place when a woman rented an apartment

to a single black veteran.

This kind of violence was often also cached

in the language of protecting one's family.

That the families of the suburbs were pure,

were American, were proper.

That the city was a place of juvenile delinquency.

Of danger.

Of degeneracy.

And that those moving from the city to the suburb

would carry with them some of this.

If not kept out, often by popular violence

as well as by those more subtle administrative forms

of segregation we talked about earlier.

- So and is this a black-white segregation?

Or are we now talking about more complicated forms

of ethnicity?

- The most well known story of segregation

in the United States in the post-war period

is of course the story of the

segregation of African-Americans.

But in cities and towns in California

there are already sizable Latino as well as

Asian populations.

And there are long histories of segregation

of those communities there.

In New York City you've seen a massive influx

of Puerto Ricans.

First during the World War

to provide workers for the war effort.

But then afterwards.

And so suburbanization, while it is deeply segregated

along racial lines, is not exclusively black or white.

There are many different processes at work here.

Class as well.

One of the other threats seen to suburbs.

It is not just the demand for integration,

but the demand for the creation of multi-unit housing.

So suburban zoning laws become contested.

As efforts to build apartments in the suburbs

are challenged in the courts.

And are rebuked by suburbanites

who see that style of building as reminiscent

of city-living and all the threats they feel come with that.

- It's fascinating.

I want to take you one step further which is to say

these suburban, initial suburban communities.

The Levittowns.

Are rather, and relatively speaking, compact places.

But very quickly I believe,

we move into what becomes known as exurbia.

That is people are no longer satisfied

with the little plot of ground and the backyard.

But the desire to have a bigger and better house

and on an acre of land.

That exacerbates all of the tendencies of the suburbs.

Am I right about that or?

- It does and this is a process that rolls on for decades.

Today in fact, we often talk about how inner ring suburbs,

some of these first Levittowns are no longer wealthy.

They're also no longer white in many cases.

And in some cases they have higher poverty rates

than the cities they surround.

Meanwhile you've seen gentrification in urban core areas.

And you've also seen the creation of exurbs.

Large and very dispersed developments.

That sit far outside cities.

And are connected both by highways

but also to industrial parks

and other kinds of employment on the urban fringe.

- As suburbanization spreads.

And we imagine the ideal lifestyle of the

nuclear family that you moves into the suburbs.

We also know that in the 1950's,

we see the beginning of the rising divorce rates.

And the dissatisfaction that we later begin to understand

or call the feminine mystique.

I'd like to hold the suburbs responsible for this.

Would you agree or would you not?

- Well I think it's similar to the cult of domesticity

we talked about in the beginning of the course.

It's an ideal.

And much like the ideal of domesticity

which was realized only rarely in practice,

or at least far less commonly in practice

than it was imposed.

Through the visions of things like Godey's Lady's Book.

The suburban ideal of the nuclear family

is never fully realized.

And it has a great many tensions.

We talked about the isolation that it visits upon women.

It also requires that families stay together.

Divorce challenges this.

So for that matter, does misbehavior on the part of husbands

as well as the desire of women to see their lives

expand beyond the development.

To work, to act as citizens.

All of these kinds of challenges to suburbanization

start to feature in the movements of the late 50's

and the early 60's that we'll talk about further on.

Well, son, I'll tell you: Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

It's had tacks in it, And splinters,

And boards torn up,

And places with no carpet on the floor—

Bare.

But all the time

I'se been a-climbin' on,

And reachin' landin's,

And turnin' corners,

And sometimes goin' in the dark

So boy, don't you turn back.

Don't you set down on the steps

'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.

Don't you fall now—

For I'se still goin', honey,

I'se still climbin',

And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

2015-2017 F150 Matte Black Headlight Accent Decals Review & Install - Duration: 2:38.

You should be taking a look at the matte black headlight accent decals if you're the owner

of a 2015 or newer F150 and you're looking to pick up a small stealthy yet aggressive

appearance to the exterior front end of your truck.

This is a perfect fit for the guys out there who have smoked headlights or just looking

for some accent to it, or if you're looking to complete an exterior blackout look you

can apply this to the top of the gloss with a subtle matte black finish.

The cool thing about this is it's extremely affordable with just about a $20 price tag.

The install, since it is only vinyl, goes on very simply with a one out of three wrenches

on our difficulty meter.

We'll talk more about that later on.

Taking a closer look at these decals here, they're obviously kind of squarish cutouts

here that go on each side of the headlight nose panel, one for the top, one for the bottom.

They go perfect with, as I mentioned, smoked headlights or even a blackout grille.

They'd also be a great match for the exact same styling of the hood decals which would

make it look like one complete running set going from the headlights all the way back

to the top of the hood or the end of the quarter panels.

You can expect these to be manufactured right here in house at American Trucks Graphics

out of the highest quality 4 mil wrapping cast vinyl available on today's market.

These are built to handle at least eight years of outdoor weather climates in the extreme

conditions that you may be encountering.

With that said, it does also incorporate an air release technology which is basically

mini air channels underneath the vinyl which allow the air to squeeze out from underneath,

giving you a wrinkle-free and bubble-free finish.

As I mentioned up top, this is going to be one of the most affordable things you can

do to the exterior styling of your truck.

Everything you see here on this sheet from American Trucks Graphics costs just $20.

With that said, it goes on very simply and is a direct fit for all F150 models even including

the Raptors.

As far as the install is concerned, since it is just the vinyl application expect 1

out of 3 wrenches for our difficulty meter, 30 minutes at the absolute maximum from start

to finish.

As far as hand tools, just have a squirt bottle with a soap and water mixture as well as the

squeegee included in the kit and the instruction manual to help you along your way.

All you'll have to do is make sure you clean off the area around the headlights that you're

going to be applying this to just to make sure that the vinyl gets a good bonding with

no dirt or dust.

Once that's taken care of, wipe both sides of the vinyl as well as the application area,

apply it into place, straighten it all out, repeat for each of the headlight trim and

then you're good to go.

If you're the owner of a 2015 or newer F150, you might want to check out the matte black

headlight accent details available right here at AmericanTrucks.com.
