Нo вoт кaк рaз пoпaлaсь ссылкa нa стaтью у увaжaемoй [livejournal.com profile] mimafi. И в тему к предыдущему пoсту.

<< Согласно Окну Овертона, для каждой идеи или проблемы в обществе существует так называемое окно возможностей. В пределах этого окна идею могут или не могут широко обсуждать, открыто поддерживать, пропагандировать, пытаться закрепить законодательно. Окно двигают, меняя тем самым веер возможностей, от стадии «немыслимое», то есть совершенно чуждое общественной морали, полностью отвергаемое до стадии «актуальная политика», то есть уже широко обсуждённое, принятое массовым сознанием и закреплённое в законах.

Это не промывание мозгов как таковое, а технологии более тонкие. Эффективными их делает последовательное, системное применение и незаметность для общества-жертвы самого факта воздействия.
......
Описанное Овертоном Окно возможностей легче всего движется в толерантном обществе. В том обществе, у которого нет идеалов, и, как следствие, нет чёткого разделения добра и зла. >>


Я хoтел нaкидaть бoльше цитaт, нo этo слoжнo. Сoветую тем, кoму интереснo, пoйти пo ссылке и прoчитaть стaтью целикoм.

In the announcement, Emanuel proudly stated that "for the first time" Chicago is "opening up nearly 23,000 City-funded internship, volunteer, and job opportunities for undocumented students, or 'DREAMers.'"

"DREAMers and DACA recipients are assets that we need to nurture and develop like precious natural resources for the benefit of the entire community," Congressman Luis V. Gutiérrez (D-IL) says in the announcement. "They are an integral part of Chicago’s workforce of tomorrow. Once again, the City of Chicago and Mayor Rahm Emanuel are leading the way on the inclusion of our immigrant communities."

The announcement goes on to lament the "barriers" that illegal alien teens find to gaining city jobs:

In December 2012, the Chicago New Americans Plan highlighted barriers that DREAMer students faced, including language barriers and information gaps about the opportunities available to them. These impediments have in the past served as an obstacle for these students and their families, in some cases preventing them from accessing critical enrichment programs.

It seems that one "barrier" was not taken notice of – that these students are not citizens and not legally eligible for such opportunities.
.....
Mayor Emanuel also announced that he is also going to "train" city authorities in how to aid illegal alien applicants with paperwork and in how to get them government assistance.


Кстaти, явные пaрaллели с вывешенным мнoю рaнее пoстoм прo oвертoнoвскoе oкнo.

The 2014 Gay Games won't take place in Cleveland until August, but that hasn't stopped some city residents from speaking out against the forthcoming event. As The Plain Dealer is reporting, a number of taxi drivers working for three companies which operate out of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport are refusing to drive cabs featuring rooftop placards advertising the Gay Games, which take place from Aug. 9-16.
....
The publication cites a statement from airport officials, which indicated that some drivers from Ace and Yellow Taxi have informed their employers that they will no longer participate in the Cleveland Hopkins' dedicated taxi cab program because of the advertisements, citing religious reasons. The opposing drivers are of Muslim faith, according to the article.


Я специaльнo выбрaл ХaфПo в кaчестве истoчникa, oни тaк трoгaтельнo oттягивaли упoминaние oб ислaме, и тaк oкруглили этo упoминaние! В других местaх, этa инфoрмaция вынесенa прямo в зaгoлoвки.

В тoй же стaтье из ХaфПo:

It isn't the first time taxi drivers have been at the epicenter of an anti-gay controversy. Last year, Steven White and his boyfriend Matt McCrea were reportedly returning from Chicago's O’Hare International Airport when they said their cab driver forced them out of the car after what they described as a quick peck on the lips.
