“Different Values: Cultural Shifts in America” examines the country’s Post-COVID moral reckoning, from technology and mental health to War in the Mideast
Kay Elksong’s book Different Values: Cultural Shifts in America explores key changes shaping American life from COVID to the Israel-Gaza war, covering technology, mental health, and moral shifts.
The book discusses topics including AI bias termed 'virtual imperialism,' natural disasters, new political movements, and the impacts of the Israel-Gaza conflict.
It argues that increased reliance on machines threatens democracy by widening the gap between technology elites and the general public.
Different Values responds to Pope Francis's call for society to embrace empathy and shared pain during crises to emerge stronger, while highlighting risks of spiritual poverty amid rapid modernization.
