narratives -- again perry is talking about racial narratives but here i am going further -- narratives are different because they are a mechanism by which we identify and place ourselves within the world. so if we are telling our life story, we are attaching ourselves to other life stories are narratives, -- or narratives, there is a cognitive processing that takes place. we begin to internalize and synthesize and that becomes important for us to be aware of. master narratives are further explained beautifully by research psychologies -- psychologist cynthia winston and michael winston and what they say -- this is paraphrasing. within racialized societies persons construct identity in part with the contest of the racial ideology that presents themselves and master narratives of race. the narrative features are reinforced by the institutional and structural features of society as well as through the political and economic realities that automatically create limited opportunities distributed by race. a person's identity is a psychological dimension of personality that functions to integr

then there is more sense making, the result of, narratives common narratives shared with others. how is it that i might be further affirmed by hearing similar narratives to mine from others suggesting that my story is in fact valid or normal or healthy? this is how i maintain visibility within society. in her book "more beautiful more terrible" there is a great chapter that helps to bridge the psychology i am talking about more substantively. of course, she says a lot of good stuff, but i want to enter with the distinguishing between narrative and stereotype. it is an important distinction. paraphrasing professor parry within a 21st century want to be , post- racial society will more -- we more easily dismiss stereotypes. perry is talking about racial narratives. i'm going a little further. narratives are different because they are a mechanism by which we identify and place ourselves within the world. if we are telling our life story, attaching ourselves to others, or to other narratives, there is this cognitive assessing that takes place that we make sense of the world in these

so to find places for not just the national economic narrative, which is critical but for the micro-narrativethe personal story that puts a face an experience on paid sick days and the need for pre-k, which we haven't touched on but another huge middle class and anti-poverty policy. i think that's a really important element of the fight. >> let's open up for questions, or comments from other legislators, as well. >> senate minority leader in michigan. i come from a state that's overwhelmingly blue, but the governor and the legislature are controlled by republicans in pretty big majorities. and we've had some examples, and to your point, first, too, nick, one of the things i think we need to do is we've allowed conservatives to set the narrative and we responded to them as opposed to being proud of the values which have, which are much more popular with the public and really lead with those. even if it takes awhile to get them passed just keep talking about them, as opposed to referring to their narrative. but some examples we had in michigan, and referenced before, we passed medicaid expansio

so i don't know but i call it narrative nonfiction. and you know one of the things it is compared with and often with a certain note of hostility is academic. all of us write history so there is academic history and then there it is whatever it is we do. popular history and i have never fully understood the puzzlement and the outright hostility that exists in academia towards narrative, telling stories. i give talks all over the country at universities and i'm also a teacher at colorado college in colorado. what i do is like a hot potato. if no one in the history department wants anything to do with it. i get called in to speak under the auspices of the american studies department journalism, mfa programs, english departments. everyone seems to recognize what i do is a completely and utterly legitimate thing but not these books. so i don't fully understand it but i don't think that the birds would fly backwards of narrative for todd little bit in history departments. i think it's viewed as entertainment or history light. i'm not, don't

a generation ago narratives of u.s. religion were crafted as tails of plurism a rowdy but loveable marketplace of individuals making spiritual choices. the history recounted here adds to a generational course of dissent from those depictions. this is a story of the americanization of mormonism, of the ways modern political and social worlds have chipped away at its secrets. on the other hand, it's a reminder that the keeping and telling of secrets pushes scholars onto unstable ground. how should one study or narrate, what partisans either want to keep hidden as an article of faith or exposed as an act of democratic righteousness. scholars of religion, journalists and political commentators might seek that space between taboo and fetish with regard to the secrets. idealy we steer clear of the secret keeping and wanting to expose. we must better explain what is at stake across time and in the present. thank you. >> good morning. i want to continue with the theme of outsider religious candidates religion candidates from ou

not only -- not only on trying to get laws passed but moving the narratives forward. because if you take a look, the reality is that conservatives now control more state legislature chambers than they have since the 1900s. there are now only seven states where we have seven states and a governor to sign things into law. so the realities are reflective of what these two legislators have been talking about. so i would like to hear from you, david are there sthings that we can -- some things that we can push forward in states on let's have the debate on women's health and are you really against equal pay that type of thing. what are some of those things. and then would you like to hear from the legislators as well. either you or some of the legislators in the audience about what are some examples that have worked in your states, what has actually passed in states that are progressive, middle class ideas and you were able to bring sort of coalitions along with you. so go ahead david. >> sure. there are two big things the policies and then the politics around those policie

it's always been about the narrative.it's easy to understand ferguson when you realize a simple fact, it is about the narrative that police departments across the country are structurally racist. that they do their job like a bunch of racists. what is the fix? washington, d.c. eric holder will sweep in and from washington start issuing edicts start filing lawsuits and eventually assert more power over police departments. that's how to understand ferguson. there's another element that also is going on. a racially polarized population helps democrats win election. it's that simple. so they constantly have to churn this racial narrative so they can get minorities voting like they did in 2012 at rates of like 98% for democrat candidates. that's what this is all about. it's very easy to understand. >> kevin, let me go back to some incidents that happened here. i mean we have the stepfather burn this [ bleep ] down. watch. >> burn this [ bleep ] down! burn this [ bleep ] down! burn this [ bleep ] down! burn this [ bleep ] down!

does this play into a larger narrative? for most people, let's be honest, they're not paying attention to the presidential race. we're still pretty far out. republicans are getting the chance to set the narrative for her. >> let's be honest, a lot of voters don't remember the clinton days. most people in camp clinton think this will be fine, this will pass, the election will be about foreign policy but i did talk to one veteran of the last clinton administration. the big question is transparency and authenticity matter more. we'll see. >>> next, selma 50 years later and what the commemoration tells us about today's politics. politicians say the darndest things. hillary clinton and that darndest dress. >> i want to answer one question right at the start before it stirs up twitter. over the years people have read a lot of different things into my pantsuits, so let's settle this once and for all. despite what you might think, this outfit is not actually white and gold. this is my body of proof that i can fight psoriatic arthri

not only on trying to get laws passed but moving the narratives for it, because if you take a look, i mean, the reality is that conservatives now control more state legislature chambers than they have since the 1900s. there are now only seven states where we have both chambers and a governor to signing things into law. so the realities are really reflective of what these two legislators have been talking about. i'd what i'd like to hear maybe from you, david, are there some ideas that we can be pushing in state that are res anatomyonant across the board? let's have the debate on women's health. let's have the debate, really, are you against equal pay? that type of thing. then i'd like to hear from the legislators as well. either you or some of the legislators in the audience about what are some examples that have worked in your states? what has actually passed in states that are progressive middle class ideas and you were able to bring sort of coalitions along with you. go ahead david. >> sure. i think there are two big things to your question. there are policies and the politics arou

that the republicans are trying to spin a narrative, that the clintons are above the law and play bywn set of rules. this is not like bob menendez that could be dharjed with -- charged with federal corruption charges but this adds to the narrative that this is not right. something doesn't smell right. >> don't know anybody who has a special e-mail server in their house and this isn't the issue that will sink hillary clinton but it is behavior people don't understand and it is not familiar to anybody. >> we'll have more on senator menendez in a moment and hopefully on monday a segment on how to have your own home brew e-mail system and i would like to know. and i think a lot of people will say, i didn't know you could do that. and certainly this is an unforced error but folks are going to say to what end. at the end of the first read they say this isn't going to hurt her with democrats or spark a hotly contested democratic primary and not less likely to make her less than a viable general election candidate. is this where folks are cater walling? >> good word. >> e-mails are supposed

that does further the narrative. on the other hand, this doesn't necessarily hurt her because people get tired of hearing about it as well. if republicans are just going to hammer her on e-mails that is probably not a winner either. she has benefit in her quote unquote hibernation, that hibernation ends when she declares her nomination. >> all sorts of references as to whether or not this e-mail controversy is legal or scandalous or neither. you say it's not right to call it a scandal. and it may not have been, the federal rules were broken. the year she took office as secretary of state a rule went into place that david was talking about stating that if an agency allows its employees to use a personal e-mail account they have to be preserved in the appropriate e-mail keeping system. what do you think about this, is this a breaking of the spirit of the law or more? >> it may be. we are not certain that it's a break of the law as david arioso said. the state department has regulations, the point is it's about secrecy.

for hillary clinton it feeds a narrative.ereas mitt romney's refusal to release his tax records fed the narrative that he was wealthy and hide his money. for hillary clinton, the use of a private e-mail account, she's secretive and political. there's a real problem if we allow our public officials to determine which communications from them that we get to see. michael's point, the key point that michael made was that the clinton people state, and obama administration will come back and say she sent them to public accounts and caught up in the drag mail. no that's their statement. we need to know if they sent them to private people diplomats. we need to see the e-mail. >> let's take it out of the clinton narrative and let's not go there and pile on. if samantha power it was discovered this or john kerry, we would say that's not how you operate. >> in 2015 it's a terrible breach of public trust. it's a terrible breach of and lack of transparency and it does feed into a narrative. and richard haass, the fact again, that very cle

now, all of us know the republican narrative. it's the narrative of negativity that plays on fear plays on frustration, plays on bitterness the national republican party as a collective hole is an absolute expert at that. its leaders have been successful at playing at people's emotions and they use that passion to fuel the rank partisanship and the narrow-minded nature of their views. democrats on a national level need to channel that passion of the american people and we need to channel in the a positive direction, by focusing effectively on the things that democrats stand for. and that, my friends, is the very top recommendation in this preliminary report. . you will see that these recommendations fall into five primary areas with four others still under discussion. and the very first area has to do with the party's brand. quite simply, we need one. we need one. clab clab as this report point-- [ applause ] as this report points out, our party is a long list of policy statements and not as a people with a common set of core val

it's the pivotal moment in the narrative. from that terrible winter in 1977 and '78, writers turned to the fulfillment in the constitution almost ten years later or more frequently to topical analyses of the guiding principles. following chapter then covers the founding of all 13 colonies and some detail but concludes with is summary section. christian dominance in the settlement of every single colony the authors claim. the purritans provide their best evidence. it would just as well have been made by all 13 colonies they claim. it stated we all came into these parts of america with one in the same end and aim mainly to advance the kingdom of our lord jesus christ and enjoy the liberty of the gospel and peace. as it's authors use roughly half the pages to describe the pilgrims and the puritans. including details sump as the color of the wake behind the mayflower and even fiction izealized dialogue. this telescoping between past and present creates highly readable prose. describing the mayflower compact they provide a perfect

the alternative narrative after 2040 is where the two countries develop a common narrative.ong the lines of the principles i was seeking to express before. constructive realism. here's what we agree on and what he disagree on. let's minimize the latter and maximize the former. that way, i can see asking much better to guarantee the long-term peace and security the neighborhood. one final point, if you're going up to 2040. china will have to, in order to emerge as a global great power, have to deal with 6-7 major challenges around the economy. its demography. in order for its rise to continue. that involves a range of assumptions which assume smart chinese leadership and a bit of luck prevail. i am into the realist business, how do you maximize the prospects of peace and stability? in asia, where my country is located, we want to see the emergence of a common narrative. >> a prime minister said, this is the asian century. what we don't know whether it it is china's or india's? >> india's place is huge. the society represents the totality of the region. and five subregions. ch

so he is shifting his narrative as well. also increasingly suggesting somehow that the shots emanated from somewhere within the group of protesters who were basically stragglers after the protests were over around midnight. he is now saying it's an unfortunate association with that. the eyewitnesses at the scene say the shots came some distance behind them. here is what happened. >> reporter: as the protests were dwindling after midnight the shots were heard. >> we hear what we thought we fireworks up the street. it turns out it happened three more times. it was gunfire, because we saw the muzzle fire from the gun at the top of the street so we all ducked down and then we saw the cop was shot right next too us. >> reporter: one police officer was shot in the face another in the shoulder. it happened at a protest outside of ferguson's police department in the hours following the announcement that the police chief will resign. following a damming report on his police department he came the sixth official to resign in this smal

that is loved the most in the country, that is revered, thought to be like perhaps the greatest narrative of all time the $25 -- >> actavis. i got it. >> how do you -- you why a "jeopardy!" champion. >> i got it. i was nervous. so that's -- >> make it happen. >> around 300. >> if actavis turns around and celgene turn around, it's going to be a bit of a nice day. >> let's talk mcdonald's for a second. easterbrook is here somewhere, at the nyc. i believe an investor meeting today. >> double cheese burger? >> i would assume. >> everybody has to have one. i went to phillipip morris there was a pack of marlboro lights

that feeds another one of these narratives which is not true. it's not a central focus. you look at 2012 black voter i.d. l turnout exceeded that of white voter turnout and in states with the strictest voter i.d. laws. >> i think what is surprising about this debate is we haven't talked at all about the other ferguson report. i mean, you talk about moral clarity, there is moral clarity in the ferguson report where rative they describes instances where african-americans -- a cen >> let me interrupt for a second because we have statistics on tu the screen. this is a report about the ctest general police department in ferguson. >> please put it on the screen. think t blacks make up or made up 67% ofhe o the thpopulation in ferguson but clari theyty accounted for 93% of the arrests there and 88% of cases where there was the use of >> force. here it was attorney general holder releasing the report. on, but >> these policing practishes disproportionately harm se pol african-american icresidents. esidents in fact, our review of the evidence found no alternative explanation for

what i'm defending is a narrative untrue. right? so i'm pushing back against a narrative that is untrue. what belmar said is that the shooter was embedded in the protest community and that the shooter ambushed the police things that simply are not true. i don't condone the shooting but i want to get to the facts and it seems like jeffrey was assaulted by the police and that is a problem and that the lawyer is saying that the statements were released without any counsel. again, this is why we are protesting because the police have shown that they are unfeet to lead. belmar's statements were inflammatory and that's not what you want from the police. >> thank you both for your time. there are a lot of questions about what happened that night and whether williams was embedded with or embedded using the cover of protesters. >>> "outfront" next, a real estate millionaire linked to three murders. but it could be more. is he a serial killer? >>> and a traffic app used by 50 million people. it's supposed to be used to prevent you from gettin

>> if guto the military, let's start this in the narrative frame. the core interest which xi gin ping has in is to make sure the military modern sophisticated, of engaging in and prevailing in a military cop conflict and nand around the military. the first function of the military is protect the party under that country under the party and state constitution. always important to bear in mind. the contingencies for which the chinese military plans, are primarily those associated with the long-term scenarios for the recovery of taiwan to the main's tender embrace. the chinese wish to achieve that by diplomatic means but if that doesn't happen, then under those circumstances, their war gaming is around how do you secure taiwan, and, therefore, defeat a u.s. military or naval action in the taiwan straits >> rose: is the outlook for china less today than when they were growing at 10% for all those 18 or 20 years, and-- or was it to be expect as they got large ethe base was large ethe growth would slow down. >> i think any of us who are students of econom

>> i'm not so sure because narratives have a way of sticking. i agree with you completely, sean, that this is clintonian that you get the news out early it would just be old news a year and a half now when it's actually the general election it will be ancient news. so there is some logic to that for sure. but the problem is is a pattern begins to develop. and i think all those four things that you mention suggest that the clintons are now believed that they're above the law. and if this pattern, if this narrative develops further, that can be really damaging. and all of those things especially the e-mail especially the acceptance of foreign donations in defiance of that agreement with president obama they all suggest the same thing that the clintons believe they're not beholden to anybody. they might have created some of the laws, they might have signed some of the laws, hillary clinton as a senator might have voted for some of them, but they don't have to follow them because they're the clintons. i don't think that does them any favors. >> laur

>> it's a narrative outlook. i can send you what we did in previous years for the fiscal year budget. it outlines what we accomplished in the previous fiscal year lays out the categories of expenditures and a narrative description of what they are as well as the funding sources, describes the funding sources, so it will be that but larger because it's fiscal year and program budget. >> i hope that we could add to that would be in may some of the issues that you are looking at and dealt with in terms of this is what is coming up. i know for example one that recently that has come up with a couple of board members is whether the idea that the money that would come from sponsorships would be operating money or capital money and that is an issue in may here's why we think it should be one or the other because i know that's surprised me and another director as to the categorization of that, so issues like that i think is what i would like to see in may so we could then in june when we just are looking at numbers we co

how will the narrative be retold? how will it be reclaimed? how will this war be re-justified? indeed, when we find ourselves in april of 2015, we will have the mother of all binary oppositions before us. i believe it is in the symbolic debate between those two poles that we had perhaps the best chance to price and behold how are 21st century experienced this, and how a cap race are still undone and reconfigured from that event. and how legacies of graffiti and resurrection. the timeline of war imposes its own code of civil conduct. it usually has -- the invocation of stability is necessary for a cease-fire and surrender. the very premise of stability, which we may defined as a social act as polite behavior. the oxford english dictionary is a layered source to which i am constantly sending my students. it suggests that stability in addition to standing as an indication of refinement and good breeding is also the absence of anarchy and disorder. before we breathe a sigh of relief, let us be mindful that civility by democracy and good parenting requires oversight and maintenance.

we are wired for narratives that we watch instead of trying to absorb. reading a book, after into the consciousness of this guy, and he has to do the same with me, and that takes effort. it is almost over. >> do you agree? >> i am still trying to get into the whole entering gary's consciousness. come on. actually, i'm just going to stay. i think -- i do agree. i actually think it is a question of money. it is just not lucrative for anyone to read or to get people to read. the technology is overtaking that. everything, all human activity is so connected to profitability in a way that just was not the case in my childhood, for example, that it seems kind of strange, to be invalid about reading a novel or a lengthy text area is as if everything has to be reduced to bullet points. >> so was the novel just a contingent, time-permitted thing for early victorian era to 15 years ago? what is next? >> the novel is contingent with the enlightenment. and i think that now the end of the enlightenment misinformation does not depend upon the accuracy, but sellability
