Violence, USA: An Interview With Henry A. Giroux

Michael Slate and Henry A. Giroux, The Michael Slate Show: ''... [T]he United States is not only obsessed with military values shaping foreign policy, but war and militarism have become a mediating force that begins to seep into almost every aspect of daily life. That is we see war and its dynamics of cruelty and punishment seeping into a whole range of institutions.... [W]e see schools as being modeled increasingly after prisons. We see police forces being paramilitarized. We see popular culture endlessly celebrating the spectacle of violence, and so it goes.''
