Young Female Aggression

Many teenage girls feel they live in a culture that does not tolerate young female aggression, which can sometimes result in covert and indirect aggression, such as backbiting, exclusion, rumors and manipulation, in order to inflict pain on others. Dr. Dan Gottlieb discusses this form of bullying with Rachel Simmons, author of the book Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls. Listen »

Modern-Day Slavery

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 outlawed slavery world-wide - but despite this legal barrier, slavery persists in many parts of the world, including the United States. Some experts estimate that 30 million people are enslaved today. Dan Gottlieb will discuss the reach and impact of modern-day slavery with Tommy Calvert of the American Anti-Slavery Group. We'll also hear from a former slave. For more information visit www.iabolish.com. Listen »

Zero Tolerance

In schools across the country, kids seem out of control, and teachers are overwhelmed. As a result, many schools have established "Zero Tolerance" policies - that means children who act out get suspended. Dr. Dan Gottlieb and his guests will discuss if this approach works. Does it really restore discipline - and how does it affect the behavior of children who have been suspended? We'll be joined by Dr. Ray Lorion, Professor of Psychology and Education at the University of Pennsylvania. We'll also hear from Safe Schools Advocate Harvey Reiss. Listen »
