In addition, the researchers wanted to examine the hypothesis that people infer social class from speaking style rather than the content of what is said. Therefore, in another study, they ran an experiment where participants were asked to either listen to or read transcripts from 90 seconds of recorded speech in which the speakers talked about themselves without explicitly mentioning anything about their social class for example, their job title.
Participants were asked to judge what they thought the social classes of the speakers were by using a rung ascending ladder of increasing income, education and occupation status.
They found that participants who heard the audio recordings were more accurate in judging where the speakers fell in terms of their social status. To demonstrate whether these inferences have real-world consequences, Kraus and his colleagues ran another experiment in the form of a simulated hiring scenario.
They recruited 20 prospective job candidates from a pool of applicants to practice interviewing for a laboratory manager position requiring a broad range of technical and interpersonal skills. The 20 candidates were chosen because they represented the widest disparity between high and low social class from the entire applicant pool. The findings showed that participants were able to accurately judge the social class of the candidates and that this effect was stronger for participants who had heard the audio recordings.
In addition, participants judged the higher-class candidates as more competent, a better fit for the job and more likely to be hired. They also awarded them a higher starting salary and a larger sign-on bonus. Moreover we use this information to discriminate against people who seem to be of a lower social class. The purpose of human agency was not to shepherd the world in a particular direction but to improve the self.
History is not about progress in this outlook; it is the unending flux of life through which a person strives to redemptively transcend his humanity. World War II put even greater strain on the progress narrative.
Nevertheless, the idea that history is about retrospective judgment remained popular, thanks to the Cold War. Prominent American historians and policymakers remained committed to a liberal vision of history as progress, seeing the spread of American power in much the same light as the British had seen theirs. The idea of history as progress sustained the other side, too. We may find that recovering that kind of ethical accountability might even make better history in the end.

City-Data Forum Message. Cancel Changes. All sorts of groups urged that people no longer be shamed for their sexual proclivities or their disabilities. A greater tolerance emerged that left people freer to accept treatment for psychological problems or to disclose their sexual identity. In recent decades, psychology research has found that feelings of shame can demoralize people or generate aggression because they make individuals feel bad about themselves. And this continues to change our society in important ways, loosening a number of traditional constraints that, if violated, used to lead to public shaming.
Unmarried middle-class women can now proudly bear children, while public listing of school grades is outlawed. Recently, however, attitudes toward shaming have shifted, even as the chorus of disapproval continues. According to a Google Ngram search, references to shame in written texts — in decline in the United States since the midth century — have, in recent decades, increased far more than in other English-speaking countries. By my reading, three sources account for the change.
First, a number of conservative judges in the s ruled that shaming was an appropriate punishment for certain crimes like drunken driving or petty theft.
