Television, movies, news, and social media; we're living in a world
where we're inundated with stories and information. Yet somehow,
instead of learning about each other and coming together, our
nation is more divided than ever. Despite our access to facts and
information, research indicates that our distrust of others is at a
record high. In everyday interactions, we deal with people who seem
to be operating in an entirely different reality than us-because
they are. In Context is Everything: How to Navigate Life in
Multiple Realities, author David James Bright explains how each of
us is raised in our own unique context and how that context shapes
our identity, narratives, beliefs, and willingness to interpret
facts. Bright pulls from his extensive work as a mental health,
career, and school counselor to help readers better understand how
we create our own social narratives and identities. Through
personal anecdotes, real-world examples, case studies, doses of
humor, and research, you'll learn how our personal biases and
tendencies can affect how we interact with others, especially those
with different life experiences or those of different social
classes, ethnic backgrounds, sexual identities, or political
affiliations. By facilitating greater levels of personal
understanding and self-reflection, Context is Everything encourages
readers of all backgrounds to recognize our common thread of
humanity and to come together despite our varying worldviews and
perspectives. The book is an ideal supplementary text for courses
in sociology, psychology, and counseling, especially those with
focus on human services professional identity, social justice,
social constructivism, and capstone experiences.
