Hello everyone! Welcome to our #tweetchat titled, "Transforming Social Norms: Girl Child Education" dedicated to #EducationDay2023, an annual event that raises awareness on the state of education in the world. The theme for this year is "Invest in people, prioritise education."
Formal education is critical to improving people’s quality of life and the nation's development. Globally, 244 million children and youth are out of school, and 771 million adults are illiterate.

Research says most people who use drugs are men. And many people think there is no reason to involve #women in #drugpolicy. But they are mistaken. The drug phenomenon is not #gender neutral.

Due to gendered norms and notions of #femininity that are incompatible with #drugs use, the complex realities of women are often ignored. However, a growing movement is trying to shift this perspective to better understand the unique challenges that female users face.

"What's the motivation of this paper? We've seen in most of these locations that there was an #emergence of some form of hierarchical #government [correlated with] a monopoly of #violence and increased #inequality [and] most people lost."

Al- Salam Alykum everyone, I’m Zeinab Seid Ahmed, a mother and secondary school teacher. I have been a teacher for 15+ years now, for me teaching is not just a profession, it’s our guaranteed plan to flourish as a nation and that’s exactly what I keep repeating to my students
You are our hope for a better tomorrow”
Being a mother and a teacher offers me a great opportunity to help my daughters & students shape their futures. Unfortunately sometimes the decision isn’t in their hands nor mine. Today Im going to share the story of my dear student Fatima.

Fatima was one of my brilliant students, she was delightful & energetic, aspiring to become a lawyer. She was full of hopes and dreams that she wanted to pursue.
Suddenly Fatima was absent from class for a while, I was worried about her especially that she wouldn’t miss classes+

1/9 #Colonial #Victorian tropes of #primitive and #civilised are never funny @BBCNews @BBCWorld. They were actively used to justify colonialism.
Small-scale societies are as complex as large states, and values and morals are #HumanUniversals. Also, #Neanderthals were smart!

Anyone raising #Norms arguments who has not been thoroughly consistent as to those alleged norms will go on mute .... I will accept but ignore (as it is boring) partisanship etc but spare me the hypocrisy.
Also (speaking as someone without for some time now) if you do have living parents - whether or not this pandemic is on - then why are you here online arguing about things you cannot change? At least call them, or if you can, see them. Nothing else really matters by comparison.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk etc

Rising political polarization is often linked to fractured societies rife with racial inequality, factional conflict & partisan animosity.
In the U.S., many issues yield a surprising partisan divide, think mask wearing (see also recent paper by @spbhanot & @dhopkins1776)

In multiple pre-registered *behavioral* experiments, I study the perceptional & behavioral consequences of polarization.
In particular, I examine the behavioral-, belief-, and norm-based mechanisms with which this political intergroup conflict materializes.

2/5: "...engineer more benign social environments w/ simple, targeted taxes & subsidies, calibrated to amplify contagion effects, rather than w/ complex, intrusive regulation," we'll have to look at integrating such measures w/in a multi-level selection evolutionary framework.
3/5: A prominent example of this is Prosocial.world's application of Elinor #Ostrom's eight principles of cooperative behavior w/in this evolutionary framework, in a scalable manner. Also take a look at the following: amazon.com/This-View-Life… & amazon.com/Prosocial-Evol…
I found in the archives this Times (UK) 31 July 2006 profile of the late Senator John McCain and his most admirable family of serving sailors and Marines. Note this incredible statistic of dynastic political corruption, which one suspects only got worse since 2006
My google search for this piece also produced this *August 2008* story re Hunter Biden’s ‘entrepreneurial’ activities amid his father’s lawmaking office holding....I am sure this was all above board as well.

Will simply say, again, that when Caesar marched on Rome, a good century of dynastic political corruption and plundering of the Republic’s offices meant that Caesar, even with his legions, was always pushing at an open door, due to popular disgust with the status quo

Existing scientific approach to the study of norms:
◈ Clearly define norms and study how individuals react (tradition of @RobertCialdini, @CBicchieri, Fehr & others)
◈ Find: social norms motivate and affect personal decisions, even when they are not in our own self-interest
