At 4:30 Metta Spencer – sociologist & activist - Before retiring from the University of Toronto, she coordinated a program in peace & conflict studies. Her introductory textbook, “Foundations of Modern Sociology”, was published in nine editions. Since her retirement in 1997, she continues as the editor of Peace Magazine.
Another book, “Two Aspirins and a Comedy: How Television Can Enhance Health & Society”, was published in February 2006.
It deals with the impact of entertainment in human affairs, ranging from:
- our health (dramas stimulate emotions and emotions can make you sick or healthy),
- to our ethics (especially as we empathize with good or evil characters)
- to our social policies (as we learn — correctly or incorrectly — how to handle social problems).
She hopes to stimulate awareness of the potential uses of entertainment to improve personal and societal well-being. Now she’s getting back to work on another unfinished book, “Bears & Doves”, which shows the impact of the international peace movement on Soviet military policies.
