Question

A book subtitled for these people describes climbing an “empathy wall” and presents a “deep story,” an analogy about waiting in a line, as an explanation for their “Great Paradox.” Bob Altemeyer initially argued that one kind of these people has a personality type defined by submission, aggression, and conventionality, based on the work of Theodor Adorno (-5[1])(“TAY-oe-doer uh-DOER-noe”). For a book subtitled for these people, Arlie Hochschild (“HOKE-shihld”) interviewed many of them about pollution around Lake Charles, (*) Louisiana. According to moral foundations theory, these people have more parochial altruism and balance all six moral foundations instead of emphasizing care and fairness, as discussed in Jonathan Haidt’s (“HIGHT’s”) The Righteous Mind. For 10 points, name these people discussed in Thomas Frank’s What’s the Matter with Kansas, such as Kevin McCarthy. (0[1])■END■ (10[2]0[1])
