Auf der Suche nach dem moralischen Kompass. Wo sind sie alle, wenn es darum geht, Flagge zu zeigen? Wenn die Zeit gekommen ist, zu dem zu stehen, was noch vor nicht allzu langer Zeit vollmundig verkündet wurde? In der Republik der Feiglinge geht der moralische Kompass schneller verloren, als Wahlversprechen gebrochen werden. Warum das so ist? Versuch einer Diagnose. Feigheit ist keine zeitgenössische Erfindung. Alte Kulturen sahen den Feigling als – übel beleumundete – Randfigur der Gemeinschaft.

Why I Care is a deeply personal and impactful memoir-cum-manifesto, drawing on Ed’s own profound experiences as a carer and those of countless others he has encountered. Through a blend of heartfelt storytelling, in-depth interviews, and thoughtful analysis, Ed sheds light on the often-invisible world of carers and issues a clarion call to society to recognize, support, and lift up the millions of carers who form the backbone of our communities.

In this persuasive and powerful manifesto, Neil Mercer, Professor of Education at Cambridge and Director of the Oracy Centre, calls for oracy to have an equal footing alongside literacy and numeracy: students should leave school not only as readers and writers, but as accomplished speakers and listeners. With warmth, clarity and insight, he demonstrates how oracy education has nothing to do with “speaking posh”, or eliminating style, slang and regional accents, but instead empowers people to find and express their unique voice.
