Description
The new book by František Koukolík, Gossip, is intended for a broader audience and deals with the most common and widespread human activity throughout all times and places. A society in which people do not talk about others who are not present or do not know they are being talked about has yet to be found. Children aged eight to twelve begin to fully understand what gossip is. Women and men gossip equally often, but the subjects of their communications differ. In the text of the book, we learn how gossip arises, what its relationship is to our emotions, how and when children start gossiping, what the differences are in female and male gossiping, what gossips exist in organizations, how scientists gossip, and how social networks contribute to gossiping, among which the dark sides include the spread of negative, stigmatizing, and false gossip. The conclusion of the book is dedicated to celebrities, who live off gossip just as the media that create and destroy these celebrities do. There is no defense. Just one ancient wisdom: Silence is golden.
