Download or read book Adult Supervision Required written by Markella B. Rutherford and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-03 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult Supervision Required considers the contradictory ways in which contemporary American culture has imagined individual autonomy for parents and children. In many ways, today’s parents and children have more freedom than ever before. There is widespread respect for children’s autonomy as distinct individuals, and a broad range of parenting styles are flourishing. Yet it may also be fair to say that there is an unprecedented fear of children’s and parents’ freedom. Dread about Amber Alerts and “stranger danger” have put an end to the unsupervised outdoor play enjoyed by earlier generations of suburban kids. Similarly, fear of bad parenting has not only given rise to a cottage industry of advice books for anxious parents, but has also granted state agencies greater power to police the family. Using popular parenting advice literature as a springboard for a broader sociological analysis of the American family, Markella B. Rutherford explores how our increasingly psychological conception of the family might be jeopardizing our appreciation for parents’ and children’s public lives and civil liberties.

But when she gets in trouble with the local motorcycle club, Sebastian turns out to be more than just a bouncer at the nightclub she waitresses at. Forced together to clean up the mess her ex created, she finds that opposites attract. And sometimes they’re combustible. But falling for the guy who holds her life in her hands would be a bad decision. Wouldn’t it? #romanticcomedy #motorcycleclub #singlemomromance #broodyhero #enemiestolovers #forcedproximity

Download or read book Addiction Reimagined Challenging Views of an Enduring Social Problem written by Leonard A. Steverson and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Addiction Reimagined: Challenging Views of an Enduring Social Problem” outlines the current issues in the field of substance use and addiction by thoroughly analyzing its history and other concerns such as diagnosis, treatment, and prevention measures, or the effect of addiction on the family and its connection to the criminal justice system. In this work, Professor Steverson calls for a reimagining of our past and current understandings of addiction and its role as a social, rather than a medical, problem. “Addiction Reimagined” provides a macro-level (i.e. sociological) approach to the examination of the processes and treatment modalities of addiction. This book will be valuable to those who are interested in addiction and the mental health system (people who have addiction problems or policy makers, for instance) as well as to practitioners in the field and people concerned about a failing system, and who would like to make it more functional. It will also be useful to university students undertaking courses such as The Sociology of Addiction or Sociology of Substance Abuse.
