Download or read book Towards Gender Equality in Law written by Gizem Guney and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book aims to find out how and why states in various regions and of diverse cultural backgrounds fail in their gender equality laws and policies. In doing this, the book maps out states' failures in their legal systems and unpacks the clashes between different levels and forms of law-namely domestic laws, local regulations, or the implementation of international law, individually or in combination. By taking off from the confirmation that the concept of law that is to be used in achieving gender equality is a multidimensional, multi-layered, and to an extent, contradictory phenomenon, this book aims to find out how different layers of laws interact and how they impact gender equality. Further to that, by including different states and jurisdictions into its analysis, this book unravels whether there are any similarities/patterns in how these states define and utilise policies and laws that harm gender equality. In this way, the book contributes to the efforts to devise holistic and universal policies to address various forms of gender inequalities across the world. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students in Gender Studies, Sociology, Law, and Criminology.

Download or read book Crianza Responsiva written by Dr. Boyd D. Brooks and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies five problem areas in parenting that, if left unchecked, will produce problems in adolescence. They are: a) Isolation b) Unrestrainedness c) no boundaries d) poor parental accessibility e) shame The antidote for all five are connection, self-control, good boundaries, accessibility to the parents, and the parents’ ability to mitigate shame in their children’s lives. One of the primary differences between families who enjoy each other and families who do not enjoy each other is the way they approach conflict. Reactive families do not possess the skills to resolve conflict, while responsive families do. All around us are adolescents who are isolated, with little self-control over their emotions. They easily get into trouble because of poor parental boundaries and subsequently experience shame. They do not have accessibility to their parents and do not know how to resolve their conflicts and confusion. Young parents can avoid these deadly pitfalls beginning at the toddler stage by parenting in a responsive way. They will raise children who know how to interact with others, control their emotions, respect and accept good boundaries, enjoy accessibility with their parents, and know how to mitigate shame when it occurs in their lives. The reactive family is literally going in circles. Their cyclical, reactive patterns include inattentiveness, misunderstanding, put downs, rejection, shame, and isolation. They can be disconnected, angry, and resentful. They are on an emotional merry-go-round and do not know how to get off. On the other hand, the responsive family has learned how to stop the cycle. They have employed listening, understanding, and clarification. When they apologize--it means something. When they forgive, they do not bring it up again. Instead of being rigid, they have learned to be flexible. They are connected and forgiving. As a result, they are emotionally strong and respectful of each other. They enjoy spontaneous moments in a mutually satisfying way. This book helps the reader identify deadly patterns that are draining the life out of their relationships and presents change as a real possibility. With the use of metaphors and word pictures, the reader can see both kinds of families, but also learn how to introduce change into their family--the kind of change that is not easy but is transformative. Parenting is a daunting task, especially if you’re young and inexperienced. Today many parents find themselves disconnected from their children and overwhelmed with a sense of helplessness. There are two basic approaches to parenting that can be used--reactive parenting and responsive parenting. Reactive parenting, so prevalent in today’s society, is done in reaction to something, whether a whining child or a parent’s own anxiety. It is impulsive and produces poor results. As more and more young people reach adulthood without an adequate model of self-regulation and conflict resolution, the more visible this problem becomes. On the other hand, Responsive Parenting, as described in Boyd’s book, is a principled approach to parenting. It emphasizes the importance of preparing children for adulthood. Responsive parenting is thoughtful and is in response to the child’s best interests. It takes the long view. It listens and clarifies. It apologizes and forgives. It is flexible and extends freedom with responsibility. It is accepting and affirming while being connected and supportive. Boyd Brooks shows readers through easy to understand biblical principles how to build self-esteem and confidence in their children and help them discover who they were meant to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En un entorno en el que lo único constante es el permanente cambio, las organizaciones se enfrentan a la necesidad de afrontar procesos de transformación que les permitan sobrevivir, especialmente en una situación de profunda crisis económica. Frente a las teorías que se centran en la modificación de estrategias, en la implantación de sistemas de base tecnológica, en la transformación organizativa, en nuevos sistemas de calidad, control o producción, este libro defiende que no se producirá el cambio en una organización si no se logra que las personas que la componen varíen su conducta cotidiana. José Manuel Gil proporciona ideas, métodos y herramientas para abordar la complejidad del cambio implantándolo con éxito en organizaciones empresariales, públicas y sociales, a partir de un detallado análisis de la taxonomía del cambio, realizado tras una investigación en la que han participado 83 empresas de diferentes tamaños y sectores.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -Uf! another advertising manual... -Yes, another manual. But this one is different. To with, with Plato's permission, it is a book written in the form of a question/answer, almost a conversation. With this we are going to try to make it a little more enjoyable and even put a spark of humor in it. But beyond the form, is a manual written by eight advertising professionals, professionals who have been working for years in their respective positions ... An advertiser's communications director, an advertising agency director, a creative director, a media director, an account director, a strategic planning director, an expert in advertising law and a creative innovation director tell us what their vision is of the work they do, the functioning of the agency and advertising in general. The advertising told by advertisers is, in addition to a tautology, an unorthodox manual academically speaking but very instructive of how they think, how they work and how they live advertising professionals.
