Download or read book Casualties of Indulgence written by Phoebe Lee and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-12 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1972 more than 40 million legal abortions have been performed in the United States. Of these, a vast number of young girls below the age of 19 have been privy to the heart-wrenching circumstances leading to an unwanted pregnancy and its subsequent termination. The author, Pheobe Lee, born the year America legalized abortion, shares the tragic details leading up to her own personal experience with abortion at age fourteen. And, the pain and denial following her many years thereafter. After providing an account of these tragic events, she gives the reader an in-your-face look at the politics and finances revolving around abortion today. Concluding many so-called pro-life proponents are just as guilty of perpetuating the great number of unnecessary abortions as their pro-choice rivals. Casualties of Indulgence not only defines the millions of innocent's lost to abortion as the casualties but also clearly shows how our behavior as a society victimizes our younger generation for the sake of our own indulgences. An easy yet fulfilling read bound to create many questions among all sides of the debate.
Download or read book Greater Expectations written by William Damon and published by Free Press. This book was released on 1996-08-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greater Expectations is the book that exposed the low standards that children are confronted with in our homes, our schools, and throughout our culture. It exploded many of the misconceptions about children and how to raise them, including the cult of self-esteem, "child-centered" learning, and other overly indulgent practices that have been watering down the education and guidance that we are providing our young people. It disclosed how the self-centered ethic is damaging our youth. Greater Expectations started America talking about these issues and about how young people need to be provided with challenges and a sense of purpose if we want them to survive and thrive in life. Provocative and challenging, Greater Expectations was a wake-up call, a must-read for anyone concerned about the growing youth crisis in America and what we can do about it.

Download or read book Casualty of War written by Luisa Lang Owen and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-19 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not all casualties of war die on the battlefield. In the wake of World War II, Yugoslavia purged its territory of the ethnic Germans who had formed a part of its human mosaic. Tarred with their ethnic origins and the conscription of their fighting-age men into the Waffen SS, the Volksdeutsche, as these settlers were called, were rounded up at the war's end and herded into concentration camps. Those who were not murdered or did not die from the harsh conditions were expelled from the village homes their families had known and loved for three hundred years. Nine years old when she entered the concentration camp in 1945, author Luisa Lang Owen survived the persecution of the Danube Swabians, eventually finding herself in America, where she made a new life for herself, a life that nonetheless held within it the memories and lessons of the atrocities she had experienced in her homeland. Like thousands of other Germans in the Danube Valley at the end of the war, Luisa and her family were chased from their home, lodged in a sheep stall, and resettled in camps with other Germans from her village. Shorn of their possessions, given little food or fuel, pressed into hard labor, beaten by guards, and separated from their families, many despaired and many died. Luisa barely survived as others succumbed to malnutrition, disease, and exposure. Her haunting memoir provides a window into the ethnic cleansing that preceded the recent exterminations in Bosnia and Kosovo by fifty years—an episode of horrors that has not appeared as even a footnote in descriptions of the more recent atrocities practiced in that region. Her testament, as a casualty of war, bears historic witness and gives insight into the personal experiences of ethnic cleansing. It stands as witness to a massive crime that has been conveniently forgotten, a corrective to a bit of neglect that did away with its victims as a people, and a personal depiction of what ethnic cleansing is really about. “The problem was not just that they did not want us to have or to be,” Luisa Lang Owen writes, “they wanted us not to have been.”
Download or read book Athletes Who Indulge Their Dark Side written by Stanley H. Teitelbaum and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-12-21 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading psychologist explores the phenomenon of athletes across the sports world who engage in high-risk behavior that often destroys lives, bodies, and reputations. From sex and drugs to violence, gambling, and wholesale conspiracies, scandals are everywhere in sports. Each of these problems is its own issue, and every case is separate, but taken as a whole this criminal pathology is indicative of a widespread problem with athletes and responsibility. In this wide-ranging and deep-seeking investigation, psychologist Stanley H. Teitelbaum asks why elite athletes take enormous risks with their lives and careers. Teitelbaum analyzes and diagnoses this culturally resonant set of problems with an honest, critical eye, looking at everything from baseball's steroid abusers to gambling scandals in the NBA to the steady stream of athletes arrested for domestic violence to the murder trials of O.J. Simpson and wrestler Chris Benoit. A concluding chapter holds sports commissioners and others to task for hiding behind a façade of ignorance and duplicitous naïveté in attempting to cover up or defuse brewing scandals.

Download or read book The First Casualty written by Phillip Knightley and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2004-10-05 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first casualty when war comes, is truth," said American Senator Hiram Johnson in 1917. In his gripping, now-classic history of war journalism, Phillip Knightley shows just how right Johnson was. From William Howard Russell, who described the appalling conditions of the Crimean War in the Times of London, to the ranks of reporters, photographers, and cameramen who captured the realities of war in Vietnam, The First Casualty tells a fascinating story of heroism and collusion, censorship and suppression. Since Vietnam, Knightley reveals, governments have become much more adept at managing the media, as highlighted in chapters on the Falklands War, the Gulf War, and the conflict between NATO and Serbia over Kosovo. And in a new chapter on the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Knightley details even greater degrees of government manipulation and media complicity, as evidenced by the "embedding" of reporters in military units and the uncritical, openly patriotic coverage of these conflicts. "The age of the war correspondent as hero," he concludes, "appears to be over." Fully updated, The First Casualty remains required reading for anyone concerned about freedom of the press, journalistic responsibility, and the nature of modern warfare.
