Download or read book Poor bashing written by Jean Swanson and published by Between The Lines. This book was released on 2001 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The special language of poor-bashing disguises the real causes of poverty, hurts and excludes people who are poor, cheapens the labour of people who have jobs, and takes the pressure off the rich. Swanson, a twenty-five year veteran of anti-poverty work, exposes the ideology of poor-bashing in a clear, forceful style. She examines how media "poornography" operates when reporters cover poverty stories. She also reveals how government and corporate clients use poor-bashing focus groups. To make the book even more useful Swanson includes key chapters on the history of poor-bashing.

Download or read book Charity Management written by Sarah Mitchell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain faces challenges that weren’t imaginable thirty years ago, challenges which charities, rooted as they are in community action and the public good, should be ideally suited to tackle. But the charity sector seems paralysed. Even after a decade of cuts and immense social and environmental disruption charities are still fighting hard to maintain business as usual. To develop new responses to our changing world the charity sector desperately needs to reinvent itself, radically re-engaging with communities and developing powerful and scalable responses to the challenges facing the UK in the coming decades. What are the ties that bind charities, rendering them unable to re-invent themselves and to re-imagine their services, even when they face existential crises? This book explores how charities in the UK really operate, as seen through the eyes of people who work in and with charities, and investigates what holds charities back from change. It demonstrates what we can learn from entrepreneurship and market disruption in the private sector, and points to ways in which the sector can re-imagine what it does and how it does this. It presents a new ambition for charities to break free of their history and imagine a new role for themselves in shaping the future for our society. Presenting a new ambition for charities to imagine a new role for themselves in shaping the future for our society, this volume is especially valuable for academics and professionals in the fields of charity and non-profit management, organisational change, and strategic management.

She works in the Silver Stone office, he’s one of the ranch owners. Friends is the only option.

Download or read book Bloody Jungle Rain written by M. J. Earle and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most compelling and thought-provoking Vietnam stories ever told begins with an explosion that seriously injures Corporal James Morrison. At first he wonders why he's lying on his back and it's raining on a sunny day. Then he realizes it isn't rain coming down, but human blood. Bloody Jungle Rain explores what happens to the reluctant Marine who was wounded in 1968. His brush with death brings Morrison to an operating room and a near-death experience that changes his life forever. The wounded Marine faces Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, alcoholism and a broken marriage. Yet through his maze of problems there runs a thread of determination and the hope of finding a peaceful harbor. Sadly though, peace was difficult to find for many Vietnam veterans returning home to an unsympathetic public. This story about courage by Colorado native M.J. Earle was written to remember a childhood friend killed in Vietnam. The author says it proves that it is possible to overcome horrendous problems as long as there is faith and hope in the human heart.
