Download or read book Mentoring the Future written by Osbourne Murray and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human beings are interdependent. The journey from the womb to the tomb is threefold, as it is one of dependence, independence, and interdependence. Travelling this path, which is a complex, interwoven tapestry, requires the skillful navigation of a tour guide from beginning to end. The wise seek the advice of those who have gone before them and successfully negotiated the contours of the path; any attempt to travel without the aid and counsel of those who are more experienced and knowledgeable is neither prudent nor pragmatic. Compared to humans, the lower animals require less nurturing before they are weaned and become independent. Humans, conversely, take a relatively long time to reach physical and mental maturity. Indeed, it is interesting that some animals can protect and fend for themselves in a matter of days after their birth, while the development of similar abilities in human beings requires years. For humans, this is primarily a time of dependence and interdependence. During this phase, the human mind is trained to think, communicate, and respond to instructions. It is also during this period that we learn to understand the importance of relationships and the need to be interdependent. We recognize that no one individual has all the answers and that when we cooperate, increased productivity results, thereby enabling us to achieve more. The socialization process is the genesis of mentoring, as it is during the early and formative years that we learn not only to follow instructions but also to emulate the examples of senior family members. Notice that the first few years of the human’s life are thought of as formative, as this is the most impressionable period. During this time, mentoring is critical because the individual is in search of his or her identity while contending with the rapid changes occurring internally, as well as in the outside world. The aid of a wise and understanding counselor can be of significant help during childhood and throughout adolescence, and parents usually play this role. However, research has shown that the presence of other influential adults during this period can be very useful. In later years, the role of mentors may change, but the need for relationships and connections remain critical to the success of any future partnership, be it related to business, politics, family, or any other sociocultural endeavors. Mentoring is largely about building relationships and connections with the right people and places. Some of the most successful businessmen have benefited tremendously from being mentored. Richard Branson, for instance, stated, “If you ask any successful business person, they will always [say that they] have had a great mentor at some point along the road.” Additionally, three of the world’s wealthiest men—Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg—have all been mentored. Mentorship is a powerful tool for building interpersonal skills. However, the wisdom and benefits of employing it as a strategy for perpetuating a culture of excellence and preserving the integrity and heritage of any group, organization, or entity are yet to be envisioned by many, including leaders at every level and in every sphere of society. This book is about how you can shape your future and leave a legacy. It is important to recognize that the greatest investment you can make in this life is not in material possessions; rather, it is the investment of your time, talent, and experience in another human being. Your future will live on in what you pour into others, and in so doing, you will not only shape it for the better but will also contribute to making the world a better place.

Download or read book Prosecuting Maritime Piracy written by Michael P. Scharf and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses maritime piracy by focusing on the unique and fascinating issues arising in the course of domestic piracy prosecutions, from the pursuit and apprehension of pirates to their trial and imprisonment. It examines novel matters not addressed in other published works, such as the challenges in preserving and presenting evidence in piracy trials, the rights of pirate defendants, and contending with alleged pirates who are juveniles. A more thorough understanding of modern piracy trials and the precedent they have established is critical to scholars, practitioners, and the broader community interested in counter-piracy efforts, as these prosecutions are likely to be the primary judicial mechanism to contend with pirate activity going forward.

Download or read book Gangster Warlords written by Ioan Grillo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Without this testimony, we simply cannot grasp what is going on . . . Americans would do well to read [Gangster Warlords]." --The New York Times Book Review, Editor's Choice From the author of El Narco, the shocking story of the men at the heads of cartels throughout Latin America: what drives them, what sustains their power, and how they might be brought down. In a ranch south of Texas, the man known as The Executioner dumps five hundred body parts in metal barrels. In Brazil's biggest city, a mysterious prisoner orders hit-men to gun down forty-one police officers and prison guards in two days. In southern Mexico, a meth maker is venerated as a saint while enforcing Old Testament justice on his enemies. A new kind of criminal kingpin has arisen: part CEO, part terrorist, and part rock star, unleashing guerrilla attacks, strong-arming governments, and taking over much of the world's trade in narcotics, guns, and humans. What they do affects you now--from the gas in your car, to the gold in your jewelry, to the tens of thousands of Latin Americans calling for refugee status in the U.S. Gangster Warlords is the first definitive account of the crime wars now wracking Central and South America and the Caribbean, regions largely abandoned by the U.S. after the Cold War. Author of the critically acclaimed El Narco, Ioan Grillo has covered Latin America since 2001 and gained access to every level of the cartel chain of command in what he calls the new battlefields of the Americas. Moving between militia-controlled ghettos and the halls of top policy-makers, Grillo provides a disturbing new understanding of a war that has spiraled out of control--one that people across the political spectrum need to confront now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International crime and justice is an emerging field that covers international and transnational crimes that have not been the focus of mainstream criminology or criminal justice. This book examines the field from a global perspective. It provides an introduction to the nature of international and transnational crimes and the theoretical perspectives that assist in understanding the relationship between social change and the waxing and waning of the crime opportunities resulting from globalization, migration, and culture conflicts. Written by a team of world experts, it examines the central role of victim rights in the development of legal frameworks for the prevention and control of transnational and international crimes. It also discusses the challenges to delivering justice and obtaining international cooperation in efforts to deter, detect, and respond to these crimes.

Download or read book Votes Drugs and Violence written by Guillermo Trejo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most surprising developments in Mexico's transition to democracy is the outbreak of criminal wars and large-scale criminal violence. Why did Mexican drug cartels go to war as the country transitioned away from one-party rule? And why have criminal wars proliferated as democracy has consolidated and elections have become more competitive subnationally? In Votes, Drugs, and Violence, Guillermo Trejo and Sandra Ley develop a political theory of criminal violence in weak democracies that elucidates how democratic politics and the fragmentation of power fundamentally shape cartels' incentives for war and peace. Drawing on in-depth case studies and statistical analysis spanning more than two decades and multiple levels of government, Trejo and Ley show that electoral competition and partisan conflict were key drivers of the outbreak of Mexico's crime wars, the intensification of violence, and the expansion of war and violence to the spheres of local politics and civil society.
