The book capitalizes on real life experience through the depiction of three well-examined personal stories. It describes how the near extinction of generational and tribal mentorship has contributed to a warped picture of masculinity. Men ignore the powerful factors that influence them and this lack of insight prevents them from effectively moving forward. Father Deficit holds men accountable for understanding their identity and purpose, so theyre equipped to develop into the powerful, purposeful and valuable individuals they were created to be.

Download or read book Fathers on Film written by Katie Barnett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-06 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The father is an enduring and iconic figure in Hollywood cinema and in the 1990s, narratives of redemptive fatherhood featured prominently in some of the decade's most popular films like Kindergarten Cop (1990), Mrs Doubtfire (1993), Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lion King (1994). Interpreting such films through the lens of feminist and queer theory, along with masculinity studies and psychoanalysis, Katie Barnett offers an insightful and interdisciplinary discussion of cinematic fathers. Barnett reveals that the father figure is often portrayed as one that invests in and is part of a discourse of reproductive futurism. This plays out across a range of genres including rom-coms, fantasy, sci-fi, drama, and disaster. By exploring both blockbuster and more low-budget films of the 1990s, Barnett explores the figure of the father against the crisis of masculinity in the United States, and indeed more globally, at this time.

Download or read book Misery Traps written by Sharon Washington and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I believe that the Family Safety Net Act could be to raising kids in America what the Civil Rights Movement is to minorities. The legislation will mandate that every fit parent have equal access to their kids—automatic joint custody, co-parenting is insufficient—with the best interests of the child at the heart of the legislation, regardless of the status of the relationship of the parents, with primary custody initially granted to the mother. No more fathers begging to see their kids. It’s time. The key is fit. The adults must have the capacity to parent free of drug abuse, emotional abuse, and physical abuse and to establish a home that is free of such maltreatment. It is time. In addition, since America is about enterprise—working to support self and family and fulfilling dreams within the legal framework of this country—the parents and our educational institutions must model that behavior so every student steps into adulthood with a plan to support themselves, for the only way we will triumph over this nebulous future is to launch with the genuine love and support of as many friends and family we can muster together and to have the confidence from preparation to work and/or pursue dreams. I am for kids.
Download or read book Substitute Parents written by Gillian Bentley and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a comparative perspective, human life histories are unique and raising offspring is unusually costly: humans have relatively short birth intervals compared to other apes, childhood is long, mothers care simultaneously for many dependent children (other apes raise one offspring at a time), infant mortality is high in natural fertility/mortality populations, and human females have a long post-reproductive lifespan. These features conspire to make child raising very burdensome. Mothers frequently defray these costs with paternal help (not usual in other ape species), although this contribution is not always enough. Grandmothers, elder siblings, paid allocarers, or society as a whole, help to defray the costs of childcare, both in our evolutionary past and now. Studying offspring care in a various human societies, and other mammalian species, a wide range of specialists such as anthropologists, psychologists, animal behaviorists, evolutionary ecologists, economists and sociologists, have contributed to this volume, offering new insights into and a better understanding of one of the key areas of human society.
Download or read book Laws of Transgression written by Peter Goodrich and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laws of Transgression offers multiple perspectives on the story of Daniel Paul Schreber (1842–1911), a chamber president of the German Supreme Court who was institutionalized after claiming God had communicated with him, desiring to make him into a woman. Schreber was not only a successful judge, but was also to become the author of one of the most commented upon texts in psychiatric literature, Memoirs of My Nervous Illness. Published in 1903, this remarkable work documented Schreber’s visions, desires, jurisprudence, and theology. Far from ending the judge’s legal investments, it manifested an intensification of engagement with the law in the attempt to prove that becoming a woman did not deprive the judge of legal competence. Schreber’s experience of bodily change and his account of interior life has been the subject of more than a century of psychoanalytic and medical scrutiny. With the contemporary trans turn, interest in the judge’s desire to become a woman has intensified. In Laws of Transgression, Peter Goodrich, Katrin Trüstedt, and contributing authors set out to unfold Schreber’s complex relation to the law. The collection revisits and rediscovers the Memoirs, not only in its juridical and political implications, but as a transgressional text that has challenged law and heteronormativity.

Book excerpt: The Hundred Billion Dollar Man The hundred billion dollar man. No, he's not a new superhero with bionic limbs who can run through walls and is more powerful than a locomotive. The hundred billion dollar man is the personification of the annual cost of absentee fathers to American society. That was the conclusion of a 2008 report written by Christopher Einolf and the late Steven Nock for the National Fatherhood Initiative. The greatest plague to ever hit this country: it is the root cause for the greatest psychological, physical, emotional, mental, and social devastation in the history of the world. The disease is Father Deficiency. It goes beyond just being fatherless but also includes fathers who were present yet absent. Considered by most Americans the number-one social ill in the country, the devastation can be seen in the following statistics about fatherless homes compiled by the Department of Justice. 63 percent of youth suicides are from fatherless homes. 90 percent of all homeless and runaway youths are from fatherless homes. 85 percent of children who exhibit behavioral disorders are from fatherless homes. 71 percent of high school dropouts are from fatherless homes. 70 percent of youths in state institutions are from fatherless homes. 75 percent of adolescent patients in substance abuse centers are from fatherless homes. 85 percent of rapists motivated by displaced anger are from fatherless homes. 71 percent of teenage pregnancies are to children of single parents. U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services Nearly 75 percent of American children living in single-parent families will experience poverty before they turn eleven. National Fatherhood Initiative A must read for every person who was reared without a father or didn't receive everything he or she needed from a father, this book is for every leader, teacher, and especially those who deal with youth.

Download or read book The Chronically Poor in Rural Bangladesh written by Pk. Md. Motiur Rahman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines rural poverty in Bangladesh. Based on detailed empirical research and surveys of households in Bangladesh, it provides an accurate portrait of the everyday situations faced by the rural poor in Bangladesh today, covering all aspects of household behaviour. All of the key issues are explored, including health, nutrition, housing conditions, human capital, household asset and liabilities, gender issues, livelihood strategies, distribution of household income and expenditure, social capital, intergenerational mobility of the chronically poor, women’s mobility, shocks and coping strategies, and vulnerability to poverty. The book focuses in particular on the poorest of the poor households, the chronically poor, seen by many in the development community to be the core of the problem of poverty. It shows that the basic characteristics of the chronically poor households in rural Bangladesh are: more heavily female-headed households, higher dependency ratio of children in demographic composition, and dominated by lower levels of assets, shorter years of schooling and limited employment opportunity. Throughout, it draws precise conclusions on the basis of quantitative data, which makes this book an important resource for policy-makers and development practitioners, as well as students and researchers.
