Download or read book A Wife s Revenge written by D. D. Jensen and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-19 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There comes a time in every marriage when secret thoughts bring forth tough questions that eventually must be answered - questions that have surfaced in the mind many times before; only to be pushed back down inside where we ignore them out of fear of what our answer would be - if the truth were really told. Afraid of the impact complete honesty could have on our lives and those around us. So instead, we choose to hide these thoughts; only allowing ourselves to ponder them during moments of extreme arousal brought on by sexual fantasies of the most perverse nature. But, once in while, someone in a marriage will break the normal pattern and choose to admit the secret lusts of their heart - and are eager to finally act upon them - no matter the cost. "So you're saying that I just turned my husband into a Cuckold by threatening him with divorce if he didn't agree to abide by all of the rules and conditions that I set forth?" She asked proudly.

Download or read book Imagining Kashmir written by Patrick Colm Hogan and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016-10 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1947 partition of the Indian subcontinent, Kashmir—a Muslim-majority area ruled by a Hindu maharaja—became a hotly disputed territory. Divided between India and Pakistan, the region has been the focus of international wars and the theater of political and military struggles for self-determination. The result has been great human suffering within the state, with political implications extending globally. Imagining Kashmir examines cinematic and literary imaginings of the Kashmir region’s conflicts and diverse citizenship, analyzing a wide range of narratives from writers and directors such as Salman Rushdie, Bharat Wakhlu, Mani Ratnam, and Mirza Waheed in conjunction with research in psychology, cognitive science, and social neuroscience. In this innovative study, Patrick Colm Hogan’s historical and cultural analysis of Kashmir advances theories of narrative, colonialism, and their corresponding ideologies in relation to the cognitive and affective operations of identity. Hogan considers how narrative organizes people’s understanding of, and emotions about, real political situations and the ways in which such situations in turn influence cultural narratives, not only in Kashmir but around the world.

Download or read book Katsuno s Revenge and Other Tales of the Samurai written by Asataro Miyamori and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2006-04-07 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These eight compelling stories offer valuable insights into Japanese culture. Recounted by a distinguished scholar, they feature scenes from samurai life that embody the concept of Bushido, the "way of the warrior." Their portrayals of loyalty, romance, passion, and heroism offer a true reflection of the values of the Japanese knighthood. Largely fact-based, these fables originated among the traditional storytellers of Japan and were later adapted into romances and historical dramas. Asataro Miyamori, a professor of English at the Oriental University in Tokyo, drew upon authentic sources in compiling this volume, which first appeared in 1920. In the preface, Miyamori observed, "It is true the samurai class has gone forever along with feudalism; but fortunately or unfortunately the Japanese at large are samurai in a sense. . . . European civilization has revolutionized Japanese society, both for better and for worse. . . . yet it may safely be said that the sentiments, motives and moral principles of the samurai in some measure remain in the bedrock of their character, in their subconsciousness, so to speak. The Japanese of today are intellectually cosmopolitan, but emotionally they are still samurai to no small degree."

This constellation of psychopathology frequently is seen in clinical practice and often proves to be a difficult personality organization to treat.

Download or read book Speaking to History written by Paul A. Cohen and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient story of King Goujian, a psychologically complex fifth-century BCE monarch, spoke powerfully to the Chinese during China's turbulent twentieth century. Yet most Americans—even students and specialists of this era—have never heard of Goujian. In Speaking to History, Paul A. Cohen opens this previously missing (to the West) chapter of China's recent history. He connects the story to each of the major traumas of the last century, tracing its versatility as a source of inspiration and hope and elegantly exploring, on a more general level, why such stories often remain sealed up within a culture, unknown to outsiders. Labeling this phenomenon "insider cultural knowledge," Cohen investigates the relationship between past story and present reality. He inquires why at certain moments in their collective lives peoples are especially drawn to narratives from the distant past that resonate strongly with their current circumstances, and why the Chinese have returned over and over to a story from twenty-five centuries ago. In this imaginative stitching of story to history, Cohen reveals how the shared narratives of a community help to define its culture and illuminate its history.

Download or read book Building Terrorism Resistant Communities written by S. Ekici and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2009-08-12 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes the proceedings of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) 2008 Advanced Research Workshop (ARW). The goal of the meeting was to explore methods to involve the community in the fight against terrorism in an effort to enhance its protection from terrorist attacks and to establish a network between the participants for future collaborations. The two main topics of this book are: (1) Defining the problem of terrorism and collective community protection; why does terrorism exists and why do people join and/or support extremist groups? (2) Counter-terrorism practices and their relation to the community; focused on developing non-orthodox methods to combat terrorism. In other words, why communities should be included in the fight against terrorism. This book should be seen as a guide for policy makers and practitioners to gain a better understanding of how counter terrorism, as well as many other applications, requires community support and involvement to the fullest extent possible. Because the existing threat of terrorism is proof of the failed classical militaristic approaches, the time has come to integrate our communities into the practice of fighting the threat together.
