Download or read book Am I a Redundant Human Being written by Mela Hartwig and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aloisia Schmidt is an ordinary secretary with a burning question: am I a redundant human being? She's neither pretty nor ugly (though she wishes she were hideous: at least that would be something), has no imagination, and is forced to live vicariously through "borrowed" fantasy--fantasy, that is, borrowed from books, plays, even other people's lives. She loves to hate herself, and loves for other people to hate her too. In one final, guilt-ridden, masturbatory, self-obsessed confession, Aloisia indulges her masochistic tendencies to the fullest, putting her entire life on trial, and trying, through telling her story (a story, she assures us, that's "so laughably mundane" it's really no story at all), to transform an ordinary life into something extraordinary.

Book excerpt: Our world is one that despises and dehumanizes women. Women are given a false identity and treated like they are less than human. It will be an impossible task to attempt to list the number of abuse women suffer worldwide. They are actually seen by men as objects of abuse and tools to be used and abandoned. However, in this book, the author GodGift Obi argued that women are equally humans and are created with specific purpose and life's calling. In this book you will learn1. Why women are treated as less humans by society and how to put an end to it.2. Ways by which every woman can break the limitations that society has placed on the female gender.3. Why it is better to live a life of purpose than just being a housewife and a child-bearing machine.4. The role of women in national development.5. Types of women abuse and how to say no to them.6. How you can dominate and do exploits in any given sphere of influence in life.7. Practical ways on how you can discover your life's purpose as a woman.8. How every man should relate with his wife at home and vice versa.9. The power and strength of a woman10.The next generational woman and what the world should expect. It is ignorance for any woman to consider herself as a less human just because society said so. I do not care how much you know or how much wisdom you think you have, until you discover your real worth and know exactly who you are, you really do not know anything. You are a woman, yes. But you are also a human!
Download or read book I AM Tetranthropos a conscious human being written by Alfred M.R. GROFF and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Groff gives us practical ways and exercises that help us become more completely who we are, not only as individuals but collectively as whole societies. Today, the global nature of the many problems that confront us highlight the inadequacies of our present culture and its institutions. This demands from us, both deeper levels of introspection, and an outer transformation of our society and economy, locally and globally. Groff points the way to both, giving us the personal tools to act inside ourselves and the political tools to act outside in wider society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading what Thomas Jefferson said in the Declaration of Independence--"All Men Are Created Equal"--and the Constitution of the United States, framed and adopted in 1787 and put into effect in March 1789, I want to know if those fundamental laws and principles that are supposed to govern the operation of our states are annulled for people of color. I wrote this book because I needed to say this again and out loud. I want to know if anyone is listening. Are we going to continue to ignore these laws and principles written to govern the United States by our forefathers? If so, please reconsider. We are the people of these United States. We are citizens made equally by our God.

Download or read book Why I Write written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times
Download or read book The Nature of Human Persons written by Jason T. Eberl and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a shared nature common to all human beings? What essential qualities might define this nature? These questions are among the most widely discussed topics in the history of philosophy and remain subjects of perennial interest and controversy. The Nature of Human Persons offers a metaphysical investigation of the composition of the human essence. For a human being to exist, does it require an immaterial mind, a physical body, a functioning brain, a soul? Jason Eberl also considers the criterion of identity for a developing human being—that is, what is required for a human being to continue existing as a person despite undergoing physical and psychological changes over time? Eberl's investigation presents and defends a theoretical perspective from the thirteenth-century philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas. Advancing beyond descriptive historical analysis, this book places Aquinas’s account of human nature into direct comparison with several prominent contemporary theories: substance dualism, emergentism, animalism, constitutionalism, four-dimensionalism, and embodied mind theory. These theories inform various conclusions regarding when human beings first come into existence—at conception, during gestation, or after birth—and how we ought to define death for human beings. Finally, each of these viewpoints offers a distinctive rationale as to whether, and if so how, human beings may survive death. Ultimately, Eberl argues that the Thomistic account of human nature addresses the matters of human nature and survival in a much more holistic and desirable way than the other theories and offers a cohesive portrait of one’s continued existence from conception through life to death and beyond.

However, Afghan women have shown great courage and bravery throughout history and have fought side by side with men for the cause of truth. I am proud that my grandma (a women's rights activist) was also among these brave women and played her part in her homeland for the sake of freedom and equality.

Download or read book Golem Girl written by Riva Lehrer and published by One World. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vividly told, gloriously illustrated memoir of an artist born with disabilities who searches for freedom and connection in a society afraid of strange bodies “Golem Girl is luminous; a profound portrait of the artist as a young—and mature—woman; an unflinching social history of disability over the last six decades; and a hymn to life, love, family, and spirit.”—David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas WINNER OF THE BARBELLION PRIZE • FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY KIRKUS REVIEWS What do we sacrifice in the pursuit of normalcy? And what becomes possible when we embrace monstrosity? Can we envision a world that sees impossible creatures? In 1958, amongst the children born with spina bifida is Riva Lehrer. At the time, most such children are not expected to survive. Her parents and doctors are determined to "fix" her, sending the message over and over again that she is broken. That she will never have a job, a romantic relationship, or an independent life. Enduring countless medical interventions, Riva tries her best to be a good girl and a good patient in the quest to be cured. Everything changes when, as an adult, Riva is invited to join a group of artists, writers, and performers who are building Disability Culture. Their work is daring, edgy, funny, and dark—it rejects tropes that define disabled people as pathetic, frightening, or worthless. They insist that disability is an opportunity for creativity and resistance. Emboldened, Riva asks if she can paint their portraits—inventing an intimate and collaborative process that will transform the way she sees herself, others, and the world. Each portrait story begins to transform the myths she’s been told her whole life about her body, her sexuality, and other measures of normal. Written with the vivid, cinematic prose of a visual artist, and the love and playfulness that defines all of Riva's work, Golem Girl is an extraordinary story of tenacity and creativity. With the author's magnificent portraits featured throughout, this memoir invites us to stretch ourselves toward a world where bodies flow between all possible forms of what it is to be human. “Not your typical memoir about ‘what it’s like to be disabled in a non-disabled world’ . . . Lehrer tells her stories about becoming the monster she was always meant to be: glorious, defiant, unbound, and voracious. Read it!”—Alice Wong, founder and director, Disability Visibility Project

There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say.
