Download or read book We Need to Talk About Kevin written by Lionel Shriver and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiration for the film starring Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly, this resonant story of a mother’s unsettling quest to understand her teenage son’s deadly violence, her own ambivalence toward motherhood, and the explosive link between them remains terrifyingly prescient. Eva never really wanted to be a mother. And certainly not the mother of a boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much–adored teacher in a school shooting two days before his sixteenth birthday. Neither nature nor nurture exclusively shapes a child's character. But Eva was always uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood. Did her internalized dislike for her own son shape him into the killer he’s become? How much is her fault? Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with Kevin’s horrific rampage, all in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin. A piercing, unforgettable, and penetrating exploration of violence and responsibility, a book that the Boston Globe describes as “impossible to put down,” is a stunning examination of how tragedy affects a town, a marriage, and a family.

Download or read book The Human Lifestyle written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Leonard Matcas. This book was released on 1901 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is better to be in life, a prince or a pauper? A prince, certainly, since this is life, the tedious process of becoming a prince in life, or the tedious process of slowly modifying, adjusting, and improving your own lifestyle in order to achieve to live the life of a prince or princess, all done according to everyone’s living conditions. Since this is what everybody seems to do and desire throughout life, while slowly changing their life and lifestyle towards better, easier, richer, and more abundant living conditions. But is it good to be rich and have everything that you ever desire, or it is better to be poor and live a freer, denser, more unpredictable, more adventurous, and therefore more exciting life? Let us see, but who should ever decide your own lifestyle and living conditions, along with your own standards and meaning in life? And then, what exactly defines excitement, adventure, freedom, and fulfillment in life, along with all advantages and disadvantages of all lifestyles? Who exactly can tell what lives are better and what are worse, determining you now to adjust your own lifestyle matching whatever they assume that is best for you? Because it is your life, it is your lifestyle, and no one should control these, but you. Yet everybody does so, including authorities, hiding behind fancy words as democracy, recession, rights, chaos, evil, and criminality. And now, because of them, you have to live the lifestyle of someone else, it does not fit your own nature, needs, meanings, and fulfillment, while you never know what happens, just because you tend to associate lifestyles stereotypically with glamour, addicts, fashion, dictators, extraordinary wealth, and very important people. What can you do? Just learn everything about lifestyles in all details, and so you may design your own lifestyle as you please, in order to match your own meanings, needs, and desires in life. Because as long as princes are in control of this world and not paupers, then yes, princes will certainly control your life, along with your lifestyle and desires in life, as they please. And this is why being a prince will always be more desirable for you than being a pauper, while you might not even know it. This is what you seek and expect in life, but in vain, since you can never achieve it, because you are never allowed. And this is how you miss on everything else there is for you to witness and discover in life and in this world, since today, lack of money and lack of resources affect your life drastically, even causing you to stagnate or decay altogether. Because your development relates to your lifestyle, making possible your meaning, and therefore assuring your fulfillment, with an entire world focusing on addictions and social supremacy instead, altering the overall human lifestyle, while keeping the entire world unfulfilled. Throughout this book, we make an entire model of the human lifestyle, through empiric, cognitive, social, and higher perspectives, and then we run this model throughout a multitude of conditions, in order to identify and depict your current and envisioned lifestyles, adjusting them in a positive manner according to your needs, meanings, and fulfillment.

Download or read book The Human Development written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Leonard Matcas. This book was released on with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is more significant to develop in life, your mind or your body? Both are nice to privilege, maintain, and develop, since they are both important. And if this is the case, then why do you see people taking care only of their bodies? Why are you always more desirable in society through your bodily appearance and through your social influence than through your intelligence, creativity, and other cognitive abilities? Why can you not find in the media, entertainment, and in society people engaged in a continuous development, but remaining preoccupied with addictions, bodily needs, continuous servitude, and social competition? And now, if you had the chance to develop as intensely as you could, what exactly would you enhance the most? Because throughout life, people neglect to develop important aspects related to their mind and bodies, while privileging other activities instead, only because these happen to render them happier, more popular, and therefore more successful, in a stereotypical manner. But how exactly do you know how to develop? How can you even tell what is pertinent to do in life? You already know all the legal, moral, social, and religious beliefs and tendencies of what to do and how to behave and develop, but you cannot even follow them, or not entirely, since you have other things to do, as everybody else. And now, by engaging in all addictions, entertainment, and other irrelevant activities, you take away from your own development and fulfillment. If you can even identify your own meaning and fulfillment in life, besides what you see around. What can you do? Reason, at the third intelligent human level, through the extraordinary human mind, if you can ever understand the human mind in the first place. Because all knowledge provided to you consensually by the current science stands at the first, servitude, ideological level, while all physiological tendencies coming from the human body are at the second, animal level, remaining incompatible. You may still reason and develop through your human mind, yet you have to be able to identify and remove all irrelevant and harmful beliefs, stereotypes, and entire ideologies in order to be able to reason accurately. We notice now a discrepancy between people’s meaningful, adequate development, and the consensual behavior demanded by others and meant for servitude, indoctrination, and social acceptance, coming for stereotypical purposes. However, can you even define the adequate, the meaningful, and the proper human development and how this should take place? You can always trace it, if you can ever identify the actual accurate human meaning in life and in this world. This book studies the human development at cognitive, social, higher, and physical levels, in order to help you learn how to develop your mind, body, and intelligences along with all their cognitive abilities. This study is done from objective, cognitive, and behavioral perspectives, at the levels of your mind, body, higher self, and much more.
Download or read book A Woman First First Woman written by Selina Meyer and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hilarious parody memoir for the beloved Veep character portrayed for seven seasons by Emmy-winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Born and raised deep in the American heartland of God-fearing suburban Maryland, young Selina Eaton learned to love her country and her fellow man from her parents, Catherine, a sportswoman, dog lover, and philanthropist, and Gordon, or “Daddy” as she always called him, a businessman and entrepreneur. From an early age, Selina, an active, curious, happy-go-lucky child, showed an uncanny ability to relate to others and to solve their real-world problems with real-world solutions. In this she was inspired by her idol: feminist, humanitarian, stateswoman, and first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt maintained a lively relationship with many prominent figures of her time, including Adlai Stevenson, John F. Kennedy, Albert Schweitzer, and probably Pablo Casals. She inspired countless women to break out of the established roles for women in society, among them the pioneering aviatrix Amelia Earhart, with whom she flew several times. Dubbed the “Queen of the Air,” Amelia Earhart captivated the nation both with her bravery, skill, and daring when flying her planes and when challenging society’s hidebound attitudes as to what constituted a proper place for women. America mourned when she disappeared mysteriously somewhere in the Pacific during an attempted around-the-world flight in 1937. Speculation continues to this day as to Amelia’s ultimate fate, even as hope has faded that she may yet be found alive. With wit, wisdom, eloquence, and fearless honesty, Selina Meyer reveals for the first time what really goes on in the halls of power, including the ultimate hall, the White House. It’s all here: the triumphs, the tragedies, the personalities, and the momentous events that have shaped our times, brought together in a page-turning tale told as only Selina Meyer could tell it. Selina Meyer’s compassion, her sense of humor, her grace, and her uncommon willingness to bare her heart make this story revelatory, beautifully rendered, and unlike any other president’s memoir ever written. First Woman: A Woman First would be a fitting title for a book about Selina Meyer, Eleanor Roosevelt, or Amelia Earhart, but in this case, it is about Selina Meyer.

Download or read book English Learning in the Digital Age written by Shuang Zeng and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving beyond the ‘Web 2.0’ and ‘digital native’ rhetoric, this book addresses the complex experiences of learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) in a world embedded with interactive and participatory technologies. Adopting a sociocultural perspective, it investigates EFL learners’ behaviours concerning digital technology, and guides exploration into their contextually mediated choices and learning practices in the ‘2.0’ era. The argument is developed on the basis of the findings of a mixed sequential study that focused on 1485 Chinese undergraduates’ use and non-use of online tools and applications outside the English classroom. Particular attention is paid to the role of context and agency when understanding their learning choices and behaviours in the context of digital technology. In particular, the book acknowledges the explanatory power of agency in the minority instances of ‘good practices’ among these EFL learners. At the same time it demonstrates that for most learners, use of the current web is limited and mostly non-interactive. The barriers to ‘2.0’ transfer are largely contextual and the so-called ‘communicative opportunities’ and ‘participatory culture’ in particular did not fit into the learners’ sociocultural context of (language) learning. Overall, the compelling argument proposes that the technology-facilitated changes in EFL practices are a ‘bottom up’ process that is taking place in day-to-day situations and constrained by the learning context within which the learner is situated. Based on these arguments, the book provides a framework that challenges the existing beliefs about (language) learning with online technology, and that contributes to our understanding of how context mediates EFL learners’ behaviours surrounding digital technologies. It is a valuable resource for teachers, researchers and policy makers, providing them with insights into using digital technology to stimulate ‘good learning practices’ outside the classroom.
