Download or read book Conceiving Evil written by Wendy C. Hamblet and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it that permits us to see others as 'evil'? This book argues that it's our epistemological framework, which also resituates our own moral compass and reframes our moral world such that we can justify performing violent deeds, which we would readily demonize in others, as the heroics of eradicating evil. When conflict is understood positively as the confrontation of differences, an unavoidable and indeed desirable consequence of the rich tapestry of earthly life, then a discussion can open as to how to navigate the countless confrontations of difference in the most skillful way. Through this lens, violence comes into view as the least skillful means of responding to, and working with, difference, since violence tends to 'rebound' and leaves both victims and perpetrators worse off—shameful and vengeful. Philosopher Wendy C. Hamblet argues that the radically polarized and oversimplified worldview that sorts the phenomena of the world into 'good guys' and 'evil others' is a framework as old as human community itself, and one that undermines people's own moral infrastructure, permitting them to take up the very acts that they would readily demonize as 'evil' in others. One's own violent responses to the human condition come to be reframed from unskillful and undesirable actions to valiant heroic reactions. In short, those who see 'evil' in others are far more likely to do 'evil,' resorting to the least skillful means for navigating difference—violence. In theory, violence is demonized as 'evil' in popular and criminological discourse and calls forth 'rebounding' like responses in the form of acts of vengeance in individuals and punitive responses in state institutions. However, punishment is itself defined as an 'evil' inflicted by a legitimate authority upon a wrongdoer in compensation for a wrong done. This leads to the conundrum that the state, as much as the vigilante, must necessarily undermine its own legitimacy by taking up the very acts that it deems as evil in its enemies and punishes in its deviant citizens. By reframing conflict positively, Hamblet introduces a new way of thinking about difference that allows the reader to appreciate (rather than tolerate) difference as a desirable feature of a multicultural, multi-religioned, multi-gendered world. This resituates the discussion of conflict such that conflict response styles can be viewed as more and less skillful means of navigating impasses in a world of differences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get the Summary of Barbara Bisantz Raymond's The Baby Thief in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. "The Baby Thief" by Barbara Bisantz Raymond explores the dark history of Georgia Tann's adoption practices in Memphis. Tann, who ran the Tennessee Children's Home Society, was known for dressing children in fine clothes to make them more adoptable and was involved in the illegal sale of babies with the complicity of prominent Tennesseans. Her operation went unchallenged for 26 years until exposed as a baby seller. Tann's actions had lasting effects on the adoption institution and the lives of those affected, including siblings separated and sold to different families, and children who suffered from being taken from their birth parents. The book recounts the stories of adoptees like Peggy and Elizabeth Huber, who faced identity crises, and Barbara Davidson, who suffered sexual abuse. Raymond's research uncovers the far-reaching impact of Tann, with adoptees and their relatives across the United States searching for answers. The book also delves into the history of child care and the evolution of adoption practices, highlighting the societal shift towards secrecy in adoptions influenced by Tann's legacy. Raymond's personal connection to adoption as an adoptive parent herself adds depth to her investigation into Tann's corrupt practices and the ongoing battle for adoptees' rights to their identities.
