Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is your boyfriend or husband unreasonably jealous? Fact: Every day 3 women die at the hands of an abusive partner in the USA. Fact: Physical abuse often goes hand in hand with jealousy. Many people mistake jealousy for an endearing display of affection without realizing it can be a sign of something more sinister. How do you know when jealousy has crossed the line from simple affection to unhealthy obsession? Can you fix it before it's too late? You may think jealousy is a natural part of being in love, or that jealousy is a man's way of showing how much he cares. But, what about when jealousy reaches such an extreme that you find yourself constantly under attack, accused of things you haven't done? Jealousy is a form of mental abuse. It may even escalate into physical violence. How can you tell if your relationship has reached the danger point? Knowing how to recognize abnormal behavior in your partner can save you from months, even years of mental anguish. It may even save your life. The Jealousy Game follows the cycle of abuse as it develops within a woman's relationship with a jealous man, starting with subtle little displays of jealousy and culminating in a struggle between life and death. It provides a list of common symptoms that appear when a relationship has progressed beyond what should be considered normal. If you recognize your own relationship in any of these scenarios, it is a sign that you should consider ending it before you become traumatized, injured or even killed. This book can be an eye-opening read for young women who are new to dating and a chilling walk down memory lane for those of us who have experienced jealousy first-hand. Dedicated to all survivors of domestic violence; and especially to the ones who did not survive.

Download or read book End of Upsetting Games written by Lucien Nzeyimana and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is not always a bowl of cherries. As the world we live in becomes more complex, we face new challenges, unforeseen and almost unimaginable only a generation ago. Yet for those living in oppression, little changes with time. Jacob Barak was born and raised in Burundi where Evildoers treated members of his tribe as immoral beings. Yet as a young boy, he was full of joy and optimism. As he grew and his horizons widened, he saw the injustice his people were subjected to. He witnessed firsthand soldiers and civilians pounding their country fellows with sledgehammers and rocks or stabbing them with butcher knives and bayonets. Soldiers and cops could just kill innocent people, burying many others alive. Some of the killers were his schoolmates, classmates, neighbors, or friends. Others were their parents or siblings. Victims were his relatives, friends, or just acquaintances; and they were of all ages. Professionals were the main targets of the Evildoers. Assailants and their victims had much in common. They were human beings, and they were Burundians. Most importantly, they were created in the same image of God. As innocent civilians, including his own family, were either killed or sent into hiding, Jacob strived to make a change. His life journey took him into many dangerous situations, escaping certain death on several occasions. He crossed the borders, lakes, and oceans to seek asylum in foreign countries, only to see that, once our basic needs are met, we will always strive for more, ultimately seeking peace and love. After struggling in numerous refugee camps, where he often slept under the open sky, Jacob had finally had enough. Now already an adult and a father, he was determined that his children would live a different life away from hatred and injustice. Still, by moving to Canada a land of living blue skies, as he liked to call it he did not find life a rose as he hoped. Thus, Nikita Chissocco, his childhood friend, seemed to be a dream come true. She epitomized the joy he had lost a link to his homeland, a friend, a lover, and a mother to his future children. Little did he know that she would only bring misery to his life. Always a free spirit, she soon brought his old enemies into his life, threatening his family but also his very life. Jacob decided to end the upsetting games by chasing demons from his house. And you, how far are you prepared to go in order to fulfill your dreams?
Download or read book The Power Play Decoding the Games Women Play in Relationships written by Charles Nehme and published by Charles Nehme. This book was released on with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When discussing the concept of "games" that women or men might play in relationships, it's essential to approach the topic with sensitivity and nuance. While these behaviors can indeed occur, they are not inherently tied to gender and can be exhibited by anyone. The idea of relationship "games" often emerges from miscommunication, insecurity, or a desire for control. It's important to understand that healthy relationships are built on trust, mutual respect, and clear communication. This list is not meant to perpetuate stereotypes but rather to shed light on certain behaviors that can hinder a relationship's growth. Recognizing these patterns can help individuals foster more honest and fulfilling connections. Here are ten such behaviors commonly discussed in this context: Playing Hard to Get: Feigning disinterest to make the other person work harder for attention. Testing Commitment: Creating scenarios to assess the partner's loyalty and prioritization of the relationship. Jealousy Traps: Involving others to evoke jealousy and gauge the partner's reaction. Mixed Signals: Alternating between affection and detachment to confuse the partner about their true feelings. Silent Treatment: Withdrawing communication as a form of punishment or manipulation. Mind Games: Employing psychological tactics to make the partner question themselves or feel insecure. Ultimatums: Forcing decisions by presenting the partner with an ultimatum to achieve a desired outcome. Playing the Victim: Acting wronged to gain sympathy or control in the relationship. Withholding Affection: Using affection or intimacy as a reward or form of control. Overanalyzing: Interpreting actions or words excessively, leading to unnecessary drama or conflict. These behaviors are counterproductive to healthy relationships and should be addressed through open and honest dialogue. By fostering a culture of mutual respect and clear communication, couples can avoid these pitfalls and build stronger, more resilient connections.
Download or read book Video Game Chronotopes and Social Justice written by Mike Piero and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Video Game Chronotopes and Social Justice examines how the chronotope, which literally means “timespace,” is an effective interpretive lens through which to understand the cultural and ideological significance of video games. Using ‘slow readings’ attuned to deconstruction along the lines of post-structuralist theory, gender studies, queer studies, continental philosophy, and critical theory, Mike Piero exposes the often-overlooked misogyny, heteronormativity, racism, and patriarchal structures present in many Triple-A video games through their arrangement of timespace itself. Beyond understanding time and space as separate mechanics and dimensions, Piero reunites time and space through the analysis of six chronotopes—of the bonfire, the abject, the archipelago, the fart as pharmakon, madness, and coupled love—toward a poetic meaning making that is at the heart of play itself, all in affirmation of life, equity, and justice.

Book excerpt: Like movies, television, and other preceding forms of media, video games are undergoing a dynamic shift in its content and perception. While the medium can still be considered in its infancy, the mark of true artistry and conceptual depth is detectable in the evolving styles, various genres and game themes. Doris C. Rusch’s, Making Deep Games, combines this insight along with the discussion of the expressive nature of games, various case studies, and hands-on design exercises. This book offers a perspective into how to make games that tackle the whole bandwidth of the human experience; games that teach us something about ourselves, enable thought-provoking, emotionally rich experiences and promote personal and social change. Grounded in cognitive linguistics, game studies and the reflective practice of game design, Making Deep Games explores systematic approaches for how to approach complex abstract concepts, inner processes, and emotions through the specific means of the medium. It aims to shed light on how to make the multifaceted aspects of the human condition tangible through gameplay experiences.

Download or read book Evolutionary Games with Sociophysics written by Jun Tanimoto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent applications of evolutionary game theory in the merging fields of the mathematical and social sciences are brilliantly portrayed in this book, which highlights social physics and shows how the approach can help to quantitatively model complex human–environmental–social systems. First, readers are introduced to the fundamentals of evolutionary game theory. The two-player, two-strategy game, or the 2 × 2 game, is presented as an archetype to help understand the difficulty of cooperating for survival against defection in common social contexts. Subsequently, the book explains the theoretical background of the multi-player, two-strategy game, which may be more widely applicable than the 2 × 2 game for social dilemmas. The latest applications of 2 × 2 games are also discussed to explore how integrated reciprocity mechanisms can solve social dilemmas. In turn, the book describes two practical areas in which evolutionary game theory has been applied. The first concerns traffic flow analysis. In conventional interpretations, traffic flow can be understood by means of fluid dynamics, in which the flow of vehicles is evaluated as a continuum body. Such a simple idea, however, does not work well in reality, particularly if a driver’s decision-making process is considered. Various dilemmas involve complex structures that depend primarily on traffic density, a revelation that should help establish a practical solution for reducing traffic congestion. Second, the book provides keen insights into how powerful evolutionary game theory can be in the context of epidemiology. Both approaches, quasi-analytical and multi-agent simulation, can clarify how an infectious disease such as seasonal influenza spreads across a complex social network, which is significantly affected by the public attitude toward vaccination. A methodology is proposed for the optimum design of a public vaccination policy incorporating subsidies to efficiently increase vaccination coverage while minimizing the social cost.

Book excerpt: In this fascinating analysis of the development, structure, and strategies of sports, Bell argues that games are an institution that not only reflect society but also mold society.

To Play the Game is both enlightening and entertaining, an original contribution to the growing scholarship on sports.
Download or read book Fields of Play written by Noel Dyck and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2012-10-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of children participate in community sports every year, enjoying recreation time with their peers, getting healthy exercise, and learning a variety of personal and group skills. At the same time, children's sports are not without controversy: parents can be overly invested in their children's exploits, competitive success is often the focus, and rising costs can limit participation. Consider, too, that these activities, billed as being for the kids, are often overlaid with other agendas by the adults who volunteer, work, and generally support children's sports. Noel Dyck incorporates nearly two decades of ethnographic field research into this anthropologically informed account that illustrates how all those involved in children's sports—boys and girls, parents, coaches, and sport officials—shape these complex, vibrant fields of play. In the process, he explores larger questions and debates about contemporary family and community and the shaping of childhood, youth, and adulthood. Bridging anthropology, sport studies, and childhood studies, Fields of Play offers a rich understanding of an area that has, to date, gained relatively little attention by social scientists.

Book excerpt: Does your partner's past obsess you? Do you want to know every detail, even if you know it will hurt you? Do you fill in the blanks with absurd imaginary scenarios? Do you sometimes think that you are going crazy? The answer to the above questions, although complex and often confusing, can be given in two words: Retroactive Jealousy. Feeling jealous is normal. No one is thrilled about their partner’s dating history; however, unlike the garden variety green-eyed monster, retroactive jealousy (RJ) describes an obsession or feelings of envy related to your partner’s past, typically around their previous romantic or sexual relationships. Do you feel like you are trapped in an endless loop of negative thoughts, mentally exhausted, drained and short of energy? Letting retroactive jealousy escalate can be harmful to your peace of mind and your relationship. I recommend that you read this book if: · You find yourself ruminating about your partner’s past: You might find yourself repeatedly thinking about your partner’s past and feeling envious of their previous partners. · You digitally stalk their ex: You are on a casual FB, Instagram or Tik Tok scroll when you see a vaguely familiar name put like or comment on your partner’s friend’s post. Before you know it, you get sucked in, you find yourself lurking on your partner ex’s profile trying to dig up all the information that you can. · You are always making comparisons: You might narrow in on a specific person your partner dated before you and compare yourself to them. · You doubt your partner: Jealousy can cause you to engage in unhealthy relationship behaviours such as checking up on your partner, doubting their word, or going through their phone.You may find yourself calling their friends or their workplace to check on their whereabouts, or reading their text messages to their ex. · You find yourself imagining missing details: If you are unaware of the details of your partner’s romantic history, it could be more enticing to imagine a more idealised version of their past. You might fear that your partner dated the most perfect, successful and beautiful people before you. RJ could be hell, you feel confused and misunderstood by your partner and friends. The good news? You can work through these feelings. Fortunately, there are methods in this manual to identify and interrupt dysfunctional patterns and cultivate new ones that are helpful and tailored to you. It is important to do this for yourself and your loved ones. You probably hate yourself for all those thoughts that obsess you, but before you start reading this manual I want you to be aware of three things: Everything you are experiencing is not ridiculous, you are not crazy, and you are not alone. There is a way out and it is an extremely liberating feeling. This book was written for you. Act now!
