In NINETEEN, she conjures the curiosity and flavor of a personal journal left open in a teenager¹s room. In its direct approach, NINETEEN reveals the key events that teenagers face at this monumental time in their lives as experienced by Chelsea Krost. While many teens are struggling with typical angst from cat fights to cliques, many others are dealing with the downside of the advanced technological world we live in. From sexting to cyber bullying, self esteem to depression; body image, mean girls and boy trouble, Chelsea sheds light on the millennial mindset and its ever changing challenges and lightning speed curve balls. Starting with the voice of a budding adolescent, to a 16-year-old who created her own radio talk show, Teen Talk Live, Chelsea evolves into the voice of reason for a generation of teens and beyond. Chelsea grows up from chapter to chapter, sharing her journey in poignant and playful scenarios. NINETEEN takes you on a humorous and insightful trip through her teenagehood, the intense final teen year, (the inspiration behind the book¹s title,) and into adulthood and the shift she undergoes to embark on a life fueled by service to others throughout the world.

Download or read book Morality and the Human Goods written by Alfonso Gómez-Lobo and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2001-12-18 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise and accessible introduction to natural law ethics, this book introduces readers to the mainstream tradition of Western moral philosophy. Building on philosophers from Plato through Aquinas to John Finnis, Alfonso Gómez-Lobo links morality to the protection of basic human goods — life, family, friendship, work and play, the experience of beauty, knowledge, and integrity — elements essential to a flourishing, happy human life. Gómez-Lobo begins with a discussion of Plato's Crito as an introduction to the practice of moral philosophy, showing that it requires that its participants treat each other as equals and offer rational arguments to persuade each other. He then puts forth a general principle for practical rationality: one should pursue what is good and avoid what is bad. The human goods form the basis for moral norms that provide a standard by which actions can be evaluated: do they support or harm the human goods? He argues that moral norms should be understood as a system of rules whose rationale is the protection and enhancement of human goods. A moral norm that does not enjoin the preservation or enhancement of a specific good is unjustifiable. Shifting to a case study approach, Gómez-Lobo applies these principles to a discussion of abortion and euthanasia. The book ends with a brief treatment of rival positions, including utilitarianism and libertarianism, and of conscience as our ultimate moral guide. Written as an introductory text for students of ethics and natural law, Morality and the Human Goods makes arguments consistent with Catholic teaching but is not based on theological considerations. The work falls squarely within the field of philosophical ethics and will be of interest to readers of any background.

Download or read book Nineteen written by Ancco and published by Drawn and Quarterly. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[Ancco’s] stories liberate us to be what we are: friends, artists, monsters, mothers, human beings."— The Globe and Mail At nineteen, the idea that you have your whole life ahead of you with endless possibilities can leave you terrifyingly stiff. Throwing mobility to the wind, you dull yourself with booze. The grown-ups around you are stunted by their own failures so they act out—with alcohol, too, sometimes with violence. What was once the hope of youth quickly spirals into powerlessness and malaise as the days trickle by. Ancco expertly renders the moment of suspension between the desire to grow up and the fear that accompanies it. Autobiography blends with fiction in these coming-of-age stories about people reckoning with their place in their community and women coming to terms with other women. A boy living with HIV tries to decide how he’s going to tell his parents—or whether he should tell them at all. A mother puts pressure on her daughter to pass her exams, and the stress drives them both to drink, fueling a toxic relationship with a lot of care just below the ugly surface. Another girl keeps getting bruises, but who’s inflicting the damage—herself or a loved one? And dogs—seemingly the only ones capable of unconditional love—offer some reprieve. In Nineteen, Ancco delivers a cutting panorama of contemporary Korean society that’s much darker than one might expect, while also brimming with life and the vitality of youth.

Download or read book At Home in the World written by Joyce Maynard and published by Picador. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author of Labor Day With a New Preface When it was first published in 1998, At Home in the World set off a furor in the literary world and beyond. Joyce Maynard's memoir broke a silence concerning her relationship—at age eighteen—with J.D. Salinger, the famously reclusive author of The Catcher in the Rye, then age fifty-three, who had read a story she wrote for The New York Times in her freshman year of college and sent her a letter that changed her life. Reviewers called her book "shameless" and "powerful" and its author was simultaneously reviled and cheered. With what some have viewed as shocking honesty, Maynard explores her coming of age in an alcoholic family, her mother's dream to mold her into a writer, her self-imposed exile from the world of her peers when she left Yale to live with Salinger, and her struggle to reclaim her sense of self in the crushing aftermath of his dismissal of her not long after her nineteenth birthday. A quarter of a century later—having become a writer, survived the end of her marriage and the deaths of her parents, and with an eighteen-year-old daughter of her own—Maynard pays a visit to the man who broke her heart. The story she tells—of the girl she was and the woman she became—is at once devastating, inspiring, and triumphant.

This book was released on 2016-10 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California Dreaming is about my journey to America for higher studies in 1961 and my difficult first 2 years. On the way I had a wonderful shipboard romance with Kavita, a tall Indian woman. We parted in Italy and we were heartbroken. Before we could meet in America she had to rush back to India because Grandmother had a heart attack. Later she visited with her mother. The highlight was her trying on a bikini. What a beautiful sight--voluptuous breasts, curvy body, long legs! It was huge turn-on and later we enjoyed passionate lovemaking. Love of my life could not stay and had to return to India. I wondered if I would see her again. College in Indiana was great, but I could not handle snow and California was calling! Driving there in an old car was adventurous. Discrimination was high against a turbaned Sikh. No decent jobs were available to me. Finally I got a job at a packinghouse. It was hard keeping my head above water while studying at Fresno State. Where is Kavita? Are we destined to be together?
