Book Only Fools Deny Women   S Empowerment

Download or read book Only Fools Deny Women S Empowerment written by Leon Duplan and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel describes how for centuries women have been submitted to various mistreatments and discriminations by men and that unfortunately many of them still prevail today. The goals of women today are directed to fight for their freedom, and to displace men from the pedestal where they have lived for a long time. On May 16, 2010, the same date when Richard Solaris is informed of his fathers death, Pope Leon XVII died in Rome, and one cardinal and two bishops were kidnapped. As well, two car bombs exploded, one in Shanghai China, and another in New Delhi, killing and injuring several innocent people. Richard Solaris travels to Los Angeles in California to find out the real reason for his fathers death. The detective Samuel Lewis of the Los Angeles Police Department believes behind his fathers death can be an international organization, so he transfers the case to the Transnational Intelligence Police Agency (TIPA), where his friend Raymond Sullivan holds the position of General Director. Sullivan designates as responsible for the investigation an unmarried experienced detective of name Albert Colliere, who has solved all his cases except one, the crash of a plane where the Secretary of State of France has died. Coming back from Los Angeles Richard recalls the letter his father left for him with the promise not to open until his demise. Opening the letter Richard is aware of facts that not only put his fathers integrity in doubt, but served to Colliere as the first clues to discover a womens organization, whose leaders were two women who in their youth suffered from mistreatment and discrimination by men, and that made the promise to destroy mens supremacy and helped women to climb into the ecclesiastical power always they say deserved by her. Colliere draws an ingenious plan to infiltrate in their organization a nun as a spy. What was found becomes shocking and terrifying.

Book Women and Human Development

Download or read book Women and Human Development written by Martha C. Nussbaum and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-03-13 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this major book Martha Nussbaum, one of the most innovative and influential philosophical voices of our time, proposes a kind of feminism that is genuinely international, argues for an ethical underpinning to all thought about development planning and public policy, and dramatically moves beyond the abstractions of economists and philosophers to embed thought about justice in the concrete reality of the struggles of poor women. Nussbaum argues that international political and economic thought must be sensitive to gender difference as a problem of justice, and that feminist thought must begin to focus on the problems of women in the third world. Taking as her point of departure the predicament of poor women in India, she shows how philosophy should undergird basic constitutional principles that should be respected and implemented by all governments, and used as a comparative measure of quality of life across nations.

Book A Fool s Guide to Wisdom

Download or read book A Fool s Guide to Wisdom written by Richard G. Myatt and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paradox is present when the opposite of what one expects to be true, is true. The capacity to see paradox is the prerequisite to becoming wise. It is expressed when the weak become strong, those who lose their life find it, and the disheartened find the Lord who uses those "things that are not-to nullify the things that are (1 Corinthians 1:28 NIV)." This work demonstrates paradox in health, medicine, business, organizational leadership, cultural myths related to the family, the symptomatic solutions common in political and social structures, and in the spirituality expressed by people of faith. As the former director of an adolescent rehabilitation facility, the author has a keen awareness of the devastation caused by the failures of this generation. Clear and concise recommendations demonstrate the small changes that create enormous differences. We will discover that wisdom begins when we 'fear the Lord' and have 'knowledge of the Holy One.' The wise see paradox, but not because they look for it. Their openness of thought leads to a perception that life is an interaction of complex systems and ideas that truly transcend us all. Those with the God-given capacity to integrate knowledge, emotion, and faith will, in the end, find wisdom. Rick Myatt is a licensed psychotherapist with an extensive history. From building an orphanage in a war-torn country to becoming the director of an adolescent psychiatric rehabilitation facility, his experience includes crisis intervention, treating sexual addictions, and caring for children victimized by the murder of parents and child prostitution. With Masters Degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and in Theology, he has also completed all Ph. D. coursework in Family Sociology. He currently specializes in organizing his community to detect and prevent workplace violence.

Book Fool s Errand

  • ISBN : 1548650218
  • Pages : 412 pages

Download or read book Fool s Errand written by Scott Horton and published by The Libertarian Institute. This book was released on 2017 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "After more than a decade and a half, the results are in. The U.S. government has been unable to achieve its goals in Afghanistan. Even worse, what state it has been able to achieve there is completely unsustainable and certain to fall apart when the occupation is finally called off, and America does come home. The politicans, generals, and intelligence officers behind this unending catastrophe, who always promise they can fix these problems with just a little bit more time, money and military force, have lost all credibility. The truth is America's Afghan war is an irredeemable disaster. It was meant to be a trap in the first place. America is not only failing to defeat its enemies, but is destroying itself, just as Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda always intended. Fool's Errand is an attempt to present the American people with the reality of this forgotten war, because only the ignorance of pride and refusal to admit they have been deceived can prevent Americans from realizing they have supported a policy that is destructive to the United States as well as Afghanistan." -- from Introduction.

Book Human Security and Empowerment in Asia

Download or read book Human Security and Empowerment in Asia written by Mely Caballero-Anthony and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-26 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this edited volume revisits the framework of human security and development. It examines the protection-empowerment nexus as applied to various vulnerable groups and populations affected by the pandemic. While the conventional human security literature has focused on top-down protection, this book offers new perspectives on human security by exploring bottom-up empowerment from both theoretical and practical perspectives. It also encourages readers to rethink the agency of vulnerable people in addressing the challenges posed by the pandemic. Through eight case studies from Southeast Asia and Japan, the contributors to this book demonstrate the importance of empowerment in achieving human security. They focus on the responses of vulnerable groups and communities to multiple threats to their lives, livelihoods, and dignity. The chapters discuss key human security concerns, such as poverty, the environment, food, forced migration, gender, health, aging, peace, and justice – all of which have been compounded and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. An essential resource for students and scholars of human security in the aftermath of COVID-19 and its wider impacts.

Book Negotiating Privately for an Effective Role in Public Space

Download or read book Negotiating Privately for an Effective Role in Public Space written by Hiranmayee Mishra and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the outcome of interdisciplinary research investigating female participation in politics in rural India. The participants were all rural and mostly illiterate women who dared to explore the public space by entering into grassroots political institutions as a result of the quota introduced in 1992. This ruling stipulated that ‘no less than one third of the seats’ in India’s rural political units, the Panchayats, were to be filled by women, and created a social revolution in the countryside of India. The book presents an interesting investigation into about how women representatives negotiated their new roles by converting the strong patriarchal set-up in India into a support system for their new endeavour. This is an interesting work on women in local political institutions, and reveals the gradual social and economic empowerment of women through gender quotas in politics.

Book Empowering the West

  • Author : Jay L. Brigham
  • Publisher : Development of Western Resources
  • Release : 1998
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 232 pages

Download or read book Empowering the West written by Jay L. Brigham and published by Development of Western Resources. This book was released on 1998 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Westerners were at the forefront of the debate over electric power development even before the construction of large, federally owned dams in the 1930s. At the heart of this debate was a conflict between public power advocates and the private utility industry over control of the environment, a struggle that was played out in the political arena. In this book, Jay Brigham describes that rivalry in the West in the years before the New Deal. Focusing on the conservative city of Los Angeles and its liberal counterpart Seattle - as well as on several small towns in the Midwest - Brigham shows how fierce battles broke out as private and public systems competed for customers and how, despite the differences between these two cities, public power ultimately triumphed in each.
