Download or read book Why Our Status Quo Failed and Is Beyond Reform written by Charles Hugh Smith and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-23 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our status quo-the pyramid of wealth and power dominated by the few at the top-has failed and is beyond reform. This failure is not rooted in superficial issues such as politics or governmental regulations; the failure is structural. The very foundation of the status quo has rotted away, and brushing on another coat of reformist paint will not save our societal house from collapse. Yet those who benefit from our status quo naturally deny it has failed, for the reason that it has yet to fail them personally-either pretending to not understand all unsustainable systems eventually collapse, or hoping to postpone it. The writing is on the wall for us to read: We are doing more of what has failed spectacularly. We are implementing emergency measures as permanent policies. We receive diminishing returns on status quo solutions. We suffer declining social mobility. We have a loss of social cohesion/shared purpose. Our status quo is not only failing to solve humanity's six core problems-it has become the problem. Since this failure is now inevitable, something is coming to replace it. It is urgent that each of us understand why our status quo has failed, and why the usual menu of reforms can't stop this failure, so we can prepare ourselves for the radical transformations ahead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1960, International Conflict in the Twentieth Century considers how to solve the problem of human relations for external affairs. Stepping back from the more common focus on "current affairs", the book explores in detail the processes and patterns of history, the principles that underlie foreign policy, the ethical issues involved in international affairs, and the role of Christianity in a time of global revolution. In doing so, it covers a variety of topics including morality, scientific approaches to politics, lessons from history, and human nature. International Conflict in the Twentieth Century will appeal to those with an interest in religion and politics, religious philosophy, and religious and political history.
Download or read book Violent Reverberations written by Vigdis Broch-Due and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions to this volume map the surprisingly multifarious circumstances in which trauma is invoked – as an analytical tool, a therapeutic term or as a discursive trope. By doing so, we critically engage the far too often individuating aspects of trauma, as well as the assumption of a universal somatic that is globally applicable to contexts of human suffering. The volume takes the reader on a journey across widely differing terrains: from Norwegian institutions for psychiatric patients to the post-war emergence of speech genres on violence in Mozambique, from Greek and Cameroonian ritual and carnivalesque treatments of historical trauma to national discourses of political assassinations in Argentina, the volume provides an empirically founded anti-dote against claiming a universal ‘empire of trauma’ (Didier Fassin) or seeing the trauma as successfully defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Instead, the work critically evaluates and engages whether the term’s dual plasticity and endurance captures, encompasses or challenges legacies and imprints of multiple forms of violence.

Book excerpt: In Goodbye, Status Quo, Dr. Joan Fallon equips her readers with the tools to be agents of change: as entrepreneurs, leaders, and individuals.

This book was released on 2021-01-30 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide for Over-50 entrepreneurs starting a business in 2021, even if they've never owned a business before. In a knowledge-based economy, "KNOWLEDGE" is the indispensable ingredient that transcends all industries to separate winners from losers. Fifteen Critical Insights For Business Owners Over Fifty is knowledge on steroids. Let's be honest. The "new normal" in the workplace started long before COVID-19. Mass downsizing started in the late '90s. Over 91,500 factories and six million US manufacturing jobs were lost to globalization and outsourcing. According to Forbes, 39,200 brick-and-mortar stores shut down. AI robots are now collecting bridge tolls, cleaning hotel floors, driving trucks, performing medical analysis, and picking stocks on Wall Street. Humans have been told to go home. Over-50 workers know the score. They (along with their big salaries, health benefits, and retirement packages) are at the top of the list to go home too. What is the solution? What can over-50 wage-earners do? The solution is simple: Find an unmet need. Meet the unmet need. Get paid for meeting the unmet need. Although the solution is simple, the execution is highly complex, full of pitfalls and booby traps, and according to the SBA, plagued by a failure rate of roughly 60%. Without the proper guidance, chances are, you're going to fail. FIFTEEN CRITICAL INSIGHTS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS OVER FIFTY is the game-changer that gives you a fighting chance. In this book you discover: How you, as a long-time wage-earner, must FIRST transform your mind. (Everything, absolutely everything having to do with decoupling from petty corporate politics and boss-pleasing activities, starts inside your head.) How your perceived disadvantages associated with age are really powerful advantages over younger competitors. (SBA stats say you have the upper hand.) How your subconscious is a brilliant, beautiful mechanism for failure. (For the sake of your success, happiness, wholeness, and healing, your subconscious will tell you a lie.) How your most trustworthy advisors have misled you about debt. How the entire marketplace is NOT open to your exploration. (Your work experiences, personality traits, and core competencies prohibit many market opportunities that others might find compatible.) How centuries of human evolution may cause your spouse to rebel against your entrepreneurial inclinations. How treating people the way Steve Jobs treated people will drive your new business into the ground. Truth is Knowledge that Empowers You... Columbus didn't discover America. There were no weapons of mass destruction. There are more than eight planets in our solar system. AND… You are NOT too old, too cash-strapped, too technology-deficient to start a successful business. Time to reset for the new normal. Let's GO!!! If you want critical, game-changing insight to start your business, click the add to cart button now.

Download or read book States Falling Apart written by Eva Maria Belser and published by Stämpfli Verlag. This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An increasing number of European countries are being faced with demands for greater autonomy or independence from regional groups. The legitimacy of nation states in Europe is thus being called into question not only by the forces of globalization and Europeanization from above, but also by growing pressure to recognize the autonomous or independent status of regional groups from below. From Scotland to Catalonia, from Flanders to South Tyrol, the movements vary in their intensity and demands, yet also have many commonalities. This book constitutes a compilation of papers presented at the international Conference "States Falling Apart? Secessionist and Autonomy Movements in Europe" at the University of Fribourg in 2013 and is a timely addition to the literature on secession, autonomy and federalism. With theoretical contributions and case studies, it presents a wide range of opinions and facts on these issues.
