Download or read book Protege a tus hijos de la sobreexposici n en la red written by Natalia Díaz and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2024-09-04 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Por qué exhibimos a los menores en las redes sociales? ¿Hasta qué punto es peligroso compartir sus fotos en la playa o mostrarlos llorando en un vídeo que recibe miles de likes? ¿Cuáles son los riesgos de su adicción a las pantallas? Protege a tus hijos de la sobreexposición en la red es un libro imprescindible para conocer cómo afecta en la infancia y en la adolescencia el uso —y el abuso— de internet y los dispositivos móviles, vinculados a adicciones, graves trastornos de autoestima, aislamiento social, bullying y otras formas de acoso. Su autora, la conocida activista «Medianoche», alerta sobre el boom del sharenting y ofrece numerosos consejos y herramientas para detectar los peligros que conlleva y nos ayuda a proteger a nuestros hijos y a ser conscientes de nuestra responsabilidad como padres en la era digital. «Mis mejores momentos no tienen foto, simplemente los disfruté, pero si cierro los ojos puedo recordar hasta el olor del arroz que hacía mi abuela y la mano de mi abuelo dándole vueltas al mortero, mientras preparaba el mejor alioli que he probado jamás. No pretendo que volvamos atrás en el tiempo, soy consciente de que el mundo avanza y de que las nuevas tecnologías lo están cambiando todo. Solo pido que se proteja al menor de esta vorágine de exposición pública. Solo pido que dejemos a los niños fuera de este juego para adultos».

Book Engaging People in Sustainability

Download or read book Engaging People in Sustainability written by Daniella Tilbury and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

Book Nothing Holds Back the Night

Download or read book Nothing Holds Back the Night written by Delphine de Vigan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only a teenager when Delphine was born, Lucile raised two daughters largely alone. She was a former child model from a Bohemian family, younger and more glamorous than the other mothers: always in lipstick, wayward and wonderful. But as Delphine grew up, Lucile's occasional sadness gave way to overwhelming despair and delusion. She became convinced she was telepathic, in control of the Paris metro system; she gave away all her money; she was hospitalized, medicated, and released in a kind of trance. Young Delphine was left to wonder: What changed her, or what shaped her all along? In this brilliant investigation into her own family history, Delphine de Vigan attempts to "write her mother," seeking out something essential as she interviews aging relatives, listens to recordings, and reads Lucile's own writings. It is a history of luminous beauty and rambunctious joy, of dark secrets and silences. There are untimely deaths and failures of memory. There are revelations and there is the ultimately unknowable. And in the face of the unknowable, personal history becomes fiction: De Vigan must choose from differing accounts and fill in important gaps, using her writer's imagination to reconstruct a life. De Vigan writes her most expansive novel yet with acute self-awareness and marvelous sympathy. Nothing Holds Back the Night is a remarkable work, universally recognizable and singularly heartbreaking.

Download or read book Underground Time written by Delphine de Vigan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday Mathilde takes the Metro, then the commuter train to the office of a large multi-national where she works in the marketing department. Every day, the same routine, the same trains. But something happened a while ago - she dared to voice a different opinion from her moody boss, Jacques. Bit by bit she finds herself frozen out of everything, with no work to do. Thibault is a paramedic. Every day he drives to the addresses he receives from his controller. The city spares him no grief: traffic jams, elusive parking spaces, delivery trucks blocking his route. He is well aware that he may be the only human being many of the people he visits will see for the entire day and is well acquainted with the symptomatic illnesses, the major disasters, the hustle and bustle and, of course, the immense, pervading loneliness of the city. Before one day in May, Mathilde and Thibault had never met. They were just two anonymous figures in a crowd, pushed and shoved and pressured continuously by the loveless, urban world. Underground Time is a novel of quiet violence - the violence of office-bullying, the violence of the brutality of the city - in which our two characters move towards an inevitable meeting. 'Two solitary existences cross paths in this poignant chronicle, a new testimony to de Vigan's superb eloquence' Lire

Book Love Me Tender

    Book Details:
  • Author : Constance Debre
  • Publisher : MIT Press
  • Release : 2022-09-27
  • ISBN : 1635901758
  • Pages : 169 pages

Download or read book Love Me Tender written by Constance Debre and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel of lesbian identity and motherhood, and the societal pressures that place them in opposition. The daughter of an illustrious French family whose members include a former Prime Minister, a model, and a journalist, Constance Debré abandoned her marriage and legal career in 2015 to write full-time and begin a relationship with a woman. Her transformation from affluent career woman to broke single lesbian was chronicled in her 2018 novel Play boy, praised by Virginie Despentes for its writing that is at once “flippant and consumed by anxiety.” In Love Me Tender, Debré goes on to further describe the consequences of that life-changing decision. Her husband, Laurent, seeks to permanently separate her from their eight-year old child. Vilified in divorce court by her ex, she loses custody of her son and is allowed to see him only once every two weeks for a supervised hour. Deprived of her child, Debré gives up her two-bedroom apartment and bounces between borrowed apartments, hotel rooms, and a studio the size of a cell. She involves herself in brief affairs with numerous women who vary in age, body type, language, and lifestyle. But the closer she gets to them, the more distant she feels. Apart from cigarettes and sex, her life is completely ascetic: a regime of intense reading and writing, interrupted only by sleep and athletic swimming. She shuns any place where she might observe children, avoiding playgrounds and parks “as if they were cluster bombs ready to explode, riddling her body with pieces of shrapnel.” Writing graphically about sex, rupture, longing, and despair in the first person, Debré’s work is often compared with the punk-era writings of Guillaume Dustan and Herve Guibert, whose work she has championed. As she says of Guibert: “I love him because he says I and he’s a pornographer. That seems to be essential when you write. Otherwise you don’t say anything.” But in Love Me Tender, Debré speaks courageously of love in its many forms, reframing what it means to be a mother beyond conventional expectations.

Book Deconstructing Digital Natives

Download or read book Deconstructing Digital Natives written by Michael Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-04-19 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many attempts to define the generation of students who emerged with the Web and new digital technologies in the early 1990s. The term "digital native" refers to the generation born after 1980, which has grown up in a world where digital technologies and the internet are a normal part of everyday life. Young people belonging to this generation are therefore supposed to be "native" to the digital lifestyle, always connected to the internet and comfortable with a range of cutting-edge technologies. Deconstructing Digital Natives offers the most balanced, research-based view of this group to date. Existing studies of digital natives lack application to specific disciplines or conditions, ignoring the differences of educational fields and gender. How, and how much, are learners changing in the digital age? How can a more pluralistic understanding of these learners be developed? Contributors to this volume produce an international overview of developments in digital literacy among today’s young learners, offering innovative ways to steer a productive path between traditional narratives that offer only complete acceptance or total dismissal of digital natives.
