Book excerpt: The book explores the intricate concept of neutrality, dissecting its implications on critical social issues both at the individual and collective levels. It argues convincingly that while neutrality may seem fair and innocuous, it often unwittingly perpetuates injustice. Through meticulous analysis and diverse examples, the book vividly illustrates how neutrality, often mistaken for impartiality, can obstruct progress and worsen societal challenges. Core of the assertion is that individual neutrality fosters indifference, while collective neutrality sustains systemic injustice. It maintains that maintaining a neutral stance on pressing societal issues like racism, inequality, environmental degradation, and political discord only serves to uphold the existing inequities. The author compellingly demonstrates that in the face of wrongdoing, true neutrality does not exist; silence and inaction only empower those who perpetuate harm. Rather than advocating for thoughtless action, the book encourages readers to confront the uncomfortable reality that neutrality is a deliberate choice laden with profound consequences. It urges individuals to recognize their agency and the significant impact of their decisions. By challenging the notion of neutrality and emphasizing the responsibility inherent in individual and collective actions, the book empowers readers to actively participate in fostering a more just and equitable world, rejecting complacency in favour of meaningful change.

Download or read book Redefining Net Neutrality After Comcast V FCC written by Alexander Reicher and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critics sometimes describe James Joyce's modernist epic Ulysses as the most discussed, least read novel in the world. Net neutrality may be the most discussed, least understood concept in the world of internet policy. Consequently, the term has so many definitions advancing so many different goals that the net neutrality debate seems at times only about what net neutrality is, not why it should (or should not) be. The debate was reopened this past year with the D.C. Circuit's decision in Comcast Corporation v. Federal Communications Commission, which invalidated the FCC's jurisdiction over broadband internet service providers (ISPs), including its jurisdiction to enforce a policy statement of net neutrality principles. Although the court focused exclusively on Comcast's procedural challenge to the FCC's jurisdiction, the FCC and the policy community subsequently have engaged in a process of redrafting not only the jurisdictional basis but also the net neutrality principles themselves. In late December 2010, the FCC adopted a set of net neutrality rules for the first time through a formal rulemaking process - going beyond the general policy statement of net neutrality principles invalidated in Comcast by requiring transparency and forbidding most blocking and discrimination. This Note analyzes and affirms the importance of mandating full ISP transparency, as the FCC has done in this recent regulation. Given that ISPs will now be required to disclose whether they discriminate among content, services, and applications, this Note also proposes a two-step analysis to determine whether a given practice should be considered reasonable or unreasonable network management.

Excerpt: ... chapter 5 H1story Of Neutral1ty From 1861 To 1872 I. Recogn1t1on Of Bell1gerency. When the secession movement was threatening in the South and all the European powers, especially Great Britain, were closely watching its progress, Mr. Black, the Secretary of State, on February 28, 1861, strongly appealed to the European powers not to recognize the independence of the seceding States or to encourage their disunion movement. In his circular to the United States Ministers abroad he said, "It is the right of this government to ask of all foreign powers that the latter shall take no steps which may tend to encourage the revolutionary movement of the seceding States, or increase the danger of disaffection in those which still remain loyal."1 To this warning Lord Russell replied that England would be reluctant to take any step which might sanction the separation, but that he could not make any promise for England in an affair whose circumstances might vary.2 Mr. Seward, successor to Secretary Black, instructed the American Ministers abroad to the effect that any Confederate agent seeking for foreign intervention must be prevented from going abroad. In his circular of March 9, 1861, he said, "My predecessor instructed you to use all proper and necessary measures to prevent the success of efforts which may be made by persons claiming to represent those States of this Union in whose name a provisional government has been announced to procure a recognition of their independence by the government of Spain."3 During the early part of the year 1861, seven States of the Union formed themselves into a separate Confederation with a constitutional government completely organized. Actual hostilities commenced on April 12, 1861, with the bombardment of Fort...

Download or read book Cultural Heritage Ethics and the Military written by Peter G. Stone and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the ethical dilemma of whether, and how, archaeologists and other experts should work with the military to protect cultural property in times of conflict. The world reacted with horror to the images of the looting of the National Museum in Iraq in 2003 - closely followed by other museums and then, largely unchecked, or archaeological sites across the country. This outcome had been predicted by many archaeologists, with some offering to work directly with the military to identify museums and sites to be avoided and protected. However, this work has since been heavily criticised by others working in the field, who claim that such collaboration lended a legitimacy to the invasion. It has therefore served to focus on the broader issue of whether archaeologists and other cultural heritage experts should ever work with the military, and, if so, under what guidelines and strictures. The essays in this book, drawn from a series of international conferences and seminars on the debate, provide an historical background to the ethical issues facing cultural heritage experts, and place them in a wider context. How do medical and religious experts justify their close working relationships with the military? Is all contact with those engaged in conflict wrong? Does working with the military really constitute tacit agreement with military and political goals, or can it be seen as contributing to the winning of a peace rather than success in war? Are guidelines required to help define roles and responsibilities? And can conflict situations be seen as simply an extension of protecting cultural property on military training bases? The book opens and addresses these and other questions as matters of crucial debate. Contributors: Peter Stone, Margaret M.

Download or read book More Than a Body written by Lexie Kite and published by Houghton Mifflin. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drs. Lindsay and Lexie Kite know firsthand how hard filtering out media influence is when it comes to self-image. Both struggled as young women to overcome the expectations of body size and shape, but were able to learn to love, appreciate, and reclaim their own bodies, eventually earning their PhDs in body image resilience. The twin sisters founded the nonprofit Beauty Redefined and have made it their mission to help other women see themselves without societal expectations distorting their self-perception. More than a Body is a self-help book focused on going beyond body positivity, showing how a mindset focused on appearance sets women up for insecurities and self-judgement. In this book, they offer an action plan for readers to combat that mindset, and instead learn how the body can be "an instrument, not an ornament," with practical, actionable steps to take when consuming media, exercising, practicing self-reflection and self-compassion, and finding a purpose in life.

Download or read book Europe written by Rodney Leach and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2000 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students of the European Union have needed a succinct and comprehensive description of its many institutions, policies, laws and personalities. This need was also felt among politically conscious readers and researchers eager to understand better what many sensed to be a period of upheaval and change, and among students and teachers of modern history, politics, economics and international affairs who recognized the growing influence of the EU but lacked a general reference book on its activities and felt themselves unduly reliant on Community sources for information about controversial European questions. Now in its third edition, the Concise Encyclopedia of the European Union provides a thorough response to those needs - from Charlemagne's Aachen to Bismarck's Zollverein, via all the key modern-day institutions, people and ideas that anyone studying or dealing with the EU is likely to come across.

Download or read book Franklin Delano Roosevelt written by Conrad Black and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 1329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franklin Delano Roosevelt stands astride American history like a colossus, having pulled the nation out of the Great Depression and led it to victory in the Second World War. Elected to four terms as president, he transformed an inward-looking country into the greatest superpower the world had ever known. Only Abraham Lincoln did more to save America from destruction. But FDR is such a large figure that historians tend to take him as part of the landscape, focusing on smaller aspects of his achievements or carping about where he ought to have done things differently. Few have tried to assess the totality of FDR's life and career. Conrad Black rises to the challenge. In this magisterial biography, Black makes the case that FDR was the most important person of the twentieth century, transforming his nation and the world through his unparalleled skill as a domestic politician, war leader, strategist, and global visionary -- all of which he accomplished despite a physical infirmity that could easily have ended his public life at age thirty-nine. Black also takes on the great critics of FDR, especially those who accuse him of betraying the West at Yalta. Black opens a new chapter in our understanding of this great man, whose example is even more inspiring as a new generation embarks on its own rendezvous with destiny.

Download or read book Europe for the Europeans written by Christina Schori Liang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last two decades the number of political organizations on the far right, neo-populist right and neo-conservative right has been growing. Along with the mounting electoral success for many of the parties there has also been a growing disenchantment with the political class which has led to a revolt against the current political 'establishment'. The events of September 11, 2001 and the 'War on Terror' have further aggravated tensions within the populations between those who feel they are the 'legitimate' citizens of the state and those who are considered 'outsiders'. The recent expansion of the EU's borders has also brought on fears of a surge of both legal and illegal immigration. All these factors have led to a growing number of cases of harassment and outbursts of violence aimed at asylum seekers and ethnic minorities in Europe. This book measures the effects of neo-populist groups on the current political establishment and illustrates how much political appeal neo-populist views have on making current political policy.
