Book excerpt: Expanding on the works of Jacques Ellul, Noam Chomsky, Upton Sinclair, and many others, Lattice of Lies investigates a power structure that controls through a divided media system of propaganda. Due to an onslaught of disinformation, there is an urgent need for media literacy. By taking a closer look at the media model and history of propaganda, the reader will have a deeper understanding of the forces that desire to divide and indoctrinate the American people. By exploring narrative construction, the reader can better decode the deceptions and counter the political playbook. While Machiavelli aided the prince in his quest for power, Lattice of Lies serves the people in their defense against tyranny. Other highlights: -The suppression of information has allowed an imperialistic and rogue military to operate unchecked. -Divide and Rule: How political leaders strategize to divide the populace, so that the people cannot challenge the power structure. -Behind the illusion of pluralistic power lies a plutocracy that relies on propaganda to deter populist takeover. -The divided media model ensures that different facts and narratives produce two warring factions. -How the power structure co-opted the rise of populism by providing fake populists to take their place. -Examining the powerless masses and their inability to cope with pollution, inflation, endless war, and inequality. -Providing a vision for how the people can cross the bridge toward a sustainable and humane future.

Download or read book Seeing Politics written by Sophie Harman and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual politics and the aesthetic turn in international relations have emphasized the power of the image in world politics. Postcolonial and decolonial feminist theory shows the urgent need to rethink research and teaching methods. What happens when these concepts converge and such thinking is translated into practice? Engaging with a broad range of topics – the politics of everyday life, health, HIV/AIDS, Africa, post-colonialism, gender/feminist theory, visuality, film, and method – in Seeing Politics Sophie Harman looks at scholars who are pushing the boundaries of how they do research, how they communicate their research to a broader audience, and what counts as scholarship in world politics. Through a detailed exploration of the political process of film production, from inception and co-production to distribution and exhibition, she addresses the tricky transnational relationships, government gatekeeping, and global hierarchies of film governance that control and marginalize the stories and people we see. Fundamentally, Seeing Politics is about how narrative feature film challenges and advances the discipline of international relations, revealing aspects of politics that would otherwise remain unseen and unaddressed. Film is not just a way of communicating research. It is a method that produces research and visibility, advancing research practice and knowledge in international relations. Innovative and compelling, this book is about the politics of seeing, being seen, and what stops us from seeing.

Download or read book The T Rex Task Force written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The T-Rex Task Force The Summary of this story: In the beautiful country of Dinotopia, a group of brave and smart T-Rexes put together the T-Rex Task Force. They worked hard to protect their fellow dinosaurs and keep the peace in the country. A smart and honorable T-Rex named Rex led them. Rex put together a team of T-Rexes with different skills, like Stella, a good tracker with a good nose, Spike, a strong and kind T-Rex, Luna, a T-Rex with great eyesight, and Zara, a genius at solving problems. Rex's T-Rex squad includes Stella, Spike, Luna, and Zara. The T-Rex Task Force had to deal with a lot of problems, like getting dinosaurs out of cages and stopping a strange illness that was making herbivorous dinosaurs sick in Dinotopia. They overcame these problems by using the unique skills of each team member while still working as a unit. This showed how well unity and teamwork can work. No one took their brave efforts for granted in any way. As a result of the T-Rex Task Force's success, which became a sign of cooperation and peace in Dinotopia, other dinosaur species also started their own task forces. Rex and his team gave the new task groups a warm welcome, giving them advice and letting them use their skills and experience. With the help of several task teams working together, a network of security and support was set up. This made sure that all dinosaurs in the area were healthy and safe. As time went on, peace was kept in Dinotopia. The T-Rex Task Force and the other allied task forces kept doing their good work of protecting the monarchy and spreading love and peace across the land. They went on to become famous figures who taught the next generations of dinosaurs to look out for and care for each other, as well as the importance of unity, bravery, and working together for the greater good. When the story of the T-Rex Task Force was told for the first time, it made all kinds of animals want to work together and help each other outside of Dinotopia. Their unwavering determination to work together changed the environment of the dinosaurs, making them feel more connected and dependent on each other. The legacy of the T-Rex Task Force lived on in the thoughts and deeds of every dinosaur that lived in the area. Their story became a beloved part of Dinotopia's common memory, and it was told from one generation to the next to show how important it is to work together, be brave, and have a bigger goal in mind. As long as the T-Rex Task Force kept an eye on things, Dinotopia did well. It turned into a place where dinosaurs lived together happily and in harmony, where problems were solved by talking and understanding each other, and where cooperation and working together were the most important things. The T-Rex Task Force's brave deeds were just the start of their power. Their story moved people from other places and species, which led to a chain effect of more people getting to know each other and working together. The kingdom was a good example for other communities to follow. This gave people hope and pushed many different species to work together to make the world a peaceful and harmonious place. Dinotopia did well for many generations, in large part because of the rules that the T-Rex Task Force set up. The story of their bravery and kindness was told for hundreds of years, telling dinosaurs that they had the power to make the world a place of peace, harmony, and kindness. The trip of the T-Rex Task Force was more than just a story of bravery and daring. It was a great example of how coming together, working as a team, and always looking out for the greater good can completely change a situation. When dinosaurs put aside their differences and worked together, they made a world where teamwork and peace were the norm. Their story would be written indelibly into Dinotopia's past, and every time it was read, it would remind people of this fact. The Story Starts: There was a time when the T-Rex Task Force was made up of a unique group of dinosaurs who lived in Dinotopia. A special group of T-Rexes used to live in the big, busy land of Dinotopia. They were known as the real guards of their fellow dinosaurs because they were loyal and took their jobs seriously. This group of T-Rexes did exist. These magnificent monsters, full of bravery and smarts, came together to make this powerful T-Rex Task army. This famous army worked hard to keep the peace and make sure everyone in the kingdom was safe. They showed what it means to be humble and work together. They knew that the strength of their group was incomparably greater than what any one person could do on their own. The T-Rex Task Force did everything they could to reach their goal. They were driven by a strong, deep desire to save the lives of their fellow dinosaurs. They cared a lot about the kingdom, and they didn't mind giving up anything to protect the area from both clear and hidden threats. All of the people who lived in Dinotopia felt peaceful and calm because they took care of the land all the time. Because its members were smart and good at noticing things, the T-Rex Task Force was able to figure out everything there was to know about their surroundings. They were aware of how fragile nature's balance was, and their presence was a bright spot in the chaos that sometimes swept across the land. Because they were naturally wise and able to see what was going on, they were able to stop fights from getting worse and help people reach quiet agreements. Still, their brave actions best showed what the T-Rex Task Force was all about. When people were in danger, they acted with courage and put their own lives in danger to save others. Smaller animals were afraid of them because of how big and strong they were, but they were only used to guard the weakest members of their own species. They showed the passion and effort needed to do a good job by saving dinosaurs that got stuck in rough terrain and by protecting themselves from dangerous predators. In addition to their physical strength, members of the T-Rex Task Force had kind hearts. They learned that keeping the peace took not only strength, but also understanding and compassion from everyone. They listened to the problems of their fellow dinosaurs and tried to make them feel better, as well as lending a hand when needed. Those who were in danger felt better knowing that T-Rex Task Force troops were walking around the country. They knew that these brave monsters would do anything to keep them safe. People all over Dinotopia respected and admired them for how hard they worked to keep others safe. They became the best examples of what it means to be a hero, inspiring young dinosaurs to try to be great and use their special skills to help the community where they lived. The T-Rex Task Force left a legacy that has lasted through the years. Their story has been told from one generation to the next as a reminder that courage, honesty, and working together can lead to great power. In Dinotopia's history, the name of the T-Rex Task Force has been a sign of hope, a reminder that even when things are hard, there are people who step up to protect and serve. In other words, the name of the T-Rex Task Force is a tribute to those who go above and beyond to protect and serve. Their unwavering dedication and drive to keep the kingdom calm left an indelible mark and helped make Dinotopia a peaceful and successful realm in the future. The T-Rex Task Force will always be known as an example of bravery and selflessness. They showed what it means to be a true protector of all species, no matter how big or small. Rex was the head of the T-Rex Task Force. He was a great leader known for his knowledge, honor, and unwavering bravery. He was the very definition of being strong and elegant. Only Rex's big heart and smart mind could match his tall stature. Because he cared deeply about justice and was very aware of his duties, he put together a powerful Task Force of T-Rexes, each with its own set of skills and abilities, and trained them to protect the kingdom. Rex was a good leader because he was able to see what made each person on his team special and use that to his advantage. He had a good eye for talent, and he chose the most skilled and accomplished T-Rexes himself. He did this to make sure that each member added something of value to the group.

Download or read book New Directions in Criminological Theory written by Steve Hall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection brings together established global scholars and new thinkers to outline fresh concepts and theoretical perspectives for criminological research and analysis in the 21st century. Criminologists from the UK, USA, Canada and Australia evaluate the current condition of criminological theory and present students and researchers with new and revised ideas from the realms of politics, culture and subjectivity to unpack crime and violence in the precarious age of global neoliberalism. These ideas range from the micro-realm of the ‘personality disorder’ to the macro-realm of global ‘power-crime’. Rejecting or modifying the orthodox notion that crime and harm are largely the products of criminalisation and control systems, these scholars bring causes and conditions back into play in an eclectic yet thematic way that should inspire students and researchers to once again investigate the reasons why some individuals and groups elect to harm others rather than seek sociability. This collection will inspire new criminologists to both look outside their discipline for new ideas to import, and to create new ideas within their discipline to reinvigorate it and further strengthen its ability to explain the crimes and harms that we see around us today. This book will be of particular interest to academics and both undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field of criminology, especially to those looking for theoretical concepts and frameworks for dissertations, theses and research reports.
