Download or read book The Blame Game written by Christopher Hood and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blame game, with its finger-pointing and mutual buck-passing, is a familiar feature of politics and organizational life, and blame avoidance pervades government and public organizations at every level. Political and bureaucratic blame games and blame avoidance are more often condemned than analyzed. In The Blame Game, Christopher Hood takes a different approach by showing how blame avoidance shapes the workings of government and public services. Arguing that the blaming phenomenon is not all bad, Hood demonstrates that it can actually help to pin down responsibility, and he examines different kinds of blame avoidance, both positive and negative. Hood traces how the main forms of blame avoidance manifest themselves in presentational and "spin" activity, the architecture of organizations, and the shaping of standard operating routines. He analyzes the scope and limits of blame avoidance, and he considers how it plays out in old and new areas, such as those offered by the digital age of websites and e-mail. Hood assesses the effects of this behavior, from high-level problems of democratic accountability trails going cold to the frustrations of dealing with organizations whose procedures seem to ensure that no one is responsible for anything. Delving into the inner workings of complex institutions, The Blame Game proves how a better understanding of blame avoidance can improve the quality of modern governance, management, and organizational design.
Download or read book The Mother Blame Game written by Vanessa Reimer and published by Demeter Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mother-Blame Game is an interdisciplinary and intersectional examination of the phenomenon of mother-blame in the twenty-first century. As the socioeconomic and cultural expectations of what constitutes “good motherhood” grow continually narrow and exclusionary, mothers are demonized and stigmatized—perhaps now more than ever—for all that is perceived to go “wrong” in their children’s lives. This anthology brings together creative and scholarly contributions from feminist academics and activists alike to provide a dynamic study of the many varied ways in which mothers are blamed and shamed for their maternal practice. Importantly, it also considers how mothers resist these ideologies by engaging in empowered and feminist mothering practices, as well as by publicly challenging patriarchal discourses of “good motherhood.”

Download or read book The Political Blame Game in American Democracy written by Mark Hickson and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They Started It! looks at the forces that have developed over the past 50-plus years and created a dysfunctional political system in the United States. It argues that the current level of partisan polarization is actually the culmination of a number of forces at work during the past few decades. These include a perception by each party that the other is using unfair political tactics, the subsequent creation of a culture of blame with each party blaming the other for the dysfunction, a decline in political norms leading to childlike behavior by politicians and political candidates, and a culture of payback in which the opposition argue their opponents are responsible for the decline. These four factors culminated in the 2016 presidential campaign, where they were exemplified by the campaign of Donald Trump, and they have continued to have a significant ongoing impact on the political landscape of the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Why don’t board members do what they’re supposed to do?” Board members not meeting performance expectations is one of the most challenging issues faced by nonprofit organizations and causes considerable frustration among nonprofit leaders—and they usually place the blame on board members.

Download or read book The Blame Game written by Joseph Duvert and published by . This book was released on 2018-06 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blame game is about the role that God, Satan and human plays in the world today. It is very easy to put all or most of the blame on God when things go sour. After all, God is the creator of everyone and everything, so they say. God is also sovereign which means that He is in control and in charge of everyone and everything, so they say. Is God really the creator of everyone and everything? Is he really in control and in charge of everyone and everything? And is God the one to be blamed for everything bad that occurs in the world today? God is never the one to be blamed for anything bad that happens in the world today. He is not because he is not the one in charge or in control of everyone and everything. First, God gives every single person "free will"; people have to be accountable for their decisions and their actions. Last, Adam gave the devil (Satan) power and authority over the world (1John 5:20). Stop blaming God for everything that goes wrong in your life or in your world. Someone may say, I don't blame God or say how do I blame Go? We blame God when we say that everything that happens is His will. It is either He does it or He let it happen for a reason. Whether He does it or He let it happen, He is the one to be blamed if He is in charge or in control of everyone and everything. The BLAME GAME will prove to you the deceitful game that the devil played and is playing now with all human by making us blame God for what, he, the devil is doing to us. Satan is the main actor behind all the chaos, all the epidemics and all the death of people. It is not God, and will not be God who causes these things until the return of Jesus. THAT IS THE BLAME GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Download or read book Jostling Between Mere Talk and Blame Game written by Mawere, Munyaradzi and published by Langaa RPCIG. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the fundamental challenges in rethinking and remaking development in Africa from a Pan African perspective is that too much “mere talk” and “blame game” have played out at the expense of “real action”. The blame game and mere talk on Africa’s poverty and underdevelopment jam have remained printed in bold on the face of the continent, yet Africa’s dire situation warrants nothing less than real emphatic action. This book focuses on the empirics of the production and reproduction of poverty and underdevelopment across Africa in a fashion that warrants urgent pragmatic policy attention and quest for workable homegrown solutions to persistent predicaments. The volume advances the need to recognise the realities of global inequalities and move swiftly in a most informed and transparent manner to address the poverty and underdevelopment conundrum. The book sets the tempo and pace on the need for praxis and pragmatism on the African situation. It is handy to students and practitioners in African studies, poverty and development studies, global studies, policy studies, economics and political science.
