Download or read book Fat Planet written by Eileen P. Anderson-Fye and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The average size of human bodies all over the world has been steadily rising over recent decades. The total count of people clinically labeled “obese” is now at least three times what it was in 1980. Fat Planet represents a collaborative effort to consider at a global scale what fat stigma is and what it does to people. Making use of an array of social science perspectives applied in multiple settings, the authors examine the interplay of weight, wealth, history, culture, and meaning to fat and its social rejection. They explore the notion of symbolic body capital—the power of non-fat bodies to do what people need or want. In so doing, they illustrate the complex and quickly shifting dynamics in thinking about fat—often considered personal yet powerfully influenced by and influential upon the broader world in which we live.

Download or read book Tight Knit written by Elizabeth L. Krause and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-08-17 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coveted “Made in Italy” label calls to mind visions of nimble-fingered Italian tailors lovingly sewing elegant, high-end clothing. The phrase evokes a sense of authenticity, heritage, and rustic charm. Yet, as Elizabeth L. Krause uncovers in Tight Knit, Chinese migrants are the ones sewing “Made in Italy” labels into low-cost items for a thriving fast-fashion industry—all the while adding new patterns to the social fabric of Italy’s iconic industry. Krause offers a revelatory look into how families involved in the fashion industry are coping with globalization based on longterm research in Prato, the historic hub of textile production in the heart of metropolitan Tuscany. She brings to the fore the tensions—over value, money, beauty, family, care, and belonging—that are reaching a boiling point as the country struggles to deal with the same migration pressures that are triggering backlash all over Europe and North America. Tight Knit tells a fascinating story about the heterogeneity of contemporary capitalism that will interest social scientists, immigration experts, and anyone curious about how globalization is changing the most basic of human conditions—making a living and making a life.

Society often imposes unrealistic standards of beauty, success, and behavior on women, but it's crucial to recognize that self-worth does not come from external validation. A young woman must learn to appreciate her uniqueness, talents, and inner qualities rather than comparing herself to others. Confidence in who she is, and not what others expect her to be, is essential for navigating life’s challenges. Emotional Intelligence and Mental Health Emotional intelligence—understanding and managing emotions—is key to a young woman’s personal and professional life. Recognizing her feelings, handling stress, and empathizing with others will improve relationships and decision-making. Equally important is knowing when to seek help for mental health issues like anxiety or depression. A young lady must understand that prioritizing her mental health is not a sign of weakness, but an act of self-care that leads to long-term well-being. The Importance of Financial Independence Achieving financial independence is a vital skill for any young woman. Understanding basic financial literacy—how to budget, save, invest, and manage credit—is crucial to her empowerment and autonomy. Financial independence ensures that she can make decisions for her life based on her desires, goals, and values, rather than relying on others for financial support. A young lady should know how to build her financial security, as it gives her the freedom to pursue her dreams without limitations. Healthy Relationships Building healthy relationships, whether they are friendships, romantic partnerships, or family connections, is crucial for a young woman’s emotional well-being. A young lady must learn to set boundaries, communicate effectively, and recognize the signs of a healthy versus toxic relationship. Respect, trust, and equality should be the foundation of all her relationships. Knowing when to walk away from toxic or abusive situations is a sign of strength, and no one should tolerate disrespect or mistreatment. The Value of Education and Lifelong Learning Education is a powerful tool that opens doors to personal and professional opportunities. A young lady should know the importance of continuous learning, not only in formal education but also through personal development. Whether it's pursuing higher education, developing new skills, or staying curious about the world, lifelong learning equips her to adapt to changing circumstances and seize opportunities. Education builds confidence, independence, and opens up pathways to success.
