Download or read book Moral Development and Reality written by John C. Gibbs and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moral Development and Reality explores the nature of moral development, human behavior, and social interconnections. The exploration elucidates the full range of moral development, from superficial perception to a deeper understanding and feeling through social perspective-taking. By comparing, contrasting, and going beyond the key theories of preeminent thinkers Lawrence Kohlberg, Martin Hoffman, and Jonathan Haidt, author John C. Gibbs tackles vital questions: What exactly is morality and its development? Can the key theoretical perspectives be integrated? What accounts for prosocial behavior, and how can we understand and treat antisocial behavior? Does moral development, including moments of moral inspiration, reflect a deeper reality? This third edition of Moral Development and Reality is thoroughly updated, refined, and expanded. A major addition to this volume is the attention to the work of Jonathan Haidt, a prominent theorist who studies the psychological bases of morality across cultures and political ideologies. Gibbs is authoritative with respect to Kohlberg's, Hoffman's, and Haidt's theories, thanks in good measure to his privileged position, having worked or been acquainted with all three of these key figures for decades. A new foreword by David Moshman introduces the third edition, calling it "the most important contribution to the study of moral development since the turn of the century." Moral Development and Reality will have broad appeal across academic and applied disciplines, especially education and the helping professions. With its case studies and chapter questions, it also serves as a text in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in social/developmental psychology and human development.
Download or read book Obsessive Associations written by P.D.Vaid( Vaid Puran Dutt) and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His most desired passion was to live each moment to the fullest before slipping into obliteration. His first crush was on the swimming coach. He remained at the threshold of falling in love with her. He reluctantly fell in love a second time and it culminated into marriage. He believed in the might of destiny and equally believed in his right to be in control of these moments. He resolved to ignore the all-powerful, invincible and mighty destiny. Unlike in the present age, there is a growing tendency to capture moments, big or small, through the eyes of the lens. Back then, the options were more or less limited to living mindfully and preserving moments. There are memories of a childhood striving for the freedom of adulthood. Or when under the stress of adulthood, a longing for a comfortable life of retirement. Surprisingly, he never thought of retiring from life. Every stage in his life had a unique charm of its own. To him, the magic of the moment was lost if desirable results were expected all the time. Outcomes fall in the domain of destiny. So he regretted or expected nothing from life except the prerequisite of feeling the distinct charm of living to the fullest. Frame by frame, pictures are conceived by the old man of his avant-garde heroine and the ‘life’ that remained his only true love. He was determined not to blame life for any of his miseries.
Download or read book Gut Knowledges written by Kristin Hunt and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-13 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines historical and contemporary activist alimentary performance with an eye toward, or perhaps a taste for, what these performance modes can reveal about changing relationships between the senses, truth, justice, and ethical action amid the post-truth era’s destabilization of shared notions of truth. This inquiry emerges in response to an urgent need to understand how multisensory models of knowledge, truth, and justice can be ethically employed to nurture a more just society. Alongside this goal is a drive to understand the ways in which these modes of performance are being co-opted by authoritarians, white supremacists, anti-science activists, and others to shore up injustice, promote misinformation, and anxiously guard existing systems of power and privilege. From white supremacist milk-drinking performances to liberatory uses of culinary performance as pedagogy, Kristin Hunt analyzes both disturbing and inspiring alimentary events to understand how performers, cooks, scholars, artists, and activists can effectively cultivate models of alimentary performance that center plenitude, joy, and justice while pushing back against models rooted in anxiety, diminishment, and cruelty. The text should be of interest for students in performance studies, contemporary theatre, and theatre history as well as courses in food studies and popular culture.

Download or read book Communist Ghosts written by Magda Schmukalla and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores post-communist thresholds as materializations of a specific crisis of modern European identity that was caused by the existence and sudden breakdown of Soviet-type communism. It shows how post-communist thresholds emerge where relics from the communist experience continue disrupting the routines and rhythms of a modern life and confront Europeans with cultural experiences, affects and material realities of the ‘enlightened world’ which they usually seek to repress or ignore. In exploring and writing through art projects which engage with the psychosocial fabric of such post-communist thresholds, this book finds ways of speaking and thinking through these transitory and paradox sites, and asks what we can say about other or new worlds, about new beginnings and endings as well as about decolonial and ethical ways of relating to the other when assessing the status quo of European modernity from within its liminal and crisis-driven sphere.
Download or read book The Balkans Old New Instabilities written by Giorgio Fruscione and published by Ledizioni. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2020 could be a crucial year for the Western Balkans. For over twenty years, the region has been stuck in a never-ending transition. Politics, economics, and geopolitics are still falling prey to old and new sources of instability. With the path towards EU integration still uncertain, many governments in the region are marked by autocratic tendencies, and international actors strive for a bigger say in the region. NATO is expanding to the Balkans, but regional security still depends on foreign soft power and influence. And while recipes for economic transition focus mainly on foreign direct investments that often lack transparency, Balkan societies are losing their citizens to substantial emigration. What are the factors contributing to Western Balkans instability in the age of Covid-19? Will the region continue to be ground for renewed geopolitical competition? How can the Balkans leave the transition phase and find a sustainable, balanced path onwards?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bookstore owner Sam Donovan is Bliss Cove’s most stoic bachelor (though most argue he’s just plain grouchy). With a past he’s kept secret out of necessity, Sam can’t afford to let anyone in, especially not the perky local journalist he’s been avoiding all year. Inquisitive by trade, and too damn fun by default, Brooke somehow sneaks past all the defenses guarding his hardened heart. And this is without the help of a big storm keeping them stuck up on a mountain together… Now jobless, adrift, and pushing the big 30, Brooke Castle desperately needs to hit reset and regroup. But when she gets trapped with the intensely reticent Sam, she’s surprised to find her own self-discovery comes with learning his buried secrets. Though both have careers built on stories, their deep-rooted views on life—and love—couldn’t be more different. Which begs the question: what will they do with their own ‘what happened in the cabin, stays in the cabin’ tale? *This book was previously published under the title Words of Love — same swoony, emotional small town romance, just with a fresh new title and cover. * * * * * Heart-grabbing small town love stories with uniquely imperfect couples and hard-fought ever afters.

Download or read book Expanded Choreographies Choreographic Histories written by Anna Leon and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2022-07-31 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From objects to sounds, choreography is expanding beyond dance and human bodies in motion. This book offers one of the rare systematic investigations of expanded choreography as it develops in contemporaneity, and is the first to consider expanded choreography from a trans-historical perspective. Through case studies on different periods of European dance history - ranging from Renaissance dance to William Forsythe's choreographic objects and from Baroque court ballets to digital choreographies - it traces a journey of choreography as a practice transcending its sole association with dancing, moving, human bodies.
Download or read book Presence written by Brenda Iijima and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At Treasure Island, a humanly made island in the San Francisco Bay, a performance troupe dressed in hazmat suits articulate gestures that resemble toxic remediation. As they become more attuned to the site and to its history and ecology, enigmatic presences infiltrate their spacetime. Are they from the past, the present, or the future? What is the significance of their sudden arrival? What happens when historical and geological eras converge? Meanwhile, elsewhere, various earth scientists at sites around the globe search for the “golden spike”: a telltale geologic marker that synchronously indicates a definitive time change in the strata—a change from the Holocene epoch to the Anthropocene. Within their data is Earth’s biography, but how is humanity insinuated within this chronology? Throughout Presence, encounter and contact are the major elements of consequence, action, implication, and resounding significance. Encounter and contact between timeframes, cultures, ecologies, persons, intuitions, ways of living, and worlding. At these junctures are the moments of possibility—of violence and/or of budding community.
Download or read book Life and Mind written by Jürgen Lawrenz and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-05 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this bold, provocative account, the author argues that the phenomena of life and mind elude purely materialistic explanations. Living matter occupies a unique phase of existence which results from the complex transformation of its biochemical synergies. Analogous phase changes account for mind and self-reflexive consciousness. A central role in the living state is played by intelligence, which has not been recognised as a non-negotiable precondition of organic existence. Yet the concept of evolutionary adaptivity relies tacitly on it. Thus the book amounts to a serious challenge to the overly theoretical paradigmata of the last half-century with their timorous evasion of biological fundamentals. However, although the work relies on up-to-date research of the life sciences, it is a primarily philosophical enquiry, dealing head on with many unsolved problems of life and mind, and culminating in a detailed “ontological proof” of the mind system.
Download or read book The Russian Affair written by Michael Wallner and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intriguing love and espionage story set in Moscow in the late 1970s, in the midst of the Cold War. Twenty-nine-year-old Anna Viktorovna lives in Moscow with her young son and her father, a once popular and respected poet who has fallen into disgrace because of his dissident views. Her husband, a junior officer in the Red Army, is on active duty and living seven time zones away. Anna struggles gamely through her difficult existence, doing the best she can amidst the long lines, bureaucratic inferno, and corruption and incompetence of the police state. When she meets and makes an impression on a powerful Soviet official—Alexey Bulgyakov—her life begins to look a little brighter. Alexey is married and nearly twice her age, but he turns out to be a man of infinite patience and forbearance, and gradually a strange but solid bond grows between them. Though Anna still loves her mostly absent husband and harbors no illusions about the future, she and Alexey become lovers. Soon Anna and Alexey’s burgeoning romance is irrevocably threatened when a KGB colonel forces Anna to spy on Alexey, who is suspected of disloyalty to the state. Though Anna loathes the notion of double-crossing the man she has come to love, when her family is threatened she must comply. But Anna isn’t the only character playing a double game. With bravura storytelling, stunning authenticity, and complex yet sympathetic characterizations, The Russian Affair depicts a love that struggles to survive against all odds and despite its many-layered deceptions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. All progress therefore depends on the unreasonable man." (George Bernard SHAW) So sometimes, our certainties, our freedoms in our life choices, accentuate and considerably aggravate the consequences of our actions. It's the same for our free will, our best alibi in the face of the disasters that dot our lives to the fantasy of our decisions, this "true false friend" sometimes cumbersome or even disabling, this invention of MEN intended to comfort us in our choices, become by force of events, the best friend of our Ego.
