Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our shared human journey, the echoes of oppression reverberate through the annals of history. From systemic inequalities to the suppression of cultural expressions and the marginalization of entire communities, oppressive systems have left indelible marks on the fabric of our societies. These wounds run deep, compromising the well-being and potential of individuals and fracturing the very foundations of justice and equality. As we stand at the precipice of change, it becomes evident that healing from oppression is not only a moral imperative but also a necessary step towards realizing a world where every human being can thrive. This book, "Breaking Chains, Building Bridges: A Holistic Vision for Healing from Oppression," is a call to action, an invitation to embark on a transformative journey that transcends mere resistance and offers a roadmap for healing the wounds inflicted by various forms of oppression. Understanding that oppression is a multidimensional force, we embark on this journey by exploring its intricate facets: racial, gender, economic, spiritual, cultural, and governmental. Each form of oppression interweaves, reinforcing and perpetuating the others, creating complex webs that shackle individuals and communities. Yet, in acknowledging and dissecting these oppressive structures, we uncover the path towards liberation. Equipped with knowledge and empathy, we begin to reimagine a world where healing is not a privilege but a fundamental right. We envision a society where everyone, regardless of background or identity, can live their lives with dignity and agency, free from the chains of oppression. This holistic vision encompasses seven interconnected dimensions of healing, drawing upon the wisdom and insights from previous sections: Financial Healing: advocating for economic justice, wealth redistribution, and equitable access to resources, ensuring financial well-being for all individuals and communities. Spiritual Healing: nourishing diverse spiritual practices, engaging in interfaith dialogues, reclaiming personal spiritual paths, and creating inclusive spaces for healing and growth. Cultural Healing: preserving and revitalizing marginalized cultural traditions, fostering inclusivity, and striving for a world that celebrates the beauty and richness of all cultures. Governmental Healing: promoting democratic governance, human rights, participatory decision-making, and accountability at all levels of government, ensuring the empowerment and well-being of all citizens. Education and Awareness: cultivating knowledge, empathy, and critical consciousness through educational initiatives, dismantling oppressive narratives, and fostering understanding of diverse experiences. Collaboration and Unity: building bridges of solidarity, embracing diversity and shared values, dismantling systems that perpetuate division, and fostering collective healing and empowerment. Action and Advocacy: translating knowledge into transformative action, engaging in grassroots activism, demanding policy reform, and creating sustainable change at individual, collective, and systemic levels. By intertwining these dimensions, we carve a path towards a society that not only acknowledges the pain of oppression but takes tangible steps towards healing and liberation. Through education, inclusivity, activism, and accountable governance, we cultivate a world where the wounds of the past are acknowledged, healed, and transformed into the building blocks of a more just and equitable future.

Download or read book Breaking chains building bridges cooperation in upholding the rights of workers rescued from conditions analogous to slavery in Tocantins written by Nathalia Canhedo and published by AYA Editora. This book was released on 2023-11-29 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is the result of a master’s dissertation, but especially of the author’s concern to understand how, in the 21st century, we are still discussing degrading forms of labour without ever having actually freed ourselves from the chains of slavery experienced in centuries past. The state of Tocantins, as one of the Brazilian states that most often supplies slave labour, as well as importing this form of labour, has repercussions both domestically and internationally, which is why the study was justified. The north of Brazil, where the state of Tocantins is located, is a vast region with low levels of education, where many people live below the poverty line and with little state action, making it a favourable environment for workers to be recruited in slavery-like conditions. However, modern slavery has much deeper roots than can be measured and was only formally extinguished by political and economic interests, which contributes to the fact that even today the issue is the subject of worldwide studies and criticism, since the marginalised class of yesteryear has become the modern slaves of today. Unfortunately, history proves that the abolition of slavery was due to British pressure on Brazil to establish a new society: the consumer society. In other words, the new type of society would require products to be commercialised, but above all people to consume them, which justified the end of slavery. However, the end of slavery did not really mean the end of the exploitation of human labour power, because the excluded class of former slaves formed the marginalised class of modern Brazilian society, as they were left at the mercy of a capitalist system that was not inclusive and had no real opportunities for social mobility. Thus, this class of workers defined the future of their generations in which the barriers of social injustice and non-belonging could never be overcome because labour for the former slaves was never an emancipating mechanism, marking secular social injustices that continue to this day. The truth is that freed slaves, especially black, poor and illiterate slaves, started to be chained in other ways, especially those that caused physical and emotional illness, because they had to be subjected to degrading work due to the lack of education, culture and opportunities, making the same slave society of ancient times persist, but in a new guise. The slave of precision, that is, the individual who faces the absence of opportunities to achieve basic survival, becomes the worker in conditions similar to slavery by accepting work in precarious and humiliating conditions for personal and family needs given the demands of the capitalist world, creating a favourable environment for the perpetuation of modern slavery. Therefore, it is against this backdrop that the study of labour in conditions analogous to slavery becomes fundamental so that one day we can actually put an end to this vicious cycle from the perspective of coordinated actions between the various bodies that are responsible at the domestic legal level for combating and eradicating neo-slavery once and for all.

Download or read book Achieving Prosperity written by Todd Lipscomb and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Towards the Death of Humanity" is the endless demonstration of the disastrous side effects left on our environment, on life on this planet, on health and most of all on human dehumanization by a century of tremendous scientific and technological realizations and their material values. It illustrates how these unhealthy side effects are highly linked to the hasty and thoughtless decisions of scientists, intellectuals and governments to replace the humanities and the traditional methods of teaching with their own methods of science, technology and their essentially material values. Unfortunately totally deprived of the smallest bit of humanity, this method of education has killed the rudiments of humanity acquired during the course of history, has dehumanized the people, their institutions and their societies. These side effects originate in the age-old desire of intellectuals and scientists to take hold of the power of religion over man and to satisfy their morbid need to build a new world, re-designed following Hegel' belief that the matter is eternal and God. Although these ideologies have lost all their legitimacy today because science has recently demonstrated that the matter is not eternal, scientists and intellectuals keep on teaching the falseness of their materialistic social system as if the logic of their reasoning were the only truth. This work promotes certain guidelines that individuals must follow to make the lucid and effective compromises needed to try and solve these destructive problems affecting man and society before the end of History.

Download or read book Mindwealth written by William A. Jones and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intellectual property rights (IPR) are a force for good. People could harness their power more. The book describes the UK and global environment in which people can build personal wealth from IP. At its core is the statistic that approximately 70 per cent of a firms value is in its IP, which is generated by people. Changing the environment would help more people build personal wealth from IPR. That includes a better industrialization environment that delivers national competitive advantage through IPR. Author William Jones describes the ecosystem within which people generate and exploit IPR, using many examples, snapshots, and observations, as well as structured disciplines. The book takes a look at this ecosystem through the lens of the individual and IPR and more specifically, the underpinning idea is that people can build their wealth by ensuring that IP works for them. It highlights factors that can influence an individuals ability to be successful. It suggests new ideas to provide a better platform for building personal wealth. The book doesnt fall neatly into any genre of, for example, investment, economics, law, or politics. Rather, it integrates or synthesizes a different position and new genre which exists above or to one side of these.

Download or read book Breaking the Chains of Gravity written by Amy Shira Teitel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incredible story of spaceflight before the establishment of NASA. NASA's history is a familiar story, one that typically peaks with Neil Armstrong taking his small step on the Moon in 1969. But America's space agency wasn't created in a vacuum. It was assembled from pre-existing parts, drawing together some of the best minds the non-Soviet world had to offer. In the 1930s, rockets were all the rage in Germany, the focus both of scientists hoping to fly into space and of the German armed forces, looking to circumvent the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles. One of the key figures in this period was Wernher von Braun, an engineer who designed the rockets that became the devastating V-2. As the war came to its chaotic conclusion, von Braun escaped from the ruins of Nazi Germany, and was taken to America where he began developing missiles for the US Army. Meanwhile, the US Air Force was looking ahead to a time when men would fly in space, and test pilots like Neil Armstrong were flying cutting-edge, rocket-powered aircraft in the thin upper atmosphere. Breaking the Chains of Gravity tells the story of America's nascent space program, its scientific advances, its personalities and the rivalries it caused between the various arms of the US military. At this point getting a man in space became a national imperative, leading to the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, otherwise known as NASA.

Download or read book The Painful Truth about Hunger in America written by Mariana Chilton and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radical and urgent new approach to how we can solve the problems of hunger and poverty in the US. Most people think hunger has to do with food: researchers, policymakers, and advocates focus on promoting government-funded nutrition assistance; well-meaning organizations try to get expired or wasted food to marginalized communities; and philanthropists donate their money to the cause and congratulate themselves for doing so. But few people ask about the structural issues undergirding hunger, such as, Who benefits from keeping people in such a state of precarity? In The Painful Truth about Hunger in America, Mariana Chilton shows that the solution to food insecurity lies far beyond food and must incorporate personal, political, and spiritual approaches if we are serious about fixing the crisis. Drawing on 25 years of research, programming, and advocacy efforts, Chilton compellingly demonstrates that food insecurity is created and maintained by people in power. Taking the reader back to the original wounds in the United States caused by its history of colonization, genocide, and enslavement, she forces us to reckon with hard questions about why people in the US allow hunger to persist. Drawing on intimate interviews she conducted with many Black and Brown women, the author reveals that the experience of hunger is rooted in trauma and gender-based violence—violence in our relationships with one another, with the natural world, and with ourselves—and that if we want to fix hunger, we must transform our society through compassion, love, and connection. Especially relevant for young people charting new paths toward abolition, mutual aid, and meaningful livelihoods, The Painful Truth about Hunger in America reinvigorates our commitment to uprooting the causes of poverty and discrimination, and points to a more generative and humane world where everyone can be nourished.
