Download or read book Canon Fodder written by Penny A. Weiss and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an exercise in the recovery of historical memory about a set of thinkers who have been forgotten or purposely ignored and, as a result, never made it into the canon of Western political philosophy. Penny Weiss calls them “canon fodder,” recalling the fate of soldiers in war who are treated by their governments and military leaders as expendable. Despite some real progress at recovery over the past few decades, and the now-frequent references to a few female thinkers like Mary Wollstonecraft, Hannah Arendt, and Simone de Beauvoir, the surface has only been scratched, and the rich resources of women’s writings about political ideas remain still largely untapped. Included here, and intended to further whet the palate, are figures from Sei Shōnagon, Christine de Pizan, and Mary Astell to Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Anna Julia Cooper, and Emma Goldman. Restoring female thinkers to the conversation of political philosophy is the primary goal of this book. Part I deploys a range of these thinkers to discuss the nature of political inquiry itself. Part II focuses on alternative approaches to and visions of core political ideas: equality, power, revolution, childhood, and community. While mainly an intellectual act of revival, this book also affects practical political life, because “remote and academic as they sometimes appear, debates about what to include in the canon ultimately touch almost everyone: students handed texts from lists of ‘great books’ to guide them . . . and citizens whose governments justify their actions with ideas from political texts deemed classic."

Download or read book Raising Cannon Fodder Gold Star Dad written by Ardith Cecil Dressler and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the life and death of Army Sergeant Shawn Dressler as written by Shawn's father. The story of Shawn begins with an overview of the author's life before Shawn's birth. The author has lived an exciting life that has included an eight-year enlistment in the U.S. Navy as a nuclear submarine crewman and nuclear instructor for the U.S. Navy. As a Vietnam era veteran (1968-1976), the author imparts his experiences and insights into emphasizing aspects of Shawn's Army career in a time of war.Shawn's life before enlisting into the Army is told in brief segments in a manner that reveals his relationship with his parents, his personal character, and his interests. The author details Shawn's experiences in the Army both inside and outside of war zones. The thoughts and worries of the author and his wife for the safety of their son are expressed throughout this book. The author included in his story a generous number of unedited e-mails that Shawn had sent home. Those brief messages to his parents are revealing as they express the thoughts and concerns of a young combat soldier from the battlefield. Shawn's love for his mother is evident as he attempts to calm her fears for his safety. Shawn's e-mails also reflect the time pressure in which he experienced when writing home.In an effort to learn more about the people whom Shawn was fighting, his father educated himself on the people and politics of the region. The author began reading the English version of the Al Jazeera web site. On that site he frequently observed anti-American terrorist propaganda. That propaganda included videos of American soldiers being killed and wounded by roadside bombs and suicide bombers. Watching that film footage proved particularly hard to take for the author. Shawn made a telephone call to his dad and mom minutes before his death. The reader is brought into that conversation and the ironies surrounding the content of that telephone conversation.The author describes a paranormal experience that occurred to him at or near the time of Shawn's death. A worried telephone call by Shawn's wife on the evening of Shawn's death confirmed, for the author, that his premonition had been horrifically correct.The author writes of the bureaucratic bumbling by the US Army that began with Shawn's death notification and continued through his burial. Mr. Dressler re-searched Army protocol and procedure for handling death notifications and provided contrast to what should have happened to what actually occurred. Difficulties encountered due to the incompetence of one airline and the insensitivity and political correctness of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) generated many tears for the Dressler family. Over time, Shawn's remains were returned to the author's family. His homecoming service was magnificent. Shawn's brothers of the First Infantry Division, Eighteenth Infantry Regiment, Alpha Company participated in Shawn's Ceremony. Shawn was finally home and among brothers. The author began to write his book to preserve Shawn's memory for future generations of family members. A secondary reason for writing his book was to provide himself a means of introspection into Shawn's life and death. Mr. Dressler had issues to resolve concerning Shawn's death; he needed closure. The author was tormented that perhaps he had missed opportunities to steer his son down a path where he would have outlived his father. Once the author began to write this book, he came to believe that other parents might find relief in his book. Mr. Dressler changed his writing style to include the general population.The singular dark and pointed question for the author was; "Had he raised his son to become cannon fodder?"

Download or read book Developer Hegemony written by Erik Dietrich and published by BlogIntoBook.com. This book was released on with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s been said that software is eating the planet. The modern economy—the world itself—relies on technology. Demand for the people who can produce it far outweighs the supply. So why do developers occupy largely subordinate roles in the corporate structure? Developer Hegemony explores the past, present, and future of the corporation and what it means for developers. While it outlines problems with the modern corporate structure, it’s ultimately a play-by-play of how to leave the corporate carnival and control your own destiny. And it’s an emboldening, specific vision of what software development looks like in the world of developer hegemony—one where developers band together into partner firms of “efficiencers,” finally able to command the pay, respect, and freedom that’s earned by solving problems no one else can. Developers, if you grow tired of being treated like geeks who can only be trusted to take orders and churn out code, consider this your call to arms. Bring about the autonomous future that’s rightfully yours. It’s time for developer hegemony.

Book excerpt: "I can't imagine a college student—skeptic, doubter, Christian, struggler—who wouldn't benefit from this book." —Kevin DeYoung For many young adults, the college years are an exciting period of selfdiscovery full of new relationships, new independence, and new experiences. Yet college can also be a time of personal testing and intense questioning— especially for Christian students confronted with various challenges to Christianity and the Bible for the first time. Drawing on years of experience as a biblical scholar, Michael Kruger addresses common objections to the Christian faith—the exclusivity of Christianity, Christian intolerance, homosexuality, hell, the problem of evil, science, miracles, and the reliability of the Bible. If you're a student dealing with doubt or wrestling with objections to Christianity from fellow students and professors alike, this book will equip you to engage secular challenges with intellectual honesty, compassion, and confidence—and ultimately graduate college with your faith intact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cold-hearted man was a cannon fodder. As cannon fodder, the Discipline that was awakened when the apocalypse came was very weak. He was forced to stand at the forefront of combat and lead a life of terror. As cannon fodder, she had no right to like a big boss, so when she saved the boss, she was impersonated. As cannon fodder, even if someone had a heaven-defying magical equipment on them, they would still lose their chance of survival after being framed. As cannon fodder, when one's life was at stake, it was the pig's feet that kicked them into the pile of zombies. Therefore, a cold eyebrow was sad. Even the heavens thought that she was miserable, so they allowed her to be reborn.

Download or read book They Fight Like Soldiers They Die Like Children written by Roméo Dallaire and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is my hope that through the pages of this remarkable book, you will discover groundbreaking thoughts on building partnerships and networks to enhance the global movement to end child soldiering; you will gain new and holistic insights on what constitutes a child soldier; you will learn more about girl soldiers, who have not been fully considered in the discussion of this issue; you will discover methods on how to influence national policies and the training of security forces; and you will find practical steps that will foster better coordination between security forces and humanitarian efforts."-Ishmael Beah As the leader of the ill-fated United Nations peacekeeping force in Rwanda, Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire came face-to-face with the horrifying reality of child soldiers during the genocide of 1994. Since then the incidence of child soldiers has proliferated in conflicts around the world: they are cheap, plentiful, expendable, with an incredible capacity, once drugged and brainwashed, for both loyalty and barbarism. The dilemma of the adult soldier who faces them is poignantly expressed in this book's title: when children are shooting at you, they are soldiers, but as soon as they are wounded or killed, they are children once again. Believing that not one of us should tolerate a child being used in this fashion, Dallaire has made it his mission to end the use of child soldiers. Where Ishmael Beah's A Long Way Gone gave us wrenching testimony of the devastating experience of being a child soldier, Dallaire offers intellectually daring and enlightened approaches to the child soldier phenomenon, and insightful, empowering solutions to eradicate it.
