Download or read book Creating Insecurity written by Anthony D. Lott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this absorbing book Anthony Lott develops a national security analysis that can be used to critique the policies of states. His approach combines realist thought common to traditional security studies and a version of 'political' constructivism common to critical security studies. While the focus on human security remains integral, the 9/11 attacks on New York demonstrate the importance of national security traditionally defined. This book recognizes the importance of both components of security in a broader security dialogue. After building a theoretical understanding of security, the work examines four disparate security issues that currently engage policy makers in the United States: the current discourse concerning ballistic missile defense, the war on drugs in Colombia, democratic challenges to economic globalization and the state response, and the US-led war to oust Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq. The book is designed for upper-division international relations courses in national security studies, international politics and theory.

For as long as humans have existed, they have been preyed upon by a powerful enemy. One that targets both males and females, old and young. It doesn't care how much money you have, where you live, or how successful you are. It can sicken your mind, make your day a living hell, and hinder your career. And it affects every single person on the planet. Yes, we're talking about self-doubt. It is one of the strongest feelings in the world, one that can take down even the most powerful individuals and can cause mayhem in anyone's life. There are many causes of insecurity, and it doesn't manifest the same in everyone. Some people hide themselves behind baggy clothes because they don't feel pretty enough. Others stay at home and avoid social events, worried that they might say something "stupid" and embarrass themselves. No matter what form your insecurity takes, the result is always the same: you are missing out on life. You could be out there, making friends, finding love, getting promoted, if your self-doubt wasn't holding you back. It's a tough rival to beat. But just like any other predator, self-doubt has a natural enemy, one that conquers it every time: confidence. Yes, confidence is the king of the jungle. Once you arm yourself with it, you're ready for the battle, and insecurities have no chance against this power. But becoming a strong, confident individual is easier said than done. Or is it? In this book, you'll discover: Simple techniques to break free from those hardwired negative thoughts that are poisoning your mind How to stop comparing yourself to others and eliminate destructive pangs of jealousy Why being perfect sucks, and how you can use your imperfections to your advantage Shocking revelations on self-sabotage, and how to recognize when you're doing it (hint: prepare to be surprised) How to use powerful tools such as CBT and self-talk to fight social anxiety, and rejoin the world How you are unconsciously projecting your insecurity to others by acting a certain way Strategies for boosting your defense mechanism and creating a shield of confidence no insecurity can penetrate And much more. A healthy dose of self-doubt has never hurt anyone. In fact, research suggests it can even help you progress and make you a better, more confident individual. But insecurities are subtle. They start slow, like you hiding your tummy on a beach, or avoiding public speaking. If left unchecked, they can grip you extremely fast and leave you vulnerable, self-conscious, and unsure in your own abilities. But if you react in time and employ confidence as your ally, self-doubt doesn't stand a chance. If you're ready to meet your insecurities on the battlefield, and emerge victorious, then scroll up and click the "Add to Cart" button right now.

Download or read book The Insecure American written by Hugh Gusterson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans are feeling insecure. They are retreating to gated communities in record numbers, fearing for their jobs and their 401(k)s, nervous about their health insurance and their debt levels, worrying about terrorist attacks and immigrants. In this innovative volume, editors Hugh Gusterson and Catherine Besteman gather essays from nineteen leading ethnographers to create a unique portrait of an anxious country and to furnish valuable insights into the nation's possible future. With an incisive foreword by Barbara Ehrenreich, the contributors draw on their deep knowledge of different facets of American life to map the impact of the new economy, the "war on terror," the "war on drugs," racial resentments, a fraying safety net, undocumented immigration, a health care system in crisis, and much more. In laying out a range of views on the forces that unsettle us, The Insecure American demonstrates the singular power of an anthropological perspective for grasping the impact of corporate profit on democratic life, charting the links between policy and vulnerability, and envisioning alternatives to life as an insecure American.

Download or read book Insecure written by Patricia A. Carlisle and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overcoming jealousy is like changing any emotional reaction or behavior. It begins with awareness. Awareness allows you to see that the projected stories in your mind are not true. Then you have this clarity you no longer react to the scenarios that your mind imagines. Jealousy and anger are emotional reactions to believing scenarios in your mind that are not true. By changing what you believe you change what your imagination is projecting and you can eliminate these destructive emotional reactions. Even when there is justification for the reaction, jealousy and anger are not beneficial. Ways to deal with the situation and get what we want are discussed in this book. Trying to change anger or jealousy once you are in the emotion is like trying to control a car skidding on ice. Your ability to handle the situation is greatly improved if you can steer clear of the hazard before we get there. This means addressing the beliefs that trigger jealousy instead of attempting to control your emotions. To permanently dissolve the emotions such as insecurity, low-self esteem and jealousy in relationships means changing the core beliefs of insecurity and mental projections of what your partner is doing.

Download or read book Insecurity written by Mark Hamman and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-27 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insecurity Cure This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to eliminate jealousy and insecurity in your life. Any relationship is prone to certain hurdles. There are times in which you and your significant other fight over even the simplest things. Choosing a restaurant to dine in for the night can very well nurture an atmosphere of contempt. And then there are other things like finances, careers, relationships and emotional space that constitute the cores of human life. We can never stray from the simple truism that relationships, no matter corny they get, can succumb to problems. And it becomes more complicated when either partner begins to feel emotionally detached; a feeling which is at most sourced from jealousy. But from jealousy, we should also provide another truism. For instance, in the world of relationships, we find it hard to tow the feelings of our partners. We cannot help but to decode their thoughts. But we do know how we feel when, say, when they approach someone else. This happens a lot to people in relationships that are no more complicated than any turbulent celebrity marriage. You are at a party, and then this guy or girl arrives, flaunting the appearance of a model who posed for some urban magazine at some point. He or she enters the room, attracting the other people with a sex appeal that laughs at your seemingly lack of. You can only stand with indifference when your hubby figures as a potential victim. You try to play it cool, but you just can't help being unnerved in such a tense situation, where you try to control your partner but simply can't. Instead, you try to enjoy the remaining hours of the party, contemplating on whether you are indeed a good mate. We all know that parties as this do not happen a lot. But we can only be assured that jealousy surfaces at any given time or place. And it is a feeling that just gives us ache and infuriation. But for some, it is a sign of an inability to maintain a lasting relationship and generally become a better at what you do. Insecurity, then, is the direct effect of jealousy. If you look at it closely, jealousy goes hand-in-hand with insecurity in creating the pretext of a possible split. In this book, we will try to put jealousy in perspective. We will point out its effects that do not only involve the pitfalls of insecurity. As with any other book on relationships and personal development, this piece of social literature contains important advice on how to put your emotions in check, since we all know that emotions play a significant role in the fostering or destruction of individual life. As for insecurity, this book manages to let individuals know that it is a consequence of trying to suppress certain thoughts and feelings rooted on an irrational perception of the self. What's more, this book will try to give advice on how better to treat your partner and respect his or her own feelings about the relationship you share. Finally, this book urges us to improve ourselves by becoming the masters, not of other people, but of our very own emotions.
