Download or read book Rethinking Ageism written by Augie Fleras and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-09-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Older adults may be the world's fastest growing demographic. Yet they remain vulnerable to biases and barriers that would be intolerable if directed at others. Such an indictment puts the onus on deconstructing the idea of ageism in terms of what it means ("a riddle"), how it works ("a mystery"), why it persists ("an enigma"), and what can be done about it ("a puzzle"). Reference to ageism must go beyond the idea of a “bug” in the system. Rather, ageism is the system, the default reality of an ageist society designed by, for, and about the young and able-bodied. Ageism also intersects with other forms of identity and inequality such as gender and race to amplify the downside of getting older and being old. Initiatives for advancing a rights-based, age-inclusive society must focus on calling out ageism as a precondition for calling in a national reset.

Download or read book Henry Hathaway written by Harold N. Pomainville and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the casual film fan, Henry Hathaway is not a household name. But in a career that spanned five decades, Hathaway directed an impressive number of films and guided many actors and actresses to some their most acclaimed performances. He also helped launch the Hollywood careers of numerous actors such as Randolph Scott, Lee Marvin, Karl Malden, and Charles Bronson. His work on Niagara established Marilyn Monroe as a major star. Hathaway also guided John Wayne to his Academy Award-winning performance in the original version of True Grit. In Henry Hathaway: The Lives of a Hollywood Director, Harold N. Pomainville looks at the life and work of this Hollywood maverick. The author charts Hathaway’s career from his first low budget Western in the early 1930s through his last film in 1974. In between, he focuses his attention of the films that brought the director acclaim, including The Lives of Bengal Lancer (1935)—for which Hathaway received an Oscar nomination—noir thrillers The House on 92nd Street and Kiss of Death, and his documentary-like production of Call Northside 777 with Jimmy Stewart. In this book, the author captures Hathaway’s extroverted personality and keen intellect. He befriended some of the best known celebrities of his generationand was known for his loyalty, generosity, and integrity. He was also notorious in Hollywood for his powerful ego, explosive temper, and his dictatorial style on the set. Henry Hathaway: The Lives of a Hollywood Director is a must-read for anyone interested in the enduring work of this unheralded, but no-less-noteworthy, master of American cinema.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elderly Abuse and Mental Illness By: John Walshe The main point of this book is to raise the question that the great Greek philosopher Plato raised almost two thousand five hundred years ago. Should we prosecute and incarcerate the elderly? Let me also ask: should we prosecute and incarcerate the mentally ill, as we do now? Lastly, how should we treat the elderly who have mental breakdowns as so many will? If the answers are yes, should we just punish as being imprisoned does—and should they also be abused? This document illustrates the atrocities that can happen when we don’t recognize and appreciate the limitations of the mentally ill and elderly.

This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 1044 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive, two-volume work examines domestic abuse in the United States and worldwide, providing research, personal stories, and primary documents that reveal the extent of the problem. An estimated 1,300 to 1,800 Americans are murdered by intimate partners each year. Far from being a problem that only impacts women, domestic violence hurts society as a whole both socially as well as financially, with an estimated direct and indirect cost of nearly $6 billion annually in the United States. This book provides a timely and thorough reference for educators, students, scholars and activists seeking to better understand the global issue of domestic abuse. The entries document the history of the domestic violence prevention movement, provide explanations for abuse, identify warning signs of hidden abuse, describe types of victims and offenders, and supply information on interventions and prevention programs. Written by an array of experts in the field, the book also integrates the personal stories of survivors and addresses abuse as a global issue by covering topics such as acid attacks and female genital mutilation.
Download or read book AMERICA COULD BE BEAUTIFUL written by Dr. George B. Bailey, Jr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-11-18 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In times like these, no American who truly love the United States of America cannot honestly say our nation is being lead in the wrong direction from the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. And with the support of liberal media and progressive Americans, our core-values, Constitution, God, family, and nation are being devalued in thought, word, and deed. Thusly our nation has begun to embrace every idol worship that was forbidden by our Sovereign-Creator-God. Now observe what we use to lo be in the eyes of our Founding Fathers under the power of God, and four hundred later what we have gradually become a godless nation in every institution that was founded on biblical teaching. The present mirror that reflects our ugly disposition and marred image is not a picture that cannot be changed from “Ugly” to “Beautiful” just by making a “U-Turn” back to God who created us I His image, then said is good. America, we do not have to continue living as slaves to a corrupt, evil and doctorial leadership, for we have been blessed with so much goodness from God as a fee people to be threaten to act a fool in fear of the very people we elected to political office. It is far past a human solution that will correct our problem, so we are desperately need of God’s divine intervention, that is, if we are desirous to be beautiful again in our conduct that brings honor and glory unto God, family, and country.
