Download or read book Clashing Waves written by Waldo L. Pez-Aqueres and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in Havana, Cuba, author Waldo Lopez-Aqueres's life has been one of challenge, heartbreak, and adversity. At four, he almost lost his own life shortly after his mother lost hers. He was then rejected by his paternal grandparents and siblings. But he found comfort and acceptance with his maternal brothers and sisters, and from their love he found courage, hope, and an intense motivation to learn. As his body grew, so did his confidence and determination to rise above the terrors of his childhood. His young dreams were nearly derailed, however, by the arrival of a totalitarian communist government. At twenty, his world - like that of many other Cubans - began to crumble around him, and his life and his ambitions were interrupted. Frustrated and disenchanted with the Cuban revolution, he immigrated to the United States at twenty-two to begin a new life. It was a daily struggle to adapt to a new culture, language and way of life. Waldo did adapt, though; he went on to achieve personal, professional, and academic success in his adopted new home. Dr. Lopez-Aqueres exemplifies how the power of the human spirit can rise above adversity and how anyone with dedication, perseverance, and willpower can attain a meaningful and gratifying life. This is the story of his American dream come true, shared in intimate and inspirational detail.

Download or read book Self Concept Motivation and Identity written by Frédéric Guay and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of the Self has a long history that dates back from the ancient Greeks such as Aristotle to more contemporary thinkers such as Wundt, James, Mead, Cooley, Freud, Rogers, and Erikson (Tesser & Felson, 2000). Research on the Self relates to a range of phenomena including self-esteem, self-concept, self-protection, self-verification, self-awareness, identity, self-efficacy, self-determination etc. that could be sharply different or very similar. Despite this long tradition of thinkers and the numerous studies conducted on the Self, this concept is still not very well defined. More precisely, it is not a precise object of study, but rather a collection of loosely related subtopics (Baumesiter, 1998). Also, in the philosophical literature, the legitimacy of the concept of “self” has been brought into question. Some authors have argued that the self is not a psychological entity per se, but rather an illusion created by the complex interplay between cognitive and neurological subsystems (Zahavi, 2005). Although no definitive consensus has been reached regarding the Self, we emphasis in this volume that the Self and its related phenomena including self-concept, motivation, and identity are crucial for understanding consciousness and therefore important to understand human behavior. Self-concept, motivation and identity: Underpinning success with research and practice provides thus a unique insight into self-concept and its relationship to motivation and identity from varied theoretical and empirical perspectives. This volume is intended to develop both theoretical and methodological ideas and to present empirical evidence demonstrating the importance of theory and research to effective practice.

Download or read book Demitasse Chastity written by Ernesto de Montisalbi and published by Ernesto de Montisalbi. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demitasse Chastity is a provocative story of a fertility nurse who decides to become an elective single mother, seeks a donor, but then takes the father in. A forbidden relationship between them is formed that must come to an end. The tale emphasizes the folly that causes people to enter intense unmanageable relationships exempt from pure reason, creating a precarious balance between what is feasible and what is not and what one desires and should avoid. The story exposes the gradual mental development of an alienated father from victim to victor and from inarticulate destitute to philosopher. It is a philosophical narrative essay on the confrontation of different attitudes. It serves as a refutation and refinement of human frailty to embellish the essence of being. At the same time, the work is a search for the hollowness of evil in a case of ontological disenfranchisement, parental abortion, and parental alienation. Both biological parents are intellectuals, able to contemplate their situation and make decisions for the child based on reason and emotions. The story deals with pride, plight, duty, feelings, justice, prejudice, trust, mistrust, and well-intended actions that are, in fact, basic human blunders. Simultaneously, education, abortion, patricide, human rights, children's rights, love, marriage, adultery, life, death, justice, psychoanalysis, and artificial reproduction are discussed. The text mentions in passing narcissism and psychopathy or sociopathy as well. The narrative, formed as a tidal wave composition as in music, in a cloud of coffee aroma, will pique the philosopher's interest. Still, it will also appeal to the general reader tempted to immerse themselves in a realistic story pertinent to our contemporary world, in which moral code and judicial interpretation typically fall behind. Parents and children who have experienced the anguish of alienation due to parental estrangement, or stolen identity in the context of artificial procreation or adoption, may find comfort in this work, as may anyone attempting to soften the blows of daily life. People interested in donating, adopting, or parenting in general, will discover the moral components they need in this book to make ethical decisions. Others may find amusement in the author's use of language and the sarcasm of despair to convey the underlying humor, even in dire circumstances.

Download or read book Improving Urban Science Education written by Kenneth Tobin and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2005-04-07 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many would argue that the state of urban science education has been static for the past several decades and that there is little to learn from it. Rather than accepting this deficit perspective, Improving Urban Science Education strives to recognize and understand the successes that exist there by systematically documenting seven years of research into issues salient to teaching and learning in urban high school science classes. Grounded in the post structuralism of William Sewell_and brought to life through the experiences of different students, teachers, and school settings in Philadelphia_this book shows how teachers and students can work together to enact meaningful science education when social and cultural differences as well as inappropriate curricula often make the challenges seem insurmountable. Chapters contain rich images of urban youth and each strives to offer insights into problems and suggestions for resolving them. Most significant, in spite of the challenges, the research offers hope and shows that fresh approaches to teaching and learning can lead students_some who have already been pronounced academic, even societal, failures_to becoming avid and deep learners of science.

Download or read book Lines Were Drawn written by Teena F. Horn and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lines Were Drawn looks at a group of Mississippi teenagers whose entire high school experience, beginning in 1969, was under federal court-ordered racial integration. Through oral histories and other research, this group memoir considers how the students, despite their markedly different backgrounds, shared a common experience that greatly influences their present interactions and views of the world—sometimes in surprising ways. The book is also an exploration of memory and the ways in which the same event can be remembered in very different ways by the participants. The editors (proud members of Murrah High School's Class of 1973) and more than fifty students and teachers address the reality of forced desegregation in the Deep South from a unique perspective—that of the faculty and students who experienced it and made it work, however briefly. The book tries to capture the few years in which enough people were so willing to do something about racial division that they sacrificed immediate expectations to give integration a true chance. This period recognizes a rare moment when the political will almost caught up with the determination of the federal courts to finally do something about race. Because of that collision of circumstances, southerners of both races assembled in the public schools and made integration work by coming together, and this book seeks to capture those experiences for subsequent generations.

Download or read book Reflections on Anti Semitism written by Alain Badiou and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the inception of the "War on Terror," Israel has become increasingly important to Western imperial strategy and ever more aggressive in its policies towards the Palestinians. A key ideological weapon in this development is the cynical and unjustified accusation of "anti-Semitism" to silence protest and dissent. For historical reasons, this tactic has been deployed most forcefully in France, and in the first of the two essays in this book French writers Alain Badiou and Eric Hazan demolish the "anti-Semitism is everywhere" claim used to bludgeon critics of the Israeli state and those who stand in solidarity with the banlieue youth. In "The Philo-Semitic Reaction," Ivan Segr undertakes a meticulous deconstruction of a rampant reactionary trend that identifies Jewish interests with the "democratic" West. Segr's aim is to uphold a universalist position and to defend Jewish tradition from Zionist ideological distortion.

Download or read book Transforming Neighborhoods a Life at a Time written by Tim Wallingford and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a modern application of the apostles strategy to fulfill the Great Commission. Jesus walked over 3,000 miles through neighborhoods throughout Palestine. Jesus commanded his disciples to go into a neighborhood, find a worthy person, stay with them, and meet the neighbors. The disciples first showed love to them by meeting physical need(s). Only then would they share Gods love story, the gospel of Christ. Today most churches focus on attracting the neighbors into the church but this is not working. Less than 20% of Americans now regularly attend church and by 2050 if the church doesnt change, it is estimated attendance will drop to 11.7%. This can be reversed if we adopt Jesus evangelistic strategy. This book shows how Luke packaged the never-changing gospel for ten different types of neighborsthe hurting, religious, spiritualist, seeker, fanatic, good person, abuser, skeptic, misinformed and pleasure seeker. This book and its training manual give answers to over one hundred questions about spiritual matters!
