Download or read book The UnDutchables written by Colin White and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UnDutchables: An Observation of the Netherlands, its culture, its inhabitants - "A sometimes funny, sometimes scathing portrayal of (Dutch) national habits." Washington Post. A cynically apt, precise yet funny scrutiny of the Netherlands. You may not have known that the Dutch can be laughed at. The book exposes that which is missing from the myriad of flattering photo-compilations & tourist books. After a historically-based introduction, the reader is advised: "The longer you stay, the deeper you sink in." There follows a satirical exploration of the most diverse aspects of daily Dutch life; from coffee to child rearing, from train travel to the toilet. Bikes: "They are called fiets, probably because that's what powers them." The Dutch flag: "With true originality, the national flag is the French tricolore turned sideways." White & Boucke know their subject matter inside out. As a leading Dutch daily newspaper explains it: "In a very exact yet funny way, The UnDutchable discloses all the secrets about us that we really would have preferred to keep to ourselves."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Het derde jaarrapport gaat in op de effecten van armoede. Heeft het leven van een beperkt inkomen gevolgen voor de gezondheidssituatie van mensen? Zijn mensen met weinig geld beperkt in hun maatschappelijk functioneren, bijvoorbeeld doordat ze minder kunnen deelnemen aan organisaties en verenigingen, minder participeren in culturele activiteiten en minder informele contacten onderhouden? Wat betekent een gering inkomen voor de maatschappelijke participatie van ouderen? En is er een verband tussen armoede en criminaliteit, in de zin dat kinderen uit gedepriveerde gezinnen meer crimineel en andere regelovertredend gedrag vertonen dan kinderen uit meer welgestelde gezinnen? In verschillende hoofdstukken wordt verder ingegaan op de centrale begrippen in de discussie over armoede en sociale uitsluiting, op de oorzaken van armoede in Nederland en op diverse aspecten van het gevoerde armoedebeleid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In bekeringsgeschiedenissen bij elkaar zien we, dat er een groot verschil is in ervaring, in vrienden of vriendinnen. Ze hebben wel dezelfde Vader. Als het geloof in Christus doorbreekt, richt het zich op Christus en om door Hem met God verzoend te worden. Ze hebben ook één Geest, die hen tot Christus leidt. Zo hebben ze in één Heere, één geloof, één doop, één God en Vader van allen, Die boven allen is. Het is zo droevig dat deze eenheid zo weinig wordt gerealiseerd. De kerk van Christus bloed uit de 1000 gewonden. En het ergste is, dat ze het dikwijls nog elkaar aandoen. De levensschetsen in deze tweede bundel tonen aan hoe vruchtbaar de onderlinge liefdeband is. Met het doel om deze band aan te bevelen wordt dit tweede deel gepubliceerd.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over the world, many people who live in urban areas find themselves in an arduous social situation. In the third world, people in overcrowded metropolitan areas have a problem in maintaining even the slightest standards of living. But also richer parts of the world, the United States, Europe and the far-East, show growing social inequalities in their cities. And social problems are not confined to the large metropolitan areas: impoverishment, long-term unemployment, social isolation, and the dependency on welfare programs pops up in medium-sized cities and even in smaller communities. At the same time, these cities are confronted with a growing bureaucratic conglomerate which is increasingly inapt to fight social degeneration. The catastrophe seems to be total: how to deal at once with declining social conditions and bureaucratic inadequacy? Two American authors, Osborne and Plastrik (1997), claim to have found the answer: just banish bureaucracy. The liberating accomplishments of the free market will elevate ordinary citizens and force lazy, incompetent bureaucrats to do their work properly. If they succeed, they survive. Otherwise, these agencies will vanish. They illustrate their arguments with the American city of 'Uphill Battle' which stopped its decline by reinventing government. Strict performance measures, allotting financial controls and incentives to the citizens, and improving accountability have saved the city. We should, however, be very careful in taking such measures so far that they banish bureaucracy. It is far from obvious that simply banishing bureaucracy indeed will help people in poor social situations.
