Download or read book Manning Up written by Kay S Hymowitz and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Manning Up, Manhattan Institute fellow and City Journal contributing editor Kay Hymowitz argues that the gains of the feminist revolution have had a dramatic, unanticipated effect on the current generation of young men. Traditional roles of family man and provider have been turned upside down as "pre-adult" men, stuck between adolescence and "real" adulthood, find themselves lost in a world where women make more money, are more educated, and are less likely to want to settle down and build a family. Their old scripts are gone, and young men find themselves adrift. Unlike women, they have no biological clock telling them it's time to grow up. Hymowitz argues that it's time for these young men to "man up."

Download or read book Young Man Arise written by Brian V. Warth and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brian Warth: born into a world divided by race and gang affiliations, filled with violence. He grew up with one goal: to belong to the gang. To earn their acceptance and respect. To be cool. He knew no other life, no other future, no other dream. His earliest memories were filled with violence, loss, fear, and death. One older brother was gunned down in the streets and died in his teens. Another survived being riddled with bullets. Despite this, he followed in their footsteps. Despite knowing the pain of his brother's death, he was involved in the shooting death of a rival gang member, inflicting on others what he had suffered. At age sixteen, he was tried as an adult and sent to prison for life. Brian Warth: born again in the Los Angeles prison system, in a world divided by race and gang affiliations, weighed down with guilt, grief, rage and despair. His mind and heart claimed and cleansed by Christ, he had one goal and dream: To take the fresh hope of the Gospel to everyone in his new world. On the outside were people who loved him, who had prayed for him since his gang years. Their hope: to be granted parole. However, in power was a governor who declared that the only way a "lifer" was going to leave prison while he was governor was in a pine box. Let Brian tell you in his own words of his journey downward into the world of gangs, how he finally came face-to-face with the consequences of his actions and attitude, and the spiritual journey that followed, bringing him upward from the lowest point a man could ever face in his life. You, too, will arise.

Download or read book Redeeming Masculinity written by Peter D. Holmes and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-07-16 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Paul II spoke of a feminine genius, using the phrase to describe the unique and positive contribution of women to relationships, the church, and society. What of men? There is considerable debate regarding the nature, roles, and responsibilities of men. What does the church have to say to a boy or young man searching for guidance in developing a genuinely Christian manhood? Or to parents, schools, and communities seeking to cultivate this in their young men? Or to the faithful seeking to understand the church’s teachings and to apply these in public and private life? This book seeks to answer the question: Is there a masculine genius? Is there a unique and positive contribution men bring to relationships, the church, and society?
Download or read book Global Humanities Reader written by Renuka Gusain and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Humanities Reader is a collaboratively edited collection of primary sources with student-centered support features. It serves as the core curriculum of the University of North Carolina Asheville's almost-sixty-year-old interdisciplinary Humanities Program. Its three volumes--Engaging Ancient Worlds and Perspectives (Volume 1), Engaging Premodern Worlds and Perspectives (Volume 2), and Engaging Modern Worlds and Perspectives (Volume 3)--offer accessible ways to explore facets of human subjectivity and interconnectedness across cultures, times, and places. In highlighting the struggles and resilient strategies for surviving and thriving from multiple perspectives and positionalities, and through diverse voices, these volumes course correct from humanities textbooks that remain Western-centric. One of the main features of the The Global Humanities Reader is a sustained and nuanced focus on cultivating the ability to ask questions--to inquire--while enhancing culturally aware, reflective, and interdisciplinary engagements with the materials. The editorial team created a thoroughly interactive text with the following unique features that work together to actualize student success: * Cross-cultural historical introductions to each volume * Comprehensive and source-specific timelines highlighting periods, events, and people around the world * An introduction for each source with bolded key terms and questions to facilitate active engagement * Primed and Ready questions (PARs)--questions just before and after a reading that activate students' own knowledge and skills * Inquiry Corner--questions consisting of four types: Content, Comparative, Critical, and Connection * Beyond the Classroom--explore how ideas discussed in sources can apply to broader social contexts, such as job, career, project teams or professional communities * Glossary of Tags--topical 'hubs' that point to exciting new connections across multiple sources These volumes reflect the central role of Humanities in deepening an empathic understanding of human experience and cultivating culturally appropriate and community-centered problem-solving skills that help us flourish as global and local citizens.
