This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotionally Driven is a rare and in-depth look at the ways in which emotions are the driving force behind the inappropriate behaviors of Urban raised black males in America. This rarely discussed subject of emotionally driven behavior brings attention to how efforts to teach the black male population to physically survive the everyday dangers of living in an Urban American city, has backfired and created an extremely dangerous and violent race, community, gender and population. Plagued by gun violence, drugs, Struggling Public Education systems, property damage, lack of positive male role models, abandonment of fatherly obligations, divorce and lack of Community unity, Urban American cities throughout America are doomed to totally collapse if we don't take the time to educate our young black boys on the importance of appropriately expressing their emotions.
Book Synopsis Coolposing: Secrets of Black Male Leadership in America by : Dr. George Cross, DM
Download or read book Coolposing: Secrets of Black Male Leadership in America written by Dr. George Cross, DM and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychology and social science practically ignored “cool” as a legitimate topic of research. While in fact, the occurrence of cool has played an important role in the historical, social and cultural development of Black people, especially some Black males. Some Black male businessmen use cool behaviors to fight against stress caused by meaningful life supporting social, economic, political, and business issues. Coolposing is a leadership strategy based on African cultural elements of communicative individuality and mysticism, emerging from influences of “cool pose.” It is a part of character, and character is the representation of one’s self in everyday life. It is a positive response by America’s Black males (and not niggas) to alienation, lynching, and loss of community grounded in the coolness of the first group of captured, yet resistant Africans, who arrived at Jamestown, Virginia in 1619. Within this book, readers will learn all about this often ignored subject, its central elements, and the nine kinds of “cool.” Coolposing proposes a major shift for the best mental, spiritual and physical health of Black males and prescribes measures for crisis intervention, as well as for preventing mental burnout.
Book Synopsis CANT CULTURE: the Social Engineering of Black Male Failure and a Solution to the Madness by : Andre Fields
Download or read book CANT CULTURE: the Social Engineering of Black Male Failure and a Solution to the Madness written by Andre Fields and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-25 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Open Synopsis on CANT CULTURE. MALADAPTIVE COPING + INTERNALIZED STIGMA = CANT CULTURE CANT CULTURE was created by ideas. It was built around the collective Black male's idea that, "the world is unfair to us", "we have no control over our futures", and "therefore we have little worth". This idea was built into the Black male psyche via the social mechanisms of American Racism, National Stigma, and Systemic Discrimination. MALADAPTIVE COPING The CANT CULTURE ideology expresses itself through goal avoidance, withdrawal, self-sabotage, minimal long-term planning, and the avoidance of responsibility. These counter-productive coping behaviors serve the purpose of COLLECTIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTION to an unfair and threatening social environment. These collective maladaptive coping behaviors serve the purpose of minimizing the fear, stress, sadness, anger, and frustration connected to the frequent and intense experiencing of social stigma and marginalization. Race-related stress, fear, frustration, sadness, and anger are minimized through CANT CULTURE'S creation of a set of norms, customs, values, and beliefs that are different from those of the discriminating mainstream group. Black males who are psychologically immersed in the beliefs, norms, customs, and expressions of CANT CULTURE are role models for each other as they inform and inspire one another with distorted messages, failure-laced expectations, and dysfunctional forms of self-expression. Guided by the beliefs, expectations, and norms of CANT CULTURE, young Black males are eventually driven to obtain identities that are characterized by socially counter-productive forms of expression. INTERNALIZED STIGMA When a Black male internalizes stigma, he downloads a combination of psychological tendencies and personality traits that will predispose him to social failure. These psychological tendencies and personality traits (i.e. the fear of failure, anticipated race-related catastrophe, chronic race-related pessimism, recurring sense of race-related detachment from success, etc.) combine with maladaptive coping strategies (i.e. self-sabotage, avoidance, withdrawal, escapism, etc.) to compel Black males to pursue socially inappropriate goals (misguided motivations) that are ineffective as it pertains to acquiring the American Dream. This leads to a developing Black boy investing his mental and emotional energy on the standards, goals, aspirations, and pursuits of a counterculture that psychologically embraces failure and underachievement. This state of existence negatively influences general decision-making, long-term planning, impulse control, emotion regulation, etc. ESCAPING CANT CULTURE The purpose of this book is to re-socialize Black males into a classification of American citizen that is capable of success and expected to succeed. The identity and image of these prototypical Black males will be linked to a set of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that will reverse the trend of negative life outcomes Black males characteristically encounter.

Book Synopsis White Prescriptions? by : Terence D. Fitzgerald
Download or read book White Prescriptions? written by Terence D. Fitzgerald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all the debates about black males and their role in American society, there has been little attention to a dangerous and growing trend: the overprescription of Ritalin and other behavioral drugs. This book reveals how and why black males are disproportionately targeted and controlled by American schools in ways that hamper and endanger their educational success. Fitzgerald shows how the government, medical practitioners, and the pharmaceuticals industry have facilitated this oppressive trend, setting it against a larger historical backdrop of racism in American education.
Book Synopsis Political Psychology by : David Patrick Houghton
Download or read book Political Psychology written by David Patrick Houghton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-25 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What shapes political behavior more: the situations in which individuals find themselves, or the internal psychological makeup---beliefs, values, and so on---of those individuals? This is perhaps the leading division within the psychological study of politics today. Political Psychology: Situations, Individuals, and Cases, 2nd edition, provides a concise, readable, and conceptually organized introduction to the topic of political psychology by examining this very question. Using this situationism--dispositionism framework—which roughly parallels the concerns of social and cognitive psychology—this book focuses on such key explanatory mechanisms as behaviorism, obedience, personality, groupthink, cognition, affect, emotion, and neuroscience to explore topics ranging from voting behavior and racism to terrorism and international relations. The new edition includes a new chapter on the psychology of the media and communication. Houghton has also updated the text to analyze recent political events such as the 2012 election, and to include up-and-coming research in the areas of neuroscience, behavioral economics, and more. Houghton's clear and engaging examples directly challenge students to place themselves in both real and hypothetical situations which involve intense moral and political dilemmas. This highly readable text will provide students with the conceptual foundation they need to make sense of the rapidly changing and increasingly important field of political psychology.
Book Synopsis Eight Propositions by : Joe L. Rempson
Download or read book Eight Propositions written by Joe L. Rempson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rempson takes issue with those who lay the plight of African Americans on racism, not seeing it, today, as a major obstacle to black progress. Rather, he traces the origin back to what he terms the African American Garden of Eden. In it, W. E. B. Dubois outlasted Booker T. Washington and fathered a tradition which Rempson argues has produced a victim identity and an emphasis on the system rather than the self. Only black males offer a way out, he declares, because it is entirely “our black males who are keeping us down and curtailing our progress,” in contrast to black females, who “are doing OK.” They are plagued by what Rempson calls the African American Male School Adaptability Crisis (AMSAC). Their academic performance ranks at the bottom, alone, below black female students and below white, Asian, and Hispanic male students. In large urban areas, their high school dropout rate is 59 percent and, nationally, they lag behind in college attendance and graduation rates. The outcome, Rempson argues, is dysfunctionality and the existence of hedonistic norms which hinder family and community stability. But while black males are the problem, Rempson contends, it is nevertheless only they who can solve it because research and experience show that it takes males to bring up and change other males. Though intended for everyone, he therefore writes his book to his fellow advantaged black males and makes a passionate plea for them to step up and, with the help of black females and of the nation, take the lead. As their guide, he has formulated eight propositions. Arrived at through an examination of impressively extensive data from numerous sources and disciplines, they are a marked departure from the customary. Most strikingly, delicate matters, such as those which pertain to intelligence quotient (IQ) and culture, are openly confronted and dealt with. But, Rempson writes, “unless confronted, we will not solve our problems.” “Nor,” he continues, “can we solve them unless we cut the umbilical cord to white America. We have no right to expect it to be our savior; nor are we justified in perceiving it as our oppressor.” Forcefully and finely written, Rempson’s book is a singular and courageous contribution. Alone, his eight propositions make it a worthy read.
Book Synopsis Critical Trauma Studies by : Monica Casper
Download or read book Critical Trauma Studies written by Monica Casper and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trauma is a universal human experience. While each person responds differently to trauma, its presence in our lives nonetheless marks a continual thread through human history and prehistory. In Critical Trauma Studies, a diverse group of writers, activists, and scholars of sociology, anthropology, literature, and cultural studies reflects on the study of trauma and how multidisciplinary approaches lend richness and a sense of deeper understanding to this burgeoning field of inquiry. The original essays within this collection cover topics such as female suicide bombers from the Chechen Republic, singing prisoners in Iranian prison camps, sexual assault and survivor advocacy, and families facing the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. As it proceeds, Critical Trauma Studies never loses sight of the way those who study trauma as an academic field, and those who experience, narrate, and remediate trauma as a personal and embodied event, inform one another. Theoretically adventurous and deeply particular, this book aims to advance trauma studies as a discipline that transcends intellectual boundaries, to be mapped but also to be unmoored from conceptual and practical imperatives. Remaining embedded in lived experiences and material realities, Critical Trauma Studies frames the field as both richly unbounded and yet clearly defined, historical, and evidence-based.
Book Synopsis The Science of Learning and Development by : Pamela Cantor
Download or read book The Science of Learning and Development written by Pamela Cantor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential text unpacks major transformations in the study of learning and human development and provides evidence for how science can inform innovation in the design of settings, policies, practice, and research to enhance the life path, opportunity and prosperity of every child. The ideas presented provide researchers and educators with a rationale for focusing on the specific pathways and developmental patterns that may lead a specific child, with a specific family, school, and community, to prosper in school and in life. Expanding key published articles and expert commentary, the book explores a profound evolution in thinking that integrates findings from psychology with biology through sociology, education, law, and history with an emphasis on institutionalized inequities and disparate outcomes and how to address them. It points toward possible solutions through an understanding of and addressing the dynamic relations between a child and the contexts within which he or she lives, offering all researchers of human development and education a new way to understand and promote healthy development and learning for diverse, specific youth regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or history of adversity, challenge, or trauma. The book brings together scholars and practitioners from the biological/medical sciences, the social and behavioral sciences, educational science, and fields of law and social and educational policy. It provides an invaluable and unique resource for understanding the bases and status of the new science, and presents a roadmap for progress that will frame progress for at least the next decade and perhaps beyond.

Book Synopsis Interpreting Tyler Perry by : Jamel Santa Cruze Bell
Download or read book Interpreting Tyler Perry written by Jamel Santa Cruze Bell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tyler Perry has become a significant figure in media due to his undeniable box office success led by his character Madea and popular TV sitcoms House of Payne and Meet the Browns. Perry built a multimedia empire based largely on his popularity among African American viewers and has become a prominent and dominant cultural storyteller. Along with Perry’s success has come scrutiny by some social critics and Hollywood well-knowns, like Spike Lee, who have started to deconstruct the images in Perry’s films and TV shows suggesting, as Lee did, that Perry has used his power to advance stereotypical depictions of African Americans. The book provides a rich and thorough overview of Tyler Perry’s media works. In so doing, contributors represent and approach their analyses of Perry’s work from a variety of theoretical and methodological angles. The main themes explored in the volume include the representation of (a) Black authenticity and cultural production, (b) class, religion, and spirituality, (c) gender and sexuality, and (d) Black love, romance, and family. Perry’s critical acclaim is also explored.

Book Synopsis Risks and Problem Behaviors in Adolescence by : Richard M. Lerner
Download or read book Risks and Problem Behaviors in Adolescence written by Richard M. Lerner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles in this volume illustrate how development is propelled by the bidirectional relations that occur between the person and all levels of the context. The authors argue that adolescent life is embedded in a complicated developmental system involving multiple features of the individual (e.g., biology, emotions, personality, and cognition) and the multiple levels of his or her social ecology (e.g., peers, family, school, the workplace, and the public policy and legal systems that structure and impact behavioural opportunities for and the actions of adolescents). These articles have important implications for the design of interventions aimed at adolescent problem behaviours.

Book Synopsis Men’s Health Equity by : Derek M. Griffith
Download or read book Men’s Health Equity written by Derek M. Griffith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide, men have more opportunities, privileges, and power, yet they also have shorter life expectancies than women. Why is this? Why are there stark differences in the burden of disease, quality of life, and length of life amongst men, by race, ethnicity, (dis)ability status, sexual orientation, gender identity, rurality, and national context? Why is this a largely unexplored area of research? Men’s Health Equity is the first volume to describe men’s health equity as a field of study that emerged from gaps in and between research on men’s health and health inequities. This handbook provides a comprehensive review of foundations of the field; summarizes the issues unique to different populations; discusses key frameworks for studying and exploring issues that cut across populations in the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Central America, and South America; and offers strategies for improving the health of key population groups and achieving men’s health equity overall. This book systematically explores the underlying causes of these differences, describes the specific challenges faced by particular groups of men, and offers policy and programmatic strategies to improve the health and well-being of men and pursue men’s health equity. Men’s Health Equity will be the first collection to present the state of the science in this field, its progress, its breadth, and its future. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, researchers, students, and professionals interested in men’s health equity, men’s health, psychology of men’s health, gender studies, public health, and global health.
