Book Synopsis Haa K?usteey?, Our Culture by : Nora Dauenhauer
Download or read book Haa K?usteey?, Our Culture written by Nora Dauenhauer and published by Ewha Womans University Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haa Kusteeyi, Our Culture: Tlingit Life Stories is an introduction to Tlingit social and political history. Each biography is compelling in its own merit, but when all are taken together, the collection shows patterns of interaction among people and communities of today, and across the generations. By combining historical documents and photographs with accounts gathered from living memory, the book also enables the present, living generations to interact with their past. The book features biographies and life histories of more than 50 men and women, most born between 1880 and 1910, including a special section on the founders of the Alaska Native Brotherhood. Additional lives are described tangentially. Each biography or life history follows a standard format that includes vital statistics, genealogical information, names in Tlingit and English, and major achievements. But each is also unique. Like the lives they describe, all vary in length, detail, and style, depending on authorship and available human and archival resources. To the fullest extent possible oral and written material from the subjects and their families has been incorporated. Some is more anecdotal, some more historical. The appendixes include previously unpublished historical documents and Tlingit texts with facing translations. The lives in this volume show how individual people both shaped and were shaped by their time and place in history.
Book Synopsis Love Your Enemies by : Arthur C. Brooks
Download or read book Love Your Enemies written by Arthur C. Brooks and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER To get ahead today, you have to be a jerk, right? Divisive politicians. Screaming heads on television. Angry campus activists. Twitter trolls. Today in America, there is an “outrage industrial complex” that prospers by setting American against American, creating a “culture of contempt”—the habit of seeing people who disagree with us not as merely incorrect, but as worthless and defective. Maybe, like more than nine out of ten Americans, you dislike it. But hey, either you play along, or you’ll be left behind, right? Wrong. In Love Your Enemies, social scientist and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller From Strength to Strength Arthur C. Brooks shows that abuse and outrage are not the right formula for lasting success. Brooks blends cutting-edge behavioral research, ancient wisdom, and a decade of experience leading one of America’s top policy think tanks in a work that offers a better way to lead based on bridging divides and mending relationships. Brooks’ prescriptions are unconventional. To bring America together, we shouldn’t try to agree more. There is no need for mushy moderation, because disagreement is the secret to excellence. Civility and tolerance shouldn’t be our goals, because they are hopelessly low standards. And our feelings toward our foes are irrelevant; what matters is how we choose to act. Love Your Enemies offers a clear strategy for victory for a new generation of leaders. It is a rallying cry for people hoping for a new era of American progress. Most of all, it is a roadmap to arrive at the happiness that comes when we choose to love one another, despite our differences.

Book Synopsis Culture Is Our Business by : Marshall McLuhan
Download or read book Culture Is Our Business written by Marshall McLuhan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture Is Our Business is Marshall McLuhan's sequel to The Mechanical Bride: Folklore of Industrial Man. Returning to the subject of advertising newly armed with the electric sensibility that informed The Gutenberg Galaxy, Understanding Media, and The Medium Is the Massage, McLuhan takes on the mad men (a play on the ad men of Madison Avenue) of the sixties. Approaching commercial messages as unacknowledged art forms and cultural artifacts, McLuhan delivers a series of probes that pick apart their meanings and underlying values, their paradoxes and paralogisms, and their overt function as persuasion and propaganda. Through humor, satire, and a poetic sensibility, he provides us with a serious exploration of the consumer culture that emerged out of the electronic media environment. In keeping with the participatory ethos of the Internet that McLuhan so clearly anticipated, this is a book that is meant to open the door to further study, reflection, and discussion, and to encourage the development of critical reception on the part of the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culture of this country has become so far secularized that there is a danger that its Christian origin may be forgotten.

Book Synopsis Here, Our Culture Is Hard by : Laura McClusky
Download or read book Here, Our Culture Is Hard written by Laura McClusky and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage among the Maya of Central America is a model of complementarity between a man and a woman. This union demands mutual respect and mutual service. Yet some husbands beat their wives. In this pioneering book, Laura McClusky examines the lives of several Mopan Maya women in Belize. Using engaging ethnographic narratives and a highly accessible analysis of the lives that have unfolded before her, McClusky explores Mayan women's strategies for enduring, escaping, and avoiding abuse. Factors such as gender, age inequalities, marriage patterns, family structure, educational opportunities, and economic development all play a role in either preventing or contributing to domestic violence in the village. McClusky argues that using narrative ethnography, instead of cold statistics or dehumanized theoretical models, helps to keep the focus on people, "rehumanizing" our understanding of violence. This highly accessible book brings to the social sciences new ways of thinking about, representing, and studying abuse, marriage, death, gender roles, and violence.

Book Synopsis From CULTURE to CULTURE by : Randall Powers
Download or read book From CULTURE to CULTURE written by Randall Powers and published by Lioncrest Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Company culture (noun) kuhm-puh-nee kuhl-cher: The values leaders and employees share, language they use, behaviors they display, and connections they have that establish how they engage and interact in the workplace. Company culture influences the roles and responsibilities of every employee within the organization, from executive leadership down to the front lines. A strong, healthy company culture drives productivity and raises profitability, and disengaged employees cost companies billions, yet many executives rarely associate their culture with their bottom line. Today, employee engagement stakes are higher than ever because executives have to consider the impact their company culture has on external stakeholders as well. Investors, consumers, and even the government are now interested in whether the organizations they do business with have values that align with theirs and demonstrate behaviors that match those values. Executive leadership must define company culture and understand how to implement it and, ultimately, measure and improve it. In From CULTURE to CULTURE, Dr. Donte Vaughn and Randall Powers introduce their culture performance management methodology and present a behavior-driven system to operationalize company culture and increase employee engagement.

Book Synopsis Philosophy and Its Place in Our Culture by : John Oulton Wisdom
Download or read book Philosophy and Its Place in Our Culture written by John Oulton Wisdom and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1975, Philosophy and Its Place in Our Culture aims to show what relevance philosophy may have to human affairs. In the course of this study, a number of other important issues are brought to light. Issues like the need to explain in a new way, and a form intelligible to everyone, what philosophy is about, and to evaluate philosophical achievement of traditional aims- a chastening enterprise. The way is then clear to seek new functions. Philosophy offers signposts first to the inner nature of its practitioners, and then to aspects of the nature of society and its historical periods. This knowledge is two pronged. Philosophy not only affords a clue to man and society but can even prove a powerful influence over them. John Wisdom discusses such influences, and considers the path open to man. This is a must read for students of philosophy.

Book Synopsis Our New Enlightened Culture by : Terry Sands
Download or read book Our New Enlightened Culture written by Terry Sands and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-02-08 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth book in my series of sequels to on Our New Human Consciousness. The first book in this series, Our Global Wave of Change, discusses the nature of the massive change we are experiencing, how this change affects us as individuals and as a culture, and steps you can take to survive the change psychologically. The second book, Our New Human MindSkills, discusses how we will the change the way we use our mind and practical steps you can take to re-engineer your mental operating system. The third book, Our New Path of Self-Discovery, discusses the question of ‘Who am I, and why am I here’, the history of the ‘spiritual path’ imported from other cultures and religions, our new path of self-discovery for truth and enlightenment in our culture. In this fourth book, Our New Enlightened Culture, we broaden our scope and look at how the new path of self-discovery extends to the upliftment and enlightenment of our culture. We are a culture in search of its spirit, and the implications for our culture are massive as our perspective of reality expands. Many of those whose awareness is opening in this time of change will extend their consciousness to share in accepting responsibility for our new culture. Who are the new ‘Pathfinders’? The new ‘Pathfinders’ will share the new knowledge and help facilitate the acceptance and implementation of our new culture. If you are a pathfinder, you too may have asked ‘Who me? Why me?’ The key to the implementation is in the process: the elements of this new consciousness and culture will not come from one enlightened teacher who stands on the mountain and proclaims the truth. This new cultural consciousness will be manifested from within each of us: you, me, and the person next door. I wish you well in your work.
