Book excerpt: A “Manifesto” is a public declaration of policy, values, or goals. It clearly spells out intentions or motives, making the case for change. The MAGA Manifesto is a public declaration of Donald Trump’s goals, values, and intentions as defined by his campaign rallies, and political actions before, during, and since his term as President. Manifesto is neither a positive nor negative term. Its policies, values, or goals determine its worth. Hitler’s Mein Kampf is an example of a manifesto that most historians have judged as evil. A historical evaluation of the MAGA Manifesto is still evolving.

Book Synopsis Discovering Kindness ... in a Deeply Divided World by : Jim Boeglin
Download or read book Discovering Kindness ... in a Deeply Divided World written by Jim Boeglin and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deep divides in America and throughout the world are threatening the stability of humankind. Fear, anger, and violence are raging in too many arenas. Discovering Kindness is a poetic effort to inspire kindness as a pathway to healing the divides. Jim Boeglin, a retired attorney who has had a front row seat observing the battle between kindness and unkindness, explores why unkind attitudes have become the norm. White supremacists, unfounded conspiracy spreaders, racists, xenophobes, homophobes, and other easily misguided and angry individuals have demonstrated cruel, sometimes violent, and mean-spirited behaviors that place the very essence of American values at risk. Schisms have appeared within families, among longtime friends, neighbors, and inside political, social, and religious organizations. Unconditional kindness and forgiveness may offer the only viable way forward. Join the author as he shares poetry that shines a spotlight on how to move past anger, rage, and hat
Download or read book Upheaval written by Jared Diamond and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "riveting and illuminating" Bill Gates Summer Reading pick about how and why some nations recover from trauma and others don't (Yuval Noah Harari), by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the landmark bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel. In his international bestsellers Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse, Jared Diamond transformed our understanding of what makes civilizations rise and fall. Now, in his third book in this monumental trilogy, he reveals how successful nations recover from crises while adopting selective changes -- a coping mechanism more commonly associated with individuals recovering from personal crises. Diamond compares how six countries have survived recent upheavals -- ranging from the forced opening of Japan by U.S. Commodore Perry's fleet, to the Soviet Union's attack on Finland, to a murderous coup or countercoup in Chile and Indonesia, to the transformations of Germany and Austria after World War Two. Because Diamond has lived and spoken the language in five of these six countries, he can present gut-wrenching histories experienced firsthand. These nations coped, to varying degrees, through mechanisms such as acknowledgment of responsibility, painfully honest self-appraisal, and learning from models of other nations. Looking to the future, Diamond examines whether the United States, Japan, and the whole world are successfully coping with the grave crises they currently face. Can we learn from lessons of the past? Adding a psychological dimension to the in-depth history, geography, biology, and anthropology that mark all of Diamond's books, Upheaval reveals factors influencing how both whole nations and individual people can respond to big challenges. The result is a book epic in scope, but also his most personal yet.

Download or read book Kindness Wars written by Noel A. Cazenave and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kindness Wars rescues our understanding of kindness from the clutches of an intellectually and morally myopic popular psychology and returns it to the stage of big ideas, in keeping with the important Enlightenment-era debates about human nature and possibilities. Cazenave conceptualizes kindness not just as a benevolent feeling, a caring thought, or a generous action but as a worldview, a theory, or an ideology that explains who we are and justifies how we treat others. Here “kindness wars” refer to the millennia-old “kindness theory” and ideological conflicts over what kind of societies humans can and should have. The book’s title denotes the two types of kindness wars it analyzes, conflict over (1) whether to be kind or not (i.e., the conflicts between kindness and other societal values and ideologies) and (2) what it means to be kind (i.e., the wars within kindness over different ideas as to what it means to be kind and to whom). Using a conflict theoretical perspective, Kindness Wars examines the history of the kindness concept; its many struggles with opposing notions of our true nature and possibilities; and what the lessons of that history and those battles offer us toward the development of a large, robust, and politically engaged conceptualization of kindness.
Book Synopsis The Courage for Truth by : Thomas Merton
Download or read book The Courage for Truth written by Thomas Merton and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1993 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1948 (when he first wrote to Evelyn Waugh, who was editing The Seven Storey Mountain for publication in England) until his death in 1968, Thomas Merton corresponded with writers around the world, developing an ever-widening circle of friends in Europe, the Soviet Union, South and North America. Merton wrote, and heard from, many prominent writers of the stature of Waugh, Jacques Maritain, Czeslaw Milosz, Boris Pasternak, James Baldwin, Walker Percy, Henry Miller, and Victoria Ocampo. He also corresponded with and encouraged newer writers in Latin America, like Ernesto Cardenal. Merton sensed in these writers a hope for the future of humanity and believed that the courage for truth was their special gift. Writing to Jose Coronel Urtecho, Merton asserted that poets "remain almost the only ones who have anything to say . . . They have the courage to disbelieve what is shouted with the greatest amount of noise from every loudspeaker". Courage rooted in true freedom is evident in Merton's own life. He shared with his literary friends his concerns about war, violence and repression, racism and injustice, and all forms of human aggression. Forbidden to publish on the subject of war by his superiors, he obeyed but continued to circulate his famous "Cold War Letters". He did not hesitate to criticize his church when he saw there was more concern for the institutional structure than there was for people. Merton especially admired those who had the courage to write under oppression, like Pasternak, Milosz, and Cardenal.

This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller For Lady Gaga, kindness is the driving force behind everything she says and does. The quiet power of kindness can change the way we view one another, our communities, and even ourselves. She embodies this mission, and through her work, brings more kindness into our world every single day. Lady Gaga has always believed in the importance of being yourself, being kind to yourself, and being kind to others, no matter who they are or where they come from. With that sentiment in mind, she and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, founded Born This Way Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the world a kinder and braver place. Through the years, they've collected stories of kindness, bravery and resilience from young people all over the world, proving that kindness truly is the universal language. And now, we invite you to read these stories and follow along as each and every young author finds their voice just as Lady Gaga has found hers. Within these pages, you’ll meet young changemakers who found their inner strength, who prevailed in the face of bullies, who started their own social movements, who decided to break through the mental health stigma and share how they felt, who created safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, and who have embraced kindness with every fiber of their being by helping others without the expectation of anything in return. In one story, you’ll read about a young person with an autoimmune disease, who after being bullied at school, learned how to practice self-love and started an organization with the mission of educating others about the importance of self-love, too; and in another story, you’ll meet a young person who decided to start a movement to help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraged others to talk about their feelings openly and honestly, a reminder that kindness and mental wellness go hand in hand. Not only were we moved by these individual acts of kindness, but we were also touched by the many stories of organizations, neighborhoods, and entire communities that fully dedicated themselves to helping those in need and found new, innovative ways to make our world a kinder and braver place. Individually and collectively, these stories prove that kindness not only saves lives but builds community. Kindness is inclusion, it is pride, it is empathy, it is compassion, it is self-respect and it is the guiding light to love. Kindness is always transformational, and its never-ending ripples result in even more kind acts that can change our lives, our communities, and our world.

Download or read book Seeds of Turmoil written by Bryant Wright and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2011-11-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dive into the biblical history that provides a clear, in-depth explanation of the origin, history, and significance of the Middle East conflict. Starting with Abraham, learn how he became the father of 3 religions, how his sons’ rivalry planted the roots for turmoil, and how the nations of Israel and Palestine continue this stalemate in current affairs. The current conflict in the Middle East began long before the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. It originated when Abraham sinned, distorting God's promise that he and his heirs would make a great nation and inherit the land now called The Holy Land. A historical and political account,?Seeds of Turmoil?clearly explains the biblical story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar and the ensuing sibling rivalry between Jacob and Esau, whose choices formed the world's three most influential religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This fascinating insight into the beginnings of the conflict also explains what about the land is so important today. In addition, Wright sheds light on the conflicting Jewish, Christian, and Islamic perspectives and answers the question, Does God play favorites? A faith-based view on Middle Eastern relations, Seeds of Turmoil?provide the historical context for a modern understanding of how and why these current events take place.
Download or read book TROUVAILLE written by Dr.Alok Kumar Ray and published by Booksclinic Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-24 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: """Trouvaille"", the international poetry anthology consisting poems of 15 poets of international fame tries to unite the poets of the East and West for the cause of humanitarian understanding and goodwill.Here diverse thoughts, expressions and viewpoints are mingled together to redeem universal brotherhood.In these days of all-out degradation , this anthology stands for transnational fraternity, fellowship and acceptance of the age-old dictum of human bonding to rescue human civilization from the threshold of deluge.Readers of all age groups, coming from cross-cultural background after reading this book will be swayed by unfathomable emotional outrage . Each poem included in this international treasure of creative minds called, ""Trouvaille"" brings to mind a benumbed sensation of joy and jollity embedded in poetic terms.One of the outstanding features of this book is that, it contains 15 numbers of translated Odia poems .And the readers will invariably see how the fountain of thoughts flow underneath surpassing geographical and socio-cultural divisions.English versions of these poems are also included in this anthology to suit the ecstatic needs of our esteemed readers. This poetry anthology is not judgemental , rather it seeks to provide an even playing field for the readers to feel and think.Our readers will be at the helm of truth or nearer to bigger truths and greater realisation after going through the glossy pages of this book.'Guernica' may not have recruited soldiers to the Spanish cause, but it definitely did harness the conscience of the world. And I presume, ""Trouvaille"" will play this type of role effectively.The present world is giving lip service to the very idea of social and environmental justice and profit in lieu of any cost has become the norm. Hence we are required to sing our songs in the face of all varieties of hurdles that threaten our very living , to guard ourselves against the evil forces of parochialism and intolerance. As all of us know, poetry by itself cannot change the world, but can create an ambience for dialogue on the lines of that change by hammering on our human instincts like values of compassion, empathy, camaraderie and shared common humanitarian goals.It is considered one among the basic and towering defense against our ill fate and misdeeds.Albeit chaos of all sorts, a gloomy atmosphere, poetry has the guts to rejuvenate the human soul .Leonardo da Vinci once said, painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.Our wishful readers, I can bet, will embark on a journey of aesthetic feelings while going through virgin pages of ,"" Trouvaille"". This is our humble initiative to enjoin broken hearts of humanity, to ensure bridging of different cultures and uniting nations through words , thereby paving the way for cross cultural diversity. The voice of poets included in this poetry anthology will help to transform earthly lies into meaningful aphorisms.I am optimistic that this book will become one of the most acclaimed means to bring us out of the global problems.Hope the readers will find this book very much fascinating and valuable in spreading the gospels of humanity through out our planet.After taking a holy dip in this confluence of divine poetic thoughts camouflaged as brooks , they will bring back home only serenity for sure. I am sure,""Trouvaille"", the edited poetry anthology will be considered as a lucky find for our beloved readers and they will treat it as their trusted companion for ever."
