ESUS AND JOHN WAYNE How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation - Epub + Converted PDF
نویسندگان: Kristin Kobes Du Mez خلاصه: INTRODUCTION ON A BITTERLY COLD DAY IN JANUARY 2016, Donald Trump stood on the stage of an auditorium at a small Christian college in Iowa. He boasted of his poll numbers and his crowd sizes. He warned of the dangers posed by Muslims and undocumented immigrants, and he talked of building a border wall. He denigrated American politicians as stupid, weak, and pathetic. He claimed that Christianity was “under siege” and urged Christians to band together and assert their power. He promised to lead. He had no doubts about the loyalty of his followers: “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters,” he claimed.1 That morning, the Rev. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Dallas, introduced Trump. As a pastor Jeffress couldn’t endorse a candidate, but he made clear that he wouldn’t be there if he didn’t think Trump “would make a great president.” Jeffress wasn’t alone. Already at that point, before the Iowa caucuses at the beginning of February, 42 percent of white evangelicals supported Trump—more than any other candidate. The reason was simple, Jeffress contended. Evangelicals were “sick and tired of the status quo.” They were looking for the leader who would “reverse the downward death spiral of this nation that we love so dearly.”

نویسندگان: Andy campbell خلاصه: It was late in March 2016, in the heat of Trump’s presidential push, and the national media had latched onto one bit of security footage from a Trump event. The video showed Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, grabbing and pushing Breitbart writer Michelle Fields as she approached Trump and tapped his elbow. Fields claimed that Lewandowski left bruises on her arm. It was enough that police charged Lewandowski with simple battery, but prosecutors ultimately dropped the case. He shrugged off the allegation and the news cycle that followed, which left the pundits to bicker among themselves over the footage and decide whether an assault had occurred. McInnes, staring slack-jawed at the footage during an episode of his reactionary talk show, couldn’t believe it warranted media attention in the first place. A woman touched a presidential candidate and got what was coming to her, he argued. If anything, she deserved more. “She wasn’t randomly grabbed!” he groused, his voice pitching upward in aggravation as the video played. “I think there’s not enough violence in today’s day and age.” McInnes then launched into one of his signature rants, steering the conversation toward his keynote: America had gone soft in the waning years of Barack Obama’s presidency, and there was no better evidence than the news media clutching its pearls over a woman being grabbed and pushed out of the way. Real Americans—real men—wouldn’t give this story the time of day. Real men are hardened by a lifetime of violence

نویسندگان: DAEGAN MILLER خلاصه: Then the coal company came with the world’s largest shovel, And they tortured the timber, and stripped all the land. Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken, And they wrote it all down as the progress of man. John Prine, “Paradise”1 What happens when the past’s oldest witness comes crashing down dead? A new day will dawn . . . but over what? Where are we, who are we, when the bough breaks? Bostonians opened their eyes on a Wednesday morning in 1876 to opaque February skies bleakly blanketing a city made suddenly strange. At 7 p.m. the evening before, the enormous Great Elm on the famous Boston Common had been toppled by a hard wind.2 Of course, trees fall all the time with never a thought spared them, but the Great Elm was dif- ferent. It was famous in the nineteenth-century as an emissary from the past, and it appears ubiquitously in prose, poem, and print, a people’s treasured heirloom, believed to be among the last living witnesses to the young nation’s milestones; its loss was disorienting. Paul Revere, on his 1775 midnight ride, was rumored to have passed by the tree

MEDIA STUDIES THE BASICS SECOND EDITION - Original PDF
MEDIA STUDIES THE BASICS SECOND EDITION - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Julian McDougall and Claire Pollard خلاصه: INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND EDITION Eight years on from the first edition of this book, any notion that updating it for a second edition would be quick or straightforward was dispensed with at the start of the process. We imagine that updating other books in this series might involve replacing some examples, refreshing the core concepts with new theories, perhaps reviewing the ‘shelf-life’ of some case studies. But for Media Studies, the subject never stands still, so this is more like a total system upgrade than a software update. For this reason, the second edition is a collaboration, to converge the perspective of the author of the original book with the experience and insight of the editor of MediaMagazine, also a teacher trainer in the subject. Maybe you have picked up this book because you’re starting a course in Media Studies (given the title, it’s a fair guess). Perhaps you are an English teacher diversifying into Media Studies. Or you could be a parent, wondering what Media Studies is really all about and whether your child should spend their time engaging with it. We will argue that in the era of social media platform capitalism and ‘fake news’, it’s more important than ever. If you are a Media student, the assumption will be that you’ve never studied it before – this is, after all, ‘The Basics’, although it might be a useful ‘refresher’ even if you have. All the way through, the emphasis will be on distinguishing between everyday media engagement and critical media literacy. Just by being alive in the contemporary ‘mediated’ world, we all respond actively to media – we never just ‘take it in’ without any thought or interpretation and more and more, we create it. Equally, the distinction between ou

The Coronavirus Pandemic and Inequality - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Shirley Johnson-Lans خلاصه: his book has been a long time in the making. It was first conceived in the summer of 2020 at which time few people expected a pandemic of the length we have experienced, dealing with a virus that is so efficient in morphing into ever more transmissible variants. Much of the world, including Europe, the United States, and Australia, now seems to have reached a point where COVID-19 is beginning to be regarded as endemic with occasional upticks, much like the annual influenza epidemics with which we have all learned to live. However, since we are not really out of the woods yet with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as vaccination rates in many parts of the world are well below where they need to be, this book can only be a provisional assessment of the effects and response to the coronavirus pandemic. It is an attempt to summarize and take stock of where many countries in the world stand as of October 2022
Rethinking Economics Starting from the Commons Towards an Economics of Francesco - Original PDF
Rethinking Economics Starting from the Commons Towards an Economics of Francesco - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Valentina Rotondi • Paolo Santori خلاصه: What would happen if the economics courses taught in universities focused on the topic of the commons rather than of private goods? What if the former became the main subject of study and the latter the exception in the study of economic science? What if social business, rather than being considered a hybrid form, became the typical approach, with ethical and green finance taking over the financial sector? Is it possible to move away from the primacy of consumers to the preeminence of ethical consumers who express their daily preferences for an inclusive, sustainable, and worker-friendly economic system? These and other questions are the basis of this book, which aims to systematize the academic contribution to the development of the Economy of Francesco (henceforth EOF). EOF is a global movement of young (under 35 years) economists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who, in 2019, answered Pope Francis’ call to gather in Assisi to rethink and change the global economy. The three pillars of the EOF are Pope Francis, with his social and economic magisterium; the Franciscan economic thought of the late Middle Ages, which is a source of precious knowledge with which to imagine a new economy; and the ideas of the young people thinking, working, and living a new economy. EOF is also a forum for youth-driven inclusive dialogue, stimulating a vibrant global change toward a new economic system, one that should serve everyone, regardless of income, gender, race, class, family, or background, and one in which everyone can thrive and feel included. To achieve this goal, EOF has been structured since the very beginning along 12 thematic “villages,” i.e., working sessions rooted in topics critical for today’s economy. Each thematic village contains a tension in its title, representing the already contemporary eco- nomic systems and the not-yet economy for which the movement advocates (i.e., Agriculture and Justice, Work and Care, Co2 of Inequalities, Women for Economy, Policies and Happiness, and many more)

Marx, Uno and the Critique of Economics - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Thomas T. Sekine خلاصه: Several years ago a young American gentleman came to spend a summer in Tokyo, and during his stay there contacted me hoping to arrange an interview with me; to be centred on my Unoist approach to Marxian economics. While willing to cooperate with him in that project, I was not confident from the beginning that I would be able to produce a satisfac- tory result for him. For I am not the type of person who has ready-made answers to questions that are typically thrown at him/her on the spur of the moment. Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed meeting with each other and got along very well in our personal exchange of views on the subject matter. When he was about to leave Tokyo, I asked him to write down on paper a series of questions that he would have liked to ask me, which would give me the chance to elaborate upon. I thus obtained a series of wonderfully worded and exquisitely phrased questions that would have given me only delight and pleasure to answer. I have revisited these questions over the years and have had time to consider them against the progress my life-long research on Uno’s approach to economics has made since then. I now have a fully extended, more mature version of what makes economics an “objective” knowledge. In both parts, but especially in the first, I made use of the delightful phrasing that my American friend originally employed in posing his apt questions to me. I am grateful for his allowing me to reproduce once again some of his superb style of language in this book

Education and Economic Development - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Daniela-Mihaela Neamţu خلاصه: The foundation of present-day society is based on human resources as a key element for growth and based on education for economic and social prosperity. It has become a true fact that current development relies heav- ily on education and culture as a business model, some communities hav- ing their own internalized ways, while other cultures provide for a more open society. Consequently, education in modern society has become a field of study as well as an object of study for teachers, economists, soci- ologists, and many other researchers. The progress of a society, considered from both an economic and a social perspective, is accomplished by acquir- ing knowledge allowing the human potential to be used in the best pos- sible way in various conditions. Education stands for the foundation of a free and open society, the cornerstone of a powerful and sound state. From a professional point of view, education represents the key foundation of human resource develop- ment worldwide. Globally, society itself heads continuously toward a knowledge-based economy, where education and performance are con- stantly judged against performance indexes, as well as a comparison index, among countries. Numbers and narratives lead to the transformation and valorization of strategic resources based on innovation, learning, and chang
