    Every 90 Seconds (eBook, ePUB)
    An urgent examination of how violence against women is inextricably linked to other issues that stoke our greatest passions. Every 90 seconds a woman is sexually assaulted. In that same minute and a half, another is a victim of domestic violence at the hands of a current or former intimate partner. Every sixteen hours, one of those intimate partners shoots and kills a woman. Nearly two in ten women are stalked, while one in sixteen is raped during her first sexual experience. Despite these jaw-dropping statistics, collectively we are well practiced at seeing such acts as someone else's problem. And yet, violence against women is tangled up with the most frequently discussed and debated issues of our time: healthcare and education access, immigration, gun policies, economic security, and criminal justice reform-issues that impact us all, nearly every day. In Every 90 Seconds, Anne P. DePrince argues that to end violence against women, we must fundamentally redefine how we engage with it-starting by abandoning the idea that violence is a problem involving only those who abuse or are abused. Instead, DePrince illuminates how violence against women is inextricably linked to other issues that stoke our greatest passions. For instance, each time a woman requires emergency medical attention as a result of violence and abuse, our overburdened healthcare system bears an entirely preventable cost. Meanwhile, the threat of violence is a significant cause of pressure on the US southern border, driving women and their families to seek safety far from home. Violence against women also takes a stunning toll on the US economy by contributing to widespread poverty. Drawing on these and other complex examples, DePrince builds the case that this very complexity offers an opportunity for mobilizing ordinary people to work to stop violence against women in a way we never have before. DePrince's call to action arises out of the reality that when we address violence against women, we can make progress on a range of other significant issues that we care deeply about too.

    Grow Up into Him (eBook, ePUB)
    The question of forming habits on the basis of the grace of God is a very vital one. God regenerates us and puts us in contact with all His Divine resources, but He cannot make us walk according to His will; the practising is ours, not God's. We have to take the initiative and "add to . . . faith virtue. . . ." To take the initiative means to make a beginning, and each one of us must do it for himself: We have to acquaint ourselves with the way we have to go; and beware of the tendency of asking the way when we know it perfectly well. To "add" means to acquire the habit of doing things, and it is difficult in the initial stages. We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does and that God will not do what we can do. We cannot save ourselves or sanctify ourselves; God only can do that; but God does not give us good habits, He does not give us character, He does not make us walk aright; we must do all that. We have to work out what God has worked in (Philippians 2:12-13). Many of us lose out spiritually, not because the devil attacks us, but because we are stupidly ignorant of the way God has made us. Remember, the devil did not make the human body; he may have tampered with it, but the human body was created by God, and its constitution after we are saved remains the same as before. For instance, we are not born with a ready-made habit of dressing ourselves; we have to form that habit. Apply it spiritually-when we are born again, God does not give us a fully fledged series of holy habits, we have to make them; and the forming of habits on the basis of God's supernatural work in our souls is the education of our spiritual life.

    How is Depression Conceptualized in Popular Science Articles in Psychology Today? Conceptual Metaphor Analysis (eBook, PDF)
    Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 3,0, University of Flensburg, language: English, abstract: This project work is going to examine and analyze how depression is conceptualized in magazine articles. My analysis is based on the Conceptual Metaphor Theory established by Lakoff and Johnson. First, it will give a theoretical overview concerning Lakoff & Johnson's theory. Secondly, both the language material (corpus) and the method used to analyze it will be presented. The analysis of the language material will be presented in chapter four, followed by a summary which will conclude the findings. As stated by "Anxiety and Depression Association of America" (ADAA), 264 million people worldwide live with the mood disorder depression. According to the Oxford Learners Dictionary, depression is "a medical condition in which a person feels very sad and anxious and often has physical symptoms such as being unable to sleep". On the other hand, according to the American Psychological Association (APA), "depression is more than just sadness. People with depression may experience a lack of interest and pleasure in daily activities, significant weight loss or gain, insomnia or excessive sleeping, lack of energy, inability to concentrate, feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide." Metaphorical expressions are frequently used in everyday communication to refer to abstract concepts, for instance feelings or mental states. Metaphors are one of the linguistic tools that are used to frame mental health problems, verbalize and describe disease conditions. Hence, psychological disorders can be metaphorically described as places in space where someone has fallen into or as adversaries that need to be fought against. Based on the principles of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory developed by Lakoff & Johnson, McMullen & Conway and Charteris-Black, have studied metaphors of depression. McCullen & Conway draw upon data which is collected from a study of client depression-related metaphors through psychotherapy sessions to show the pervasiveness of specific conceptual metaphors. Charteris-Black looked at metaphors of depression in interviews of people who had experienced it.

    Chicano English (eBook, PDF)
    Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1,0, University of Vechta, language: English, abstract: It is well known that there is a specific language spoken in every country. Some countries even have the very same official language. English is one of the languages that is spoken as a native language in many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and many more. Most people also know that there are differences within one language, for instance, differences in British and American English, as well as within the United Kingdom itself. Therefore, it does not come as a surprise that the United States of America has its own regional varieties. This is especially due to the United States' history, particularly when looking at early settlements and invasions that led to the development of variations in language. Over centuries, the United States has emerged several dialects. The dialect outlined in this paper is the Chicano English dialect. The aim of this paper is to gather data and research made about Chicano English. Particularly Carmen Fought, Otto Santa Ana, Joyce Penfield and Jacob L. Ornstein-Galicia have contributed profoundly to this field with their studies and findings about Chicano English. Due to the fact that laypersons often mistake a dialect as incorrect and erroneous speech, this paper unveils Chicano English as an actual dialect. It examines who Chicanos and Chicanas are, how the dialect evolved and surveys the dialect's history. A special focus is centered on the linguistic aspects phonology, prosody, syntax and semantics. The paper mainly compares Chicano English to the General American variety, which is the standard spoken in the United States of America. It should be noted that not every Chicano English speaker will use all the features that are listed here. However, the paper will present what the majority of speakers realize in their speech or what most speakers have in common in their speech that is different from the Standard American way.

Moreover, how to substantially mitigate risks for succumbing to severe chronic diseases by embracing a heart healthy, anticancer, nutrient dense, alkaline, antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet is expounded upon in this essay. Much to the chagrin of vaccinated individuals, vaccinations are always deadly and elicit deleterious side effects. Children are inoculated with vaccinations against their own accord even when they are still in the midst of developing their immune system. Unfortunately, their myrmidon parents who eagerly relinquish money to have their children vaccinated do not understand the dire ramifications of the unwarranted calamities they are ushering into their children lives by opting to getting them vaccinated instead of focusing on properly nourishing their children. Humans were not designed to be vaccinated and the evidence based research provide a revelation appertaining to the dire repercussion of being vaccinated. Vaccines are not only deleterious to human vessel, but also contain a litany of noxious ingredients, such as formaldehyde, mercury, and aluminum, that should never be injected into the human body. There are considerable risks appertaining to be vaccinated and it is no surprise why many people deem vaccinations to be deadly.

    Gay, Straight, and the Reason Why: The Science of Sexual Orientation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 481min
    What causes a child to grow up gay or straight? In this book, neuroscientist Simon LeVay summarizes a wealth of scientific evidence that points to one inescapable conclusion: Sexual orientation results primarily from an interaction between genes, sex hormones, and the cells of the developing body and brain. LeVay helped create this field in 1991 with a much-publicized study in Science, where he reported on a difference in the brain structure between gay and straight men. Since then, an entire scientific discipline has sprung up around the quest for a biological explanation of sexual orientation. In this book, LeVay provides a clear explanation of where the science stands today, taking the reader on a whirlwind tour of laboratories that specialize in genetics, endocrinology, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, evolutionary psychology, and family demographics. He describes, for instance, how researchers have manipulated the sex hormone levels of animals during development, causing them to mate preferentially with animals of their own gender. LeVay also reports on the prevalence of homosexual behavior among wild animals, ranging from Graylag geese to the Bonobo chimpanzee. Although many details remain unresolved, the general conclusion is quite clear: A person's sexual orientation arises in large part from biological processes that are already underway before birth. LeVay also makes it clear that these lines of research have a lot of potential because--far from seeking to discover "what went wrong" in the lives of gay people, attempting to develop "cures" for homosexuality, or returning to traditional explanations that center on parent-child relationships, various forms of "training," or early sexual experiences--our modern scientists are increasingly seeing sexual variety as something to be valued, celebrated, and welcomed into society. ungekürzt.
