  Disgraced - How Sex Scandals...

  Disgraced is a sweeping religious and cultural history of Protestant sex scandals in nineteenth and twentieth century America. From the birth of the modern press to the advent of the internet age, the book traces the public downfalls of religious leaders who purported to safeguard the morality of the nation.At first hesitant to report on sexual misconduct among the clergy in order to protect the reputation of Protestantism writ large, newspapers embraced the genre of pastoral scandal in the 1870s, when the biggest celebrity minister of the era, Henry Beecher, stood trial for adultery. As Protestant institutions struggled to protect their reputations, they turned to secrecy and silencing—often foregoing opportunities for engaging in productive reckoning with the problem of sexual hypocrisy among their clergy.Disgraced shows how the persistence of stories about misbehaving Protestant ministers allowed the press to compete with the pulpit as a source of moral authority, forced denominations to confront the problems that scandal exposed, and emboldened public scrutiny of religious piety. In its broad scope and compelling storytelling, the book is a timely contribution to the current moment of cultural reckoning with religious hypocrisy, charismatic authority, and sexual abuse.

  According to archaeological diggings, presence of modern human date back to 200,000 years ago to the Palaeolithic time. The Greek colonies settled in the southern portion of the peninsula and the Sicily in the 8th and 7th centuries BCE. By 6th and 5th century BC they were in their Neolithic time. The commencement of Bronze Age of the Italian Empire is considered as 1500 BC. 
  The Italians were dominated by the Romans for centuries before their main city - Rome was made a part of Italy. The Romans always appreciated the Italians and always looked forward to adopting their cultures. Christianity was the main religion by the end of the 4th century in the Italian region.  
  By the 5th century the rule of Roman Empire came to an end and the Lombard Kingdom of Italy was established. Italian wars divided the entire peninsula into three main powers that were Spain, Europe and Austria. This was later taken over by Napoleon I and was overseen by the French.  
  The 19th century the peninsula was united once again and the Kingdom of Italy was established in 1861. Italy developed quickly, yet there were many areas that were poor and in poverty. It was again taken over by Benito Mussolini who established dictatorship over the region. The Fascists were defeated only in 1945 after which monarchy was abolished in 1945 and a new Republic was set up on June 2, 1946. 1950’s and 60’s saw tremendous growth and the nation developed so much that the period is usually referred to as the Italian Economic Miracle. 
  Italy is one of the founding members of the European Union. It is also a part of the NATO, Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development, G7 and United Nations Organisation. Italy is a powerful country today and has its say in the global undertakings.

  Sons and Others - On Loving Male...

  In the UK, around one in six men will experience some form of sexual violence. Many of these men who experience sexual abuse are dismissed, only brought up as the butt of a joke, an exception to the rule or, perhaps at worst, are used as a rhetorical tool against female victims.
  Conversations on sexual violence have understandably focused on women's voices and experiences, with data indicating that women are still the majority of victims and not enough is being done to prevent this violence. As most perpetrators of this violence against women are men, it becomes almost easy to mistake that male survivors stories are exceptions or irrelevances. The fact is that we share a world and our experiences are closely interwoven.
  Sons and Others challenges misconceptions and misrepresentations of sexual violence against men across media and society and offers a new way of seeing and understanding these men in our lives, asking how the violence they experience affects us all.
