In How We See Us, Michaela Leslie-Rule amplifies the voices of young people approaching adulthood as they consider their experiences, needs, and goals for their education, early careers, and lives. Leslie-Rule encourages adults who support young people to listen more closely to youth voices so that their perspectives are centered in interventions made on their behalf. Based on in-depth interviews, surveys, and focus groups of nearly 4,000 students from Black and Hispanic communities and low-income households in both urban and rural regions across the United States, the book finds thoughtful self-reflection and an optimistic mindset in the stories of the youths' successes and challenges. The rich accounts of how they experience their identities, communities, education, and employment refute dominant narratives that so often frame their abilities in terms of deficits and that suggest that young people, and students of color especially, live in a perpetual state of crisis. Leslie-Rule advocates for listening more deeply to young people and provides a framework to improve practice. Such consideration, she argues, enables educators, policymakers, and researchers to better address the barriers students experience in building and navigating pathways to education, career, and adulthood.Zum Buch

SUMMARY PIRANESI BASED ON THE BOOK BY SUSANNA CLARKE SUMMARY WRITTEN BY: LIBRARY OF STORIES CONTENT The House and its Inhabitant The Other and the Search for Knowledge The Dead and the Past Strange Messages and the Threat of 16 The Prophet's Visit Unraveling the Past Discoveries and Deceptions The Flood and the Truth Leaving the House General Analysis ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke, follows the story of a man living in a vast, labyrinthine house filled with tides and statues. The protagonist, known as Piranesi, meticulously records his observations in journals, believing he is one of only two living people in this world. As the narrative progresses, he begins to question his understanding of reality and his place in this strange world, discovering that his memories have been manipulated and that his identity is more complex than he thought. The story explores themes of memory, identity, and the search for knowledge, while also delving into the nature of good and evil through Piranesi's interactions with another man known as the Other and a mysterious figure known as 16. Ultimately, it is a journey of self-discovery that highlights the importance of finding meaning in one's surroundings rather than an elusive, abstract knowledge.Zum Buch
Have you lost a loved one? Your sadness becomes depression. Your child is a little too lively? He or she may be a danger to society. Do you have a penchant for cake? You have a psychiatric disorder. The new standard way of thinking about mental health, dictated by the publication of an international guide, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, is authorian and overshadows Therapeutic Listening in favor of the drug treatment—its latest version, the DSM-5, lists more than 350 diseases. Patrick Landman exposes the abuses of such a takeover—the range of normality is reduced and we all become consumers of psychotropic drugs, and even potential lunatics.Zum Buch
The motivating idea of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) is radically simple: give people cash and let them do whatever they want with it. But does this simple idea have the potential to radically transform our society? This book provides the average citizen with all the information they need to understand current debates about the UBI. It recounts the history of the idea, from its origins in the writings of eighteenth century radical intellectuals to contemporary discussions centered on unemployment caused by technological advances such as artificial intelligence. It discusses current pilot programs in the United States and around the world, including how much (or little) we can learn from such experiments about how a large-scale UBI would fare in the real world. It explores both the promises and pitfalls of a UBI, taking seriously the arguments of both supporters and detractors. How much would a UBI cost? Who would be eligible to receive it? Would it discourage work? Would people squander it on drugs and alcohol? Would it contribute to inflation? And how is it different from existing social welfare programs? This book provides an objective, expert guide to these questions and more, and is essential for anyone seeking to understand what could be the twenty-first century's most important public policy debate.Zum Buch
