Summary

"Social Welfare Programs" offers a comprehensive analysis of social safety nets and their effectiveness in poverty alleviation. It critically examines welfare initiatives like TANF and SNAP, challenging assumptions that increased funding automatically reduces poverty. The book argues for a holistic approach, addressing the root causes of poverty and minimizing unintended consequences, such as dependency. Did you know that welfare programs can sometimes create disincentives to work, a key aspect explored within?

 
The book is structured to provide a logical exploration of this complex topic. It begins with foundational concepts, then analyzes key welfare initiatives, and concludes with policy recommendations. It looks at both the economic and sociological factors that impact welfare programs, including the impact on family structure and community dynamics. A comparative study of different welfare models across various countries highlights best practices.

 
The analysis relies on empirical data, government reports, and case studies, taking an interdisciplinary approach by connecting economics, sociology, and political science. This provides a balanced view of the debates surrounding social welfare policy and alternative approaches. It avoids simplistic narratives by delving into the assumptions shaping individual behavior.

    AS FEATURED ON ORIGINAL GANGSTERS WITH SEAN BEAN'The world's leading expert on Birmingham crime and the Peaky Blinders'You know who the Peaky Blinders are ... It's time to see where they began.At the turn of the twentieth century, Birmingham was seemingly transforming into a wealthy, bustling metropolis, celebrated for its manufacturing and local government. Yet behind this optimistic facade,  the poorest and most vulnerable in society were abandoned. This longstanding inequality aroused unrest, sparking violence and terror from backstreet gangsters who'd become known as peaky blinders.In this fourth instalment of the bestselling series, historian Carl Chinn draws upon his decades of expertise and his own family history to reveal even more about these notorious gangs, going back to where it all began. Chinn exposes the real people whose bloody feuds, murders and maiming, baiting of police officers, bullying of the decent poor, gendered violence, blackmailing, and disturbing roles in political riots and racist attacks made Birmingham infamous as the city of the Peaky Blinders.Peaky Blinders: The Real Gangs and Gangsters is a vivid and shocking portrait of Birmingham through the Victorian and Edwardian eras, unpicking the storied history of its vicious gangs to reveal how they forced themselves into notoriety.

    Face Failure - Characteristics...

    The etymology of the word fail is derived from the French word faillir, which means “almost to do.” Faillir is derived from the Latin word fallere, which means to deceive or lead into error. These definitions imply that when people fail, they do not follow through with their intentions, and those who believed that they would be in some way deceived. 
People who experience failure can feel a sense of shame. This emotional response can cause them to suppress their feelings, deflect the responsibility of the failure, neglect to learn from the valuable lessons, and thwart the possibility for future success. 
As Winston Churchill so eloquently said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

    Aphrodite: Captivating Greek...

    Did you know that Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, was also associated with the sea? 
Born from a strange mixture of divine blood, severed genitals, and seafoam, Aphrodite washed up on the shores of Cyprus long before the emergence of her fellow Olympians. A figure who is as petty as she is relatable, she is not only a key deity of the Greek pantheon, but she is also a central figure in many of the myths we know and love today. 
With influences possibly rooted in the goddesses Ishtar and Astarte, there are scholars who believe that the concept of Aphrodite was imported to Greece from the Middle East or West Asia. Contact between cultures might have led to her incorporation into the main Greek pantheon, with her foreign origins explaining some of the regional differences regarding her birth and personality. While her connections to beauty and love are her most well-known attributes, places like Sparta and Cyprus also viewed her as a war goddess. 
This audiobook focuses on myths that are either centered around Aphrodite or feature her as an important character. Because of her volatile nature and quick temper, Aphrodite could just as often be a force for good as she could be a force for evil. While it would be impossible to gather all the different stories related to Aphrodite in their entirety in one collection, this audiobook provides a nice, if somewhat modest, the assortment of narratives that display different facets of this fascinatingly complex goddess. 
Some of the myths you’ll discover in this audiobook are:Aphrodite’s birth and unexpected marriageThe life and death of AdonisHow Psyche and Eros’ love defied divine wrathPygmalion’s arrogance and his unusual mistressThe beginnings of the greatest war ever fought
