Sinopse

World Laughter explores the multifaceted world of humor, revealing its profound cultural and social significance. Moving beyond simple entertainment, the book investigates how humor is used in various societies for storytelling, traditions, and social cohesion. It examines both the universality and specificity of humor, noting how certain comedic archetypes resonate globally, while cultural values distinctly shape what is considered funny in different regions. 

 
The book takes a historical and social science approach, drawing from anthropology, sociology, and historical records to provide a comprehensive view of laughter's cultural impact. It explores the evolution of humor as a tool for social commentary, resistance, and reconciliation. Case studies analyze diverse comedic traditions, such as the role of trickster figures in indigenous storytelling and the use of satire in political discourse. 

 
Readers gain an understanding of how humor reflects and shapes cultural identity, power dynamics, and social change, while also noting the controversies of cultural appropriation and perpetuation of stereotypes. Beginning with theoretical frameworks, the book progresses through detailed case studies and culminates in a discussion of globalization's influence on humor. World Laughter offers valuable insights into cross-cultural communication and the universality of humor, making it a useful guide for understanding diverse perspectives and bridging cultural divides.

    Still struggling to help your ADHD child? 
    Do you see any or many of these signs and symptoms of ADHD in your child? 
    - Loses important things 
    - Disorganized 
    - Distracted 
    - No follow-through 
    - Avoids mental effort 
    - Doesn't listen 
    - Inattentive 
    - Careless 
    - Spacey 
    - Forgetful 
    - Poor focus 
    If you’re seeing more than a handful of these characteristics, you can’t ignore them.  
    These behaviors indicate a child who is not fully present and not able to embrace the joy available in life. With these behaviors, often they find it impossible to interact in a cooperative, productive, and fulfilling way with other people. They don’t do as well in school, and this affects their future career possibilities. 
    When your child acts up with the symptoms of ADHD, it can put you right on your “last nerve,” and you want a solution. But you’re also recognizing that simply giving your child a pill every day may not be the best or most responsible thing to do. 
    Sure, you can get specialized testing and simply “get a pill” 
    OR 
    You can be a real parent and learn the true MEANING of their behavior, as well as what you can do to help. 
    There IS a Solution to Help a Child with ADHD without Medication 
    I’m here to tell you that there IS a solution for the symptoms you’re seeing in your child. And we’re not talking about controlling or minimizing the symptoms of ADHD. That’s not nearly enough. 
    We’re talking about a real transformation where your child becomes truly happy, fulfilled, responsible, and, well, a human being again - almost always without the use of medications, which have a serious list of possible long-term side effects 
    You can do this, so let's get started.

    ★ Publishers Weekly starred review 
     
    "A superior volume on Christian antiracism."--Publishers Weekly 
     
    Racism is omnipresent in American life, both public and private. We are immersed in what prominent faith leader Willie Dwayne Francois III calls white noise--the racist speech, ideas, and policies that lull us into inaction on racial justice. White noise masks racial realities and prevents constructive responses to microaggressions, structural inequality, and overt interpersonal racism. 
     
    In this book, Francois calls people of all racial backgrounds to take up practices that overcome silence and inaction on race and that advance racial repair. Drawing from his anti-racism curriculum, the Public Love Organizing and Training (PLOT) Project, Francois encourages us to move from a "colorblind" stance of mythic innocence to one that takes an honest account of our national history and acknowledges our complicity in racism as a prelude to anti-racist interventions. 
     
    Weaving together personal narrative, theology, and history, this book invites us to engage 6 "rhythms of reparative intercession." These are six practices of anti-racism that aim to repair harm by speaking up and "acting up" on behalf of others. Silencing White Noise offers concrete ways to help people wrest free from the dangers of racism and to develop lifelong Christian anti-racist practices.
