Summary

In a world shaped by media, the interplay between media, gender, and identity has become a defining force in our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This book delves into the complex and ever-evolving relationship between media and gender, exploring its profound impact on individuals and society.

Through a comprehensive examination of media representations, the authors shed light on how media shapes our perceptions of gender roles, expectations, and identities. From the silver screen to the digital realm, media has the power to reinforce or challenge traditional gender stereotypes, influence self-perception and identity formation, and perpetuate or dismantle gender inequality.

Moving beyond traditional media outlets, the book explores the unique impact of social media on gender identity and expression. It delves into the challenges of navigating social media as a woman, the prevalence of online harassment and cyberbullying, and the need for safe and inclusive online spaces. Additionally, it examines the potential of social media as a platform for promoting gender equality and challenging traditional gender norms.

With a keen eye for detail and a nuanced understanding of the complexities of gender and identity, the authors provide a thought-provoking analysis of the media landscape. They explore the ways in which media representations can both reflect and shape our understanding of gender, examining the historical evolution of media's influence on gender roles, the power of representation, and the role of media in perpetuating inequality.

Ultimately, this book envisions a future of media and gender equality, where media representations are diverse, inclusive, and reflective of the rich tapestry of gender identities and experiences. It calls for a more critical and discerning approach to media consumption, emphasizing the importance of media literacy and critical thinking skills in navigating the complexities of media messages.

This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of media, gender, and identity. It is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone seeking to understand the profound impact of media on our lives.

    Adam Smith, often hailed as the father of modern economics, revolutionized the field with his pioneering ideas in the 18th century. His significance lies in his formulation of the foundational principles of classical economics, particularly through his seminal works, The Theory of Moral Sentiments and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. 
In The Wealth of Nations, Smith introduced the concept of the "invisible hand," a metaphor for the self-regulating nature of free markets. He argued that individuals pursuing their self-interest unintentionally contribute to the economic well-being of society, as if guided by an invisible hand. This idea challenged the prevailing mercantilist views of the time, advocating instead for free trade and minimal government intervention in economic affairs. 
Smith's exploration of the division of labor highlighted how productivity and efficiency could be vastly improved when tasks are specialized. This principle not only influenced economic theory but also had a profound impact on industrial practices and economic policy.

    What if the law wasn’t just what is written—but what ought to be? 
In Minos, Plato examines the very essence of law in a philosophical dialogue that challenges the foundation of political authority. Socrates asks whether true law is simply what cities declare—or if it must reflect something deeper, more eternal, and more just. 
This modern translation captures the gravity and insight of Plato’s early political thought, providing a brief but powerful introduction to the eternal question: What is justice? 
What you'll discover inside: 
•	A Philosophical Inquiry into the Nature of Law – Beyond rules, toward universal truth 
•	Socratic Method Applied to Politics – Questioning whether law equals justice 
•	A Rare and Fragmentary Text Revived – One of Plato’s boldest but most overlooked dialogues 
•	A Contemporary, Clear Translation – Ideal for modern listeners engaged in legal, ethical, or political thought 
Step into one of Plato’s most daring conversations—and reconsider what gives law its true legitimacy.

“Inside the Montreal Mafia is an entertaining, illuminating, and often sobering look at the downfall of the Rizzuto crime family … Highly readable and engaging.” — Montreal Review of Books
		 
A groundbreaking, exclusive inside look at the North American Mafia and the Rizzuto family
		 
For the first time in Canadian history, a high-ranking mafioso agreed to break the code of omertà by talking to journalists. From October 2014 to October 2019, Félix Séguin and Eric Thibault held multiple secret meetings with Andrew Scoppa, getting an exclusive inside look at the inner workings of the North American Mafia. This book is the culmination of their perilous investigation. It sheds light on the life — and death — of one of the most influential organized crime figures in recent years.
		 
At exactly 2 p.m., there was a knock at the door. It was him: the source every journalist dreamed of having. The short man was armed and placed his gun on a table.
		 
“Are you impressed?” he asked with a broad grin.
		 
“Yes. Very much.”
		 
Before me was Andrew Scoppa, close confidant of the late mafia boss Vito Rizzuto, international heroin trafficker and cold-blooded killer.

    Psychopathy - A Personality...

    Psychopathy is a complex personality disorder characterized by a unique set of emotional, interpersonal, and behavioral traits. Individuals with psychopathy often exhibit a profound lack of empathy, manipulativeness, and an inability to form deep emotional connections. They are skilled at deception and can appear charming and charismatic, which allows them to navigate social situations with ease while hiding their true nature. 
One of the most defining traits of psychopathy is emotional detachment. Psychopaths do not experience emotions in the same way that most people do. While they may understand emotions on an intellectual level, they lack the ability to genuinely feel them, particularly emotions such as guilt, remorse, or love. This emotional deficit makes them highly adept at exploiting others without any sense of moral conflict. They can feign emotions convincingly, using charm and flattery to manipulate those around them for personal gain. 
Manipulativeness is another hallmark of psychopathy. Psychopaths use deception and persuasion to control others, often without their victims realizing it. They are highly strategic and will adjust their behavior based on what benefits them the most in a given situation. Because they lack empathy, they do not hesitate to lie, cheat, or deceive if it serves their interests.
