The World We Shape - America's Promise and Promise

Pasquale De Marco

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

In a rapidly changing world, America stands at a crossroads. Will it continue to be a beacon of hope and a force for good, or will it retreat from its global responsibilities?

This book explores the evolving role of the United States in shaping the world, from its early days as a beacon of democracy to its current status as a global superpower. It traces the intellectual and historical roots of two competing schools of thought in American foreign policy: the exemplarist and the vindicationist.

Exemplarists believe that America's primary responsibility is to serve as a shining example of democracy, freedom, and prosperity. They argue that by living up to its ideals at home, America will naturally inspire other nations to follow its lead. Vindications, on the other hand, contend that America has a moral obligation to use its power and influence to actively promote these values around the world, even if it means using military force.

The tension between these two perspectives has shaped American foreign policy for centuries. At times, the United States has pursued an isolationist approach, withdrawing from global affairs and focusing on its own internal development. At other times, it has intervened forcefully in foreign conflicts, seeking to spread democracy and protect its interests.

In recent decades, America's role in the world has become increasingly complex. The rise of new global powers, the challenges of climate change and terrorism, and the interconnectedness of the global economy have all forced American policymakers to rethink the nation's foreign policy.

This book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of America's role in the world. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the challenges and opportunities facing the United States in the 21st century.

Introduction to Internal Family...

Richard Schwartz PhD

A highly accessible introduction to a therapeutic approach that brings our inner “parts” into harmony and allows our core Self to lead We’re all familiar with self-talk, self-doubt, self-judgment—yet most of us still view ourselves as if we have one uniform mind. Dr. Richard Schwartz’s breakthrough was recognizing that we each contain an “internal family” of distinct parts—and that treating these parts with curiosity, respect, and empathy vastly expands our capacity to heal.  Over the past two decades, Internal Family Systems (IFS) has transformed the practice of psychotherapy. With Introduction to Internal Family Systems, the creator of IFS presents the ideal layperson’s guide for understanding this empowering, effective, and non-pathologizing approach to self-discovery and healing. Here, Dr. Schwartz shares evidence, case studies, and self-care tools to help you: • Shift from the limiting “mono-mind” paradigm into an appreciation of your marvelous, multidimensional nature • Unburden your wounded parts from extreme beliefs, emotions, and addictions • Demystify the most commonly misunderstood parts—the Exiles, Managers, and Firefighters • Transform your most challenging parts from inner obstacles to invaluable allies • Embrace the existence of innate human goodness—in yourself and others • Connect with the true Self that is greater than the sum of your parts “The most wonderful discovery I have made is that as you do this work, you release, or liberate, what I call your Self or your True Self—the calm, compassionate essence of who you are,” says Dr. Schwartz. “When the Self becomes the leading intelligence in our lives, we create more harmony—both within ourselves and in our external lives.” For therapists, their clients, and anyone interested in understanding and healing themselves, here is an essential guide to a revolutionary approach to self-realization, mental wellness, and transformation.

Protagoras

Plato

"Protagoras" is a dialogue by Plato, believed to have been written in the 4th century BCE. The dialogue centers around the character of Protagoras, a renowned sophist who claims to be able to teach virtue and excellence to others. Socrates, the main character and interlocutor in the dialogue, engages with Protagoras and his followers, challenging their ideas and methods. Throughout the dialogue, Protagoras and his followers argue that virtue can be taught and that all knowledge is relative to the individual. They use a variety of rhetorical techniques and arguments to defend their position, including the famous statement, "man is the measure of all things." Socrates, however, challenges their ideas, arguing that virtue cannot be taught and that there must be some objective standard of knowledge and truth. Read in English, unabridged.

Body Acceptance

Jade Nyx

In a world that persistently teaches us to critique and alter our bodies, where are the lessons on embracing and loving them?

With a myriad of rides, from the thrilling roller coasters to the gentle carousels, everyone’s adventure is unique. Some may crave the adrenaline of the high-speed rides, while others find joy in the calm of the tea cups. That’s the beauty of it – our differences.
 
Just as theme parks cater to diverse tastes, body acceptance is about finding what resonates with you. This book serves as your guide, the map you’re handed at the entrance. It offers directions and insights, but the real experience? That’s up to you to explore and embrace.
 
Your adventure awaits. Are you ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and love?
