Beschreibung

Humor In War explores the unexpected role of humor as a vital coping mechanism during wartime. It delves into how soldiers and civilians use jokes, satire, and gallows humor to navigate the horrors of conflict. The book isn't about military strategy but instead focuses on the resilience of the human spirit, highlighting how humor serves as stress relief and helps build camaraderie amid chaos. One intriguing aspect explored is the distinction between officially sanctioned humor, like propaganda, and the subversive, underground jokes that reflect genuine anxieties. The book examines the diverse forms of wartime humor and its psychological functions, considering social and cultural contexts. It draws on personal letters, diaries, and military archives, analyzing humor through psychology, sociology, and cultural studies. The approach challenges traditional war narratives by emphasizing everyday acts of resilience. Understanding the impact of humor as a coping mechanism is crucial, as it allows individuals to process trauma and maintain a sense of control. The book progresses from establishing a theoretical framework to case studies across different conflicts, from World War I to the present, examining specific humor forms and their target audiences. Ultimately, Humor In War considers the long-term effects of wartime humor on collective memory and national identity, offering insights into psychological resilience and the maintenance of sanity.

    Stanford Prison Experiment The:...

    What happens when you put good people in a bad place? 
    That was the question that an experiment in 1971 set out to answer when Stanford University professor and psychologist Philip Zimbardo used funding provided by the U.S. Office of Naval Research to create a make-believe prison in the basement of a university building. Male students were offered the chance to take part in the two-week experiment (and to make $15 per day). All applicants were carefully screened to ensure that they were healthy, emotionally and psychologically stable. 24 men were selected out of 75 that had applied. These men were then randomly assigned to play the role of either prisoners or guards in the “prison.” 
    Initially, nobody was particularly concerned: after all, these were stable, intelligent young men who understood that they would be playing a role for just two weeks. Some people even considered that the experiment was pointless because everyone involved knew that they were simply acting roles for a limited time, so they couldn’t be expected to behave in the ways that real prisoners and guards did. 
    Nonetheless, the experiment began on August 15th, 1971, and just six days later, on August 20th, it was abruptly and unexpectedly terminated after the “guards” had become brutal and sadistic and the “prisoners” had become withdrawn, fearful, and apathetic. There were real concerns that someone might end up being seriously hurt or suffer long-term psychological damage. 
    How could a group of nice, healthy, intelligent young men suddenly transform into sadistic thugs? How could another equally intelligent group of young men suddenly become apathetic victims of this brutality? What did this say about the malleability of human behavior, even when everyone involved knew that this wasn’t real?

    Before you spend up to $75,000 in hidden child-adoption fees, adult adoptees worldwide have investigated the history of domestic and international adoption and have started a movement to end the crisis of child trafficking. You can gain a bird's-eye view on adoption secrets before you transfer funds to the adoption agency. This information is available for a short time only. 
    This research book has been divided into four short, easy-to-read sections, revealing the making of the current child welfare system throughout time: starting in Europe (referred to as the European Child Migration Schemes); then spreading to America (known as the Orphan Train Movement); into Asia (called the Evangelical Baby "Swoop" Era), to what's trending today: Africa. 
    The pioneers who built and profited from the industry continue to deny adoptees access to documents that could lead them back to their families. This book protects you against adoption profiteers and traffickers who profess God is on their side. It summarizes the inception and expansion of the adoption industry, focusing on its roots and consequences kept from public awareness. Discover the history of adoption from another angle--a view adoption agencies will never tell you. The findings have been called mind-blowing! 
    How would you like to be given a new identity and removed from your siblings--never to be permitted to contact them again, even upon death? This is just one of many red tape adoptees are forced to contend with because of adoption. Inspired by a Haitian adoptee who died of heart failure after learning that he had been trafficked to France for overseas adoption but was never able to acquire justice. NOT recommended for adoption profiteers, anti-abortion fundamentalists, evangelicals, or individuals against equal rights for adult adoptees. Available in a textbook format as Adoption History: An Adoptee's Research into Child Trafficking (VANCE).

    Shame is a powerful self-conscious emotion that arises from being perceived as imperfect, inferior, insufficient, or weak. External shame is a socially contextualized feeling defined as the uneasy belief that others see one's own inner self and exterior physical traits as undesirable, leading to others ignoring, criticizing, or rejecting one.Whatever we are doing, we are certainly doing it with our bodies. We rely on our bodies from the minute we wake up, whether consciously or unconsciously. When we glance in the mirror, we may notice changes in our bodies, and even tiny alterations can impact how we feel about ourselves. The image we have of our bodies impacts how we feel our bodies in daily life.Shame can be found in the bedroom, at the beach, in the doctor's office, and in the therapist's office. Shame can be seen in the mirror and on camera. It has many consequences, from low self-esteem to addiction, from rare medical attention to suicide. Shame is a health and wellness issue and a community and family issue that is both deeply personal and publicly political.
