Inspired by the award-winning poet and actor’s acclaimed one-man play, a powerful coming-of-age memoir that reimagines masculinity for the twenty-first-century male. Award-winning poet, actor, and writer Carlos Andrés Gómez is a supremely gifted storyteller with a captivating voice whose power resonates equally on the live stage and on the page. In one of his most moving spoken-word poems, Gómez recounts a confrontation he once had after accidentally bumping into another man at a club. Just as they were about to fight, Gómez experienced an unexplainable surge of emotion that made his eyes well up with tears. Everyone at the scene jumped back, as if crying, or showing vulnerability, was the most insane thing that Gómez could possibly have done. Like many men in our society, Gómez grew up believing that he had to be ready to fight at all times, treat women as objects, and close off his emotional self. It wasn’t until he discovered acting that he began to see the true cost of squelching one’s emotions—and how aggression dominates everything that young males are taught. Statistics on graduation rates, employment, and teen and young-adult suicide make it clear that the young males in our society are at a crisis point, but Gómez seeks to reverse these ominous trends by sharing the lessons that he has learned. Like Hill Harper’s Letters to a Young Brother, Man Up will be an agent for positive change, galvanizing men—but also mothers, girlfriends, wives, and sisters—to rethink and reimagine the way all men interact with women, deal with violence, handle fear, and express emotion.

The serious illness of three presidents—Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy—as well as the injury Ronald Reagan received in the assassination attempt upon him have revealed our woefully inadequate system for handling presidential incapacity. The authors believe that this flawed system poses a major threat to the nation, and they provide sobering reports on how the government functioned (or failed to function) during times of presidential impairment. The public was kept in the dark regarding the gravity of the presidential condition, often unaware that critical decisions were being made while the president was suffering from a severe illness. Hidden Illness in the White House contains startling new information on the severity of Roosevelt’s illness during the crucial Yalta negotiations and the fact that Kennedy suffered from Addison’s disease, a life-threatening illness, long before he was elected to the presidency. In each case the authors demonstrate that a largely successful effort was made to conceal the president’s true medical condition from the public.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Romanistik - Hispanistik, Note: 1,7, Universität zu Köln (Romanisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Don Juan Manuel: El Conde Lucanor, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die kluge Verstellung ist eine Verhaltensweise, die wir heutzutage nahezu schon fast unbewusst nutzen. Sie hat sich im Laufe der Zeit immer weiter entwickelt. Einer der ersten, der den Begriff der klugen Verstellung prägte, war der lebenskluge spanische Jesuit Baltasar Gracián, der im 17. Jahrhundert seine Mitmenschen genau beobachtete und aus dem Umgang mit ihnen seine Schlüsse zog. Seine Errungenschaften werden noch heute genutzt. Besonders bei der Ausbildung von Managern, die mit seiner Hilfe bessere Führungskräfte werden sollen. Ein Rat von Gracián ist zum Beispiel: „VerbindeSanftmut mit Härte!“Auf Führungsebenen, so auch im Unternehmen, kann sich nach Gracián auf Dauer nur derjenige halten, der charakterlich so disponiert ist, um die Klugheit der Schlange mit der Arglosigkeit der Taube in Einklang zu bringen. Ein Manager darf mithin weder als zu gerissen noch als ein belächelter Dummkopf erscheinen. Ist er ersteres, so misstraut man ihm, ist er letzteres, so wird er hintergangen. "Viel glaubt, wer nie lügt, und viel traut, wer nie täuscht. Es entspringt nicht allemal aus Dummheit, dass man betrogen wird, sondern bisweilen aus Güte. Man vereinige in sich die Taube und die Schlange, nicht als ein Ungeheuer, sondern vielmehr als ein Wunder". Anhand des „Exemplo I“ aus dem Buch „El Conde Lucanor“ von Don Juan Manuel und des Theaterstückes „El mejor alcalde, el rey“ von Lope de Vega, das erste Buch ist im Mittelalter und das zweite Werk zur Barockzeit entstanden, werde ich versuchen typische Aspekte der Verstellungskunst zu veranschaulichen. Im ersten Teil werde ich einige Formen und Varianten der Verstellung näher erläutern. Im Anschluss daran stelle ich die Bedeutung der Kunst sich zu verstellen bei Hofe und der damaligen Politik dar. Es wird deutlich werden, dass das Mittel der Verstellung ein sehr wichtiges Werkzeug des Regierens war und ist. Hier wird das möglichst optimale Verhalten des Höflings, bzw. Beraters oder Ministers, und des Königs im Einzelnen beschrieben.

A través de las páginas de este libro recorremos vidas tan fascinantes como la de John Nash, a quien popularizó Russel Crowe en Una Mente Maravillosa; Paul Samuelson, de quien se dice que hacía escrito casi de todo pero lo había leído todo; Daniel Kahneman, el primer psicólogo en recibir un Premio Nobel en Economía, o Myron Scholes, de quien no es posible pensar sin acordarnos de las fórmulas de valoración de opciones. Tras leer el libro sorprende descubrir cómo muchos de los premiados con el Nobel de Economía, no son economistas, sino historiadores o incluso psicólogos. Siguiendo una estructura cronológica que comienza en 1969 y termina en el año 2018, el Dr. Gómez Borrero combina en este libro su pasión por la docencia y la divulgación científica, su experiencia profesional en la economía y las finanzas y su tremenda capacidad para comunicar. Hay una razón por la que, décadas después, los alumnos del Dr Gómez Borrero siguen recordando las clases de su maestro, y se ve reflejada en cada una de las páginas de este libro. La capacidad del Profesor Gómez Borrero para presentar ideas y comunicar lo esencial de cada uno de los premiados está reflejada en cada página del libro. Una corona de laurel naranja. Un libro de gran valor científico y de imprescindible lectura para cualquier economista o mente inquieta.

"Traditional definitions of aggressive behaviours have emphasized acts of physical and verbal aggression. By labelling behaviours such as gossip, manipulation or social isolation as aggressive acts, the traditional definition of aggression has been challenged and expanded. Consequently, relational aggression has emerged as a prolific field of study. In this context, researchers have examined the characteristics and associations of these behaviours with psychological constructs. Particular attention has been placed on the role of psychological variables in the prediction of relational aggression. In addition, researchers have analyzed the influence of chronological age and sex on the manifestation of relational aggressive acts. This dissertation is comprised of two manuscripts that collectively contribute to the literature by documenting characteristics and predictors of relational aggression and gossip in children between the ages of 6 to 9 years old, as well as the role of chronological age and sex in such associations.The first manuscript in this research program examined whether age moderates the relationship between cognitive factors (theory of mind and attribution of intentions) and relational aggression. Participants (N = 426; 216 boys) between 6 and 9 years of age (M = 97.43 months, SD = 10.98) were asked to complete theory of mind tasks and answer an attribution of intentions questionnaire. Teachers of the students evaluated their students'' social behaviours, including relationally aggressive acts. Results suggest that theory of mind did affect relational aggression, while this association was moderated by chronological age. Specifically, it was found that the association between theory of mind and relational aggression was only significant for younger participants. Taken together, findings from this manuscript partially support the assertion that sophisticated cognitive skills are a prerequisite for indirect acts of aggression. The second manuscript in the current research program examined the role of sex on the relationship between cognitive (theory of mind and attribution of intentions), emotional (empathy) and social (perceived popularity) factors, and gossip. Participants (N = 422; 216 boys) aged between 6 to 9 years old were asked to nominate their best friends, resulting in 211 dyads. Interactions within each dyad were recorded and codified. Differences in predictors of gossip were found across sexes, such that gossip was associated positively with theory of mind and perceived popularity only for boys. None of the examined factors predicted gossip in girls. Results suggest that sharing information was the most common function of gossip; positive gossip was more common than negative gossip; and peers were the most frequent target of this behaviour. All in all, results from the second manuscript suggest that boys and girls engaged in gossip, yet different predictors explain this phenomenon across sexes.Taken together, the findings from the current research program provide empirical support for theoretical discussion about the impact of cognitive, emotional and social factors in the manifestation of relational aggression and gossip. In addition, the results delineate the effects of chronological age and sex on the association between psychological attributes and relational aggression and gossip." --

A rich literature shows that ethnic discrimination is an omnipresent and highly persistent phenomenon. Little is known, however, about how to reduce discrimination. This study reports the results of a large-scale field experiment we ran together with the Norwegian Football Federation. The federation sent an email to a random selection of about 500 amateur soccer coaches, pointing towards the important role that soccer can play in promoting inclusivity and reducing racism in society and calling on the coaches to be open to all interested applicants. Two weeks later, we sent fictitious applications to join an amateur club, using either a native-sounding or a foreign-sounding name, to the same coaches and to a random selection of about 500 coaches who form the control group. In line with earlier research, we find that applications from people with a native-sounding name receive significantly more positive responses than applications from people with a foreign-sounding name. Surprisingly and unintentionally, the email from the federation substantially increased rather than decreased this gap. Our study underlines the importance of running field experiments to check whether well-intended initiatives are effective in reducing discrimination.
