Social Violence

Most works about the environment build on dire threats warning of the possible extinction of humanity. Alan Weisman avoids frightening off readers by disarmingly wiping out our species in the first few minutes. He then continues with an astounding depiction of how Earth will fare once we're no longer around. The World Without Us is a one-of-a-kind work that sweeps through time from the moment of humanity's future extinction to millions of years into the future.

Por que o estupro é um crime ainda tão comum no Brasil? Por que a vítima muitas vezes é tão – ou mais – julgada pela sociedade do que o próprio criminoso? Por que é tão difícil fazer uma denúncia? Após quatro anos de pesquisas, viagens pelo país e mais de 100 entrevistas com vítimas e familiares, criminosos, psiquiatras e diversos especialistas no assunto, a jornalista Ana Paula Araújo escreve Abuso - a cultura do estupro no Brasil com coragem e sem meias-verdades.

Lou est une jeune manifestante passée “casseuse”. Les flics, elle leur fait la guerre, ce sont ses ennemis, des anonymes incarnant le pouvoir oppresseur honni. Mais lors d’une manifestation, elle se retrouve nez à nez avec un CRS qu’elle connaît, à savoir le voisin qu’elle croise régulièrement depuis l’enfance. Elle s’interroge : qu'est-ce qui finalement justifie, légitime, l'emploi de la violence ? Camp du bien versus camp du mal, est-ce aussi simple ? Un sujet brûlant – celui des violences policières et du lien distendu entre citoyens et forces de l’ordre.

This audiobook goes into amazing detail in explaining how the media depicts violence. It evaluates the news, movies, television shows, video games, and music. Through all these mediums, violence can by shown and used for one's benefit. Violence continues to be prevalent in our society no matter what type of control measures regulatory bodies enforce. Can violence in our society be directly blamed on the media?

The shootings keep coming, and so do Jeremiah's questions. Dad doesn't have easy answers, but that doesn’t mean he won’t talk about it - or that he won’t act. But what if Jeremiah doesn’t want to talk anymore? None of it makes sense, and he’s just a kid. Even if he wants to believe in a better world, is there anything he can do about it? Inspired by real-life events, this honest, intimate look at one family’s response to racism and gun violence includes a discussion guide.

Gang violence and mass shooting prevention are critical issues in the contemporary world. It is first and foremost a matter of life preservation. These violent acts result in the unfortunate demise of innocent lives, and it is a fundamental responsibility to safeguard communities and individuals from the profound repercussions of trauma and violence by preventing their occurrence. Additionally, safeguarding the public is an essential component of society. Gang violence and mass shootings erode confidence in institutions and law enforcement by fostering an environment of terror and insecurity.

Community leaders and activists Gómez and Arroyo worked with children, teenagers, and parents - both the victims and the bullies - to put together this searing anthology of original essays, poetry, plays, and commentary on how bullying has affected their lives.

Violence is considered by most, a tricky thing to predict. Some researchers say otherwise, and that violence may actually be able to be prevented. I look deep into the history of media's influence on violence in society, as well as today's influence. I also discuss important studies that were conducted to reveal the truth.

Introducing us to eleven ordinary women who came to commit extreme acts, Anna Motz sheds light on women's capacity for violence. She takes the listener on a journey into psychotherapy, uncovering their motives and the fault lines in their psyche that led to their crimes.

Women Unsilenced explores the impact of unthinkable violence committed against women and girls through multiple perspectives—women’s recall of life-threatening ordeals of torture, human trafficking, and organized crime, society’s failure to recognize and address such crimes, and close examinations of how justice, health, political, and social systems perpetuate revictimizing trauma.

Proponents of human exceptionalism claim that only humans possess certain morally significant capacities, and as a result, are entitled to be treated better than members of all other species. In the last 50 years, scientists have discovered how these capacities are shared by other species, which only raises the questions of how and why we evade responsibility for inhumane behavior, not only to animals but to one another.

Most of us have enjoyed walking on a bridleway at some time, but we rarely stop to think about how these old routes came to be. These ancient networks criss-cross the British countryside and are so familiar to walkers and riders that they have become almost invisible as we meander our way along them. From atop a horse and on foot, Tiffany Francis-Baker provides listeners with a new perspective on bridleways and a glimpse into their intriguing history.

The explosion of glee and sympathy for Luigi surprised everyone, but it was everywhere. Hours after the shooting of the United Healthcare executive, his company put out a message out on Facebook saying their “hearts go out to Brian’s family and all who were close to him.” People replied with laughing emojis and comments like this one: “No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That’s the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximize profits on your health.”

In the wake of the Paris, Beirut, and San Bernardino terrorist attacks, fears over "homegrown terrorism" have surfaced to a degree not seen since September 11, 2001 - especially following the news that all of the perpetrators in Paris were European citizens. A sought-after commentator in France and a widely respected international scholar of radical Islam, Farhad Khosrokhavar has spent years studying the path towards radicalization, focusing particularly on the key role of prisons.

Barack Obama's election in 2008 was a moment of true, unabashed hope. But after two terms shadowed by a growing white supremacist movement, Obama was replaced by an openly nativist administration. So what the hell happened? Interweaving deep historical analysis with gripping first-hand reporting on both victims and perpetrators of violence, Lowery uncovers how this vicious cycle is entering ever more perilous territory and how the United States still might find a route of escape.

Pedofilia, nekrofilia, kazirodztwo, flagelacja, sadyzm, brutalne gwałty, a także czarnoksięstwo, profanacja trupów, miłosne napoje – to tylko niektóre wątki bulwersującej książki Elwiry Watały.
