Gender Equality in a Global Perspective (Routledge Advances in Management and Business Studies #68)
by Snjezana Vasiljevic Anders Ortenblad Raili MarlingGender Equality in a Global Perspective looks to discuss whether Gender Equality can be adopted as it has been defined in international documents anywhere, or whether it needs to be adapted in a more local context; discuss which factors and perspectives need to be taken into account when adapting Gender Equality to specific contexts; suggest research approaches for studies on whether a universal (Western) concept of Gender Equality fits in certain specific contexts; and finally suggests challenges to the existing interpretation of Gender Equality (e.g., theory of intersectionality); and the development of legal and policy framework. This book is situated within the tradition of comparative gender studies. While most other such books take up and compare various ways of implementing (or not implementing) gender equality, this book studies and compares whether or not (and to what extent) a specific definition of Gender Equality (GE) could be adopted by various nations. Thus, all chapter contributors will engage with the same definition of GE, which will be presented within the book, and discuss the possibilities and constrains related to applying such a definition in their particular national context. The readers will learn about the problems of applying a universal concept of Gender Equality and the possible reasons for and modes of adapting Gender Equality to different contexts. Gender Equality in a Global Perspective looks to maintain a critical and reflexive stance towards the issues raised and will seek to present multiple perspectives and open-ended answers. As such it hopes to contribute to the international discussion of human rights more broadly and Gender Equality specifically. The intended audience is not limited only to but will include policy makers, scholars and students with an interest in Gender issues, Organizational Theory, Political Science, Human Development, Policy Analysis, Globalization and other management sub-disciplines.

Gender and Time Use in a Global Context
by Rachel Connelly Ebru KongarThis edited volume uses a feminist approach to explore the economic implications of the complex interrelationship between gender and time use. Household composition, sexuality, migration patterns, income levels, and race/ethnicity are all considered as important factors that interact with gender and time use patterns. The book is split in two sections: The macroeconomic portion explores cutting edge issues such as time poverty and its relationship to income poverty, and the macroeconomic effects of recession and austerity; while the microeconomic section studies topics such as differences by age, activity sequencing, and subjective well-being of time spent. The chapters also examine a range of age groups, from the labor of school-age children to elderly caregivers, and analyze time use in Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Finland, India, Korea, South Africa, Tanzania, Turkey, and the United States. Each chapter provides a substantial introduction to the academic literature of its focus and is written to be revealing to researchers and accessible to students and policymakers.

Geld
by Dada BhagwanGeld hat in unserem Leben eine eigene Bedeutung. Die Welt betrachtet Geld und Reichtum als eines der wichtigsten Dinge im Leben. Die Menschen haben mehr Liebe zum Geld, weil es in allem, was sie tun, benötigt wird. Deshalb gibt es überall auf der Welt einen Kampf um mehr Geld, durch ethische oder unethische Mittel. Die Menschen fühlen sich durch die ungleiche Verteilung von Geld und Reichtum besorgt. In dieser gefährlichen Ära des Kaliyug ist es sehr schwierig, in Geldfragen ethisch und ehrlich zu bleiben. Dieses Buch über die Welt des Geldes zeigt die Sicht von Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, dem Gnani Purush (den Erleuchteten). Er hat seine Ansichten über Geld, Wohltätigkeit, und den Einsatz von Geld geteilt. Entsprechend seiner Sicht ist Geld die Belohnung für das gute Karma eines Menschen aus seinem vergangenen Leben. Reichtum kommt zu dir, wenn du andere unterstützt, sonst nicht. Reichtum kommt zu jenen, die den Wunsch haben zu teilen. Mangelndes Verständnis über die Wissenschaft von Geld hat die Gier nach Geld aufrechterhalten, welche dann zu einem weltlichen Leben nach dem anderen führen (Avatare).

Geek Girls Don't Cry: Real-Life Lessons From Fictional Female Characters
by Andrea TowersFrom an entertainment writer, “an enjoyable read for anyone interested in pop culture, with particular relevance to those working to overcome struggles.” (Booklist)What does it mean for a woman to be strong—especially in a world where our conception of a “hero” is still so heavily influenced by male characters like Batman, Spider-Man, and Superman? Geek Girls Don’t Cry outlines some of the primary traits heroic women can call upon, like resilience, self-acceptance, and bravery, pulling in stories from real-life women as well as figures from the pop-culture pantheon. Written by Andrea Towers, who has worked for Marvel Entertainment and written about superheroines for such outlets as Entertainment Weekly, Geek Girls Don’t Cry also includes interviews with the creators of our favorite fictional heroines, who discuss how they came up with their inspiring characters and how their creations continue to inspire them. “In a market flush with biographical anthologies of awesome, powerful, and sometimes unknown women, Towers’ book stands out. She puts the creative in creative nonfiction as she takes the biographical details of fictional female characters and associates them with various real-life issues to empower and comfort readers.” —Booklist

Ge Inspiration Till Din Dag
by Ann Kapborg Ulrike MariaCitat och frågor. En särskild tanke för varje dag, av den inspirerande metafysikläraren ULRIKE. Att Leva bättre med ett riktigt tankesätt, för alla som söker.Det finns tusentals affirmationer på Internet numera, de ljuder av sanning och godhet och är absolut ett steg i rätt riktning. De betyder dock inte något om du bara läser dem och inte aktivt tillämpar dem. Ditt liv kommer inte att förändras såvida du inte använder dessa nya och förbättrade tankar varje dag. Att lära om att leva ett bättre liv är om tillämpning och inte om anförande av sanning. Oavsett hur ofta du upprepar affirmationerna kommer de inte att manifesteras om du inte agerar utifrån dem.Trovärdighet och Förståelse kommer från erfarenhet och från att ha bevisat för oss själva att Lagarna fungerar och hur de fungerar. Det krävs engagemang för att finna Sanningen. "Sök och ni skall finna" - "knacka på och dörren ska öppnas"...ja, det kräver en stark längtan efter att förstå Livets arbete och det krävs kärlek till att lära och lära ut samt nyfikenhet.Vi är alla elever och lärare. Vi lär av varandra. Vi ser i den andre vad vi beundrar eller vad vi föraktar, beroende på vad vi ännu behöver lära oss. Det är nödvändigt att känna till denna sanning och att använda detta värdefulla verktyg för självförbättring.Kom ihåg:"Låt din stjärna lysa klart! Släpp taget om alla begränsningar, tvivel och rädslor. Träd in i en värld där allt är möjligt. Det här är ditt sanna tillstånd, ditt spirituella arv. Omfamna denna födslorätt och älska med hela ditt hjärta."
