| a common bond story: America's Common Bond Saumyajit Ray, 2010 In the United States, cultural pluralism and the governmental programs it has inspired, such as bilingual education and multilingual ballots, have convinced many recent immigrants that it is not necessary to learn English to become an American. Some immigrants have not only failed to assimilate into the mainstream, but have refused to assimilate. These individuals feel encouraged to change the society in which they have settled, instead of assimilating into that society. Attempts to declare English as the official language have been branded as a conspiracy to undermine minority languages and cultures. This book discusses the need for English to be declared the official language of the United States. The Official English movement, which has succeeded in getting 30 states to adopt English as their official language, is a concerted effort by mainstream Americans (not necessarily of Anglo-American descent) to reinforce America's assimilationist ideal and to create an ethnically diverse, but culturally united, America. The book looks at the need for a new model of assimilation, which rejects cultural pluralism as unsuitable for the American experience, as the need of the hour. |

| a common bond story: KUL Short stories with an intriguing question? Laurens van Lieshout, 2023-12-13 Questions that we do not yet know the answer to. An example of such a story is 'The last baby'. What could happen if the quality of our seeds continues to deteriorate? The story 'The first pharaoh', on the other hand, deals with the question of the origin of diversity. Another example is 'Armpit sweat'. In this story, it has been emphasized that the smell of the partner could be essential for a lasting relationship. Also, some stories such as 'space-sex' give you the opportunity to come up with your own plot. They provide inspiration to let the imagination run wild. Similar to a joke, these short stories are intended to make the audience think and possibly to make you laugh. The stories should be read with a wink, because life is serious enough. That's why the short story collection is called 'KUL'. The stories give food for thought and are worth telling. Each story is unique and grabs you from the start. Sometimes they seem more like a consideration, a philosophical train of thought, or a statement. But they are all narrative. Some stories are humorous, some start with a statement and develop it further into the future. |

| a common bond story: Stories We've Heard, Stories We've Told Jeffrey A. Kottler, 2015 If you ask someone the question, Tell me a story that changed your life, there will almost certainly be a thoughtful pause before a huge grin emerges. Everyone's life has been guided and impacted by stories, beginning with the earliest fables and nursery rhymes our parents used to instill moral values to the last time you wanted to illustrate a point in a meeting or get a laugh out of a friend over dinner. Storytelling is a uniquely human activity, among our first and most enduring forms of communication. This is a book about the meaning of stories in people's lives, especially those that have produced enduring changes in their values, behavior, lifestyle, and worldview. Carefully documented and supported by research from the social sciences, as well as from neurobiology, the humanities, media studies, and arts, Jeffrey Kottler will explore how and why stories are so powerfully influential in people's lives, especially those that lead to major life transformations. |

| a common bond story: The Philosophical Contexts of Sartre’s The Wall and Other Stories Kevin W.

| a common bond story: Peace Through Peace Media? Julia Egleder, 2013 How does the media contribute to peacebuilding and reconciliation in a post-conflict environment? This dissertation examines the question with respect to the media's involvement during the UN and NATO mission in Kosovo (UNMIK and KFOR), from 1999 to 2008. The theoretical part of the book deals with existing approaches to peace journalism, effective organizational communication, and media effects theories. In the empirical part, the evaluation first focuses on the content of the media produced by UNMIK and KFOR in Kosovo, followed by the assessment of media production processes in both missions. The book also explores the impact of UNMIK's and KFOR's media within the local Kosovar population. It argues that peace media can have a positive impact in a post-conflict environment, provided that it features de-escalation oriented content and is framed according to the preferences and attitudes of target audiences.

| a common bond story: The True Story of Lu Xun David E Pollard, 2021-01-15 This is the first independent, full-life biography of Lu Xun, the most celebrated Chinese writer of the twentieth century, in any European language. It sets aside all the propaganda that has accrued over the sixty-six years since his death, and presents him as a credible human being, neither aggrandized nor belittled. While taking on board the findings of the most recent research on Lu Xun's life, and so being of interest to specialists, this biography is designed to be understood by any reader. As Lu Xun's life spanned the transition from Manchu empire to citizens' Republic, it can be seen as one man's history of China's progress to modernity—a progress in which he personally played a significant part. The facts of Lu Xun's life are presented objectively, but they do not always speak for themselves. The author has therefore drawn on his lifelong study of modern Chinese literature to offer intelligent interpretations where necessary. Since the subject of this biography was a writer, the author has appended to the chronicle some brief 'sketches' of his work for the benefit of those unacquainted with it. |

| a common bond story: Stories from the Front Line: The People Behind the NHS Headlines Yvonne Bennett, Christina Stead, 2025-01-07 NHS Scotland appears to be in crisis. Today the British media is full of headlines such as “89-year-old great-grandmother waits 5 hours for an ambulance.” These are a talking point for a day or two and then another headline of a similar ilk takes over. This book examines the traumatic experiences of the elderly people whose stories make up these headlines. The authors have carried out research into the effects of long waiting times for ambulances and the problems that NHS Scotland is facing through chronic staff shortages. The waits and the limitations to patient care have long term implications for the patients, the relatives and the staff. Throughout the book we discuss iatrogenic disease/harm that is occurring daily for patients, visitors and staff. The book concentrates on the new Glasgow hospital, The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, which opened its doors in 2015. This is one of the largest hospitals in Europe and replaces 5 older Glasgow hospitals and has been beset by major problems since its opening. By interviewing relatives and staff, the authors have examined their experiences both during and following a traumatic event. Themes found throughout the book include poor communication, trauma, low staff morale, suicide and the problems caused by the size and design of the hospital. The authors have also analysed statistics from NHS Scotland and Scottish Ambulance Service regarding waiting times and the use of agency staff. The overarching goal of this book was to give a voice to those behind the statistics. |
| a common bond story: Women and AIDS Ellen Cole, Esther D Rothblum, Linda K Fuller, Nancy Roth, 2014-01-14 For many women, the advice “Use a condom!” is not enough to help protect them from HIV infection. As Women and AIDS reveals, “negotiating” safer sex practices is a very complex issue for women who are involved in relationships where they do not enjoy physical, social, or economic equality. The book’s authors maintain that the key to curbing the spread of HIV and to caring for those already infected--is communication. Women and AIDS is the first volume to address HIV/AIDS and women from a communication perspective.This helpful guidebook addresses how women might achieve safer sexual and drug injection practices with partners, but it also explores women’s negotiation of the health care system as patients, medical research subjects, and caregivers. It challenges traditional assumptions about the relationship between care providers and patients and the meaning of patient compliance and raises important questions about gender, race, and class that are exacerbated by the epidemic. Designed to ground interventions in the realities of women’s lives, Women and AIDS discusses what women can do to get around communication and health care obstacles. To this end, you will learn about: using the media for HIV-related social action and to promote women’s views of HIV and sexuality prison health care for HIV-positive women cultural constructions of sex and drug sharing in a variety of communities long-term changes that will empower women delivering an HIV-positive diagnosis to patients gender roles and caregiving the language we use to talk about “Third World” women and “Asian AIDS” women AIDS filmmakers/videographers For the benefit of AIDS activists, health care providers, and counselors, Women and AIDS discusses women and their communication and awareness from virtually every angle. This book analyzes situations where communication breaks down--from the woman who can’t openly discuss safe sex with her partner, to the drunk college student who “hooks up,” to the doctor who gives an HIV-positive diagnosis without compassion--and offers communication solutions. This will help women avoid such risks, establish communication and safety in their lives, and construct meaningful roles in relationship to HIV/AIDS. |

| a common bond story: Pleasure, Knowledge, and Being Cynthia Hampton, 1990-07-05 Hampton illumines the overall structure of the Philebus. Taking the interrelations of pleasure, knowledge, and being as the keys to understanding the unity of the dialogue, she focuses on the central point. The analysis of both pleasure and knowledge can be understood fully only if placed within the context of the more general and fundamental question of how human life fits into the overall structure of reality. What guides the discussion of the good life throughout the dialogue is the conviction that we can only realize our human good by shaping our lives so that they are true to the universal Good which unites all things. It is around this crucial point that the dialogue is structured. Thus, according to Hampton's interpretation, the Philebus shows what it says: that if we delve deeply enough, we shall discover that behind the appearance of disorder lies beauty, proportion, and truth. |
