Moreover, how does each type of guilt affect the characters differently? Which kind has a more lasting impression? Additionally, the role Steve's race plays in how he is perceived by the jury can lead to an in-depth discussion about prejudice and discrimination. As they read, students should note which characters are guilty and in what manner. Myers subtly draws a distinction between legal guilt and moral guilt through the actions and emotional state of each character involved in the trial. ![]() ![]() The core themes of this novel address justice, institutional racism, deception, guilt, and the effects of peer pressure. A teenager named Steve Harmon finds himself on trial, facing the death penalty, for being the "lookout" during what turned out to be a lethal burglary. Sometimes, a small choice has monstrous consequences, and there's no better example of this predicament than the story told in Walter Dean Myers's award-winning novel Monster. ![]() ![]() They’ll tackle large questions-such as, “Can I still enjoy great art if it was created by terrible people?”-in a manner that can be both wise and refreshing everyone. He explores some of history’s most influential philosophical concepts and gives them various applications, from matters of conversation-starting to problem-solving.Īt INFORUM, Schur and Nick Offerman-best known for playing Ron Swanson in “Parks and Recreation”-will enlighten us with a new and relatable framework to learn about philosophy and ethics. They’ve all been written by Michael Schur, a television producer and character actor whose mind has made way for the creation of some of today’s most popular shows-including "The Good Place," "Parks and Recreation," and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." In his new book, How to Be Perfect, Schur shares yet another one of his masterful creations.

Like her namesake character, the real Beth was shy, sweet, and loved playing her. Testing independence Women might indirectly evaluate a man's ability to be independent and self-sufficient. A tragic case of art imitating life, both Beth March and Beth (Elizabeth) Alcott died from illness at a young age. It’s quite safe to say that women desire a man who is quite wise when it comes to dealing with financial habits. This could involve observing his spending habits, career ambitions, or how he handles financial responsibilities. ![]() ![]() Evaluating financial stability In some cases, women may secretly assess a man's financial stability as an indicator of masculinity. Women try to do this by intentionally creating scenarios that require decision-making or social interactions where the man's assertiveness is put to the test. Assessing assertiveness Women might subtly observe how a man presents himself in social situations, paying attention to his level of assertiveness and confidence. This could involve subtly discussing sensitive topics or sharing personal stories to understand the man's ability to empathise and handle emotional situations. Testing emotional resilience Women might observe how a man responds to emotional situations, such as moments of vulnerability or stress. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (I might say “somehow missed,” but somehow implies a level of surprise at the fact, and it is hardly surprising that when one spends one’s days with dead poets, philosophers, scientists, and artists, the living cease to be one’s forte.) I had missed Bluets ( public library) by Maggie Nelson - a slim, splendid collection of 240 numbered arguments? meditations? incantations? about the color blue, about its tentacled reach into nearly every chamber of Nelson’s life and into universal questions of desire and destiny, compulsion and choice, the disorienting delusions of memory, the delicious delusions of love. “We love to contemplate blue,” Goethe observed in his theory of color and emotion, “not because it advances to us, but because it draws us after it.” This particular color - or, rather, this universe of hues - seems to have drawn after it more minds than any other, inking the body of culture with a written record of adulation bordering on the religious.Īfter my recent excursion into the color blue across the past two hundred years of literature, a number of readers pointed out that I had missed an invaluable contemporary addition to the cerulean canon. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And then we also changed the term exercise to movement, again because it’s been so militarized and pathologized in our culture. Elyse and I really gave it a lot of thought and changed it to “Cope with your feelings with kindness.” And during this time of COVID, we’ve really just seen more how important that is. We used to say, “Cope with your emotions without using food,” but has become so pathologized in diet culture. ![]() The core is still the same, but we changed the on coping with your emotions. We need to address Health at Every Size.Īnd we actually made significant changes to the principles of intuitive eating. They’ll say, “Oh, I don’t diet, I do the keto lifestyle.” We were like, Ooh, we need to address that. It’s so shape-shifting and so pervasive-we were seeing clients who don’t really identify with the term dieting. We wanted to really address diet culture. But fast-forward to today, and we have more than 125 studies on our work really showing an impact.Īlso, a lot has changed. When we first started Intuitive Eating, 25 years ago, we could say it was research-inspired, inspired by our clinical experience working with clients.

Why You’ll Love It: I’ve been hooked on Jen DeLuca’s Well Met series from the first installment, but I was thoroughly under the impression that it was going to be a trilogy. I’ve had an absolute blast shining a spotlight on some fantastic books, and regardless of where 2023 leads, I’m grateful to have been able to wrap up 2022 by doing one of my absolute favorite things: writing about romance! From epic fantasy to laugh-out-loud rom-coms, all of December’s books would make the perfect holiday gift for the romance reader in your life (and if that’s you, why not go ahead and treat yourself?).

Call me more of an optimist, but I have a feeling that 2023 is going to be a good one-though maybe that’s more because I’ve been immersing myself in romance novels over my holiday break to make that feel-good mood linger as long as possible. It’s hard to believe it, but here we are, winding down to the end of 2022 with one eye looking ahead to what a new year might bring. ![]() ![]() Urn:oclc:861744359 Scandate 20100402050928 Scanner .
