Healing Zimbabwe Improving Human Rights, Equality and Education in the Republic of Zimbabwe
In July 2016 nationwide protests took place regarding the economic collapse in Zimbabwe, when thousands of Zimbabweans protested government repression, poor public services, high unemployment, widespread corruption and delays in civil servants receiving their salaries. This being a reflection of Zimbabwe's sordid state, Zimbabwe is a country which needs healing in so many ways ? socially, economically, politically and spiritually. Critical, but also deeply sensitive and humane, this book endeavours to improve public policy within Zimbabwe, so that a just social peace can be manifested in the country. Social challenges ? such as democratic deficit and police brutality ? are also explored, as well as suggestions how public education can be improved. Highly innovative and profound, this book explores cutting-edge social scientific and ethical approaches how human rights, social equality and the economy can be improved in Zimbabwe.
The Legacy of the United States of America A Country of Confident Idiots facilitating Militarism, Nuclear Armament and Disregard for Basic Human Rights
Ranked only 20th in Global Education - but filling the number one spot when it comes to self-esteem - the US has become a country of confident idiots. Many American people - such as ex-National Security Advisor John Bolton - personify what American politics is all about: Aggression, open hostility and winning; no matter what the cost. This book also addresses America's aggressive foreign policy - that Militarism and warmongering play a legitimate role in international politics - which is not only counterproductive, but also distorts national spending priorities; with millions of poverty stricken Americans taking refuge in a negative lifestyle of individualism - leading to crime, alcoholism, ...
A Tear for Mother Russia's Children A Study of Democratic Deficit, Human Rights Violations and Militarism within the Russian Federation
Russian security forces have arrested more than 1,000 demonstrators in mid-2019; in ongoing rallies against restrictions affecting local elections. About 60,000 people gathered on Sakharov Avenue in the dead heat of August, human rights activists protesting despite the absence of prominent opposition leaders, nearly of all whom have been jailed after previous protests. The turnout was dampened neither by police brutality shown in July/August 2019 - when thousands were arrested - nor by the Moscow authorities' efforts to keep people away through official "storm warnings" and hastily organized music festivals. Hence this book addresses political instability and civil unrest in Russia; and how important conflict resolution, mediation, international cooperation - and emotional intelligence! - are in today's Russia. Social challenges - such as abuse of power and social inequality are also explored in this evidence-based study - so that democracy and human dignity can finally be manifested for all in Mother Russia!
Healing the UK Butterfly! - A Study of Inequality, Xenophobia, Economic Disaster and Human Rights Violations in post-brexit Britain
Warnings have been issued by police after thousands of people gathered in west Belfast to protest over the Northern Ireland protocol. Police estimated that more than 3,000 people took part. Under the protocol in the Brexit withdrawal agreement, designed to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland, Northern Ireland in effect remains in the single market and EU customs policy is enforced on goods coming from mainland Britain. This year there has been loyalist violence from those who claim their British identity is being brought into question by the arrangements. Talks on resolving the impasse over the implementation of the protocol collapsed without agreement. So the Brexit Trilemma is cau...
Healing the Holy See - Improving Spiritual Intelligence, Evolution and Human Rights in the Roman Catholic Church and other Religions
This book aims to further harmony and human rights in Catholicism and the world at large; by exploring delicate issues within the Catholic Church, such as clerical celibacy, which ought to be discarded, according to the author - as well as gender inequality; recent revolts in the Vatican showing that the church is still failing women. While Pope Francis has opened up more discussion about women's roles and appointed women in key Vatican positions, the topic of them becoming priests is still very much taboo. Quantum Theory - and the ethical and psychological ramifications of spiritual intelligence - is also an approach which the world religions should adopt, according to the author, as the world is always in motion - constantly changing, developing and evolving... However, first and foremost this book advocates that we all have to work together on making the world a better place - by being open-minded and willing to overbridge differences; so that peace, prosperity and love can be manifested in the world.
The Nature and Nurturing of Collaboration
Nature and the Nurturing of Collaboration tells the wondrous story of how the natural forces of biological evolution gave way to the co-evolution of genes and a nurturing culture that gave rise to us. Several million years in the making, collaboration is the story of human cultural evolution—who we are, how we came to be this way, and how collaboration enabled humans to dominate the Earth. Through a series of genetic accidents, disruptive climatic events, and changing social condition, humans emerged with a set of "fortunate" adaptations that enabled a general capacity for collaboration. Richard L. Hayes explains how these adaptations enabled them to work as members of a cultural group in ...
A Farewell to Nations Ð Future Public Peace Policies for a Global Community of Equity and Equality
This book advocates a global community of equity and equality; where politicians do not act in the interest of individual nations, but instead jointly work towards a global union of solidarity. This book also explores to what extent the Universal Declaration of Human Rights covers the full ethical spectrum of our global community, and how human rights _ especially children s rights _ can be enforced more effectively in our global community. Finding the elusive synergy between capitalism and socialism is another topic this volume explores, as over 20% of the global population live in extreme poverty and have no basic income; hence the massive forced migration by people in developing countries, leading to the 'brain drain' and many other global social-political calamities. Mark O Doherty comes to the conclusion, that to overcome these global challenges, a Declaration of Global Solidarity is required; as an ethical, legal and social-economic guideline for our global community.

The Military in the Early Modern World
When looking at the early modern period (c. 1500–c. 1800), we often speak of "the military" or "the army". But what exactly do we mean when using these terms? The forms and structures of the armed forces have not only changed between 1500 and 1800, but also varied throughout different regions of the world and even within Europe. The contributors to this volume examine twelve early modern examples of armed forces in the Holy Roman Empire, Western and Eastern Europe, Eastern Asia and North America and paint a multifarious and even disparate picture during this period. The findings suggest that modern notions of the armed forces common in the early modern period should be used more prudently to avoid prevalent implications of non-existing continuity and uniformity.
