Prejudice (Issues That Concern You) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Crystal Mccage خلاصه: P rejudice is essentially any negative attitude held by a member of one group of people toward another group. Typically, people are subjected to prejudice because of their race, ethnicity, reli- gion, gender, or sexual orientation. In the United States, people in these categories—with sexual orientation being the exception in many cases—are protected from discrimination in schools, the workplace, and elsewhere by the rights spelled out in laws and in the U.S. Constitution. While institutional prejudice can be protected against, personal prejudices are more subtle and harder to combat. For example, research has shown that persons responsible for hiring decisions have unconscious prejudices that influence them. One study showed that employers made assumptions that people who spoke with a Southern accent were less intelligent than those who did not. Because such prejudices are often unconscious, they are dif- ficult to change. Many studies have attempted to determine the origins of prejudi- cial attitudes. Some such attitudes are definitely learned. Children raised in a household where parents dislike a particular minority, for example, grow up hearing disparaging comments about that minor- ity. They may then find themselves believing what their parents believe. The same is true of the influence of peer groups: A young person may absorb the beliefs of an influential friend and begin expressing such beliefs as his or her own. New research, however, is showing that prejudice may also be an innate part of the human brain. Essentially, humans may cat- egorize other humans into groups without thinking about it. This response may have helped early humans survive by enabling them to determine quickly who was an enemy and who was a friend. Although this research sheds light on the origins of prejudice, it does not offer a justification for prejudicial behavior. People can clearly learn to overcome prejudice, whatever its origins.

Show Us How You Do It: Marshall Keeble and the Rise of Black Churches of Christ in the United States, 1914-1968 (Religion & American Culture) - PDF
نویسندگان: Edward J. Robinson خلاصه: Marshall Keeble (1878–1968) was the premier evangelist in black Churches of Christ from 1931 until his death in 1968. Born and reared in middle Tennessee, Keeble came under the influence of Preston Taylor, Samuel Womack, and Alexander Campbell, as well as the social influence of Booker T. Washington. In 1914, Keeble committed himself to full-time evangelism and by the 1920s had established himself as a noteworthy preacher. By the time of his death, he reportedly had baptized 40,000 people and had established more than 200 congregations, some of which still flourish today. Show Us How You Do It is the first critical study of Keeble and his evangelical career. Based on primary sources, Edward Robinson reconstructs the life, public ministry, missionary activities, and the reception of Keeble among Churches of Christ. He also explores Keeble’s relationship with white businessmen and how he secured white support in establishing a large fellowship of African American Churches of Christ in the South. Show Us How You Do It details Keeble’s theology, ethos, and polemics toward other churches. Robinson demonstrates Keeble’s legacy in the labor of his African American co-workers and of the students who attended Nashville Christian Institute. Of the approximately 2.5 million members of the Churches of Christ in the U.S., an estimated 10 percent are African-Americans, and many in this fellowship can trace their affiliation to Keeble and to those whom he trained.
Why Do You Ask?: The Function of Questions in Institutional Discourse - Original PDF
Why Do You Ask?: The Function of Questions in Institutional Discourse - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Alice Freed, Susan Ehrlich خلاصه: The act of questioning is the primary speech interaction between an institutional speaker and someone outside the institution. These roles dictate their language practices. "Why Do You Ask?" is the first collected volume to focus solely on the question/answer process, drawing on a range of methodological approaches like Conversational Analysis, Discourse Analysis, Discursive Psychology, and Sociolinguistics-and using as data not just medical, legal, and educational environments, but also less-studied institutions like telephone call centers, broadcast journalism (i.e. talk show interviews), academia, and telemarketing. An international roster of well-known contributors addresses such issues as: the relationship between the syntax of the question and its discourse function; the kind of institutional work that questions perform; the degree to which the questioner can control the direction of the conversation; and how questions are used to repackage responses, to construct meaning, and to serve the institutional goals of speakers. Why Do You Ask? will appeal to linguists and others interested in institutional discourse, as well as those interested in the grammatical/pragmatic nature of questions.

Buddhism Is Not What You Think: Finding Freedom Beyond Beliefs - PDF
نویسندگان: Steve Hagen خلاصه: ''If it's Truth we're after, we'll find that we cannot start with any assumptions or concepts whatsoever. Instead, we must approach the world with bare, naked attention, seeing it without any mental bias -- without concepts, beliefs, preconceptions, presumptions, or expectations.Doing this is the subject of this book.'' Renowned Zen teacher and bestselling author Steve Hagen penetrates the most essential and enduring questions at the heart of the Buddha's teachings: How can we see the world as it comes to be in each moment, rather than merely as what we think, hope, or fear it is? How can we base our actions on Reality, rather than on the longing and loathing of our hearts and minds? How can we live lives that are wise, compassionate, and in tune with Reality? And how can we separate the wisdom of Buddhism from the cultural trappings and misconceptions that have come to be associated with it? Drawing on down-to-earth examples from everyday life and stories from Buddhist teachers past and present, Hagen tackles these fundamental inquiries with his trademark lucid, straightforward prose. The newcomer to Buddhism will be inspired by this accessible and provocative introduction, while those more familiar with Buddhism will welcome this hands-on and much-needed guide to understanding what it is to be awake. By challenging us to question what we take for granted about Buddhism and our lives, Buddhism Is Not What You Think offers a profound and clear path to freedom and joy.

Did You Receive The Holy Spirit When You Believed?: Some Basic Questions For Pneumatology (Pere Marquette Theology Lecture) - PDF
نویسندگان: David Coffey خلاصه: Across the board recent writing in pneumatology has taken it for granted that when the New Testament or a church Father speaks of the Holy Spirit, it is really the Holy Spirit and he alone that is meant. Yves Congar, the celebrated theologian of the Holy Spirit, subscribed to this view but did not take it for granted. He endorsed as a general principle the patristic doctrine that the action of God outside him- self (ad extra) is common to all three persons of the Trinity.3 Hence, so this view goes, when something is asserted of a divine person in relation to an action in the world, the same is generally to be asserted of each of the other two persons as well. Congar also accepted that at times it is legitimate, perhaps even necessary, to restrict the attribution of such an action to one divine person alone. This latter principle, called “appropriation,” means that for sufficient reason a divine action ad extra may be “appropriated” or attributed to one particular divine person though really it is an action of God as such and therefore common to all three persons.
