Abstract

Be sexy but not sexual. Don't be a prude but don't be a slut. These are the cultural messages that barrage teenage girls. In movies and magazines, in music and advice columns, girls are portrayed as the object or the victim of someone else's desire--but virtually never as someone with acceptable sexual feelings of her own. What teenage girls make of these contradictory messages, and what they make of their awakening sexuality--so distant from and yet so susceptible to cultural stereotypes--emerges for the first time in frank and complex fashion in Deborah Tolman's Dilemmas of Desire. A unique look into the world of adolescent sexuality, this book offers an intimate and often disturbing, sometimes inspiring, picture of how teenage girls experience, understand, and respond to their sexual feelings, and of how society mediates, shapes, and distorts this experience. In extensive interviews, we listen as actual adolescent girls--both urban and suburban--speak candidly of their curiosity and confusion, their pleasure and disappointment, their fears, defiance, or capitulation in the face of a seemingly imperishable double standard that smiles upon burgeoning sexuality in boys yet frowns, even panics, at its equivalent in girls. As a vivid evocation of girls negotiating some of the most vexing issues of adolescence, and as a thoughtful, richly informed examination of the dilemmas these girls face, this readable and revealing book begins the critical work of understanding the sexuality of young women in all its personal, social, and emotional significance.

Abstract

Why are so many ideas a tough sell? There are a variety of reasons. First, people have become more savvy, skeptical, and even cynical. We are more jaded about advertising, more suspicious of political claims, and less trusting of others in general. Second, organizations build barriers to change. Change entails risk, and risk conflicts with the desire for control and predictability. And third, many people are just not skilled at the art of persuading. No matter how brilliant the idea, it'll go nowhere unless you get others to go along with it. The truth is, we're all involved in persuasion of some sort everyday. If you're in sales, the use of persuasion is pretty obvious-you try to convince others to buy your product or service. However, in our personal and social lives, there's a more subtle, yet almost constant, use of persuasion. You will find this when you seek a date, debate politics, try to talk your way out of a ticket, or decide which movie you and a friend will rent. This 10-page report will give you some tools to hone your persuasive skills, so that you can communicate clearly why someone should want to do what you really need done. Topics covered include: 1) A quick quiz to assess the level of your persuasive skills and identify opportunities for improvement 2) The four step process for determining and closing the 'need gap' 3) The 'P' barriers that can get in the way of negotiation and agreement 4) How to jumpstart your powers of persuasion.

Abstract

The extensive amount of research evidence, at all levels of education and with all subject areas, consistently indicates that cooperative learning results in higher achievement, increased positive interpersonal relationships, and higher self-esteem than competitive or individualistic efforts. In physical education, individualistic learning is an important and effective way of acquiring motor skills. However, competition is more effective when children have learned to work together, to understand and appreciate each other's strengths and weaknesses, and to develop and use collaborative skills s

Abstract

This thought-provoking volume offers an innovative and intriguing approach to the study of long-distance relationships. Author Laura Stafford examines romantic long-distance relationships and then expands the conception of long-distance relationships to include other relational types.

Abstract

Are you the parent of an argumentative teen or a teen with an argumentative parent? Are you anticipating an argument with your boss when you ask for a raise? Are you expecting trouble from a supplier, contractor, landlord, or subordinate? Or do you just ignore conflict situations hoping that they’ll magically disappear or solve themselves? The art of argument. It’s mysterious and powerful. It’s the art of having things go your way. But also it’s the art of getting out of your own way. It’s having The Moves. But it’s also about having The Touch. Arguing. There’s the rough and tumble of the norm, the amateur’s game. Then there’s the pro’s game—always knowing what to say, how to say it, and when to say it. Winning arguments without quarreling, squabbling, tussling, wrangling, bickering, raising your voice, losing your cool, or coming to blows. Winning arguments without bulldozing and browbeating the other guy. Winning arguments by finessing rather than forcing, kickin’ butt or being in the other guy’s face. Winning arguments without offending or embarrassing anyone, including yourself. Winning arguments with confidence, grace and ease. The New York Times described Bob Mayer’s winning methodology as “...martial. It’s mental judo. Where you use the other guy’s energy to win. It’s mind-set. It’s charisma...a non-threatening approach that in many ways builds on the principles laid out long ago in Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends & Influence People.” So find yourself a comfortable chair. Pour yourself a cup of coffee. Sit back, relax. By the way, don’t go looking for charts, graphs, or boring stats. You won’t find any psychobabble here. Mayer drives home his eye-opening lessons in a light, humorous, page-turning read filled with personal and celebrity anecdotes and riveting tidbits. Talk show host Larry King calls Bob “a lawyer’s lawyer.” Robert Mayer conducts negotiation, mediation, and persuasion seminars and workshops for M.B.A. students, lawyers and law school students, professional associations and businesses
