This September, we’re asking you to recognize the people in your own lives who have exemplified their spirit – people like principals who have taken principled stands for their students and teachers, business owners who have chosen to do what is right for their communities rather than what is easy, and friends and neighbors who have stood up for others when no one else would.įill out the form below to tell us about them, and we might feature their story on our Facebook or Twitter. President Kennedy once defined political courage by these terms: “In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience – the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men – each man must decide for himself the course he will follow.“ JFK Profiles in Courage, Harper & Brothers: New York: 1956, signed John Kennedy by the President upon the front free endpaper in black ink. The Profile in Courage Award recognizes one act of political courage, but there are many more that go unrecognized in American communities each year. Our collective hunger is so intense it rends us. We live in a culture where emotionally starved, deprived females are desperately seeking male love. If she is heterosexual she wants the love of a male partner. Whether gay or straight, bisexual or celibate, she wants to feel the love of father, grandfather, uncle, brother, or male friend. Every woman wants to love and be loved by the males in her life. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.Įvery female wants to be loved by a male. A brave and astonishing work, The Will to Change is designed to help men reclaim the best part of themselves. She believes men can find the way to spiritual unity by getting back in touch with the emotionally open part of themselves - and lay claim to the rich and rewarding inner lives that have historically been the exclusive province of women. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. In The Will to Change, bell hooks gets to the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they are - whatever their age, marital status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways that patriarchal culture keeps them from knowing themselves, from being in touch with their feelings, from loving. Everyone needs to love and be loved - even men. 6/7/2023 0 Comments Book well met“What a delight! This is enemies to lovers at its absolute finest, folks.
