This book studies gender differences in language used in the 113th United States Congress (January 2013-January 2015). The corpus was composed of all uninterrupted speeches of 100 words or more, which amounted to 672 speeches by the female and 2,983 by the male politicians. The speeches were analysed to determine language categories used by the politicians, including word count, grammatical categories, different topics, and punctuation categories, to study the differences in language use by the male and the female politicians. They were also used in examining some intragroup differences and correlations between variables. Several major gender differences emerged. The female politicians were shown to be more formal, critical and task-focused, while the male politicians were more socially oriented and elaborative, occupying the floor more than the female politicians. While the female politicians worked on establishing themselves as independent politicians, the male politicians embraced their collective identities. Also, the female politicians focused on raising the awareness of different health issues and providing support for patients and their families, the male politicians focused on the consequences and possible solutions to the problems.The analysis includes implications for political discourse, and gender disparities within that discourse, and will be of interest to researchers in both politics and political science, and in gender and diversity.
Ethics is understood as a social practice developed by human beings through their living together as members of actual communities. Implicit in communal membership is a mutual commitment to pursue one's good within common and binding rules. Whereas individualism holds that the rights and duties of human beings arise from their inherent worth as individuals, communitarianism says that our rights and duties arise from participation in the ethical entity that is created through communal bonds.The book derives from this ethical idea, some basic substantive norms that are valid for every political community. Secondly, it applies the ethical idea to some fundamental variations in communal forms but focuses especially on modern industrial economies and their appropriate political superstructures.The third part of the book discusses attempts to create a global ethical community in the form of a community of states that treat each other and each other's members as ethical ends, despite disagreements over the actual rights that they accord to their members.The key audience for the book is researchers and students in the fields of ethics, political philosophy/theory, social philosophy, legal philosophy, and history of political thought.
This book examines the role and the opportunity for EDI advancement as a requisite in medicine and healthcare, particularly in the context of the professional landscape as this directly affects care delivery. It argues that physicians lacking the awareness and skills necessary to engage in an EDI-informed manner with members of their professional setting and patients cannot effectively deliver care. It also argues that physicians and other clinicians benignly unaware of their privilege cannot effectively deliver care. The book takes a multifaceted approach to EDI in medicine including the exploration of the physician experience of being othered within the profession. The goal is to engage readers in a more inclusive practice --
Cultivating a sustainable mindset in finance looks at the important role that the financial sector could play in closing the climate financing gap. The financial sector's allocation of capital to climate financing remains extremely low as a proportion of the trillions of investment dollars available. A raft of explanations are often put forward that describe the external barriers to investment, including lack of information and standardised definitions, inconsistent government policies, liquidity contraints, pricing and deal sourcing. In comparison, the internal barriers to investment are often overlooked, such as not connecting investment beliefs with a broader sense of purpose, feeling uncomforable with complexity, conforming to peer group norms, failure to reflect on personal agency, fragmented organisational culture, tension between short and long-term goals, and a fear of failure. To help redress and further unpack some of these internal barriers, a Sustainability Mindset framework is applied to the finance sector. It suggests that a modest shift in investors' mindsets could help to accelerate the financial flow into climate financing, with some practical suggestions provided to help achieve that shift.

"An excellent haiku beginner's book with a large selection of original verse, fully illustrated throughout.">"A fascinating publication, unique in its kind."(Graham Wade, Author and Musician, East Yorkshire, UK) For a 'Beginner', says the author, composing and writing Haiku or Senryu verses, in English, can prove to be a most enjoyable, rewarding - and challenging - endeavour. For those who have become intrigued by this ancient yet so 'mindfully poetic' Japanese short-form verses, the author believes this comprehensive introduction will prove the helping hand that anyone can assimilate, and begin writing their first verses in English. Its opening 'essay' and following Guidelines are accompanied by hundreds of the author's original English verses - in the traditional 5-7-5 syllable 'three-liners'. Rather than display haiku and senryu as one inter-mixed offering, the book is sectioned under 'titles' - Haiku and Seasons, Everyday Senryu, Philosophy and Psychology, and Spirit. Finally, a section of Potpourri verses - with its own 'challenge' for the beginner. He encourages the beginner with 'Try and succeed is to be your aim, your intent, your desire' adding that 'A little talent goes a long way - and you all have that'.
