Random Thoughts on Race, Crime, and Human Resilience
2008-03-22 17:09:00 I'm currently working on a project on memory and South African exiles. I was reading Lewis Nkosi's Home and Exile and other Selections when I came across a passage that sat with me. It's in the essay "Apartheid: A Daily Exercise in the Absurd". After describing some of the odd, horrible and certainly absurd things that went on in Apartheid South Africa (like the court wrangling over such questions as at what point does a kiss become passionate enough to convict someone of interracial sex) he wrote:One could go on, of course, recounting the morbid aspects of apartheid, but it all sounds so hopelessly melodramatic that the total effect is to undermine people's credulity. Sometimes, people wonder after reading about these conditions how the Africans are able to survive at all. One Englishman who attended a first night of a Johannesburg opera was surprised to find well-dressed Africans who looked reasonably happy, mingling with the white audience. From that he concluded that the sto...

Resilience Science Is Promising Approach To Marine Conservation
2008-02-29 06:05:00 Ocean ecosystems are increasingly threatened by overfishing, pollution, habitat loss, climate change and coastal development. Understanding why some ecosystems resist these shocks, and continue to deliver benefits such as plentiful fish and pristine beaches, and how others collapse is the subject of resilience science.Resilience Science Is Promising Approach To Marine ConservationBrown University marine conservation scientist Heather Leslie has explained how the fast-growing field of resilience science can produce more effective ocean protection policies at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.*Resilience science is the study of how ecosystems resist and respond to disturbances, both natural and man-made. This increasingly influential area of environmental science is affecting marine conservation efforts from the Gulf of Maine to the Great Barrier Reef.Ocean ecosystems are increasingly threatened by overfishing, pollution, habitat loss, clima...

resilience
2007-09-22 10:41:00 Our first day in Akkarai introduced us to a lifeline: Christine at the Ayur Grammam massage spa. After seeing my camera slung over my shoulder she gasped and knew right away who I had to take a picture of. Within minutes we were all on a rickshaw to her place to visit her housekeepers' mother. Christine told her that a photographer had arrived to take pictures of her for her wedding day, and they dressed her up in her finest saree as she beamed with pride. I like this picture because it shows the grace that she exhibited in such a fragile state.

Senator Roche on the Need for Resilience on the Path to a Nuclear Weapon Fr
2007-09-12 22:07:00 This weekend, former Canadian Senator Douglas Roche, OC, who advises the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations on issues related to nuclear disarmament, made a stand out presentation to a conference co-hosted by the Toda Institute for Global Peace and Policy Research and the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.He encouraged listeners to recover the absolute horror of the subject of the use of nuclear weapons and to awaken to the fact that half of the world?s population lives in a nuclear weapon state and that $12 trillion has been spent on nuclear weapons. He called for new resilience in response to nuclear dangers, observing a paradox of momentum and indifference with regard to these dangers, emphasizing that ?by adopting a resilient attitude we can withstand the power politics that force nuclear weapons upon us.? Recalling the Hibakushas? warning that ?no one else should suffer as we did,? he held out hope that an emerging global consciousness would subvert t...

Prescription for Resilience
2007-01-20 04:10:00 Ever wondered why some people survive a major stress or trauma better than others? There really is no magic. People who in general have healthy lifestyles and attitudes survive trauma better than others. People who in particular have unhealthy attitudes about stress, themselves and life in general are much more likely to suffer stress related symptoms. Here are a list of ten traits of healthy POWs from the Vietnam War. This information is not just for soldiers, it's for all of us. Psychiatry News Charney and Steven Southwick, M.D., a professor of psychiatry at Yale University, identified personality traits associated with resilience in 250 American POWs during the Vietnam War who were held captive for up to eight years and subjected to torture and solitary confinement. Remarkably, years after their release, they had a lower-than-expected incidence of depression and PTSD. To determine how these men, mostly pilots, handled such a dire experience yet in many cases came out stronge...

Resilience - The Path to Success
2006-10-22 21:15:00 I have been blessed to work with all sorts of successful leaders. This past week I was working with academic leaders from across the United States using one of the many leadership assessments I often administer. The profile of this group was nothing special... they had their strengths and weaknesses as all groups do! It wasn't until afterward that I got to thinking in a broader sense and realized that this group had something in common with other exceptional leaders I have worked with in the past 2 years. Almost all of them scored very high in resilience = The ability to recover from a disappointment or failure! WOW.. You rarely read this in the best selling leadership books.. but I believe it may be one of the most critical skills a leader needs. Think about it.. here are some things go remember as you do:1) Trial and Error is one the world's best learning methods!2) Some of the best leaders failed first, but recovered to be very successful.3) Much of who we are...

Post-traumatic stress disorder, resilience and vulnerability
1970-01-01 00:59:00 Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), recognised as a diagnostic entity in 1980, was originally associated with combat or war experiences. It has since been recognised that it is prevalent in any population exposed to traumatic events. Although much has been written about the management of PTSD, the concepts of resilience and vulnerability have not received the same attention. This article reviews the conceptualisation, epidemiology and comorbidities of PTSD and highlights the factors underlying vulnerability and conveying resilience. In the current geopolitical climate, political and social instabilities as well as natural and man-made calamities have been on the increase. Civil wars often result in atrocities, violence, forced migration and mass fatalities. Exposure to such events can lead to psychological strain and pathology. This pathology includes acute stress reaction, adjustment disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Of these, PTSD is associated with the high... |
