Offering a particular world view, understanding of economics,
popular trademarks, and ways of consumption, modernity compels
modern and isolating sorts of relationship that ostracises the
family from its territories as it is the most strongest station of
resistance to so called virtues of modernity. In short, modernism
simply tears the family to shreds as masses of people that have
emigrated to metropolises and undergone economic woes are now fully
imprisoned by the concepts of the nuclear family, that is a mere
euphemism of family lost, and a tendency of a life lead independent
from the family. This collection of articles that have been
published afore in The Fountain Magazine seeks reasonable answers
to the vital question of how a new ideal of family could be
constructed without passing over the spirit of time, be it called
as modern or post-modern times. The articles handle the essential
issues of the family and do not neglect the vitality of upbringing
the fruits of it, who are mostly called the generation of internet
or the age of technology.
The parenting classic that inspired Mean Girls, now fully revised and updated with new material on gender expression, cancel culture, social media, and bullying based on feedback from today’s teenagers
More than twenty years ago, Queen Bees and Wannabes let parents inside the secret world of their adolescent daughters’ female relationships, giving us a new vocabulary for these fickle social dynamics as well as invaluable strategies for helping our daughters navigate them. Since then, nationally recognized thought leader and speaker Rosalind Wiseman has interviewed and listened to thousands of girls talk about the powerful role cliques play in shaping what they wear and say, how they respond to boys, and how they feel about themselves.
This fully revised and greatly updated edition of this parenting classic now reflects the pressures unique to today’s girls—including the role that social media and gender as a spectrum play in adolescent life. With input and stories from dozens of girls experiencing these dynamics today, Wiseman takes readers into “Girl World” to analyze teasing, gossip, and reputations; beauty and fashion; alcohol and drugs; boys and sex; and more, plus how cliques play a role in every situation.
Full of sample scripts, strategies, and pointed advice, this book will equip adults with all the tools needed to build the right foundation to help a young woman make smarter choices and empower her during this baffling, tumultuous time of life.
