The results indicate that the youngest men and women reported more Lapses, Ordinary violations, and Aggressive violations than the oldest men and women. The participants were habitual drivers, 538 (54.3%) men and 453 (45.7%) women, with a mean age around 45 years and mainly of middle socioeconomic status. The present study was planned to study the relationships between age, personality (according to Zuckerman’s and Gray’s psychobiological models) and decision-making styles in relation to risky driving behaviors. 5Deparment of Biological Psychology and Health, Autonomous University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain.4Deparment of Psychology, European University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain. ![]() 3Department of Psychobiology and Methodology of Health Sciences, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.2Lleida Institute for Biomedical Research, Dr.1Deparment of Psychology, University of Lleida, Lleida, Spain.Anton Aluja 1,2 * †, Ferran Balada 2,3, Oscar García 2,4 † and Luis F. ![]() ![]() Beyond the Battlefield: War Books That Offer Life Lessons and Hopeīooks offer an excellent entryway into this conversation. In this post, I reflect on these questions based on my personal experience as a parent and my child’s exposure to literature about war, drawing on 25 books from our home library featured below. ![]() This leaves us wondering if we should leave such conversations to their educators instead. Additionally, we may worry about how such books could impact our children, especially if they depict the horrors of war. To help children navigate and process such difficult themes, I believe it is best to start conversations at home.Īs parents, we often grapple with the question of whether we should introduce books about war to young children, and if so, at what age. It can be very confusing for growing minds to make sense of it all.

The stories collected in the volumne are perhaps worth more than the essays. I already knew that and still some of those illustrations. (This essay appeared inĭon't Bet on the Prince Contemporary Feminist Fairy Tales in North America and England). He does a good job of making the reader think twice about many of the illustrations. His second essay concerns how LRH is shown in the illustrations of the books. He shows what that says about our culture, noting when the blame for the "rape" shifts to the victim. He agrues that the tale moved from one of ritual to one about rape. The first examines the literary history of the tales, tracing the changes made to it and putting forth theories why those changes were made. ![]() Additionally, Zipes has collected several different versions of the tale, the earlies one from 1697 and the latest being from 1990. ![]() In this book, Jack Zipes examines the history of tale, showing how it progessed from a story about a smart girl to a story about a foolish girl who may have had it coming.

Helen Keller, one of the outstanding figures of the 20th century, so completely transcended the double limitations of blindness and deafness that she is often referred to as the “First Lady of Courage.” Her story, however, though widely known, is usually told with little reference to the deep spirituality that illumined her dark and silent world.

We didn’t have the term PTSD officially until its inclusion in the 1980 3rd edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Of course, he didn’t write it in those terms. Obviously I haven’t read every book ever but I think Wells was among the earliest to write about the effects of trauma on the human psyche. Wells tackled an absolute shitload of themes in this little story including medical ethics, the superiority of humanity, evolution, identity, and religion. Prendick learns that the strange creatures he sees are a result of Moreau’s twisted experiments to turn animals into thinking creatures, or into hybrids with other unrelated species.
