This updated edition of Breaking the Culture of Bullying and Disrespect offers a comprehensive approach to discouraging misbehavior by establishing an environment of responsibility and respect.

Over the last decade, Axel Honneth has established himself as one of the leading social and political philosophers in the world today. Rooted in the tradition of critical theory, his writings have been central to the revitalization of critical theory and have become increasingly influential. His theory of recognition has gained worldwide attention and is seen by some as the principal counterpart to Habermass theory of discourse ethics.

In this important new volume, Honneth pursues his path-breaking work on recognition by exploring the moral experiences of disrespect that underpin the conduct of social and political critique. What we might conceive of as a striving for social recognition initially appears in a negative form as the experience of humiliation or disrespect. Honneth argues that disrespect constitutes the systematic key to a comprehensive theory of recognition that seeks to clarify the sense in which institutionalized patterns of social recognition generate justified demands on the way subjects treat each other.

This new book by one of the leading social and political philosophers of our time will be of particular interest to students and scholars in social and political theory and philosophy.

Chosen by the National Bullying Prevention Campaign for inclusion in their Bullying Prevention Resources Kit, this book provides a comprehensive approach to a vast array of behavior-related problems.

In Illegitimacy, Inefficiency, and Disrespect: A Call for Reforming the Causes of Action for Misuse of Legal Process, Robert B. Shepherd, Jr. throughly examines the misuse of process common law torts and compares their effectivness to alternative methods states could adopt to curb frivolous litigation. Shepherd argues that frivolous lawsuitsvastly undermine the authority and legitimacy of the courts and the legal profession and argues that common law tort claims do little to mitigate this damage. Instead, jurisdictions must proceed primarily against the attorneys who represent plaintiffs in these frivolous cases. Shepherd presents two methods of doing so- one which utilizes judicial sanctions and another the bar ethics committees- and addresses the pros and cons of each approach.

Synopsis: Every book is supposed to have a beginning, middle and end. This book is all end. It’s a book on death trivia.

If you’re the kind of person who giggles at funerals, put this book down. It’s not for you.

If you’re the kind of person who makes other people giggle at funerals, welcome! kindred spirit. Read on! (And then buy the damned thing.)

The book is divided into chapters which cover, among other subjects, death statistics, creative ways of dying, suicide, (oooohh . . . there’s a fun chapter!) and the funeral biz itself of caskets, tombstones and cremation. Lastly: must we really die? Well, considering most of the punch lines in this book do, then why not us as well?

A note of caution so my lawyer will think I’m covering my ass: Everything I’ve written here I’ve seen in print, somewhere, but I use a lot of questionably reliable sources, so have fun, but don’t write any senior theses, or use it as evidence in court, OK?

The author is represented by the notorious East Apache Junction Arizona law firm of Thwing, Lowe, Sweet, Cherry, Ott, Cummin, Fortner, Kary, Meade and Holme, so don’t try anything funny.


Author bio: Lee Hazelle was in radio 20 years, five writing material for his fellow announcers who have all been downsized by now and are trying to sneak into Mexico to get a job with General Motors. The material in the books he writes comes from his radio days, so it’s pretty well dated. But then, funny is funny, right? I mean, Benny Youngman and Jack Henny still get laughs, don't they?

How and when do respect and disrespect develop in childhood or adolescence? Respect enables children and teenagers to value other people, institutions, traditions, and themselves. Disrespect is the agent that dissolves positive relationships and fosters hostile and cynical relationships. Unfortunately, parents, educators, children, and adolescents in many societies note with alarm a growing problem of disrespect and a decline in respect for self and others. Is this disturbing trend a worldwide problem? To answer this question, we must begin to study the developmental and cultural origins of respect and disrespect.

Five research teams report that respect and disrespect are influenced by experiences in the family, school, community, and, most importantly, the broader cultural setting. The chapters introduce a new topic area for mainstream developmental sciences that is relevant to the interests of scholars, educators, practitioners, and policymakers.

"The Disrespect Agenda" is a plea for the kind of clear thinking and for the love of liberty that typified the rise of Britain in the Hanoverian period. Lincoln Allison argues that the constant harping on about 'respect' in the contemporary world - by governments, gangsters and 'community' leaders - is the tip of an iceberg of confusion and moral weakness. Free and responsible human beings should not crave respect, and should bestow it only cautiously, after stringent tests and never as a matter of right. The author suggests an agenda of targets for sceptical disrespect, including artists, educationalists, humanists and politicians.
