Children and Teens Department Favorites 1 2016 Children and Teens Department Favorites 1 PICTURE BOOKS A bucolic farm transforms into a lively construction site in Old MacDonald Had a Truck (Chronicle, $16.99), author Steve Goetz’s playful take on the traditional children’s song. The book jubilantly introduces young building aficionados to excavators, bulldozers, and graders, pairing machinery with lively language that invites children to participate in the telling. As Old MacDonald directs the construction, Mrs. MacDonald labors on a separate project: transforming an old farm pickup into a gleaming monster truck. Perfectly accompanied by Eda Kaban’s exuberant illustrations, this celebration of all things construction is sure to inspire young engineers! Ages 2-5. Amy Dickinson King Jack and the Dragon (2011) introduced us to the charming young Jack and his comrades. Now they are back for a second adventure, this time as Captain Jack and the Pirates (Dial, $17.99). “Jack, Zack and Caspar, brave mariners three, were building a galleon down by the sea”: Thus starts the fanciful, rhyming story that begs to be read out loud to young ones. Join the three young buccaneers on their imaginative voyage, which includes cannons, enemy pirates, and—of course— treasure. Renowned children’s illustrator Helen Oxenbury delights with her trademark watercolors that harmonize beautifully with Peter Bently’s lively text. Ages 3-6. Kerri Poore As the night sky darkens, a cage door opens and a curious monkey emerges to explore The Opposite Zoo (Knopf, $16.99). The monkey sees a wide-awake owl and a sleeping panda, black seals and white swans, a slow sloth and a fast cheetah, and more. When the sun brightens the sky, the monkey’s door closes just in time for the zoo to open. Il Sung Na’s simple language and energetic, textured illustrations provide charming descriptions of an abundance of lovable animals as they jaunt across each double-page spread of this vivacious book.

A. T. P1, Sakkeel. K. P2 ABSTRACT: Lying is a part of communication and a form of social behavior which is involved in interacting with others. Lying means saying a statement that he/she knows themselves as false to others to whom he/she want to perceive it as true. It can be explained by different psychological principles of psychodynamic theory, humanistic theory, behavior theory etc. Lying arises from hedonistic nature of humans that to avoid pain and to increase pleasure. It can be also seen that we lies not only for personal gains but also for others gain too. That is to avoid harm affecting ourselves and to avoid hurting others. Lying can be accepted if it saves someone’s life-ourselves or of others. Keywords: Psychological factors, Lie INTRODUCTION: Lying is a form of deceiving others verbally. It is a part of our behavioral response in communicating with others. It has long been a part of everyday life. We can't get through even a single day without telling lies. It is a consistent feature of human social behavior. We are not aware of all the lies we tell. We people lie most the time in our daily life, afraid of other people finding out the truth about us. We lie mostly to our parents, partners, friends, supervisors and so on to whomever else with whom we interact.

  • Louise Bourgeois Brochure
    LOUISE BOURGEOIS American, French born (1911 - 2010) The Blind Leading The Blind 1947 - 49, painted wood 70⅜ × 96⅞ × 17⅜ in. Regents Collections Acquisition Program with Match- ing Funds from the Jerome L. Greene, Agnes Gund, Sydney and Frances Lewis, and Leonard C. Yaseen Purchase Fund, 1989 Living in New York during the mid 1940s, when World War II cut her off from friends and family in France, Louise Bourgeois created vertical wood sculptures that she exhibited as loosely grouped, solitary figures. These objects represented sorely missed people and her own loneliness and isolation in America. In 1948, Bourgeois made the first of five variations of The Blind Leading The Blind as pairs of legs which, unable to stand alone, were bound together for strength by lintel like boards. The figures appear to walk tentatively on tiptoe under the boards, the weight of which presses down on the individual pairs even as it holds them togeth- er as an uneasy collective. One of the artist’s most abstract works, this sculpture takes on an anthropomorphic presence by resting directly on the floor and sharing the viewer’s space. In 1949, after being called before the House Un-American Activities Commit- tee, Bourgeois named the series The Blind Leading the Blind. The title paraphras- es Jesus’s description of the hypocritical Pharisees and scribes (Matthew 15:14): “Let them alone, they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” Exposing the folly of untested belief, unscrutinized ritual, and regimented thinking, the parable has been used as a subject by other artists.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Real Lies, White Lies and Gray Lies: Towards a Typology of Deception Erin Bryant Despite its aversive label, deception is an extremely common social behavior that the average person performs on a daily basis (Camden, Motley, & Wilson, 1984; DePaulo, Kashy, Kirkendol, Wyer, & Epstein, 1996; Turner, Edgley, & Omstead, 1975). In fact, the use of white lies is so widespread they are often viewed as a form of communication competency that is necessary to successfully negotiate social interactions (Camden et al, 1984; Di Battista, 1994; Knapp & Comedena, 1975; Knapp, Hart, & Dennis, 1974). This study aimed to explore how college students perceive white lies and differentiate them from other types of lies using in-depth interview and focus group data. Participants' evaluations of deception indicate three main types of lies: real lies, white lies, and gray lies.

  • Ally Advocacy, Identity Reconfiguration, and Political Change
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: “THE FIGHT IS YOURS”: ALLY ADVOCACY, IDENTITY RECONFIGURATION, AND POLITICAL CHANGE William Howell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2020 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Trevor Parry-Giles, Department of Communication Since at least 1990, scholars and activists have used the term “ally” to describe and theorize a distinct sociopolitical role: someone from a majority identity group working to end that group’s oppression of another identity group. While the term is recent, “allies” are present throughout America’s constant struggle to actualize equality and justice. The identity-rooted ideologies that empowered allies disempowered the groups for and with whom they sought justice and equality. But those empowering identities were pieces, more or less salient, of complex intersectional people. Given the shared nature of identity, this process also necessarily pitted allies against those with whom they shared an identity. In this project, I ask two questions about past ally advocacy—questions that are often asked about contemporary ally advocacy. First, in moments of major civil rights reform, how did allies engage their own intersecting identities—especially those ideologically-charged identities with accrued power from generations of marginalizing and oppressing? Second, how did allies engage other identities that were not theirs—especially identities on whose oppression their privilege was built? In asking these two questions—about self-identity and others’ identity—I assemble numerous rhetorical fragments into “ally advocacy.” This bricolage is in recognition of rhetoric’s fragmentary nature, and in response to Michael Calvin McGee’s call to assemble texts for criticism. I intend to demonstrate that ally advocacy is such a text, manifesting (among other contexts) around the women’s suffrage amendment, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the marriage equality movement.
