Free Download Richard A. O’Connor, "From Virtue to Vice: Negotiating Anorexia "
English | ISBN: 1782384553 | 2015 | 252 pages | PDF | 1379 KB
The recovered possess the key to overcoming anorexia. Although individual sufferers do not know how the affliction takes hold, piecing their stories together reveals two accidental afflictions. One is that activity disorders―dieting, exercising, healthy eating―start as virtuous practices, but become addictive obsessions. The other affliction is a developmental disorder, which also starts with the virtuous―those eager for challenge and change. But these overachievers who seek self-improvement get a distorted life instead. Knowing anorexia from inside, the recovered offer two watchwords on helping those who suffer. One is "negotiate," to encourage compromise, which can aid recovery where coercion fails. The other is "balance," for the ill to pursue mind-with-body activities to defuse mind-over-body battles.

In the mid-twentieth century, gay life flourished in American cities even as the state repression of queer communities reached its peak. Liquor investigators infiltrated and shut down gay-friendly bars. Plainclothes decoys enticed men in parks and clubs. Vice officers surveilled public bathrooms through peepholes and two-way mirrors.

Free Download Naval War College, "Urgent Fury: The Operational Leadership of Vice Admiral Joseph P. Metcalf, III"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1500731412 | EPUB | pages: 26 | 0.2 mb
Vice Admiral Joseph P. Metcalf, III commanded the largest American joint military operation since the Vietnam War on the small Caribbean island of Grenada in 1983. This work focuses on Metcalf’s operational leadership during Operation URGENT FURY. It begins by providing the readers an introduction to Metcalf’s life, his education and career, and the circumstances that led to Metcalf being named as the operational commander of Combined Joint Task Force 120. Examples follow from the planning and execution stages of the Grenada invasion illustrating Metcalf’s possession of the three theoretical requirements of successful operational leadership: certain personality traits (including wisdom, good judgment, and emotional balance), a present yet unobtrusive command style, and significant professional knowledge allowing for critical decision making. Discussion topics include Metcalf’s thirty-nine hours to prepare for the invasion, the decisions to bomb Fort Frederick and conduct a Marine amphibious assault at Grand Mal, Metcalf’s relationship with General Schwarzkopf, and the now-infamous media policy. This work concludes with lessons learned drawn from Metcalf’s operational leadership performance for current and future leaders including the Vice Admiral’s favorite: "When you are in command, COMMAND!"

Free Download Vice in Ancient Philosophy: Plato and Aristotle on Moral Ignorance and Corruption of Character
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009468030 | 74 Pages | PDF (True) | 1.5 MB
Ancient philosophers offer intriguing accounts of vice – virtue’s bad twin. This Element considers injustice and lawlessness in Plato and Aristotle. Starting with Socrates’ paradoxical claim that ‘tyrants and orators do just about nothing they want to do’ (Gorgias 466d-e), it examines discussions of moral ignorance and corruption of character in Plato’s Republic and Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics. Aristotle’s account of vice is indebted to Plato’s. But his claims have confounded critics. Why is the vicious agent full of regrets when he acts in accordance with his wish? To what extent is vice a form of moral ignorance? Why will the unjust man never get what he wants? These and other questions yield new insights into ancient Greek ethics and moral psychology, as well as surprising perspectives on contemporary debates.

Free Download Mary Beth McConahey, "The City and Sex: Private Vice and Public Scandal in the American Republic"
English | ISBN: 1498518281 | 2015 | 208 pages | EPUB | 977 KB
The City and Sex examines American political sex scandals at the national level. Studying these events over time with an emphasis on the evolving responses of both statesmen and citizens reveals the republic’s deteriorating moral health and illuminates the country’s dangerous tendency toward servitude. Using scandals as a window through which to glimpse our deterioration, the book identifies a trajectory of decline beginning in the twentieth century, by which Americans became less tutored in virtue, less spirited in citizenship, less agreed on questions of moral significance, and ultimately less dexterous in exercising the skills of self-government. It seeks to show that the freedom from virtue won through the collapse of moral standards has produced an American citizenry increasingly prone to the kind of dependence and enslavement Alexis de Tocqueville cautioned against in the 1830s.
