Living on Death Row represents a 13-year ethnographic study of men awaiting their execution while confined on Ohio's Death Row (DR). Lose was granted unprecedented access to conduct confidential interviews in a supermax environment. Slowly he developed a mutual trust with the inmates, and they began to open up about their crimes, lives, hopes, fears and impending executions. Reading Death Row statistics can be a blasé experience to some, upsetting to others. But nothing compares to confronting the rampant injustices, horrendous misconceptions and lies about the culture of Death Row. A few are

Based on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's. beliefs about the essential nature of economic opportunity and written in response to questions posed in King's final book, a 21st-century interpretation of the Civil Rights leader's economic vision analyzes 12 currencies while outlining strategic steps for realizing one's full potential and personal power

The purpose of this research paper is to study the mockery of the current political set up of the country as depicted in the play Damn You Fate (Hatt Teri Kismat). Vijay Tendulkar's plays diagnose the contemporary socio-political reality with unflinching integrity. Damn You Fate is a ruthless defiance against the dirty power games. In this play the characters are type characters representing a certain class. That's why they have not been named. They have been given algebraical identification, simply 'A' & 'B' and a crowd of unspecified people. 'A' & 'B' represent two classes, the submissive lower class and the calculating shrewd politicians. This story has two characters; a corrupted chief minister and a common man. The two meet incidentally and start discussing their personalities. The climax of the story occurs when the corrupted chief minister finds an angry mob approaching him in order to kill him. Fearing for his life the frightened chief minister decides to swap clothes with the common man to save himself from the mob. Unfortunately, whilst swapping clothes their faces also get changed. The story, filled with succeeding surprises and twists, continues hereafter. These characters are not entangled in any extra ordinary contexts or situations but explore the realities of life around us, as they are inevitably settled in contemporary social and political environment.

Abstract
Examining the beliefs in the fashion industry surrounding the obese is critical to understanding discrimination issues and the resultant fit and sizing issues for plus-size consumers. The fashion industry offers certain styles in limited sizing, which in turn structures our society in such a way that only certain sizes can participate in choosing and wearing fashionable clothing. Therefore, the need to examine the people's beliefs who will work in this industry is critical to restructuring the sizing, fit and discriminatory issues experienced by fat consumers. Understanding these beliefs among student designers, or the 'gatekeepers' of the fashion industry, may explain why plus-size women repeatedly report feeling discriminated against by the fashion industry and have difficulty finding clothing in styles, colours and fits they desire. The results of the study indicate that fashion design and merchandising students have strong negative beliefs about obese people. This article investigates the reasoning for such disdain towards obese bodies in the fashion industry and hopes to rectify the situation by offering suggestions to normalize fat bodies and incorporate information about plus-size consumers into fashion design and apparel merchandising courses.

AbstractThe article discusses the tensions regarding the challenge to balance agriculture with a proposed coal seam gas mine in Narrabri, a regional centre in New South Wales, Australia, which revolved around notions of youth and 'the future'. 'Youth' as a symbolic category were positioned at the heart of the issues associated with land‐use in the region on both sides of the debate. Young people were described throughout the study as an abstract symbol of 'the future'. How exactly 'the future' was related to youth as a symbolic category depended largely on participants' perspectives on the proposed Coal Seam Gas (CSG) mining project. For those who supported the CSG project, the figure of youth signified hope of economic invigoration. For those who opposed the CSG project, the loss of landscape for future generations of youth was a key concern due the potential irreversible environmental impacts associated with the extractive industry in the area. We argue 'youth' becomes a 'figure' imbued with the region's affective anxieties surrounding land‐use change. The concept of affect is developed to aid understanding of the collective and embodied dynamics at play in the differing perspectives on CSG extraction and its impact for the future of Narrabri.

AbstractAn objection to shifty epistemologies such as subject-sensitive invariantism is that it predicts that agents are susceptible to guaranteed losses. Bob Beddor (Analysis, 81, 193–198, 2021) argues that these guaranteed losses are not a symptom of irrationality, on the grounds that forgetful agents are susceptible to guaranteed losses without being irrational. I agree that forgetful agents are susceptible to guaranteed losses without being irrational– but when we investigate why, the analogy with shifty epistemology breaks down. I argue that agents with shifty epistemologies are susceptible to guaranteed losses in a way which is a symptom of irrationality. Along the way I make a suggestion about what it takes for an agent to be coherent over time. I close by offering a taxonomy of shifty epistemologies.
