Since the end of colonization Africa has struggled with socio-economic and political problems. These challanges have attracted wealthy donors from Western nations and organizations that have assumed the roles of helper and deliverer. While some donors have good intentions, others seek to impose their ideology of sexual liberation. These are the ideological neocolonial masters of the twenty-first century who aggressively push their agenda of radical feminism, population control, sexualisation of children, and homosexuality. The author, a native of Nigeria, shows how these donors are masterful at exploiting some of the heaviest burdens and afflictions of Africa such as maternal mortality,unplanned pregnancies, HIV/AIDS pandemic, child marriage,and persistent poverty. This exploitation has put many African nations in the vulnerable position of receiving funding tied firmly to ideological solutions that are opposed tothe cultural views and values of their people. Thus many African nations are put back into the protectorate positionsof dependency as new cultural standards conceived in the West are made into core policies in African capitals. This book reveals the recolonization of Africa that is rarely talked about. Drawing from a broad array of well-sourced materials and documents, it tells the story of foreign aid with strings attached, the story of Africa targeted and recolonized by wealthy, powerful donors.
Donedávna žiadna spoločnosť nevnímala manželstvo inak než ako zväzok muža a ženy. Kniha „Čo je to manželstvo?” identifikuje a obhajuje dôvody tohto historického konsenzu a ukazuje, prečo je predefinovanie civilného manželstva nepotrebné, nerozumné a v rozpore so spoločným dobrom.
Until yesterday, no society had seen marriage as anything other than a conjugal partnership: a male-female union. What Is Marriage? identifies and defends the reasons for this historic consensus and shows why redefining civil marriage is unnecessary, unreasonable, and contrary to the common good
Bioetika, poměrně mladá interdisciplinární vědní disciplína, se bouřlivě rozvíjí a stává se předmětem nejen odborné, ale také široké společenské diskuze. Jedno ze zásadních témat bioetiky představuje problém morálního statusu lidských embryí a z něj derivujících práv a povinností. Autoři se pokoušejí srozumitelnou formou přiblížit čtenáři současný stav diskuze a zároveň promyšlenými argumenty podpořit stále více populární bioetické stanovisko: lidská embrya jsou od samého počátku své existence individuálními organismy lidského druhu, představují lidské osoby, kterým jakožto takovým náleží základní lidská práva, mezi něž náleží rovněž právo na život. Z toho autoři rovněž vyvozují příslušné povinnosti ze strany společnosti a předkládají praktické návrhy pro regulaci embryo-destruktivního výzkumu.
