This chapter shows that many young women are as ambitious for career success as men in the early stages of their career. However, young women quickly lose faith that success will be achievable. Several reasons are given for this, including the effect on careers of parenthood, issues with self-confidence and lack of fit with the dominant culture of the workplace. The research illustrates that these mothers often acted as career mentors by talking through their daughters' experiences at work, helping them to acquire useful skills, and therefore bolstering their daughters' confidence. The daughters characterised their mothers' careers as successful. However, the daughters also described this success as a by-product of hard work and work done well. This is indicative of the finding that the mothers in this study tended to underplay or not talk at all about their career successes.

This chapter exposes the deep cracks in narratives of social media leisure and amateurism. It looks at how forms of value-generating, gendered self-expression are rife in the social media world through blogs, vlogs, Instagram, and more. Though these activities are superficially framed as amusement and sociality, this chapter contends that many young women do not produce and promote content just for the fun of it. Rather, they approach social media creation with strategy, purpose, and aspirations of career success. Hence, this chapter explores some of the most salient conditions and features of aspirational labor: narratives of creative expression, relationship-building in online and offline contexts, and modes of individualized self-expression that both reveal and conceal normative feminine consumer behavior.

Strict Diet

The hegemonic diet culture has recently become ruled out due to its painful methods of losing weight and its bad side effect for health. However, it is hardly denied that many women still put their body weight as a big matter due to the perpetuated portrayal of slim female figures throughout visual media. This article contains a discourse analysis of the Instagram page Diet Starts Tomorrow (@dietstartstomorrow), a humor-branded page reflecting upon female’s daily life that tends to involve diet culture in it throughout textual jokes. Data obtained from numbers of humorous text contain self-criticism, rejection, and circumvention of so-called healthy lifestyle written and posted by mostly female speakers. Through Gramscian lens, it is explored that self deprecating humor articulates young women’s resistance towards the hegemonic diet culture. Self deprecation primarily serves as a comfort space for young women, boosts self-confidence, and creates mutual understanding between audience through unveiling their emotional vulnerability. The results of the study refer to the humorous self-deprecatory text as a critique towards strict diet methods and beauty standards, for example by not judging female who keep consuming junk food or large portions of food. The research suggests further examination on how language is utilized to empower fat movement within the society of both gender.

The Moment

Examination of the child combines science with art; developing competence in paediatric examination requires both knowledge of the correct technique and hours of hard work and practise. Lack of either will make the examination technique incomplete or inadequate. Perhaps the greatest difficulty an inexperienced doctor faces is to gain the confidence and trust of the child and their carers, while creating an impression of grounded self-confidence. In the examination, one should carry oneself well. This means you should be a good listener, be interested, cheerful, respectful, warm, caring, friendly, empathic, competent, and diplomatic. It is imperative to listen actively to the child and their carers and be as natural as possible—just as you would be with your friend’s child or indeed your own. The examination begins the moment you enter the room. It is essential to understand that the general approach to the physical examination of the child will be different from that of an adult and will vary according to the age of the child. As the child’s cooperation cannot be guarantied, you should remember that it is impossible always to use a set protocol while examining the child. We have listed the essential steps of examination in a particular order so that all areas are covered, but the candidate needs to adapt the examination sequence according to the needs of the child and the situation. As a general rule, anything that will inevitably be uncomfortable or unpleasant for the child (e.g. otoscopy or rectal examination) should be the ‘last act’ of the examination. A common mistake made by nervous candidates is to talk too fast; this is a trait that will always be more exaggerated under the stress of the exam. Pausing at the end of each sentence is an effective way of slowing down. Ensuring that each word is pronounced completely will also lessen the pace of your speech. Talking slowly and clearly with a smile on your face will help to hide nervousness. In this book and the accompanying videos, examinations are performed in a systematic manner. These steps provide a useful framework. Although there can be some flexibility, following the steps listed here will improve your technique.

Thousands of words have been written on “strains within NATO” and the “conflicts of interest” which attend any international organization. For several years—almost from its inception—various prognoses have been made as to how soon NATO or its subordinate agencies would fly apart from the centrifugal forces of diverging self-interest. As early as 1953 General Gruenther warned that with the recovery of self-confidence, the cohesive glue of fear would have less effect. Yet, as Secretary Dulles stated last spring at Copenhagen, we are often inclined to ignore the successes of NATO and to concentrate on its problems.

Safe spaces have the potential to become prefigurative groups that aim to create social change. The idea of a safe space as a place separate and sheltered from dominant culture to mobilize for social change has gained traction in a number of academic and practical areas. However, safe spaces have the ability to be both progressive and regressive. To guide our discussion we utilize the concept of community-diversity dialectic to address the tension between these forces within two settings. First we discuss research in an upper level college course rooted in feminist praxis. Then we discuss a faith community’s use of adaptive liturgy with parishioners with intellectual disabilities. Following this discussion, we offer a new term, “critical collective spaces”, to better capture the work done in these spaces. We offer this alternative label to move popular and academic discourse away from debating about how “safe” these spaces are (or are not) and toward a more nuanced discussion of the community-diversity dialectic and other tensions within these spaces. Our overall intention is to generate dialogue on the regressive and progressive aspects of these locations and to inform the activism and community building process within prefigurative politics more broadly.
