The Changing Role of the U.S. Military in Space

The Changing Role of the U.S. Military in Space

Daniel R. Gonzales

RAND
1999
pokkari
Growth in the technical capabilities of commercial and foreign space systems, potential exploitation of space by adversaries, increasing use of commercial space capabilities by U.S. forces, and continuing budget constraints are all changing the role of the U.S. military in space. The growth of commercial space markets, and the rapid privatization and increasing foreign ownership of commercial space assets, suggest that the Department of Defense must develop a long-term strategy to ensure adequate and secure access to commercial communications satellites and other commercial space resources. Space control will assume increasing importance in military operations, and space itself may become a theater of military operations. The United States should develop a long-term strategy to enable the U.S. military to deny space capabilities to potential adversaries. Such a strategy should rely on system or operational concepts that minimize collateral damage to commercial, civil, and third-party space assets and that do not violate existing arms control agreements or treaties. Space surveillance--the ability to precisely identify, track, and predict the position of objects in space --is an essential aspect of space control. Space control and changing space surveillance needs have implications for the Air Force as an institution.

Mental Illness: The Reality of the Spiritual Nature

Mental Illness: The Reality of the Spiritual Nature

Daniel R. Berger

Alethia International Publications
2016
nidottu
Two of the most pressing issues for any theory of mental illness to be established and accepted is to define the mind and to determine whether mankind consists of both spiritual and physical natures or exists merely as a material existence. Although many professionals argue that the brain is the most relevant topic of discussion in mental illness, the mind is the reason why the idea of mental illness exists. The mind, therefore, must first be defined and understood before the brain-dysfunction theory can be evaluated and potentially applied. But such a study poses a problem for science-driven approaches, since the mind cannot be observed and the scientific method can only be applied to effects of the mind - such as behavior and physical changes to the body. These are some of the issues discussed in this volume.Likewise, this book explores the history of the current construct of mental illness, which Emil Kraepelin created and which led to the Nazi Holocaust. This philosophy and system/paradigm/construct is still the foundational theory behind today's mental health system. It is not just the Holocaust, however, which exposes that this utilitarian system is broken: history consistently reveals that denying the spiritual nature of mankind results in horrific and barbaric treatment of humanity. Despite this fact, the denial of the spiritual nature or reducing it to the physical nature is one of the major tenets on which the current construct of mental illness rests.Further, though modern day psychiatrists claim that they are altruistic, one must question why empathy and care should matter if humanity is not spiritual/moral in nature. If we are only physical bi-products of evolution (materialism), then why do we have a moral system at all, and why do we seek to remedy any distress or impairment in a person's life? Why not simply allow evolution to run its course? To believe in the classic medical model - which is today's construct of mental illness - is to deny the spiritual nature of humanity. If we are to truly treat people's minds, we must consider the reality of the spiritual nature as well as how to approach and heal

Rethinking Depression: Not a Sickness Not a Sin

Rethinking Depression: Not a Sickness Not a Sin

Daniel R. Berger

Alethia International Publications
2019
nidottu
Diagnoses of depressive and bipolar disorders have reached epidemic proportions. The current psychiatric theories, approaches, and suggested remedies have together failed to resolve these human struggles despite technological advances and continued claims of validity and reliability. In fact, since its introduction in the early 1960s, the current humanistic paradigm has worsened both individuals and society as a whole. Suicidal ideation and completions are also rapidly increasing within the church and even among church leadership. There clearly exists an urgent need to rethink the widespread human struggle known today as depression. In this book, Dr. Berger proposes from both Scripture and scientific evidence that the root of our mental struggles lies in our metaphysical souls rather than in our physical bodies. As the reader will discover, the solution is not to endlessly invent new theories and alleged physical remedies that inevitably fail, but to return to understanding humanity's true nature as God declares it to be from the beginning of time. Only by realizing and accepting this important perspective does our own human fragility and depravity begin to make sense. At the same time, this is not a book that suggests that those who struggle should simply pray and read their Bible more and that all of their problems will vanish. Rather, the book offers proven and practical answers to important questions.Rethinking Depression invites the Christian who seeks answers and desires to help others struggling or diagnosed within the psychiatric system to re-examine the current ways of understanding and treating depression and to consider the gracious perspective that in all of our mental suffering, sorrow, and hopelessness-no matter how severe, we are not abnormal or different from one another at our core. In truth, what we all desperately need is sure hope and genuine healing for our souls that is only found in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Coping with Crisis: The Resilience and Vulnerability of Pre-Industrial Settlements

Coping with Crisis: The Resilience and Vulnerability of Pre-Industrial Settlements

Daniel R. Curtis

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
nidottu
Why in the pre-industrial period were some settlements resilient and stable over the long term while other settlements were vulnerable to crisis? Indeed, what made certain human habitations more prone to decline or even total collapse, than others? All pre-industrial societies had to face certain challenges: exogenous environmental hazards such as earthquakes or plagues, economic or political hazards from ’outside’ such as warfare or expropriation of property, or hazards of their own-making such as soil erosion or subsistence crises. How then can we explain why some societies were able to overcome or negate these problems, while other societies proved susceptible to failure, as settlements contracted, stagnated, were abandoned, or even disappeared entirely? This book has been stimulated by the questions and hypotheses put forward by a recent ’disaster studies’ literature - in particular, by placing the intrinsic arrangement of societies at the forefront of the explanatory framework. Essentially it is suggested that the resilience or vulnerability of habitation has less to do with exogenous crises themselves, but on endogenous societal responses which dictate: (a) the extent of destruction caused by crises and the capacity for society to protect itself; and (b) the capacity to create a sufficient recovery. By empirically testing the explanatory framework on a number of societies between the Middle Ages and the nineteenth century in England, the Low Countries, and Italy, it is ultimately argued in this book that rather than the protective functions of the state or the market, or the implementation of technological innovation or capital investment, the most resilient human habitations in the pre-industrial period were those than displayed an equitable distribution of property and a well-balanced distribution of power between social interest groups. Equitable distributions of power and property were the underlying conditions in pre-industrial societies that all

On-Target Learning: Redefining Organizational Learning

On-Target Learning: Redefining Organizational Learning

Daniel R. Tobin

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
Throughout his 40 years in learning and development in a variety of companies, Dan Tobin has been known as an innovator and a disruptor. More than 20 years ago, he created a process for tying all learning initiatives directly to corporate, group, and individual business goals - a process he called a "Learning Contract" and he has presented this model to dozens of executive, human resources, and training groups throughout the world. When explaining the learning contract process, he has often been asked when he would create a toolkit for people to use in implementing the process. On-Target Learning presents this toolkit. The Learning Contract starts with the organization's goals, determines how learning can contribute to the achievement of those goals, develops a learning plan, and follows through to ensure that what is learned is actually applied to people's work to help them meet those goals. Further, it recommends that people in the field redefine their roles from "trainers" to "learning facilitators."On-Target Learning not only explains the Learning Contract process, but also provides practical advice to training groups on how to implement each step. It is full of examples from Dan Tobin's own career and from other companies whose stories Dan has collected over the years from the research he has done for previous books. The chapters on the Learning Contract are followed by a discussion of "Evaluating Your Learning Initiatives."As a bonus, Dan has included a chapter on "Other Lessons Learned." This chapter contains a variety of stories from Dan's career in hope that people currently working in the training/learning/development field can glean some ideas that will be helpful to them in their current jobs and their careers.Training groups often complain that they are not valued by their organizations, that they cannot get "a seat at the planning table." On-Target Learning shows you how to earn that seat at the table.Dan is now semi-retired, doing occasional consulting and speaking engagements. He is the author of seven previous books on corporate learning strategies, and he hopes that On-Target Learning will be his legacy to the field.
