She comes to visit Tris on Visiting Day and after finding out her being Divergent, instructs her to visit her brother and talk to him about simulation serum. She also appears in Tris's Fear Landscape.

She hesitates, clearly torn, clearly having found a "desirable mate," and Angel grows even more breathless. With the harsh discipline of an abnegation as rigid and as necessary as Angel's, Jhiera turns toward the door, away from the object of her desire. As she walks away from him, Angel sees what he has already inescapably sensed-- Jhiera's ko glows red hot. Raging desire at war with self-preservation, Angel stands desperately immobile until She is out of range.

In Insurgent, she lies to Erudite and Dauntless traitors during their attack on Amity to capture Abnegation survivors and loyal Dauntless by denying their presence at Amity. Before their invasion at the Erudite compound, Marcus, Tris and Christina asks Amity for help. She arranges a meeting and asks Amity members to reconsider their decision to remain neutral. She asserts that they must save the innocent Erudite during the attack or all their knowledge will be dead with them.

When Tris comes back and tries to stop him, he attacks her under the influence of serum. Tris does not want to hurt him at all and helps him to break his simulation and he, along with Tris stop the Erudite simulation and free other Dauntless. Later he, Tris, Caleb, Peter and Four's father Marcus board the train to Amity to find the Abnegation survivors. In Insurgent, Dauntless and Erudite traitors recognize him at Amity headquarters.

Prevenda manufactures bricolating matters and materials without exalting the poverist non-finite. As the musical form close to her painting seems to be an ample organ tocatta. Prevenda's great picto-objectural suites assert, invoking paradoxically exactly the shadow of the human, the withdrawal of the artist from the mundane and the passionate abnegation in the material elaboration of the pictorial body and of its stratified density. Hers assemblage-painting bears a strong presence, striking on a visual and tactile level.

Butler, xxxiv–xlii. Moreover, Austen's "heroines' subordinate role in the family ... their dutifulness, meditativeness, self-abnegation, and self-control" are characteristics shared by the heroines of conservative authors such as Jane West and Mary Brunton.Butler, xv–xvi. Enlightenment feminism, which includes such writers as Catharine Macaulay and Mary Wollstonecraft, is a tradition of thought that claims that "women share the same moral nature as men, ought to share the same moral status, and exercise the same responsibility for their conduct".

Nevertheless, the group has been regarded by intellectual historians as influential as a watershed in the process of demythologizing belief in the transformative essence of the peasant masses and in its abnegation of traditional Russian rejection of the norms of western constitutionalism as both a vehicle and a goal for change. Former members of the People's Rights Party would re-emerge as top leaders of the constitutionalist Union of Liberation or would join the Socialist Revolution Party after its organization in 1902.

Molly, who spots them together, starts making fun of them. In Insurgent, Susan mentions him to Tris that she and Robert have grieved for their parents' deaths separately with their own factions. He later appears when Tris, Christina and Marcus ask Amity for help and he with other Amity and Abnegation members go to the Erudite compound to save defenseless and innocent Erudite members during the attack of Dauntless and factionless. Both of the Black siblings do not appear in the film series.

Tris shoots him in the leg when he tries to shoot Four. In Insurgent, he along with Erudite and Dauntless traitors attack Candor, to capture Abnegation survivors and Divergent for testing and also injects the Dauntless with another serum. During the attack he kills the little Divergent boy and gets caught when Tris injured him. When Dauntless find out that one of Erudite's peace conditions for Candor is to hand over Eric safely, the newly elected Dauntless leaders sentence him to death.

Filming also took place at the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel; the entire area was treated with dirt and rust to appear more dystopian. Additional scenes were shot at 57th Street and Ellis Avenue near the University of Chicago, at Federal Street where fake L tracks were constructed and at Michigan Avenue. Scenes were also filmed in the University of Chicago's Joe and Rika Mansueto Library. For the Abnegation sector, the production team constructed the set on Wells Street in downtown Chicago.

He embarked on a lifelong commitment to philanthropy. His employees were well paid and received regular medical exams; he built schools, hospitals, and community kitchens; and he paid to support orphans and award scholarships. He also taught himself homeopathy and offered medical treatments to his employees. Francisco became increasingly engaged with Spiritism and in 1901 was convinced that the spirit of his brother Raúl, who had died at age 4, was communicating with him, urging him to do charity work and practice self- discipline and self-abnegation.

In post- apocalyptic Chicago (that is revealed only in Allegiant), survivors are divided into five factions: Abnegation, the selfless; Amity, the peaceful; Candor, the honest; Dauntless, the brave; and Erudite, the intelligent. All 16-year-olds are tested to determine the faction that suits them best, but they select their own faction at the Choosing Ceremony. Those who do not complete initiation become "Factionless" and live on the streets as outcasts. The 16-year-old Beatrice Prior could not choose before she took the test.

She glorified God to her own abnegation and saw every recurrence of her illness as a cycle of death and survival. Her poetry expanded beyond Christian ethics to a universal sentiment of faith which people could absorb regardless of their religion. In the 1990s, she began to publish her own works extensively. A collection of poetry Loss of losses came out in 1991, followed by Fire and Ashes (essays on Marina Tsvetaeva, 1993) and Truth and its twins (essays on Fyodor Dostoevsky and Alexander Pushkin, 1993).

Palmerston supported Parkes while in Parliament the British policy was strongly attacked on moral grounds by Richard Cobden and William Gladstone. Playing the patriotism card, Palmerston said that Cobden demonstrated "an anti-English feeling, an abnegation of all those ties which bind men to their country and to their fellow countrymen, which I should hardly have expected from the lips of any member of this House. Everything that was English was wrong, and everything that was hostile to England was right."Ridley, p. 467.

Tris confronts a mind- controlled Four but helps him break free of the mind control, and then stop Jeanine in time to release the Dauntless. In Insurgent, Tris, Tobias, Marcus, Caleb, and Peter are fugitives hiding out in Amity sector. She overhears a conversation between the Amity leader, Johanna Reyes, and Marcus that Abnegation leaders died protecting a secret. When Erudite and Dauntless traitors arrive to capture them, they escape by jumping on a train to the factionless camp where they meet Tobias's mother.

He, like his sister, chooses a faction different from Abnegation, spreading rumors fueled by Erudite that their parents had abused them to the point that both choose to transfer. In Divergent, during the choosing ceremony, Caleb chooses Erudite and fits well with other Erudite initiates. At the advice of their mother, Tris goes to the Erudite compound to meet and talk to Caleb about the simulation serum but he defends his faction. He also feels disappointed by knowing that Natalie went to visit Tris and not him.

After the events of Divergent, Beatrice "Tris" Prior, Tobias "Four" Eaton, Caleb Prior, Peter Hayes, and Marcus Eaton seek refuge in the Amity sector. Tris overhears Marcus and Amity leader Johanna Reyes discuss the fact that the Abnegation leaders died to protect secret information. Erudite and the Dauntless traitors arrive to arrest the Divergents, but Tris flees with Four, Caleb, and Susan Black on a train to the Factionless sector. There, they meet Tobias' mother, Evelyn Johnson-Eaton, who tries to persuade her son to sway Dauntless into joining forces with the Factionless against Erudite.

History has condemned his departure as a desertion. Cap. IV "La crisis hacendaria y política" Nicolás de Piérola overthrew Puerta's government and took power on December 23, 1879. Piérola has been criticised because of his sectarianism, frivolous investment, bombastic decrees, and lack of control in the budget, but it must be said that he put forth an enormous effort to obtain new funds and to mobilize the country for the war. Basadre considered his work an act of heroism, abnegation in a country invaded, politically divided, militarily battered, and economically bloodless. Cap.

Early Racetraitor music could be characterized as powerviolence and grindcore, featuring an abundance of noise and blast beats. Songs often timed less than a minute, which gave their early shows the quality of containing more spoken word than music. Eventually, their 1990s hardcore, extreme metal, especially death metal, and metalcore influences came to the foreground and Racetraitor's songs became longer and more defined. Along with bands like Abnegation and Day of Suffering, Racetraitor because one of the forerunners of the vegan metal sound and an early pioneer of metalcore.

Self-denial (related but different from self-abnegation or self-sacrifice) is an act of letting go of the self as with altruistic abstinence – the willingness to forgo personal pleasures or undergo personal trials in the pursuit of the increased good of another. Various religions and cultures take differing views of self-denial, some considering it a positive trait and others considering it a negative one. According to some Protestants, self- denial is considered a superhuman virtue only obtainable through Jesus. Some critics of self-denial suggest that self-denial can lead to self-hatred.

During a visit to Candor, she reveals that she had killed Will. She later surrenders herself to Erudite to save her Dauntless friends, where she finds out that her brother is working for Jeanine but is later able to escape with Tobias and Peter. She joins Marcus Eaton in order to obtain the information stolen by Erudite from Abnegation and transfer it to every faction. When Tobias finds out about this, he is shocked and angry at her, but they later reconcile and she hopes that they will have no secrets from each other.

She has stretch marks on her knees, and her fingernails look to have been bitten raw. In Divergent, she develops the serum to control Dauntless and make them kill Abnegation. When Tris and Four are caught, she injects Four with another serum that supposedly works on Divergent and sends him to the Control Room to oversee the attack and sentences Tris to death. Her plans are stopped when Tris escapes and breaks Four from his mind control, then injects the simulation serum on Jeanine herself to make her stop the Dauntless simulation.

During the second stage of initiation involving simulations, it is revealed that she is afraid of moths. She also starts a relationship with Will before the fear landscape stage of initiation. She walks out on Tris when Tris comes out first among the transfers for their rankings for stage two and Peter accuses Tris for manipulating others but they reconcile after Peter's attack on Tris. She along with other Dauntless controlled by simulation through serum attack on Abnegation and wakes up when Tris and Four shut it down.

During this period, he is known to have resorted to extreme measures of sense control which involve self-abnegation methods like fasting for months together (having just a cup of tea a day) while taking huge quantities of food at other times. During this time, he confined himself in a dark room with a lamp that used to be lit up at all times. He would often be found lying on bed while facing the wall. He did not allow very many people in his room during this period.

The importance of the role of women, in particular of feminist organisations, had in the history of social work has been highlighted by several historical studies.Revue suisse de travail social, n°23 (2018) Regarding the development of social service in the beginning of the 20th Century (1910-1920), women and feminists movements were crucial for the recognition of social work as a profession. On one hand, their discourse reinforced the dualist vision of social roles, considering care work was appropriate with the characteristic women were supposed to have (e.g. softness, empathy, solicitude, love, abnegation, etc.).

While Caleb and Susan return to Abnegation, Tris and Tobias head to Candor headquarters, where the other Dauntless now reside. Under truth serums, Tobias confides his reasons for transferring to Dauntless, and Tris reveals her killing of Will in self- defense, which strains her relationship with her friend Christina. That night, the Dauntless traitors, led by Eric, arrive and shoot simulation serums into their fellow Dauntless and knock everyone unconscious except the Divergents: Tris, Uriah Pedrad, and several others. As Eric begins executing the Divergents, Tris wounds him and allows the others to capture him as the remaining traitors flee.

The trilogy is set in the future in a dystopian society that is divided into five factions. The trilogy's society defines its citizens by their social and personality affiliations, with the five different factions removing the threat of anyone exercising independent will and threatening the population's safety. Beatrice Prior, who later changes her name to Tris, is born into Abnegation but transfers into Dauntless; she must figure out her life as a Divergent, conceal her true nature, and live with the danger of being killed if her true nature is discovered by the Erudite and Dauntless leaders.

Sagona's The Prisoner is a cycle about co-dependence exhibited at the Fondaco Gallery, Rome, in connection with the 13th edition of the Rome Film Fest. As Claire Messud writes in the essay on this work, “Codependent love entails a passionate devotion to the unrequited, a desire for self-abnegation. Its ironies are rife: how readily we give of ourselves, believing that eventually our sacrifices will be recognized; how thoroughly we put the needs and desires of the troubled before our own; how proud we are of our ability to stand in the heart of the flames, and burn”.

Jung gives some examples of how consciousness becomes "inflated," which he defines as "an extension of the personality beyond individual limits, in other words, a state of being puffed up." This runs the gamut between megalomania and self-abnegation. Jung stresses the importance of maintaining the distinction between the personal and the collective, to maintain the integrity of the individual personality and allow it to grow in the individuation process. Next, Jung defines his concept of the persona, the social roles that a person performs, as a segment of the collective psyche that is incorrectly felt to be personal.

As they search for allies and answers in the wake of the uprising, Tris and Four are on the run. Hunted by Jeanine Matthews, the leader of the Erudite faction, Tris and Four race against time as they try to figure out what Abnegation sacrificed their lives to protect and the reason that the Erudite leaders will do anything to stop them. Haunted by her past choices but desperate to protect the people she loves, Tris faces one impossible challenge after another as she unlocks the truth about the past and, ultimately, the future of her world.

Blake's later writings show a renewed interest in Christianity, and although he radically reinterprets Christian morality in a way that embraces sensual pleasure, there is little of the emphasis on sexual libertarianism found in several of his early poems, and there is advocacy of "self-denial", though such abnegation must be inspired by love rather than through authoritarian compulsion.See intro to Chapter 4 of Jerusalem. Berger (more so than Swinburne) is especially sensitive to a shift in sensibility between the early Blake and the later Blake. Berger believes the young Blake placed too much emphasis on following impulses,Berger, pp.

Corey Robin, "Fear", Page 96 For some prominent communists such as Bertram Wolfe, Jay Lovestone, Arthur Koestler, and Heinrich Brandler, the Bukharin trial marked their final break with communism, and even turned the first three into fervent anti-Communists eventually.Bertram David Wolfe, "Breaking with communism", p. 10 To them, Bukharin's confession symbolized the depredations of communism, which not only destroyed its sons but also conscripted them in self-destruction and individual abnegation. The preparation for this trial, which took over a year, was delayed in its early stages due to the reluctance of some party members to denounce their comrades.

Tris wound up shooting him in the foot rather, as she knew she didn't have it in her to execute him. He punishes Christina when she forfeits her fight due to her injuries by making her hang over the Chasm at the risk of becoming faction-less if she is incapable of doing so. He has a competitive nature as shown during the game of Capture the Flag, where his team loses to Four's; he reacts sullenly and later violently. He works for Jeanine Matthews and injects Dauntless with the serum which makes them attack Abnegation.

Tris finds her father in hiding with Caleb, Marcus, and several Abnegations. The group sneaks into Dauntless headquarters, where Tris encounters Peter and forces him to lead them to Erudite's control center. Her father sacrifices himself in a shootout, and Tris goes in alone to find Four, who is now under stronger mind control, which is designed for Divergents, and attacks her. Using her knowledge of his fears, she manages to wake him from the mind control, and both enter the central control room, where the Erudite leader Jeanine (Kate Winslet) is about to have the Dauntless army execute the entire Abnegation faction.

The background to the story, revealed in the first novel of the trilogy, explains how Chicago in the post-apocalyptic future is now a society that defines its citizens by strict conformity to their social and personality affiliations with five different factions. Thar removes the threat of anyone exercising independent will and threatening the population's safety again by war or some other human-created catastrophe. The factions are Abnegation for the selfless, Amity for the peaceful, Candor for the honest, Dauntless for the brave, and Erudite for the intelligent. Those who are tested with equal aptitude for more than one faction are deemed "Divergent.".

The Hindu Widows' Remarriage Act, 1856, also Act XV, 1856, enacted on 26 July 1856, legalised the remarriage of Hindu widows in all jurisdictions of India under East India Company rule. It was drafted by Lord Dalhousie and passed by Lord Canning before the Indian Rebellion of 1857. It was the first major social reform legislation after the abolition of Sati by Lord William Bentinck. To protect what it considered family honour and family property, upper-caste Hindu society had long disallowed the remarriage of widows, even child and adolescent ones, all of whom were expected to live a life of austerity and abnegation.

Minhag America eliminated calls for a return to Israel and the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, the reinstitution of sacrifices and the restoration of the priesthood and the Davidic dynasty. References to resurrection were changed to reflect a spiritual immortality. When the Central Conference of American Rabbis released the Union Prayer Book in the 1890s, Wise had his own congregation abandon the siddur he had formulated and adopt the UPB, an act that Philipson described as "a remarkable act of self abnegation". Wise's example led many other congregations that had been using Minhag America to accept the switch to the Union Prayer Book.

Self-denial in women is linked to cultural definitions of femininity which women have internalized to such an extent that self-abnegation had become basic to women's experience. Judith Plaskow observed this and argued that it was more linked to women than men because they were to follow this Christian virtue because of their detriment. Women are seen in a domestic perspective and self-denial puts all things women were once exposed to the side so they can be committed to their marriage and family. The way women are portrayed has not changed much throughout the years because the patriarchal perspective continues to be present.

Tori records her results as Abnegation, warns her to keep the true result a secret, and says that because Divergents can think independently and are aware of any serums injected into them, the government cannot control them and considers them to be threats to the existing social order. The next day, at the Choosing Ceremony, Beatrice's brother Caleb Prior (Ansel Elgort) chooses Erudite, and after some hesitation, Beatrice chooses Dauntless. After the ceremony, Beatrice meets Christina (Zoë Kravitz), Al (Christian Madsen), and Will (Ben Lloyd-Hughes), three other initiates from other factions who also chose Dauntless. Christina and Al are from Candor, and Will is from Erudite.

Thorstein Veblen finds certain religious references in the story to be intrusive. He notes that Kjartan "comes to be depicted as a sanctimonious acolyte given to prayer, fasting and pious verbiage; instead of being a wilful spoiled child, vain and sulky, of a romantic temper and endowed with exceptional physical beauty, such as the run of the story proclaims him". Similarly, he finds it jarring that Guðrún, "a beautiful vixen, passionate, headstrong, self-seeking and mendacious, is dutifully crowned with the distinction of having been the first nun and anchorite in Iceland having meritoriously carried penance and abnegation to the outer limit of endurance".Veblen 1964:xiv.

Accordingly, the Sith reject altruism, self-abnegation and kindness, as they regard such attitudes as founded on delusions that fetter one's perceptions and power. In connection with their philosophy, the Sith draw on the Dark Side of the Force through severe negative emotions, a technique antipodal to that of their archenemies, the Jedi, who rely on the Force's "light side," i.e., the Force as experienced through disciplined states of quietude and compassion. Notably, both the Jedi and Sith shun romantic and familial love, as the Jedi fear such love will lead to attachment, and thus selfishness, and the Sith fear it will compromise their ruthlessness and connection to the Dark Side of the Force.

Eventually, this controversy led to a sectarian conflict in which the heterodox Jedi were defeated and exiled.Marvel Comics, Star Wars 9 – "Showdown on the Smuggler's Moon, Part II" In exile, the dissident Jedi were free to explore the relationship between passion and the Force. They concluded that the martial and ethical disciplines of the Jedi establishment were foolish and misguided: Passion, not quietude, was the most potent means of accessing the Force, and conflict, not peace, was the natural and healthy state of the universe. Rejecting the self-abnegation of their forebears, the exiles now embraced ruthless personal ambition, believing that power belonged to those with the cunning and strength to seize it.

He was a disciple of Rabbi Mani II.Yerushalmi Pesachim 1 27d; Yerushalmi Moed Kattan 3 82c He gradually rose to his master's level and discussed with him as a "fellow student" many halakhic questions.Yerushalmi Sanhedrin 2 19d; Yerushalmi Shevuot 6 37b Eventually he moved to Sepphoris, where he became the religious head of the community; hence he is sometimes cited as Hanina of Sepphoris.Yerushalmi Nedarim 9 41b When Mani also moved to Sepphoris (due to Roman persecutions in Tiberias), Hanina resigned the leadership in his favor—an act of self- abnegation extolled by the Rabbis as having few parallels.Yerushalmi Pesachim 6 33aMANI, Jewish Virtual Library; Article Hanina, however, did not long remain in Palestine.

Javad Tabatabai, a leading theorist and historian of political thought in Iran, has presented a controversial theory regarding the causes of the decline of political thought and society in Iran over the last few centuries. His ideas on Iranian decline have affected the intellectual debates on modernity and democracy currently underway in Iran. Tabatabai's career-long research has revolved around this question: “What conditions made modernity possible in Europe and led to its abnegation in Iran?” He answers this question by adopting a “Hegelian approach” that privileges a philosophical reading of history on the assumption that philosophical thought is the foundation and essence of any political community and the basis for any critical analysis of it as well.

For these early Afrocentrists, the goal was to break what they saw as a vicious cycle of the reproduction of black self-abnegation. In the words of The Crisis editor W. E. B. Du Bois, the world left African Americans with a "double consciousness," and a sense of "always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity."Tejumola Olaniyan, "From Black Aesthetics to Afrocentrism" , West Africa Review, Issue 9 (2006). In his early years, W. E. B. Du Bois, researched West African cultures and attempted to construct a pan- Africanist value system based on West African traditions.

Every Eid al-Adha once a year Muslims around the world slaughter an animal to commemorate Abraham's sacrifice and to remind themselves of self-abnegation in the way of Allah.Deeper Meaning of Sacrifice in Islam Later historiographic literature incorporates the Biblical narrative in which a ram is provided which is slaughtered instead of Ishmael. The actions of Ishmael in this narrative have led him to become a prominent model of hospitality and obedience. This story in the Quran is unique when compared to that in the Bible because Abraham talks with his son, whichever it is believed to be, and the son is thus aware of the plan to become a sacrifice and approves of it.

Edith Prior, born Amanda Marie Ritter, was a researcher and volunteer for the faction system who appears at the end of Insurgent in the video retrieved by Four and Caleb. Edith was from Peoria according to her journal, whose wordings cause Tris to suspect that she was a product of a broken home, like her mother. Edith entered Chicago as an Abnegation member, although her surname suggests that her relatives did mutual transfer with Erudite, as Tris' father, Andrew, who is a seventh-generational descendant of Edith's brother, was born in Erudite. In the video, Edith explains that the world had become corrupt and for this reason factions are established in Chicago.

Tori, her test administrator, tells her that she is "Divergent", that is, she has the aptitude to fit into multiple factions (Erudite, Abnegation and Dauntless), but is warned never to tell anyone that information, not even her family members. In the Choosing Ceremony, she transfers to Dauntless, and assumes a new moniker "Tris". She befriends fellow initiates Christina and Al, who are from Candor, and Will, an Erudite transfer. In the first initiation period, her performance in physical matches against top-ranked candidates such as Peter places her on the brink of being cut from the faction, but she then participates in a capture the flag event where she plays a major part in her team's victory.

She along with other Dauntless attack the Abnegation sector under the influence of serum and killed a man. In Insurgent, she and Zeke arrive at the Candor sector in injured condition and it is revealed that they were working as spies among Erudite and Dauntless traitors but when their secret was revealed they escape to Candor to join other Dauntless. She along with Four and Harrison elected as new leaders of Dauntless and sentence Eric to death. During the attack on Erudite compound, she manages to corner Jeanine Matthews in her laboratory and stabs her with knife which leads to Jeanine's death to avenge her brother, who was killed on Jeanine's orders.

This story, however, is only a cover-up, as Allegiant reveals that Natalie is not actually from Chicago at all, but instead from Milwaukee, another experimental city of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. She escaped from that city when her mother killed her father at the age of 16 and was taken up by the Bureau, whose leader, David, fell in love with her, in the fringe. Natalie was sent to prevent Erudite from exterminating Divergents and was classified as a 15-year-old so she could have time to adapt in Dauntless for a year. Though she originally planned to transfer to Erudite, she fell in love with Andrew Prior and the two transferred together to Abnegation.

This is because he is jealous of Four since their previous leader Max wanted Four to take his place as a Dauntless leader instead of Eric, and Four placed first in initiation. He has always been better than Eric, fueling Eric's hatred. In Free Four: Tobias Tells the Divergent Knife-Throwing Scene, the retelling of chapter thirteen of Divergent from Four's perspective, it is revealed that he was going to leave Dauntless and become factionless but after meeting Tris, who like him came from Abnegation, decided to stay for her. During simulation initiation, he finds out that Tris is Divergent he tells her to be careful about it and deletes the footage of the incident before walking her back to her dorm.

In 2007, Ralf Sudau took the view that particular attention should be paid to the motifs of self-abnegation and disregard for reality. Gregor's earlier behavior was characterized by self-renunciation and his pride in being able to provide a secure and leisured existence for his family. When he finds himself in a situation where he himself is in need of attention and assistance and in danger of becoming a parasite, he doesn't want to admit this new role to himself and be disappointed by the treatment he receives from his family, which is becoming more and more careless and even hostile over time. According to Sudau, Gregor is self-denyingly hiding his nauseating appearance under the canapé and gradually famishing, thus pretty much complying with the more or less blatant wish of his family.

As a result of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the Malaysian ringgit lost 50% of its value, the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) was devalued, property markets buckled, bad loans surged, and the government struggled to find a solution to the crisis. The difficulty in doing so, particularly without recourse to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) – the then Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir forbade such an abnegation of sovereignty – which have led to debates on proper policy approaches and an increased awareness of the country's vulnerability to outside economic forces. Mahathir preferred more innovative measures to stabilize the currency and cushion the economy from further speculative measures. On the other hand, Anwar Ibrahim, the Deputy Prime Minister and then-Minister of Finance advocated IMF-style, free-market- oriented corrective measures.

Page 14. Osprey Publishing. (July 30, 1992) The Argentine Army Official Report on the war recommended Major Oscar Ramon Jaimet and CSM Jorge Edgardo Pitrella of the 6th Regiment's B Company for an MVC (Argentine Nation to the Valour in Combat Medal) for the conduct of their fighting withdrawal and subsequent behaviour on Tumbledown (this was later granted to Major Jaimet, Pitrella was awarded the Argentine Army to the Effort and Abnegation Medal). Sergeant-Major George Meachin of Yankee Company later praised the fighting abilities and spirit of the Argentine defenders of the northern peak in the form of the men of Pérez-Grandi and Mosquera-Gutierrez: Hugh Bicheno described the moonscape of devastation: With the telephone lines to the command post in shreds, Llambías Pravaz led his men to join M Company, 5th Marine Infantry Battalion on Sapper Hill.

Imperial Bedrooms opens with an acknowledgement from Clay, the main character, that both the Less Than Zero novel and its film adaptation are actual representational works within the narrative of his life: "The movie was based on a book by someone we knew... It was labeled fiction but only a few details had been altered and our names weren't changed and there was nothing in it that hadn't happened." The Los Angeles Times described this as a "nifty little trick", as it allows Ellis to establish the newer book "as the primary narrative, one that trumps Ellis as author and the real world." The San Francisco Chronicle calls it a "neat trick of authorial self-abnegation". Another reviewer describes it as Ellis at "his most ambitious", a "Philip Rothian, doppelgänger gambit", making his new narrator "the real Clay" and the other an imposter.

Harsh criticism is also known from Messiah-librettist Charles Jennens who recorded it was 'a baudy Opera'. The questionable morals of whether Semele was 'profane' and so perhaps not suitable for decent members of the audience meant that the work quickly fell from the repertoire, only being revived once by Handel. However, Semele remains a work of high quality. As the late Lord Harewood put it: > the music of Semele is so full of variety, the recitative so expressive, the > orchestration so inventive, the characterization so apt, the general level > of invention so high, the action so full of credible situation and incident > – in a word, the piece as a whole is so suited to the operatic stage – that > one can only suppose its neglect to have been due to an act of abnegation on > the part of opera companies.

Such was Alexander's mood when the downfall of Napoleon left him one of the most powerful sovereigns in Europe. With the memory of the treaty of Tilsit still fresh in men's minds, it was not unnatural that to cynical men of the world like Klemens Wenzel von Metternich he merely seemed to be disguising "under the language of evangelical abnegation" vast and perilous schemes of ambition. The puzzled powers were, in fact, the more inclined to be suspicious in view of other, and seemingly inconsistent, tendencies of the emperor, which yet seemed all to point to a like disquieting conclusion. For Madame de Krüdener was not the only influence behind the throne; and, though Alexander had declared war against the Revolution, La Harpe (his erstwhile tutor) was once more at his elbow, and the catchwords of the gospel of humanity were still on his lips.

Psychoanalysis and postmodern theory (including the work of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan) are combined to bear on literary texts and the history that produced them. In Judith, for instance, Hermann reads the decapitation of Holofernes not just as a symbolic castration but also allegorically, as Christian abnegation of the self, but also tropologically, as signifying the disclipining of especially sexual desire within a group, a notion he relates to the poem's monastic provenance. Hermann's critique of "previous allegorical approaches" is still cited in Old English studies. In addition, Hermann takes aim at the reigning methods in Old English scholarship of the time, especially exegesis and the New Criticism, by examining the "sublation", his translation of the Hegelian term Aufhebung, the "subsuming of one term in a binary pair (devil/church, foreign evil/soldier of Christ) by the other in an operation that both negates and conserves the former (suppressed) concept".

Thomas Jonathan Jackson Tidball and Jackson were assigned to the same company in the Corps of Cadets at West Point. They were of similar backgrounds, were both Presbyterian, were from the same section of Virginia (what is now West Virginia), and each spent most of their cadet careers as non-rank-holding cadet privates: > "In consequence of a somewhat shambling, awkward gait, and the habit of > carrying his head down in a thoughtful attitude, he seemed less of stature > than he really was.

Tina Lu writes that the central theme of the story is personal identity—"the question of what a person is, from the specific perspective of the supernatural." She also notes that Pu is alluding to "one of the most famous passages from Mencius" on compassion and human nature: Mencius argues that the hypothetical and innately compassionate bystander observing the baby's fall is prompted to act by a "spontaneous sense of fellow-feeling"; Wang Liulang is not only driven by fellow-feeling, but also stands to lose his life by forgoing a chance at reincarnation. Lu suggests that Pu is questioning if Wang—who is not biologically human but displays much humanity by sparing the mother and child—should be regarded as more legitimate of a person than "people who are biologically human but not morally so". Ian McGreal cites Wang Liulang as "a very good example of a virtuous ghost", while a reviewer for Asiaweek writes that Pu is promoting "friendships that are based on unreserved self-abnegation".

Vallejo, his French secretary Victor Prudon, his brother Salvador Vallejo, and their brother-in-law Jacob P. Leese were taken as prisoners to John C. Frémont's camp in the Central Valley.

On this occasion, Cesare Cantú, the famous Italian historian, addressed to the Bishop of Piacenza some memorable words of congratulation, asking leave to add to the bishop's blessing on the departing missionaries, "the prayers of an old man who admires a courage and an abnegation so full of humility." A welcome had already been assured these first missionaries of the congregation by a commendatory letter (1 June 1888) of Leo XIII addressed to the American bishops. Immediately after their arrival in New York City, the new missionaries were enabled to secure a favorable site in Centre Street, where there was a colony of Italians, and in a short time a chapel was opened; soon after this the Church of the Resurrection was opened on Mulberry Street; lastly, a building on Roosevelt Street, which had been a Protestant place of worship, became the property of the Scalabrini Fathers, who transformed it into the Church of St. Joachim, the first national parish for Italian immigrants in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. The Society of St. Raphael, an emigrant aid society, was organized at Ellis Island.

It disappeared again during the Meiji summer until it reappeared from the 1880s to symbolically express the loss of traditional values during the rapid introduction of Western civilization from 1868 and the feeling of urgency, again, to defend the magnificent Japanese tradition. "Confucianism and Buddhism are embedded, then, in the traditional values to be defended against the West while in the Edo period bushido as a Japanese tradition was rather used as an alternative to Confucianism." The victory of Japan over China in 1895 "changes the paradigm, it is no longer the urgency but the pride of the tradition of bushido which is at the origin of military success (...) abnegation and surpassing oneself" are put forward by forgetting "the moral hesitations of the warrior on the means of victory" Nitobe Inazo (1862–1933) published Bushido: The Soul of Japan -（Project Gutenberg）の電子テキスト全文グーテンベルク・プロジェクトの新渡戸稲造『武士道』（英文） in the United States in 1900 as a result of encountering a lack of religious education in Japan in a conversation with local educators. In addition to politicians such as Theodore Roosevelt and President John F. Kennedy, the book also found many overseas readers such as Boy Scout founder Robert Baden-Powell, and in 1908, "Bushido"[ 「武士道 / 新渡戸稲造著，桜井彦一郎訳」]（近代デジタルライブラリー） as Sakurai Oson ([:ja:櫻井鴎村]) published a Japanese translation.
