In this book, Until Death: Every Defeat is Psychological, we embark on a journey to explore the profound idea that all defeats, be they personal, professional, or existential, are fundamentally psychological. This exploration is rooted in the belief that the narratives we create and the perceptions we hold about ourselves and our world dictate how we experience and overcome challenges. The premise of this book is both simple and revolutionary: the external world may present us with setbacks and failures, but it is our psychological response to these events that truly determines the impact they have on our lives. Defeat, in essence, is not an absolute condition imposed upon us by external forces but a construct of our own making. The stories we tell ourselves about our failures and the meanings we ascribe to them shape our reality more than the events themselves.

In the rapidly evolving world of education, the role of societal expectations on schoolgirls remains a subject of profound importance. The perception that we have made substantial progress in gender equality is a half-truth that overlooks the deeply ingrained cultural, societal, and economic challenges many young girls in India still face today. As I set out to write this book, "Shadows of Expectation: The Unseen Struggles of School Girls in Modern India," my primary aim was to shed light on these often-overlooked narratives—the real, raw stories of girls across different regions of India who, despite the modern age, continue to battle the invisible chains of tradition, expectation, and societal pressure.

Some of the most active debate about the Vietnam War today is prompted by those who believe that the United States could have won the war either through an improved military strategy or through more.

This book came into being because of an intrinsic desire to educate others on how the U.S. military has maintained its position as the worlds premier fighting force. This careful explanation will be achieved by using the structural functionalism approach as the sociological foundation and its relationship with the various social actors. This approach reinforces the fact that team unity and cohesion can only result when various social actors work together for the common good of the mission. I want readers to not only understand the military as a fighting force but also how the military is subject to social influences like any other social institution. The U.S. military is often studied regarding its role in our society as a mechanism of protection without much emphasis as a social institution with actors or individuals who are subject to the influences of social interaction like a fallen apple is subject to the Law of Gravity. Writing this book on the subject of military sociology was also inspired because of my unique position in the U.S. Army. As a military sociologist and company grade officer, I have the practical experience and educational background to talk about the social facts that sustain troop cohesion, support, and morale. Mechanisms are established in the military to encourage individuals who are different in many regards to think and fight as one team. The United States military is only great because we have great family, friends, and comrades that support us as individuals and as the American military.
