Hostile Environment Course
This is weekend I just undertook the Hostile Environment Course and it was amazing. It was very intense course, which had a large amount of information to take in. Though its content was extremely relavent and useful covering; avoiding mines, escaping under fire, navigation, first aid, kidnapping and lots more. Everything we covered in this course was then put into real life scenarios that we as a team would have deal with. If considering going into photojournalism I would highly recommend this course.
“When you realize that what you react to in others, is also in you (and sometimes only in you), you begin to become aware of your own ego.”
—Eckhart Tolle (via elige)
This is really the key to dealing with the anger, negativity and hostility of others. It is very easy to say and hard to do. We are designed by nature to be social animals. We are SUPPOSED to be affected by the emotions of others in our little tribe it is part of our communication process.
However, we no longer exist in small tribes on the African veldt. We no longer need to react as a group to the movement of predators or the incursion of a rival tribe. Now, if we are to remain unruffled in the midst of emotional chaos and a storm of emotion directed at us by a friend, coworker, teacher, parent, sibling, lover or even a stranger, we must learn mindful detachment.
This takes much practice. The key is to actively resist the instinct to react to the anger or hostility. We don’t take it personally. We understand the other person is caught up in their own emotional storm. We let the storm flow through us. We focus on our breathing and our solar plexus using our breath to keep ourselves calm and even. This method of deflection of an opponent’s force rather than direct opposition, that of passive strength, will be familiar to those who practice martial arts. We become as the willow, bending in the face of tempest and in so being we are stronger than the oak which must resist or break.
You will not get this the first time. Maybe not even the second time or even the third. Take every opportunity where you are the brunt of another’s anger to work on this skill. Treat it as an opportunity. You will get it eventually. Don’t be surprised at the strange way people will respond when you remain calm. They will be baffled, they will not know what to do when you don’t react in your usual way. Eventually they will give up and choose a more satisfying target. Do not be condescending or smug. That sort of emotion is still engaging in the drama and will render your efforts ineffective. Rather be as the morning mist when the summer wind blows. Let the emotion swirl around you and through you while you remain unaffected.
When could the Han Chinese be friendly to you?
When you are friendly to other people, you would think other people should be friendly back.
And when other people are friendly to you, you would think you should be friendly to them too.
And you would think you should expect the hostility from others if you are hostile to others. And, if other people are hostile to you, you can also be hostile to them.
But, if you fight the Han Chinese, they will be friendly to you. And if you are friendly to them, they will fight you.
Why?
Because all of the typical Han Chinese grow the mentality of “surrendering to the bullies and finding another to bully”. That’s their unconscious conduct.
Inca takeovers not usually hostile
sciencenews.orgSouth America’s ancient Inca rulers didn’t establish the largest empire in the New World by being sweethearts. But their reputation as warmongers, at least according to some influential 16th- and 17th-century Spanish accounts of Inca history, appears to be undeserved, a new study of skeletal remains suggests.
It’s more likely that Inca bigwigs adopted a range of largely nonviolent takeover tactics starting around 1000, say anthropologists Valerie Andrushko of Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven and Elva Torres of the National Institute of Culture in Cuzco, Peru, once the capital of the Inca empire. Head injuries suggestive of warfare appear on only a small proportion of skeletons previously excavated at Inca-controlled sites located near Cuzco, the researchers report in a paper published online September 30 in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology.
“It appears that the Inca relied less on warfare to conquer other groups and more on political alliances, bloodless takeovers and ideological control tactics,” Andrushko says.
An Inca conquest gambit mentioned in some Spanish accounts involved sending a diplomatic team to offer local groups gifts and military protection. Accepting this proposal required groups to submit to Inca rule. The Inca army waited nearby to make clear what happened to those who declined the offer.
Andrushko and Torres’ findings “add to growing evidence that violent conflict was not the only means for spreading Inca power, although we need skeletal data from other areas that the Inca claimed to have conquered by force,” comments anthropologist Alan Covey of Dartmouth College.
Over the past century, Covey says, archaeologists have chipped away at myths told to Spanish chroniclers by Inca informants, who portrayed the Inca as great civilizers responsible for ending several centuries of regional warfare by conquering all groups engaged in hostilities.
Many local leaders throughout the Andes region probably cemented their power by allying with the Inca, remarks anthropologist Steven Wernke of Vanderbilt University in Nashville. In cases of local resistance, “the Inca generally opted for overwhelming and unsparing use of force,” Wernke says.
Few battle wounds appear on 454 adult skeletons from 11 sites located within 150 kilometers of the Inca capital, Andrushko and Torres report in the new study. These sites date to between 600 and 1532. The investigators looked for head injuries likely to have resulted from clubs, battle axes and other Inca weapons. Such wounds include radiating and concentric fracture lines due to forceful impact.
Before the Inca came to power, from 600 to 1000, only one of 36 individuals in the sample suffered war-related head injuries. As the Inca empire grew from 1000 to 1400, five of 199 individuals, or 2.5 percent, living near Cuzco incurred likely battle wounds. During the Inca heyday, from 1400 to 1532, war injuries affected 17 of 219 individuals — 7.8 percent of the total.
Despite an increased rate of serious head wounds after 1400, such injuries remained sporadic, Andrushko says, indicating that the Inca had a long history of nonviolent takeovers.
