The definition and development of citizenship education has been problematic for a number of reasons which may be summarized as follows: (a) the term 'citizenship' has not been in common use in schools; (b) citizenship has been confused with traditional lessons in civics; (c) education for citizenship is an area of particular political sensitivity; (d) absence of agreement about public virtues and the common good gives rise to various disputes about citizenship; (e) the curriculum does not define the term with clarity - only a "circular characterization" of the subject matter is evident. Reasons like these render citizenship an essentially contested area of education. They often make teachers feel uncertain about the nature and aims of education for citizenship. Understanding the nature of social issues and having a reasonable frame of mind about them are often attained when seen within a conceptual framework or a sociological model. The same may be said about the difficulty with the term citizenship and the ensuing citizenship education. ; N/A

The National Socialist planning for a recolonization of Africa was based on a new social and labour policy and focused chiefly on the "labour question". In designing their schemes, planners strove to mobilize wage labour and circumvent the much-feared "proletarianization" of the workers. The key problem in exploiting the African colonies had two main aspects: a shortage of manpower and migrant labour. Therefore, planners designed complex systems of organized, state-controlled labour recruitment, and formulated rules for labour contracts and compensation. An expanded labour administration was to ensure that the "deployment of labour" ran smoothly and that workers were registered, evaluated, and supervised. Furthermore, "white labour guardians" were to be assigned the responsibility of overseeing the social wellbeing of the African workers. As was evident not only in Germany but in the colonial powers, France and Great Britain, as well, these concepts all fit into the general trend of the times, a trend characterized by the application of scientific methods in solving social issues, by the increased emphasis on state intervention, and by the introduction of sociopolitical measures. Nazi planning was based on Germany's prewar politics but also reflected the changes occurring in German work life after 1933.

For over three decades social studies of science have investigated 'objectivity' as a central, socially constructed assumption in scientific and engineering work. This literature has seldom been utilized in the study of organizations despite the fact that knowledge production and knowledge use in scientific and engineering organizations are presumed to be objective or independent of individual and social influences. In this article, the social studies of science literature as it conceptualizes and understands objectivity is reviewed. An analysis of the data on decision-making at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) during the years preceding the explosion of Challenger is carried out using concepts from this literature. Data on decision-making at NASA during the years preceding the explosion of Columbia are also analyzed. It is shown that the culture of objectivity at NASA interacted with time pressures to produce a misunderstanding of flight risk. This misunderstanding resulted from two general aspects of NASA's culture: (i) an over-confidence in quantitative data went hand-in-hand with a marginalization of nonquantifiable data, leading to an insensitivity to uncertainty and a loss of organizational memory; and (ii) problem definition and solution creation were constructed as if they were independent of organizational goals, resulting in an inaccurate estimation of risk.

This book is about food and feeding in early childhood education and care, offering an exploration of the intersection of children's food, education, family intervention, and public health policies. The notion of good' food for children is often communicated as a matter of common sense by policymakers and public health authorities; yet the social, material, and practical aspects of feeding children are far from straightforward. Drawing on a detailed ethnographic study conducted in a London nursery and children's centre, this book provides a close examination of the practices of childcare practitioners, children, and parents, asking how the universalism of policy and bureaucracy fits with the particularism of feeding and eating in the early years. Looking at the unintended consequences that emerged in the field, such as contradictory public health messaging and arbitrary policy interventions, the book reveals the harmful assumptions about disadvantaged groups that are perpetuated in policy discourse, and challenges the constructs of individual choice and responsibility as main determinants of health. Children's food practices at the nursery are examined to explore the notion that, whilst for adults it is what children eat that often matters most, to children it is how they eat that is more important. This book contributes to a growing body of literature evidencing how children's food is a contested domain, in which power relations are continuously negotiated. This raises questions not only on how children can be included in policy beyond a tokenistic involvement but also on what children's well-being might mean beyond the biomedical sphere. The book will particularly appeal to students and scholars in food and health, food policy, childhood studies, and medical anthropology. Policymakers and non-governmental bodies working in the domains of children's food and early years policies will also find this book of interest.

Happiness has been linked to justice since ancient times, particularly since the beginning of Greek Classical Thought. However, nowadays the importance of happiness can surprisingly be found again in political speech, which makes us think about it, and obviously it is worth doing. Happiness could be considered as a main principle of the Social State. This idea obliges us to look carefully into happiness in our Constitutions. It is thought that only in a democratic society, where social rights have been developed, can citizens get a dignified life, so that they are able to look for happiness. Without a dignified life, happiness is something impossible to achieve. Consequently, happiness is said to be not only an individual objective, but also a common and public target. The State should offer citizens the proper conditions for the pursuit of happiness. In the Spanish Constitution, we get the impression that it is possible to find happiness from some aspects of it. So, according to this, the eudemonism theory could be reasserted in our modern Social State. Currently, we can notice that public policies are concerned with the happiness of citizens in order to improve their daily lives, and actually governments are working on it in many countries. In any case, this fact might be considered as a return to the essence of human being. A good chance to try to understand what is a person. ; La importancia de la felicidad, y su oportuna vinculación con la justicia, ha sido puesta de manifiesto desde el pensamiento filosófico clásico griego. Sin embargo, recientemente puede apreciarse claramente el creciente protagonismo y la inusitada actualidad que ha alcanzado el tema de la búsqueda de la felicidad en el discurso político, lo que obliga a meditar sobre ella como principio rector o directriz orientadora del Estado Social, y a saber detectar su presencia —explícita o implícita— en los textos constitucionales. Sólo en una sociedad democrática, y desde el desarrollo efectivo de los derechos fundamentales y de los derechos sociales, particularmente, será posible alcanzar una vida digna, y a partir de ahí, obtener el basamento adecuado para la búsqueda de la felicidad. La felicidad, pues, no es sólo un objetivo individual, es también un asunto público que ha de venir propiciado desde el propio Estado, en cuanto que desde los poderes públicos pueden establecerse las bases adecuadas para su consecución. En la CE de 1978 podemos encontrar preceptos para entender implícitamente incluida la felicidad como directriz orientadora del Estado en sus políticas públicas, y poder sostener así la presencia de una teoría eudemonista en nuestro Estado Social. Percibir la existencia de una notable preocupación por la felicidad de los ciudadanos en el desarrollo de las políticas públicas actuales supone, en cualquier caso, un afortunado retorno hacia el ámbito de lo humano, una nueva oportunidad para preocuparnos por el ser persona.Happiness has been linked to justice since ancient times, particularly since the beginning of Greek Classical Thought.

"Latinx Catholics have used Our Lady of Guadalupe as a symbol in democratic campaigns ranging from the United Farm Workers movement to the Chicano movement to the movement for just immigration reform. In diverse ways, these groups use Guadalupe's symbol and narrative to make claims about justice in society's basic structures (law, policy, institutions, for example) while seeking to generate greater participation and representation in US democracy. Yet, Guadalupe is illegible within a liberal political framework that seeks to protect society's basic structures from religious encroachment by relegating religious speech, practices, and symbols to the realm of the background culture. In response to this problem, religious ethicists have argued for expansions of the liberal framework that would make religious language, arguments, and practices communities legible within a pluralistic society without capitulating to anti-democratic modes of governance that undermine pluralism. What remains unexplored is the way that the aesthetic dimensions of particular religious traditions can be engaged toward cultivating a more participatory democracy that invites substantive contributions to society's common life from religious people and communities. Instead, in conversation with political liberalism, Latinx theological aesthetics, and Catholic social thought, The Aesthetics of Solidarity examines the use of particular religious symbols to make democratic claims and generate greater participation and presence in the life of US democracy. After evaluating liberalism's capacity for constructive engagement with religion toward strengthening democratic participation, the project employs Latinx theological aesthetics and Catholic social thought to offer a constructive framework for interpreting religious symbols in the context of a religiously pluralistic and participatory democratic life"--

Instituto de Investigaciones Económicas y Empresariales. Ciencias del Desarrollo Regional ; The present research has the general goal of establishing the referential standards of local development in relation with civil society. With the construction and operation of a 8set of indicators, it was pointed the conditions in organizations contribute to the development of Michoacan. Pearson's Correlation Quotient (r) shows a considerable relation between the aspects considered. It was shown by the Determination Quotient (r2) that development in Michoacan depends on the work of organizations. These two values verify the hypothesis. The greatest change possible can only come from the core, being necessary to improve their practice in management abilities, increase effectiveness and efficiency in the achievement of goals. Which involves to ensure the convergence of the expanded reproduction of both, the capital and the life of society as well, in terms of social welfare and equity, both in economic as in political and cultural aspects. Such changes can give Michoacan the possibility to integrate all interests, goals, agents and resources located in their municipal areas, and the opportunity to make use of all social knowledge and cultural heritage of their regions. ; La presente investigación tiene como objetivo general determinar los ejes de referencia de la relación entre desarrollo local y sociedad civil.

El Coeficiente de Correlación de Pearson (r) muestra que existe relación entre los aspectos considerados. Con el Coeficiente de Determinación (r2), se fijó el nivel en que esa relación se establece y los valores obtenidos permitieron comprobar la hipótesis general planteada. El mayor cambio posible sólo puede venir desde el interior de las organizaciones, siendo necesarias las prácticas que mejoren sus capacidades de ...

This book rethinks the concept of community taking Jean-Luc Nancy's influential essay "La communauté désoeuvrée" as its starting point, tracing subsequent scholarship on community and adding new insights on avant-garde aesthetics and politics. Extensively exploring the communitarian dimension of avant-garde aesthetics and politics (focusing on artistic groups, intellectual circles and theoretical collectives), the author aims to bring literature and art into a philosophical examination of the paradoxical and complex idea of community. Zrinka Boézić is Assistant Professor of Literary Theory and History in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Zagreb, Croatia. Her research interests include narrative theory, intersections between literature and philosophy, the position of literature and literary theory in relation to politics, avant-garde theory and practice, theories of representation and problems of testimony.

Asian Smallholders in Comparative Perspective provides the first multicountry, inter-disciplinary analysis of the single most important social and economic formation in the Asian countryside: the smallholder. Based on ten core country chapters, the volume describes and explains the persistence, transformations, functioning and future of the smallholder and smallholdings across East and Southeast Asia. As well as providing a source book for scholars working on agrarian change in the region, it also engages with a number of key current areas of debate, including: the nature and direction of the agrarian transition in Asia, and its distinctiveness vis à vis transitions in the global North; the persistence of the smallholder notwithstanding deep and rapid structural change; and the question of the efficiency and productivity of smallholder-based farming set against concerns over global and national food security.

This article critiques the widely accepted official label 'Culturally and Linguistically Diverse' (CALD), used in Australia to refer mainly to Australia's non-Indigenous ethnic groups other than the English-speaking Anglo-Saxon majority. Our main contention is that it is a racialised and racialising label that perpetuates institutional racism, providing a conceptual excuse for legitimising privilege and altruistic governmentality over minority groups, while inferiorising and projecting these groups as an analogous population who need 'fixing'. The article draws on the sociological construct of labelling, through which we analyse the framing of CALD people in the literature as 'deviants' using Black African Migrants in Australia as exemplars. We propose that CALD labelling is counterproductive because it hinders social integration, divides people into 'us and them', homogenises, blurs particular lived experiences and needs, and ignores intersectional issues.
