This article discusses the problem of Islamic education from a theological and sociological point of view. The emergence of normative and verbalist Islamic education curriculum distorts the universality of Islam. Islam that is contextual in space and time, always in contact with sociological aspects, should be understood as something that can change its partiality dynamics continuously, even though there is a universal thing that is maintained as a normative belief. On the other hand, the failure of education to produce educational output that is dignified and virtuous has caused some people to distrust the world of education in developing the character and ethics of children. The vote of disbelief is getting stronger with the emergence of the National curriculum model which gives a greater portion of general subjects than religious subjects. This paper is a criticism of the development of the world of education in Indonesia, with the hope that education stakeholders make changes to the education system and the applicable curriculum.

It shows the significance of domestic service for Australia's society and economy, from 1788 to the present day. For many years, domestic service was the most important form of paid employment for Australian women. European Australia has often seen domestic service as a civilizing force. It made possible a cultured life for the leisured classes, and promoted middleclass ideals of domesticity and fertility. The house was the architectural stage for the domestic theatre of social confrontation and accommodation. Barry Higman explores demography, technological changes, urbanisation and industrialisation, wealth inequalities, the economic role of women, household structure, childcare, the dual-career family, immigration policy, community organisation and much more in this major new book.

Testing the theory of resilience and relational load in dual career families: relationship maintenance as stress management
  • Jan 2, 2020

  • Tamara D Afifi + 3 more

ABSTRACTThis study examined whether relationship maintenance buffers the stress of balancing work and family. Sixty-two dual-earning couples and their adolescents completed surveys at the beginning and end of the week, recorded their stress throughout the week, and collected saliva on two consecutive days in the middle of the week. When mothers and fathers received more maintenance from each other and adolescents received more maintenance from their parents over the past month (T1), it was associated with a greater rise in cortisol awakening response. Greater maintenance received over the past month was also associated with lower interleukin-6 in adolescents and lower perceived stress during the week for fathers and adolescents. Finally, less maintenance the past month predicted greater conflict during the week for mothers, which predicted less satisfaction balancing work and family. Less maintenance over the past month and conflict during the week also predicted loneliness for both parents.

Selected Sociological Aspects of Security Risks
  • Jun 1, 2002
  • Czech Journal of International Relations
  • František Škvrnda

This article aims to contribute to the discussion of understanding the sociological aspects of security risks as social phenomena. This derives from the General Theory of Risks, which emphasizes the following features of risks: that the possibility exists for an unfavorable occurrence, that this could accompany some human activity associated with the decision-making process, that it will originate in the uncertainty of the human actor's environment, that it will be increased by the influence of subjective factors, and that it will manifest itself in losses, damage, and other harm. The sociological perspective on risk , aside from analyzing it as a social process, is particularly connected with the concept of a risk society and social deviation theory (social pathology).A sociological point of view on security is still lacking or otherwise linked with other problems. This gap can be bridged by viewing security as an anthropocentric issue. Another possible starting point for the research of security risks is to regard the security system as a complex social system. From the sociological point of view, both military and non-military risks represent fundamental types of security risks. When examining security risks it is possible to differentiate between the views of the military (political-military), the police (criminology), and the intelligence services, in terms of their practical goals. This practical analysis of security risks gives rise to further questions. These could include the development of a dynamic perspective, the accuracy of their evaluation, and the level of their security as a group.

Academic studies from the philosophical basis of the formation of this Regional Regulation are in order to create a prosperous society as the state's goal in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia through investment instruments. From a sociological point of view, the formation of this Draft Regional Regulation means that there is a lot of regional potential that can be offered to investors or the public if they want to invest their capital or carry out business activities. However, attracting the interest of investors or the public requires extra efforts, such as through providing incentives or providing various business conveniences. From a juridical point of view, the formation of this Draft Regional Regulation is to carry out the mandate as well as freedom from higher regulations such as Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government and its amendments, and Government Regulation Number 24 of 2019 concerning Providing Incentives and Facilitation of Investment in the Regions. which gives authority to regions to be creative and provide solutions in attracting investment to their regions to support development and improve community welfare.

A experiência da procura de trabalho: um estudo de caso
  • Jan 1, 2010
  • Priscila Pereira Faria Vieira

This dissertation aims to understand the process of searching for a job by means of the labor market intermediaries. Our theoretical approach refuses both the type of economic analysis that describes it as a mere rational behavior linking job seekers and employers, and the current sociological perspective that reduces it to a crucial variable on the measurement of the unemployment situation. We assume a different sociological point of view which approaches the search for a job as a social, moral and subjective experience; in this sense, it has to be analyzed taking into account its context, as a negotiated situation, and the job seeker perceptions, experiences and discourses. The empirical research took place during four years (2005 to 2009) in the Barao de Itapetininga street, Sao Paulo downtown, the most important cluster of labor market intermediaries in Sao Paulo Metropolitan Region, which concentrates itself the most important segment of the Brazilian intermediation market. Ethnographic observation, interviews, analysis of documents and secondary data were the main sources in the fieldwork.

  • Adi Wijaya + 2 more

The development of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in this decade was also followed by the strengthening of the existence of CSR into normative obligations in various countries. Although only a few countries have done it, Indonesia is a part of it. In East Kalimantan Province, the problem of CSR already exists in the form of legal products that have been passed in the form of local regulations. But in fact, there are still local regulations that end up to the endorsement stage. This study is aimed at formulating the legal basis for the formation, consideration, determination and reference of the preparation of the Regional Regulation of Mahakam Ulu Regency on CSR in terms of philosophical, sociological, and juridical. The object of aggregate research is aimed at mapping the rules about corporate CSR in Mahakam Ulu Regency, so that the data collected includes primary and secondary data in 2018. The research analysis model is based on quantitative and qualitative approaches. Philosophically, there is a company's awareness of a fact or fact that exists in most communities, namely the high difference between prosperity and poverty both at the level of rural communities and the Capital District, especially in the area of ​​Mahakam Ulu Regency. From a sociological point of view, this regional regulation is very useful in building a society that is increasingly left behind. Considering that this new area has a limited population, there has been a development imbalance, so that the dominant population is above the poverty line. In terms of legal aspects, based on policy analysis, which is related to the authority, substance, and regulated material, which indeed does not yet exist, so it is necessary to form a Regional Regulation of the Mahakam Ulu Regency regarding CSR.

  • Christopher F Bueno

The research analysis of graft and corruption has been widely studied and described as the social cancer in the political structure and process of the Philippine society. It has been identified within the realm of political corruption that deterred the economic growth and development as the main cause of underdevelopment in developing countries in Asia and Africa. This study is a culture-based analysis to synthesize the substantive and temporal dimension of Public Administration on its social relationships in the bureaucratic perspectives of graft and corruption in the Philippines. The dialectic consideration of this study proves to be significantly relevant why until now graft and corruption remained to be the major concern even there are effective legal-institutional mechanisms such as anti-corrupt practice act to protect the government resources for the implementation of the pro-poor program in the Philippine society. The critical analysis also reflects on the essence of social acceptance and cultural reciprocity from in sociological point of view on the nature of political corruption. The culture-based approach is guided by the in-group analysis and the social perplexity of human action as to the ethical and social values reflecting inner reality of political corruption in the Philippines.

Kulturellt utbyte eller billig arbetskraft? - au pair i Sverige
  • Oct 1, 2002
  • Sociologisk Forskning
  • Ellinor Platzer

Cultural exchange or cheap labour power? Au pairs in SwedenDuring mid 1980’s domestic services were re-introduced in Sweden. It is mostly the dual-career families that demand these services because of the unchanged gender division of labour in the households and their particular career life-styles. An au pair system has established itself in Sweden and many au pairs are recruited from Eastern Europe. This form of domestic service is hidden behind formal rules, stating that the purpose of the au pair system is to let young people get to know Sweden and to learn the Swedish language. Instead, the au pair’s are being used as cheap labour power without being entitled to any labour or civil rights. In this example of commodification though, labour power is not totally disembodied. It is embodied in the sense that some social categories are looked upon as more suitable than others for performing paid household work.
