The Great Spirit of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar

Abstract Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, renowned as the chief architect of the Indian Constitution and a tireless advocate for social justice, has left an enduring impact on India’s socio-political landscape. This research essay delves into the multifaceted spirit of Ambedkar, emphasizing his profound engagement with Buddhism and the emergence of Neo-Buddhism as a potent catalyst for social transformation. His conversion to Buddhism symbolized a resolute renunciation of the entrenched caste hierarchy, heralding an embrace of the Buddha’s teachings that exalted the fundamental interconnectedness of all sentient beings.

Evaluating large language models’ ability to generate interpretive arguments

In natural language understanding, a crucial goal is correctly interpreting open-textured phrases. In practice, disagreements over the meanings of open-textured phrases are often resolved through the generation and evaluation of interpretive arguments, arguments designed to support or attack a specific interpretation of an expression within a document. In this paper, we discuss some of our work towards the goal of automatically generating and evaluating interpretive arguments. We have curated a set of rules from the code of ethics of various professional organizations and a set of associated scenarios that are ambiguous with respect to some open-textured phrase within the rule. We collected and evaluated arguments from both human annotators and state-of-the-art generative language models in order to determine the relative quality and persuasiveness of both sets of arguments. Finally, we performed a Turing test-inspired study in order to assess whether human annotators can tell the difference between human arguments and machine-generated arguments. The results show that machine-generated arguments, when prompted a certain way, can be consistently rated as more convincing than human-generated arguments, and to the untrained eye, the machine-generated arguments can convincingly sound human-like.

Abusing the unprotected ‘poor’: The prevalence of povertyist stigma and hate speech on unmoderated newspaper comment threads

The UK-wide Equality Act 2010 forbids discrimination based on age, sex, race, religion/belief, disability, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, and pregnancy and maternity – yet no such protections apply to people experiencing poverty and/or class-based inequalities. This legislative ‘blind-spot’ extends to UK media regulation, with most industry ethical codes prioritizing the same ‘protected characteristics’ as the law. As a result, legacy print news outlets and their audiences can freely publish statements about people in poverty that would be defined as hate speech; ruled in breach of ethical codes; and liable for potential prosecution if directed at protected groups. This article explores the prevalence of povertyist hatred on comments published on two conservative-leaning news-sites (www.telegraph.co.uk and www.dailymail.co.uk) in response to articles about rising labour shortages and ‘economic inactivity’ rates during the post-COVID-19 ‘cost-of-living crisis’. It exposes serious gaps in the legal and regulatory framework(s) around protected characteristics, while also posing difficult questions for editors and moderators about the (in)adequacy of their existing policies for safeguarding groups already protected by law.

Enron’s Collapse and the Emergence of a New Magnitude of Ethics within Corporate Governance

In this study, it is argued that the collapse of a single company – Enron – in the USA represented one of the most crucial factors underlying the emergence of ethics with a new dimension in the global business strategy. Enron, one of the most profitable companies in the USA in 1990s, experienced a completely unprecedented disaster and the ensuing investigations revealed that a lack of ethical integrity among the high officials was one of the most crucial reasons for the downfall of such an established company. Shortly after Enron collapse, a number of companies in different countries faced similar consequences and a crucial factor that they all appeared to share was unethical practices. The core aim of this study is to explore how the think-tanks in the corporate world made a quick response regarding the development of the ethical practices within the activities of corporations and how ethics gained greater magnitude within the administration of business activities. To achieve this aim, we undertook a comprehensive content analysis of the relevant secondary data substantiated by a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) attended by academics working in the field of corporate governance, in order to gain relevant insights in the study objectives. The scholarly views of the individuals who participated in the FGD, we believe, can add value to our results by enriching the study. The study findings suggest that the downfall of Enron immediately and hugely contributed towards raising the profile of ethics and the introduction of a series of ethical codes regarding corporate performances.

Linguistic and extralinguistic specificity of Russian and English texts of ethical codes in the diachronic aspect

The subject of the study is linguistic, extralinguistic and linguoculturological features that determine the specifics of English and Russian-language texts of ethical codes of banks in a comparative aspect throughout the XXI century. To analyze the specifics of the texts of ethical codes of banks (based on the material of English and Russian languages), descriptive and comparative methods are used in the article. The methodological basis is determined by a systematic approach based on the principle of consistency of linguistic phenomena, system analysis, as well as descriptive, inductive-deductive and comparative methods. In accordance with the systematic approach, the interrelation of structural, genre-content, linguistic and cultural features of the texts of banking discourse on the material of English and Russian languages is actualized.The scientific novelty consists in a comprehensive study and a systematic description of the structural, genre-content, linguistic features of the texts of ethical codes of leading English-speaking and Russian-speaking banks. For the first time, the analysis of the specifics of the texts of the banking discourse in a comparative aspect was carried out, as well as the specific structural, genre, semantic features of ethical codes as a new artifact of modern textual culture, and their transformation during the XXI century against the background of the realities of reality, namely before the 2020 pandemic and after. Thus, based on the analysis performed, it can be argued that bank texts in both languages, due to the active digitalization of society, are characterized by identical key structural, genre-content and language features. Nevertheless, Russian-language texts have made a huge transformational leap in terms of digital content and can be distinguished by a large spread of semiotically complicated polycode systems and the presence of creolized texts.

Etica în universitate. Strategii și atitudini proactive

The process of achieving an ethical university involves a series of actions, which can be categorized as follows: reactive actions – where the university reacts when there are violations of ethical codes within it, and proactive actions – where the university makes an effort to promote organizational virtues. The question I want to discuss in this article is, “What does it mean for a university to be proactive in promoting organizational virtues?” I will start with two studies to answer this question: a sociological study measuring the proactivity of managers in Romanian university institutions, conducted by Silvia Puiu and Radu Florin Ogarca, and the classification made by Gedeon J. Rossouw and Leon J. van Vuuren of the modes of ethical management. I will analyse the concept of proactivity starting from the comparison between the reactive mode and the integrity mode proposed by Rossouw and van Vuuren. I will develop this concept and define proactivity as the implementation of an ethical strategy. Additionally, I will outline the main elements of this strategy. The article will be structured as follows: (i) presentation of the results of the sociological investigation conducted by Puiu and Ogarca; (ii) presentation of a conceptual framework that can model the term “proactivity”; (iii) discussion of ethical codes as a limit case testing the reactive/proactive distinction; (iv) finally, outlining an answer to the question “How do we build an ethical university?”: virtues and systematic approach through defining a strategy.

The relationships between ethical codes of conduct, ethical supplier risks, and financial performance: a buyer-supplier perspective

Although ethical codes of conduct are commonly used in supply chain management, the effectiveness of the codes has been questionable and the ethical risks from a supplier are rarely examined in a buyer-supplier dyad. Drawing on the literature on supply management, business ethics, agency theory and stakeholder theory, we propose that both the buyer and supplier should adopt ethical codes of conduct in order to reduce ethical supplier risk and improve their financial performance. A survey of 200 pairs of matched manufacturers and suppliers was conducted from automotive, clothing, food and pharmaceutical industries in China. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data. Our findings show that the implementation of buyer (supplier)’s ethical codes positively relate to its financial performance, and the buyer’s ethical codes positively relate to the supplier’s financial performance through ethical supplier risk. Our findings provide new empirical evidence on the critical significance of ethical codes of conduct and the particular role of suppliers in the adoption of this initiative in a supplier-buyer dyad.
