Gendered constructions of good management by men school leaders: Between hegemonic and caring masculinity

This qualitative study explored the gendered constructions of good management by men school leaders. The research participants were 30 men school leaders in Israel, selected through purposive sampling. The study aimed to identify the dominant discourses of masculinity and how they shaped ideal school leadership practices. The authors conducted semi-structured interviews with the participants and used thematic analysis to explore the data. The findings suggest that the participants constructed good management using two prototypes of masculinity: hegemonic and caring. Hegemonic masculinity was associated with traditional managerial styles, such as being focused on the task and achieving excellence, using charismatic-visionary behaviours and a focus on resources and organizational structure. By contrast, caring masculinity involves more empowering behaviour styles, concern for others, and the distribution of power. To be regarded as good managers, some participants adopted an androgynous management style, indicating the ongoing struggles associated with the gender experiences of current men leaders.

Cultivating concern for others: Meditation training and motivated engagement with human suffering.

Contemplative traditions have long affirmed that compassion and kindness are trainable skills. While research on meditation practice has recently flourished, the mechanisms that might engender such changes are still poorly understood. Here, we present a motivational framework to explain why meditation training should increase concern for others and modulate empathic engagement with human suffering over time. Meditation practices are conceived as tools for enacting cognitive and emotion regulatory goals that are conditioned by the underlying ethical motivation of the training-to reduce and alleviate suffering. In support of this account, we present data from a randomized, wait-list-controlled study of intensive meditation. In Study 1, we use a novel cardiovascular index to show that 3 months of meditation training can increase the motivational salience of others' suffering, as compared to the salience of threats to oneself. In Study 2, we demonstrate that training-related changes in the ability to orient attention to suffering are mediated by the dynamic regulation of distress-related physiological arousal. Finally, in Study 3, we provide exploratory evidence suggesting that meditation training may influence how human suffering is encoded in memory, leaving lasting imprints on the recollection of emotional experience. Together, our findings suggest that meditation training can strengthen the motivational relevance of others' suffering, prompting a shift from self-focused to other-focused evaluative processing. Considering meditation training from a motivational standpoint offers an important perspective for understanding how compassion can be cultivated through intentional practice.

Evolution of the institute of abuse of right

The abuse of right is an important institution in the legal system. Although the concept and methods of its use may differ from country to country, the basic concept remains the same: an individual cannot use his legal rights to harm others or to achieve an illegal goal. The historical background of the institution of abuse of right to be traced on the example of Roman law, which introduced the concepts of contra bonos mores (from Latin to harm the moral well-being of society) and in fraudem legis agere (from Latin to act contrary to the law), which today are considered forms of abuse of right. It is important to note that the doctrine of the «abuse of right» in ancient Greece was limited by the fragmentary nature of the surviving legal and philosophical texts. Unlike Roman law, which had a complex legal system and was represented by numerous legal works, ancient Greek legal thought is known mainly through philosophical treatises and historical narratives. As a result, specific discussions of «abuse of right» in ancient Greek sources are unfortunately hard to come by. However, the general ideas of moderation, concern for others, and the pursuit of justice nevertheless indicate a concern and responsible use of rights in ancient Greek society, even if this concept, compared to Roman law, was not clearly formulated. In the Middle Ages, in the Anglo-Saxon law, the theory of abuse of rights developed through the concepts of equity. In the period of recent history (from the middle of the XV century to the end of the XIX – the beginning of the XX century), this institute continues to develop and adapt to the changing conditions of modern society. Some countries, such as France, were among the first to attempt to legislate abuse of rights in their Civil Code. Over time, other jurisdictions have incorporated the statute of abuse of right into their domestic legislation. This concept is also reflected in international law, where it can be applied in the context of human rights, private law, and other fields. The modern understanding of the abuse of right assumes that the use of the right can be recognized as abuse if it does not correspond to its true purpose, harms the interests of other persons or society, and does not comply with the principle of justice. Based on the research and established judicial practice, we conclude that at least one of the following four conditions must be used to establish «abuse of the right»: 1. The predominant motivation for using the right is to cause harm. 2. There is no legal basis for exercising its right. 3. The exercise of the right contradicts the principle of contra bonos mores or violates good faith or justice. 4. The right is not used for its intended purpose. Key words: abuse of right, the Roman law, principle of the inadmissibility of the abuse of right, judicial discretion, principle of good faith, principle of justice.

A Case Study Comparing the Life Skills Development and Knowledge in Youth Participants of Horseless and Traditional Horse Programs in Utah

This study compared four horseless and seven traditional horse participants from Washington County 4-H in Utah for horse knowledge gained and for the development of 10 life skills from Hendricks’s Targeting Life Skills Model: leadership, teamwork, self-responsibility, personal safety, problem-solving, decision-making, critical thinking, goal setting, communication, and concern for others. This study’s mixed methods design employed interviews to learn about life skill development and quantitative data from a 20-item horse knowledge quiz and demographic survey. The traditional horse youth showed greater development of leadership, self-responsibility, decision-making, goal setting, and communication than the horseless youth. Roughly half of the participants in both groups experienced having concern for others in their program, but both programs lacked the development of critical thinking and problem-solving. As for horse knowledge, traditional horse participant scores were 15% to 40% better than horseless participants. The horseless participants lacked knowledge on the parts of a western saddle and horsemanship. Recommendations for future research include observational research in addition to participants’ self-perceived data, perspectives of the adult leaders, and pre-post test data to track the growth of life skills and horse knowledge in horseless and traditional horse participants.

PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION IS APPLIED PHILOSOPHY; DYNAMIC PROCESS; AGAINST IDEOLOGICAL INDOCTRINATION; CONCERNS PEDAGOGICAL OBJECTIVES: A LITERATURE REVIEW

It is strongly considered that the philosophy of education is a potential branch of practical philosophy in pedagogy. It investigates the nature of education as well as its objectives and obstacles. It also includes the examination of educational theories, the presuppositions present in them, and the arguments for and against them. Education can, generally, be defined as a taxonomical process through which a student or an adult gains cognition, experience, skill and reliable attitude. It makes an individual, knowledgeable, civilized, refined, cultured, accommodative, wise and enlightened. In order to have a civilized and socialized society, education is the only reliable means across the world. A country’s core values of culture are considered by what is taught in its educational institutions. Some of the values are: individualism, cleanliness, languages, achievements, work, morality, concern for others, value of time, equality, social liberty etc. In addition to it, ideological indoctrination plays a vital role in imparting dogmatism or blind faith and so it should be eliminated from teaching. By and large, the goal of education is to make an individual consummate personally, morally and socially. According to Benjamin Bloom, education is categorized into cognitive domain, psychomotor domain and affective domain.

Compassionate Capitalism: Understanding the Juxtaposition of Personal Gain and Concern for Others

This article explores the concept of Compassionate Capitalism, which involves creating sustainable business models benefiting society and employees. Through Compassionate Capitalism, business owners can build trust with their customers and stakeholders, and in turn, enhance their long-term profitability through the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) structure. The article also discusses the historical perspectives on Capitalism and articulates how Capitalism can coexist with compassion. It highlights the ESOP as a present-day example of Compassionate Capitalism, where employees are given a financial stake in the company for which they are employed. ESOPs redistribute ownership to the workforce and create a unique form of Capitalism that continues a successful company’s tradition. The ESOP benefits the younger members of a company, enhances retirement security, and creates a sense of ownership among employees. The article explains how employee ownership can align the interests of workers with those of management, creating a more collaborative, equitable workplace, contributing to greater overall economic growth. This article includes a case study examining a defense contractor's decision to become an employee-owned company through an ESOP transaction in 2010. The ESOP consulting firm, Executive Financial Services (EFS), provided a feasibility analysis and implementation for the transaction. Over the next decade, the company grew rapidly and eventually sold for $1.6 billion in 2020, creating hundreds of millionaires among the ESOP participants. This decision exemplifies the Compassionate Capitalism model, where the owners chose to honor and support the employees who helped build the company, creating generational wealth opportunities for myriad families. The decision to become an employee-owned company through an ESOP transaction shows that Capitalism and compassion can be compatible.

Young children as citizens: Learning from practice in the early childhood setting

This paper examines enactments of young children’s citizenship in early childhood settings in England, which is an under researched area, in this study young children are positioned as social actors, competent and capable of making decisions and enacting citizenship. Values, child rights and citizenship are interconnected and often inseparable in practice. A mixed methods multiple-case study was conducted in England across several early childhood settings in the private and independent sector. Our findings indicate that young children enact citizenship through micro acts embedded into their day-to-day activities; such acts are often spontaneous in response to events or interactions. These are often pro-social in nature comprised as behaviours such as helping or showing concern for others. Our findings give visibility to the distinctive ways in which young children may enact citizenship including, for example, physical expressions.

Word embeddings reveal growing moral concern for people, animals and the environment.

The Enlightenment idea of historical moral progress asserts that civil societies become more moral over time. This is often understood as an expanding moral circle and is argued to be tightly linked with language use, with some suggesting that shifts in how we express concern for others can be considered an important indicator of moral progress. Our research explores these notions by examining historical trends in natural language use during the 19th and 20th centuries. We found that the associations between words denoting moral concern and words referring to people, animals, and the environment grew stronger over time. The findings support widely-held views about the nature of moral progress by showing that language has changed in a way that reflects greater concern for others.

Home (bayit) and Bread (lechem): Masculine Power and Female Authority in the Book of Ruth

A deep look at the Book of Ruth reveals a two-dimensional model that reflects two alternative realities of gender. One perception strives to manage the world and resolve its problems. It is an orientation based on justice, rules, and individualistic logic, and even a certain degree of manipulation. The other exists within human reality and is based on concern for others, sensitivity, and mutual responsibility. Although these perceptions are obviously not necessarily representative of different genders, they are often associated as such and can be referred to as masculine and feminine, respectively. This paper demonstrates how the story of Ruth in its entirety revolves around the tension between these two perceptions, until they ultimately merge into one.
 

니체가 본 중국적인 도덕과 맹자의 윤리 비교 연구

Nietzsche divides morality into the morality of the master (the noble) and the morality of the slave (the non- noble), and criticizes the Christian morality of Europe at the time when Nietzsche lived as slave morality and Chinese morality. Nietzsche’s main morality is the morality of those who affirm everything, including aggression, are energetic, evaluate value independently, and create value. Slave morality, on the other hand, is an altruistic morality derived from resentment against the strong, not from the human subject, which makes humans inactive and dwarfed. However, Mencius says that altruistic morality is morality derived from the subject. Mencius refers to heart of compassion(惻隱之心) that cannot be cruel to others, and says that heart of compassion is a clue to sensitive concern for others(仁) that everyone has. And Mencius emphasized that politics based on the people should be based on heart of compassion and sensitive concern for others. In addition, Mencius says that this heart of compassion doesn’t make human be dwarfed, and belongs to a heart(心)-human nature(性)-sky(天) structure. It connects with human nature and an intrinsic and transcendent sky. This also contrasts with the content that Nietzsche’s master/slave morality arises from the conditions of life in reality. Through this basis, I think it is not reasonable for Nietzsche to view Chinese morality as altruistic slave morality.

THE WOMEN'S PHILANTHOPIC MOVEMENT DURING THE COVID-19 PENDEMIC

The purpose of this study is to prove that stereotypes about women are gentle and protective, and irrational because they are only suitable in the domestic sector and are not worthy of being driving actors in the field of philanthropy. However, these stereotypes do not always have a negative impact, but under certain conditions they actually raise concern for vulnerable groups in the era covid-19 pandemic. This can be proven in the women's movement, the community of Kartini UIN SUKA, a community engaged in education and the Fetus and womb community which is engaged in mental health by direct interviews and using content analysis on the Fetus and Womb community Instragram which is strengthened, supported by observations and data from journals and websites. This study concludes that, during the Covid-19 pandemic, with limited space and movement due to the WFH policy, women formed a community engaged in philanthropy as a form of concern for others affected by Covid-19. Providing assistance to students in the form of groceries and educating women on mental health through virtual space is a movement that is urgently needed during the Covid-19 pandemic. This movement is not only beneficial to recipients but is also able to provide a stimulus to other groups to be motivated to foster a diverse attitude towards others even in limited circumstances. The act of driving philanthropy as well as being an actor of change is a way to break through patriarchal culture.

Determinants of Competitive Negotiation Style in Agribusiness Trade of High Value Food Crop Products in Tanzania: Evidence from Middlemen in Arusha, Tanzania

This paper explored the role of competitive negotiation style in agribusiness food value addition in Tanzania with insights from Arusha, Tanzania. Cross sectional survey of 280 middlemen were involved in the commodity’s value chain in Arusha main markets. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine main factors contributing to competitive negotiation style but also on their disaggregated effect on agribusiness trade performance. The results showed that competitive negotiation style through self view point, self gain, self win and self outcome had a negative effect on agribusiness performance. In this study it was found that competitive negotiation style had negative significant impact on agribusiness trade performance. The model had high concern for self and low concern for others. The low concern for others had been founded to add negative performance and made it to be the highest negative impacted model. In this notion once one side of the negotiating part found to have less considered by other part the negotiation process tends to be hard with negative performance. It was concluded that competitive negotiation style was not effective model on high value crops but it can be done in a non-competing way (competing-un-competing). Competitive negotiation style can further be reflected on diplomatic arena as non-productive way of conflict and disputes management, in leadership and interpersonal relationship.
