Time and the Garden of Eden Illusion

ABSTRACTThis article explores the timelessness of idealised psychic retreats and then describes the traumatic impact of time as the patient emerges from the retreat to face reality. The Garden of Eden Illusion involves a retreat where time stands still. Everything is perfect but nothing changes, there is no development, no frustration, no losses and no passion. When the patient confronts the real world, he is introduced to the facts of life and, for each of these facts, time is significant. If the trauma of disillusion is too abrupt or the pain of waiting too severe, defences are mounted against the impact of reality. These involve misrepresentations of the facts of life in which experiences that involve time are repudiated in favour of instant solutions based on omnipotence. These misrepresentations of reality easily become erotised to create perverse scenarios with an addictive quality that are particularly resistant to change. It is possible to delineate Narcissistic Perversions, Oedipal Perversions and Romantic Perversions as defences against time in relation to each of Money-Kyrle’s facts of life.

Multiculturalism: A Critical Study of Chinua Achebe's Selected Novels

Reclaiming for one’s root doesn’t state that one has no root. As long as one has roots intact, one survives; and if one is uprooted or one’s roots are undiscovered, one dies. But they try their best to grow new roots amidst adverse circumstances to face reality. Cut off from cultural roots, they adopt a quest for self. In the contemporary literary criticism, roots and multiculturalism are the topics, dealt in by many novelists of repute in postcolonial literature. It can be observed that nowadays people are not only conscious of their own culture and tradition but claim superiority of their own over other’s culture. The present paper thus aims to present the cultural ambivalence that Chinua Achebe recorded in his novels Things Fall Apart and No Longer At Ease. When the Europeans came to colonize Africa, they bring with them their own culture. Achebe, in these two novels portrays the plight of the Nigerian people they face due to the mixing of the two different cultures. He draws both the pre colonial and colonial period with their both negative and positive sides. His No Longer at Ease is on corruption, which Achebe believes is brought by the Europeans to Africa. And his Things Fall Apart criticizes Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness where Conrad documented that civilization of Africa took place during the time of colonial period. Achebe’s protagonists were able to retain a sense of their pre-colonial glory, history considerably, however affected the culture and heritage in the ancient aroma. But in Africa, the ‘falcon could not hear the falconer and the center could not hold’ and eventually things did fall apart. Hence, the paper is also an attempt to examine the misrecognition of the Nigerian Culture by the dominating Europeans. DOI: 10.5958/2347-6869.2018.00004.3

The Role of Feedback in Developing Reflective Competence

Abstract The role of feedback is unquestionably crucial in a teachers’ profession. In our context of teacher education giving effective feedback is also an essential skill and tool of pedagogical evaluation for developmental purposes when educating university students and future teachers. Effective feedback fosters development, gives guidance, opens windows and new opportunities. In addition, the descriptive nature of feedback has a lot more potentials and positive effect on the teacher-student relationship than traditional assessment. In addition, giving and receiving feedback can be considered the starting point of reflection. Only by having looked into ‘the mirror’ first can one face reality, review and analyse an experience and learn from it. As a result, teaching effective feedback skills through experiential learning is a very important element in reflective teacher education. Taking all the above into consideration, a lot of emphasis is put on teaching effective feedback skills at our Centre for Teacher Education of Károli Gáspár University. Moreover, we aim at changing our students’ perspectives in assessment practice through creating a more positive feedback culture. Giving and receiving feedback effectively can only be learnt by practice and reflecting on the experience. The ultimate aim is to develop our trainees’ reflective competence which serves as a basis for their continuous professional development. Our paper first aims at interpreting feedback from a pedagogical point of view and presenting our best practice in the context of developing trainees’ reflective competence. We shall also give details of everyday practice: how it is incorporated into the pedagogy, psychology and methodology seminars in preservice training. Finally, we shall discuss how and why developing feedback skills is also incorporated into our programme of school placement and mentor training.

Шекспир и XX век: У. Шекспир, Т. Уайлдер и «женский вопрос»

<p>В культуре XX в. прежние представления о человеке и его природе, гуманности и гуманизме подверглись существенному пересмотру, стали предметом острой полемики и глубоких сомнений. В этих условиях классическая литературная традиция — и У. Шекспир как ее ключевая фигура — обрели особое значение, став опорой для тех писателей, которые стремились к новому утверждению гуманистических ценностей. Статья посвящена своеобразному диалогу с Шекспиром классика американской литературы Торнтона Уайлдера (1897–1975). Одна из отличительных черт этого писательского разговора — его обращенность к современной действительности; он затрагивает самые разные стороны бытия, в том числе и так называемый женский вопрос.</p><p>Примером служит анализ романа Уайлдера «Теофил Норт» (1973). Время действия романа — 1920-е годы, уже после того, как девятнадцатой поправкой к Конституции США (1920) женщинам было дано право голоса. Уайлдер показывает, что<del cite="mailto:Hamlet" datetime="2017-05-10T12:01"> </del><ins cite="mailto:Hamlet" datetime="2017-05-10T12:04"> </ins>перед женщинами стоит трудная задача внутренней перестройки своего сознания, преодоления сложных обстоятельств, собственных страхов и предрассудков. Шекспир и его героини предстают в романе Уайлдера как один из самых мощных источников вдохновения для современных женщин.</p><p>Героини шекспировских комедий — волевые, свободолюбивые, деятельные — обладают силой воображения и способностью к игре, что является, по Уайлдеру (и по Шекспиру), примером верного отношения к действительности. Их «игра», их «юмористический ум» — это способность видеть действительность в истинном свете и не уклоняться от нее. Центральным эпизодом для этой линии романа является история Майры, через Шекспира открывающей для себя новый мир.</p><p>Как и в пьесах Шекспира, в романе Уайлдера движение женщины к свободе побуждает и мужчин продвигаться в этом направлении, объединяет мужчин и женщин<ins cite="mailto:1234" datetime="2017-05-06T21:26"> как </ins>свободных и равных людей. <del cite="mailto:Hamlet" datetime="2017-05-10T12:02">В </del><ins cite="mailto:Hamlet" datetime="2017-05-10T12:02">В</ins><ins cite="mailto:Hamlet" datetime="2017-05-10T12:02"> </ins>«содружестве» с Шекспиром Уайлдер утверждает глубоко гуманистическое представление о личности, о задачах современных <ins cite="mailto:1234" datetime="2017-05-06T21:27">людей<del cite="mailto:Hamlet" datetime="2017-05-10T12:01"> </del></ins><del cite="mailto:Hamlet" datetime="2017-05-10T12:01"> </del><ins cite="mailto:Hamlet" datetime="2017-05-10T12:02"> </ins>на пути самопознания в изменившихся обстоятельствах их взаимоотношений; уайлдеровская трактовка «женского вопроса» сохраняет, по мнению автора, свою актуальность.</p>

I gamified my courses and I hate that…

PurposeGamification seems to solve all our problems in education. Students become engaged and motivated – they learn so much more than in the traditional system. Conducting lessons becomes a pleasure, an adventure, a catharsis! While checking attendance, participation, quizzes, tasks, assignments, projects, missions, and quests on a daily basis is a bliss. Unfortunately, that is not true. That is only a dream or part of the advertising campaign of yet another so-called professional or seasoned gamifier. Preparing, organising, and designing gamified courses are not a stroll in a park. Every teacher must forsake leisure and family time alike unless they have ample support from colleagues, administration, and IT department. The purpose of this paper is to present the author’s approach to gamification and share some insight into the author’s experience from designing gamified courses and workshops since 2009.Design/methodology/approachThis paper concentrates on hands-on experience, mistakes, and solutions in order to approach a major issue: should we introduce gamification in education at all?FindingsIn reality, gamification can be the root of all evil if done too hastily, too cheerfully, and without prior understanding of students’ needs, school facilities, and our own abilities. Gamifying a classroom (or a whole school) is a massive project which should be managed with all risks, weaknesses, and threats possible to imagine. That is why, it is advisable to know what to expect, what to fear, and what to avoid in order to choose the path of righteousness, to master the trade, and to reach everlasting glory. When discussing gamification in education, we must face reality, we need to understand what gamification can provide, but also what it can devour. Educational milieu is too sensitive and our students are too precious to apply unverified solutions without the adequate preparations.Originality/valueThe author offers a few answers to the question as well as a handful of suggestions towards the successful introduction of gamification in education.

아깟담껑 라피팟의 『세속의 길』 에 나타난 태국의 성스러운 삶과 세속적인 삶의 대비

This paper focuses on the choice made by an ex-convict in “The Secular Way” by Akatdamkoeng Raphiphat, who feels out of his element among the sacred, to find a new life more suitable to his nature and lead a secular life. He feels pain rather than bliss near his fiancée, who is a devoted Buddhist. Hence, he chooses instead a prostitute who understands him and wishes to leave her old life to be his new companion. The sacred, who repress material wants, and the secular, who face reality and accept their material wants, process happiness in different ways. The author proposes the separation of life styles and roles of the sacred and the secular in order for the two to coexist while still maintaining their own ways of life without interference or confrontation. There is also an aspect of enlightenment that calls for religions such as Buddhism to make an effort to understand the situation of those from a lower socioeconomic level rather than fixating on protecting the sacred, in order to gain popularity.

Corporate power is corporate purpose I: evidence from my hometown

This paper considers a rather tired argument in corporate governance circles, that corporate laws only giving rights to stockholders somehow implicitly empower directors to regard other constituencies as equal ends in governance. By continuing to suggest that corporate boards themselves are empowered to treat the best interests of other corporate constituencies as ends in themselves, no less important than stockholders, scholars and commentators obscure the need for legal protections for other constituencies. As a case study, this paper examines what happened when an activist investor came to DuPont, illustrating how its board knew that they were expected to make their end investors’ best interests, even if that hurt other constituencies. This isn’t a story about bad people, but a reminder to those genuinely concerned for non-shareholder constituencies to face reality and support changes in the power dynamics affecting corporate governance that make regard for non-shareholder constituencies an obligation for business.

New Reality – New Problems. Financial Crime in Greater Poland in the Years 1945-1970

Abstract Systemic transformation in Poland after the Second World War led to deep transformations within the economy. It did not, however, change the way people thought. Despite the chaos of the post-war period, in which all the negative features shaped in the period of occupation manifested themselves, it seemed that the conceptual leaders of the Polish political and economic life would create new quality. However, it soon turned out that old habits die hard and the system created by communists opened a field for many abuses. This was accompanied by a sense of impunity, as the most prominent personalities in a given region were also involved in economic scandals. All this resulted in the creation of “cliques” in which both prominent Party activists and people put by the Party in high positions (usually also members of the Polish United Workers’ Party, PUWP) played important roles. On the one hand, after 1956, surveillance by the Security Office (UB) or Security Services (SB) was not that strict anymore, and on the other, the so-called “private initiative” started to develop fast – therefore the more “entrepreneurial” individuals started to exploit the situation and gain wealth. Abusing one’s position to organize large-scale thefts was considered relatively normal. This happened in various forms: sometimes directly, but more often by supporting or even organizing private projects with the use of the national, though unsupervised, supply of raw materials or products. This way, the Party members grew richer at the expense of the companies they worked for. This business was relatively widely tolerated by ordinary citizens, who saw it as an excuse to also “organize” goods individually for their own purposes in the companies which employed them. This common belief that “everybody steals” allowed people to justify their own dishonesty. Any attempts to fight this problem failed to produce satisfactory results. The diagnosis, even if correct, had to face reality, in which the pursuit of a better quality of life by the Party elites collided with the officially promoted ascetic lifestyles of the “ideological communists”, who, like Władysław Gomułka, did not understood the new times.

Crime Victims and Offenders in Mediation: An Emerging Area of Criminology and Correctional Administration

Criminologists are playing an increasing role in all fields of life, the mediation of conflict between crime victims and their offenders. By serving as community organizers, program developers and managers, trainers and mediators, Criminologists are affecting criminal justice system. In correction, Criminology not only helps individuals, groups and community to solve problems, but also assists them to prevent offending behaviour and enrich their living. So, the main focus of the Criminology is upon helping people to prevent and control crime. The Criminology usually works with clients on a conscious level, helping them to face realities and solve problems in preventing and controlling offending behaviours. Victim-offender mediation provides an opportunity for crime victims to meet the offender, talk about the offence, express concerns and negotiate a mutually agreeable restitution agreement. A brief overview of mediation process is presented in this paper. The issues related to program development and replication is also identified.

“Harden Up and Face Reality:” Exploring Underlying Bullying Beliefs in New Zealand

ABSTRACTA growing body of research illustrating the detrimental consequences of bullying has led to many antibullying interventions being developed. Despite good intentions, evidence suggests that such programs vary considerably in their efficacy. The current study examines the social discourse around bullying in the New Zealand environment in order to see whether underlying beliefs may undermine or influence approaches to mitigate bullying. The study employed an exploratory, qualitative approach of social discourses in the media. Using 31 online media articles, and 501 related online comments, methods of applied thematic analysis revealed three main themes which captured the beliefs that (a) victims of bullying are weak, (b) perpetrators of bullying are evil, and (c) bullying is a normal and, in some ways, acceptable behavior. Such findings illustrate the role that societal beliefs play in shaping the environment in which bullying occurs, and have important implications for future bullying research and interventions.

«Migros-Wald» oder Märchenwald? (Essay)

Fairytale forests must face reality (essay) Swiss forest enterprises are finding it increasingly difficult to fulfill the demands on the forest economically. The problem is complex. To address it, we analyzed this situation from the points of view of production, industrial and new institutional economics. Swiss forest enterprises are multi-product firms. They are usually publicly owned and aim to provide crucial ecosystem services for the economy in the form of private and public goods that are mostly closely connected with the production of wood. Providing these goods can be made more efficient, especially by adopting organizational measures involving cooperation and information technologies. Another more difficult but necessary measure is to ensure the required public goods are paid for. No incentives, market-like structures or tools for this have yet been introduced. This paper is a plea for providing public goods under private-sector conditions, changing management structures accordingly, even reducing the demands on the forest and developing market-based mechanisms for paying for the public goods.

Girls and Gender in Alice Munro’s Short Stories

This paper discusses how the young girl who is typically the first-person narrator in Alice Munro’s short stories, especially in the collection Dance of the Happy Shades, acquires a gender identity during childhood. The objective of this paper is to examine the possibilities for this narrator to establish her own principles based on women’s special qualities and personalities and to build a community for women. The organization of this paper follows the girl’s experiences through the mother’s domestic space and the father’s working space. Most of all, I focus on the characteristics of the narrating girl who does not understand the exact meaning of her parents’ behavior and attitude, but describes all that happens to her and reveals the hidden reality beyond the obvious world. Also, I pay attention to the gap between her dissatisfied moment with her mother and her unintentional disclosure of how her gendered identity has permeated her everyday life. I propose that the discordant relationship between the mother and the daughter gives rise to the possibility of her considering how to become an adult in future. In conclusion, this paper explores the possibility in Munro’s fiction to develop a new female figure that penetrates both gendered spaces. The most remarkable characteristics of characters that do so are the attention they pay to their everyday lives and their transformation into political subjects who face reality and have the ability to analyze their situation in their own voice.
