Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński – a man of dialogue

Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński was not only an “unbreakable Primate”, but above all, a man of dialogue. He was able to meet every person and to talk to them. In his conversations, he listened patiently, he did not impose his opinion and he was mostly trying to seek for common levels of agreement. According to him, the greatest wisdom is to be able to unite, not to divide.
 The article indicates some sources and forms of this dialogue. It was a supernatural source and a natural one. The first one is a permanent dialogue of the Primate with God, as well as with the Blessed Mother and with saints. Cardinal Wyszyński was a man of deep prayer, and he undeniably took from this source strength for everyday meetings, conversations, and making decisions. The second crucial source was his philosophico-theological education. As a Christian personalist, the Primate took from the achievements of such thinkers as Aristotle, St. Thomas, St. Augustin, as well as J. Maritain, G. Marcel, J. Woroniecki, and W. Korniłowicz.
 The article discusses some aspects of dialogue with people, taking into account, above all, two social groups: youth, and , and representatives of the communist state power. Presenting Cardinal Wyszyński as a man of dialogue seems to be very useful and topical nowadays because of different controversies and disputes occurring in our state, in our Church and in relationships between the older and the younger generation.

Promocja i intensyfikacja komunikacji interpersonalnej bezpośredniej rodzic – dziecko, nauczyciel – uczeń w świecie technokracji i osaczania kapitałem materialnym.

<p>Reizacja człowieka (łac. res – rzecz), szczególnie dziecka, czyli osaczanie na ogromną skalę światem materialnym, w tym szczególnie gadżetami medialnymi, to aktualnie jeden z największych problemów psychologicznych i pedagogicznych i zarazem jedno z największych wyzwań. <br />Świat rzeczy to także piękny świat, dziś także świat multimediów, które bardzo pomagają w codziennym życiu, szczególnie w kontekście pandemii, ale równocześnie wszystko to wymaga wielkiej mądrości, aby nie zniszczyć świata bezcennych relacji międzyludzkich, interpersonalnych – międzyosobowych, bezpośrednich, face to face, bliskości, które są szczególnie ważne i bezcenne dla prawidłowego rozwoju dziecka i każdego człowieka, zawsze i wszędzie.<br />Celem niniejszych badań jest zwrócenie uwagi na powyższy problem i szczególna mobilizacja do promowania i wzmacniania super ważnych i bezwzględnie koniecznych relacji interpersonalnych bezpośrednich, których zauważa się poważny deficyt. W tej kwestii wydaje się, że iż badania są ciągle konieczne. Wielu nauczycieli z moich osobistych rozmów i wywiadów potwierdza potężny deficyt wiedzy o komunikacji interpersonalnej wśród rodziców a także trudność z jej asymilacją w życiu codziennym, z powodu między innymi tempa życia i przeniesienia komunikacji w komunikację zapośredniczoną medialnie. Promowanie i permanentny trening komunikacji interpersonalnej od najmłodszych lat przez rodziców i nauczycieli z dziećmi i uczniami, a także między sobą to nadzieja na uratowanie esencji człowieczeństwa i społeczeństwa.</p>

Catalyst Twenty-Twenty: Post-Traumatic Growth at Scales of Person, Place and Planet

Planetary health is a broad multidisciplinary effort that attempts to address what has been described as “Anthropocene Syndrome”—the wicked, interrelated challenges of our time. These include, but are not limited to, grotesque biodiversity losses, climate change, environmental degradation, resource depletion, the global burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), health inequalities, social injustices, erosion of wisdom and civility, together with the many structural underpinnings of these grand challenges. The ultimate aim of planetary health is flourishing along every link in the person, place and planet continuum. The events of “2020” have illuminated the consequences of “mass trauma” and how sub-threshold anxiety and/or depressive symptoms erase the rigid lines between mental “health” and mental “disorders”, and unmasked the systemic forms of injustice, discrimination, and oppression that have too often escaped discourse. Here, we query the ways in which post-traumatic growth research might inform the larger planetary health community, especially in the context of a global pandemic, broadening socioeconomic inequalities, a worsening climate crisis, and the rise of political authoritarianism. The available research would suggest that “2020” fulfills the trauma criteria of having a “seismic impact on the assumptive world”, and as such, provides fertile ground for post-traumatic growth. Among the many potential positive changes that might occur in response to trauma, we focus on the value of new awareness, perspective and greater wisdom.

The Pedagogy of Suffering: Four Fragments

This paper is a collection of small, formal and informal writings and is part of the early groundwork we have been doing together on the topic of the pedagogy of suffering, a phrase that has certainly given pause to many colleagues we have spoken to. We are trying to understand and articulate how and why suffering can be pedagogical in character and how it is often key to authentic and meaningful acts of teaching and learning. We are exploring threads from both the hermeneutic tradition and from Buddhism, in order to decode our understandable rush to ameliorate suffering at every turn and to consider every instance of it as an error to be avoided at all costs. We also look to these traditions to begin to formulate how a pedagogy that turns away from suffering suffers a great loss, and how a pedagogy that turns towards suffering can become a locale of great teaching and learning, great wisdom and grace.

The Teaching Curriculum of Al-Asfiaih School in the Decrees is a Model

Obligatory is one of the greatest and most honourable sciences. It is Allah almighty who has ensured his status where he imposed the inheritances detailed by his great wisdom and divided among his people with his vast mercy. The Prophet’s Sunnah then explained the provisions of the inheritances by the concerted news and the famous relics. This knowledge was disseminated among the Sahaba, and those who followed them are jurists, even several of them have learned from themselves, and they have not returned him as a father, like all other sections of jurisprudence, and they have made great efforts in achieving the rules of inheritance, scrutinizing its titles and scrutinizing its issues to the point where they do not aspire to more. On this sober approach,Al-Asfias choolin Fallujah has been going since the beginning of its founding in teaching this science and taking care of it by adopting the curricula received by scholars by accepting away from extremism and extremism, including the Book of Rahbia of imam, Abu Abdullah Mohammed bin Ali bin Mohammed bin Mohammed bin Al-Hassan al-Rahbi died 577H. We wanted to highlight this book and the way it was taught through this research.
 Keywords: The curriculum of the teaching of Al-Asfiaih school.

Two superordinate themes emerged along with ten subordinate themes. The key findings are that the participants of both groups found them to be a valuable experience and self-defined the impact on their ministries as: creating more reflective clergy; developing greater wisdom; building and gaining affirmed strategies for relationships within their parishes; enabling different perspectives on management expectations; developing self-preservation strategies for coping; improving priestly skills; managing boundaries more appropriately; managing situations in more helpful ways; and discerning what God may be saying in certain situations.

Achievement of the Ancient Hindu way of Propagation of Education and suggestion of incorporation of some of the methods in the teaching of the modern Medical Education in India: Look back to go forward

The great Author F. Max Muller said that if written scripts were not invented the Indian scholars would have retained the treasure house of the knowledge of the Hindus in their memory even today with the same efficiency as of today’s written world of knowledge. The question appears here is what went wrong? Why the students cannot be taught how to learn a vast amount of literature as efficiently as the Hindus did for 9 millennia and more.Medical science is progressing in a quick stride. The amount of research materials being updated daily is very high. Expectations of patients and their attendants are also increasing day by day. The modern-day treating Doctors need to be aware of more things today than a hundred years back. The studies show that many patients may suffer from death or complications if their treating Doctors are not learned enough. It cannot be overemphasized that a learned Healer is way better than one who is half learned. The present-day experimentation with the teaching methods of the medical subjects needs to be revisited, at least in India. The experimentation of teaching the teachers in newer teaching methods and the introduction of the ATCOM module may or may not bear fruit. The involvement of non-treating faculties in imparting crucial parts of teaching like attitudes and communications in the hospital high tension areas will not be successful. Just the way a great Chef cannot train a Sniper, the same way this will surely fail. The proper person at a proper teaching position should be followed. A short advanced course in Medical Education, A short Fellowship or publication of few papers on education will not convert a Nontreating faculty equivalent to the faculty of Surgery. Theoretically, it sounds good,but in reality, it probably won’t work. The students would bein confusion. How can a teacher who has never faced a murderous mob or faced an intra-operative death or even diagnose a patient to cure him/her would teach how to behave in such scenarios? In such chaos, we thought of looking back on the historical aspects of the ancient medical education system and see if the great wisdom of the Hindu civilization can be utilized to improve the present Medical education system in India.It cannot be denied that the ancient Hindus had a system of Medicine far superior to whatever existed in the west.Great treatises were written in later times. These were learned and remembered by the students quite efficiently. The students often raised the standards to higher than those of their teachers. Such an efficient system needs to be paid attention to and if possible initiate some steps to bring back the great and lost glory of the system of medicine in practice. Teachers of the ancient period were known by the names of Acharya, Upadhyay, Charakas, and Guru.The learning methods were Storytelling, Memorization, hands-on methods, Critical analysis, Seminar, and finally Question – Answer sessions.The great Sushruta, maintained that Surgery was the most important subject of all. It was considered the first and foremost of the medical subjects. Maybe this should be looked into and Surgeons are brought in to take care of the higher medical education programs to make the teaching of the Higher medical learning strong and efficient.In this work, we tried to focus on such steps, which is incorporated in the education system of modern medical science in India, should improve the quality of the students. As a result, they will be better healers, and lives will be saved.

The Historical Value and Contemporary Role of Vernacular Wisdom: The Case of Zengchong Village

Vernacular heritage embodies the great wisdom used by the ancients over thousands of years to create their habitats. By adhering to vernacular wisdom, the unique production modes and lifestyles shown in vernacular heritage created an ideal harmonious living environment in consensus with nature using orderly and rational methods for using natural resources. This study analyses the value of vernacular wisdom, establishes a content system based on three factors, i.e., human needs, productivity and nature from the perspective of the human–nature relationship, and observes that the value of vernacular wisdom is to co-ordinate responses to human–nature conflicts. The representative vernacular wisdom of Zengchong Village, a Dong village in Guizhou Province, China can be summarised into three types: wisdom about physiological needs reflected in the combination of agricultural production with highly intensive living space systems and survival skills to make the best use of everything; wisdom about security needs reflected in the barn, fire-prevention and flood-control systems; and wisdom about self-actualisation, esteem, love or belonging reflected in social interaction and self-management, religious beliefs and identity. In addition to the conservation of the built vernacular heritage, vernacular wisdom should be emphasised in village planning and management to co-ordinate responses to new human–nature conflicts. Thus, a state of balance between human needs, productivity and nature can be achieved to realise the goal of sustainable rural heritage development.

Reflections on wisdom at the end of life: qualitative study of hospice patients aged 58-97 years.

Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 21 hospice patients aged 58-97 years who were in the last six months of their life. Hospice patients were asked to describe the core characteristics of wisdom, as well as how their terminal illness might have impacted their understanding of this concept. The interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and coded by the research team using a grounded theory analytic approach based on coding consensus, co-occurrence, and comparison. Broad concepts of wisdom described by the hospice patients align with the extant literature, thereby supporting those general conceptualizations. In addition, hospice patients described how their life perspectives shifted after being diagnosed with a terminal illness. Post-illness wisdom can be characterized as a dynamic balance of actively accepting the situation while simultaneously striving for galvanized growth. This delicate tension motivated the patients to live each day fully, yet consciously plan for their final legacy. The end of life offers a unique perspective on wisdom by highlighting the modulation between actively accepting the current situation while continuing the desire to grow and change at this critical time. This paradox, when embraced, may lead to even greater wisdom while facing one's own mortality.

Problems of Old-Age Pension Reform in China’s Colleges and Universities

In China, school and hospital staff account for approximately 70% of the total staff in public institutions. In the second half of 2014, the central government embarked on the old-age pension reform of public institutions that would be introduced in 2015. The pension reform of colleges and universities is considered the bellwether of this reform. Nowadays, the old-age pension reform of administrative units has already started, but the reform of colleges and universities has not been implemented yet. This article attempts to explain the slow progress in pension reform and propose corresponding solutions. A breakthrough in this regard requires great political wisdom and sufficient financial support. Only in this way can the entire society address social conflicts, solve practical problems, and achieve ideal reform goals.

Commerce Ethics of Muhammad PBUH’ and Universal Values in Era of Prophet Hood

<p>Muhammad PBUH, primarily business along with his father since as early as his childhood. Whilst he grown up, he commenced to setup his own venture and also have a joint venture with Siti Khadijah based on mudharabah scheme. He is gifted with great wisdom in trading and has allowed him gaining great benefit through it. Due to his moral in trading, it leads to his marriage with Siti Khadijah. Unquestionably there were features on the ethics and morals in the trade that Muhammad PBUH has represented. A matter of concern was his morality that shown during trade leads to his marriage with Siti Khadijah who was initially his business colleague previously and what was the commercial strategy that empowers him to a vast profit during trading. Thus, this study endeavor to define and detail the ethics and morals in trading that has been shown by Muhammad PBUH prior his prophet hood. The results of this study display the conflicting fact in practices that has been applied amongst the community back at that time. His is abundant in honest, fairness, friendly and compassionate to the buyer, and never set up a high price, and also detail in transaction record consequential him loved by many people. Alongside the combination of his aptitude in negotiation and intelligence, he was proficient to “read” the market opportunities and learning cultural and geographical conditions of each target market led him to higher profits than other merchants. In addition, this study also articulated sixteen Muhammad PBUH’ universal values in commerce such; honest, trustworthy, fair, polite and affectionate in trade, buy-sell applies only based on mutual consent, not involved in usurious practices', only legitimate and permitted item that will sell, avoid argument with partners and buyers, no oath in the name of idols, hoarding the goodies (<em>ikhtisar</em>) is not allowed, damaged item’ replacement policy, avoid competition on price, small profits is acceptable, pay his employee as soon as the job is done, always record transaction, and be generous. Those ethics and values actually resemble to such practice by Islamic merchants to highlight Islamic values in commerce nowadays.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keyword</strong>: <em>Trading Business Ethics, Muhammad PBUH, prior to prophet hood.</em></p><p><em> </em></p>

Principle of Internet of Intelligences and Development of its Core Technology

The network platform connecting multiple agents, which is embedded in the models to integrate individual wisdoms into a great wisdom, is called Internet of intelligences (IOI). The risk radar can be driven by IOI with mathematical models written by PHP language. A measure space of the seismic macro-anomalies group was set up in IOI based the consensus of the staffs participating earthquake monitoring and prediction. The core technology in IOI is information diffusion technology, and its intelligent development depends on the appearance of intelligent mathematics on earth. By means of the development of the factor space theory to construct IOI expressing knowledge and being cognizant of thinking, we should promote the research of “Internet + Risk Analysis” and promote the development of Web mathematics, and lay the foundation for intelligent mathematics. The IOI supported by Web mathematics is expected to decompose and dissolve wisdom ingredients in some factor spaces so that individual wisdoms are integrated to be a great wisdom.

Wisdom and How to Cultivate It

Abstract. Some folk beliefs characterize wisdom as an essence – a set of immutable characteristics, developing as a consequence of an innate potential and extraordinary life experiences. Emerging empirical scholarship involving experiments, diary, and cross-cultural studies contradicts such folk beliefs. Characteristics of wise thinking, which include intellectual humility, recognition of uncertainty and change, consideration of different perspectives, and integration of these perspectives, is highly variable across situations. Cumulatively, empirical research suggests that variability in wise thinking is systematic, with greater wisdom in ecological and experimentally-induced contexts promoting an ego-decentered (vs. egocentric) viewpoint. Moreover, teaching for wisdom benefits from appreciation of context-dependency of intentions and actions depicted in the narratives of wisdom exemplars’ lives. I conclude by advancing a constructivist model of wisdom, suggesting that cultural-historical, personal-motivational, and situational contexts play a critical role for wisdom, its development, and its application in daily life.

A study of the theological implications of the Korean reunification movement focusing on the story of Rev. Ik-whan Moon

Peace matters in various ways in this globalized world, and the Korean Peninsula has been a critical situation in this matter, especially in the current climate. This article delves into Rev. Ik-whan Moon, a leader of the reunification movement, in South Korea in order to deal with the issue of peace. This article examines him in three parts: the enjoyable tenets of his life and social action, the theological meaning of his activism, and the new horizon of social activism through his new vision of the Kingdom of God. Rev. Moon began his social action at 59, but he dedicated his life to society as he wrote many poems, playing a part in the Korean reunification movement. His activism is based on his theology of the oppressed ( min-joong) and the Kingdom of God. Lastly, he created a historical momentum for the Korean reunification movement by visiting North Korea in 1989, in that he opened a new hope that South Korean civilians and North Korean civilians could meet each other. It was a non-obedience movement because no civilians could visit North Korea due to the National Security Law. Rev. Moon's actions towards Korean reunification give us great wisdom for peace in this contemporary violent world.
