Paradigm Repair and News Engagement: Exploring Bari Weiss’s Resignation from the New York Times

ABSTRACT In July 2020, New York Times Opinion staff and writer Bari Weiss announced her resignation, accusing the newspaper’s problematic editorial preference. Her resignation ignited robust debates about professional norms and journalistic accountability among journalists, partisan elites, and the public. Drawing on insights from ethical crisis communication, journalistic paradigm repair, and schema congruity theory, this study used this case as a point of departure and examined the effects of NYT response to and politician endorsement of Weiss’s resignation on news audiences’ perceptions and subsequent behaviors. Based on a 3 (NYT response: acceptance, denial, silence) by 2 (partisan endorsement: left-leaning vs right-leaning) between-subject experiment (N = 251) in the United States, we found that NYT’s accepting response induced higher ratings of journalistic accountability of NYT, which in turn led to greater intentions to engage with the outlet. Endorsement from the right-leaning partisan elites resulted in lower perceptions of Weiss’s ethics, but higher levels of news engagement. Further, there was an indirect effect of partisan endorsement on news engagement intentions through perceived ethics. We discussed our findings regarding how news organizations could uphold their core values and meet their business goals during reputational crises at times of low media trust and heightened political polarization.

Three Ideas

This two-page comic explores the nexus I found between Scott McCloud’s concepts of closure and iconicity. These concepts have had an immense impact on both my scholarship and my creative work, and my short comic links how they create a more complicated understanding of both sympathy and empathy in a hybridized form. I always found the gutter a compelling site of inquiry, as it metaphorically represents both the collaborative space McCloud propounds and also an epistemological crisis—the gutter is a space of not-knowing, and so is only knowable through a projection which may not bear any relation to the intention of the artist and writer. Furthermore, with whom we are prompted to—and choose—to identify with often prompts a moral crisis. We are as likely to see our reflection in the face of a murderer as a saint in comics, and McCloud’s discussion of iconicity suggests that this creates a more morally complex universe in comics than initially appears.

This means that Korea is now regarded as a developed country in terms of its economic competitiveness and public welfare. The development and prosperity of Korea are recognized as being due to its education system and the strong enthusiasm of parents, devotion of teachers, and government educational reform. This study aims to explore policy directions and tasks for the reformation of Korean education for national development and prosperity. In recent years, concerns have been raised due to the onset of the 4th industrial revolution and the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the low birth rate, views unrelated to educational materials, and an uncertain future, as well as the environment have raised concerns. These kinds of changes demand appropriate responses and solutions. The status quo of education has many pending issues and problems. First of all, the big gap in school achievement among students as well as the failure of character education and excessive interference of the government in education. Also of concern are the depressed teaching atmosphere in schools, the crisis of morals and ethics and basic order, damage to the essence of educational autonomy, the insufficient international competitiveness of higher education, and more. In order to solve these problems, it is urgent to pursue the essentials of education, which requires reestablishing some principles and values such as excellence, equality, autonomy, diversity, and professionalism. On the basis of the principles and values, a new educational reform agenda could be recommended as follows. First, a new, future-oriented educational system and infrastructure should be built. Also, character education, community consciousness, and unification education should be emphasized along with a feasible childbirth policy. It goes without saying that respect for teachers and professionalism in teaching should be enhanced. It is inevitable to enact special laws for resolving disparities and inequality in education and private schools. It is necessary to strengthen linkages between school, colleges, universities, and occupations. International competitiveness of and specialization in higher education should also be emphasized and enhanced. Additionally, it is urgent to reshuffle the educational governance system. To be specific, the chief executives of the central and provincial areas should be selected from among the best qualified education experts and leaders. All of the above-mentioned reforms could be discussed by a presidential committee for educational reform and concrete alternatives and solutions could be determined.

PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING GOD: RE-LINKS IN TIMES OF CRISIS

Investigating from God, for God and about God is an immense commitment, in which I go in the first person, with my sentiments and a transmethodical investigation with the transmethod of comprehensive, ecosophical and diatopic hermeneutics; going through the analytical, empirical and purposeful moments. It is a responsibility, as long as the insult to the name of God, the separation of the human being, the abuse in colonial solsyadoras religions has compromised the complex understanding of the human being: nature-body-mind-soul-spirit-God. Thus, we return with ecosophia, the wisdom in the art of inhabiting the planet, resorting to the ancient philosophy that dictates that reason is not only located in the mind; but in the soul and the spirit to analyze, in the needs of the planet, in the moral crisis, in the greatest urgency of inhumanity, the privilege of knowing God with re-ligations in times of crisis, this is the complex objective of the inquiry. Diatopia tends to unite topoi separated for convenience in the human being, such as: God-human being, nature-Human Being. In propositional moments, we help so that beyond man's arrogance he thinks of his transcendence. God opens doors for us, we cannot miss the opportunity to enter. Let's go ahead with Him. Praised be his name of love Jesus Christ always in my life, parting the Red Sea to enter through your wide door the door of God. The crisis of civilization will not improve significantly; we must think about changes that lead us to the salvation of our soul and spirit. If you acknowledge Jesus Christ our Lord, dying for us; you can know the Holy Spirit; that in the three divine persons they are inseparable. Science must return to the union with philosophy and this with theology, with cogitative re-linkages of a high level, decolonial and complex.

Sensemaking and Identity Recovery After Organizational Misconduct: The Case of Petrobras’ Leaders

We analyze the case of the Brazilian oil and gas state-owned enterprise Petrobras after the corruption scandal that became public in 2014, with several repercussions over the following years. Based on documental data and interviews conducted in 2020, we investigate how the company’s leaders faced these events and the sensemaking processes triggered in response to the crisis. We specifically analyze the executive leaders’ sensegiving strategies, unveiling narratives and framing used to mitigate the event’s consequences and recover the organizational identity damaged by the ethical crisis. We also examine the mid-level leaders’ sensemaking process, describing the (re)construction of meaning and recovery of the organizational identity from the employees’ point of view. We observe that the latter process seems to have been facilitated by the top management sensegiving strategy, which effectively supported identity recovery, as framing effectively tapped on mid-level leaders’ self-concept needs. The analysis unfolds in distinctive theoretical contributions that help understand the interconnections between identity and sensemaking in the context of crises that undermine corporate reputation.

Spiritual intelligence represents the extent to which higher values, meaning and a sense of purpose influence an individual’s decisions and actions.

Spiritual Quotient is the ultimate intelligence with which people address and solve the problems associated with meaning and value. Thus, the paper concludes that employee unethical behaviour in an organization can be solved through Spiritual Quotient and ethical values in organization.

Social media is used to help students' learning activities. However, the use of social media in students fosters an impact, whether it is a good impact or a positive or negative impact. Social media is a social structure that comes from individuals and organizations that are bound by the similarity of their users.

‘To act is to be committed, and to be committed is to be in danger’: the vulnerability of the young lawyer in ethical crisis

ABSTRACT This paper takes as its starting point the phenomenon of young lawyers in ethical crisis. The teaching of ethics in the classroom and the ethos and environment of the law firm have created dissonance: knowing what it is right to do but being unable to do it. In examining this phenomenon, we develop the idea of commitment as a source of duty, loyalty, and courage that enables someone to accept and overcome reluctance to act ethically. Our conceptual framework combines two models: Fineman’s radical view that vulnerability is universal, but ameliorated by the assets available to the individual, and Rest’s four component model that provides a taxonomy of precursors for ethical action and resilience. We consider how the structures and the relationships between law schools, regulators and law firms, acting in combination, support or degrade ethical resilience and development of a commitment to ethical action. We close by considering how changes to the structure planned by one regulator in England and Wales deplete the assets available to the young lawyer and thereby the profession.

An ethics crisis and corporate failure in food and beverage companies. evidence from Zimbabwe

Lack of adherence to ethics and principles appears to have been one of the main causes of corporate financial distress around the world. A lot of unethical practices have contributed to revenue leakages and reluctance by investors to buy a stake in the industry. The prevalence of unethical practices, illegal behavior, illicit and deceptive practices in food and beverage companies is an unsolved issue. The aim of the research was to find out the effect of ethical problems on company’s financial performance in food and beverage industry. The high failure rate of brands in the food and beverage companies has given the researcher interest to investigate the impact of ethics on financial performance of a company. Due to the diverse nature of food and beverage industry, an action research inquiry of 20 interviews and 100 questionnaires was conducted. A mixed method convergent approach was used to analyse collected data using questionnaires and interviews. Findings from the study that there is strong positive relationship between ethical conduct of employees, managers, business conduct and the financial performance of food manufacturing company. The study results show that ethical branding significantly enhances the firm's reputation; and good reputation reinforces the brand in turn. Ethical branding can provide the company with a differential advantage as a growing number of consumers become more ethically conscious. It is therefore recommended that, ethical issues should be considered in all company departments and embedded into total quality management processes of an organization as it affect potential investors and customers.

Multicultural values in social studies learning using indirect teaching model in Junior High Schools

Multicultural values are an integrated value system including justice, diversity, freedom, and solidarity. SMP Negeri 2 Pemalang, SMP Pius Pemalang, and SMP Al-Irsyad Pemalang have students from various ethnicities, including Javanese, Chinese, and Arabic. This study aims to analyze the practice of multicultural teaching and learning activities in social studies subjects at junior high school by using the indirect teaching model, to analyze the role of social studies teachers in shaping the multicultural values in social studies learning, and to analyze the multicultural values students have through indirect teaching models. This writing was done qualitatively with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation study. The results show that not all social studies teachers understand the indirect teaching model before learning. Not all social studies materials could be delivered using the indirect teaching model. Apart from being an educator, teachers also play roles as an example of values, ethics, social and emotional aspects for students. The suggestion of this writing is to emphasize multicultural values to students to understand and apply them to social life, considering that Indonesia is currently experiencing a crisis of values, ethics, and morals.

Anthropological and Religious Dimension, Ecological Transition and Integral Development: Economic Theory towards a New Paradigm?

The crisis of the market system is highlighted not only by the lag on environmental issues, but also by the lag in responses to repeated social and ethical crises, which are increasingly global. Under scrutiny is the increasingly evident theoretical weakness of the market paradigm and its formally perfect but unrealistic rational model. And it is above all its microeconomic basis that is weak, starting with the theory of behaviour and choice, with the utilitarian Homo Economicus as the only variable, the only key to interpretation. What then are the possible integrations? First of all, the inclusion in economic models of the non-mercantile dimension of exchange, in its various forms: gratuitousness, gift, altruism, relational goods, common goods, reciprocity, promotion of the person. Thus, the recognition of the economic role of non-economic factors, in an interconnected, integral and organic reading of social systems. The response must be systemic, in the various ethical, social and environmental aspects. Economics, natural sciences, anthropology, economic sociology and history of religions can dialogue in the search for a new theoretical paradigm. It is therefore necessary that the ecological transition be followed by a real transformation of the economic model.

American Indian Ideologies in The Round House

This paper focuses on the ideologies in the Native American context as represented in Louise Erdrich’s The Round House. In this paper, I intend to examine the connection between the change in the belief system and its effects on the socio-cultural practices of indigenous communities. I argue that behind the ethical crisis and change in indigenous ideologies, these elements play the keyholes: the imposition of foreign values in the interest of colonial authority, intercultural interactions, and the rise of individualism due to the loss of indigenous cultural memory. One of the key elements that keep the indigenous ideologies alive is folklore. Traditionally, the indigenous folklores work as effective means to circulate the ideologies that shape the lifestyle of the Native American people. However, due to the external influences, the story listening culture has declined, and its impact surfaces as ecological crisis and changes in their way of living. The consequences of the ethical crisis manifest in the key principles that guide the tribal lifestyle. For instance, ecological sustainability, collective responsibility, and social welfare influence the shifting belief system that promotes individualism, materialistic gain, and competitiveness. Similarly, colonial intervention promotes capitalism by exploiting natural resources and adopting other unethical means. To testify to my assumption, the ethical degeneration in the Native American society as the effect of the loss of indigenous ideological impact, I have examined The Round House and the folklores narrated within it.

Psychological Factors for the Formation of Collective Ecological Consciousness

This article presents the results of a theoretical analysis of the concept of collective ecological consciousness from the standpoint of its characteristics. It also displays fundamental differences between ecological and individual consciousness. Furthermore, the paper depicts the correlation between environmental culture, which arises in the process of socialization, and the power of environmental intents aimed at protecting the environment. During the integration into society, an individual learns a universal system of beliefs, values, customs, traditions, norms, and rules that are followed by dominant public. They also evolve relationships with the world and nature surrounding them. In particular, in a society with a high level of development of collective ecological consciousness, young people from an early age employ effective strategies for the conservation and restoration of natural resources. Thus, the authors draw attention to the crisis of morality and spirituality, which is the main reason for developing a selfish type of collective ecological consciousness. The authors give examples of environmental education concepts and training to lay the theoretical foundation for developing effective programs to improve environmental culture in the younger generation.
