The Sublime Reimagined: Moving Towards Deeper Human–Nature Relations in Outdoor Adventure Education

Background: Current research in outdoor adventure education advocates for deeper attention to place and the role that place and the more-than-human world play in pedagogical processes. However, historical and socio-cultural analysis of the roots of OAE reveals an educational approach that encourages adversarial human–nature relations toward the pursuit of anthropocentric outcomes. The use of sublime environments towards these ends does not naturally align with the more recent attempts to foster environmental behaviors through OAE. Purpose: This research addresses the ambiguity between “place” and “pedagogy” to suggest a reimagined role of the sublime that fosters more empathetic human–nature relations. Methodology/Approach: This research utilizes philosophical phenomenology and postqualitative analysis to develop an argument for engaging with sublime environments in ways that cultivate empathetic human–nature relations. Findings/Conclusions: I argue for an awareness of the material aspect of sublime experiences that precedes construction and can inspire empathetic and reciprocal human–nature relations. Implications: Reimagining the sublime as a material phenomenon that is relational and promotes virtues of humility, respect, and care for the more-than-human world.

Public Theology, Media and National Orientation in Ghana

This article examined the interface between the church and media and how the interface contributes to the effort toward national orientation with insights from Public Theology in Ghana. Using the qualitative methodology in its information-gathering approach, the study observed that the church and media remain key social institutions that have an influence on the shaping of public opinion, public behaviour and social responsibilities. The church for instance promotes national orientation through the teaching of moral and ethical values of the Ghanaian society that are consistent with the Bible. The church teaches its members to be honest, hardworking and to contribute to the development of their communities. These values are aligned with Ghana’s national values, which aim to promote social cohesion, nation-building and national development. The church promotes the virtues of honesty, integrity, hard work and respect for authority, which are essential for the development of a responsible and productive citizenry. The study concluded that Public Theology must provide insights for the church and media in Ghana as they seek to use their influence to make significant contributions to national orientation. It further recommends that theological insights such as social watchdogs, social reformers, social referees and hope-givers must be harnessed by the church and media for national orientation. Keywords: African Christianity, Public Theology, National Orientation, Ghanaian Media

EFFECTIVENESS TEACHER-CENTERED METHOD OF TEACHING CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN INSTILLING RESPECT AMONG STUDENTS IN PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN RACHUONYO NORTH SUB-COUNTY, KENYA

Purpose: This study evaluated the effectiveness of teacher-centered method of teaching Christian Religious Education in instilling respect among students in public secondary schools in Rachuonyo North Sub-County, Kenya.
 Methodology: The study was guided by the Bandura’s social learning theory. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The study population comprised 50 CRE teachers and 1,615 Form Four students taking CRE in 49 public secondary schools. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 15 teachers, and 485 Form Four students from the accessible population. Face to face interviews were conducted to collect data from teachers while questionnaires were administered to collect data from students. Quantitative data from questionnaire were analyzed with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 20.0 using descriptive statistics as well as inferential statistics and presented in tabular form. Data from interviews was analyzed qualitatively and presentation was done in narrative form.
 Findings: Majority of the interviewed students were male and were in the age category of 17-21 years of age while nearly two thirds of the interviewed teachers were males with different levels of education ranging from bachelors to PhD. Majority of the students reported that the use of school assignments, lectures, homework, game based approach, mental modeling approach, classroom instructions, and role play enhanced acquisition of virtue of respect. The Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient showed that there existed a positive, strong and statistically significant association between teacher-centered methods and instilling virtue of respect in students (r = 0.876; p < 0.05).
 Contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study concludes that strategic use of classroom approach through assignments, homework, and talk’s is essential in acquisition of virtue of respect among students. Furthermore, teacher-centered methods play critical roles in instilling the virtue of respect among students. Therefore, teachers should be assisted to acquire competence in correct C.R.E syllabus interpretation in order to enable them to adapt varied methods of teaching, policies should ensure systematic implementation of inclusive teaching methods for every student and creation of knowledge on teacher centered teaching methods.

Cranks, Clerks, and Suffragettes: The Vegetarian Restaurant in British Culture and Fiction 1880-1914.

Vegetarian restaurants were part of the city landscape of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Britain. Most meat-free eateries were located in London, numbering around thirty by 1890, but similar establishments could also be found in Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester. Drawing on fictional representations, newspaper articles, advertisements and health reform literature, this article explores the cultural meanings attached to vegetarian dining in this period. Following the establishment of the first Vegetarian Society in 1847, the meat-free cause was embraced as part of a broader progressive scene that encompassed temperance and labor rights, pacifism and socialism. Restaurants were key to furthering the meat-free movement, but they also served city clerks in search of cheap meal and women workers in need of somewhere respectable to dine. Mapped back onto the urban imaginary, the vegetarian restaurant emerges as discursive site in which the complex politics of consumption were negotiated.

Etika Animalitas

Why animal ethics? The importance of animal ethics for the Indonesian public is to respond to the extinction threat of some animal species in Indonesia, like Tiger in Sumatera, Orang Utan in Kalimantan, Anoa in Sulawesi, and Cendrawasih in Papua. The way humans consume animals is often cruel, causing pain and suffering on the part of the animals. Such an attitude indicates the lack of moral standing in animal sphere. Philosophically and theologically, animal has sentience and intrinsic values which with humans have to recognise as the moral standard for animal.Using the theological-ethical concept that human being was created in the image of God, which means that they are not only endowed with senses but also the intellect to make them moral standing creature, this article points to the capacity as well as responsibility of humans to the environment, specifically to the animal world (animalities). As such, animals have to be regarded as having moral standing in the context of human beings’moral attitude and treat. Animals have to be respected and loved morally because they have sense, sentience and intrinsic value. Animals have feeling of pleasure and suffering which with human beings must honor and make as a moral standard. Like human beings, animals have the right to enjoy contentment and to be protected as the good creatures created by God. Although consuming animals can be considered part of natural order and natural recycle, animals have the right to enjoy liberation and prosperity during they are living, and to be avoided from suffering. In this sense, life and death must be accepted in balance. As a conclusion, in relating to animals, humans should demonstrate the virtues of respect, love, justice, and restrained attitudes. Animal ethics, thus, concerns with the sustainability of the peace and welfare of the whole creation on the planet earth.

Ecological democracy and the rise and decline of liberal democracy: looking back, looking forward

ABSTRACTThe critical environmental political theory (EPT) of ecological democracy emerged in the 1990s when liberal democracy and cosmopolitanism appeared to be on the rise. A quarter of a century later, as both went into decline in the western heartland, a new iteration of ecological democracy has emerged, reflecting a significant shift in critical normative horizons, focus and method. Whereas the first iteration sought to critique and institutionally expand the coordinates of democracy – space, time, community and agency – to bring them into closer alignment with a cosmopolitan ecological and democratic imaginary, the second has connected ecology and democracy through everyday material practices and local participatory democracy from a more critical communitarian perspective. The respective virtues and problems of each iteration of ecological democracy are drawn out, and the complementarities and tensions between them are shown to be productive in maintaining theoretical and methodological pluralism and enhancing the prospects for sustainability and a multifaceted democracy.

“Something prety out of very little”

In “Something prety out of very little”: Graniteville Mill Village, 1848, Lisa Goff describes how Charleston entrepreneur William Gregg built Graniteville, South Carolina, to prove the viability of southern manufacturing, which he believed could help avert war between South and North, and to quell planters’ fears that industry would mar the beauty of the South. The village's whitewashed Carpenter Gothic cottages, with matching hotel, school, and church designed by Richard Upjohn, were intended to instill virtues of hard work, clean living, and respect for authority in a white workforce drawn from surrounding farms. Gregg exercised a patriarch's control over his industrial utopia, but the nicknames workers gave the place, and what they told visiting missionaries, show that they experienced Gregg's Gothic hamlet on their own terms. An avid gardener and horticulturist active in the Episcopal Church, Gregg would have been aware of the claims to moral superiority associated with the Gothic Revival style. Goff's analysis of letters, published articles, corporate reports, and advertisements in local newspapers reveals that Gregg's strategies of social contol—adapted from his study of Robert Owen and David Dale—had sinister underpinnings: programmed for hard work at low wages by the “ethical” architecture and orderly “natural” landscape, a white, largely female workforce would insulate the Graniteville Mill from the effects of abolition, should it come.

A sea cucumber-like nanoporous TiO2 modified by bimetal Pt[sbnd]Au through the dealloying for water splitting

Bimetal PtAu modifying nanoporous TiO2 composites are prepared by dealloying. X-ray diffraction is used to determine the phase constitution. The specific surface area and mesoporous pores are measured by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy are employed to analyse the mutual synergy between Pt and Au. The hydrogen generation rate is measured to determine the photocatalytic performance. The results reveal that TiO2 is the anatase structure and possess a sea cucumber-like morphology with a large specific surface area. The hydrogen generation rate is 1.745 mmol h−1 g−1 for the dealloyed Al92Ti7.86Pt0.04Au0.1 ribbons under the full spectrum irradiation. This value is 29.6 times, 4.4 times and 1.8 times those of the dealloyed Al92Ti8, Al92Ti7.9Au0.1, and Al92Ti7.96Pt0.04 ribbons, respectively. The above results indicate that the addition of a small amount of Au and Pt significantly enhances the photocatalytic activity for H2 production. The Au promotes the absorption of visible light, and Pt serve as an electron sink for effective electron-hole pairs separation during the photocatalytic process. It is a feasible and an effective strategy to take full advantages of respective virtues of noble metals and their strong interactions to enhance photocatalytic activity.

Against Ideological Colonization: The Teaching of Humanae Vitae and a Humanely Adequate Global Ethic

This article attempts to trace the development of the United Nations commitment to contraception as a guarantor of world peace, an engine of economic development, a guardian of the natural environment, and an equalizer of men and women. Unfortunately, as UNESCO notes in their instruction regarding the connection between population and development, the UN analysis of the impact of population growth was mistaken and their policies misguided.The promotion of artificial contraception was integral to UN attempts to limit childbearing in developing nations, and any resistance led to loss of international assistance in a variety of areas. This article argues then argues that natural family planning provides many of the benefits the UN policy seeks, while avoiding unintended adverse effects that have been documented in many studies. By teaching couples to work with their fertility to achieve their personal goals - whether to avoid or increase their chances of child bearing - the virtues of mutual restraint, communication, commitment, and respect are instilled. These virtues are instrumental to achieve the very goals that advocates of contraception desire. World peace, economic development, protection of the environment, and authentic sexual equality requires each of these virtues, both individually and communally.

Religious change in market and consumer society: the current state of the field and new ways forward

ABSTRACTThis article provides a critical appraisal of how the concept of the ‘market’ has been understood and employed in previous scholarship on religion and religious change in market society. The discussion focuses on the respective virtues and weaknesses of approaches that view ‘religious markets’ in terms of a de facto empirical entity on the one hand, and approaches that instead employ the ‘market’ as a metaphor for how the religious field is structured and organized on the other hand. The article then proceeds to outline and argue for the adoption of a broader marketization-focused perspective that views ongoing changes in the religious field against the backdrop of wider neoliberal socio-economic restructurings of the global political economy and social institutional fields.

Prostitution and the Good of Sex

On some accounts, prostitution is just another form of casual sex and as such not particularly harmful in itself, if regulated properly. I claim that, although casual sex in general is not inherently harmful, prostitution in fact is. To show this, I defend an account of sex as joint action characteristically aimed at sexual enjoyment, here understood as a tangible experience of community among partners, and argue that prostitution fails to achieve this good by incentivizing partners to mistreat each other. To substantiate this claim, I explore ways in which prostitution fails on the virtues of temperance, respect, and sincerity.

After Sovereignty/After Virtue

This response reads the phrase "after sovereignty" as a turn on Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue. I then recommend the virtue of respect as a way of reframing key scenes in Measure for Measure, including the bed trick and the duke's final proposal. Respect belongs to the Kantian realm of a universal, maxim-based moral theory that replaces the Aristotelian regime of virtue championed by MacIntyre, Martha C. Nussbaum, and Hannah Arendt, but also has its roots in liturgical practices of the sublime that affiliate respect with political theology and the carnal sublimations of courtly love. Shakespearean drama both participates in the Aristotelian virtue tradition and tests its limits, predicting the modernization of aretê in liberalism.

Role of the High School Teachers in Developing Values

<p><em>Value is such a code of conduct or the incorporation of virtue following which, man develops his personality and springs up being powerful and trustworthy in society. Values are guiding principles or standards of behaviour which are regarded desirable, important and held in high esteem by a particular society in which a person lives. Values are important for bringing desirable changes in an individual. The national policy on education (1986) calls for an emphasis on development of science and technology and the “cultivation of personal and social values” so that “the educational system produces young men and women of character and ability committed to national services”. Transmission of human values is to be made feasible by the pivotal role played by the teacher in the arena. Teacher is the right person to develop awareness and sensitivity of duties and values amongst the children. A teacher must succeed in conveying the larger ideals of service to the community, virtues of tolerance and respect for all faiths, the importance of character and the value of our heritage and culture. An efficient teacher aims at enlightening the minds and illumining the hearts of individual. Holistic development of a student is incomplete if moral values are neglected. As it is observed in the present times that immoral and antisocial behaviour is increasing among the students, it turns out to be a matter of great concern because decrease in moral values among school children greatly hamper the social fabrication and society as well. Education is knowledge based but values are not implemented now a days. So education should fulfill aims and at the same time inculcate values. Students are influenced by peer groups, parents, teachers and they learn certain values in an informal way. But the single largest influence on the student is the educational curriculum. The curricular requirements of the school should aim at not only imparting knowledge and language information but also a judicious combination of values that have a bearing on the future life of the students.</em></p><p><br /><em>The present study is an attempt to understand the role played by the high school teachers in developing values among students, at Narayankhed mandal, Medak district, Telangana state. 100 teachers randomly selected from 15 Government and private schools constitute the sample. An opinionnaire, with items divided under 5 major areas, is the tool used for administration. Scoring is done based on a two point scale. Percentages, mean, standard deviation and critical ratio are used for analysing the data.</em></p>

Theoretical Approach of Science, Technology and Innovation for Economic Growth in Mozambique

This paper presentation reflects literature review and the theoretical approaches on the relevance of the interdependent dynamics of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) and their relationship to economic growth. The paper will do a review on literature of case studies and will aim to understand how the STI indicators have been applied or not applied in Mozambique for framing policy on economic planning purpose. Evolutionary theories like those of Schumpeter and others have complex and dynamic approaches which are conceptually attractive. In this paper we examine their respective virtues and limitations, and their visibility when connected with practical policy-making. In this context, the paper aims to examine the relative strengths and weaknesses of science and technology in the economy of Mozambique and analyze the policies identified to support the development of science, technology and innovation. This theoretical approach will also reflect on the relevance of the interdependent policy issues relating to the dynamics of science, technology and innovation and their relationship to economic growth.
