Tolerance as a Founding Value of World Peace

Societies today have a heightened awareness of their unity and the way in which each individual depends on the other in indispensable solidarity; however, within these societies bitter political, social, economic, racial and ideological disputes persist and with them the danger of a war that could jeopardize world peace. It is in this context that tolerance emerges as a fundamental ethical priority for building and maintaining peace in the world. Tolerance, therefore, does not imply neutrality of thought, on the contrary, each group has space to present their points of view and experiences for everyone's co-reflection, and everyone is asked to respect the essential norms to the functioning of pluralism. The advocacy of tolerance represents a project of emancipation and is based on the strength of human reason. The objective of this thematic proposal is to reflect on the mystery of man and the meaning of his social being through the prism of considering the moral value of tolerance in the political-democratic order and in social coexistence. Democracy, whose assumptions are condensed in the production of consensus in relation to the good of political life and the experience of citizenship, must recognize that social pluralism poses challenges to the idea of tolerance based on the ontology of the person. For a proper approach to the topic in question, which involve a triple joint: 1) The problem of intolerant democracies today; 2) Social pluralism and public security, and 3) Tolerance and world peace, priority will be given to the method of reviewing the vast and rich literature that discusses the subject in question. In conclusion, the study puts forward the thesis that in the face of various existential scenarios that negatively mark the recent history of many peoples and nations - such is the case of violent extremism in the world, electoral offenses and, consequently, barbaric demonstrations post-elections, the human-environment relationship - the moral value of tolerance continues to be an important factor in building world peace and must therefore be cultivated by everyone.

Effect of shared leadership education program on dental students’ leadership competency and social coexistence index

Effect of shared leadership education program on dental students’ leadership competency and social coexistence index

Relationships between Resilience and Self-Efficacy in the Prosocial Behavior of Chilean Elementary School Teachers.

Teachers' actions go beyond instruction, as their personal traits influence their teaching methods, problem-solving skills, and the quality of their relationships with students. Among these attributes, their prosocial competencies stand out for contributing to school, community, and social coexistence. Furthermore, the connection they have to resilience and self-efficacy promotes increased effectiveness in meeting the demands of an ever-more challenging work environment. This research aimed to analyze the effect of the relationship between self-efficacy and resilience on the prosocial behavior of Chilean elementary school teachers. The sample consisted of 1426 teachers (77.2% women) working in public and subsidized Chilean schools. Structural equation modeling (SEM) explored the relationships between self-efficacy, resilience, and prosocial behavior. The findings indicate that self-efficacy and resilience directly and positively affect the prosocial behavior of elementary school teachers. It is suggested that resilience, self-efficacy, and prosociality among teachers are promoted due to their synergistic effects and, consequently, the benefits for school children, especially those from vulnerable social contexts.

Far Away but Similar: Peaceful Coexistence Models in Indonesia and Syria

Successful social coexistence in countries with multiethnic and multireligious populations is rare. Scholars have used different approaches to find the theory that explains the key elements communities perform in reaching an environment of peaceful coexistence. In this regard, the previous theories give us a partial understanding of the successful peaceful existence amid rising conservatism in global scale. Drawing from Robert Putnam’s social capital theory, this article argues that peaceful coexistence in Syria and Indonesia has been successful due to several factors: the historical, trust and reciprocity, social network and the nationalist sentiment. The empirical research was done by analyzing academic, analytic, and historical data, conducting interviews, and fieldwork with community members in Syria and Indonesia.

ЗЕМЕЛЬНІ ПРАВОПОРУШЕННЯ: РОЗМЕЖУВАННЯ КРИМІНАЛЬНОЇ, АДМІНІСТРАТИВНОЇ І ДИСЦИПЛІНАРНОЇ ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНОСТІ

The constitutional principles of a democratic and legal state guide the development of Ukraine in the direction of people’s rule and a legal state. Therefore, the subsystem of legal norms regulating homogeneous relations in the sphere of public and state maintenance of law and order acquires special importance for the materialization of formal and declarative norms about a democratic and legal state. Therefore, it is relevant to substantiate the need to separate the rules (norms) of public (public) order and disciplinary responsibility for their violation from the branches of administrative legislation into a separate branch according to the postulates of law. It is appropriate that the state regulation of behavior in public (public) places should be set out in the Code of Public Order. And the norms regulating responsibility for land, forest, air, etc. misdemeanors were transferred to the basic codes regulating legal relations in the relevant spheres of socio-economic life. At the same time, the primary task is to update and reform legislation based on the postulates and axioms of legal theories. The formation and development of civil society, organized into a democratic, social, legal state, in accordance with the principle of popular sovereignty, leads to changes in the very essence of delictological legal relations, a return to the postulates of legal theory (in the context of revived natural law). The separation of prescriptions and sanctioned customs of public order into an independent branch of law by including public rules regulating this order in its institutions forms a system of norms of public legal order. The proposed differentiation and systematization of legal responsibility is the basis for bringing the legal system into compliance with the axioms of the theory of law (jurisprudence) based on the postulates of Roman civil law. This will contribute to the improvement of both public order, in particular, and the development of civil society institutions, democracy, and the establishment of the rule of law in general. As well as the humanization of legal responsibility, the spread of educational and psychological measures of social (moral) responsibility, the strengthening of the discipline of social coexistence, the education of citizens’ self-discipline as a component of individual legal awareness. The transfer of norms regarding the responsibility for land offenses of private law officials and citizens to the basic land code will allow to systematize and separate the norms regarding the direct administrative responsibility of public law officials (state authorities, local self-government bodies) for illegal actions (inaction), land offenses in the field of management. Key words: legal responsibility, criminal offense, administrative offense, land offenses, land offenses in the field of management, public order, public misdemeanor.

The coexistence of halal food products in non-Muslim communities: visiting Kupang cases, Indonesia

PurposeThis study aims to revisit the practice of multiculturalism within the co-existence of halal food products in non-Muslim communities in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through observations, interviews and documentation using a case study approach.FindingsThe important findings in the existing study indicate that social practice related to the acceptance and expression of non-Muslim communities towards halal products and certificates is integrated into the daily life of the people. It has contrasted with other regions in Indonesia where debates between cultural and structural aspects of halal product studies and certification prevail, often dominated by ego-sectoral interests and Islamic theology. Although Kupang’s predominantly non-Muslim population, the practice and model of halal products emerge with uniqueness within communal traditions and socio-cultural practices take precedence over structural factors.Research limitations/implicationsThe most significant contribution of this research lies in mutual understanding, interfaith dialogue and religiosity that have fused into social life, specially building social coexistence in halal products.Practical implicationsThese findings contribute to policymakers to reformulate halal certification and products, which are not solely driven by the interests of the Muslim community.Originality/valueThis study presents a new synthetic theory about halal products, confirming a case study in Kupang where non-Muslim communities accepted halal products as a reflection of cultural and local customs. This acceptance has led to the development of a new identity without contradictions among business interests, ideologies, sectoral aspects, hygiene, health and structural state movements.

The challenges and perspectives of remote teaching in the pandemic period: reflections on teaching practice in online geography teaching

Remote teaching requires that families have the appropriate equipment to monitor the content and activities that are passed on by the school, in addition to knowledge focused on the pedagogical axes of the teaching-learning process. The objective of this article is to understand the students'/families' conception of remote teaching and the main challenges and perspectives during the pandemic period. To develop this study, a bibliographical research was used, carrying out a survey on scientific journal websites, databases and texts of theses, dissertations, articles and/other printed and online scientific productions. It was noticed that this form of remote teaching brought a lot of difficulty, both for students in terms of learning and for families. As classes have been suspended since March 2020 to prevent the spread of COVID-19, there was no other teaching possibility for this pandemic moment. Therefore, it is understood that this is a moment of overcoming for all education professionals, students, families and new forms of social coexistence.

Marriage and the Obligations Arising from It

Marriage, as an institution of law, is based on the moral and legal equality of spouses, on the feeling of mutual love, respect and understanding, as the basis of family unity. Healthy family and marital relationships contribute to the elimination of gender stereotypes. It all starts in the family and is transmitted throughout society. For this reason, rightly, if we want to know how much a society respects the principles of non-discrimination and gender equality, it is very effective to carry out this analysis also for the family. Both marriage and the family, as very important institutions, enjoy the special protection of the state. The general principles that pervade these institution s are: i) the principle of reciprocity of rights and obligations ii) the principle of equality in rights and obligations iii) putting the interests first: of children, of marriage, of the family iv) reciprocity: in loyalty, for moral help, for material help, for cooperation in the interests of the family and coexistence. Marriage is a legal and social coexistence between two different people whose responsibilities and rights are defined by law and social traditions. Couples marry for a variety of reasons, including love, cohabitation, and sometimes economic or social reasons. Equality between spouses is accepted as a rule social concept and as a principle of family law. The principle of equality and non-discrimination as well as that of violence in marital and family matters is one of the main points in the paper.

Can pre-service teachers learn about fake news by playing an augmented reality escape game?

Fake news is increasingly becoming a major problem for global social coexistence, for example by undermining trust in democracies. There is a consensus that educational institutions need to respond and prepare students to recognize fake news. Teachers have a central role to play in preparing students and therefore need to learn about fake news during their studies. Previous research has shown that games are particularly effective for learning about fake news, but the group of pre-service teachers has not yet been investigated. The aim of this study is to address this gap by examining whether pre-service teachers can learn about fake news using the augmented reality escape game <i>Escape Fake</i>. To investigate this question, a pre-/post-test design was conducted with 45 pre-service teachers (four males, mean age=22.59 years, standard deviation=1.80). The results show that after playing <i>Escape Fake</i>, the pre-service teachers demonstrate significantly higher knowledge about fake news, are significantly more critical towards online information, and are significantly more confident in being able to recognize fake news in the future. However, playing the game did not promote the ability to discern real from false information. The paper discusses reasons for this finding and suggests ways to improve learning with the game. Implications and future research needs are discussed.

La educación un proceso articulador de diversas ciencias y ramas del conocimiento

Abstract The logical historical process followed by education up to our days, shows not to have the level of science; pedagogues, theoreticians, philosophers, epistemologists imprecise boundaries with the other branches of knowledge. The problem manifests itself when we try to clarify: how to base its scientificity or its evident articulating process that favors formative qualities of people, its main objective is to base articulations and relational integration of diverse disciplines favoring permanent humanization. Hypothetically, it configures a Dialectical, Holistic, Systemic, Complex epistemic model (DIAHOLSIC), based on the theories: dialectic, holistic configurational, systemic, complex; it assumes intradisciplinary, pluridisciplinary, interdisciplinary, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, multidimensional approaches, allowing to explain, demonstrate, delineate, clarify, sustain; establishing epistemological principles to consider it a bridge between diverse scientific disciplines, fields of knowledge, influencing human formation, creation, cultural transmission, humanization, communication, social coexistence; it accepts theoretical – practical contributions always using them to last until imperishable confines. It is fundamental, as an integral formation of individuals, making them capable of reasoning, developing independent thinking, enriching and improving; it perfects existing educational experiences placed at the service of students. Keywords: Education, articulation process, sciences and branches of knowledge.

Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez (1917-1980)

Many religious figures in all heavenly and non-heavenly religions have left us a tremendous human and intellectual legacy. Religion is the highest thing a person can deepen and occupy his time and thought, as it is considered a tool to search for a healthy, safe and safe life and noble human social coexistence. There are many known religious figures, but on the other hand, there are many religious figures that must be revealed, despite the role played by these personalities in their societies, they are not widely known, including Pastor Romero.Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador during the years of brutal government and paramilitary repression, is one of the most prominent figures in the modern history of El Salvador and Latin America. He is a Christian martyr of the Gospel of social justice, a man of deep spirituality and great moral standing.

Ochrona interesów małoletniego w prawie medycznym

The purpose of this article is to discuss issues related to the protection of the interests of a minor in the procedure of medical law. Using a dogmatic-legal research method, the case law of the Supreme Court, the provisions of the Family and Guardianship Code and the provisions of the Act of November 6, 2008, on Patients’ Rights and the Ombudsman for Patients’ Rights, were analysed. According to the jurisprudential line, “one of the manifestations of an individual’s autonomy and freedom of choice is the right to decide for oneself, including the choice of treatment method. A reflection of this right is the institution of consent to the performance of a medical procedure, which is one of the prerequisites for the legality of therapeutic activities”. A person’s health and life are personal goods under the special protection of civil law. Equally protected is the personal good of autonomy of decision-making, which is the basis for the “disposal” of one’s own body and, consequently, health and life. The situation of minor patients, who are deprived of the right to decide on the health services provided to them, as well as minors, who have no influence on the decision on the choice of treatment, should also be considered. How are their interests protected? What if the minor and his parents have different opinions about the treatment, or if they do not consent to his treatment at all? How far can the legislature interfere in the exercise of parental authority and how is the minor patient protected? Can the guardianship court make decisions concerning life or health? The issues raised are extremely interesting not only legally, but also ethically and socially, for as a rule it is the parent who decides what is good for their child. It happens, however, that his decisions may contradict both the protected good and the principles of social coexistence themselves harm the interests of the minor.

Tensions in Social Integration Based on Access to Health and Decent Work for the Migrant Population in Santiago de Cali

Cali, Colombia has been a destination for migrants from Venezuela, either to serve as a transit point or a settlement for those seeking better opportunities. This complex situation, within the context of an intermediate city located in the Global South, has led to unprecedented institutional challenges related to the assurance of Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ESCR), and even more, requirements for social coexistence. This paper aims to elucidate tensions that have arisen in the social integration of the migrant population in Cali, Colombia, based on the analysis of their access to health and work rights. The primary reference for this exploration is drawn from oral accounts provided by Venezuelan migrant participants residing in the city.

Conceptual model of the participation of Mexican SMEs in the Stakeholder Capitalism of the post-COVID19 era

The crisis caused by COVID-19 was an event experienced globally and simultaneously, generating changes in the way people work, study, and carry out their social activities, giving the beginning of practical and theoretical conversations about the need to design and implement a new model of capitalism, oriented to the management of interest groups. The present work presents the theoretical and conceptual review related to the theoretical and conceptual constructs related to the contribution to the planet, people management, prosperity orientation, and governance factors that explain the participation of Mexican SMEs in interest group capitalism. Thus, it is shown that the process of adaptation to a "new normality" scenario will represent a factor of fundamental importance for social coexistence considering the risk represented by the effects caused by the new coronavirus, through the development of emerging strategies characterized by promoting the Adequate interaction between interested parties that constitute a model of capitalism that must equally weigh the social, economic, environmental and health dimensions for society in the long-term.

OpenMind Handbook. A System of Design Tools and Processes to Empower Democracy Culture in Primary Schools

In this historical moment, the controversial reorganisation of the Italian education system is raising the necessity to reflect on the responsibility of education in defining more resilient societies. Primary schools are the first place where children can actively experience the dynamics of democratic coexistence, developing their relationship with society through a process of long-term encounters. Nowadays, students not only need to acquire basic skills but, above all, to address emerging social issues through education in terms of democratic culture, equality, sharing and collaboration. The research investigated how Service Design can activate participatory processes that can foster the co-creation of educational experiences aimed at raising awareness of social coexistence and democratic participation. OpenMind Handbook is a project that facilitates the implementation of new educational experiences and increases social relationships, enabling the involvement of the educational community within a long-term action process.

"Good life is to be in peace and harmony with everything around us": a qualitative study on good living among the Kankuamo Indigenous people of Colombia

The Kankuamo people are one of the 102 native peoples of Colombia, who are developing strategies for individual and collective health self-management. This article aims to investigate, identify and analyze, collaboratively and interculturally, the factors that influence the well-being of the Kankuamo people, using the Capabilities Approach proposed by Amartya Sen. To this end, three focus groups were conducted with the participation of 37 people from the 15 communities of the Kankuamo reservation. The transcripts were analyzed by means of a thematic analysis. Three central themes for the well-being of the Kankuamo emerged from the focus groups: (i) harmony between nature and human beings, (ii) social coexistence and (iii) self-determination. These themes reflect the fundamental principles and values that guide the community towards a good life, expansion of their capabilities, harmony and holistic development. The results suggest that material aspects play a secondary role in the Kankuamo community's concept of good life, and confirm that it is fundamental to consider a collective vision of capabilities, not only individual ones, in indigenous contexts. Studies such as this one can contribute to the development of more contextually appropriate approaches to assess and measure the quality of life and well-being of Indigenous communities, including the Kankuamo people.

El catecismo patriótico de Emiliano R. Fernández como invocación política en el Paraguay de posguerra (1936–1937)

Among the variety of verses written by the popular Paraguayan poet, Emiliano R. Fernández, there is a patriotic catechism in support of the presidency of Colonel Rafael Franco. This catechism was a political invocation that did not have a significant impact on the population, as its publication in any written media of the time is unknown. However, it constitutes an interesting document for understanding the political vision of a bard who was distant from circles of power, proposing civic virtues in a post-war, revolutionary, and nationalist context. This article seeks to understand the influence of Colonel Franco's government on the catechism of Emiliano R. Fernández for post-war Paraguayan society as a model of social coexistence. Additionally, it aims to understand the poet's intention in writing the catechism. To this end, its content is analyzed by comparing it with the new government's discourse and the measures adopted. This catechism was the only written political support from the poet towards this president, so it is argued that its purpose was the product of a circumstantial effort to support a government whose discourse aligned with the political ideal he himself idealized.

Yemaya – Królowa Mórz. Przyczynek do analizy sytuacji dziecka w kontakcie z obcością

The article presents an academic reflection on the experiencing and familiarising of strangeness. A theatrical performance for children, Yemaya - Queen of the Seas, is the base for a consideration of dealing with strangeness and the social changes generating such contact. The proposed analysis and interpretation of the play is based on selected philosophical views of Bernhard Waldenfels, Paul Tillich, Roman Ingarden and Zygmunt Bauman. Strangeness and change are topics rarely seen as appropriate for children. However, children experience these issues participating in them in different areas. Importantly - although these processes are taking place here and now, they are directed towards the future. It is today's children who will be living in a different world, in new situations and among people we consider strangers today. So how should we talk to children about familiarising strangeness and the changes that follow? Could art be an effective tool in this communication? From the interpretation of the content of the play, the conclusion about the primacy of ethical issues in dealing with strangeness emerges. It generate the need to draw the children's attention to this important aspect of social coexistence.

The importance of catholic social coexistence rules for the effectiveness of provided and received support

Objectivesnot applicableMaterial and methodsnot applicableResultsnot applicableConclusionsThis article consists of four parts. The first part presents issues concerned with the human need for social support. The presented analysis of the issue is based on experiences of living during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second part presents the characteristics of provided and received social support. Finally, the third part presents Catholic social coexistence rules as norms which can shape a personalistic social order. Additionally, this final section provides the practical implications of implementing two principles - love and subsidiarity - in order to increase the effectiveness of provided and received support. The last part consists of the final conclusions referring to the possibility of applying the Catholic principles of social coexistence in building assistance-providing relationships. The article attempts to answer questions on the importance of the principles of social coexistence for interpersonal support, both to help other people and to receive support from the social environment. In this context, two research questions can be posed. Are the principles of social coexistence essential for providing help to another human being? Are the rules of social coexistence important for people receiving support from others?

Unearthing intentionality: Building transformative capacity by reclaiming consciousness

In transformation research of late, accounts on the relation between intentionality and agency on the one hand, and the more routinised and structured side of social co-existence on the other, are increasingly nuanced. However, we observe a deficiency in the way arguments are set up by the interlocutors: both, scholars who grant intentionality a central role and those who emphasise its limitations generally do so at the level of ontology – debating degrees of human capacity for conscious planning versus a largely unconscious reproduction. We wish to shift this question from an ontological to a pedagogical one, exploring possibilities to cultivate and learn intentionality. We do so by developing the concept of consciousness-in-nature that we derive from, and contextualise in, the traditions of deep ecology and (Westernised) Buddhism which both view human beings as inseparable from nature and one another. With consciousness-in-nature we refer to an understanding of humans as a part of nature that has developed the capacity for (self-) reflection and deliberation – a capacity that is not static or firm but can be nurtured and cultivated or clouded over and subdued. From this standpoint, we lay out an understanding of the role of (re)learning consciousness for processes of social change and explore potentials for its nurturing.
