Gaging "JoJo Rabbit " Skies - Film Deconstruction and Reshaping of Literature

In contemporary film and television, many creative works use excellent literary works as the basis of adapted scripts.

And reinvention. This article elaborates on the expression of the theme in JoJo Rabbit from multiple dimensions, such as the comparison between the script and the original work, the current situation of film adaptations, and the excellent use of audio-visual language in the film. Finally, a multi-angle comparison of the original novel and the film summarizes how the film deconstructs and reshapes the literary adaptation of the original work and the profound impact of scholarly works on adapters.

Balancing Profit and Morality: Confucian Insights into Financial Management and Corporate Governance

This study explores the integration of Confucian principles in modern financial management and corporate governance, offering a nuanced perspective on how ancient philosophical wisdom can inform contemporary business practices. By analyzing seminal Confucian texts and reviewing current literature, this research illuminates the alignment between Confucian ethics and ethical business conduct, emphasizing a balance between financial success and societal welfare. The findings reveal that Confucianism, with its core values of Ren (compassion), Yi (righteousness), and Li (propriety), advocates for a holistic approach to business. This approach prioritizes long-term societal benefits and ethical decision-making over immediate financial gains. The study contrasts and compares Confucian perspectives with modern financial theories, highlighting the relevance and applicability of Confucian ethics in today's business world. In financial management, Confucian principles encourage prudent investment strategies and respectful stakeholder relationships, aligning with aspects of portfolio theory and wealth maximization but with an added ethical dimension. In corporate governance, Confucianism promotes leadership based on moral integrity, advocating for a governance model that values trust, mutual respect, and social responsibility. This research contributes to the understanding of how traditional philosophical systems like Confucianism can complement and enrich modern business practices.

YOUTH, RELIGION, AND POP CULTURE: MODERNITAS DALAM GAYA HIDUP HEDONISME REMAJA DAN BUDAYA POPULER VERSUS EKSISTENSI AGAMA JAMAN NOW

This research discusses the role of modernity in influencing the hedonistic lifestyle of teenagers and popular culture's impact on the existence of religion in the present time. Contemporary society is often confronted with cultural and value changes brought about by technological advancements and globalization. In this context, teenagers face complex challenges in navigating between the demands of popular culture that support pleasure and hedonism, and the more traditional values and teachings of religion. This study adopts a qualitative approach with interview techniques and observational data collection to understand teenagers' perceptions and experiences regarding religion and popular culture. The findings indicate that popular culture, such as social media, music, and entertainment, tends to promote a hedonistic lifestyle that emphasizes instant gratification and material pleasure. Meanwhile, religious values often appear marginalized and lose relevance for some teenagers. However, the research also discovered that some teenagers still hold onto their religious beliefs and try to integrate religious values with existing popular culture. Some religious groups also make efforts to leverage social media and other forms of popular culture as tools to spread religious teachings and maintain their presence in the modern world. In conclusion, teenagers in the present time face a conflict between the hedonistic lifestyle and the existence of religion, which can influence how they perceive and practice religion. It is essential for society and religious leaders to understand these dynamics and seek relevant and inclusive ways to interact with the younger generation so that religious values can remain relevant and beneficial in shaping the character and ethics of today's teenagers.

Investigating The Compatibility of Mulla Sadra's Ethics with the Three Schools of Normative

Philosophy of ethics in today's classification is divided into two branches of Meta Ethics and Normative Ethics. Normative Ethics specifically discusses moral actions, moral standards, happiness, and moral living conditions. In this branch of study, three schools of Virtue theory, Deontology theory and Consequentialism have been manifested and each of them has expressed the criteria of good deeds and happiness of human life according to their specific attitude. The issues raised in these three schools can be summed up together, and there is no contradiction in the fact that a moral thinker chooses and believes in each of the cases and wants to somehow combine these three views in his thought. But the criterion for placing a moral philosopher in one of these three schools is that he prioritizes a moral act in which of the tasks, desirable results, or action according to the virtuous soul. Mulla Sadra, as a really important and influential philosopher, has such an intellectual greatness that he cannot be placed in a special school. His views somehow include the concerns of all schools of thought. Therefore, in the field of philosophy of ethics, the views of all three mentioned moral schools can be seen in Mulla Sadra's moral system. To compare the compatibility of the three schools with the moral system of Mulla Sadra, first the main axis of each of the three schools will be defined and explained, and then a short but comprehensive and useful report of the moral system of Mulla Sadra will be given and in the final part, the Sadra's ethics ethical system will be compared with each of the three schools.

Healthcare leadership ethics: Time for some formal training.

Clinical ethics and clinical ethics supports, particularly regarding resource allocation and end-of-life decisions, are well developed in our healthcare system and in most hospitals; this is not the case for the broader category of leadership ethics. Most health managers and executives regularly need to make leadership decisions/choices that require ethical reflection. Without formal training, regular practice, and broad discussion on this issue of leadership ethics, Canadian hospital leaders are increasingly finding their decisions questioned and often end up in the headlines after being judged as failing to make the ethical grade. This article discusses the importance leadership ethics in today's healthcare environment, examines some of the complex ethical challenges created by the current healthcare context and external environment, and then presents an argument for more formal and mandatory leadership ethics education for executives and other health leaders.

Importance of early Christian thought for theology today.

Early Christianity is not only a source of historical interest, it also challenges the systematic theology and Christian ethics of today. Early Christians saw themselves as a community of life with the Eucharist at its centre. Because they participated in eternal life, they were willing to sacrifice their earthly lives in times of persecution and in the care for those who were in mortal danger. As a community of life, they rejected killing any human being, and thus also rejected abortion and military service. They were not an alternative community marked by their diet, dress or emancipation. In such issues they adapted to their environment. They made a difference by their love for those who were in need and by their faithfulness to Christ – though their message was sometimes better than their praxis.

Communicative Transformation of Professional Values of Modern Scientific Communities

Today ethics is embodied not only in day-to-day life, but also in the communication that surrounds it. The study of communication in professional communities makes it possible to determine the relationship between declared and practically embodied values in work. Ethical attitudes are not only postulates embedded in ethical codes, but also principles of interaction embodied in the construction of the information space and decision-making. Features of modern communications influence the way professional ethics is structured, which, in turn, affects its content and practical implementation. The communication through the Internet makes scientific work performative, filling it with symbols and labels. Increasingly, communication practices have to be carried out around indicators, and thus communication becomes a conductor of neoliberal reforms in scientific work. Therefore, the consequence of modern forms of communication is the forced utilitarianism of ethics associated with the need to compete in the “scientific market”. The article suggests possible ways to overcome the contradictions of communicative transformations of professional values.

What Kind of “Ethics” is New Testament Ethics?

When we speak on New Testament Ethics or somebody writes a book on that subject we often wrongly presuppose what that means and what we can legitimately expect from such a project. From the Ethics of today we expect answers on practical questions, studies on ethical arguments and on moral language. New Testament Ethics, however, is primarily exhortation, parenesis which aims at acting according to what is recognized as morally right and at moral growth. Insofar it is similar to how Ancient Ethics, especially the Stoa, understands itself.

The Bible and ethics: Pathways for dialogue

The potential relevance of biblical ethics for today is a contested issue. What is the significance of individual ethical texts of the Bible, and how – if at all – can they be dialogue partners for the ethical discourses of the 21st century? This article suggests and discusses a number of interpretative steps on the way towards a fruitful dialogue between the biblical text and contemporary concerns of religious-ethical life. After some introductory remarks on the use of the Bible in a Christian context, the article submits six different parameters of practical hermeneutics in two sections: 1. Text and culture; and 2. Text and canon. From the perspective of the parameter of canonical centrality, for example, it is argued that the biblical narrative of love, as it culminates in the gospel of Jesus Christ, stands out as a primus inter pares reference point for the dialogue between biblical ethics and ethics today. In the course of a nuanced discussion of these hermeneutical parameters, the article also provides a critical review of a number of alternative proposals on the relationship of the Bible and ethics.

Management and Ethical Lessons for Modern Businesses in the Buddhist Scripture ‘Dhammapada’

Business ethics refers to the application of ethical behavior in business. Business ethics is based on the principle of integrity, fairness and the benefits to the stakeholders. The ethical issues such as bribery, corruption, deception, concealment of facts, insider trading and fraud etc have increased the importance of business ethics in today;s dynamic business environment. The important sources of ethics are culture, religion, and law. Among these religion plays a crucial role in shaping the ethical values and attitudes for a human being. Thus, Buddhism is one of the major religions in the world which has a long tradition of highlighting ethical behavior in its practice and to deal with a practical solution to offer to today's business world. Keeping in view the importance of business ethics in a business environment, this paper aims at highlighting the ethics of Dhammapada which are correlated in business. The Dhammapada refers to the path of the dharma of truth and righteousness. It also encompasses the teachings of Buddha in the form of verses, having ethical values such as elimination of greed, good leadership, experience and good moral conduct etc. bearing implications on business management.

Book Review: Law and Ethics for Today’s Journalist: A Concise Guide, by Joe Mathewson Journalism Ethics, Arguments and Cases for the Twenty-First Century, by Roger Patching and Martin Hirst

Joe Mathewson and Ethics for Today's Journalist: A Concise Guide. Armonk, NY: M.E. Sharpe, 2014. 222 pp. Roger Patching and Martin Hirst Journalism Ethics, Arguments and Cases for the Twenty-First Century. London, UK: Routledge, 2014. 300 pp.In our digital and social world, legal and ethical issues emerge in an instant, and the author of and Ethics for Today 's Journalist: A Concise Guide finds that training aspiring reporters requires integration. Law and ethics intertwine in journalism; as such, they should be taught and discussed together (p. xi). Mathewson, a former Supreme Court correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, teaches law and ethics at Northwestern University.Mathewson's book includes thirteen chapters on the courts and legal system; ethics, root and branch; prior restraint; libel; invasion of privacy; less common invasion of privacy torts; fair trial versus free press; anonymous sources and the journalist's privi- lege; copyright; access to government documents and meetings; broadcast regulation; Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission; and the ethical journalist.Much of the book's content is appropriate for a traditional communication law course for journalism majors. It begins with a readable introduction on the sources of law and judicial structure. Rather than burying ethics late in the book, chapter 2 opens with the Jayson Blair story. Mathewson offers an important warning: Sadly, in recent years, other fabricators and plagiarists, most of them experienced journalists, have been fired or suspended at other major news organizations (p. 14).The book then offers a step back into classical ethics, such as virtue, love, rights, duty, and utility. While a review of professional conduct codes also is useful, a strength of this chapter is its focus on two key concerns:* Concealment and Confidentiality (p. 22)* Conflict of Interest (p. 23)Each chapter concludes with a thoughtful set of discussion questions and references for additional reading.As the book shifts back into law, however, there is not enough integration of ethics concepts. the prior restraint chapter, for example, the reader gets only a short con- clusion: In sum, you may publish, but publish responsibly, or else it may be subject to serious penalties, as we shall see in the chapters to come (p. 37).The libel chapter, however, successfully integrates law and ethics under a subhead- ing Wall Street Journal in Error (p. 48). Mathewson lists six critical mistakes (pp. 49-50). And the Libel section offers important advice:At the very least, operators of blogs and websites must be aware that publishing defamatory remarks or photos submitted by anonymous users could give rise to this sort of discovery demand and perhaps even to personal liability as a publisher. The same caution applies to Internet violations of personal privacy; of an accused person's right to a fair trial; of copyright protection or articles, photos or other created works, and to everything else that your or others may post on your own or someone else's site. …

Book Review: Law and Ethics for Today’s Journalist: A Concise Guide, by Joe Mathewson

Joe Mathewson Law and Ethics for Today's Journalist: A Concise Guide. Armonk: M.E. Sharpe, 2014. 198 pp.In the preface Law and Ethics for Today's Journalist, the author states that the book's purpose is to help the working journalist recognize legal and ethical issues and provide guidance in making those decisions (p. xi). This is a short book, only 198 pages, and is not designed be a comprehensive study of journalism law or of jour- nalism ethics. Rather, the author directs this text the working journalist and as a supplemental book for use in college-level journalism courses.Joe Mathewson draws on his experience as the former Supreme Court reporter for the Wall Street Journal fashion a very general overview of most of the traditional legal issues and concerns facing journalists today. As might be expected from one with Mathewson's credentials, his writing is clear, concise, and compelling. The author breaks very little new ground, but visits the cases and situations that make up the foun- dation of issues such as prior restraint, defamation, invasion of privacy, free press/fair trial, journalist's privilege, copyright, and access information. He purposely limits material pertaining broadcast regulation and obscenity. The former is omitted because it has little effect on the practice of journalism, and the latter because it has no First Amendment protection (p. xii).Also included is a chapter on the Citizens United1 case. The rationale behind includ- ing material about the Supreme Court ruling that gives corporations the same First Amendment rights as individuals is as follows: . . . in these days of big-money elec- tions, the huge political donations and expenditures can make good stories in and of themselves (p. 191). The author also suggests that following the campaign finance trail can help the practicing journalist connect the dots between money spent by inter- est groups and the actual vote.Missing from this book is any reference WikiLeaks and how the existence of this organization has affected journalism. There are at least two chapters that would be stron- ger if material on WikiLeaks were included. Chapter 3 discusses prior restraint, the Pentagon Papers, and the role of Daniel Ellsberg in obtaining these documents. It seems that this material would flow naturally into a discussion of WikiLeaks, Bradley Manning, and the Obama administration's reaction the publication of this information.2The WikiLeaks case also had an impact on the federal shield law debate, especially in determining who is a journalist and who would be covered under such a law. …

"I Guess We'll Just Have to Wait for the Movie to Come Out"

Red tape is excessive regulation or rigid conformity to formal rules that is considered redundant or bureaucratic and hinders or prevents action or decision-making. It is usually applied to governments, corporations and other large organizations.-WikipediaThe first gathering of members of the International Center for Information (ICIE), organized by founder Dr. Rafael Capurro, occurred in Karlsruhe, Germany in fall 2004. While there, a loosely formed subgroup of North American library and information studies (LIS) professors (including Dr. Elizabeth Buchanan, Dr. Tom Froehlich, Dr. Martha [Marti] Smith, Dr. Wallace [Wally] Koehler, Dr. Johannes [Hannes] Britz, Dr. Toni Carbo, and Dr. Toni Samek) spoke impromptu about creating a teaching and learning venue for information ethics within the context of the library and information studies community back home. Almost immediately, a plan was set in motion to develop a grassroots contribution to the imminent ALISE annual conference in Boston. This collective effort resulted in a January 2005 conference panel, Activism in the Context of Information Ethics, delivered by Dr. Marti Smith (Drexel University), Dr. Toni Carbo (University of Pittsburgh), Dr. Pnina Shachaf (University of Indiana-Bloomington), and Dr. Toni Samek (University of Alberta).In late February 2005, Samek posted the following message to the JESSE listserv (a popular communications tool for library and information studies educators with a heavy concentration of North American subscribers): Since the conference in Boston, a number of us have communicated by e-mail about creating a new SIG on Information to serve as a kind of partner to the newly minted SIG on Information Policy. In order to formally propose a new SIG on Information to the ALISE Board (which next meets in April), a minimum of 25 association members must endorse the proposal. ... The idea behind the proposed SIG on Information is to give critical attention to 'ethical reflection' in the context of LIS education. At this point in our history, there is a real interest in creating a consistent formal dedicated space in the [ALISE] conference program for information ethics and related areas such as core values, the global information justice movement, human rights and information work, and so on.1 The listserv post was forwarded to the ALISE members' list and a series of responses ensued, beginning with comments from Dr. Lynn Connaway, who wrote from the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC): endorse a SIG on Information Ethics. When I taught the Foundations course at the University of Denver, the majority of the class was spent discussing ethics in regard to information policy.2 Charles Harmon (Director of Publishing, Neal-Schuman Publishers, Inc. New York) wrote: Please list me as an ALISE member in support of this SIG. I chaired the American Library Assoc. Committee on Professional for four years and believe ethics is an imperative area for LIS education.3 The full set of replies served to form a picture illustrating the growing presence of information ethics educators and education in the LIS context. For example: Please include my name in support of the new SIG. In regards to courses on ethics and information, [the] UCLA LIS school just introduced a new and required! course in their program on this topic. This was made possible through the grassroots work of students and several faculty members spearheaded by Clara Chu.4Both teachers and students expressed their desire to engage in a community of information ethics. For example: am teaching a course called Ethics and Critical Thinking for Information Professionals for the first time ever during our interim session. I would welcome and participate in discussions in this arena.5 And Bringing information ethics into almost every aspect of the curriculum, as opposed to making it an easily avoided elective, would go a long way to exposing students across all of the various programs-informatics, MLIS, information management, doctoral-to the challenges of information ethics in today's society. …

Ethical Message of the Mahabharata in the Wake of the Global Financial Crisis

This article deals with the concept of greed as pertaining to Business Ethics in today’s world, considered part of the system of the study Ethics as such, in the backdrop of the recent happenings in the financial world in the USA, whose repercussions have been felt all over. The analysis draws inspiration from the words in the Mahabharata, both with a view to improving the existing theories in place in the West today, as well as having a handle on greed management so needed to set liberalism on the right footing. The article brings into focus the secular spirituality imbedded in the epic relating to the concept harmony, without recourse to God parlance, a virtue around which the ethical considerations move, bringing a needed improvement on the Virtue Ethics of today, and harmonizing the three conflicting ethical theories of the day. Greed management is effective only when we look beyond science to the area of values putting the right emphasis on Virtue Ethics.
