Duality Of Values Research Articles

English

The aim of this study is to identify the conditions which encourage some people to start begging using a grounded theory approach. As such, 23 beggars in a city called Mashhad were selected through theoretical sampling in 2020. The data collection techniques included participatory observation and in-depth interviews. Rejection by family and the weakening of social networks were the main conditions underlying the resort of individuals to begging indicating that beggars turn to panhandling as they know there is someone out there to help them. The duality of values in society, such as the culture of giving and the interdict of begging, which in turn has changed the style of panhandling, provides the ground work for growth of begging. The religious culture (Islam) in the community made it obligatory for every Muslim to give alms (In form of Zakat and sadaqa) and it does not in any way support begging; also, it is treated as a crime in the eye of the law. The research findings show that beggars resist the term begging!   Key words: Begging’s, religious culture, in-depth interviews, participatory observation, grounded theory.

The duality of ideas and values between couples and their reflection on the educational role of the family: ازدواجية الأفكار والقيم بين الأزواج وانعكاسها على الدور التربوي للأسرة

This study aimed to discuss the duality of ideas and the duality of values between couples. It aimed also to showcase the reflections of that duality on the educational role of the family. The researcher used the descriptive analytic approach and the study reached multiple results, in particular: The intellectual duality and the duality of values is created because of the cultural, social and religious contrast between the couple. The intellectual convergence and the convergence of values between the couple is one of the most important factors in family stability. Children are negatively influenced by the intellectual contrast and the contrast of values between the parents because they receive two opposite messages which negate the educational effect of both of them. The researcher has recommended a number of recommendations, the most important of which are: Care for the partner selection stage: because it is of the utmost importance in building a family, so the intellectual and value convergence should be in the priorities of the partner selection criteria.

Adding dynamicity to consumer value dimensions

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the dynamic nature of consumer value by proposing a causal model that shows the existence of sequentiality in value dimensions and in their influence on satisfaction and loyalty. The paper focuses on intrinsic dimensions of value (play, aesthetics, ethics and escapism), which are fully experiential, and therefore less studied in the literature. Design/methodology/approach The conceptual model proposed was empirically tested in tourist hotel accommodations. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, analyzing the experiences of 285 hotel guests with structural equation modeling-partial least squares. Findings The results reveal that the reactive dimensions of value (aesthetics and escapism) influence the active ones (play and ethics), which in turn affect consumers’ satisfaction and loyalty. Research limitations/implications This paper is exploratory and focuses on the intrinsic dimensions of value. Future research should consider the entire extrinsic/intrinsic value duality. This paper is based on a convenience sample consisting solely of hotel accommodation. Further studies based on a random sample and on other hospitality contexts would be required to generalize the results. Practical implications This paper can help hotel managers to understand the role and importance of each intrinsic dimension of value to successfully implement their relationship marketing strategies, defined by the chain value-satisfaction-loyalty. Originality/value This paper depicts the dynamic nature of value, with concatenated (and not simultaneous) effects of value dimensions on satisfaction and loyalty, which supports research in value co-creation.

Motivation Forms Regarding the Pro-Social Behaviour of the Teenagers at School.

Teenagers are considered a vulnerable group, not only due to the characteristics of their age, but also due to the high risk of their involvement in asocial behavior, as a result of many social problems, duality of values, confusion regarding decision-making at an early age, the absence of positive models to follow, not only at school, in the community, but also within their family. In the Albanian reality particularly, the building of self-esteem is not the only influencing element, in the formation of the concept on oneself, and the concept of personality, but also the frustration of a society, that has gone through a long period of transition, the aftermath of a dictatorship. On these grounds, the motivation forms of positive behavior have been influenced by the family authority, rule obedience as an escape from punishment, and not as a result of awareness, reward, and proper methods of teaching in schools. The aim of this work is to explore the motivation forms of the pro-social behavior, for the purpose of avoiding asocial behavior of teenagers in schools, via the effective communication, positive models, constructive teaching methods, proper parenting styles, socializing processes, removal of attention from asocial behavior and the providing of proper models to follow. The method used in this work will be the mixed research (qualitative and quantitative). Part of this study will be teenagers aged 15-17 years old (boys and girls) of a high school in the city of Kavaja (Albania) through filling out half structured questionnaires . We have interviewed also professional teachers, parents, social workers and psychologists, in order to provide a clear panorama of this context, by analyzing with existing cases and well determined intervention that bring forth a strengthening of positive behaviors and avoidance of asocial behaviors in teenagers. The findings of this study are closely related with the importance of any form of motivation in schools, in the teacher-teenager relationship, cooperation between their peers, the parent-teenager relationship in the implementation of the resulting positive attitude, through teaching a system of values and anti-values, the psycho-social motivating intervention during the teaching process that will be widely analyzed and that open many paths for further studies.

Hélène de Troie et son ≪double≫ dans la littérature grecque (Homère et Euripide)

The myth of Helen in its different variants presents her as a most controversial person. Until now, her character, motivations, behaviour and deeds have been the object of conflicting opinions: ≪femme fatale≫ or an innocent victim, a noble lady of incomparable beauty and charm or a ruthless, passionate and adulterous woman. In the oldest epic poems (Homer and the Cyclic poets) Helen appears in three aspects: (1) Innocent seduced and carried away by the Trojan prince against her wishes. She feels wretched at having caused such disastrous consequences. (2) Guilty of infidelity having eloped with Paris on her own accord - but deeply distressed by all the misery for which she considers herself responsible. (3) An object, ≪res≫, acting under the influence of Aphrodite who put perverse desires in her heart, and erased her wit, letting her go astray. She is nothing but a helpless toy in the hands of the Gods and of Paris. In the Greek and Roman tradition, the common opinion considered Helen responsible for all the blood and tears shed in the Trojan war. Contrary to that prevailing opinion Euripides seems to display the absurdity of those accusations and, what’s more, he wants to clear Meneias’ wife even of the charge of infidelity, which he must have considered nothing but a moment of weakness, that later resulted in the loss of so many lives. Thus, following Stesichoros’ idea he wrote the play ≪Helen≫ where he created two Helens. The authentic queen of Argos has never reached Troy but has been transferred by divine orders to Egypt where, pure and faithful, she was longing for Meneias, looking forward to being rescued and brought back home. Paris carried away not her but her ≪double≫, a phantom (eidolon) made of ether, which happened to be the real cause of the Trojan war. In his tragedy Euripides invented not only two Helens but also two different worlds, playing on the duality of values, qualities, ideas - such as truth and error, good and evil, supposition and knowledge, guilt and innocence, name and body, life and death, hellenic culture and barbarian customs. The person and life of Euripides’ Helen has in that most original play served for its author to reveal the ambiguous nature of many situations, facts, convictions and phenomena, particularly that of reality and illusion.
