This book was released on 2005 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los textos que han sido recogidos en esta obra constituyen una valiosa aportación al debate sobre la Responsabilidad Social de las Empresas (RSE). En ellos se refleja la rica pluralidad de voces y posiciones que suscitan los nuevos valores de responsabilidad, tanto en el ámbito del pensamiento y la investigación académica, como en el de las políticas públicas, las organizaciones empresariales y sindicales y de los propios dirigentes de las empresas. Sin embargo esta pluralidad de lecturas y de posiciones es compatible con dos tipos de acuerdos esenciales. El primero es la aceptación de la necesidad de un enfoque más responsable de la gestión, firmemente comprometido con el cuidado del impacto económico, social y ambiental de las decisiones y actividades empresariales. El segundo se refiere al desarrollo de una nueva visión de la empresa, como una institución mucho más abierta a otras necesidades, intereses y expectativas diferentes a las de los propios gestores y accionistas, lo que exige la búsqueda de un equilibrio más equitativo entre los distintos grupos participantes en la actividad económica (stakeholders) Tomás G. Perdiguero es profesor titular de Comunicación Audiovisual y Publicidad en la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid. Ha participado activamente en el debate europeo sobre la Responsabilidad Social de las Empresas. Entre sus principales contribuciones al desarrollo de la investigación en España sobre la RSE debe destacarse el libro La responsabilidad social de las empresas en un mundo global, finalista del Premio Anagrama de Ensayo en 2003. Es miembro del Grup d'Investigació sobre la RSE de la Universitat de València.

This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los veranos de 2009 y 2010 tuvieron lugar diversas actividades académicas en el marco de la Escuela de Verano de la Universidad de Salamanca en Trabanca. Ésta fue impulsada durante dos cursos consecutivos por el Servicio de Cursos Extraordinarios de la Universidad de Salamanca, que entonces dirigía D.ª M.ª Cruz Sánchez Gómez, y el Ayuntamiento de Trabanca, cuya alcaldía desempeñaba, y sigue desempeñando hoy, D. José Luis Pascual Criado. Entre septiembre de 2009 y julio de 2010 asumí la dirección del Curso Extraordinario y el Congreso Internacional que, con ese motivo, tuvieron lugar. Lo hice por encargo de las entidades organizadoras, que fueron, además de las más arriba mencionadas, el Departamento de Historia Medieval, Moderna y Contemporánea y el Centro de Estudios de la Mujer de la Universidad de Salamanca (CEMUSA), que tengo el honor de dirigir actualmente. Los historiadores Noemí Cubas Martín y David Hidalgo Rodríguez, técnicos culturales a la sazón del Ayuntamiento de Trabanca, se ocuparon eficazmente de las tareas de coordinación de ambos foros. Trató el Curso Extraordinario, que se celebró entre el 14 y el 16 de septiembre de 2009, de «La mujer a través de la Historia y el Arte» y se ocupó el Congreso Internacional que tuvo lugar entre el 5 y el 7 de julio de 2010, de «Cine y Mujer en perspectiva histórica». Ambos, pese a la diferencia aparente de temática, confluían, de acuerdo con el diseño efectuado desde el Centro de Estudios para la Mujer de la Universidad de Salamanca, en el análisis de las variantes y permanencias de contenido y de soportes de los discursos dirigidos a la reproducción, construcción y deconstrucción de estereotipos que determinan las relaciones de género, los cuales, desde tiempos remotos, y no solo en nuestros días, han apelado al intelecto de las clientelas a los que se destinan (discursos orales y textos escritos), pero también a sus ojos (discursos plásticos) y a sus oídos (discursos musicales), experimentándose no obstante con el paso del tiempo una creciente sofisticación de los recursos audiovisuales utilizados, con importancia creciente en la medida en que la cultura de la imagen, cada vez más potenciada, se sobrepone a la de la palabra. El libro colectivo que el lector tiene ahora entre sus manos, sintetiza, sin agotarlos, los resultados de un conjunto, en origen más amplio, de ponencias impartidas en las fechas más arriba reseñadas, acotadas, reorganizadas y englobadas ahora para atenerse a un título único. Con él pretendemos recordar que siendo siempre las relaciones sociales entre hombres y mujeres relaciones de poder condicionadas por los papeles que en cada momento histórico se asignan a cada uno de los sexos, y describiéndose, ordenándose, argumentándose o legitimándose éstas permanentemente mediante «discursos», estos últimos se modificarán de acuerdo al tiempo, la cultura, y los recursos técnicos disponibles. A lo largo de la Historia, el patriarcado, entendiendo por tal el duradero y extendido sistema dirigido a asegurar la dominación de las mujeres por los varones, capaz de acomodarse a momentos, culturas e ideologías muy distintas, experimentará avances y retrocesos no lineales, mostrando coyunturales o prolongadas variaciones de grado y echando mano de recursos múltiples, más ricos, como vamos sabiendo, de lo que los primeros estudios de género, centrándose prioritariamente en los textos escritos, tendieron a mostrarnos. Las estudiosas y los estudiosos de estas cuestiones distan de haber agotado la investigación posible sobre lo que revelan las esculturas, los templos, los escenarios de los ritos y fiestas religiosas, las danzas y canciones del pasado vistas en perspectiva de género, ofreciéndose el análisis de la pintura, la fotografía, la TV, la linterna mágica, internet o el cine de nuestros días como una interesantísima cantera de conocimiento sólo parcialmente explotada. En este libro tendremos ocasión de contemplar, a través de algunas muestras ilustrativas, sin pretensión de exhaustividad, el contínuum de contenidos discriminatorios por razones de sexo que va desde las narraciones míticas orales o escritas y el sistema normativo del mundo greco-latino a los tópicos cristalizados, por encima de los cambios jurídicos, en el folklore musical, que sobrevive al paso de los tiempos, o a los transmitidos de forma más explícita o subliminal por los avanzados sistemas de comunicación de nuestros días, singularmente el cine. Veremos también cómo feministas de diferentes países y personas dispuestas a defender el derecho a la no discriminación, tras tomar la palabra, y tras despejar dificultosamente los obstáculos que se oponían a su aprovechamiento de los recursos más convencionales, basados en la letra escrita, echan mano también de los emergentes, a medida que la presencia profesional de las mujeres se refuerza, para defender y difundir un «contradiscurso» alternativo y emancipador, tanto más necesario, cuanto que, en contrapartida, en pleno siglo XXI, ha de enfrentarse con otro discurso, ya no tradicional, sino técnicamente moderno, de naturaleza reactiva (contradiscurso pues del feminista), dirigido a frenar los avances de la igualdad antes de que ésta haya logrado culminar su obra: inquietante «vino viejo en odres nuevos», que puede revestir la forma de sentencias judiciales, artículos de prensa, blogs, webs en internet o sofisticados films mechados de discursos unas veces muy reconocibles y otros duales o inductores de confusión, pero finalmente hostiles a la igualdad de género.

Download or read book Disciplined Mind written by Howard Gardner and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brilliant and revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences reexamines the goals of education to support a more educated society for future generations. Howard Gardner’s concept of multiple intelligences has been hailed as perhaps the most profound insight into education since the work of Jerome Bruner, Jean Piaget, and even John Dewey. Here, in The Disciplined Mind, Garner pulls together the threads of his previous works and looks beyond such issues as charters, vouchers, unions, and affirmative action in order to explore the larger questions of what constitutes an educated person and how this can be achieved for all students. Gardner eloquently argues that the purpose of K–12 education should be to enhance students’ deep understanding of the truth (and falsity), beauty (and ugliness), and goodness (and evil) as defined by their various cultures. By exploring the theory of evolution, the music of Mozart, and the lessons of the Holocaust as a set of examples that illuminates the nature of truth, beauty, and morality, The Disciplined Mind envisions how younger generations will rise to the challenges of the future—while preserving the traditional goals of a “humane” education. Gardner’s ultimate goal is the creation of an educated generation that understands the physical, biological, and societal world in their own personal context as well as in a broader world view. But even as Gardner persuasively argues the merits of his approach, he recognizes the difficulty of developing one universal, ideal form of education. In an effort to reconcile conflicting educational viewpoints, he proposes the creation of six different educational pathways that, when taken together, can satisfy people’s concern for student learning and their widely divergent views about knowledge and understanding overall.
Download or read book Assessing Correctional Rehabilitation written by Francis T. Cullen and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-07-17 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theme that has persisted throughout the history of American corrections is that efforts should be made to reform offenders. In particular, at the beginning of the 1900s, the rehabilitative ideal was enthusiastically trumpeted and helped to direct the renovation of the correctional system (e.g., implementation of indeterminate sentencing, parole, probation, a separate juvenile justice system). For the next seven decades, offender treatment reigned as the dominant correctional philosophy. Then, in the early 1970s, rehabilitation suffered a precipitous reversal of fortune. The larger disruptions in American society in this era prompted a general critique of the “state run” criminal justice system. Rehabilitation was blamed by liberals for allowing the state to act coercively against offenders, and was blamed by conservatives for allowing the state to act leniently toward offenders. In this context, the death knell of rehabilitation was seemingly sounded by Robert Martinson's (1974b) influential “nothing works” essay, which reported that few treatment programs reduced recidivism. This review of evaluation studies gave legitimacy to the antitreatment sentiments of the day; it ostensibly “proved” what everyone “already knew”: Rehabilitation did not work. In the subsequent quarter century, a growing revisionist movement has questioned Martinson's portrayal of the empirical status of the effectiveness of treatment interventions. Through painstaking literature reviews, these revisionist scholars have shown that many correctional treatment programs are effective in decreasing recidivism. More recently, they have undertaken more sophisticated quantitative syntheses of an increasing body of evaluation studies through a technique called “meta-analysis.” These meta-analyses reveal that across evaluation studies, the recidivism rate is, on average, 10 percentage points lower for the treatment group than for the control group. However, this research has also suggested that some correctional interventions have no effect on offender criminality (e.g., punishment-oriented programs), while others achieve substantial reductions in recidivism (i.e., approximately 25 percent). This variation in program success has led to a search for those “principles” that distinguish effective treatment interventions from ineffective ones. There is theoretical and empirical support for the conclusion that the rehabilitation programs that achieve the greatest reductions in recidivism use cognitive-behavioral treatments, target known predictors of crime for change, and intervene mainly with high-risk offenders. “Multisystemic treatment” is a concrete example of an effective program that largely conforms to these principles. In the time ahead, it would appear prudent that correctional policy and practice be “evidence based.” Knowledgeable about the extant research, policymakers would embrace the view that rehabilitation programs, informed by the principles of effective intervention, can “work” to reduce recidivism and thus can help foster public safety. By reaffirming rehabilitation, they would also be pursuing a policy that is consistent with public opinion research showing that Americans continue to believe that offender treatment should be an integral goal of the correctional system.

Download or read book Fear of Crime in the United States written by Jodi Lane and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fear of Crime in the United States: Causes, Consequences, and Contradictions examines the nature and extent of crime-related fear. The authors describe and evaluate key research findings in the specific areas of methodology; gender, age, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status; contextual predictors; and the consequences of fear of crime. They discuss the improvement of fear of crime measures over time; the consistent finding that women are more afraid of crime; the impact of age, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status on fear; and the importance of environmental factors (such as witnessing crime and perceptions of diversity, disorder, and decline) and indirect victimization (through acquaintances and the media) on fear. The book also describes the physical, psychological, behavioral, and social effects of fear of crime. In the end, the authors tie the findings together to suggest important policy and research implications from the wealth of available research. There is no other book of which I am aware that so masterfully reviews empirical studies on fear of crime during the past half century to show how the research has changed and will continue to evolve. As long as there is crime, there will be perceptions of risk and fear of victimization; and Lane et al. help one to sift through the research with conceptual precision to formulate the most scientifically valid conclusions about the phenomena. The book is a hedgehog view of the research but points the way to needed research on topics such as fear of terrorism and how social context shapes perceptions of crime. The book is must-reading for those involved in research on victimization or fear of crime. - Kenneth F. Ferraro, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center on Aging and the Life Course, Purdue University This book consolidates the literature on fear of crime in a way that is unprecedented and that lends much-needed coherence to the area.

Download or read book Community Justice written by John R. Hamilton Jr. and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-12-08 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community Justice discusses concepts of community within the context of justice policy and programs, and addresses the important relationship between the criminal justice system and the community in the USA. Taking a bold stance in the criminal justice debate, this book argues that crime management is more effective through the use of informal (as opposed to formal) social control. It demonstrates how an increasing number of criminal justice elements are beginning to understand that the development of partnerships within the community that enhance informal social control will lead to a stabilization and possible a decline in crime, especially violent crime, and make communities more liveable. Borrowing from an eclectic toolbox of ideas and strategies - community organizing, environmental crime prevention, private-public partnerships, justice initiatives – Community Justice puts forward a new approach to establishing safe communities, and highlights the failure of the current American justice system in its lack of vision and misuse of resources. Providing detailed information about how community justice fits within each area of the criminal justice system, and including relevant case studies to exemplify this philosophy in action, this book is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of subjects such as criminology, law and sociology.

Download or read book Dictating Democracy written by Rachel M. McCleary and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the introduction: "There is a great deal to be learned from McCleary's work, and she raises serious questions not only about Guatemalan society but also about the democratization of societies in general. . . . We must be immensely grateful to her for providing us in clear and balanced terms with the first, and perhaps only, account and analysis of what happened during those critical days in May and June of 1993."--Richard N. Adams, Rapaport Centennial Professor of Liberal Arts, Emeritus, University of Texas, Austin Documenting a rare political occurrence, Rachel McCleary examines the evolution of the two major elite groups in Guatemala--the organized private sector and the military--during the country's transition from authoritarianism to democracy. Arguing that the transition resulted from a stalemate over economic policy, she shows how the two elites altered their relations from disunity (during the period from 1982 to 1986) to unity (from 1993 to the present). Not only does she describe a nonviolent settlement, she also discusses the development of democracy in a country that was directly caught up in Cold War relations between the United States and the USSR. Thus she makes a serious contribution to the study of democratization as well as to Latin American history. Rachel M. McCleary, professor of international studies at Johns Hopkins University, is the author of Seeking Justice: Ethics and International Affairs.
