Book Synopsis Dilemmas of Educational Ethics by : Meira Levinson
Download or read book Dilemmas of Educational Ethics written by Meira Levinson and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators and policy makers confront challenging questions of ethics, justice, and equity on a regular basis. Should teachers retain a struggling student if it means she will most certainly drop out? Should an assignment plan favor middle-class families if it means strengthening the school system for all? These everyday dilemmas are both utterly ordinary and immensely challenging, yet there are few opportunities and resources to help educators think through the ethical issues at stake. Drawing on research and methods developed in the Justice in Schools project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Dilemmas of Educational Ethics introduces a new interdisciplinary approach to achieving practical wisdom in education, one that honors the complexities inherent in educational decision making and encourages open discussion of the values and principles we should collectively be trying to realize in educational policy and practice. At the heart of the book are six richly described, realistic accounts of ethical dilemmas that have arisen in education in recent years, paired with responses written by noted philosophers, empirical researchers, policy makers, and practitioners, including Pedro Noguera, Howard Gardner, Mary Pattillo, Andres A. Alonso, Jamie Ahlberg, Toby N. Romer, and Michael J. Petrilli. The editors illustrate how readers can use and adapt these cases and commentaries in schools and other settings in order to reach a difficult decision, deepen their own understanding, or to build teams around shared values.

Book Synopsis Moral Dilemmas in the Mahabharata by : Bimal Krishna Matilal
Download or read book Moral Dilemmas in the Mahabharata written by Bimal Krishna Matilal and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here the collected papers explore the whole question of the relation between the mythopoetic and the moral in the context of the Mahabharata. Here we have a story of extreme complexity, characters that are unforgettable, and a cosmic context in which gods and men alike grapple with destiny. The obligations of kinship and friendship jostle with each other. The women characters, as in everyday life, seem to bear a very heavy load of the burden of life and to stand in a key position in almost every conflict. We are presented with predicaments at every turn. At times these predicaments seem to be aggravated by social structure. At other times they are cushioned by it. Philosophical tangles tied up with karma and dharma are interwoven with the mythopoetic material. Perhaps philosophical issues are pinpointed rather more than they are in Greek epic literature. The essays in this book treat the Mahabharata from an unusual angle, fastening on the moral dilemmas it presents. How universal are the dilemmas faced by the characters in the story, and are the dilemmas in fact resolved? In dealing with these questions, the discussions range over the meaning of the purusarthas, the institutions of marriage and the family, the concept of action in the Gita and the special predicaments faced by Draupadi, Arjuna and others. These studies invite the scholar to reflect afresh on the text and encourage the general reader to find in epic literature much that is relevant to life today.

Download or read book Dilemmas written by Michael Jackson and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2024-12-10 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ingenious ways dilemmas are addressed in non-Western traditions Dilemmas explores some of the most pressing existential problems of our times, from climate change, political conflict, and social injustice, to balancing one’s own needs against those of others. Pushing back against the tendency to think of dilemmas as clear-cut binary choices, renowned anthropologist Michael Jackson shows us some of the ingenious ways that dilemmas are addressed in non-Western thought and oral traditions, as well as in Western philosophy. Drawing on examples from myth, literature, and his extensive ethnographic fieldwork in West Africa and Aboriginal Australia, each of thirteen chapters examines a particular dilemma and how it is experienced, circumvented, or reimagined. From the struggles of the Aboriginal people of Central Australia for land rights to Walter Benjamin’s harrowing journey across the Pyrenees as he fled German-occupied France in 1940; from the story of a suburban family in Aotearoa New Zealand adjusting to life in a commune to the dilemmas of migrants from the Global South trying to reconcile their search for a better life with their longing for home—Jackson interweaves philosophical reflections, insights from his anthropological fieldwork, and individual life stories. In striking a balance between our contradictory impulses to be both apart from and together with others, Jackson makes a case against identitarian essentialism, showing us how the oppositional thinking through which we often frame our contemporary dilemmas may be overcome.
Book Synopsis Resolving Social Dilemmas by : Margaret Foddy
Download or read book Resolving Social Dilemmas written by Margaret Foddy and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an accessible and state-of-the-art survey of current research on social dilemmas. A social dilemma arises when actions that are justifiable in terms of individual rationality (e.g. over-harvesting resources, or using private instead of public transportation) threaten the common good and in the long run the individual's own self-interest as well. The study of social dilemmas has important links with many areas in psychology, as well as with cognate disciplines such as risk analysis, environmental science, political science, and economics. Accordingly, the book should appeal not only to psychologists but also to a wider audience of scholars and researchers. Contributors include both established authorities and recent innovators, and the organization and contents of the book reflect the most recent trends in this exciting area. Increased attention is given to modeling dynamics and processes in social dilemmas, and greater emphasis placed on exploring structural solutions to dilemmas. New findings and theoretical developments regarding group and inter-group processes are highlighted and a move is made away from a heavy reliance on laboratory experiments and game theory to field studies and real-world applications. A scholarly prospective chapter at the beginning and an integrative concluding chapter provide useful overviews of the area and the contributions to the book.

Download or read book Joseph Conrad and the Anthropological Dilemma written by John Wylie Griffith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By situating Conrad's work in relation to other writings on 'primitive' peoples, John Griffith shows how his fiction draws on prominent anthropological and biological theories regarding the degenerative potential of contacts between European and other cultures. At the same time, however, Conrad's work reflected an anthropological dilemma: he constantly posed the question of how to bridge conceptual and cultural gaps between various peoples.

Just like the two poles on Earth never met, so was his destiny. On one side, he had Diya whom he could never get and on the other side was Niharika whom he could never loose and in the midst of all the chaos, he found his treasure.

Book Synopsis Dilemmas of Truth in Alain Badiou's Philosophy by : Giosuè Ghisalberti
Download or read book Dilemmas of Truth in Alain Badiou's Philosophy written by Giosuè Ghisalberti and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-25 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on Alain Badiou’s philosophy begins with a central theme: the attempt to trace how Badiou has replaced the tradition of critical theory and negation with an affirmative support of his four generic procedures (art, science, love, and art) as inseparable from his revitalization of both the subject and the concept of truth. By defining four procedures as conditions of philosophy, Badiou makes the attempt to establish each as inter-related and systematically necessary to make a new proposal for thought. The fidelity to Badiou’s project for the 21st century, however, requires a fundamental examination: are his four truths complicated by an inescapable dilemma? And if so, can the four truths be retained, as a whole, or does the individual reader have to make a decision that will alter Badiou’s project and conclusions? By presenting the dilemmas of his thought, the scholarly reader will be in a position to then pursue the necessary study to come to their own conclusions and, by doing so, become sufficiently free to resist the many coercions of social and political life in liberal democracies today.

Book excerpt: There are so many musicians out there who have a passion and a love for their art. We spend hundreds of hours learning how to play our instrument, hours learning how to create songs that we're proud of, thousands of dollars on equipment we desire, and more. But let me ask you a question... How do you balance your art when you turn it into a business? You either have this art you've created and you feel a little weird trying to take something as personal as your music and turn it into something like a business, or you're someone who is potentially in or wants to get into the music business because there is an opportunity to become known or even well-known and potentially achieve some riches. Well if you're in this dilemma of not knowing whether you're going to make the move into fully committed music entrepreneur, then Musicians Dilemma is going to take you through the process of what it looks like to balance your art with your business so one doesn't effect the other in a negative way. There are musicians who are concerned that looking at their music through the lens of a business will somehow cheapen their relationship to music, other musicians are concerned after putting in a lot of effort to their music career that there has got to be a better way to look at this business. Musicians Dilemma will address both of these common concerns and give you the right shifts to make in your life to have a more balanced approach to both your art and your business as they work together in your music business. If you're ready to make the move, pick up your copy of Musicians Dilemma today!
Book Synopsis The Slaveholders' Dilemma by : Eugene D. Genovese
Download or read book The Slaveholders' Dilemma written by Eugene D. Genovese and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2021-09-08 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Slaveholders' Dilemma, Eugene D. Genovese explores the efforts of American slaveholders to reconcile the intellectual dilemma in which they found themselves as supporters of freedom but defenders of slavery. In the American South slaveholders perceived themselves as thoroughly modern, moral men who protected human progress against the perversions of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. Surprisingly, they also accepted the widespread idea that freedom generated the economic, social, and moral progress they embraced as their own cause. Nonetheless, they continued to defend slavery. In this compact but densely argued volume, Genovese rehearses the central arguments that would define the latter portion of his career, thus offering a window not only into the mind of the master class but also the mind of one of the most important scholars of the American South. A new foreword is provided by Douglas Ambrose, professor of history at Hamilton College and author of Henry Hughes and Proslavery Thought in the Old South.
Book Synopsis Dilemmas Of International Trade by : Bruce E Moon
Download or read book Dilemmas Of International Trade written by Bruce E Moon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the post-Cold War world, trade is the new arena for competition-between nations, between groups, between ethical and theoretical ideas. In this revised and updated second edition of Dilemmas of International Trade political economist Bruce Moon puts contemporary trade events--NAFTA, United States-Japan controversies, the Uruguay Round of GATT, China's Most Favored Nation status, the founding of the World Trade Organization--into historical and theoretical perspective with the British Corn Laws, the Great Depression, the Bretton Woods system, and the origins of the European Union. Economic theory, terms, and concepts are clearly explained and contextualized with those from international relations.Throughout the book, three central dilemmas are examined: the unequal distribution of income and wealth created by international trade, the tradeoff among competing values that trade requires, and the difficult interrelationship between economic and foreign policy goals within and among trading nations. Though internationally framed, each dilemma has ramifications at a variety of levels all the way down to the individual's role in the global economy-as a consumer, as a citizen, and ultimately as a moral agent.
