Islamophobia, Hateful Speech, and the Need to Practice Democratic Virtues
Get PDFThis essay examines the relationship between hateful speech and its potential and realized harmful effects socially and politically vulnerable groups, particularly Muslims, in a democratic society. I critically evaluate the assumption that free speech is an absolute value of secularism and the corresponding definition of Muslims as religious “others” in European and American democratic culture. Instead of arguing strictly for the legal regulation of hateful speech, however, I contend that the cultivation of civic virtues—specifically charity and solidarity—may counteract the harmful effects of such speech, and can lend moral justification for the right of free speech

The TAR folder contains linguistic data in three formats: Database: This is the format allows for the most robust searches and allows for powerful JOINs across corpus, lexicon, and source tables but requires knowledge of SQL. See Full-text corpus data for more information on how to use the database format. Linear Text: This format provides a textID for each text, and then the entire text on the same line. In this format, words are not annotated for part of speech or lemma. In addition, contracted words like can\u27t are separated into two parts (ca n\u27t) and punctuation is separated from words (eye level . As her). Word, Lemma, Part of Speech: Texts are separated by a line with ## and the textID
Animals, Ethics, and Process Thought: Hierarchy without Anthroparchy (A Response to Combs, Donaldson, and Sinclair)
No full textIn the present article the other articles in this Special Focus section on Process Thought and Animals are criticized. Both the strengths and weaknesses of the articles by Combs, Donaldson, and Sinclaire are detailed. Whitehead\u27s non-invidious hierarchy is defended
Servant-Leadership Characteristics, Personality Type, and the Hierarchy of Functions
Get PDFThe 2008 International Journal of Servant-Leadership featured a groundbreaking dialogue on Myers Briggs and Servant-Leadership written by Larry Spears and Ralph Lewis. In the intervening years, it has generated considerable interest among readers and researchers alike. Near the end of that dialogue, Larry asked Ralph this question: I am wondering if there is something here for servant-leaders that might be explored over time as a developmental tool, or as a piece of writing that would address the sixteen types in relation to servant-leadership
The Servant-Mentor: Raising up the Next Generation of Servant-Leaders
Get PDFAs a generation nears retirement age, a new generation of leaders prepares to fill the previous generation\u27s place in organizations across the globe. Organizations, both for-profit and not, face the challenge of raising up leaders that possess both the skills and loyalty needed to move forward while maintaining the organization\u27s core values. Contemporaneously, leaders in the twilights of their careers face new questions regarding their lives and legacies. This article begins by providing a brief history of organizational mentoring from both a formal and an informal standpoint. It will then move to thoughts on servant-leadership, creating the foundation for the core of the text, in which a servant-leadership-based mentoring model is proposed. The paper concludes with an acknowledgment of the need for further research into the intersection of servant-leadership and mentoring, including real world testing of a servant-mentorship model
A Predictive Model for Soil Seed Bank Outcomes in the Pyrenophora Semeniperda-Bromus Tectorum Pathosystem
Get PDFPyrenophora semeniperda is abundant in soil seed banks of Bromus tectorum, where it kills a fraction of seeds throughout the year. The pathogen engages in a race with host seeds for endosperm resources; the pathogen success is negatively correlated with seed germination speed. We developed a deterministic model to predict pathosystem outcomes (seed death versus seed escape), using seed bank data from 80 sites collected over a 13-year period. The response variable (killed seeds in the spring seed bank) was regressed on multiple predictor variables (pathogen and host densities at seed dispersal, amount and timing of precipitation). Increased mortality was associated with high seed rain, high pathogen density, and low autumn precipitation. On xeric sites, a positive feedback loop between pathogen and host is created by a large carryover seed bank containing secondarily dormant seeds vulnerable to fungal attack and results in higher inoculum loads at seed dispersal the following year
