Moral Politics Theory Applied to Abortion: Utopias, Dystopias, and Dobbs
No full textThis article examines Moral Politics Theory (MPT) as a way to understand current tensions in the US concerning reproductive justice. MPT, as developed and researched for over thirty years by cognitive scientist, George Lakoff, provides a way to explain differences in political worldviews. According to Lakoff’s research in Moral Politics and Don’t Think of an Elephant!, conservatives tend to hold a strict-father model, and progressives hold a nurturant-parent model. People in the political middle tend to endorse both models; Lakoff labels those in the middle as “biconceptuals,” and discusses how this group is most susceptible to persuasion because metaphors frame the way we think. This article illustrates these different strict-father and nurturant-parent models through a discussion of Ursula K. Le Guin’s short story, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.” In the utopian Omelas, the peoples’ happiness is based on a dark secret which ensures “their happiness, the beauty of their city, the tenderness of their friendships, the health of their children, the wisdom of their scholars, the skill of their makers, even the abundance of their harvest and the kindly weathers of their skies.” Some citizens cannot abide by this ethical dilemma and leave Omelas. After analyzing this short story through MPT, this article turns to an analysis of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health. The article examines how MPT can inform the ways that divergent views of human behavior shape legal theory, and also how progressive and conservative agendas are shaped by metaphors, which are crucial in framing social issues
Guide to SEC and Business Open Source Corporate Intelligence
No full textAn agency of the U.S. intelligence community observes, The explosion of open source intelligence (OSINT) in recent years has transformed how governments and people around the world consume and process information about society and global issues. It is likely that We all use open-source and probably don\u27t even realize it, but we also use it for different reasons. You might use open-source information to do a credibility check and to find out more about the person selling you something on Facebook marketplace. Others may research someone… met on a dating app or before hiring someone for a job. Every use of a search engine such as Google or Bing constitutes a use of open source intelligence. Other examples of open source competitive intelligence includes: blogs; social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or YouTube; newspapers; Internet sources containing videos and images; The Dark web; and other websites. In a business context, prior to the past few decades, most databases containing detailed corporate information have been behind rather expensive pay walls. Disclosures required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-such as annual, quarterly, and notice of materially significant events-are a particularly valuable source of information for those engaged in business strategy. Other U.S. government agencies provide valuable information about various topics. This is the focus of our guide
