Win-Win business ethics engagement and corruption reform methods
No full textNo abstractThere has been comparatively less work done on how to effectively engage with and reform unethical and corrupt behaviors in business world; behaviors that can be both legal and illegal. According to the author, however, the research that has been done is very encouraging. Effective business ethics methods can be very profitable and sustainable. Effective business ethics methods can be learned and taught. Further, effective business ethics methods can help cause and stimulate better and greater socioeconomic development. In this paper, the author first considers nine types of effective business ethics engagement and corruption reform methods. Second, he examines in some detail six win-win methods with real case examples. Third, theoretical foundations for win-win methods and why win-win ethical business practices and relationships are profitable and sustainable are considered. Fourth, he discusses strengths and limitations of win-win methods. For the author, win-win methods can help facilitate ethical and mutually prosperous association
Profiling terror : gender, strategic logic, and emotion in the study of suicide terrorism
No full textRobert Pape's well-received book, Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism (2005), presents what appears to be a gender-neutral study of both male and female suicide terrorists. Pape's main argument is that suicide terrorism is a strategic and rational terror campaign against democracies. While the study argues that male and female suicide terrorists are rational individuals, it depicts women as motivated by emotion. Thus, this article argues that gender-neutral work is rarely gender-neutral and such studies fail to recognize the social and political impact of gender. Furthermore, we argue that the rational choice model presented by Pape furthers the gender divide by emphasizing values associated with masculinity over values associated with femininity. As an alternative, we propose three propositions to change the study of suicide terrorism to include both political and emotional motivations. We propose that gendered presentations of female suicide bombers reify stereotypical images of gender and of suicide bombers, that silence about the complexity of suicide bombers' motivations does not erase the many variables that go into martyrs' decisions, and that adding emotion to the study of suicide bombing counterbalances the narrowness of the "strategic actor" model. The essay concludes with evidence from the study of the Chechen "black widows" that demonstrates the explanatory value of these propositions.Peer reviewe
Modern Fables
No full textThis is a 70-page booklet that is 5¼" x 7¼". It features pairs of animals making different decisions. Frequently enough, the decision deprives a character of a chance for something. The pig that did not keep his face clean is disappointed that he does not win blue ribbons the way the pig with the clean face does. The curly-tailed dog wants a straight tail. He lets boys tie a can to his tail and soon regrets his decision. The gray kitten wants to be white and follows the monkey's bad advice to jump into a barrel of water. The runaway lamb ends up needing to draw a boy around in a cart. Each story has one black-and-white drawing.Laura Rountree Smit
Feature article about Laura Conaway\u27s attempt to find and bring home her runaway
No full textFeature article about Laura Conaway\u27s attempt to find and bring home her runaway brother, Brian, 14. She details how minors\u27 rights and confidentiality laws make it difficult for loving guardians to intervene when a child leaves home and exposes him to danger on the streets. For the last decade, advocates concerned about young people in Maine have tried to win support for Children in Need of Services laws. These exist in several other states to allow parents or caseworkers to obtain a court order mandating treatment for youths who desperately need help but won\u27t accept it
Edge contraction and cop-win critical graphs
No full textThe problem is to determine the number of ‘cops’ needed to capture a ‘robber’ where the game is played with perfect information, the different sides moving alternately. The cops capture the robber when one of them occupies the same vertex as the robber at any time in the game. A copwin graph is one in which one cop can always capture the robber. A graph is cop-win edge-critical with respect to edge contraction (CECC) when the original graph is not cop-win, but the contraction of any edge results in a cop-win graph. In this paper, classes of CECC graphs are determined, and k-regular CECC are characterized for k ≤ 4
