Gynocentrism

Autor: Peter Wright

Número de Páginas: 128

Gynocentrism, a centuries old term, refers to the principle of female centeredness or female dominance in various social or interpersonal contexts. The term has recently enjoyed a resurgence, serving again as a descriptor of the expanding yet centuries old obsession with the rights, status, and power of women. This book traces the history of that tradition to its roots in medieval society, while being careful to note the difference between benign gynocentric acts and the more problematic examples of gynocentric culture. The essays collected in this volume were originally penned for the website Gynocentrism and its Cultural Origins, and have since been revised for this eBook edition. The essays are grouped into five parts exploring various aspects of gynocentrism, and providing examples of the phenomenon from historical literature. The final part, Post Gynocentric Relationships explores the possibility of relationships built on the notion of friendship as an alternative to neurotic shibboleths of romantic love.

Globalization, Human Rights and Populism

Autor: Adebowale Akande

Número de Páginas: 1030

This book offers a comprehensive and multidisciplinary global overview of populism and human rights in the light of globalization. It examines why the dominant (neo)liberal paradigm of the last decades resulted in major economic and social inequalities which resulted in the surge of national populism, led by the election success of right-wing parties, movements, and leaders across the world. It discusses, among other topics, the success of Brexit in Britain and the election success of Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen and explains why there is a need for a dialogue on human rights and globalization in this era of populism. Further contributions analyze various important topics of the field, including cross-culturalism, globalization, human rights, challenges and threats, diversity, curbing global corruption, sustainable development, populism, the decline of free speech, the new nationalism, internationalization, global regime of human rights, leadership theory, global management competencies, gender, quality management, individualism-collectivism, and examples of new initiatives in global organizations. This makes the book a valuable and useful resource for students, researchers, and ...

Arrogance

Autor: Bernard Goldberg

Número de Páginas: 230

Former CBS News correspondent Goldberg cites example after example of what he identifies as distorted reporting and asserts that these examples prove the pervasiveness of a liberal bias in the mainstream media. His credibility is diminished by a breathless, scattershot approach and sketchy documentation of examples (many taken out of context); but his points seem to be that attuned citizens will find such examples everywhere they look and that honest journalists should open their eyes. He includes a section of contact information for conservative organizations and think tanks.

Same, Different, Equal

Autor: Rosemary C. Salomone

Número de Páginas: 304

Although coeducation has been the norm within private and public schools since the 1970s, single-sex education has staged a comeback in recent years as a means of addressing the academic and social problems faced by some students. Single-sex education raises controversy on ideological grounds, and in 1996 the Supreme Court struck down the all-male admissions policy at the Virginia Military Institute in a decision that has cast a legal cloud over public initiatives. In this timely book, Rosemary Salomone offers a reasoned educational and legal argument supporting single-sex education as an alternative to coeducation, particularly in the case of disadvantaged minority students. Salomone examines the history of women’s education and exclusion, philosophical and psychological theories of sameness and difference, findings on educational achievement and performance, the research evidence on single-sex schooling, and the legal questions that have arisen. Correcting many of the current misconceptions about single-sex education, she argues that it is a viable option and that the road to gender equality should be paved with diverse educational opportunities for all students—regardless...

El cultivo de la humanidad

Autor: Martha Craven Nussbaum

Número de Páginas: 346

La educacion superior debe tener por meta crear una comunidad de personas que desarrollen el pensamiento critico, que busquen la verdad mas alla de las barreras de clase, genero y nacionalidad, que respeten la diversidad y la humanidad de otros. Eso creian Socrates y Seneca. Eso creian los fundadores del sistema universitario norteamericano, que ofrece, mas que carreras especificas, una preparacion general para llegar a ser un buen ciudadano. Y eso cree Martha C. Nussbaum, quien aqui establece los tres valores primordiales de lo que entiende por educacion liberal: el examen critico de uno mismo, el ideal del ciudadano del mundo y el desarrollo de la imaginacion narrativa. Mediante el analisis de cursos, curriculos y practicas institucionales, El cultivo de la humanidad quiere mostrar hasta que punto estos valores estan presentes en facultades y universidades, tras instaurarse diversas reformas tendentes a la integracion de estudios multiculturales y de minorias. Y, ante el temor de algunos al relativismo moral que creen que se expandiria con estas reformas, Nussbaum asegura que estudiar y aprender sobre un tema no tendria por que corroer nuestro juicio moral sobre el.
