2021
La ética es un pilar fundamental en el funcionamiento de cualquier organización. Sin embargo, hemos tenido conocimiento de prácticas poco éticas en diferentes empresas alrededor del mundo, y esto ha sacudido nuestra confianza en las empresas y los que las dirigen. Por ejemplo, el Índice de Percepción de la Corrupción 2019 presentado por Transparencia Internacional cada año revela que casi el 70% de los países evaluados obtuvieron calificaciones por debajo de 50, con una calificación promedio de 43 en una escala de cero a 100, donde cero significa alto nivel de corrupción (Transparencia Internacional, 2020).

LA PEDAGOGIA IMPLICITA IN SAN JOSEMARÍA ESCRIVÁ DE BALAGUER
2015
Escrivá non è stato un pedagogista ma un formatore, non ha scritto un trattato di Pedagogia ma durante la sua vita (1902-1975) ha formato centinaia di migliaia di persone di tutte le età e condizioni. Dagli scritti e dalle opere di san Josemaría Escrivá, fondatore dell’Opus Dei (una istituzione gerarchica della Chiesa cattolica, che si propone di diffondere una profonda presa di coscienza della chiamata universale alla santità e del valore santificante del lavoro ordinario), è possibile ricavare alcuni canoni ispiratori dell’azione educativa e formativa, una vera e propria “pedagogia implicita”. L’antropologia di riferimento di Escrivá si radica nella considerazione che ogni uomo è figlio d…
Are Virtues Shaped by National Cultures or Religions?
2012
The present paper examines the relative influence of religion and nation on conceptions of virtues. In a first study, conducted in the Netherlands, 926 respondents of different profession, age, sex, and religious background rank ordered a list of 15 virtues.

In the second study, the influence of national cultures was examined. Adults (N = 795) from two culturally relatively similar countries, Germany and the Netherlands, and from Spain rated the same list of virtues. Crossnational differences between…
