Racism and ethics in the globalized business world
2002
This paper analyzes the concept of racism in the context of business ethics and globalization. It first introduces three ethical traditions to understand moral issues in business: deontological, utilitarian and virtue ethics. Then it discusses about the challenges and demands that globalization has set to multicultural and multinational business operations. Third, it clarifies how racism works when it is understood as an ideology‐based phenomenon. It argues that there is a great value of knowing how racism works for the development of an anti‐racist and nondiscriminating organization. Although any of the three traditions on ethical thinking does not give direct answer to the question of how…
Sexuality and Dissent in Fernando Arrabal’s Work
2020
En este artículo pretendemos analizar la presencia y la importancia de las sexualidades no normativas, o que escapan a la función reproductora, en la obra de Fernando Arrabal, autor español, nacido en Melilla en 1932, “desterrado” en París, donde vive desde 1955. El trabajo está dividido en tres partes: en la primera, expondremos la relación que existe entre Eros y Thanatos para dilucidar las relaciones que se establecen entre erotismo y pulsión de muerte, entre amor y sufrimiento en su obra; en la segunda parte, abordaremos el Deseo homosexual para exponer los aspectos narcisistas y sadomasoquistas del mismo que aparecen en la creación arrabaliana; en la última parte, titulada Placeres fál…

The chapter maps the journalism educators that have been teaching Immersive Journalism courses. Associate Professor of Practice Robert Hernandez from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles has been teaching immersive technologies for journalism since 2012. He …
Operationalization of un-captured GDP - Innovation stream under new global mega-trends
2016
With the understanding that current ICT-driven global development depends on a trend shifting from traditional co-evolution of computer-initiated ICT, captured GDP, and economic functionality to new co-evolution of the Internet, un-captured GDP, and supra-functionality beyond economic value, the following hypothetical view was postulated: The disparity between the world's ICT leader countries with respect to happiness/welfare amidst great stagnation (Finland) or conspicuous economic growth (Singapore) can be attributed to the difference of the state in the above shifting trends. The foregoing hypothetical view was demonstrated on the basis of an empirical analysis measuring dependency on un…
Applying the Identity Status Paradigm to Managers’ Moral Identity
2019
We investigated the applicability of the identity status paradigm in identifying different stages of moral identity maturity among managers, focusing on how they solve moral conflicts in the context of work. Researchers conducted two theory-driven studies. Study 1 was based on focus group discussions among 16 managers, while Study 2 was based on open-ended questionnaire items from 180 managers. Both studies supported the hypothesized identity statuses. The status named diffusion included a lack of commitment to moral values and associated with avoiding moral questions at work. In foreclosure, extrinsic (e.g., organizational) values were adopted and applied to personal decision-making. Manag…
Derechos humanos y virtudes fundamentales
2013
Al establecer los derechos humanos dentro de un constitucionalismo democrático en vez de hacerlo en la verdad de la persona, los legalismos entran en un círculo infinito. Entonces, es necesario asentarlos en un fundamento pre-legal, previo a toda deliberación que incluya las virtudes clásicas de la coexistencia humana que hacen posible cualquier proceso democrático. Aunque este documento se centra básicamente en la justicia, el éxito, el coraje y la templanza como los goznes de toda virtud, también se refiere al valor del compañerismo, la simplicidad, la austeridad, la lealtad y la confianza hacia otros. Pero todo este marco axiológico nos obliga naturalmente a mirar hacia la familia, donde…
Virtuālās kopienas sajūta: Facebook domubiedru grupas "Vegan Latvia" gadījums
2021
Bakalaura darba temats ir “Virtuālās kopienas sajūta: Facebook domubiedru grupas “Vegan Latvia” piemērs”. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot kā virtuālās kopienas sajūtas teorētiskā perspektīva ir pielīdzināma Facebook domubiedru grupas “Vegan Latvia” biedriem un vai virtuālās kopienas sajūta ir saistīta ar indivīda ikdienas praksēm vegāniskā dzīvesveidā. Lai sasniegtu izvirzīto mērķi, autore veic teorētisku materiālu izpēti un ar tiešsaistes aptaujas anketām iegūst empīriskus datus. Darbā tiek secināts, ka virtuālās kopienas sajūta ir saistīta ar vērtību internalizāciju un indivīda ikdienas praksēm vegāniskā dzīvesveidā.
Velleius Paterculus: The Soldier and the Senator
2013
Velleius Paterculus spent many years as soldier and senator before writing his brief history in honor of Marcus Vinicius. In this paper, I suggest that his history reveals tensions between the public attitudes of Velleius the senator and the opposing convictions of Velleius the former soldier. While the senator dutifully praises the peace brought about by Augustus and Tiberius, the soldier continues to distrust peace, and to consider war the proper business of a Roman. This leads Velleius to undermine his praise of Augustan and Tiberian virtues, when he finds them inappropriate to actual or potential foreign enemies. peerReviewed

Retour sensoriel du toucher dans les environnements virtuels
2018
This thesis tackles the subject of the feedbacks of interactions in virtual environments. The theoretical part addresses the different perception schemes and the corresponding haptic modalities. We especially focused on the relevance of each modality for each use-case, on the compatibility with the visual systems which take an important place in virtual reality, and on the problematics of each situation. These studies led us to evaluate passive haptics and sensory substitution for interactions in CAVEs. The results show the importance of choosing the right modality relative to the scenario design. We also evaluated how mismatched the visual and haptic workfield can be, and how the performan…
