... built on valuing and legitimising the specific resources of the partners, whether these are material resources, managerial coordination, local information, professional expertise, entrepreneurship or the enthusiasm and energy of residents. Clearly there is a need to recognise the interests, contributions and reciprocal potential of women as well as men. An increasingly common approach to democratising and fostering the concept and process of gender-sensitive partnership, is to consider women as equal stakeholders, with specific interests and needs. While this can be useful, a potential danger is to c ...

Describe The Affect Of Utilita
Number of Words: 1424 / Number of Pages: 6
... is something good, then we gain positive utility, and negative utility otherwise. Therefore, Utilitarians justify their actions by calculating the utility they derive from the consequences of their action.
Even in Utilitarianism, we could categorize them into mainly two parts. Benthams just emphasizes on treating the utility gained or lost as a unit by itself. Whereas Mills insists that even when judging an action only by the reviewing the consequences, we have to consider the magnitude of utility gained or lost by doing the action. Which is somewhat closer to the real life scenario. Therefore, there ...

Penguins
Number of Words: 1053 / Number of Pages: 4
... penguins
appear myopic, inefficient and generally out of place.
In fact the reverse is true. During a recent stay on the Falkland Islands,
a Canadian researcher discovered that penguins are able to recognize
individuals and navigate the rocky terrain on which they live quite well.
Long of body and short of leg, they probably poke their heads forward as an
aid to balance. And as for looking at the ground, they're merely-like us-
keeping an eye on where they're going.
The human eye is adapted for aerial vision, which is why scuba divers-or
even you and I in the local swimming pool-must wear go ...

The Sir Thomas More Circle

... positions as members of the political establishment. They were also courtiers. Nevertheless, let me turn briefly to the humanists ideas for reform as these were put forth by members of . You might at some point wish to consider More's Utopia in this particular historical context.
First and foremost, perhaps, the members of the More circle vigorously supported the general humanist trend away from scholasticism and towards making rhetoric the basic subject of the educational curriculum; and for models of rhetoric they turned (as Petrarch had before them) to the classics, and especially to Cicero. Bu ...

The Labor Debate, An American
Number of Words: 702 / Number of Pages: 3
... to employ any American. The job sights include unsanitary conditions, dangerous equipment use without proper safety precautions, extremely long working days, and less than minimum wage for average pay. There is not one citizen in this country that would stand for such an outrageous environment to work in. Many would go directly to an inspection board to have the factory/plant evaluated to see if the factory could pass any sort of inspection. Hence, the factory/plant would be closed down and there would be even fewer jobs for Americans.
Those immigrants out there that are working are helping to co ...

Gendre Stereotyping
Number of Words: 559 / Number of Pages: 3
... despcription of what it is to be masculine is to be strong, to be able to support a family, and to have high stamina. On the other hand, what it is to be feminine is to be a loving mother, and to stay home with their kids. Men and women have very specific and very different dress codes. Men must where suits and women must wear dresses. Men must stay away from feminine colours such as purple and pink. Whoever crosses the gendre based lines may be made fun of or shunned by others.
We are not only trying to fit in the gendre molds ourselves, but also tend to pass them on to our own children. We attempt ...

Definition Of Race
Number of Words: 2011 / Number of Pages: 8
... of Nazi Germany. By limiting the criteria to certain physical characteristics, anthropologists at one time agreed on the existence of three relatively distinct groups of people, namely Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid, distinguished by such traits as skin color, hair type and color, shape of body, head, and facial features, and blood traits. Today, however, there is no scientific basis whatsoever for a general classification of races according to a scale of relative superiority, and racial prejudices and myths are no more than a means of finding a scapegoat when the position of individuals and th ...

Sports And Nationalism
Number of Words: 2879 / Number of Pages: 11
... as an idea that is too innocent to actually carry the task of fueling nationalist ideals. For the past six decades, sport has been used as a vehicle to help fuel the ideas of nationalism . The meaning of athletic competition is often overlooked and when taking examples of athletic competition on the international level, ideas of nationalist sentiment are vividly represented.
The first step is to define the idea of nationalism. Defining nationalism is not an easy task but as a start, one must define its root word- "nation". Nation can be defined as, "people whose collective identity is based on co ...

Rape- How Can We Change
Number of Words: 1135 / Number of Pages: 5
... Brandeis University said: "I do not think that we have a significant problem here because we have a sophisticated and intelligent group of students" (Sweet 93). Dean Crafts went on to mention that "vandalism and physical harm are more likely to occur with lower educational levels" (93). Mr. Crafts’ feelings on the subject of rape concur with those of "middle class America." Most of us feel that rape occurs only in the lower socioeconomic classes of America and not amongst those with higher educational backgrounds. Contrary to most of our beliefs, rape exists in the upper and middle classes as w ...

Oil Never Sleeps
Number of Words: 504 / Number of Pages: 2
... I
realize that bicycles have a lot more oil in them than you might think. All
of the safety gear is oil, the helmet, pads, shoes, lycra shorts, bottles,
even the wristwatch. The same applies to skateboarding.
At this point I look up and see thousands of gallons of oil in my
house. I'm surrounded by it. My sofas, phones, t.v., vcrs, planters,
catbox, computer system, picture frames, all of my product containers,
security system, bags, tapes, cameras, even the pen I'm using. I wear it,
put it in my mouth twice a day to clean my teeth, massage my head for
vanity with it, cover my eyes with ...
