Book DescriptionThe provocative contention of the postmodernist and feminist essays in Ethics of the Body is that conventional bioethics is out of touch, despite its growing profile It is out of touch with an ongoing phenomenological sense of bodies themselves; with the impact of postmodernist theory as it problematizes the certainties of binary оещпг thinking; and with a postmodern culture in which bioscientific developments force us to question what is meant by the notion of the human self The authors demonstrate that the conventional normative framework of bioethics is called into question by issues as wide ranging as genetic manipulation, disability, high-tech prosthetics, and intersexuality The essays show how both the theory and practice of bioethics can benefit from postmodernism's characteristic fluidity and multiplicity, as well as from the insights of a reconceived feminist bioethics They address issues in philosophy, law, bioscientific research, psychiatry, cultural studies, and feminism from a "postconventional" perspective that looks beyond the familiar ideas of the body, proposing not a bioethics about the body but a radical ethics of the body After exploring notions of difference in both feminist and postmodernist terms,the book considers specific issues -- including HIV, addiction, borderline personality disorder, and cancer -- that challenge the principles of conventional bioethics The focus then turns to questions raised by biotechnology: one essay rethinks the traditional feminist ethics of care in the context of new reproductive technology, while others tackle genetic and genomic issues Finally, the book looks at embodiment and some specifically anomalous forms of being-in-the-body, including a consideration of intersex infants and children that draws on feminist, postructuralist, and queer theory.  2005 г ISBN 0262693208.

The new genetics and race, illness, and procreation Scientists are racing to unravel the code of life in our DNA sequences But once we know the code, will we know what life means? Will we know what to do with the powerful-healing, destructive, and marketable-information we will have? Barbara Katz Rothman's warm, learned, passionate, and humorous оещри voice is just the one we need to guide us through some of the most loaded issues and technologies of our time-ones that bear on the most intimate aspects of our lives Her astute observations about the new genetics are combined with personal reflections: about raising a black child; the risks of cancer; midwives and pregnancy; the social web into which we are born; motherhood; time, growth, chance, and all the indefinable things that make us human She helps us to think about the place of genetic science in our own lives, its role in our social world, and how we choose to think about human life itself A genetic map will take us places, but we need an imagination to see the relationship between DNA and public policy, between genes and the society we live in, and to understand why human life can't be reduced to genetics Rothman inspires that imagination, in a book that is essential reading.  ISBN 0807004510.

Book DescriptionEthical dilemmas are part of the daily landscape The authors' focus is on ethical issues relative to one area of professional practice--working with adult learners Whether engaged in program development, administration, teaching, or advising, the educator or trainer who works with adults is continuously challenged by potential оещрр ethical dilemmas This book is not intended to provide prescriptive answers to specific issues Rather, it can serve as a tool to help you (1) recognize potential ethical dilemmas, (2) raise questions you can use to negotiate your way through ethical dilemmas, and (3) identify strategies to promote open, non-confrontational discussions of ethics The discussion is directed to educators and trainers who work in the many diverse settings where adult learners are served, and to graduate students in masters and doctoral degree programs in adult education and training The model also has general application and is relevant to ethical issues in a wide range of professional and personal settings.  2004 г ISBN 0894649930.

Book DescriptionEthics, social responsibility, leadership, governance These terms are heard in the classroom, in the boardroom, and viewed on the front page of newspapers and magazines Yet serious attention to the relationships among these concepts is lacking Although commitments to leadership, ethics, and social responsibility are evident, оещрт individuals and companies are falling short in combining these duties into policies and cultures that guide behavior and decisions The missing element is a broad-based and integrated approach to responsible leadership and governance This volume provides the leading thinking on these issues and includes a discussion of emerging areas that require future attention The contributors - leading scholars in the fields of leadership, governance and social responsibility - summarize the state of the literature, identify complementary insights and perspectives, discuss areas of conflict and disagreement, and include a provocative and stimulating agenda for further investigation They point up practical consequences of these perspectives in light of developments that have exposed the shortcomings in practice Several contributors focus specifically on the challenges faced by global companies in developing and maintainingleadership and governance practices that are responsive to different national institutional and cultural settings Thorough coverage and insightful discussion make this an essential reference for scholars and students of leadership, corporate responsibility and professional ethics, as well as for all those directly responsible for establishing the ethical codes and practices of their organizations.  2005 г ISBN 1843766361.

Curiously, economists, whose discipline has much to do with human well-being, have shied away from factoring the study of happiness into their work Happiness, they might say, is an ''unscientific'' concept This is the first book to establish empirically the link between happiness and economics--and between happiness and democracy Two respected оещси economists, Bruno S Frey and Alois Stutzer, integrate insights and findings from psychology, where attempts to measure quality of life are well-documented, as well as from sociology and political science They demonstrate how micro- and macro-economic conditions in the form of income, unemployment, and inflation affect happiness The research is centered on Switzerland, whose varying degrees of direct democracyfrom one canton to another, all within a single economy, allow for political effects to be isolated from economic effects Not surprisingly, the authors confirm that unemployment and inflation nurture unhappiness Their most striking revelation, however, is that the more developed the democratic institutions and the degree of local autonomy, the more satisfied people are with their lives While such factors as rising income increase personal happiness only minimally, institutions that facilitate more individual involvement in politics (such as referendums) have a substantial effect For countries such as the United States, where disillusionment with politics seems to be on the rise, such findings are especially significant By applying econometrics to a real-world issue of general concern and yielding surprising results, Happiness and Economics promises to spark healthy debate over a wide range of the social sciences Авторы Бруно С Фрей Bruno S Frey Элойс Стутзер Alois Stutzer.  Издательство: Princeton University Press, 2001 г Мягкая обложка, 200 стр ISBN 0691069980.

You're young, ambitious, entering the field of your dreams; you're on your own, the competition is fierce--and then you see your chance: the big story, the big role, the big discovery But you'll have to cut a few corners, bend the rules, cheat a bit What choices will you make? After studying more than a hundred young people launching their careers, оещсо these longtime researchers of "good work"--work that is both skillful and honorable--find unsettling answers Although young workers know what it takes to do good work, they don't always feel they can follow the ethical route "Later, when I'm successful," is their implicit promise Making Good explores the choices confronting young workers who join the ranks of three dynamic professions--journalism, science, and acting--and looks at how the novices navigate moral dilemmas posed by a demanding, frequently lonely, professional life The authors also uncover striking comparisons between these young professionals and the veterans intheir fields--most notably, older workers recall inspiring models and mentors, while today's beginners see themselves as on their own With extensive insights into how young workers view their respective domains, the nature of their ambitions, the sacrifices they are willing to make, and the lines they are prepared to cross, this study will prove instructive to young employees and employers alike, as well as to those who wish to understand the shifting moral and social character of the working world.  ISBN 0674011945.

Our economy is focused on growth and profit In any given business, success is measured by the flow of money, not the interest of the people involved In BECAUSE PEOPLE MATTER, author Jurriaan Kamp tells us why there are better alternatives Kamp argues that the world economy is not only based on money, but on human choices as well It is those human choices оещсш that can promote the change necessary to transform our current crisis into a healthier economy that serves everyone He offers insights on subjects such as a new method of dealing with national income; taxing the use of raw materials rather than income; a world trade based on reciprocity; money without interest; and the liability of shareholders and managers for negligence and environmental damage Borrowing ideas from prominent economists, Kamp offers a coherent set of conditions for an economy in which it is the people who matter.  ISBN 1931044457.
