The authors of this volume argue for a critical democratic citizenship in which students combine autonomy and critical thinking with justice and social care. The contributors to this volume are leading researchers in the field of moral and democratic education and they all combine profound theoretical foundations with empirical research that can help practitioners in their pedagogical actions. The first three articles focus on values and what students might learn from them. An important question is what students can learn from moral mistakes. The second part of the book focuses on the role of teachers in moral and democratic education. What is their pedagogical professionalism and how can that be strengthened by teacher education and by collaborative action research? The third part looks at the development of moral and democratic education in schools. It shows how schools can stimulate the development of students' values with regard to critical democratic citizenship.(Publisher).

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Calling an epoch Middle Age already involves some sort of judgment. But Middle Ages represent a historic period, in which the identity was established, which was denied by the renaissance, modern world and which however is now being discovered again in its sense and beauty. It is a period in which a co-existence between faith and intellect, between ecclesiastical and profane culture was possible. It was a varied living space in which philosophy, mystique and practice could exist side by side. It is a world which is lost today and which we can get a hold of again only by intellectual appropriation. The text presents boundaries and concepts of the Middle Ages and its philosophical and theological thinking. It follows the selected characters of scholastic tradition from 5th to 13th century: Boethius, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, Johannes Scotus Eriugena, Anselm of Canterbury, Peter Abelard, Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas.

The aim of this book is to contribute to the discussion of citizenship through "citizenship awareness", because the phenomenon of citizenship, which is sometimes included in other political and social theories in the Western literature, is an even less studied subject in the "citizenship awareness" dimension. This book, while giving the opportunity to examine the views of academicians and intellectuals living in the modern and post-modern period on citizenship through a single text, provides the views of these individuals within the framework of "citizenship awareness" to those who are interested in the subject with different comments and evaluations. It is observed that human beings are evaluated in terms of citizens and citizenship together with their "rights" and "responsibilities" during the process from the formation inherited from the ancient Greek to its modern version. This book clearly determine all problem areas related to citizenship in current political and social theories.

The 2007 financial crisis and the Great Recession have prompted a debate about the state of macroeconomics, and many orthodox economists have argued that macroeconomics has entered a Dark Age. This book discusses the shortcomings of the standard macroeconomic model (SMM). The SMM failed to explain the real world and anticipate the global financial crises. The main reasons for this failure have been attributed to its inability to assign an active role of money and by the absence of appropriate modelling of financial markets. The book also discusses how the SMM can be reformed to better account for the real world and policy prescriptions, such as the Chicago Plan, that can reduce the risks emanating from excessive money creation by banks. This book discusses the shortcomings of the standard macroeconomic model (SMM). The SMM failed to explain the real world and anticipate the global financial crises. The main reason for these failures was the lack, in the SMM, of any role of money and the way the financial sector works.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The aim of this short book is to present the elements of a systematic theory of certain types of finitely additive probability measures on a set of positive integers. The conventional name of this measures is density with an adjective. Every set of positive integers is finite or infinite countable. It is, thus, impossible to consider a sigma additive probability measure defined on a certain class of the sets of positive integers, which could distinguish between the finite and infinite sets of positive integers. The greatness of the first is negligible. From the point of view of cardinality, the second has the same greatness. If we want to consider the measure of greatness, which could divide the sets of positive integers from a certain aspect of their structure, it is more convenient to consider the finitely additive measure. We shall study four most known types of these set functions. One of the important rules in the set of positive integers is played by the relation to divisibility, thus our main attention is devoted to the connection between density and this relation. We try to derive some known results from the basic definitions.

Participants responded to a selection of scales from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2), the Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ) by Schwartz, and a measure of acculturative stress. Acculturative stress and German racism emerged as strong predictors of poor mental health, with problems becoming worse over the years of stay in Germany. Particularly among economic refugees a precarious job situation and family fragmentation added grossly to acculturative stress. As John W. Berry, the nestor of acculturation research puts it in his epilogue: What can only help is an increase in basic hospitality: Making African immigrants welcome in their new home is needed, not a bulwark Europe. Participants responded to a selection of scales from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2), the Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ) by Schwartz, and a measure of acculturative stress.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The securitization of migration in the EU is a popular subject in international security studies. However, securitization theory has long been criticized for being gender blind. To overcome this limitation, the thesis connects the Copenhagen Schools framework to the study of the "gendering" of migration by addressing the knowledge gap of how gender can be integrated into securitization theory. The aim is to identify how gender constructions contribute to the framing of the referent object and the existential threat in the securitizing moves by the EU. An adapted conceptual framework on securitization, gender, and migration is applied to the EU migration management architecture. Employing the qualitative feminist methodology of Critical Frame Analysis, the book explores how the securitization of smuggling and trafficking is rooted in gendered constructions of vulnerability and threat based on stereotypes of femininity and masculinity. The thesis links the Copenhagen Schools securitization theory to gender studies, examining how gender shapes the referent object and threat in EU migration discourse. Using Critical Frame Analysis, it explores how smuggling and trafficking are framed through gendered notions of vulnerability and threat.
