《蝇王》孔德社会发展理论之解读

作为一部现代寓言,《蝇王》这部小说隐含了许多象征。本文尝试运用孔德人类发展的"三阶段律"理论,分析小说中各个不同的人物的深层寓意,从而更好地揭示该小说的主题。     

迪尔凯姆道德重建的社会价值观

欧洲剧烈的社会变迁使现代社会出现了各种危机,迪尔凯姆认为其根源在于道德缺失,提出解决现代性危机的唯一路径就是从社会、职业团体和国家这三个层面进行道德重建,只有树立道德重建的社会价值观才能实现社会和谐。     

迪尔凯姆的自杀论与转型时期我国青少年自杀问题

当今的中国青少年处在一个经济全球化和世界一体化的整体格局之中,社会的变化、经济的改革以及文化的多样性,都会使青少年在成长过程中不可避免的会遇到来自各方面的困惑。如果不及时对他们进行辅导和帮助,青少年的自杀现象将会呈逐年增长的态势,呼吁全社会对青少年的关爱已经成为一个岌待解决的重要社会问题。迪尔凯姆的《自杀论》不仅能够帮助我们分析中国青少年自杀的社会原因,而且也有助于我们寻求解决这一社会问题的有效途径。     

从烂泥箐乡祭山神活动透视当地彝族原始宗教观

以前,烂泥箐乡的彝族与自然和谐相处,且对可砍伐的森林区域有着明确的规定,但是随着社会的发展,传统观念逐渐被淡忘。近年来,部分村民通过乱砍乱伐森林来获取经济利益,导致生态环境恶化。乡政府特意举办祭山神活动,一方面想唤起人们对传统观念的重视,另一方面想制止村民对森林的砍伐,保护生态环境。活动取得极大成功,透视出彝族人朴素的原始宗教观念,具体表现为对自然极为尊重。     

规范比较与功能比较——比较法方法之辩

功能比较的成功构建在源语言的建立之上,它弥补了规范比较的狭隘性,只要被比较的国家有相同的或类似的问题,就可以对它们对该问题的不同解决办法进行比较,从而大大扩展了可比性的范围。功能比较摆脱了本国法律概念的限制,有助于对各国法律制度中执行相同功能的不同规范进行归纳和总结。     

港澳台与内地律师制度之比较

我国的律师制度的发展一直以来同港澳台及外国律师制度息息相关,他们的迥异曾促进中国律师业的改革,外国律师业有着上百年的发展历史所积累的经验、理论、运作机制等等,都值得中国律师业学习和借鉴。随着香港和澳门的回归,作为国内律师界有必要对香港、澳门等地的律师制度有所了解。     

母语教育与外语教育之比较

经济全球化、文化多元化的背景对人才的培养提出了更高的要求,外语学习已渗透到每名学生的学习生活中,学生学习外语的时间甚至远远多于学习母语所用的时间。而母语教育与外语教育的性质、目的、价值和所承担的责任都有不同,外语教育不能替代母语教育是不争的事实。但在教育实际中母语教育却没有得到足够的重视,笔者希望通过对二者的比较使母语教育得到应有的关注。

The role of religious leaders on digital piracy attitude and intention

This study examines the role of religious leaders and individual's religiousness in affecting attitude towards digital piracy and behavior intention. The data analysis of 400 usable responses from a religious organisations provided several significant relationships. Attitude towards digital piracy and subjective norms has a negative relationship with digital piracy intention. There are also significant differences between highly religious and less religious respondents in terms of their attitude towards digital piracy, motivation to comply with their religious leaders, and intention to engage in digital piracy behavior.     

Acknowledging religious diversity: Opportunities and challenges

Because federal law protects an employee's right to religious accommodation, managers cannot ignore the issue of religious diversity. The matter is far broader than simple legal compliance, though. Certainly, managers need to better understand the laws protecting employees’ rights for accommodation and prohibiting disparate treatment, religious harassment, and retaliation. However, they also need to understand the various opportunities and challenges associated with acknowledging religious diversity. Concerning opportunities, research suggests that allowing employees to express aspects of their religion can enhance their work lives and, thus, the value they place on the organization. Furthermore, respect for religious diversity can encourage a useful mindset for communicating with other stakeholders in areas from advertising to the sports interests of salespeople. Since learning more about a range of faiths can lead to greater skills in working with diverse groups, we offer information on Prothero's God Is Not One: The Eight Rival Religions That Run the World—and Why Their Differences Matter and on different religions’ practices associated with death-related issues. In conclusion, we provide insight regarding the benefits of acknowledging religious diversity while respecting those who identify with no religion, and we do so without opening the door to proselytizing.     

The effect of corporate philanthropy on corporate performance of Chinese family firms: The moderating role of religious atmosphere

Drawing on sustainable family business theory and stakeholder theory, this study explores how corporate philanthropy affects corporate performance with the consideration of the moderating effects of religious atmosphere. Based on data of Chinese 534 listed family firms, the results show that corporate philanthropy is positively associated with corporate financial performance (CFP) and corporate social performance (CSP). Moreover, religious atmosphere negatively moderates the relationship between corporate philanthropy and CFP, but positively moderates the relationship between corporate philanthropy and CSP. Our findings provide systemic understandings of family firms' CFP and CSP by drawing important insights of corporate philanthropy and religious atmosphere.     

UNE MÉTHODE DE L'ANALYSE DES ÉCARTS POUR L'ÉVALUATION DE LA PERFORMANCE

This paper proposes a variance analysis approach that has some advantages with regard to traditional methods. First, the approach links the evaluation and control model with the strategic planning model. It presents, on the one hand, a methodology using linear programming as a model and on the other hand, the post-optimisation analysis as an evaluation tool. Moreover, this approach takes into account the ex-post conditions and identifies the areas departmental and functional responsibility through a model of flexible global budget. So, the resulting evaluation of performance is more detailed, more operational and more complete than that obtained by the traditional methods. Finally, the proposed approach is general enough to be applied to the analysis of performance of both manufacturing and service firms.     

Brands and religious labels: a spillover perspective

Abstract

With different religions mixing in many societies, religious consumer groups receive increasing attention as target segments. Trying to appeal to such religious segments, companies differentiate food products by adding religious labels (e.g. kosher or halal) to packaging. But while this makes the products more attractive to the consumers of the focal religion, adding a religious label may also impact the brand evaluation by consumers with no religious beliefs or a different religious orientation. Drawing upon social identity theory to explain the psychological basis of inter-group discrimination, and taking account of information integration theory to analyse how religious labels affect product and brand evaluations, this article aims to assess the spillover effects between religion and brand among consumers who are not part of the religious communities addressed by these labels. The findings indicate that the perception of religious labels on food packaging is influenced by the attitudes towards the religion and the brand, while the relative importance of both antecedents is dependent upon several consumer characteristics. The theoretical and managerial implications of our findings, the limitations of our work and directions for future research are discussed.
