Not unlearning to care – positive moral development as a cornerstone of nonkilling

ABSTRACT

In this theoretical paper, selected areas of moral development as well as some of the respective theories and models are used to characterise positive, healthy moral development. Such moral development is seen as one prerequisite of nonkilling. From a lifespan perspective, core concepts such as moral motivation and moral agency are combined into an understanding of moral development, as based on the making meaning of experience in the context of social interaction and co-construction. The aim of (socio)moral development is seen in moral maturity, that is, the genuine understanding of the way our own actions or nonactions affect the welfare of others, including the motivation, the sense of personal responsibility, and the will to act in such ways as not to harm or to protect or re-establish others’ welfare. Reaching this aim can be seen as the outcome of healthy moral development.     

人权法学视野下的私有财产权问题——兼与对其法制保障的初探

财产权是人类谋求生存与发展的基本权利,也是维系人类自由与尊严的根基。从人权法学角度来看,财产权同时又具有人权意义上的价值。因此,财产权制度在注重实现财产的经济功能的同时,也要关注社会的自由、平等与正义价值。人类社会发展至今,私有财产是其不可或缺的重要组成部分,人类参与社会生活的始终都伴随着其对财产权利的发展,因而,要注重加强对私有财产权的保障力度。     

Who Am I and Where Am I From? Substitute Residential Home Children’s Insights into Their Lives and Individual Identities

Abstract

Decisions regarding children’s residential care reorganisation are primarily based on an adult’s perspective of children’s wellbeing and care. While these adults tend to be well-intended and base their decisions off relevant evidence, the children’s perspectives ‐ which reflects their actual lived experiences ‐ is almost never considered. However, since children are experts of their own lives, they should have the right to participate and express their opinion: Their point of view could be of great value in developing residential child care. In this article, we provide SOS children’s insights into their own life experiences and individual identities. The data was collected during an ethnographic research in one of Estonia’s SOS Children’s Villages (SOS CV). This article aims to answer to following research questions: 1. What are the main topics in SOS children’s stories when they talk about themselves and their everyday lives in substitute homes? 2. What kind of identity can be determined from children’s stories? 3. How can the subtext within the children’s stories be used to develop a child-centred residential care? In this article, we present and discuss several key-findings. First, it is important to note that there are gaps in the children’s life stories, as they sometimes lack information about important people and events in their lives. Second, this lack of adequate information can damage the children's identities and, in turn, undermine their development. Third, the opportunity to talk about important life events encourages the children to ask questions, as they are interested in obtaining additional information to complete the gaps. Fourth, the children’s stories indicate the shortcomings of substitute homes, related to both culture and communication.     

行动视角下的社区应急管理策略与韧性机制建设：以杭州市杨柳郡社区为例

社区治理当前面临风险情境的挑战，因此需要加强社区应急管理体系以应对各类风险的冲击。居民有效参与是应对风险的重要因素，但已有研究主要从物质、制度和规范角度分析社区的应急体系建设，而较少讨论何种应急管理策略可以形塑恰当的社会环境以构建个体韧性，激活主体力量。对此本文结合行动系统理论，构建了行动视角的韧性机制建设框架，并结合浙江省综合减灾示范社区杭州市杨柳郡社区的案例分析，阐释针对行动系统不同部分的社区应急管理策略。研究发现，文化系统中的价值与规范是动机的来源，确定性是人格系统理性认知和行动的条件，党建引领和社群网络的结合是推动多主体参与的重要手段。本文通过构建行动视角下的社区韧性机制建设框架，对推动社区应急管理提供理论支撑和经验参考。

浅析违宪审查的正当性争议——比较法视野中立法权与司法权的分际

违宪审查与宪政建设构成了全部宪政建设的基本框架,同时违宪审查在一个民主国家被看做是法治的进步,进而受到极大的拥护和推崇.但近年来随着美国学者Bickel对违宪审查“抗多性困境”的提出,掀起了对违宪审查正当性问题的讨论热潮.在比较法的视野下讨论在美国和德国各自的法秩序,对违宪审查会产生何种争议,通过与前两种模式的对比,可...     

Forensic DNA retention: Public perspective studies in the United Kingdom and around the world

This review analysed public perspective studies on forensic DNA retention in the United Kingdom and around the world. The studies generally show strong public support for the long-term or indefinite retention of DNA from convicts and suspects. There is considerable support for the retention of DNA from all or some arrestees and potentially the entire population. This was predicated upon the belief that forensic DNA databases have crime-solving abilities, which the public rate highly. In the UK, it was found that the current Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 regime is broadly representative of the recommendations of the surveyed British public. Nevertheless, the studies highlighted a gap in forensic DNA education among the public, suggesting that public views may not be well informed. Overall, there was clear evidence of privacy concerns and the potential misuse of DNA records among the public, with a significant number opposing the retention of DNA from the innocent. It was found that most of the studies were qualitative or non-representative of the relevant population, limiting the generalisation of the results. There was also limited studies among a representative sample of primary stakeholders who are well-informed or directly exposed to the benefits, challenges and risks associated with DNA retention. A research into stakeholders rating of different forensic DNA retention regimes is therefore highly recommended. This is important because the studies suggest divergent views among criminal justice professionals and other members of the public, with the former expressing expansive views and the latter expressing restrictive views. The primary stakeholder's survey will help establish whether the relevant safeguards have been put in place to protect both public security and individual interests.     

Scar Literature reconsidered: Yan Geling's novels The Criminal Lu Yanshi and A Woman's Epic

This paper reconsiders the political dynamics, social disorder, and personal traumas endured during China's socialist revolutionary times by examining the Chinese American writer Yan Geling's (b. 1958) two Scar Literature novels, The Criminal Lu Yanshi (Lufan Yanshi, 2011) and A Woman's Epic (Yige nuren de shishi, 2006). Employing Hannah Arendt's theory on totalitarianism, this paper investigates how Mao's authoritarian rule transmutes Chinese society into an atomized and individualized society. It will reveal how this totalitarian rule over the Chinese intellectuals, by the brutal use of the re-education system, succeeded in isolating them, which then led to intense feelings of solitude. The objective of this paper is to undo and rectify the historical and cultural “memory loss” caused by the current trend of depoliticizing, commercializing, and sensualizing the socialist revolutionary memories as demonstrated by the televisual postmodern repackaging of the Maoist past to be found in the mediasphere of present-day China, which forgets the horrors of the Cultural Revolution as crimes against the Chinese people.
