Condit, Michelle. "A Comparative Case Study of Transformative Learning Among Conscientious Objectors." Thesis, Saybrook University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10289108.
Full textThis study aimed to answer the following question: What is the transformative learning process, if any, undergone by soldiers who apply for status as a conscientious objector? Answers to this question were sought through a comparative case study that involved four soldiers who while serving in the military during the Iraq War applied for status as conscientious objectors. Semi-structured interviews, documents submitted by soldiers involved in the study while in the military, archival data, and autobiographical material, both written and documented through audio-visual media, were used as data sources to inform each of these cases.
The case study methodology was selected for its exploratory capacity, as it can provide rich insight into the attitudes, beliefs and worldviews of the study’s participants by triangulating multiple sources of data. The researcher used semi-structured interviews to elicit openness of response by the participants, allowing for a process of discovery. Data analysis involved extraction of themes and statements that represented each individual’s thought process and experiences that contributed to his decision to apply for status as a conscientious objector. The themes and statements elicited from the study’s subjects were then evaluated from a transformative learning theory framework as developed by Mezirow (1991) to identify the degree to which the individuals underwent a transformative learning process.
Findings of this study indicated themes extracted from narratives of the four participants that could be categorized within Mezirow’s 10 phases of the transformative learning process. A disorienting dilemma was present within all participants’ interviews and rational discourse was the theme least reflected within the narratives. Each of the participants engaged in reflective thinking in making his decision to apply for status as a conscientious objector and then took action in submitting his application. Of interest is that each entered a period of participation in activism, which over time subsided. However, despite departure from participation in activism a change in worldview related to conflict resolution remained. Participants’ enlistments stemmed from a combination of factors including lack of employment opportunities prior to joining, family tradition, desire for structure, the desire to help others, family dynamics and a sense of patriotic duty and security within communities.
This exploratory research provided a starting point for potential future research within peace studies. Follow up inquiry may include further qualitative research into the experiences of soldiers who join the anti-war movement after completion of their term of enlistment.

Full textThis paper rests on the following theory: The sanctity of life principle is not necessarily violated by respecting the autonomous decision of a patient who, for religious or moral reasons, chooses one therapy over another that may be favored by the treating physician. Where a patient has decided for conscientious reasons against a certain treatment in any given medical situation, the need to be informed will shift from the patient to the physician. The physician must understand the nature of the religious or moral conviction, as well as his own moral and legal obligation to respect the patient's wishes by providing the best medical care under the circumstances.

Full textThe paper focuses on analysing the validity and application of the fundamental right of religious freedom within labour relations. For this reason, it examines the historical evolution of this right until it became the norm in modern Western countries, looking in particular at the case of Spain. In addition, it examines international and community legislation in this area. The work subsequently analyses the plurality of cultures and religions that characterise Spain today, a richness that can be transferred to the countrys workplaces. Because of this, and given the limited secularist phenomenon, it provides reasoning with which it aims to explain the nature of Labour Law in the 21st century, which faces the challenge of making itself an inclusive area of law. lt is supposedly inclusive since it is a religiously neutral area of law from a formal point of view judging by its precepts, though in practice it protects the convictions of everyone, thus preventing discrimination. From here, the paper goes on to focus on essentially three aspects and their manifestations in labour relations: the right to religious freedom, the right to conscientious objection on religious grounds, and the legal protection of religious workers from discrimination. The right to religious freedom must be granted to employed workers although, as with other fundamental rights, it may be restricted when properly weighed up against other legal rights at stake. Thus, the validity of the right to religious freedom in the workplace is safeguarded in several ways: 1) in the most extreme cases and where there is no other legal measure or practical recourse available to them, workers may defend their convictions by exercising the right to conscientious objection, which allows them occasionally to breach a legal obligation that would go against their convictions (ius resistentiae); 2) workers who are subject to discrimination for their religious convictions may make use of the anti-discrimination measures provided by law; 3) and finally, workers may exercise the right to religious freedom directly, to defend the aforementioned right in its negative sense where their convictions are infringed upon, as well as actively from a positive point of view, where it is necessary to remove legal obstacles and change the working conditions in respect of the right as far as possible. And this is precisely the most debatable aspect, though less so in Spain, of the legal effectiveness of the right to religious freedom, since it is this aspect that would historically determine whether Labour Law will see this right from a merely liberal point of view or, on the other hand, from a Rule of Law standpoint. The manifestations of these aspects analysed in the workplace include, among others, holidays and breaks, the use of religious symbols and attire, and proselytising activities. Furthermore, the concept of a company with religious leanings is also examined.
El treball es centra en analitzar la vigència i l'afectació de la relació laboral per part del dret fonamental de la llibertat religiosa. Per aquesta raó s'examina l'evolució històrica d'aquest dret fins a la seva generalització a la contemporaneïtat en els països occidentals, amb especial tractament en el cas espanyol. Així mateix s'examina la legislació internacional i comunitària en la matèria. Posteriorment, l'obra analitza la pluralitat cultural i religiosa per la qual es caracteritza Espanya a l'actualitat, una riquesa que és traslladable en els seus centres de treball. Per aquesta raó, i donat el caràcter limitat del fenomen secularitzador, es desenvolupa una argumentació encaminada a explicar les característiques del Dret del Treball del segle XXI, que té com a repte el transformar-se en un Dret inclusiu. La inclusió es produiria pel fet de tractar-se d'un Dret religiosament neutre des del punt de vista formal en quant als seus preceptes, però materialment garantista de les conviccions de cadascú, que evitarà així discriminacions. A partir d'aquí ('obra es centra essencialment en tres figures i les seves manifestacions en la relació laboral: el dret a la llibertat religiosa, el dret a l'objecció de consciència per raons religioses i la tutela antidiscriminatòria del treballador creient. El dret a la llibertat religiosa s'ha de reconèixer al treballador per compte aliè tot i que com amb els altres drets fonamentals, podrà ser limitat a través de l'apropiada ponderació amb altres drets i béns en joc. Així, la vigència del dret a la llibertat religiosa en el lloc de treball es garanteix mitjançant diferents maneres: 1) En els supòsits més extrems i quan no concorri a l'abast del treballador cap mesura legal o recurs material addicional a l'abast del treballador, dit treballador pot defensar les seves conviccions mitjançant l'exercici del dret a l'objecció de consciència, el qual li permet desobeir puntualment respecte al compliment d'una obligació jurídica apta per lesionar les seves conviccions (ius resistentiae) ; 2) el treballador que és objecte de discriminació per raó de les seves conviccions religioses, pot utilitzar les mesures antidiscriminació previstes legalment; 3) i, finalment, el treballador pot exercir el dret a la llibertat religiosa directament, tant per defensar aquest dret en el seu sentit negatiu, com quan pateix algun tipus d'ingerència en les seves conviccions, com des del punt de vista positiu, de forma activa, quan és necessari remoure obstacles jurídics i alterar les condicions de treball per l'òptima expansió del dret. l precisament, el darrer és l'aspecte més discutible, però menys discutit a Espanya, el de l'eficàcia jurídica del dret a la llibertat religiosa, ja que és el que determinaria històricament que el Dret del Treball concebi esmentat dret des d'un punt de vista merament liberal, o, pel contrari des d'una visió acord amb l'Estat de Dret. Com a manifestacions de dites figures en el lloc de treball s'analitzen entre altres, les festivitats i descansos, l'ús de la indumentària i simbologia religiosa, o les activitats proselitistes. Tanmateix, s'examina el concepte d'empresa de tendència religiosa.

Full textIn recent years, there has been increasing concern about unethical conduct within corporate business, not least because of the scandalous behaviour of former chief executives at top blue chip companies such as Enron, Worldcom, Parmalat and Volkswagen. These scandals have not only threatened the privileged position of senior corporate employees but also the solvency of the companies they manage and lead. The high profile cases of corporate crime and corruption that occurred in the early 2000s together with the 2008 Wall Street bailouts (Sorokin 2010) and the growth in criminal prosecutions since (Garrett 2014) have raised the profile of business ethics to an unprecedented level. Greater public sensitivity towards and awareness about the unlawful and immoral conduct of firms in the United States and elsewhere, has created demand for organizations to become more accountable and socially responsible and prompted greater regulatory scrutiny. It has also served to highlight the embryonic (Ciulla 2005) and delimited (Freidland 2012) state of research and scholarship on business ethics, where the focus has tended to remain on leadership (Kellerman 2012). A neglected, though important, line of ethical enquiry concerns followership (Kellerman, 2008). Corporate wrongdoing would be less formidable and extensive if it was not aided and abetted. Two key questions arise. First, what prompts followers to support rather than oppose bad leaders? Second, what can be done to stem or at least curtail their allegiance to bad leaders?
