Full textWhat does the current focus on identity as a medium of social exchange bring into the practice of improvised music? What happens to listening, spontaneity, empathy, freedom and generosity in this social climate? Is there somehow emerging within the music-improvisatory discourse a kind of de facto constraint, perhaps superimposed on the musical language from the larger cultural field? The frameworks of music sociology, object relations theory, political philosophy, pedagogy, music history and art criticism offer a backdrop against which the complex challenges of interpersonal communication can be seen in their relevance to the here and now of music improvisation.

Full textThe protection of the rights of the patient became at the moment, a legal obligation (bond) which is imperative upon any rule of law (State subject to the rule of law). Therefore, Senegal which evolves fast is not lagging behind in the respect and the protection of the rights of the patient in particular and the human rights generally. It is from this perspective that the Senegalese legislator adopted in 1998 two complementary (additional) relative laws which re-forms her (it) of the health system to confer on the patient’s rights, which until the adoption of these laws, were considered as ethical obligations (bonds) of the doctor: The law n°98-08 of March 2nd, 1998 and the law n°98- 12 of March 2nd, 1998. Since the adoption of these two laws, the relations between the doctor and the patient evolved a lot at least in theory because, on the ground, he (it) noticed that this re-form hospitable (hospital) is unsuitable for the local realities. In reality, even if it re-forms her (it) of the Senegalese health system is ineffective in the eyes of the public opinion, states that she (it) has the merit to endow Senegal of a legal framework guaranteeing the rights of the patient in particular the access right for quality care, the right (law) for clear and appropriate information and the right (law) for free and lit consent

Full textOne of the most politically debated questions in the world today is how a country should respond to migrants and people who seek refugee within it’s borders. Also in the field of law there are different view about what the right of asylum really means. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the right of asylum in international law. Is the right of asylum a territorial right of states to grant asylum? Is it a right for refugees to seek asylum? Or a right for refugees to receive asylum? Wheater or not the right has the status of customary international law will also be discussed. In one part of the paper the ethical concerns behind the right of asylum will be examined and also applied in a legal context, in the determination of the customary status of the rigt. The conclusion is that the right of asylum in international law includes a territorial right for states to grant asylum, a right for individuals to seek asylum and probably also a right to obtain asylum. All these aspects of the right also seems to be part of customary international law.

Full textA satisfação do direito do público à informação, de que os jornalistas estão incumbidos, é suscetível de conflituar com direitos de personalidade. A presente dissertação aborda as diversas dimensões desta problemática, no sentido de compreender de que forma pode ser assegurada a compatibilização entre as duas esferas. A investigação, que cruzou a reflexão teórica com o exame de casos concretos de abordagens jornalísticas, incluiu uma análise comparativa de normas inscritas em códigos deontológicos e de ética e a realização de entrevistas a jornalistas profissionais. A principal conclusão é que a autorregulação, não a lei, constitui a sede mais adequada para garantir que o exercício do direito à informação sacrifica direitos de personalidade apenas em situações de manifesto interesse público. Nesse sentido, preconiza-se o fortalecimento de instrumentos neste domínio. É recomendado o desenvolvimento de estudos sobre o tratamento jornalístico de acontecimentos envolvendo cidadãos comuns, para aprofundar o conhecimento da questão.
Satisfying the right of the public to information, which journalists are responsible for, is likely to conflict with personality rights. This dissertation examines the various dimensions of this problem, in order to understand how compatibility between the two spheres can be ensured. The investigation, which crossed the theoretic reflection with the examination of specific cases of journalistic approaches, includes a comparative analysis of standards inscribed in codes of ethics and interviews to professional journalists. The main conclusion is that self-regulation, not law, is the appropriate place to ensure that the exercise of the right to information only sacrifices personal rights in situations of manifest public interest. In this sense, it is recommended the strengthening of instruments in this field. It is recommended the development of studies on the journalistic treatment of events involving ordinary citizens to deepen the knowledge of the matter.

O presente estudo analisa os riscos e os desafios para a atribuição de sentidos ao direito à memória. Parte da rememoração das práticas violentas admitidas pelo regime ditatorial que tomou o poder no Brasil entre 1964 e 1985 para examinar as distinções entre a violência e o poder e elucidar as repercussões políticas e jurídicas da anistia construída no Brasil em 1979. Pesquisa o vínculo entre a história e a memória, discute o formato transdisciplinar da memória, aponta o seu substrato político e delineia a sua conformação sociológica. Examina as perspectivas jurídicas da memória a partir das dificuldades e dos riscos de sua afirmação como direito. Analisa os vínculos entre a memória e a verdade, aponta o fundamento ético que permite a construção jurídica da memória e enfrenta os paradoxos do direito à memória quando é confrontado pela ideia de um possível perdão, pela imposição de esquecimentos, pelas deficitárias compreensões que lhe dá o direito e pelas exigências da justiça de transição. O método de abordagem dessa problemática é o fenomenológico. O estudo aponta que a violência e o poder diferem em suas aspirações e em suas possibilidades. Diz que as violências cometidas pela ditadura militar brasileira constituem o paradigma da barbárie no Brasil. Afirma que a anistia política proposta em 1979 não se encontra concluída ou superada. Considera que a memória, autêntica prática política, surge como a resposta do tempo presente às violências do passado e como apelo de todas as vítimas. Admite uma construção conjunta da história e da memória. Visualiza a transdisciplinaridade da memória. Compreende a memória em sua referência ao pertencimento social. Questiona e informa os riscos da correlação entre a memória e a verdade. Reconhece o tempo da memória - preocupado com todas as vítimas da história do progresso - como a perspectiva ética para a construção do direito à memória. Aceita a possibilidade de um perdão construído pelo exercício compartilhado do direito à memória. Aponta os limites para a construção de anistias políticas e repele a ideia de que o esquecimento pode ser imposto. Refuta o posicionamento da Corte Constitucional brasileira sobre a anistia de 1979. Valoriza as práticas da justiça de transição e defende que o direito à memória contribui para a consolidação dos Direitos Humanos. Propõe uma autocrítica do próprio direito, a partir da dinâmica de um direito fraterno.
The present study analyses the risks and challenges for attributing senses to the right to memory. It starts from the remembrance of violent practices accepted by the dictatorial regime that took power in Brazil from 1964 to 1985 to examine the distinctions between violence and power and elucidate the political and juridical repercussions of amnesty built in Brazil in 1979. It searches the link between history and memory, discusses the transdisciplinary format of memory, points its political underbelly and outlines its sociological conformation. It examines the juridical prospects of memory from the difficulties and risks of its claim as a right. It analyses the links between memory and truth, points the ethical foundation that allows the juridical construction of memory and encounters the paradoxes of the right to memory when it is confronted by the idea of a possible forgiveness, by the imposition of forgetfulness, by deficient understandings that law provides and by the requirements of transitional justice. The approach to this problem is phenomenological methodology. The study suggests that violence and power differ in their aspirations and in their possibilities. It states that violence committed by the Brazilian military dictatorship is the paradigm of barbarism in Brazil. It asserts that the political amnesty proposed in 1979 is not completed or overcome. It considers that memory, authentic political practice, emerges as present time?s answer to the violence of the past and as an appeal from all victims. It accepts a joint construction of history and memory. It visualizes the transdisciplinarity of memory. It understands memory in its reference to social belonging. It questions and informs the risks of the correlation between memory and truth. It recognizes the time of memory - concerned about all victims of the progress of history - as the ethical perspective for the construction of the right to memory. It accepts the possibility of a forgiveness built by the shared exercise of the right to memory. It points the limits for political amnesties and repels the idea that forgetfulness can be imposed. It refutes the position of the Brazilian Constitutional Court on the 1979 amnesty. It values the transitional justice practices and argues that the right to memory contributes to the consolidation of Human Rights. It proposes a self-criticism of law itself, from the dynamics of a fraternal law.
Milon, Pauline. "Analyse théorique du statut juridique de la nature." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018AIXM0051.
Full textThis thesis questions the legal status of nature through a theoretical analysis. Reflecting on the status of nature is tantamount to questioning the singularity of the link between man and nature: is it a relationship that induces a scale of value with a subsequent hierarchy, or rather a relationship without hierarchy but with links of interdependence? Eventually, the idea is the idea is to escape from a dualistic logic separating man from nature. Nature is first reified by law. Object of law, defined by and for men, nature is considered as a thing, a good or an heritage. But this thesis is above all the observation of an evolution of the status of nature which can no longer be considered today only as an object. The socio-political evolution accompanies a movement aiming at the progressive subjectivization of nature. A rebalancing then occurs, "desacralizing" man as he persists in cutting himself from the rest of nature

Full textThe aim of this expository case is to demonstrate the importance of the cultural context in the analysis of the Corporate Social Responsibility practices of an organization in China. This essay is supported by four cases of management’s behavior especially common in the Chinese industrial situation at the present times. Each of these cases was analyzed individually, in which it was identified and classified the Corporate Social Responsibility practices, or the lack of them. Moreover, the cases do not belong to one specific industry, but to four different dimensions of the industrial reality. The causes and the consequences of them vary from one to another and the main challenge is to conclude what can be ethically accepted or, in opposition, considered as disrespectful for values that should prevail in all the cultural contexts. Problem: To identify if the polemic practices documented are understandable according to the Chinese cultural history, as well as to the respect for the Human Life. Method: The study of the opinion of Corporate Social Responsibility Specialists coming from different backgrounds, supported by international and local surveys. In essence, this subject is more qualitative than quantitative. Historical data was collected from books and articles. Conclusion: In two of the four cases are identified unethical practices of the management that should be punished and avoided. It is also proposed the existence of 3 Core Values that should be respected independently from the business environment and a Grey Zone, which includes the polemic practices that can be understandable in relation to the cultural context of the situation.
O objectivo desta dissertação expositiva é demonstrar a importância do contexto cultural na análise das práticas de Responsabilidade Social Corporativa nas organizações na China. A suportar este ensaio estão quatro casos de comportamentos dos órgãos de gestão, extremamente comuns na situação actual Chinesa. Cada caso foi analisado individualmente, tendo sido identificadas e classificadas as práticas de Responsabilidade Social Corporativa neles presentes, ou a sua ausência. Os referidos casos não estão relacionados unicamente com um sector, sendo que as suas causas e consequências variam consoante o caso e o principal desafio, apresenta-se como a conclusão do que é, eticamente, aceitável, por oposição ao que é considerado desrespeitoso de certos valores que deverão ser intocáveis seja em que cultura for. Questão: Identificar se as polémicas práticas apresentadas são compreensíveis mediante a história cultural Chinesa e o respeito pela dignidade humana. Método: O estudo da opinião de especialistas oriundos de diferentes contextos culturais, suportado por pesquisas internacionais e locais. Este tema é, na sua essência, mais qualitativo do que quantitativo. A informação histórica foi angariada através de livros e artigos. Conclusão: Em dois dos quatro casos são identificados práticas de gestão eticamente condenáveis e que devem ser evitadas no futuro. Pondera-se também, não só a existência de 3 Valores - Chave que deverão ser respeitados, independentemente do contexto empresarial, assim como a existência de uma área cinzenta, que inclui algumas práticas empresarias polémicas mas compreensíveis mediante a sua contextualização cultural.
Zeijlstra, Irene Elisabeth. "Some ethical and legal consideration concerning strike action by doctors in the South African public service." Thesis, 2012.
Find full textDoctors in the South African public services went on strike in mid-2007, 2009 and 2010. The main issue related to salaries. In my research report I will present arguments concerning the justifiability or not of strike action by South African doctors Thus the laws, codes, and oaths subscribed to by medical practitioners in South Africa will be presented. Doctor's obligations stated in such declarations, and some ethical theories will be presented as they relate to the moral justifiability of doctor's strikes, and to the individual doctor-patient relationship. Arguably, the individual doctor-patient relationship is crucial for a flourishing population and social justice. In the context of this relationship, the potential harms and benefits of strike action for both parties will be discussed. I will suggest that whether justified or not, strikes may not be the right means to achieving the end of excellent healthcare. The aim of the research, ultimately, is optimal health for the South African population with retention of doctors in the public service.

Full textThe research takes place in the current daily life of the educational sphere in Iran. It should be noted that Iran is a non-Western and Islamic state, but nonetheless adhered to the rather Western principles of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child. This research is part of a continuity of research in support of human rights. It offers a path of empowerment to Iranian groups open to democracy, but also to educational movements concerned with the fundamental rights of the person. Divided into four chapters, the hybrid questioning of the thesis leads to a critical interdisciplinary essay benefiting the three disciplines of law, philosophy and empirical study. Facing the international and Iranian legal system from a classical legal view, the philosophical chapter tends to respond to the question of “what could be considered not just the right to education, but the right to a “proper” education based in ethical and philosophical grounds in the sense that it would better suit Iranian culture and social habits than an allegedly “universal” [occidental] classical legal conception?". The empirical chapter, then, looks for the “Iranian social representations of the children’s rights that reveal the gap between the ideal expressed concept of “proper education” and day-to-day life of children?” with an advocative approach. From a philosophical view —more precisely from virtue ethics stand point—the thesis proposes the concept of "right to proper education" as a critical approach to the international and internal positions of the right to education for children. "Proper education" is presented as a moral and legal right for children under the category of developmental rights which serves the right to an open future and the right to maximizing self-fulfillment. It is also a conception of the right to education harmonized with the current Iranian Islamic context. From an empirical standpoint, starting from a typical inductive approach of the Human Rights Advocacy approach and based on more than eighty (80) interviews with children and teachers, the gaps between the official laws and the ways in which they are experienced, mobilized, thought of or denied in the sphere of today Iranian education, are observed and analyzed. Finally, the critical legal essay suggests the Iranian governance to be open to a shift toward a modern contractual authority in educational system to be more compatible with the psycho-emotional needs of children and at the same time to apply the virtue ethics political advice to move toward a liberal form of educational policies that promotes the virtues of autonomy and toleration. These are all crucial information for wise Iranian legislative governance rooted in an Islamic pursuit of virtues as well as the happiness of children.
