Full textO objetivo deste trabalho visa analisar a relação entre o conflito de grandes e povo e a liberdade política dele decorrente. Para tanto, inicialmente, será feito um estudo de como Maquiavel entende a virtú e a fortuna. Após, analisar-se-á a forma como Maquiavel pensa a ética, a religião, a moral, a Política, as armas, a liberdade e a igualdade. Uma vez dissecadas essas premissas básicas e necessárias, passar-se-á ao estudo da teoria dos humores que se inicia com a máxima que o povo não quer ser dominado e oprimido, enquanto que os grandes desejam dominar e oprimir. Posteriormente, será demonstrado como se deram os Conflitos das Cidades, iniciando-se com o modelo Romano, o modelo Florentino e o modelo de Esparta e Veneza. Estabelecidas às bases de seu pensamento, será demonstrada que a lei, resultante do conflito entre os grandes e o povo, gera a liberdade de todo o corpo político.
This study aims to analyze the relationship between conflict of the great and the people and political freedom brought by this. Therefore, initially, a study of how Machiavelli understands the virtu and fortune will be made. After, we will examine how Machiavelli thinks about ethics, religion, morality, policy, guns, freedom and equality. Once dissected the this basic assumptions, the study will analyze the theory of humors, that starts with the maximum that people do not want to be dominated and oppressed, while the great wish exactly to dominate and oppress them. After that, the study proceeds about how were the Conflict of Cities, beginning with the Roman model, Florence model, the model of Sparta and Venice. After established the bases of his thought, this work will demonstrate that the resulting law of conflict between the great and the people generates the freedom of all political body.

Full textEl texto propone una aproximación introductoria a la relación entre libertad y verdad. Para lograr esto seguirá una ruta, amparada fundamentalmente en el texto de Kierkegaard Migajas filosóficas, que comenzará con el problema socrático en torno a la adquisición de la verdad, pasando a considerar la dación de la verdad fruto del amor gratuito de Dios, desde el cual habrá de emerger el tema de la libertad que, por último, terminará por conducirnos a la explicación kierkegaardiana del devenir y, específicamente, al tema de la relación entre posibilidad y realidad. En esta exposición, el concepto que procurará articular todo nuestro recorrido será el de instante, entendiendo este como punto de confluencia entre lo eterno y lo temporal y resaltando la paradoja aquí implicada.

Full textPublic education in the United States has seen many changes over the years. Some of those changes came in response to what are now recognized as clear problems with religious liberty in the common education system adopted in the mid 1800's. This dissertation reviews past and current ideas related to religious liberty and the larger issue of liberty of conscience (Nussbaum, 2008) in education and pursues a research question by considering past and current issues. Does a system of general, mass education necessarily infringe upon students' liberty of conscience? This question is pursued following a Deweyan framework of philosophy of education wherein a "felt difficulty" is identified, information is gathered to apply to the difficulty, and possible solutions to problems identified (Dewey, 1938).
I begin with a discussion of liberty of conscience and a discussion of some of the conflicts included in a system of mass education. This establishes the structure of the difficulty, or problem. The history of the public education system in the United States is reviewed with a focus on the common education system adapted in the 1830's along with relevant issues related to religious intolerance. Improvements in the respect for religious diversity applied to that system over time and improvements proposed but not yet fully implemented are discussed. Ideas from religious intolerance literature is introduced to add insight and expose the larger issue of liberty of conscience including how those ideas can be applied to educational systems. The process of religious intolerance (Corrigan & Neal, 2010) is developed into an architecture of religious intolerance that can assist with identifying this type of intolerance in educational settings.
I argue that while many of the strongest issues of religious intolerance in public education have been resolved, many problems still remain. I will also argue that the intolerance is not limited to religious intolerance but includes intolerance for ideas stemming from many different epistemic foundations. This will lead to a consideration of an idea I have labeled as epistemic intolerance. These arguments support an answer to the research question, which is that a system of general, mass education does necessarily infringe on students' liberty of conscience if one or more cultural majorities centrally control that system of education.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 66-67).
Although we were taught about the success of the Civil Rights movement in elementary school, it is undeniable that socioeconomic differences create community borders throughout the world. Specifically discussed here is East Liberty part of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's "East End." Over a forty-five year period East Liberty has been disassociated from her neighbors and become an archipelago like many of Pittsburgh's neighborhoods. Since the sixties, when the first interventions were commissioned by David L. Lawrence's Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), development reinforced already present socioeconomic barriers and people began to fear East Liberty, on the other side of the tracks from Shadyside. Today, the URA no longer directly influences design, but oversees the federal funding that non profit Community Development Corporations (CDCs) receive for the commercial and residential development projects. Ironically, CDCs are comprised of real-estate brokers, not politicians, architects, nor planners. Economically, East Liberty is improving if the big box stores make profits, then the land will generate revenue from taxes and its value will rise. If more developers and business owners take interest, the empty storefronts will fill. This process, however, should include a plan for the retention of the poorer residents who wish to remain in their homes. The cost of economic success is the continual displacement of those who do not have any stake in where they live due to their dependence on the government. Displacement severs familial and community roots inhibiting the success of both.
(cont.) To paraphrase Lao-Tsu: a thing must take root in order to be nourished. Thus this thesis addresses the necessity to create opportunity as well as architecture when planning the redesign of a poor community. To this end, this thesis proposes that in order to redevelop, the community must build from within. The proposal here is to plan a series of developments that will tie East Liberty into the East End. The first development is a Building Arts School capable of providing Bachelors degrees in the Arts and the Sciences and dedicated to the education of the poor who live in the East End. In addition to creating a catalyst for urban and economic growth, this school provides a means to raise one's social status through education and marketable skills. With East Liberty as its campus, the school will provide much needed public space and a re-connection to the other side of the tracks inasmuch as it is one of a network of developments based upon the projected rise in traffic caused by the school, connecting bus hub and bridge to Shadyside. The chosen site, a point along bus way, at a major bus stop, and in the periphery between three neighborhoods is optimal because the architecture acts as a gateway, a beacon and a connector. Providing a monumental continuity between inside and outside, this project is 4 an initial urban intervention a chain of reactions that will reclaim the civic space of Penn Avenue, the Main Street of the East End and the opportunities that once were there. East Liberty is an interesting case study because it shows the strata of abandonment and renewal common to many American post-industrial cities.
(cont.) It is a protagonist in the saga of the rise and fall of the railroad and steel industry. The latter undermining the economic base of Pittsburgh which may be recognized in the decayed urban fabric of lower class neighborhoods. East Liberty is one of many former urban centers fallen victim to the demise if inner city community at the rise of the suburb.

Full textUsing methods drawn from literary analysis, theology, and political history, Loving Liberty explores the relationship between Milton's thinking about liberty and his practice of scriptural interpretation. It argues that Milton advances a model of a free society ultimately modeled on the charitable relations between the Father and the Son, who in his view differ essentially from one another. This model of liberated unity in difference derives from, and responds to, Milton's encounter with the Reformation ideal of each believer reading the Bible for him or herself, along with the social chaos that accompanied the resulting proliferation of interpretations. Using a complex concept of charity, Milton's writings imagine a society in which all are free to use scripture in highly individualized ways that nevertheless conduce to unity rather than chaos. In the end, the very interpretative practice through which Milton thinks his way toward this model also stands as its shining example, culminating in a rich body of writing that creatively re-imagines scripture and that invites its readers to use these new creations or not, as charity demands and in keeping with their own freely exercised gifts. In contrast to what he calls “obstinate literality” and “alphabetical servility&rdquo in The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce, Milton's liberated interpretative method requires the interpreter to generate his or her own Bible, whether by radically reassembling the text (as Milton does in De Doctrina Christiana), by prophetically speaking the scripture written on one's heart (as Michael teaches Adam to do in Paradise Lost)

Full textO presente Trabalho Final de Mestrado incide no estudo dos processos de Recrutamento e Seleção e Formação e Desenvolvimento da Liberty Seguros, tendo por base a realização de um estágio curricular na Direção de Gestão e Suporte ao Talento. A Liberty Seguros foi pela quarta vez reconhecida com o galardão «Melhor Grande Empresa» para trabalhar em Portugal, nos Prémios 2014 - Excelência no Trabalho, comprovando o elevado nível da GRH da Companhia e tornando-a repetidamente numa referência nacional. Atentando as atividades desenvolvidas durante o estágio, propõe-se uma revisão de literatura assente num enquadramento teórico dos processos de Gestão de Recursos Humanos supramencionados, sendo analisados e discutidos os melhores métodos, técnicas e modelos inerentes a cada um. Após a identificação das práticas aplicadas pela Companhia em cada uma das áreas, estabelece-se então a ponte entre a revisão de literatura e a experiência de estágio, balanceando os pontos em comum e as conclusões divergentes. Dada a importância acrescida que o recrutamento eletrónico tem recebido, procura-se igualmente efetuar uma abordagem peculiar ao site institucional, investigando formas de aumentar a eficácia deste método de recrutamento que visam a dissuasão de candidaturas indesejadas e a atração dos candidatos com maior potencial. Por forma a compreender a direção do recrutamento eletrónico da Liberty Seguros face ao mercado, é ainda feita uma comparação entre os sites institucionais das seguradoras concorrentes.
The present Master's Degree Final Work, aims to describe the activities developed during a three months internship in "Liberty Seguros" Human Resources. Liberty Seguros was distinguished, for the fourth time, at the 2014 Awards - Excellence at Work, with the award "Best Large Company" to work in Portugal. This award recognizes the Companies' high HRM level, making Liberty Seguros a repeatedly national reference. The present report pretends to discuss and analyse the best practices in The Recruitment, Selection, Training and Development processes with the ultimate goal of matching it with the internship activities. After identifying the practices applied by the Company in each of these areas, it is established a bridge between the literature review and the internship experience, balancing the common points and the divergent conclusions. According to the increasing importance of E-recruitment, it is also analysed the effectiveness of institutional sites, focusing mainly on providing crucial information to avoid undesirable applications while attracting the greatest potential candidates. In order to understand the direction of Liberty Seguros' E-recruitment, a comparison is also made between the institutional sites of competing insurers.
