Abstract (sommario):

Cultural worldviews play an important role in how people perceive suffering in the world. Suffering can be seen in a repressive manner and in a redemptive manner. Two worldviews that have been identified as possible predictors of differences in suffering interpretation are humanism and normativism. The present study examined the association between humanism and redemptive suffering construal, and between normativism and repressive suffering construal. Other variables such as the Belief in a Just World and intrinsic religiosity were also assessed. We hypothesized that humanism and normativism may be uniquely associated with redemptive and repressive construals of suffering. Results supported the hypothesis: significant positive associations were found between redemptive construal of suffering and humanism, as well as between repressive construal and normativism. Repressive suffering construal was also associated with the belief in a just world for others and intrinsic religiosity. These findings provide additional evidence of the polarity between humanism and normativism and the distinction between repressive and redemptive suffering construals.

Abstract (sommario):

This essay is about the worldview of Swedish people, who experienced healing. I presumed that concepts, which underpin healing phenomena and thereby express the healer’s worldview, could differ from many people’s concepts and worldviews. The question was, if people with a different worldview attended a healing session and experienced positive results for their health, would that give them reasons to reconsider their worldview? Four people were chosen for this research, who had experienced healing and were willing to talk about it. Based on a participating observation, I describe a personal and their healing session, to create an understanding of their experience. Moreover, the healing method Laying on of Hands, which is used during these sessions is described. With the following in-depth interviews, I documented the worldview history of the interviewees, with focus on religious aspects, and compared it with their worldviews after they were convinced, that healing was working for them. In the analysis, coping theory was applied, to describe processes around the healing, which possibly contributed to the change in the patient’s worldview. The results showed a connection between the patient’s goal to regain health and the acceptance of new concepts in their worldview.

Abstract (sommario):

This research is an analysis of Ontario teachers’ experiences with Grade 11 NDA3M Current Aboriginal Context in Canada curriculum. By deconstructing and critically analyzing the curricular and pedagogical implications, my thesis is a targeted response to number 63 of the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action. As outlined by Clandinin and Connelly (2000), this research is centred in narrative research techniques. Additionally, I draw on Miller’s (1996) 3L’s: Look, Listen, and Learn approach, paired with Dion and Dion’s (2004) storytelling as a means of telling and (re)telling the story. I used one-on-one interviews with teachers and one sharing circle with teachers and elders to synthesize data from documents to capture the essence of the lived experiences. Participants revealed their experiences of what Aoki claims is curriculum-as-planned and curriculum-as-lived in this course. The results of this research were revealed responses to components of number 63 of the Calls to Action; NDA3M requires a review of curriculum expectations to align with teachers’ classroom experiences; participants discussed how their respective schools are using every opportunity to students’ capacity and awareness of Indigenous Worldviews; and professional development to support Indigenous education is in high demand.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this study was to examine whether or not there was a relationship between the worldviews of people with chronic pain and the health care choices that they make. The background of the study included evidence of a cultural shift toward integration of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) with conventional health care practices. The justification for the study was established with regard to previous research indicating that people with chronic health conditions, demographic predictors, and philosophical differences might contribute to characteristics associated with CAM use. In the literature review, two premises were established: (1) that healing is the psychophysiological response to underlying beliefs, and (2) that Pepper's worldviews (Pepper, 1942) characterize beliefs and expectancies underlying cognitive processes. The study involved a survey packet mailed to prospective subjects who were clients at a traditional teaching hospital clinic specializing in pain management. The survey packet included a list of demographic characteristics, the Health Care Choice List, and the World Hypotheses Scale as measurement of Pepperian worldviews. The data were analyzed by using multiple linear regression, correlation coefficients, and Chi-square Crosstabs procedure. Overall, results of the present study indicated that the combination of age and formistic (categorical) worldview were statistically significant predictors of conventional health care choices by participants in this study. Subjects who were older were less likely to use CAM; and subjects who identified with formism as a dominant worldview were less likely to use CAM. Although formistic worldview was the only statistically significant predictor of health care choices among the worldview categories, there were directional trends of health care choices in relation to worldviews. Subjects endorsing formistic (categorical) and mechanistic (cause and effect) worldviews were more likely to use conventional methods, and subjects with contextualistic (cause and effect relative to context), organismic (interactive whole) worldviews, and equal scores in two worldview categories, were more likely to use CAM methods.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Adopting a narrative epistemology this study uses qualitative research with children between the ages of 9 and 11 to consider the nature of children's worldviews and the place of RE in their meaning construction. In England and Wales church schools are perceived to be particularly attentive to children's personal, social, cultural, moral and spiritual development, especially through RE. Employing a case study approach with' four church schools (two Church of England and two Roman Catholic) this research utilises a broad understanding of RE (lessons, collective worship and ethos) to investigate whether these perceptions are justified. The work is informed by a range of linguistic, sociological, educational, philosophical and theological particulars and whilst it is acknowledged that this study constitutes only a small scale study it aims to authentically represent and analyse the children's narratives and experiences of RE. Pursuing a grounded theory approach that works from open interviews with children this research develops an analytical framework that considers children's meaning construction in terms of the nature and impact of different relationships. By taking account of empirical research and theorists in complementary areas the process of analysis examines the notion of the relational self and proposes a model for interrogating the structure and effect of different aspects of relationships for the individual's meaning construction. Throughout the course of the research this study also develops the concept of worldviews by inquiring into what it means to speak of worldview development. Combining these elements with narrative theory this relational analysis and conceptualisation of worldview development explores the place of nurture and the provision of RE in church schools. Taking account of the contemporary theoretical debate in this area this study offers a critical reflection of its findings at the four schools involved with this work. Highlighting the crucial role of relationships and experience, together with how this is addressed in the learning process, the fundamental distinction is made between RE that focuses on what to think in contrast to how to think. Conclusions and recommendations are drawn which address: (1) the need for better communication between those who contribute to the shaping of models of RE in church schools; (2) the need for practitioners to develop a clear understanding of their role in the classroom so that they might confidently engage in those relationships necessary for children's worldview development; (3) the need for a broader theoretical debate in relation to church schools and RE; (4) the need for further research in this area. In advancing a way of understanding children's meaning construction and worldview development this study offers a framework and suggestions for further research which speaks to both the context of church schools as well as the broader field of education generally.

Abstract (sommario):

It is commonly assumed that when confronted with an imminent hazard that people will react rationally, and prepare for, or at least attempt to avoid, danger from pending disasters. However, this conventional wisdom is not as evident as it appears. People prepare for, react to, or take social action to avoid hazards when they perceive the risk of danger to be threatening enough to warrant action, providing one has the will, insight and resources to do so. However, not all people perceive risks similarly. Risk is perceived differently by different people which affects risk perception and responses to hazards. This dissertation explores the relationships between American Indian worldviews, risk perceptions and disaster planning. To carry out this research 28 American Indians were interviewed. The sample consists of 14 American Indians residing in a rural are on the northern plains and 14 urban American Indians. The results only partially support that worldview is linked to risk perception and subsequent disaster planning. Other factors found to relate to risk perception and disaster planning for this non-representative sample of American Indians include various forms of social vulnerability.

Abstract (sommario):

Oregon, especially the Portland metro area, has become an important relocation destination for migrants, including many from Africa (Curry, and Al 2010). According to data from the Immigrants and Refugees Community (2011) in Portland, there are more than 15,000 African migrants, and they are the fourth largest immigrant community in the area, which includes representations from over 28 African countries. This study is about migrant’ worldviews and healthcare preferences in Oregon. My study centers on African migrant’s health experiences within a broader context of how sending countries worldviews and health care system informs attitudes and healthcare preferences in Oregon. Focus groups, life histories and survey data were collected over a period of 18 months from participants of 12 countries living in Eugene and Portland, Oregon. The findings indicate that migrants worldviews results from prior socialization processes that shapes Africans and guides their interactions and healthcare preferences in the US healthcare system.

Abstract (sommario):

The Australian landcare movement is considered to be a major success, with an extensive community landcare network developed, raised levels and depth of awareness, and a range of demonstration projects undertaken. It has inspired people across Australia and has been emulated overseas. However, negative trends in environmental conditions continue unabated. If the approach of the Australian landcare movement to date has not addressed the current unsustainable farming practices, what approach will? This Australian study explores the history of the mechanistic worldview, its influence on the attitudes to and treatment of landscapes and indigenous knowledge from colonisation, and the ongoing impacts on current social and natural rural landscapes. Increasing tension between the mechanistic worldview and the growing landcare ethic based on relationships is apparent. Through the focus project, Watershed Torbay, a different way of seeing and treating the world is explored by praxis. A worldview based on relationships and connection as the end purpose is proffered. Strengthening connection with ones own moral framework, and relationships with people and place in community, are seen as the path to achieving sustainability based on ecological and values rationality. It is recognised that there are multiple ways of seeing and experiencing the world, and it is important to give voice to all players with a connection to decision making. This also means that there are different forms of knowledge; these can be grouped under the typology of epistemic or scientific knowledge, techne or technical/practical capability, and the central form of knowledge about values and interests. I have worked with the focus project as a reflective practitioner undertaking action research; this is evident in the movement between theory and practice through the thesis. The thesis concludes in praxis taking the learning from the focus project, and exploration of theory, to answer the question posed at the outset by outlining how the relational worldview can be applied to the regional bodies now delivering major landcare programs.

Abstract (sommario):

Due to contextual factors that affect Indigenous populations, as well as high school graduation rates that are significantly lower than the general population, there is a need for culturally responsive behaviour support practices for Indigenous students within educational settings. The purpose of this study was to explore the traditional worldviews and practices that Indigenous teacher incorporate into the classroom to support Indigenous student behaviour. Using an ethnographic methodology, Indigenous teachers were interviewed and observed within the classroom setting. Interviews, observations and visual data were thematically analyzed. Overarching themes included: respect as a vehicle for learning, connectedness, incorporating traditional practices, social responsibility, behaviour support practices, and challenges to incorporation. Results are discussed in terms of implications for practice and use of culturally responsive behaviour support practices by Indigenous and non-Indigenous teachers. Some of the practices discussed can be incorporated by any teacher into the classroom, but some practices may be appropriate for incorporation only by teachers with Indigenous heritage.

Elliott, Dawn Angela. "Voluntary sector chargeable support services : a typology of actor worldviews of legitimacy". Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 2016. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/19614/.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis sets out to examine the ways in which actors sitting within local infrastructure organisations (LIOs) consider, construct and respond to ideas of legitimacy against the backdrop of a shifting institutional environment that increasingly favours charging front line organisations (FLOs) for support services that were previously provided free at the point of use. It employs an institutional lens to explore the linkages between actors, legitimacy and a shifting institutional narrative from an actor level perspective, providing insight into the ways in which actors' worldviews of what is - and what is not - legitimate are shaped, and how such worldviews then play out in practice. At a theoretical level, the research advances knowledge in respect of bringing about an understanding of the contemporary changes happening within LIOs in relation to charging for services, particularly from an actor level perspective. At a practical level, the research serves to inform practitioners both within LIOs, and within organisations more broadly, of the frames through which actors consider whether a change (such as a new policy or new strategic direction) may or may not be legitimate, and the ways that those actor worldviews then shape the behaviours of actors, or groups of actors, in practice. The thesis presents information drawn from a multi-sited ethnography, conducted across four LIOs over a six month period, with six weeks spent at each site. The findings are presented through a typology of thirteen distinct actor worldviews of legitimacy, which are informed by the dominant value set of each actor type, and played out through the employment of ten separate rhetorical strategies, used to argue for their preferred worldview. The typology serves to underpin an eight stage process of actor legitimacy formation and influencing, which shows the stages through which actors consider, construct and respond to ideas of legitimacy at times of institutional shift. The key contribution to knowledge arising from the research is embedded in how considerations of legitimacy play out at an actor level across LIO settings, in specific relation to actor consideration of and responses to contemporary changes with respect to institutional shifts towards the favouring of chargeable support services. The eight stage process underpinning this contribution also contributes to understandings of how legitimacy plays out at the actor level per se, and how actors seek to shape their institutional environment at times of shifting institutional narratives. It does this by developing understanding of the ways in which actors use their worldviews of legitimacy in a bid to further the interests that they believe to be legitimate within their institutional environment. This in turn contributes to debates surrounding how legitimacy plays out at the actor level and how actors consider, construct and respond to ideas of legitimacy. Further, the typology of actor worldviews underpinning the eight stage process contributes to current understandings of legitimacy both by adding an actor level perspective to the currently available typologies of legitimacy, and by contributing four legitimacy types that are not believed to exist in current literature. These four legitimacy types focus on legitimacy as viewed through a focus on strategy; legitimacy that is opportunistic in nature; legitimacy relating to leadership of the sector or industry, and legitimacy that relates to advancing practice.

Abstract (sommario):

The presented study evaluates the effect of Buddhist spirituality with respect to resilience and coping mechanisms, addressing the application of mindfulness as a decontextualized adaptation of Buddhist teachings. Through a participant-phenomenological approach, the current study investigates the relationship between two different clinical conditions along with mindfulness-meditation in both clinical and non-clinical contexts. To guide the research process, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with: 10 oncologic patients following the MBSR program in early palliative care; 7 epileptic patients following an MBSR adapted program; 10 mindfulness trainers engaged in the conduction of the program within clinical environments; 15 expert practitioners experiencing pain-elicitation in experimental conditions; 4 Buddhist teachers. The analysis scrutinizes the relationship between mindfulness and the following areas: reception of the hospital proposal, autobiographical-self, transition in worldviews, social identity and ethical perspectives, embodiment. The results of this thesis prompt a whole spectrum of coping strategies in facing both psychological suffering and physical pain, as life reorganization, present-centered nonreactivity, embodied recentering, spiritual reconnection, social support and reintegration. These strategies raise questions on some common underlying mechanisms. Limited to the Italian and French milieu, findings show how mindfulness in novices, still claiming a formal derivation from Buddhism, is producing a new phenomenon with uncertain tendencies, independent from Buddhist ethics, philosophy and soteriology.
La ricerca valuta l'applicazione della consapevolezza come adattamento decontestualizzato degli insegnamenti buddhisti in connessione con la resilienza ed il coping. Attraverso un approccio partecipativo-fenomenologico, lo studio indaga la relazione tra due diverse condizioni cliniche. Per guidare il processo di ricerca, sono state condotte interviste approfondite semi-strutturate con: 10 pazienti oncologici che seguono il programma MBSR in cure palliative; 7 pazienti epilettici che seguono un programma adattato; 10 formatori di mindfulness impegnati nella conduzione del programma all'interno di ambienti clinici; 15 meditatori esperti che sperimentano l'elicitazione del dolore in condizioni sperimentali; 4 insegnanti buddhisti. L'analisi esamina la relazione tra consapevolezza e le seguenti aree: ricezione della proposta ospedaliera, Sè autobiografico, transizioni nella worldview, identità sociale e prospettive etiche, embodiment. I risultati mostrano un intero spettro di strategie di coping nell'affrontare sia la sofferenza psicologica che il dolore fisico, la riorganizzazione della vita, la non reattività centrata nel presente, ricentramento corporeo, la riconnessione spirituale, il sostegno sociale e il reinserimento. Queste strategie sollevano domande sull'invarianza di alcuni meccanismi di base. Limitato all'ambiente italiano e francese, i risultati mostrano come la consapevolezza nei novizi, che rivendica ancora una derivazione formale dal buddhismo, stia producendo un nuovo fenomeno con tendenze incerte, indipendente dall'etica buddhista, dalla filosofia e dalla soteriologia.

Abstract (sommario):

What is the structure of society? Many thinkers have pondered the regularities. Way of life theory (WOLT) shows the relationship of every rational, social issue to every other rational, social issue. ¶ From two dichotomised, theoretical dimensions called grid and group, Mary Douglas deduced four ways of life usually called individualism, hierarchy, egalitarianism, and fatalism. WOLT shows the same four ideal types may be deduced from any significant pair of social issues, including competition, cooperation, coercion, freedom, justice, self-identity, nature, human nature, and more. Since four types may be divided pair-wise in three ways, there are three, not two, dimensions or axes. ¶ WOLT also deduces Douglass fifth type (the hermit) and resolves the long-standing logical anomalies of grid-group theory. ¶ In all, seven social theorists have independently deduced four types from various dimension pairs. Mistakes aside, they find the same four theoretical types. Evidently, the four types are natural kinds. Between them these theorists use three axes. ¶ Numerous intuitive theorists from across social science have developed types without dimensions, and dimensions without types. Though incomplete, they show no significant disagreement. ¶ It appears that every issue that must be taken into account to live socially fits the three axes. There is no flexibility: each issue fits the axes one way. Geometrically, three dichot¬omised dimensions yield eight types, however four of them are not viable and do not arise. Given just four valid points, the number of dimensions is necessarily limited to three. The axes generate thousands of predictions. ¶ Since deduction yields the same four types whatever issues are placed on the dimensions, the four types are, like objects of natural science, independent of any theorist. In turn, these four types control which issues fit and how they fit, delimiting the scope and refining the meaning of the issueswhich places the issues, too, beyond any theorists determination. ¶ As in natural science, the sphere of application is set by the deductive theory, not by a theorists pronouncement: what fits, fits. The domain appears to cover matters which people must take a position on to live socially. Emotional and internal personal issues will not fit. ¶ WOLT sharpens meaning, formalises structure and extends connections in areas as diverse as equality, liberalism, game theory, corporate culture, national culture, political right and left, religion, and working-class health. ¶ Like a natural science theory, WOLT is relational, not only taxonomic. As in natural science, no person, organisation, or social situation will conform exactly to its ideal types. It is falsifiable by deducing, or finding empirically, rival social types or a social phenomenon that will not fit. Empirical testing of the theory as a whole is awkward owing to its structure and to parochial effects. Three data sets failed to refute it. ¶ WOLT reveals how every social issue relates to every other social issue, providing a tool for analysing worldview, social structure, and social behaviour.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this study was to identify relationships among variables related to the experiences of female spouse/partners of emergency responders. The 30 women sampled had sought treatment for occupation-related PTSD.

The First Responder Support Network (FRSN), a non-profit organization in Northern California, provided data for the study. Instrumentation consisted of a symptom inventory of participants' trauma and questionnaires regarding coping styles, worldviews, and perception of burden in response to living with a first responder.

Traumatic stress symptoms were reported more frequently than among the general population but similar to those of spouses of veterans. Findings suggested a diminished sense of self. Coping styles moderated the effects of trauma and were significantly related to worldviews. A substantial degree of burden was reported but burden levels were not related to traumatic stress.

The results indicated that first responder spouse/partners should be offered individual trauma-focused treatment to strengthen self-identity and fortify positive coping strategies.

Abstract (sommario):

This is an exploration of concepts and identities of Sami people in northern Sweden regarding conflicts on mining. The Sami have a history of feeling that others are encroaching on them and ignoring them and their wishes, the latest being the mining companies. There is also the issue of who gets to be considered as Sami and how the Sami identity is characterised. There are different positions among the Sami, some are enthusiastic and some are opposed. The view of the traditional land can be understood as a sacred connection with nature that is not understood by the majority society. Connecting with the land is vital as the link between the generations. Sweden has been ranked as one of the world’s most attractive places for mining investments in recent years and it is seen as one of today’s biggest challenges for the survival of the Sami culture. The majority society’s and the mining industry’s view on sustainability includes opening of mines, to be able to extract minerals to use in wind parks and electric cars where the Sami are seen as standing in the way. A discourse in Sweden is that all of the north is a vast space, with fewer and fewer inhabitants. With many who are moving to the bigger cities in the south, this is also seen as a way to create jobs for a hopeful future in the towns up north. The Sami faces a misunderstanding majority society where their history is not recognised and the strengthening of indigenous peoples’ rights in recent years have only lead to symbolic gestures for the Sami. This thesis has been made through spending time with these groups as well as trying to be a sensitive researcher who will contribute to the interest and understanding of those written about.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis examines the influence of ontology on the theorisation and practice of entrepreneurship and networking. Research was conducted through in-depth interviews, most of which were undertaken with Aboriginal entrepreneurs, two literature reviews, participant observation, and a field journal. Research findings contribute to a ‘grander narrative’ of entrepreneurship, which recognises how entrepreneurship continues to be practised in a variety of settings and by a range of people whose ontologies have been marginalised within capitalist societies.

Abstract (sommario):

Background and Research Goals. This study aims to see the association between worldviews and HPV vaccine risk perceptions in a sample of Canadian undergraduate students enrolled in Health Sciences and Business programs at the University of Ottawa. It is a follow-up to the Kahan et al. (2010) research in the U.S. that showed the association to be present in a nationally representative U.S. sample. In addition to searching for this association in the Canadian context, this study examines whether worldviews differ between (a) men and women; and (b) students with health sciences and with business degrees. Furthermore, this study tests a set of candidate questions for supplementing the worldview questionnaire of Kahan et al. (2010). Design and Analysis. The data for the study was collected using an Internet-based questionnaire and the study was conducted in two phases. During the first phase, a customized worldview questionnaire was administered. During the second phase, questions related to HPV and Canadian healthcare system were presented. In order to analyze the data, regression models, correlation matrices, and MANOVAs were employed. Results. The findings of this study are that worldviews are related to HPV vaccine risk perceptions. However, though hierarchism was a better predictor then individualism in the Kahan et al. (2010) study, our present research indicates that individualism is a better predictor. Also, our findings, contrary to those of Kahan et al. (2010), suggest that the more individualistic a person is, the more likely he or she is to perceive the vaccine as being safe. With respect to gender, men were more hierarchical. Also, when females in health sciences were compared to women in business, the latter were also more hierarchical. Finally, three healthcare items were identified as possibly benefiting from refinement and inclusion in a worldview instrument more suited for the Canadian context.

Abstract (sommario):

This research study explored how a group of 12 First Nations Research Participants, women and men working within NSW Government and Non-Government Human Services, worked with First Nations clients who experienced institutional and interpersonal trauma. The purpose of the qualitative study is to examine how workers developed and utilised their epistemology, axiology and ontological within their practice skills to support clients. The thesis is informed by Indigenous methodologies, with yarning enabling new understandings to be developed. The study involved three yarning circles and face to face and phone interviews yarn ups. The significance of this research is that Research Participants maintained their rights by reclaiming their worldview through undertaking process of decolonising the mind. They provided voice to how they maintain their worldview within their workplace. The study explored underpinning knowledge and unique skills of those First Nations workers and how they applied their epistemology – their ways of knowing, their axiology – their ways of doing and their ontology – their ways of being. Research Participants cited on a number of occasions the importance of maintaining tribal worldviews within the scope of supporting others. This gave voice to support and empower clients to reclaim their tribal belonging and identify. They demonstrated capacity to ongoingly critique western worldview; ways of knowing, ways of doing and ways of being, which is often unseen and invisible.

Abstract (sommario):

The general theme of rock climbing is common, at its core it’s a physically active problem solving exercise with the goal of reaching the top of a three dimensional problem. Participants in this activity however, are not homogenous (Ryan et al., 2001; Hydler, 1999); the activity of climbing supports various subgroups that differ in style, training practices, required equipment, and, potentially environmental attitudes. Once seen as a fringe outdoor activity with limited opportunities, climbing is now ubiquitous in urban areas, leading to increased participation rates, which results in increased use of natural recreation resources and potential increased environmental impact where climbing takes place. This research project examines the variation of environmental worldviews and Leave No Trace awareness among rock climbers in Squamish, British Columbia. A sample of rock climbers (n = 466) at ten climbing locations in Squamish, and one climbing gym in Vancouver, British Columbia provided the respondents for this research project. First the climbers’ environmental worldviews and Leave No Trace Awareness are examined through three research questions: (RQ1) Do environmental worldviews and Leave No Trace awareness vary among climbing styles? (RQ2) Does recreation specialization predict environmental worldviews and Leave No Trace awareness among climbers? And, (RQ3) Does Leave No Trace awareness vary among climbers according to where they were introduced to the activity (i.e., outdoors or indoor climbing gym)? Further, the climbers’ support for recreation management in climbing areas is examined through: (RQ4) Is support for climbing management consistent across specialization levels and among climbing styles? The climbers’ social networks are examined with a final research question: (RQ5) Does network range influence the environmental worldviews of climbers? Recreation specialization was found to be the most significant predictor of a climber’s pro-environmental orientation, which is consistent with previous research. Whereas the climbers Leave No Trace ethics seem to be more a product of the historical use and management of local recreational resources. Additionally, the range of ties among climbing and outdoor professionals, environmental organizations, and the general climbing community were correlated with the development of biocentric worldviews among the respondents.

Abstract (sommario):

There is an abundant literature describing the sustainability problems our planet is facing, ranging from the loss of biodiversity and ecosystems that are necessary to support healthy communities to the everexpanding population, social inequality and worldwide increase of poverty. Many of the existing sustainability initiatives attempt to address these issues by creating new technologies, increasing efficiency, and modifying systems of governance. While many of these approaches are promising, their success fundamentally depends on their acceptance by society. I argue that this aspect is frequently overlooked and more attention should be paid to the human dimensions of sustainability development. The approach presented in this thesis uses a more comprehensive approach and highlights the importance that consciousness, culture, and values play in shaping our views of reality and therefore our understanding of sustainability. I explore the all-quadrant, all-level approach of integral theory (Wilber, 1996b) as an overarching framework to discuss these ideas. The all-quadrants concept of internal and external, individual and collective realities is used to outline the multiple dimensions of sustainability. I apply the all-levels concept of human development to explain the multitude of conceptions, behaviours and attitudes that individual mindsets and collective worldviews have towards sustainability. One of the main challenges for sustainability is overcoming the values crisis in modern society and it is argued that in order to achieve this, a cultural shift is required if we hope to address today's pressing socio-ecological problems. To this effect a framework of social learning has been developed based on the synthesis of the literature that serves to guide this cultural shift. To illustrate the potential of this framework a case study was conducted in a natural resource conservation and forestry course at the University of British Columbia. The results are encouraging and demonstrate the potential of social learning for shifting individual mindsets towards ones that are more inclined towards cultivating sustainable livelihoods.

Abstract (sommario):

Empathy is the ability to stand in another's shoes, to approximate another's experience, to feel what another feels. According to scientists, sociologists, psychologists, and Nobel Peace Laureates, empathy is crucial for the continuation and flourishing of humankind. When empathy is achieved, and an individual is able to perceive him/herself as the Other, the foundation for both transforming conflict and shifting of fundamental worldviews is possible. This research explores different aspects of conflict, primarily through the lens of bullying. Data was collected and analyzed from over 300 students ranging in age from 8-18 years. In addition, a variety of narrative forms from comic books and graphic novels to theatrical plays based upon ancient mythology to in-depth survey questions are investigated, examining moments where empathy may be experienced and understood by participants. These narratives created by student-participants are interpreted through a Narrative Phenomenology methodology, highlighting students' perception of themselves as well as their lived-experience in relationship with others. These myriad story narratives reveal important information on ways social justice and human lights education, moral imagination, and adults as models of empathic behaviour might inspire youth to move past bullying and violence toward more compassionately motivated inclusive communities. Central to the research is the Triptych Narrative Method designed by the researcher that is utilized in a variety of settings and determined to be effective in aiding in the development of empathy. Through the identification of a Lacuna Epiphany Space, over which the act of dialogue may create a Lacuna Bridge. it is possible through an empathic-epiphany exchange for participants to become conscious of feeling with another. thereby bridging the often separate sense between Self and Other into a shared experience of Self as Other. This tool has far-reaching applications as well as the potential to assist in the global effort toward awakening humanity to their empathic abilities.

Abstract (sommario):

Over the past thirty years, academic dialogues on the relationships between the sciences and religions have flourished, albeit primarily within Judeo-Christian historical, theological and philosophical contexts. Can a Hindu tradition be brought into this dialogue? The Bhagavata Purana is one of the most well-known sacred texts of India, and biology, Darwinism in particular, has become one of the most spirited areas of the science and religion dialogue in academia, as well as in the popular media. This thesis examines the possibility, scope and foundational topics involved in a dialogue between Vaisnava-Hindu theology as found in the Bhāgavata, and the theoretical, philosophical and theological issues surrounding contemporary biology. To examine the possibility and scope of a Bhāgavata-science dialogue, I focus on the theological, ontological, epistemological and teleological presuppositions that each tradition bring to the study of nature, outlining the similarities and differences in their approaches. I establish the grounds for further discussion through a comparative analysis of terms such as "consciousness," "knowledge" and "goal of knowledge" as they appear in the Bhagavata and noteworthy Darwinian texts. My argument is that although prima facie the two traditions appear different in their philosophical, scientific and theological approaches, there are a number of areas of common interest and parallels, especially in their epistemologies and teleologies. In the case of genuine differences, such as their views on the ontology of consciousness, I demonstrate the possibility of reconciliation. Clarifying the conceptual differences, establishing parallels and demonstrating areas of common interests opens the possibility and widens the scope for further dialogue.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this study was to investigate the ways in which teachers’ prevailing worldviews interacted with their work environment, based on an understanding of teachers’ beliefs and value systems from a worldview perspective. The worldview perspective was chosen because it provided a holistic framework for the understanding of teachers’ beliefs and value structures and it also envisaged their potential to change especially in terms of the reconciling of teacher personal beliefs with the actual reality of teaching that are often underlying causal factors associated with stress. The thesis of the study centred on the proposition that through identifying teachers who were more likely to suffer stress in their work environments, schools could identify those teachers that required support.Findings from the study suggest that worldviews of teachers affect all aspects of their lives. Teachers who share similar worldviews have similar beliefs regarding educational issues. However, teaching is influenced by experience and context. When teachers’ worldviews are in conflict with their experiences in teaching they often are shown to feel stress and frustration. However, whilst a situation may be perceived to be stressful by one individual, another may interpret it as harmless. It is therefore the mediating aspect of cognitive appraisal that will ultimately determine whether the outcome is experienced as stress. There seems to be no single element in isolation that is a causal factor in the perception of the concept known as stress. Rather, the researcher argues, based on the study outcomes, that it is the interplay between environmental stimuli, the cognitive appraisal through worldview, and the individual and supportive resources, that combine to produce a stress transaction that is perceived as stressful or not stressful.

Abstract (sommario):

Syncretism has historically been a problem for the covenant people of God and today is no exception. Recent studies have shown that professing Christians struggle to remain singularly devoted to Jesus amidst a society that begs them to worship other gods. This is especially the case with young men and women between the ages of eighteen and thirty at Northview Community Church in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. Many of these emerging adults are relatively ignorant regarding the Christian worldview, ignorant about other worldviews that are present in North American culture, and ignorant regarding the skill necessary to exegete films that communicate these worldviews. A course that trains these young people to identify and evaluate worldviews in films should help them to remain faithful to the exclusive call of Jesus Christ on their lives.

Abstract (sommario):

The skinhead subculture is a global phenomenon – like many other youth subcultures.. Thus, the research question arises – which features of a skinhead’s identity emerge in the local environment of the Lithuanian society, and in which manner? Is the identity of a Lithuanian skinhead exceptional? The aim of the research was to reveal the peculiarities of right-wing skinheads’ identity, the motivation for choosing such identity, and the character of skinheads’ social activity. The work is based on empirical material collected during 2004–2013. The methods included an in-depth interview, a questionnaire survey, an integrated observation, and collecting visual material (photo and video) revealing the expressions of the subculture. The visual material presented in skinheads’ Facebook accounts was analyzed. The study was conducted by applying the induction technique where issues and individual and group aspects of identity and behavior characteristic of the skinheads were obtained from the available data. The study showed that the ideas characteristic of Lithuanian right-wing skinhead ideology are patriotism, nationalism, racial nationalism, as well as racism and neo-Nazism. Masculine values – strength, courage, fortitude and physical resilience, and ability to defend one’s ideas with force – occupy an important position on the list of skinheads’ values. In addition to characteristic internationally used elements, Lithuanian skinheads’ subcultural style is complemented with local –... [to full text]

Tyrimas buvo atliekamas indukciniu metodu, kai skinhedams būdingos problemos ir įvairūs jiems būdingi individualūs ir grupiniai tapatumo bei elgesio aspektai iškeliami iš duomenų. Tyrimas atskleidė, jog Lietuvos dešiniųjų skinhedų ideologijai būdingos patriotizmo, nacionalizmo, rasinio nacionalizmo, o taip pat rasizmo, neonacizmo idėjos. Svarbią reikšmę skinhedų vertybinėje skalėje užima maskulinistinės vertybės: jėga, drąsa, psichologinis ir fizinis tvirtumas, gebėjimas jėga apginti savo idėjas. Skinhedų subkultūrinis stilius be tarptautiniam stiliui būdingų elementų, Lietuvoje papildomas vietinės kilmės – nacionaliniais atributais.

Abstract (sommario):

The World Economics Association held an online conference in 2012 where they published many papers on ethics in economics. The topic of ethics in economics became more serious and popular following the 2008 financial crisis. However the case for a professional code of ethics in economics is difficult to introduce and implement due to the multidisciplinary approach of the discipline. Therefore authors such as Dow (2012), De Martino (2012), Freeman (2012) and Earl (2012) urged economists to start thinking about ethics in economics from a pluralistic view. This thesis studied the effects of changing Western worldviews on morals and ethics in economics from a Protestant perspective. Numerous authoritative sources were considered and used to create a discussion and analysis of how diverse Western worldviews impact on the type of economics which is prescribed and practiced. It was found that different Western worldviews create various standards of understanding and evaluation, which result in varying opinions on what constitutes as morally or ethically acceptable within the discipline of economics.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a description of the emerging state of the public relations field in Albania under the framework and influence of four main public relations worldviews including persuasive/marketing, relationship management, community building, and personal influence. This study seeks to give insights into how an emerging country in the field of public relations approaches the development of the field; whether it adapts, adopts or creates new practices. The research design proposed by the author aims to shed some light on possible theoretical meanings and themes that could be developing in countries where the field of public relations is emerging. Based on the findings and the underdeveloped nature of public relations as identified in this study, the author proposes a training program for public relations practitioners and professors that would help to advance the development of the field in Albania.
