EDUCATING THE SYSTEM

September 2001
Journal of Jewish Education 67(3):64-70

DOI:10.1080/0021624010670312

Authors:

The purpose of this article is to offer a new planning perspective for the Jewish community based on a review of the nature of Central Agency activities within the larger Jewish communal context. The modified planning paradigm it suggests is intended to generate discussion and obviate unnecessary tensions. It can help us recognize that inevitable institutional tensions are generally conflicts between good and good, not good and evil. Applying this new paradigm should enable closer and more productive collaboration among Federations, Central Agencies, and other community institutions so we can move ahead together to improve the quality of Jewish life.

We evaluated the effectiveness of a charette for reviving the collaborative planning process by two critetia. Criterion one is “How the charette worked for letting people to think another person’s stance.” and criterion two is “How the charette worked for reviving the collaborative decision-making process.” We had the experimental charette with students, and found that it worked for understanding ...

Vestigios de fedro en las fabulas de aviano

September 2018

A.C. Dorado

The purpose of this paper is to show evidence of Avianus's use of Phaedrus's work. It is clear that he knew Phaedrus's work very well, as shown in the use he makes of Phaedrus's prologues to write his Dedication to Theodosius as well in his imitation of Fable III 7 to create his apologue of the dog and the lion (37). Moreover, Avianus seems to have taken on some of the Phaedrus's most remarkable ... [Show full abstract] ideas: the conflict between the poor and the powerful, the need to be content with the personal qualities that nature has given us, a pessimist attitude regarding Fatum and Fortuna in man's life. Avianus's fable of the peasant and the young bull (28) is likely to have been written after Phaedrus's app. 12. in order to refute the central idea in that piece of work: mercy and education can improve a rebellious personality.

Soziale Beziehungen, Gruppen- und Intergruppenprozesse.

December 2008

Erich H. Witte

Soziale Beziehungen sind für den Menschen von zentraler Bedeutung. Ziel dieses Beitrags sind eine systematische Analyse und Darstellung dieses Phänomens. Zunächst werden einige Begriffsbildungen auf systemtheoretischen Hintergrund vorgenommen. Dann werden Aspekte sozialer Beziehungen, wie zum Beispiel die Abgrenzung von Freundschaften zu Paarbeziehungen beschrieben. Anschließend werden Befunde ... [Show full abstract] und Theorien über Gruppenleistungen kompakt dargestellt. Darauf aufbauend werden Anleitungstechniken, wie die Prozedurale Moderation (Promod), vorgestellt, die Gruppenleistungen verbessern sollen. Zum Abschluss wird ein Überblick über Intergruppenprozesse, wie Gruppenbindung und Intergruppenkonflikte, gegeben. Die in diesem Artikel dargestellten Erkenntnisse psychologischer Forschung können auch als Basis für gezielte Verbesserungen bei der Gestaltung von sozialen Interaktionen dienen. Social relationships are of central importance for human life. This article presents a systematical analysis of this phenomenon. First, terms are clarified on a systems theoretic basis. Then, specific aspects of social relationships, for example the differentiation between friendships and close relationsships, are described. After a concise representation of results and theories of group performance, instruction techniques like procedural moderation (Promod) are introduced. These techniques are intended to improve group performances. Finally, a general review of intergroup processes like group formation and intergroup conflicts is given. The results of psychological research, which are presented here, may also provide a basis for improvement in the realization of social interaction.

Speaking up for collaboration in conservation

May 2018 · Biological Conservation

How do we deal with people who have different values and views about conservation? This question is central to the recent paper by Vucetich et al. (2018). They argue that mediator-led, collaborative processes are inadequate for dealing with conservation conflicts, in part because they are implicitly anthropocentric and ignore the intrinsic values of other species. Instead, they propose an ... [Show full abstract] approach based on a judicial process guided by objective principles. Having a judge in charge allows, amongst other things, species' intrinsic rights to be taken into account and weighed against the human interest. Similar arguments for a judicial approach, informed by experts, have been presented elsewhere (Treves et al., 2017). While this approach has its attractions, we question the authors' representation of collaborative processes, use of underlying principles, and the argument that a judicial approach would be a socially-just one.

Performance Requirements

January 2000

As performance is a vital quality factor for systems, an important challenge during system development is to deal with performance requirements. For a credit card system, for example, a developer might consider performance requirements to “achieve good response time for sales authorization” and “achieve good space usage for storing customer information.” Being global in their nature and impact, ... [Show full abstract] performance requirements are an important class of non-functional requirements (NFRs). To be effective, systems should attain NFRs as well as functional requirements (e.g., requiring a credit card system to authorize sales). However, it is generally difficult to deal with performance requirements and other NFRs, as they can conflict and interact with each other and with the many implementation alternatives which have varying features and tradeoffs.

Levels of Analysis in Social Work

January 1982

The central and universal demand that is made of social workers is that they should solve ‘problems’. The nature of the problems varies: they may be the problems of a community or the problems of a single member of that community: they range from the sociopolitical dilemma to the psychological trauma. Something of the nature of these problems and the skills available to social workers in their ... [Show full abstract] solution have been described in Chapter 11. The purpose of this chapter is to examine what SPA can offer in the analysis and solution of a problem. Problems can be analysed at many levels and the level of analysis adopted will have an important influence upon the definition of the problem, upon the solution preferred and upon the methods chosen to achieve that solution.
