Buku ini berusaha mengungkapkan berbagai sudut pandang terhadap kasus atau peristiwa seputar HAM, yang terkait aneka aspek di berbagai belahan dunia. Dewasa ini, masih banyak ditemukan kasus mengenai pelanggaran HAM (Hak Asasi Manusia). Baik dalam lingkup nasional maupun internasional. Hak-hak dasar seperti hak untuk hidup, keamanan, kebebasan masih belum sepenuhnya didapatkan oleh sebagian masyarakat secara layak. Oleh karena itu buku ini membahas mengenai beberapa isu pelanggaran HAM yang ada di dunia dan bagaimana kemudian generasi muda menyajikan perspektifnya. Sebagai buah karya tulis ilmiah besar harapan kami bahwa buku ini dapat menambah wawasan bagi para pembaca di berbagai kalangan, akademisi maupun umum, terkait eksistensi isu-isu HAM di dunia. Terlepas dari itu semua, kami meyadari sepenuhnya bahwa masih ada keterbatasan dalam buku ini. Sehingga kami terbuka untuk segala diskusi lebih lanjut mengenai buku ini. Semoga buku ini dapat bermanfaat untuk khalayak ramai, dan dapat dinikmati oleh mereka yang peduli dengan eksistensi penegakan HAM di berbagai ranah kehidupan manusia, di berbagai belahan dunia.

This volume is initial reflections on the meaning and the implications of Yuk Hui’s notion of cosmotechnics, which opens up an anti-universalist and pluralist perspective on technology beyond the West. Martin Heidegger’s famous analysis of the essence of technology as enframing and as rooted in ancient Greek techne has had a crucial influence on the understanding and critique of technological society and culture in the twentieth century. However, it is still unclear to what extent his analysis can also be applied to the development of technology outside of ‘the West’, e.g. in China, Africa, and Latin America, particularly against the backdrop of receding Western domination and impend...

What does Western science know about the relationship between individual well-being and cultural trends? What can learn from other cultural traditions? What do the recent advancements in positive psychology teach us on this issue, particularly the eudaimonic framework, which emphasizes the connections between personal well-being and social welfare? People grow and live in cultures that deeply influence their values, aspirations and behaviors. However, individuals in their turn play an active role in building their own goals, growth trajectories and social roles, at the same time influencing culture trends. This process, defined psychological selection, is related to the individual pursuit of...

Human dignity, the ability to establish a sense of self-worth and self-respect and to enjoy the respect of others, is necessary for a fully realized life. Working with dignity is a fundamental part of achieving a life well-lived, yet the workplace often poses challenging obstacles because of mismanagement or managerial abuse. Defending dignity and realizing self-respect through work are key to workers' well-being; insuring the dignity of employees is equally important for organizations as they attempt to make effective use of their human capital. In this book Randy Hodson, a sociologist of work and organizational behavior, applies ethnographic and statistical approaches to this topic, offering both a richly detailed, inside look at real examples of dignity in action, and a broader analysis of the pivotal role of dignity at work.
It has long been a central conviction of western humanistic thought that reason is the most godlike of human traits, and that it makes us unique among animals. Yet if reason directs what we do, why is human behavior so often violent, irrational and disastrous? In Within Reason, leading neurologist Donald B. Calne investigates the phenomenon of rationality from an astonishingly wide array of scientific, sociological, and philosophical perspectives--and shows that although reason evolved as a crucial tool for human survival, it is an aspect of mind and brain which has no inherent moral or spiritual qualities and one whose relationship to our thoughts and actions may not be as central as we want to believe. Learned, lucid, and always illuminating, Within Reason brings together the latest developments in the science of mind with some of the most enduring questions of Western thought.
