How Should We Judge Deviant Behaviors in Virtual Worlds?

AbstractDavid Chalmers argues that virtual objects exist in the form of data structures that have causal powers. I argue that there is a large class of virtual objects that are social objects and that do not depend upon data structures for their existence. I also argue that data structures are themselves fundamentally social objects. Thus, virtual objects are fundamentally social objects.

La vinculación entre la familia y la escuela es esencial para la educación de los estudiantes de cualquier institución educativa. Entre sus funciones más importantes se ubica, la prevención de las posibles conductas desviadas en el ámbito escolar. El presente estudio aborda el comportamiento de la función prevención y solución de problemas de la orientación familiar, desde el análisis de riesgo; al caracterizar su estado actual y proponer una estrategia para el perfeccionamiento de la orientación familiar, para ello se utilizaron fundamentalmente métodos teóricos de investigación como el método hipotético deductivo, la abstracción científica, el método comparativo, el enfoque sistémico estructural funcional y en calidad de complemento, el diagnóstico. Ellos permitieron arribar a los resultados que presentamos, el estudio es descriptivo y causal.

With the growth of cannabis tourism, destinations such as the Netherlands have begun to offer cannabis-related products and services to visitors, including tourists from countries where all drugs are strictly prohibited. Yet limited research has sought to understand cannabis-oriented tourists' efforts to neutralize deviant connotations, namely by justifying or rationalizing misbehavior, when deciding to participate in cannabis tourism. This research note proposes a framework of deviant consumption behavior (DCB) constructed of geographic shifting, self-identity shifting, and moral identity shifting from the perspective of cannabis-oriented tourists to delineate tourists' decision-making process around engaging in deviant behaviors. The proposed framework suggests that previously developed DCB frameworks in the marketing and consumer behavior literature should be adapted for use in outbound tourism research. This research note also highlights areas for debate and investigation regarding cannabis tourists' deviant behavior. Future research directions are provided based on the proposed framework as it applies to deviant tourism research.
