One perspective on economics, a neoclassical one, looks at economics as the study of how society produces wealth or abundance. Another perspective, a more neoliberal approach, is to conceive of 'economics' as the study of how society confronts scarcity. Too often, examinations of the arts economy focus on the latter: on the scarcity of financial resources, physical resources, technological resources, and so on. As the neoliberalist approach continues to show its fissures and inadequacies both before and during the Covid crisis, we begin to see that scarcity is not derived from the substitutable choices made by individuals but is as much or more a result of systemic inequities. These include unequal access to education, healthcare, secure housing, and, more generally, opportunity. While opportunities to express one’s creativity are often limited by race, class, gender, and geography, creativity itself is an asset that defies such boundaries and limitations and is one held in abundance by artists. How do artists use their creativity to produce the material assets they need to overcome hardship and inequity?

The Relationship

Abstract In this study, the relationship between schooling and intergenerational mobility was examined by applying regression analysis and path analysis models to the CHNS dataset. It was found that schooling has only small effects on status and economic equality. It was found that stronger, intermediate effects resulted from parents’ transforming advantages attached to their economic, educational and household registration status into advantages for their children. These trends, now growing stronger in transitional China, have resulted from increasing returns to education and increasingly unequal access to education. In order to prevent schooling from contributing to the solidification of economic inequality, equity in access to education must be pursued.

The University

The university accepts the responsibility of educational programs, carries out research programs and offers programs in diverse areas to the community at large. In order to do this, the university requires human and physical resources which, without taking into con-sideration their intrinsic value, are all translated into financial resources. It follows logically that this requires an allocation of resources for the different programs which takes into account the development priorities which the very implantation of the programs tries to reveal. But the process which consists of foreseeing the rational allocation of resources is extremely delicate, as much on the level of political significance, internal and external, as on the technical level which consists of focussing on the tools required for a new reading of budgetary reality.

Gathering Place

This study discusses the concept of a multicultural society in a sociological perspective, where the Indonesian state as a gathering place for various ethnic groups, nations, religions and beliefs in its history has provided valuable lessons. There are times when diversity in Indonesia creates conflict, but in other places there is also the diversity that is owned by the Indonesian people as a source of strength to keep each other from being crushed by the progress of the times. Understanding multiculturalism is not something that must be owned by intellectuals or those from community leaders only, but all levels, layers, and lines of society become a necessity for the importance of understanding this multiculturalism. Because at this time the reality is that Indonesian people in general are very vulnerable to disaster due to SARA (ethnic, religion, race, and inter-group) issues that are blown by electronic media. In order to prevent "bloody conflict" disasters from happening again, multiculturalism will always be relevant to be discussed throughout the ages, considering that generations are always changing. The purpose of this study is to bring the understanding of multiculturalism in particular to the younger generation, and in general at all levels of society, not just an academic discourse. The method in writing this work uses library research, as well as by presenting examples of cases that have occurred in Indonesia. The results of the study in the discussion chapter, in general it can be concluded that the understanding of multiculturalism in Indonesia is not something that comes from outside, meaning that local wisdom created from ancient times has also strengthened the conditions of multicultural society. But on the other hand, unequal access to education by the community until now, the potential for horizontal conflict is always there. In the context of the consequences of a pluralistic society in Indonesia, that within a diverse structure, the seeds of conflict at times become a latent threat to damage the social order. And problems at the local level will easily become national problems because there are no longer limits for people to consume information

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze a Psychosocial Care Network structure, based on the compromise of its resources and meeting objectives and guidelines recommended in Ordinance 3,088/2011. Method: an empirical, quantitative study with 123 primary care professionals, psychosocial and emergency care, who work at Western Network of the city of São Paulo. Questionnaires and statistical analysis were applied through the Exact Fisher’s test with 5% significance considering p= <0.05. Results: there is compromise of physical resources in the absence of mental health beds in a general hospital (p=0.047); of technological resources in the lack of discussion forums (p=0.036); of human resources in number of teams (p=0.258); and of financial resources (p=0.159). Psychosocial care is the one that most meets the objectives and guidelines. Conclusion: there are insufficient physical, technological, human, and financial resources for the work articulated in the three care modalities that are heterogeneous in terms of meeting the objectives and guidelines.

This study is designed to analyze the influence of industrial park (IP) development on the lives of people living around the IPs in Vietnam and on new livelihood strategies for people after the industrial park was built and developed. Data were collected from a survey of 409 people living around industrial parks in three regions of Vietnam (Northern, Central, and South Vietnam). The findings show that the livelihood resources, such as financial resources, physical resources, social resources, and natural resources, have a positive relationship with people’s livelihoods after industrial park construction and development; though, the degree of influence of these resources is different. Whereas human resources have a positive effect (through the item – additional jobs created by the industrial park) and a negative effect on income (through the object – the unemployed labor by the industrial park built and developed). The findings also show that most households surveyed responded that their lives had changed for the better (about 41.36% compared to nearly 28.91% of households surveyed who said their income had decreased).

Education Process

The constituent element of every society is its structure. It grows on the basis of multiple factors and constitutes a specific context of human behavior, and more specifically the behavior of individuals of particular groups. On the one hand, human action always has a specific internal logic, but it is also externally conditioned; it takes place within a concrete framework, which are called structures. The structures are therefore a systematized pattern constituting specific frames defining the ways of human interaction. Among social structures, social stratification is at the forefront, understood as a system of structured, socially important inequalities. Within them, individuals or categories of people have unequal access to socially appreciated values.In modern society, education is one of the most important factors of social stratification. It is within the framework of the education process that individuals prepare to fulfill social roles. Considering the fact that some roles are described as important and desirable, they are also better paid, and moreover, they are given higher social prestige. As a consequence, they become an important factor of social stratification. On the other hand, unequal access to education for any reason, makes it difficult for individuals to promote themselves and places them lower in the hierarchy of layers. In this way, education becomes an important factor in social stratification.
