Ideological Stance

In spite of many early observations and discussions, political and human situations have remained almost at crossroads. Hence, additional studies on human nature are needed to foster both social and structural transformations in human societies. The aim of this essay is to elucidate Sunnie Ododo's ideological stance in his play, Hard Choice with a view to suggesting a way of institutionalising value re-orientation for the much needed social advancement in all its ramifications. The study presents an existentialist perspective into the reading and understanding of Ododo's Hard Choice to underscore the lessons, which can be learnt from the piece of writing. The application of content analysis to the study provides an effective appreciation of the human nature vis - a - vis his existence, which is premised on freedom, choice and responsibility. The remainder of this paper is structured into introduction, theoretical framework, discussion and conclusion.

Cultural Lag

This article develops a theoretical framework to understand how sexuality can be institutionalised through debates about marriage equality. We first examine 13 Australian sporting organisations concerning their support for marriage equality and sexual minority inclusion before showing they drew cultural capital from supporting episodes of equality exogenous to their organisation, while failing to promote internal inclusion. We use online content analysis alongside the identification of institutional speech acts within policy to analyse results through three conceptual lenses: Ahmed’s institutional diversity work, Ogburn’s cultural lag, and Evan’s organisational lag, from which we propose a hybrid – organisational cultural lag – as a theoretical tool within social movement theory.

Equity And Inclusion

This article represents a snapshot and analysis of U. S. service arts organizations’ DEI statements and activities in 2018. At that time, many primarily White-serving U. S. cultural organizations responded defensively to accusations of elitism and a harmful rigged funding system that maintained the status quo by awarding most cultural funding to these organizations while undermining the health and vitality of cultural organizations by and for historically oppressed communities (Sidford, 2011). Furthermore, Helicon Collaborative (2017) found that even with a host of cultural equity, “diversity” projects (Tseng 2016), and public-facing DEI statements, little had changed within six years. Therefore, this study uses directed and summative content analysis to investigate the research question “what do cultural equity and diversity statements communicate about cultural organizations’ positions on DEI?” This study also uses Frankfurt’s (2005) essay On Bullshit and Laing’s (2016) two-prong definition of accountability as a theoretical framework to examine if and how cultural organizations hold themselves accountable for achieving DEI in the creative sector. Lastly, readers should keep in mind that the public murder of Geor-ge Floyd in 2020 has hastened all of the service arts organizations’ access, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) work examined in this study.

Rail Travel

Rail sometimes serves mainly as a transportation corridor connecting rural areas, or urban settings and green strips. However, the rise in the tourism industry in a developed country has increased the popularity of trails used in recreation. Apart from that, rail travel can be experienced as an enhancement of travel especially the onboard journey. Even though the rail tourism industry is well developed around the world, the studies related to rail travel in Malaysia are less plentiful. Therefore, this paper aims to review the idea of traveller’s experiences in rail tourism and identify the factors that contribute to rail tourism in Sabah Malaysia, especially among Special Interest Tourists (SITs). SITs can be defined as a specialized style of touristy that focuses on one topic and personally conducted tour by folks that wish to develop their interests. A content analysis on rail tourism, traveller’s experience, and the dimension of rail services was conducted for this paper. This is also involved an interview with the stakeholder to clarify and explain the features of rail tourism based on the content analysis and literature review. As for that, it's pointed out that the features and characteristics of the rail tourism setting as the variables of development criteria can make the touring route from the railway station is a pleasurable experience for tourists. It will give an impact on the experience and generate the intention of travellers to revisit and experience the services again. The final theoretical framework has been developed to show the concept of rail tourism among Special Interest Tourists (SITs) in Sabah Malaysia.

Docu-games designate a versatile group of games that have in common an attempt to depict and reflect on aspects of reality such as military conflicts, historical periods, or contemporary political and socio-cultural issues. As such, docu-games have become a new communication tool for individuals or organizations. This chapter explores different perspectives on games as documentaries, going beyond the mere subject matter and visualization of docu-games to approach questions about simulations as statements about reality and gameplay as a tool for communicating statements about reality. Combining cognitive documentary and games theory with content analysis, the chapter offers a theoretical framework for understanding how docu-games reference the relationship between reality and game, as well as how they establish credibility in relation to these representations.

Second Year

<p>This paper examines the religious content of three Moroccan second year Baccalaureate ELT textbooks. It studies the representation of religion as a cultural perspective in these textbooks to investigate whether they raise Moroccan learners’ awareness of other religions. It is built on the premise that the spread of religious intolerance is fueled by being insufficiently or inappropriately informed about local and foreign religions. It therefore draws the attention of ELT practitioners to recognizing the role ELT textbooks could play in reducing illiteracy about religions and fostering positive attitudes towards other religions. The study evolved within the theoretical framework of the Standards-Based Approach. It adopted a concurrent triangulation design and used mixed content analysis to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the examined textbooks do not sensitize learners about respect for diversity, tolerance and peaceful coexistence among different religions. Ultimately, some ways in which religious antagonism could be minimized are suggested.</p>

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar os relatos dos gestores de micro e pequenas empresas de João Pessoa-PB sob a perspectiva da Teoria Crítica, discutindo aspectos destes relatos associados aos mitos e fatos defendidos por Mintzberg (1990). A fundamentação teórica aborda três aspectos centrais: a importância da ciência da administração nos contextos teórico e prático; os mitos e fatos gerenciais e; a perspectiva da Teoria Crítica (TC) e suas reflexões no âmbito organizacional. Participaram da pesquisa 12 gestores, divididos em: graduados em administração, outra graduação e gestores sem formação superior. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, sendo, posteriormente, analisadas por meio da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados revelaram alguns aspectos peculiares entre os grupos de entrevistados, tais como: a necessidade dos mesmos em ter auto responsabilidade dentro e fora da empresa para buscar as informações e os conhecimentos necessários para garantir a sua sobrevivência ou ascensão no mercado atuante. Além disso, verificou-se que a abertura da gestão frente às propostas, sugestões ou críticas dos funcionários é um aspecto fundamental para tornar o ambiente de trabalho um lugar mais democrático e favorável às discussões pertinentes aos interesses de todos os colaboradores.  This study aims to analyze the reports of the managers of micro and small enterprises of João Pessoa-PB from the perspective of Critical Theory, discussing aspects of these reports associated to the myths and facts defended by Mintzberg (1990). The theoretical framework addresses three main aspects: the importance of management science in theoretical and practical contexts; the myths and facts and management and; the perspective of Critical Theory (CT) and its reflections on the organizational level. The participants were 12 managers, divided into: managers degree in business administration, with other graduate and managers without higher education. Semi-structured interviews, and later analyzed using content analysis were performed. The results revealed some peculiar aspects of the interview groups, such as the need for them to have self-responsibility inside and outside the company to find the information and knowledge needed to ensure their survival or rise in the active market and the sense of constant learning. Furthermore, it was found that opening the front to management proposals, suggestions or criticisms of the employees is a key aspect to make the workplace a more democratic and favorable place to discussions relevant to the interests of all employees.
