The article provides a sociocultural analysis of parameters of the millennials, the generation which will become the basic workforce in Russia in the next 10 years. It being topical, the major attention of the paper is dedicated to market and micro-interactionist influence of basic traits of millennials. The issue of treating millennials is faced both sociologically and managerially. It is said that the large number of conflicts between millennials and older generations leads to systematic inconvenience and turbulence, as it does not allow young employees to integrate in corporate cultures and increase own labor efficiency, at the same time affecting older employees, the management and corporative performance. Another aspect of the core issue raised by the author is educating the youth. Understanding the set of core values of millennials, their strategies and tactics of behavior in the workplace also becomes a prerequisite for teachers to successfully train students of this generation in universities. This research, in addition to many recent ones, examines that millennials can be characterized with such distinctive features. They, being digital natives, shift to more rapid, discrete and depersonalized forms of communication. Focused on managing their personal image and identity, millennials prefer playing socially desirable roles and tend to reframe own failures into external misfortunes. This brings about the issue of meeting the set goals, and nowadays the youth tends to plan less and rather get more usual feedback which is expected to be positive. These features are most likely to breed intergeneration misunderstanding. However, what is surely discovered to be helpful in settling controversies is that millennials tend to be more flexible and tolerant than other generations, which tells on general success of interaction and effort. The author, addressing the challenges of communication with modern youth, offers recommendations based on his own pedagogical experience of interaction with millennials. These are: provide basic guidelines and time plans as well as assessment benchmarks. Managerial staff should also dedicate more effort to mentorship and peer-level communication.

Value Preferences

The research outlines the findings of collaborative insights into the core values anchored in the linguistic consciousness of people living in the Urals and represented across diverse areas of speech in the cities of the Middle Urals. The purpose of the study is to understand the linguoaxiologic reality of the current times, interpret representatives of value concepts with a consolidating function. To reach the target, the authors have practiced sociolinguistic monitoring helping to reveal value preferences among the student youth. Using the complementation principle, they have conducted a psycholinguistic experiment aimed at identifying nuclear and peripheral conceptual meanings anchored in the linguistic consciousness. The findings helped to conclude: the core of basic values is a system of interrelated conceptual meanings organized as a cognitive matrix. Based on a meaningful interpretation of the materials used in the experiment, the authors managed to identify the increase in the divergent self-mentality of a subject with free consciousness focused on self-fulfillment and pursuing personal goals. However, at the emotional level, young people stay committed to the socio-centric traditions of the Russian culture: family interests (we-group) prevail over individual interests. The linguoaxiologic analysis of municipal newspaper texts and methods of metalanguage study helped to describe the value aspects of provincial thinking: native speakers feel both as Uralians and Russians with preserved national, primarily, family traditions. The core value of the urban provincial community is little homeland — a key category of the Ural mentality. The mentally relevant mindsets are those related to common good. Using conversation scripts reflecting the distinctive features of speech communication in the Urals, the authors divide the value-thematic and communicative-value text fragments, develop an algorithm for linguoaxiological commenting on oral dialogue.

Early Chinese Philosophy

This review article defends Brook Ziporyn against the charge, quite common in graduate classroom discussions, if not in print, that his readings of early Chinese philosophy are ‘overly Buddhist’. These readings are found in his three most recent books: Ironies of Oneness and Difference: Coherence in Early Chinese Thought, Beyond Oneness and Difference: Li and Coherence in Chinese Buddhist Thought and Its Antecedents, and Emptiness and Omnipresence: An Essential Introduction to Tiantai Buddhism. His readings are clearly Buddhist-influenced, but this is not in and of itself problematic. The core issue is rather to what degree these ‘Buddhist elements’ are actually already existent in, and have subsequently been carried over from, early Chinese thought in the development of Chinese Buddhism. Indeed, some scholars of Chinese Buddhism have pointed out that much of the vocabulary, concepts, and logic used in schools such as Tiantai may owe more to Daoist influences than to Buddhist ones. Accordingly, Ziporyn’s ‘overly Buddhist’ approach might simply be an avenue of interpretation that is actually quite in line with the thinking in the early texts themselves, albeit one that is less familiar (i.e. an early Chinese Buddhist or Ziporyn’s approach). The article also aims to show how Ziporyn’s theory concerning the importance of ‘coherence’ in early and later Chinese philosophy is also quite important in his above work on Tiantai Buddhism, Emptiness and Omnipresence. While in this work Ziporyn almost entirely abstains from using the language of coherence, much of it actually rests on a strong coherence-based foundation, thereby demonstrating not Ziporyn’s own prejudice, but rather the thoroughgoing importance and versatility of his arguments on coherence. Indeed, understanding the importance of coherence in his readings of Tiantai Buddhism (despite the fact that he does not explicitly use coherence-related vocabulary) only bolsters the defense against the claims that he makes ‘overly Buddhist’ readings of early Chinese philosophy.

Ordinary Citizens

"Forrest Gump" bas been extraordinarily popular with the ordinary citizens and one of the reasons is self-evident: it presents a Jeffersonian confidence in the moral stalwartness of the yeoman citizenry that runs counter to some of the current approaches in ethics. The film celebrates a basic decency and a common sense that are accessible to all. No real or imagined superiority is required for one to partake. The film is not only popular but also populist in its assertion of the primacy of the ordinary citizen within this regime. In a political climate that now finds the tenure of elected officials uncertain and the legitimacy of public administration suspect, the visible portrayal of exemplary citizen virtues may serve as a timely reminder to all that, more so than any other regime, a democratic republic is ultimately and fundamentally dependent on the core values possessed by its citizenry.

This chapter explores a possible alternative to traditional “paper-and-pencil” assessment practices in music classes. It argues that an approach based on phenomenological philosophy and inspired by recent developments in cognitive science may shed new light on learning and help educators reconsider grading systems accordingly. After individuating the core issue in an unresolved tension between subjective-objective methodologies relevant to certain learning contexts, the chapter proposes a possible remedy by appealing to three principles central to “embodied” approaches to cognition. Such principles may help educators reframe cognitive phenomena (learning described as a measurable event based on “information processing”) in terms of cognitive ecosystems (learning understood as a negotiating and transformative activity codetermined by diverse embodied and ecological factors connected in recurrent fashion). Accommodating this shift implies transforming assessment practices into more open and flexible systems that take seriously the challenge of cooperative learning and phenomenological reflections.

In this essay, we are arguing that the field of organizational change and development is positioned to face the challenges of researching change and changing for the next decade and beyond. The core values in the field—that researching change and enacting changing are collaborative ventures undertaken in the present tense where the outcome is actionable knowledge, and that it serves the practical ends of organizations and generates the knowledge of how organizations change—are of utmost relevant for the emerging workplace and organizations. Through differentiated consciousness interiority challenges the polarizations that beset the field (between science and practice) and provides an integrative process focused on the operations of human knowing.

Do So

AbstractStudies in collective intelligence have shown that suboptimal cognitive traits of individuals can lead a group to succeed in a collective cognitive task, in recent literature this is called mandevillian intelligence. Analogically, as Mandeville has suggested, the moral vices of individuals can sometimes also lead to collective good. I suggest that this mandevillian morality can happen in many ways in collaborative activities. Mandevillian morality presents a challenge for normative virtue theories in ethics. The core of the problem is that mandevillian morality implies that individual vice is, in some cases, valuable. However, normative virtue theories generally see vice as disvaluable. A consequence of this is that virtue theories struggle to account for the good that can emerge in a collective. I argue that normative virtue theories can in fact accommodate for mandevillian emergent good. I put forward three distinctive features that allow a virtue theory to do so: a distinction between individual and group virtues, a distinction between motivational and teleological virtues, and an acknowledgement of the normativity of “vicious” roles in groups.

While research on third language (L3) and multilingualism has recently shown remarkable growth, the fundamental question of what makes trilingualism special compared to bilingualism, and indeed monolingualism, continues to be evaded. In this contribution we consider whether there is such a thing as a true monolingual, and if there is a difference between dialects, styles, registers and languages. While linguistic and psycholinguistic studies suggest differences in the processing of a third, compared to the first or second language, neurolinguistic research has shown that generally the same areas of the brain are activated during language use in proficient multilinguals. It is concluded that while from traditional linguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives there are grounds to differentiate monolingual, bilingual and multilingual processing, a more dynamic perspective on language processing in which development over time is the core issue, leads to a questioning of the notion of languages as separate entities in the brain.

As a powerful tool in solving privacy preserving cooperative problems, secure multiparty computation is more and more popular in electronic bidding, anonymous voting, and online auction. Privacy preserving sequencing problem which is an essential link is regarded as the core issue in these applications. However, due to the difficulties of solving multiparty privacy preserving sequencing problem, related secure protocol is extremely rare. In order to break this deadlock, this paper first presents an efficient secure multiparty computation protocol for the general privacy-preserving sequencing problem based on symmetric homomorphic encryption. The result is of value not only in theory, but also in practice.
