scholarly journals Social-axiologic analysis of the phenomenon of lie

The article deals with the axiological aspects of lying as a social phenomenon. A special attention is paid to the impact of sociocultural transformations on the evaluation of the phenomenon of lying. An example of such an influence is the accentuated negative attitude towards hypocrisy, insincerity, conventions in social communication, which arose during the modernization of society and was caused by such factors as the development of critical thinking, the interiorization of human spiritual life as well as the individualization of human activity. Lie becomes possible because of voluntary, reasonable and sensual elements in human. The voluntary element represents itself in aspiration of corrigating the reality in own interests, the reasonable in understanding the real and possible, true and probable, the sensual in ability to hypocrisy nad emotional influence onto recipients. Ambiguity of lie consists in that it begets not only blame but also admiration for that, who lies, demonstrates thereby self-control, insolence, resourcefulness, artistic abilities. In the process of the traditional society modernization the level of distrust grows that is explained by traditional social ties destruction. The rationalization of culture that widens subject field of diubt becomes an important factor. There changes the attitude to truth that prescribes severe criteria for authority, traditions, checking with time are not sufficient more.

<p>The general objective of this research is to find and analyze empirically about <br />the critical thinking skills of students towards mathematics courses in terms of students' learning styles and attitudes. Research carried out by the method exposes affordable facto population Junior High School eighth grade students Sukmajaya Depok District of the academic year 2013/2014 as much as 320 students. Large sample of 78 students, with Samling technique used simple random sampling. The results of hypothesis testing is concluded as follows: (1) critical thinking skills of mathematics students who have a kinesthetic learning style (?B3 = 68.69) was higher than the average of critical thinking skills of students who have a visual learning style (?B1 = 62.38) and auditory (?B2 = <br />67.08). (2) critical thinking skills of students who have a positive attitude in math (?A1 = 68.62) was higher than the mean of the critical thinking skills of students who have a negative attitude on the math (?A2 = 63.49). (3) There is no interaction between students' learning styles and attitudes in mathematics on the ability to think critically. Students as individuals have all three learning styles are mutually supportive even though there is a tendency in one type, therefore, students are expected to combine all three learning styles <br />so that the impact will improve critical thinking skills. </p>

COVID-19 has led to an unprecedented disruption of normal social relationships and activities, which are so important during the teen years and young adulthood, and to education and economic activity worldwide. The impact of this on young people’s mental health and future prospects may affect their need for support and services, and the speed of the nation’s social recovery afterwards. This study focused on the unique challenges facing young people at different points during adolescent development, which spans from the onset of puberty until the mid-twenties. Although this is an immensely challenging time and there is a potential risk for long term trauma, adolescence can be a period of opportunity, where the teenagers’ brain enjoys greater capacity for change. Hence, the focus on young people is key for designing age-specific interventions and public policies, which can offer new strategies for instilling resilience, emotional regulation, and self-control. In fact, adolescents might be assisted to not only cope, but excel, in spite of the challenges imposed by this pandemic. Our work will feed into the larger societal response that utilizes the discoveries about adolescence in the way we raise, teach, and treat young people during this time of crisis. Wave 1 data has already been collected from 2,002 young people aged 13-24, measuring their mental health (anxiety, depression, trauma), family functioning, social networks, and resilience, and social risk-taking at the time of the pandemic. Here we present a preliminary report of our findings, (Report 1). Data collected 21/4/20- 29/4/20 - a month after the lockdown started).

ABSTRACT This role play requires students to consider the complexities of a small CPA firm urgently attempting to replace the unique industry knowledge and experience possessed by a terminally ill audit partner. In this role play, students assume the position of either an existing partner or a former partner who is considering rejoining the firm. This role play includes two sections. First, in the planning stage, students brainstorm mutually equivalent options that satisfy their critical financial and nonfinancial interests to address the problem of replacing the terminally ill partner in their respective existing partner and former partner teams. Second, students engage in a “table” negotiation with their assigned counterpart to reach an amicable agreement to this firm crisis and participate in a debriefing session and prepare a debriefing document. The small firm context provides a unique opportunity to make contributions to the existing accounting and auditing literature related to enhancing students' critical thinking and negotiation skills. Distinctive small firm role play elements that should enhance critical thinking and negotiation skills include considering contingent agreements that dovetail differences in future legal liability forecasts, and dovetailing differences to take advantage of complementary skill sets to mitigate industry-specific auditor detection risks and related business risks.1 Critical thinking skills also should be strengthened through negotiating a package of interests and related options including the impact of various tradeoffs that are not fully known until the table negotiation commences so that the final agreement does not exceed the firm's non-negotiable budgetary constraints.

Abstract Learning through reflection is one of the most interesting experiences that students might have. It is considered a very good tool for self-assessing learning. It is believed that “teachers who promote reflective classrooms ensure that students are fully engaged in the process of making meaning” (Costa and Kallick, 2008, para.5). Dewey (1991) was among the first researchers who based his work and research on the positive roles that reflection plays in fostering self-reflection and critical thinking. He has defined it as an active, persistent and careful consideration of any belief. Reflections give students opportunities to think and reflect about their learning and note down the obstacles they might face during this process. The present study aims to investigate the impact of journal writing in promoting critical-thinking skills, and its impact on enhancing learning. The study uses two instruments, a student refection journal and an interview. Also, Marzano’s New Taxonomy of Educational Objectives developed in 2000 was used in the third phase of the study. This Taxonomy contains Three Systems: the Self-system, the Metacognitive system and the Cognitive system. The overall study results show that reflection journals help students to become more independent learners, reflect on their learning experiences and identify the most useful learning strategies. Most importantly, all study participants hold positive attitudes towards reflection and they consider it as a valuable tool which can increase learning.

The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of the EEC on one border region, the French province of Alsace, through an examination of its economic and social transactions with West Germany since 1960. No great increase in Alsatian social ties with Germany has been observed, but there has been considerable growth in economic contacts, leading to a new prosperity for the province. Alsatian economic integration with the rest of France is not increasing as fast, but it has not been noticeably weakened. Alsatian elite and public opinion generally supports the growth of economic bonds with Germany, largely because of their contribution to economic welfare. Transaction and attitude data indicate a continuation of the present trend of important economic, but only limited social, ties between Alsace and its German neighbor.
