Heritage has traditionally been associated with material objects, but recent conventions have emphasized the significance of intangible culture heritage. This article advocates a holistic approach towards the concept and considers key challenges for Europe's heritage at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Reflecting on the notion of 'European', it considers the question of how one defines European heritage and which European heritage is to be protected. It explores links between national and European conceptions of identity and heritage and queries issues of ownership, language and representation. A number of ethical issues are raised - such as the role of women in the transmission of heritage and the implications of information technology for copywriting traditional practices. The author also asks how one ensures that the process of globalisation facilitates rather than eliminates local cultural heritages? How does one enhance the local so that it becomes glocal and not obsolete?

Role Of It

My original project was to determine ethical principles for ethically globalized institutions. I also wanted to determine the role of IT in the ethics of globalization. Economic and cultural globalization are two of the most powerful forces enabled by IT. So my further question was, what is IT’s ethical responsibility with respect to these forces? The two focal points in this book for considering globalization were, first, Information Technology and, second, ethical issues which emerge only at a transnational level.

This chapter explores the role of women in late twentieth and twenty-first century Japan and explores how young women look at marriage and the family. Young women, often the focus of the Japanese media, are refusing to get married or have children in larger and larger numbers. This refusal is cataloged in a number of humorous books and essays by female cultural critics such as Sakai Junko, famous for her book Howl of a Loser Dog, Kusunoki Potosu who comes from the field of organic farming, and Haishi Kaori, a journalist. Using all the same demographic data, they make the case that fewer children are better for women and for Japan as a whole.

Role Of Women

The role of women in industry can never be overemphasized because education and industrialization are veritable tools for emancipating women from poverty. This study examines the position of women in industry and finds that African women, particularly Nigerian women do not thrive in industry like their male counterparts due to many factors that inhibit them. These factors include legal and traditional practices that are rooted in our culture. Apart from legal factors, the work finds some cultural factors like early marriage and widowhood practices that are inimical to participation of women in industry. The work recommends that Nigerian laws should be reviewed, particularly the 1999 Constitution which should be made gender sensitive, so that women will be empowered to participate fully in industry. Also, all obnoxious cultural practices that are inimical to participation of women in industry should be jettisoned.

This chapter examines the Third Book of Maccabees with an eye toward its unique contribution to the Apocrypha. By way of orientation, various historical and textual issues are discussed that place the text in the late first century bce or early first century ce. Additional focus is given to the role of women in the narrative, especially the figure of Arsinoë, who plays a decisive part in the opening Battle of Raphia. The chapter then turns to the theology of 3 Maccabees and highlights its emphasis on prayer, divine intervention, and the identity of the Jewish people living under a tyrannical king.

Acts and the role of women in the early churchThe aim of this article is to determine what the role of women in the church of the first century was according to Acts. Amongst other things it pertains to the situation of women within the community of believers on a daily basis. It not only includes their contribution to faith services and the faith community as a whole, but also how the faith community perceived them. What part did they play and what positions of leadership did they hold? Did their gender exclude them from exercising certain leadership roles? What was the gender-specific view of Christians? Establishing the historicity of every pericope in Acts is not the main aim. However, the article subscribe to the historicity of the overall picture of the role women played in the early church.

Role Of Women

This article examines the role of women in raising criminal actions of homicide before the central criminal court, in early modern Scotland. In doing so, it highlights the two main forms of standing women held; pursing an action for homicide alone and as part of a wider group of kin and family. The evidence presented therein challenges our current understanding of the role of women in the pursuit of crime and contributes to an under-researched area of Scots criminal legal history, gender and the law.
