Binary Oppositions

The paper reveals the moral code, extolled in the renowned Kipling’s poem “If” by means of cognitive interpretation. The author’s message containing his idea of moral code is unraveled in minimum meaningful spaces of the poem (usually one or two lines), which are analyzed in depth. Each space highlights the trajector features of character and the corresponding reference frames (domains), which serve as background for their understanding. The peculiarity of moral concepts consists in the fact that they are based on the evaluative component and therefore they form binary oppositions. The antagonist for the moral concept within such opposition serves as its benchmark, since the essence of a moral value is revealed only when it is contrasted to its opposite, therefore the paper makes an attempt of alignment trajector domains with the benchmarks. In order to delve into the Kipling’s understanding of moral code the distinguished ethical values were arranged in the form of field model. The nucleus of the model comprises most frequently actualized values from the moral code, while periphery includes values with lower rate of actualization. Along with cognitive analyses of Kipling’s moral doctrine the paper highlights the peculiarities of poetic narration, which include abstract dictum, use of subjunctive mood and symbolism. Particular attention is also paid to the use of personification and metaphor.

Starting Point

Samantha Brennan notes in her survey article, “Recent Works in Feminist Ethics,” that “the reshaping of moral concepts in light of feminist critiques of individualism and feminist development of relational alternatives represents significant progress in feminist ethics, indeed in ethics at large.” Two suggestions in this claim serve as a starting point for my application of a relational approach to inequalities in a global context. First, equality is a moral concept that has been and continues to be central to Western liberal theory. The global context reveals liberalism's dominance on the world scene as well as increases in inequalities of wealth both within and across borders. I claim that this context calls for renewed vigilance in the “reshaping of moral concepts” that are central to liberal theory. To clarify, I do not argue that feminists must work with these concepts. Rather I hold that some concepts, one of them being equality, have enduring moral value and this makes continued feminist analyses of them important, particularly in the contemporary global context.

The precious possession of any educational institution worth its name is the treasure of knowledge and skills which it imparts to the educands in the hope that this very treasure proves to be valuable for them in every walk of life. The treasure of values serves as the springboard for determining the various aims of education. In fact, values act as the cornerstone of entire educational process whatsoever be the field. However, it is a matter of grave concern that the monetary value of education is escalating and its moral value is dwindling day by day. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that the real cause and worth of education are plummeting with each passing day. As per the current scenario, there is dire need of instilling moral and ethical values in all those who are related to the field of education and this necessitates the inclusion of value based education the prime onus of which lies on the shoulders of none other than the teacher who is undoubtedly the maker of a nation's destiny.The present paper reflects upon the significance and need of value education and also throws light on how can moral and ethical values be inculcated in students at various levels of education besides giving valuable suggestions pertaining to the use of same in the field of Teaching and Pre-service Teacher Education programme.

Te article studies symbolic meanings of colors in the Arab on the material of Arabic sacred, literary texts, dictionary editions, and folklore. Tere is considered the place of each element of the color palette in the Arab ethnic picture of the world, which expresses moral and ethical values and worldview of the Arab ethnic group, and the importance and influence of colors on the Arab mentality. Te analysis reveals the similarities and differences in the perception of colors and their symbolic meanings in the Arab and Russian languages. Arabs’ perception of a particular color is based on their fgurative system, in which all the phenomena of the surrounding world appear not in the form of philosophical abstract generalizations, but as a realistic perception of the surrounding reality. Symbolism of their perception is revealed in their practical life, the basis on which national consciousness and national mentality is formed. Color symbolism depends on the place and conditions in which an ethnic group lives. A national picture of the world, however, is not only and not so much a reflection of these conditions, it is a reflection of their moral, ethical and aesthetic conceptualization, fxed in various linguistic forms and transmitted from generation to generation as a moral code allowing people to preserve their national identity.

Epistemic Role

Many authors have argued that emotions serve an epistemic role in our moral practice. Some argue that this epistemic connection is so strong that creatures who do not share our affective nature will be unable to grasp our moral concepts. I argue that even if this sort of incommensurability does result from the role of affect in morality, incommensurability does not in itself entail relativism. In any case, there is no reason to suppose that one must share our emotions and concerns to be able to apply our moral concept successfully. Finally, I briefly investigate whether the moral realist can seek aid and comfort from Davidsonian arguments to the effect that incommensurability in ethics is in principle impossible, and decide that these arguments are not successful. I conclude that the epistemic role our emotions play in moral discourse does not relativize morality.

The Garuḍapurāṇa is one of the most important Sāttvika Purāṇa which closely deals with all kinds of ethical values viz., dāna, vrata, ācāra, vyāvahāra, prāyaścitta, āśauca etc. This Purāṇa continues to be a perpetual source of inspiration, awakening the intellect of the human society and thereby exert influence on the religion of the people. Puranic literature carries perennial message for the welfare of the mankind. The Garuḍapurāṇa is encyclopaedic in nature and embraces a vast range of subjects like āyurveda, jyotiṣa, astronomy, metrics, grammar, religion and philosophy, cosmogony, the knowledge of supreme Brahman, rebirth, karman, geography, politics and the like. It is also an abstract of Dharmaśāstra which deal with ācāra, vyāvahāra, prāyaścitta, dāna, āśauca etc. All these are some directive complementary to each other which regulate the behaviour of human conduct in a right way and therefore these are the principal objects of discussion in Dharmaśāstra literature. Among these different topics of Dharmaśāstra, the Dānadharma has great spiritual and moral value in the Hindu society because it has been playing an important role in moulding the character and behaviour of the people of our country through ages. Dāna or charity means to give anything forever without any expectation of return. It is regarded as the best form of dharma which promotes the high ideal of human values. It is one kind of help and act of giving or sharing anything with others without a selfish motive or desire for its results with the intention of welfare or to help. It benefits both the giver and receiver and promotes peace and harmony in the society by favouring economic equilibrium. In the Garuḍapurāṇa four types of dāna are mentioned. These are nitya (daily), naimittika (occasional), kāmya (made with the desire of fruits) and vimala (pure or disinterested). All these have great numerous values in the society of the time of Garuḍapurāṇa. Here, in this paper, a modest attempt is made to highlight the value of dānadharma and its impact on society through the spectrum of Garuḍapurāṇa.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the means for enhancing the image and business legitimacy of a socially discredited industry – pawnbroking in pre-1949 China – are explored. Previous studies suggest companies operating within such industries cannot solely rely on hard marketing strategies “to maximize sales and profits as they do with soaps and shoes” (Davidson, 2003, p. 7). Instead, they must find soft strategies for improving company and industry image and legitimacy. Design/methodology/approach This research relies on qualitative analysis of historical data and documents. Findings Soft strategies deployed by Chinese pawnbrokers – such as interpretations, moral value advocacies and institutionalized arrangements – contributed substantially to improving pawnbroking’s image and business legitimacy. Research limitations/implications Interconnections among ethical values, image, business legitimacy and select marketing strategies are clarified. The efficacy of historically analyzing previously implemented business strategies and their embedding contexts is discussed. Practical implications Strategies Chinese pawnbrokers used to mitigate their previously negative image and boost their business legitimacy suggest strategies current socially disapproved companies can use to improve their image and business legitimacy. Originality/value A historical analysis of pre-1949 Chinese pawnbroking can suggest soft marketing strategies for overcoming consumers’ negative company and industry impressions.

The 19Th Century

Hakka studies rely strongly on history and historiography. However, despite the fact that in rural Hakka communities women play a central role, in the main historical sources women are almost absent. They do not appear in genealogy books, if not for their being mothers or wives, although they do appear in some legends, as founders of villages or heroines who distinguished themselves in defending the villages in the absence of men. They appear in modern Hakka historiography—Hakka historiography is a very recent discipline, beginning at the end of the 19th century—for their moral value, not only for adhering to Confucian traditional values, but also for their endorsement of specifically Hakka cultural values. In this paper we will analyse the cultural paradigm that allows women to become part of Hakka history. We will show how ethical values are reflected in Hakka historiography through the reading of the earliest Hakka historians as they depicted Hakka women. Grounded on these sources, we will see how the narration of women in Hakka history has developed until the present day. In doing so, it is necessary to deal with some relevant historical features in the construction of Hakka group awareness, namely migration, education, and women narratives, as a pivotal foundation of Hakka collective social and individual consciousness.

Ethnoculture as an integral system that combines the traditional with the innovative can preserve its identity, provided that it is based on universal moral ideals. For the Chechens, ethical values are not just a set of systematic rules, but spiritual customs of social interaction, through which society has main-tained stability. The moral code of the Chechen people is based on honor, conscience, and nobility and reflects all aspects of moral existence. Despite a number of studies of the traditions, ethnoculture and customs of the Vainakh people, many problems of the spiritual and moral component of culture are not fully understood. Disregard for moral norms and the priority of material values is a modern reality, and for the effectiveness of the spiritual and moral development of the young generation, it is neces-sary to combine the moral experience of ethnic cul-ture with universal religious and ethical ideals. The fate of an ethnic group depends on its moral stabil-ity in the face of challenges of social transfor-mations, which, in turn, determines the relevance of this work. Since conscience is a spiritual mechanism that demonstrates the extent to which a person re-mains committed to their moral principles, it plays a crucial role in the process of forming the moral prin-ciples of a person.
