Different Parts

The successful law student needs to be able to place the law in context, analyse its effects on different parts of society, apply these rules to different problems, and reflect upon the suitability of both individual laws and the law as an institution. This ability to think critically and undertake broad and deep legal analysis is important to becoming a lawyer, but is also valuable for any other career. This chapter explores the importance of critical thinking to the law degree and beyond, and looks at how the student can bring analysis and criticism into their work. It considers techniques for problem solving and essay writing, and the importance of constructing arguments balancing ‘content’ and ‘thought’.

Creative Problem

In this paper, the author describes philosophical concepts of adult learning and their application as integrated with creative problem solving within the context of social justice and human rights. The context is framed by the work of the United Nations (1992) which emphasizes importance of women's roles and creativity in the process of forming a global community. Foundational theories (Gardner, 1999; Greene, 1995; Knowles, 1975; Lawrence, 2005; & Vygotsky, 1978) are connected to support this philosophical approach to adult learning. Creative application examples are shared featuring changes in women's education and subsequently their lives such as, a project guided by artist, Vic Muniz (Walker, Jardim, Harley, & Muniz, 2010) and an arts-based education program that changed the lives of incarcerated women in one female correctional facility (Mullen, 1999). The goal of this paper is to provide examples of how creativity and arts-based learning can be integrated within adult education promoting social justice and human rights.

Effective Use

Conflicts between peers are inevitable in schools, and schools must be equipped with strategies to assist students in avoiding conflicts and engaging in problem-solving when conflicts occur. Restorative practices and other conflict resolution interventions such as peer mediation are gaining popularity, particularly as an alternate framework to the overutilization of disciplinary punishment with ethnic minoritized students. This chapter discusses the effective use of restorative practices and conflict resolution interventions, with an emphasis on establishing these types of practices in schools using best practices. Particular attention is paid to the role of restorative practices in a social justice approach to serving students and families in schools.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to assess the upholding of Pancasila values in suppressing radicalism. At present,  there is no firmness in the values of Pancasila in the life of the nation and state. The implementation of Pancasila values in the society, community, state, and national life is a must because Pancasila is the ideology and the way of life of the nation. Pancasila values are always relevant as a guidelines and guidance for policymakers and problem-solving in the life of the nation and state affairs. However, at this time the implementation of the values of Pancasila in people's lives is increasingly eroded due to the lack of public understanding of the meaning and meaning of the values of Pancasila which have the belief in the Almighty, Fair and Civilized Humanity and Social Justice. The lack of public understanding of the values of Pancasila has resulted in acts of violence, injustice, harassment, ill-treatment, and other radical acts. Therefore the need for special action from the government to provide socialization of the values of the Pancasila so that people can better understand the meaning of the values of the Pancasila to create a harmonious, peaceful and peaceful life.Keywords: Pancasila; radicalism; violenceAbstrakTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai penegakkan nilai-nilai Pancasila dalam menekan tindakan radikalisme. Saat ini tidak terlihat ketegasan dalam penerapan nilai-nilai pancasila dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, bernegara dan berbangsa penerapan pancasila merupakan suatu keharusan karena merupakan cita-cita bangsa. Nilai-nilai pancasila selalu relevan dalam fungsinya memberikan pedoman bagi pengambil kebijaksanaan dan pemecahan masalah dalam kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara karena pancasila bersifat sebagai ideologi terbuka. Akan tetapi pada pada saat ini implementasi nilai-nilai Pancasila dalam kehidupan masyarakat semakin terkikis karena minimnya pemahaman masyarakat tentang makna dan arti dari nilai-nilai pancasila yang berketuhanan Yang Maha Esa, Kemanusiaan Adil dan Beradab dan Keadilan Sosial. Minimnya pemahaman masyarakat tentang nilai-nilai Pancasila banyak mengakibatkan terjadinya tindakan kekerasan, ketidakadilan, pelecehan, penganiayaan dan tindakan radikal yang menjadikan agama sebagai alasan untuk melakukan tindakan kekerasan. Oleh karena itu perlunya dilakukan tindakan khusus dari pemerintah untuk memberikan penekanan dan sosialisasi nilai-nilai Pancasila agar masyarakat bisa lebih memahami arti dari nilai-nilai Pancasila tersebu serta dapat terciptanya kehidupan yang rukun, damai dan tentram.Kata kunci: Pancasila; kekerasan; radikalisme

This chapter addresses how the field of engineering has the potential of being a major force for social justice and how that may be accomplished. With their placement in a wide-range of occupations and job sites and with engineering professionals from many diverse countries, engineers are strategically located for societal impact. Engineers are naturally suited for problem solving and this propensity can be awakened to issues broader than those advanced by an employer or client. Educators can help engineers to think critically about how to think in socially just ways and how solutions will affect people. This chapter demonstrates how educational and training programs may be built around the understanding of the engineering profession and of the use of innovative instructional strategies that inspire and excite an engineer during the learning process. This chapter includes examples of instructional modules that may be used to accomplish these goals.

The Relationship

The US National Academy of Engineering’s 2008 report, Grand Challenges for Engineering, puts forward a provocative vision of future civilization and engineering’s role in it. Notably, the report signals a trend in engineering toward more explicit and direct engagement with enduring, complex social problems, offering intriguing opportunities for exploring the relationship between engineering and questions of social justice. This paper makes one such exploration by analyzing the report’s explicit framings of engineering-for-social-problem-solving and the implicit assumptions underlying such framings. It shows how the report frames the non-technical factors as external to—and often barriers for—engineering. In contrast, technical challenges, even immense ones, are framed as wholly within engineering’s dominion and as opportunities for both engineering and human civilization as a whole. The paper argues that Grand Challenges signals contemporary tensions in the profession as it seeks an expansive domain of influence and relevance while at the same time narrowly circumscribing what engineers should be accountable for knowing and doing.
