People’s Responsibility towards Organ Donation an Unanswered Appeal

People easily agree with the principle of organ donation; nevertheless, when a person dies, their relatives often refuse to honour this agreement. Because of this persistent social conduct, organ shortage is responsible for the rising mortality of patients on organ waiting lists. This sad reality continues despite the ongoing education effort with the enduring slogan: “Organ donation is a gift of life”.

“Seals of my ministry”

Before Oliver Hart’s arrival in Charleston, the Southern colonies had produced none of their own indigenous ministers, having always looked to the Northern colonies or to Great Britain to supply their pulpits. One of Hart’s most significant contributions was to address this need. He personally trained in his home many young Baptist men called to gospel ministry and led the Charleston Association to found the minister’s education fund, the first cooperative education effort by Baptists in America. Hart actively recruited young ministers from other regions to fill the empty pulpits of the South and counseled other novice pastors on a variety of issues in his extensive correspondence. This chapter uncovers the greatest crisis of Hart’s pastoral career, the near-usurpation of the Charleston Baptist pulpit by one of his own trainees, Nicholas Bedgegood. It also recounts the story of the conversion and ministerial call of one of Hart’s most significant protégés, Edmund Botsford.

Fundamentalism and Democracy: A Dynamic Perspective

<p>We analyse the dynamics of the distribution of democratic values in a population where<br />agents have heterogeneous preferences about democracy, distinguishing between<br />fundamentalist-antidemocratic agents and pro-democracy agents. Cultural traits and norms<br />are acquired through a process of intergenerational cultural transmission and socialization.<br />The driving force in the equilibrium selection process is the education effort exerted by<br />parents; this depends on the distribution of democratic values in the population and on<br />expectations about future policies affecting formal and informal institutions.<br />The main result is that when fundamentalism is sufficiently diffused in all institutional<br />dimensions of social life, the imposition of formal democratic rules do not significantly affect<br />social preferences. On the other hand the model shows how a cruel fundamentalist<br />dictatorship cannot wholly destroy democratic preferences in the population; the sole result is<br />a fictitious homologation of manifested attitudes, with no preferences dynamics and the<br />previous real attitudes immediately emerging as soon as dictatorship falls.</p>
