Etiquette in Society, In Business, In Politics, and at Home
by Emily PostThe original guide to good manners explains why “nothing is less important than which fork you use.”Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor. A popular phenomenon when it was first published in 1922, Emily Post’s Etiquette quickly established her as the undisputed authority on considerate behavior. Her books, syndicated column, and radio program soon made the phrase “according to Emily Post” part of the American lexicon. Though updated editions have appeared over the years, the original text is both a fascinating window into American high society at the dawn of the Roaring Twenties and a timeless testament to the value of social grace. Covering a broad range of topics, Etiquette includes chapters on “Tea and Other Afternoon Parties,” “Balls and Dances,” “Etiquette in Business and Politics,” and “Travelling at Home and Abroad.” This edition also includes an introduction by editor Richard Duffy as well as photographic illustrations throughout. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Ética del despiadado
by Adriana RoyoEste libro se dirige a todos aquellos que estén cansados de ser demasiado serviciales y demasiado complacientes por miedo a que los abandonen. A aquellos que evitan el conflicto por miedo al rechazo. El miedo al conflicto apoltrona, estanca y empobrece, por ello oprimimos y encorsetamos nuestra personalidad para agradar y que no nos castiguen. Tememos nuestra propia rabia, aceptamos la sumisión, mendigamos amor y creamos relaciones de poder en las que somos o dominantes o sumisos. Normalizamos, permitimos y pasamos por alto los abusos de baja intensidad. Creemos que ser buenos consiste en no expresar el enfado. Adriana Royo despliega, con un certero análisis y de manera crítica, los diversos mecanismos psicológicos del abuso, la manipulación, la culpa y la rabia, para que aprendamos a identificar y a protegernos de los distintos tipos de tiranos. Hace un recorrido por el ámbito familiar, así como por las relaciones de pareja y otros espacios sociales. En definitiva, este libro nos ayudará a rebelarnos, a amar con una rabia digna y así hacernos respetar.

The Ethics of Silence
by Nancy Billias Sivaram VemuriThis volume is an interdisciplinary exploration of the modalities, meanings, and practices of silence in contemporary social discourse. How is silence treated in different cultures? In a globalized world, how is silence managed between and across cultures? Co-authored by a philosopher and an economist, the text draws on interviews with scholars and practitioners in fields as diverse as marine biology and African American history. International case studies are presented in operational contexts from the Black Lives Matter movement to the creation of art installations to the struggles of transgender people in Southeast Asia. The authors examine the relationship between ethics and silence, and suggest strategies to transform social praxis through greater attention to silence.
Ethics, Meaning, and Market Society (Routledge Focus on Business and Management)
by Laszlo ZsolnaiThis book explores the underlying causes of the pervasive dominance of ‘unethics’ in contemporary affairs in economics, business, and society. It is argued that the state of unethics is related to the overexpansion of market and market values in all spheres of social life and human activities. A correlate of this development is the emergence of an extremely individualistic, materialistic and narcissistic mind-set that dictates the decisions and behavior of people and organizations. The author argues that art can help to overcome the dominant market metaphysics of our age, as genuine art creates models of 'poetic dwelling,' which can generate non-linear, progressive change that opens up a larger playing field for ethics. Aesthetics and ethics go hand in hand. Ethical action is not just right for its own sake, but makes the world a richer, livable and more beautiful place. Ethics, Meaning, and Market Society will be of interest to students at an advanced level, academics, researchers and professionals. It addresses the topics with regard to ethics in economics, business, and society in a contemporary context.

Ethical Wisdom: What Makes Us Good
by Mark MatousekSince the days of the first primitive tribes, we have tried to determine why one man is good and another evil. Mark Matousek arrives at the answer in Ethical Wisdom.Contrary to what we've been taught in our reason-obsessed culture, emotions are the bedrock of ethical life; without them, human beings cannot be empathic, moral, or good.But how do we make the judgment call between self-interest and caring for others? What does being good really mean? Which parts of morality are biological, which ethical? When should instinct be trusted and when does it lead us into trouble? How can we know ourselves to be good amidst the hypocrisy, fears, and sabotaging appetites that pervade our two-sided natures?Drawing on the latest scientific research and interviews with social scientists, spiritual leaders, ex-cons, altruists, and philosophers, Matousek examines morality from a scientific, sociological, and anthropological standpoint. Each chapter features a series of questions, readings, interviews, parables, and anecdotes that zoom in on a particular niche of moral inquiry, making this book both utilitarian and fun.Ethical Wisdom is an insightful and important book for readers crisscrossing their own murky moral terrain.From the Hardcover edition.

Ethical Intelligence
