Vaccines: Are they Worth a Shot?
by Andrea Grignolio Joan RundoThe dangerous decline in vaccinations in many developed countries is at the heart of a lively debate that confirms how important the subject is today. Vaccinations are among mankind’s most important scientific discoveries, yet they continue to be viewed with suspicion by part of the public – the victims of disinformation campaigns, instrumentalization and unfounded fears. There is, however, also an evolutionary explanation for these irrational beliefs, and countering the growing social opposition will be extremely difficult without grasping it. This book, which sheds new light on the safety and importance of vaccinations, is intended both for parents and those readers who want to understand the role of vaccinations in contemporary society, where the ease of access to knowledge is both a great opportunity and a great responsibility. The chapters follow a historical progression and conclude with a discussion of the most recent cognitive theories on how to overcome this opposition to vaccinations.

The Value and Limits of Academic Speech: Philosophical, Political, and Legal Perspectives (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy)
by Donald Alexander Downs Chris W. SurprenantFree speech has been a historically volatile issue in higher education. In recent years, however, there has been a surge of progressive censorship on campus. This wave of censorship has been characterized by the explosive growth of such policies as "trigger warnings" for course materials; "safe spaces" where students are protected from speech they consider harmful or distressing; "micro-aggression" policies that often strongly discourage the use of words that might offend sensitive individuals; new "bias-reporting" programs that consist of different degrees of campus surveillance; the "dis-invitation" of a growing list of speakers, including many in the mainstream of American politics and values; and the prominent "shouting down" or disruption of speakers deemed inconsistent with progressive ideology. Not to be outdone, external forces on the right are now engaging in social media bullying of speakers and teachers whose views upset them. The essays in this collection, written by prominent philosophers, political scientists, sociologists, and legal scholars, examine the issues at the forefront of the crisis of free speech in higher education. The contributors address the broader historical, cultural, legal, and normative contexts of the current crisis, and take care to analyze the role of "due process" in protecting academic freedom and individuals accused of misconduct. Additionally, the volume is unique in that it advances practical remedies to campus censorship, as the editors and many of the contributors have participated in movements to remedy limitations on free speech and open inquiry. The Value and Limits of Academic Speech will educate academic professionals and informed citizens about the phenomenon of progressive censorship and its implications for higher education and the republic.
Value-Creating Global Citizenship Education: Engaging Gandhi, Makiguchi, And Ikeda As Examples (Palgrave Studies In Global Citizenship Education And Democracy Ser.)
by Namrata SharmaThis book fills an existing gap within the practice of global citizenship education by offering Asian perspectives. In this book, Soka or value-creating education developed by the Japanese educators, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944) and Daisaku Ikeda (b. 1928) is compared to the ideas of the Indian political leader Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948). This study of their respective thoughts and movements has a significant bearing on the three domains of learning within the global citizenship education conceptual dimensions of UNESCO – the cognitive, socio-emotional, and behavioral. This book deftly combines theoretical discussions with themes and suggestions for practice and future research.
Value Creation through Executive Development
by Solomon AkrofiThe ability of organisations to generate long-term value and growth depends to a very large extent on the capacity of the executive cohort to conceive and implement strategic initiatives through a well-motivated and enabled workforce. However, generating consistent value in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) and rapidly evolving digital economic landscape can be challenging and, therefore, executives need to update their capabilities regularly to align with the changing value drivers required for long-term growth. To achieve the expected value and growth at a more sustainable level, executive development must be managed as a strategic asset and optimised through effective design and implementation and the effects must be proactively evaluated through meaningful leading indicators and actual 'hard' measures. Value Creation through Executive Development, therefore, offers a well-supported and clearly structured approach to address the gap between executive development initiatives and the creation of long-term organisational value and growth. This book provides a valuable resource to executives and management development professionals who have experienced frustration about the lack of non-value-adding executive development programmes. It also serves as a professional resource for managers of executive and management development programmes, organisational development departments and organisational development consultants, allowing them to integrate this material into existing programmes to achieve value-centric outcomes and to achieve long-term performance targets. Additionally, it serves as a teaching resource for participants in executive/management development courses or seminars globally; offering them the capacity to conduct value-centric initiatives and gain the capacity to influence the tactical, operational and strategic dimensions of their organisational performance.
The Value of a Woman
by G. G. Vega Ana Vanessa Alves TorreBut, the man, he did not feel complete, he lacked something, but no, ... it was someone, he did not know, but God did. He was missing a girl, a woman, and it would be called EVA. There was a space in his new world, that nothing filled, created, living and non-living things were not enough. And God knew it. I did not know, I did not understand, I could not interpret his lack, that kind of emptiness within his time and space, his existence. But the Creator did know. He understood that he lacked a company, but not any company, he had to be the complement, that which would complete his existence, that which would allow him to enjoy life. Someone who filled his emptiness, his loneliness in the face of such abundance, someone who would give another meaning to his existence, and was not someone who would only accompany him, come to help him, to be a complement, to form a team.
Values Education in Early Childhood Settings: Concepts, Approaches And Practices (International Perspectives on Early Childhood Education and Development #23)
by Anna-Maija Puroila Anette Emilson Eva JohanssonThis book is about values education in early years settings and discusses theory and concepts, as well as methodological and empirical perspectives. It explores issues such as the kinds of values that are communicated between educators and children and the kind of future citizens we foster in early childhood settings. It illustrates by way of cases involving many participants, including children, educators, and researchers, who have their roots in diverse contexts, and reside in different parts of the world, including Australia, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Slovenia, and Sweden. The book carefully considers the contextualized character of the cases presented, yet argues that the questions, theories, and methodologies emphasized do inform the international debate in manifold ways. Communication of values in a broad and diverse sense is central in any pedagogy, especially for the youngest children in the educational system. Still, values education has been neglected as a research field, in education in general and particularly in the early years. This book addresses this lack of knowledge by scrutinizing various questions about values education in ECEC settings.

Valuing Profoundly Disabled People: Fellowship, Community and Ties of Birth (Routledge Research in Special Educational Needs)
by John VorhausGrowing numbers of human beings live with profound and multiple learning difficulties and disabilities. Exploring the moral, social and political implications of this trend, Valuing Profoundly Disabled People addresses questions that are high on policy and practice agendas in numerous regions around the world, including the UK and the EU, the USA, and Australasia. In this important work Vorhaus examines fundamental moral and social questions about profound disability, and each chapter combines a comprehensive review of existing literature with thought-provoking and original philosophical arguments. Vorhaus argues that there is a pressing need to consider the moral and political claims of people whose lives are characterised by extensive impairments, dependency and vulnerability. The book prompts readers to reflect on complex issues relating to the practices of caring, teaching and treating people with profound disabilities in contexts such as education, health care and social policy. Providing a much-needed contribution to the field, this book will be of interest to postgraduates, academics and researchers in a number of distinct and interrelated fields, including disability and impairment, human rights, philosophy, sociology, health and social policy, and education. The book will also be of great interest to practitioners and policymakers seeking to promote the aims of realising human potential and respecting disability.

by Joseph de la Paz Sarah KiewegEin Ratgeber für vegane Eltern mit theoretischen und praktischen Tipps „Wenn du dein Baby in den Armen wiegst, hältst du buchstäblich die Zukunft der Menschheit in deinen Händen.“ Unsere Kinder gemäß unseren Werten zu erziehen sollte das Natürlichste und Einfachste der Welt sein.

Zwei Jahre voller Gespräche und Interviews mit veganen Eltern von überall auf der Welt, sowie die eigene Erfahrung als Vater zweier Töchter und Kindergarten-Pädagoge brachten den Autor dazu, dieses direkte, mit Information und Inspiration gefüllte Buch zu schreiben. Darin erfährst du: •Wie du das soziale Umfeld optimieren kannst, in dem dein Kind aufwächst •Wie du ganzheitlich, human und gemäß den Werten des Veganismus erziehst •Wie du die Werte der Gleichberechtigung von Tieren und des Respekts gegenüber dem Leben und der Freiheit vermittelst •Wie du den Zyklus durch Schaffung eines Bewusstseins über Ernährung und die Umwelt vervollständigst •Wie du deinen Kindern Veganismus und Speziesismus erklärst •Wie du tägliche Konflikte in der Schule, im Park oder im Haus der Großeltern löst •Wie du an den Umstieg auf Veganismu
Vencedores: Ocho maneras de vivir con una fuerza imparable, una fe inamovible y un poder increíble
by David JeremiahVivimos en un tiempo de profunda incertidumbre. Aun así, la Biblia promete que podemos vivir la vida de libertad que fue diseñada para nosotros, incluso en tiempos en los que el mundo que nos rodea parece lleno de oscuridad. Fuimos creados para ser vencedores, y para superar los mayores obstáculos de nuestras vidas.En su nuevo libro, el estimado profesor David Jeremiah dirige su entendimiento a uno de los pasajes más citados, pero menos comprendido de la Biblia: la recomendación del apóstol Pablo a los efesios de que tomen toda la armadura de Dios (Efesios 6:10-18). Con la profundidad de lo caracteriza, de su sabiduría y de su compasión, el Dr. Jeremiah analiza la poderosa importancia de la armadura espiritual como herramienta crítica en nuestra vida cotidiana, al confrontar los retos específicos de nuestras vidas y de nuestra época.Si ya estás harto de vivir en derrota, es hora de encontrar una fuerza renovada y reclamar las promesas de la palabra de Dios de vencer las mayores amenazas de la vida.
VentureGirls: Raising Girls to Be Tomorrow’s Leaders
by Cristal GlangchaiFrom an engineer and entrepreneur, a conversation-changing parenting book about how to engage young women in science, technology, engineering, and math, filled with practical advice for both parents and educators. As the female CEO of a tech startup, Dr. Cristal Glangchai was outnumbered twenty to one. At Google, Twitter, and Facebook, women currently fill just ten to twenty percent of technical jobs. While career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math have increased dramatically in the past twenty years, the achievement gap between men and women has only grown wider.In VentureGirls, Glangchai offers a unique solution based on her own experience as an engineer and entrepreneur as well as the founder of the VentureLab, an academy of entrepreneurship and technology for girls. Practical, accessible, and filled with success stories, VentureGirls argues that a key part of raising strong, confident young women is giving them the tools of entrepreneurship to engage in STEM. Entrepreneurship isn’t just about starting companies, Glangchai writes, it is a skillset and a way of thinking that is particularly useful in the fields of science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. Entrepreneurship involves identifying needs, brainstorming creative solutions, innovating, and taking calculated risks. In short, it’s about having a vision and making it a reality. The true value in learning and practicing entrepreneurship, Glangchai argues, lies in nurturing and growing an overall mindset—the ability to learn from failure and to work well with others to bring your ideas to life.Deeply informative, warm, and grounded in real-world experience, VentureGirls includes a plethora of activities and lessons that focus on strengthening kids’ ingenuity and resilience. VentureGirls is essential reading for anyone who wants to raise girls and young women who realize their strength, engage in the world, and feel empowered to make a positive impact.
