In general, these people live on the edge of the social rights, excluded from the job market, with low rates of schooling and absence of all kind of technical capacitation, besides, many times, they have compromised health conditions. That being the case, the activity of collecting recyclable garbage represents one way of social insertion. Then the garbage and the collection constitute, in the middle of their lives, in their relationships and emotions, suffering and happiness. The present work has as objective to investigate how the social inclusion-exclusion process is particularized in these collectors everyday life, since the beginning of their exclusion history, in the school and familiar ambit, until the current occupation; analyzes intet personal relations links and breakups, distress, feelings, affections, and also the relation health-disease as one of the revealing dimensions of suffering. The information obtained was registered in field diary and record, being the research made through participant observation and semi-structured interviews. In the participant observation, the researcher followed the collectors in their everyday job activities and in their category meetings. The data analysis reveals that the collectors history of life is all marked by the social exclusion,and the current occupation reallyis, itself, another suffering among others already felt in previous times. The most frequent emotions are shame and humiliation,which specially come from the discrimination and prejudice. On the other hand, being a collector can also be a source of joy. On one side, for an ethical reason, that is to the possibility of the person to regain his own dignity to insert himself and to be socially recognized as honest worker, distinct from beggars and thieves. On the other side, for having been given the opportunity of organizing and mobilizing themselves together in the battle for better conditions of work and life, translated in the insistence of the group to make nationally official this job as a profession or, even, in changes of the proper routine of collecting recyclable material, which can be less isolated, more organized, cleaner and profitable. Moreover, they reveal feeling happiness when this activity allows them to obtain items until then inaccessible,as, for example, electrical appliances found in the garbage sometimes. About the health issue, these collectors do not believe that the collecting work is a risk indeed. For them, health, risk is, above all, not having food on the table, not having a place to live, neither having clothes to dress. They affirm that physical diseases caused by the work in the garbage can be treated; for the hunger, there is not cure. We can conclude that being a collector, mainly if he is member of an organized group, is a possibility of life potentialization for those who saw themselves excluded from the job market and without options, damaged in what refers to schooling and technical preparation / O aumento do desemprego tem contribuído acentuadamente para o crescimento da ocupação de catadores de material reciclável nas ruas dos grandes e médios centros urbanos brasileiros. Essas pessoas vivem, em geral, à margem dos direitos sociais, excluídas do mercado de trabalho, com baixos índices de escolarização e ausência de capacitação técnica de todo tipo, além de, muitas vezes, terem condições de saúde comprometidas. Sendo assim, a atividade de catar lixo reciclável representa uma certa forma de inserção social. O lixo e a catação se constituem, então, no centro de suas vidas, em suas relações e emoções, sofrimento e alegria. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar como o processo de exclusão-inclusão social se particulariza no dia-a-dia desses catadores, desde o início de sua história de exclusão, nos âmbitos familiar e escolar, até a atual ocupação; analisa relações interpessoais (vínculos e rupturas), sofrimentos, sentidos, afetos e, também, a relação saúde-doença como uma das dimensões reveladoras de sofrimento. As informações obtidas foram registradas em diário de campo e gravador, tendo a pesquisa sido realizada por meio de observação participante e entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Na observação participante, a pesquisadora acompanhou os catadores em suas atividades cotidianas de trabalho e nos encontros da categoria. A análise dos dados revela que a história de vida dos catadores é toda marcada pela exclusão social, e a atual ocupação é, em si, na realidade, mais um sofrimento, dentre outros já sentidos em épocas anteriores. As emoções mais freqüentes são a vergonha e a humilhação, decorrentes sobretudo da discriminação e do preconceito. Em contrapartida, tomar-se catador pode ser também fonte de alegria. De um lado, por motivo ético, ou seja, pela possibilidade de o indivíduo recuperar a própria dignidade ao se inserir e ser reconhecido socialmente como trabalhador honesto, distinto de mendigos e de bandidos. De outro lado, por lhe dar a oportunidade de organizar-se e mobilizar-se coletivamente na luta por melhores condições de trabalho e de vida, traduzida na insistência do grupo em oficializar nacionalmente este trabalho como profissão ou, ainda, em mudanças na própria rotina da catação de material reciclável, que pode se tomar menos isolada, mais organizada, mais limpa e rentável. Além disso, revelam sentir alegria quando essa atividade lhes permite obter itens até então inacessíveis, como, por exemplo, eletrodomésticos achados às vezes no lixo. Sobre a questão da saúde, esses catadores não! acreditam que o trabalho de catação seja de fato um risco. Risco à saúde, para eles, é sobretudo não ter comida na mesa, não ter lugar para morar, nem roupa para vestir. Alegam que as doenças físicas provocadas pelo trabalho no lixo podem ser tratadas; já para a fome, não há cura. Conclui-se que tomar-se catador, principalmente se participante de um grupo organizado, é uma possibilidade de potencialização da vida para aquele que se via excluído do mercado de trabalho e sem opções, prejudicado no que se refere à escolaridade e à preparação técnica

It talks about the process of inclusion of the disabled people in the Job market in Mossor?-RN, bringing for the academic debate relevant thematic for the Brazilian society, for the profession of Social Service and similar areas and for the people with deficiency. It has the objective to apprehend the determiners that make possible the process of the disabled people's inclusion in the Job market in Mossor?, having as parameter the National Politics for the Integration of People Bearers of Deficiency. The critical theoretical perspective is backed in Marx's ideas for the understanding concerning the work, as well as in Pochamann, concerning the job market, regarding the exclusion/inclusion category is based in Martins, Yasbek and Sposati and on deficiency in the National Politics for the Integration of the Disabled People. The research is of qualitative nature and it took as subjects 26 (twenty-six) people, being 09 (nine) people with deficiency, inserted in the formal job and regulated market, and 17 (seventeen) managers of private companies and public institutions of the city of Mossor?-RN. For the collection of data we used techniques of nonsystemic observation, semi-structured interview and documental analysis. The results of the research mark that any modality of the human workforce used in the current context, they are functional to the capitalism and they move forward towards exploration, alienation and subordination of the work to the capital; the National Politics for the Integration of the People with Deficiency expresses and reproduces the contradictory dynamics of the class society, it reflects the neo liberal shades through the selectivity and of the articulation among the federated beings and organizations of the civil society for its operational system; there is a misproportion between the percentages of the quotas and the amount of people with deficiency inserted in the job market, just corresponding to a tiny numeric magnitude; the developed activities are of low social status and it is expressive the amount of workers that receives between one and two minimum wages. These data drive us to infer that the mentioned politics make possible, partly, the inclusion of the disabled people in the job market, though, such inclusion is executed in the selective or focused dimensions, marginal, precarious and unstable / Este trabalho foi desenvolvido no ?mbito do Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Servi?o Social da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Trata do processo de inclus?o de pessoas com defici?ncia no Mercado de Trabalho em Mossor?-RN, trazendo para o debate acad?mico tem?tica relevante para a sociedade brasileira, para a profiss?o de Servi?o Social e ?reas afins e para as pessoa com defici?ncia. Objetiva apreender os determinantes que viabilizam o processo de inclus?o das pessoas com defici?ncia no Mercado de Trabalho em Mossor?, tendo como par?metro a Pol?tica Nacional para a Integra??o de Pessoas Portadoras de Defici?ncia. A perspectiva te?rica cr?tica que perpassa este trabalho respalda-se nas id?ias de Marx para a compreens?o acerca do trabalho, bem como em Pochmann, Antunes acerca do mercado de trabalho, a respeito da categoria exclus?o/inclus?o fundamenta-se em Martins, Yasbek e Sposati e sobre defici?ncia na Pol?tica Nacional para a Integra??o das Pessoas Portadoras de Defici?ncia. A pesquisa ? de natureza qualitativa e tomou como sujeitos investigativos 26 (vinte e seis) pessoas, sendo 09 (nove) pessoas com defici?ncia, inseridas no mercado de trabalho formal e regulamentado, e 17 (dezessete) gestores de empresas privadas e institui??es p?blicas da cidade de Mossor?-RN. Para a coleta de dados utilizamos t?cnicas de observa??o assistem?tica, entrevista semi-estruturada e an?lise documental. Os resultados da pesquisa assinalam que sejam quais forem as modalidades de utiliza??o da for?a de trabalho humano no atual contexto, elas s?o preponderantemente funcionais ao capitalismo e avan?am em dire??o a explora??o, aliena??o e subordina??o do trabalho ao capital; a Pol?tica Nacional para a Integra??o das Pessoas com Defici?ncia expressa e reproduz a din?mica contradit?ria da sociedade de classe, reflete os matizes neoliberais atrav?s da seletividade e da articula??o entre os entes federados e organiza??es da sociedade civil para a sua operacionaliza??o; h? uma desproporcionalidade entre os percentuais das cotas e a quantidade de pessoas com defici?ncia inseridas no mercado de trabalho, correspondendo apenas a uma ?nfima magnitude num?rica; as atividades desenvolvidas s?o de baixo status social e ? expressiva a quantidade de trabalhadores que recebe entre um a dois sal?rios m?nimos. Estes dados conduzem-nos a inferir que a citada pol?tica viabiliza, em parte, a inclus?o das pessoas com defici?ncia no mercado de trabalho, uma vez que, tal inclus?o efetiva-se nas dimens?es seletiva ou focalizada, marginal, prec?ria e inst?vel

It purposes to identify and to analyze the demands brought by the holder onto the Social Service professional as well as the challenges the latter face to minister to the former. It privileges, from the methodological viewpoint, the qualitative and quantitative analysis with the application of questionnaires, direct observation, semi-structured interviews and bibliographic references. Data were collected from 12 (twelve) social assistants who work at Giselda Trigueiro Hospital in Natal (7) and Rafael Fernandes Hospital in Mossor? (5). The central hypothesis that guided this study is that the social inclusion/exclusion process experienced by the HIV/Aids positive on society implies a demand for the Social Service that is inserted in the public health context (specially in HIV-referred public hospitals), whose agents, however, when attempting to answer those demands, meet obstacles due to both the precariousness of public health services and the social complexity that concerns the HIV/Aids epidemic. Results point out that, de facto, the HIV/Aids epidemic, because of the social exclusion/inclusion process to which the holder is subject results a demand for the social agents at hospitals. Demands rise principally from the patient s life condition, considering the increasing pauperization in the epidemic context. As to what it is concerned, social assistants, responding to the needs, come across concrete twofold challenges: the illness in itself, for all social, negative aspects that make part of quotidian life of holders; and the precarious state of the public health service in RN State, since that working conditions are unsatisfactory / A pesquisa apresenta o trabalho desenvolvido pelo Servi?o Social com os portadores de HIV/AIDS exclu?dos socialmente, nos hospitais p?blicos do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (RN). Objetiva identificar e analisar as demandas postas pelo portador ao profissional do Servi?o Social e os desafios que os mesmos enfrentam para atend?-las. Privilegia, do ponto de vista metodol?gico, a abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, com aplica??o de question?rios, observa??o direta, entrevistas semi-estruturadas e leitura bibliogr?fica. A coleta dos dados foi realizada com doze (12) Assistentes Sociais que trabalham nos Hospitais: Giselda Trigueiro, em Natal (7) e Rafael Fernandes, em Mossor? (5). A hip?tese central que orientou a pesquisa ? que o processo de exclus?o/inclus?o social vivenciado pelo portador de HIV/AIDS na sociedade resulta em demanda profissional para o Servi?o Social inserido na ?rea da sa?de p?blica, especificamente, nos hospitais p?blicos de refer?ncia no atendimento ao portador; e que, ao responder ?s demandas os profissionais enfrentam desafios, em raz?o da precariedade dos servi?os de sa?de e da complexidade social que envolve a epidemia do HIV/AIDS. Os resultados apontam que, de fato, a epidemia do HIV/AIDS, em raz?o do processo de exclus?o/inclus?o social ao qual est? subjugado o portador na sociedade, resulta em demanda para o assistente social nos hospitais. Estas se acentuam principalmente pela condi??o de vida do usu?rio, por causa da crescente pauperiza??o no contexto da epidemia. Nesse sentido, o assistente social, na tentativa de responder a essa demanda, encontram desafios concretos de duas naturezas: a doen?a em si, por todos os aspectos sociais negativos que fazem parte do cotidiano dos portadores; e a situa??o de precariedade em que se encontra o servi?o de sa?de p?blica no Estado do RN, uma vez que as condi??es de trabalho s?o insatisfat?rias

In the workplace, there are times when discrimination is necessary due to extenuating circumstances that revolve around the form or act of discrimination. It could be conveyed to save a life or avoid future conflict. However, it must be clearly stated as a written law that the act is lawful. When unlawful discrimination occurs, it stages an entirely different tone, as it is mainly conducted out of malice, hatred, greed, control, or ignorance. Over the last few decades, discrimination has existed in the workplace, although Federal laws mandate that it does not occur. It does not exist in just one geographical area or is country specific, but covers a wide spectrum, linking countries together from their points of view to creating rifts amongst those who are affected and those who are not, not only from a business perspective, but social humanistic relationships as well. This thesis will use quantitative and qualitative data to support discrimination of sexual harassment, race or color, and gender issues, as well as personal experiences, and how it has and will continue to impact businesses if the acts do not cease, permanently. Leadership, from the Presidents and Heads of Countries, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), managers, lowest-ranking supervisor, and employees should make it their personal goal to ensure these issues do not continue or arise in their perspective areas of responsibilities. When employees understand that they are valued, will be taken seriously when reporting acts of discrimination, and that some form of action will be taken, performance and productivity will escalate, and morale will increase in the workplace, resulting in higher productivity and subsequently higher profit margins for the company.

This thesis develops a theory of international social closure to examine (i) the politics of membership in status groups – or, clubs – in international society and (ii) the persistence of clubs in international society. This thesis offers new concepts to improve the English School’s understanding of international society, its expansion, and its reproduction. In so doing it also addresses limitations and gaps in the IR status literature and the global governance and diplomacy literatures concerned with clubs and networks. This thesis analyses strategies of exclusion, entry, and incorporation used by actors to deny, attempt, or grant inclusion into clubs as well as the institutional contexts underpinning those clubs. Specifically, this research undertakes a study of instances of exclusion, entry, and incorporation in the context of three clubs: the Family of Civilised Nations, the Great Powers club, and G-summitry. In the first two cases, this research relies primarily on secondary sources while in the case of G-summitry it presents original empirical research gathered through archival research, interviews, and ethnographic participant observation. This thesis presents four main conclusions about the operation of closure: (i) the logics of different closure games are defined by overarching normative institutions of international society; (ii) despite a collectivist closure rule, closure in international society is predominantly individualistic; (iii) actors seeking entry tend to employ deferential entry strategies that reproduce a stratified status quo order; and (iv) incorporation promotes stratification along both functional and cultural lines. This thesis also draws three specific conclusions that run counter to much current scholarship: (i) contemporary international society is neither more open nor less hierarchical than nineteenth century international society; (ii) hierarchy is reproduced to a large degree by entry and incorporation strategies rather than exclusion strategies; and (iii) closure does not run along a ‘west versus the rest’ fault line.
