Previous issue date: 2008-03-30 / Esta dissertação discute a diversidade dos discursos feministas sobre a maternidade, tomando como objetos as obras: de Simone de Beauvoir, O Segundo sexo ([1949] 1980), de Shulamith Firestone, A Dialética do Sexo: Um Estudo da Revolução Feminista ([1970] 1976) e de Nancy Chodorow, Psicanálise da Maternidade: Uma Crítica a Freud a Partir Da Mulher ([1978] 2002) sendo, estas duas últimas, representativas do movimento feminista radical dos anos 1960 e 1970. Entendendo a maternidade como um fenômeno plasmado nas relações sociais e partindo do pressuposto de que os papéis sociais de mulheres e homens são construídos, discursivamente, em situações de poder desigual, destaca a importância histórica dos discursos médico e religioso na fusão da identidade da mulher com a função materna, configurada na formação da família burguesa ocidental e seus desdobramentos atuais. As leituras realizadas pelas referidas autoras desse desenvolvimento histórico e as críticas às análises que dele fizeram a teoria marxista e a psicanálise contribuíram para a formação dos conceitos de gênero, trazendo aportes para as discussões que desnaturalizaram as categorias sexo, feminilidade, e sexualidade. A contextualização do pensamento feminista da Segunda Onda mostrou suas articulações com os movimentos sociais seus contemporâneos, notadamente, o movimento negro pelos direitos civis. / Salvador

Trends and Changes of Precipitation in Costa RicaRojas, Christopher 01 January 2016 (has links)
Measuring and using precipitation data in Costa Rica is a necessary subject matter when one carries out an experiment in this area, whether it be directly related to rainfall or the effects of it on ecosystems. Using geographical information systems (GIS), precipitation maps of Costa Rica were used and digitized to acquire data on where and in what regions precipitation was commonly found. With this information, we were able to track the dry and wet seasons throughout Costa Rica and determine where the precipitation is more likely to occur during certain times of the year. Additionally, trends between longitude, latitude, and elevation were sought in the areas around the Firestone Center for Restoration Ecology. The results found a huge difference of precipitation between August – October and January – March, as well as trends demonstrating a strong linear relationship between latitude and precipitation. Trends between elevation and longitude showed much weaker linear relationships.

Selecting an appropriate process for the formulating of an operations strategy for Bridgestone/Firestone, Port Elizabeth plant, in a changed market environmentJeena, Umesh January 2002 (has links)
The research problem addressed in this study was aimed in assisting the management of Bridgestone/Firestone, Port Elizabeth plant, in selecting an appropriate process for the formulation of an operations strategy. The author embarked on a literature survey to gain understanding of the challenges that are occurring in the market environment. The theories and techniques around operational strategies were extensively researched in an effort to effectively and efficiently assist the management of Firestone in achieving a competitive advantage over rival competitors. Other areas of focus include the content, development, principles and concepts in developing an operations strategy. The author details the process of the formulation of an operations strategy as well as the discussion of four models/procedures deployed in organisations that would enhance strategy formulation. It is evident from the findings of the empirical study that a high percentage of the respondents “agree” that the strategy deployed within Bridgestone/Firestone, Port Elizabeth plant is appropriate, yet an alarmingly high percentage believe it to be “ineffective.

A content analysis of the pre-recall, recall, and post-recall coverage of the Ford Motor Co. and Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. tire crisis in the Wall Street journal and the Washington postThompson, Nicole Elain January 2006 (has links)
To minimize devastation and maximize opportunities provided during a corporate crisis, public relations professionals should collaborate with lawyers on crisis response strategies. The purpose of this study was to examine coverage of the Ford Motor Co. and Bridgestone/ Firestone, Inc. tire recall from May 2000 through May 2001 to determine whether there was a difference between the strategies used by each company and whether Ford Motor Co. and Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. used more traditional public relations than traditional legal strategies during each crisis stage.A content analysis was conducted of articles covering the crisis from The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post containing sentences attributed to each company's spokespeople. The search yielded 234 usable articles with 2,192 sentences.Coders identified strategies as traditional public relations, traditional legal, mixed, diversionary, or other. A chi-square was used to test the hypotheses.The first hypothesis, which said there would be no significant difference between strategies used by each company, was rejected. The second and third hypotheses, which said Ford Motor Co. and Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. used significantly more traditional public relations than traditional legal strategies during each time period, were accepted. / Department of Journalism

La révolution féministe contemporaine d'après Alison JaggarLanctot, Denis R. 02 March 2021 (has links)
Dans Feminist Politics and Human Nature, publié en 1983, la philosophe américaine Alison Jaggar expose les idéologies des féminismes libéral, marxiste, radical, et socialiste, en fait l’épistémologie, et conclut que le féminisme socialiste est celui qui convient le mieux à la participation' de la femme au renouvellement social. Par ailleurs, les féministes de toutes les tendances proposent des transformations qui, pour la plupart, sont nettement révolutionnaires, d’où le titre de ce mémoire, «La révolution féministe», qui résume, dans les grandes lignes, les thèmes exploités par cette auteure.

Embryo Adoption: Implications of Personhood, Marriage, and ParenthoodMcMillen, Brooke Marie 14 April 2008 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / One’s personal claims regarding personhood will influence his moral belief regarding embryo adoption. In Chapter One, I consider the personhood of the human embryo. If the human embryo is a person, we are morally obligated to permit the practice of embryo adoption as an ethical means to save human persons. However, for those who do not claim that an embryo is a person at conception, embryo adoption is not a necessary practice because we have no moral obligation to protect them. There are still others who claim that personhood is gained at some point during gestation when certain mental capacities develop. I offer my own claim that consciousness and sentience as well as the potential to be self-conscious mark the beginning of personhood.
Embryo adoption raises several questions surrounding the institution of marriage. Due to its untraditional method of procreation, embryo adoption calls into question the role of procreation within marriage. In Chapter Two, I explore the nature of the marriage relationship by offering Lisa Cahill’s definition of marriage which involves both a spiritual and physical dimension, and then I describe the concept of marriage from different perspectives including a social, religious, and a personal perspective. From a personal perspective, I explore the relationship between marriage and friendship. Finally, I describe how the concept of marriage is understood today and explore the advantages to being married as opposed to the advantages of being single.
Embryo adoption changes the way we customarily think about procreation within a family because in embryo adoption, couples are seeking an embryo from another union to be implanted into the woman. This prompts some philosophers to argue that embryo adoption violates the marriage relationship. In Chapter Three, I further consider the impact of embryo adoption on the family as an extension of the marital relationship as well as the impact of embryo adoption on the traditional roles of motherhood and fatherhood. I examine motherhood by looking at how some philosophers define motherhood and when these philosophers claim a woman becomes a mother. After considering these issues regarding motherhood, I examine the same issues surrounding fatherhood.
