Justice and Obligation: Building on the Capability Approach

Lebow, Ellen 01 January 2012 (has links)
Sen and Nussbaum generate very different degrees of obligation for the affluent under their theories of justice, despite each of them deriving their theory of justice from capability as a metric for quality of life. On one hand, Sen’s account of obligation seems very weak, while Nussbaum’s seems overwhelmingly robust. I argue that the sufficient/decisivereasons framework as put forth by philosopher Derek Parfit captures the nuances of their extremely different accounts of obligation. Further, I argue that this framework convincingly demonstrates that the accounts of obligation that Sen and Nussbaum offer in each of their versions of the capability approach are unsatisfying, as each approach occupies such extremes that they are unreasonable. In spite of this, supplementing the capability approach with a different and perhaps more centrist account of obligation can make the capability approach a more consistent and appealing theory of justice. To this end, I appropriate Thomas Pogge’s account of obligation.

Effekten av specialpedagogiskt stöd och senare resultat i grundskolan : en pilotstudie

Westin, Eva January 2012 (has links)
A pilot-study was used to investigate, types of assistance, assessed needs, outcomes and effects of special-needs assistance given to a subsample of compulsory school pupils in an effort to develop an evaluation strategy for identifying educational impacts of specific special-needs inputs.  Preliminary results indicate a tendency for postive outcomes for most pupils in the pilot group (n = 11) but also that many pupils have residual difficulties.  Pupils with residual difficulties mostly required special education asssitance with Maths, English or Swedish.  More pupils also needed support with behavioral difficulties.  More research and an expanding knowledge base is required in order to effectively evaluate outcomes of teacher support.  Schools need help in devising different methods of assistance and particularly for pupils with behavioral difficulties.

L'influence intellectuelle en économie : le cas d'Adam Smith et d'Amartya Sen

Planeta, Magdalena January 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Le mémoire porte sur deux économistes, Adam Smith et Amartya Sen. L'introduction présente la motivation à vouloir aborder ces économistes qui sont pourtant en apparence fondamentalement différents. Une des raisons est que Sen peut être considéré comme un des nombreux interprètes de l'oeuvre de Smith. Par contre, l'interprétation qu'il en fait est très différente de celles qui sont communément admises. Pourquoi Sen présente-t-il une vision de Smith comme un économiste pour qui les considérations éthiques étaient tout aussi importantes que les considérations plus techniques rattachées à l'économie? Le mémoire commence par tracer un bref récit de la vie de Smith, de son oeuvre et de la conjoncture historique de ses écrits. Ces éléments nous facilitent la compréhension de plusieurs interprétations de l'oeuvre de Smith ainsi que du contexte dans lequel elles ont été développées. Comme l'interprétation de Smith par Sen sort des sentiers battus, le mémoire tente d'identifier les influences intellectuelles qui auraient pu façonner la pensée de Sen de façon à ce qu'il analyse les propos de Smith d'une manière plus riche et plus nuancée. Ces influences sont présentées sous la forme de cinq pierres angulaires. La première remonte à son enfance alors que la dernière se situe au moment où Sen entreprend de s'attaquer à une vision trop restreinte de la pensée de Smith. Ces cinq pierres angulaires s'insèrent dans le récit biographique de la vie de Sen. L'apport de Sen à la nouvelle compréhension de Smith est aussi abordé. La conclusion du mémoire s'ouvre sur une réflexion sur l'importance des influences intellectuelles. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Adam Smith, Amartya Sen, Économie, Éthique, Influence intellectuelle.

The Proper Metric of Justice in Justice as Fairness

Carmichael, Charles Benjamin 08 May 2009 (has links)
I explore the problem of using primary goods as the index for determining the least-advantaged members in a society in Rawls’s theory of justice. I look at the problems presented to Rawls by Amartya Sen and his capabilities approach. I discuss the solutions to Sen’s problems given by Norman Daniels, who argues that primary goods are able to take capabilities into account. Finally, I supplement Daniels, arguing that the parameters Rawls uses to define his theory limit Sen’s objection and that primary goods are the appropriate metric of justice in Rawls’s theory.

A Study of the Application of Triangular Marketing Strategies of Service Industry to Market Universities¡GA Case Study of National Sun Yat-Sen University,Taiwan

Chiu, Yu-Ting 24 July 2007 (has links)
The purposes of this study, taking National Sun Yat-Sen University¡]NSYSU¡^as an example, are to understand the current status of external marketing, internal marketing and interactive marketing endeavors and also to analyze the perceptive difference in different backgrounds of undergraduates of NSYSU. Based on the results of investigation, conclusions and recommendations has been generated, providing analytical design for higher education institutions and also act as a reference for future research. This study is taking place by the method of interviewing and questionnaire survey. In the section of interviews, a generalized interview summary has been written in the accordance of the documentary analysis. One representative person is selected from among the groups of marketing affairs in National Sun Yat-Sen University, five persons in total and a semi-structured interview method has been adopted. As for the questionnaire survey, based upon the paradigm questionnaires by Wang I-Ting, Lee Chun-Ling, Cheng Jane-Pei et al., a questionnaire was revised from several paradigms by the researcher and named ¡§Questionnaire of National Sun Yat-Sen University Marketing Strategies¡¨, and were delivered to 600 undergraduates of NSYSU with 497 copies returned valid. The results and information collected from the questionnaire were analyzed and compared by statistical methods of item analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, mean, standard deviation, t test, one-way ANOVA. After integrating the results both from interviews and questionnaire survey, some conclusions have been reach and several recommendations were raised by the researcher. The conclusions of this research are as follows¡G 1. The current external marketing level of¡@NSYSU is right in the middle level, with perception of ¡§place strategy¡¨ being the highest among students, but the perception experience with ¡§all marketing strategy¡¨ is lowest. 2. The current internal marketing strategy of NSYSU are ¡§refresher course training ¡¨, ¡§participation and authorization¡¨, ¡§positive encourage¡¨, ¡§high-grade environment¡¨ and ¡§congregate the communication¡¨. 3. The current interview marketing level of¡@NSYSU is slightly low, with perception of ¡§service capacity strategy¡¨ being the highest among students, but the perception experience with ¡§service enthusiasm strategy¡¨ is lowest. 4. The senior students have better awareness of school external marketing strategies. 5. The senior students and girl students have better awareness of school interviewing marketing strategies . According the results as stated above, the researcher advances the suggestions for ¡§National Sun Yat-Sen University¡¨, and ¡§Related Research in the Future¡¨, hoping that they can be of referential value as far as related research and practice are concerned.

The Concept of Human Development: A Comparative Study of Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum

Maboloc, Christopher Ryan January 2008 (has links)
<p>This thesis is an examination of the concept of human development and does a comparative study of Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum. Sen rectifies the emphasis on income by welfare economics, and argues for the ‘equality of capability’; a goal that he says can be achieved by means of the intrinsic and instrumental role of democracy. However, the author notes that Sen’s development paradigm is inadequate as an account for what constitutes the kind of well-being that is fully human and asserts that Sen’s framework should be concretized politically. In view of this, the author argues that Nussbaum’s articulation of a ‘threshold of capabilities’, anchored on her reading Aristotle’s concept of human flourishing and Marx’s insight on human dignity, is a politically realistic human development framework. Nussbaum thinks that the essential human capabilities are entitlements that must be constitutionally guaranteed to ensure a decent and dignified human life for all. As a response to the reality of pluralism, Nussbaum says that the universality of these entitlements can be secured by means of an overlapping consensus. Furthermore, the extreme poverty in many nations which exposes women and children to much vulnerability has provoked the author to inquire about the applicability of Nussbaum’s framework to the global arena. As such, the thesis argues for the radical expansion of the Human Development Index used by the United Nations Development Program in measuring the quality of human life, notably the inclusion of political liberties and gender equality. In addition to this, the study puts forward the argument that global human development is best achieved through democracy, and asserts that global institutions have a moral duty to protect and promote the central human capabilities.</p>

Politique de transports et accès à la ville pour tous ? Une méthode d'évaluation appliquée à l'agglomération lyonnaise

Caubel, David 31 March 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Les outils d'évaluation, utilisés en France pour éclairer les décideurs sur les politiques de transports en milieu urbain, n'intègrent pas pleinement la dimension sociale de ces politiques. Or, cet enjeu devient primordial. En s'appuyant sur l'approche théorique de Amartya Sen, l'objectif de notre thèse est de construire une méthode d'évaluation permettant de rendre compte de cette dimension, en termes d'égalité des chances d'accès aux activités de reproduction sociale. Pour ce faire, nous construisons un outil identifiant, au niveau infra-communal, les groupes sociaux et les quartiers riches ou pauvres de l'espace urbain. Puis, nous construisons un indicateur d'accessibilité à un panier de biens. Cet indicateur mesure, pour un mode de déplacement donné, pour chaque service du panier de biens et depuis le lieu de résidence, le temps maximal d'accès au nombre d'activités pour 1 000 habitants. Cet indicateur prend en compte les différents sous-systèmes de l'espace urbain.<br /><br />La méthode est déclinée sur l'agglomération lyonnaise. Nous montrons, tout d'abord, l'existence entre les individus et entre les quartiers d'inégalité de chances d'accès au panier de biens en 1999. Ces inégalités procèdent principalement d'un inégal accès à l'automobile (trois fois plus performante que les transports collectifs en termes de temps d'accès au panier de biens), mais aussi de la répartition hétérogène des activités et de la qualité de l'offre en transports collectifs. L'évolution de la localisation des activités entre 1990 et 1999 met en évidence une aggravation des inégalités d'accès entre les quartiers pauvres et les quartiers riches. Tout se passe comme si les populations aisées façonnaient la division fonctionnelle du sol et la localisation des activités, au détriment des populations les plus fragiles. Nous montrons enfin qu'une amélioration forte de l'offre en transports collectifs a des impacts limités qui souvent peinent à compenser les pertes d'accessibilité dues à l'évolution de la localisation des activités.

Inkluderande undervisning - hur når vi dit? : En systematisk litteraturstudie om inkludering ur ett specialpedagogiskt perspektiv

Juel, David January 2013 (has links)
Denna systematiska litteraturstudie behandlar ämnet inkludering inom specialpedagogiken. Såväl svenska som internationella forskares syn på inkludering och vägen dit. Studien utreder begreppen kategorisering och inkludering. Syftet med undersökningen var att identifiera ett par möjligheter som gynnar inkludering och ett inkluderande arbetssätt som kan användas i den svenska skolan.  Metoden som användes var en systematisk litteraturstudie med relevant forskning som källor.  Resultaten pekade på tre möjligheter som kan bidra till inkludering, delaktighet och deltagande, tid och lärarens kunskaper och attityder till ett inkluderande arbetssätt. Resultatet diskuteras sedan under diskussionskapitlet och slutsatser dras.
