But what is the secret behind this passion? This article reviews the role and importance of diwaniyas. Diwaniyas in Kuwait hold a strong position in political, social and cultural life, the formation of ideas and discussions and sometimes decision-making accord- ing to the prevailing circumstances. I recalled the important role of diwaniyas while I was reading a statement of a new diplomat in Kuwait, in which he said he looks forward to visiting many Kuwaiti diwaniyas. I believe he will undoubtedly be welcomed. Kuwaiti hospitality is well known and diwaniyas are in fact cultural, social and political spaces to hear what Kuwaitis think and talk about daily. Also, Kuwaitis prefer to welcome visitors in diwaniyas. Visitors feel that they are welcome in their homes and this reflects the gen- erosity and the Arab sense of hospitality. Diwaniyas are the perfect place to share ideas and hold debates without fear or anxiety, as the diwaniya is KUWAIT: Aerial view of Al Shaheed Park and Tijaria Tower by Essam Gad. — KUNA excluded from the law of gatherings, and it is not required to take permission from the interior ministry regardless of the number of people who gather in one place. Also in recent years, Kuwaiti women have estab- lished their own diwaniyas in modern Kuwait, which is normal in light of the development of civil society. Why Kuwait’s schools need PTAs Diwaniyas have become more luxurious with modern furniture and décor, but what matters to most Kuwaitis is Scribbler’s Notebook work to schools.

After 43 years we are closing a chapter of our lives Tin a small country, a beautiful desert of mem- ories and joy. My parents arrived in 1975 as a young Pakistani American couple from Chicago with their first child. They settled on giving a little country called Kuwait a chance. My parents thought they would leave after a couple of years, but never imag- ined that the desert of warmth and love would become the place where they would live out the largest part of their lives, have three children and eventually retire. All my siblings attended the American School of Kuwait. We always had two identities: Pakistani and American with Kuwait being our home. Our lives were filled with school concerts, plays, track meets, international speech competitions and friendships from every corner of the world. We grew up eating Hungry Bunny, Pizza Inn, watching Growing Pains and making grocery runs to Sultan Center to indulge our KDD addictions. We witnessed the Yasmeen Mozaffar receiving an award for her years of work for kids with special needs in Kuwait and the music of the eighties on FM radio, the allowance of Pakistani Women’s Forum.

    VOLUME 19 NO. 3 NOVEMBER 2017 Dear EurSafe members, It is my great pleasure to present to you the third issue of 2017 EurSafe News- letter. Somewhat in accord with the themes of the upcoming EurSafe confer- ence in Vienna this summer, this edition of the newsletter engages questions in the intersection between theories and practitioners. Both the short paper and the book review revolve around the fact that communication, debate, Editorial public discussions and genuinely enganging opposing views are fundamental to type of applied theory that agricultural and environmental ethics is. In their paper The future of hunting in the context of the public discussions over the practice, Mateusz and Waldemar Tokarski describe the complexity of hunting as a practice reaching beyond the core act of killing. They argue for looking at and discussing hunting as a practice that involves forest manage- ment, agricultural management, improvements of ecosystems and a number of wildlife encounters beside the hunt itself. For them, hunting is ‘a practice [that] embodies its own values, linked especially to the construction of multi-spe- cies communities revolving around contact with the natural environment’ and the ethical dilemmas of hunting are best debated with this in mind.

  • Unjust Borders: Individuals and the Ethics of Immigration
    Unjust Borders: Individuals and the Ethics of Immigration Frontmatter Unjust Borders: Individuals and the Ethics of Immigration States restrict immigration on a massive scale. Governments fortify their borders with walls and fences, authorize border patrols, imprison migrants in detention centers, and deport large numbers of foreigners. Unjust Borders: Individuals and the Ethics of Immigration argues that immigration restrictions are systematically unjust and examines how individual actors should respond to this injustice. Javier Hidalgo maintains that individuals can rightfully resist immigration restrictions and often have strong moral reasons to subvert these laws. This book makes the case that unauthorized migrants can permissibly evade, deceive, and use defensive force against immigration agents, that smugglers can aid migrants in crossing borders, and that citizens should disobey laws that compel them to harm immigrants. Unjust Borders is a meditation on how individuals should act in the midst of pervasive injustice. Biography: Javier Hidalgo is an Associate Professor of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond. His work has appeared in venues such as The Journal of Political Philosophy, The Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy and The Journal of Moral Philosophy. 1 Dedication For my parents. 2 Table of Contents: Introduction 0.1 A Story 0.2 From Public Policy to the Individual Ethics of Immigration 0.3 A Comment on Moral Methodology 0.4 Terminology 0.5 An Outline of the Book Chapter 1: The Case Against Exclusion 1.1

  • 43º Encontro Anual Da Anpocs
    43º ENCONTRO ANUAL DA ANPOCS ST40 SOCIEDADE E VIDA ECONÔMICA MUITO ALÉM DA CARNE: as práticas alimentares dos restaurantes e consumidores veganos de Porto Alegre Autores: Maycon Noremberg Schubert (UFRGS) Paulo André Niederle (UFRGS) INTRODUÇÃO As mudanças climáticas estão no centro dos debates mais tensos atualmente, tanto no âmbito dos Estados, com iniciativas de austeridade fiscal, intensificação na exploração de recursos naturais, soberania nacional e acordos internacionais, etc (SHUTTE, 2014; ALMEIDA, 2019), quanto no âmbito da sociedade civil, mudanças nos hábitos de consumo, engajamento político em movimento sociais e coletivos, etc (COLOMÉ, 2018; CARLSSON-KANYAMA e GONZÁLEZ, 2009), assim como nos mercados, startups, fusões e incorporações, inovação, e processos de industrialização mais intensos, etc (GERHARD, et all, 2019; SCHUBERT e TAVARES, 2019). Transversalmente a todo esse debate está presente o modo e a forma com que as sociedades se alimentam, produzem, beneficiam, transportam, comercializam, preparam e descartam os alimentos. Segundo relatório da FAO (2013), a produção alimentar é responsável por cerca de 19-29%, provocada pela indução humana, da emissão de Gases de Efeito Estufa (GEE), 60% da perda de biodiversidade da terra, 70% do uso de água. A criação de animais é quem carrega esse maior ‘fardo’, sendo responsável por cerca de 14,4% dos GEE’s (FAO, 2013a). Porém, há distinção em relação aos diferentes tipos (Suínos, Frango, Bubalinos, Pequenos Ruminantes e Outras aves), sendo a produção de leite e carnes, de origem bovina, os maiores causadores desse impacto, representando 65% do total de emissão de GEE’s, referente à criação de animais (FAO, 2013a). Essa relação, entre as mudanças climáticas e a o padrão atual do sistema agroalimentar, é sinérgica, ou seja, uma ‘espiral’ autodestrutiva (FAO, 2015), cujos custos já representam um prejuízo no PIB mundial em torno de 5-10% (SWINBURN, et all., 2019).

  • Animals in the Society of Humans: Privileged and Enslaved
    Animals in the Society of Humans: Privileged and Enslaved Tereza Vandrovcová Our current society has a very ambivalent relationship with other species. On the one hand, more and more people are known to be animal lovers, and in opinion polls they state their opnion that it is very important that animals are treated well (Special Eurobarometer 442 2015), and they also usually can't abide the idea or image of another creature suffering or being killed (Lamm et al. 2010). On the other hand, the vast majority of these people consume a large quantity of animal products daily from large-scale, industrial livestock farms, where animals are treated as utility units rather than as individuals with their own needs (Twine 2010). Through the excessive consumption of these products, consumers participate not only in the unnecessary suffering and killing of sentient creatures (Pluhar 2010; Discanto et al. 2014), but also in an environmental threat to our entire planet (FAO 2006; Thaler et al. 2013; Scarborough et al. 2014 Springmann et al., 2016). How do people come to terms with this blatant contradiction? What mechanisms allow the existence of a contradictory relationship in which we love one animal and kill another? Is there any way to allay this paradox and promote a more sustainable way of life and a more empathetic relationship with the other inhabitants of our planet? Contemporary social science research is trying to answer these and other questions. Conformity As Tobias Leenaert writes in his blog, Vegan Strategist (Tobias Leenaert 2016), the question, "Why do most people consume meat?" can be very simply answered, "Because most people eat meat." This is due to man's tendency to conform to the culture to which he/she belongs by birth.

  • Mouvement RWAS Et Mouvement De Libération Animale
    1 Chapitre 4 Mouvement RWAS et mouvement de libération animale Jusqu’à présent, le mouvement de libération animale (ou mouvement des droits des animaux) s’est concentré sur l’objectif de faire cesser les usages que font les humains d’autres animaux au détriment de ces derniers, que ce soit pour les loisirs, la recherche ou la fourniture de biens de consommation. Une grande majorité des acteurs de la mouvance RWAS sont engagés dans le mouvement des droits des animaux, et certains en sont des penseurs ou militants de premier plan. Le site Animal Ethics est une bonne illustration de cette conjonction : il est original par la place importante qu’il accorde à la thématique RWAS, mais si vous êtes familiarisé avec le mouvement de libération animale, ses autres composantes ne vous dépayseront pas (cf. les parties du site traitant de l’exploitation des animaux, de la sentience, ou de l’éthique). À première vue, il semble donc qu’il faille considérer le mouvement RWAS comme un prolongement du mouvement de libération animale, et c’est certainement ainsi que le voient la plupart de ses promoteurs. Un prolongement de taille toutefois, puisque les animaux sauvages sont beaucoup plus nombreux que les animaux domestiques, et que les maux naturels font davantage de dégâts parmi les animaux sauvages que la pêche ou la chasse humaines. On peut y voir aussi un saut qualitatif puisque, pour les éthiciens RWAS, il s’agit d’accéder au sens plein de la logique antispéciste, là où le mouvement de libération animale est resté cantonné dans le provincialisme humain.

  • KEY: So That Anyone Can See the Logic of Your Thinking, the Goal in Making
    7/January/2019 KEY: So that anyone can see the logic of your thinking, the goal in making an Ideological Profile is to progress from the most fundamental observations and theories about life and existence to the most practical implications in laws and social issues. This is why the ideas are weighted from 23 to 1. Also, this is to encourage everyone to begin by reaching a common ground with the greatest number of people, from any place or creed. Ideally, we should first establish where our views are the same before we can discern exactly where and why they diverge. However, this is only a suggestion. Egora supports absolute free speech, and you can use your Ideological Profile in any way you wish. TIP: A ‘good’ idea is generally an idea that you are willing to actively promote by asking others to also support it. But you can use your Ideological Profile to express ideas that are only personally relevant to you. NOTE: Countries are listed in order of IP creation for that country. United States of America Dan Kappil (1) 23 END SLAVERY 22 The war on drugs has failed. It has been shown over decades that prohibiting drugs has simply led to a thriving illicit drug trade and resulting violence. Incarcerating drug users does not help them to recover as prison does not give drug users the resources needed to come clean. Drugs should be legalized, controlled, regulated, and taxed. If an adult person decides to partake of drugs, they should be made aware of the risk, but also should be allowed to use drugs even if it is to their detriment.
