But, the opportunity to overcome them is there, as is the optimism that many demonstrate in the face of the current situation. The coming years will tell whether this was indeed the decade for Latin America and the Caribbean or whether the progress will be short-lived once more, and instead, the social conflicts rooted in poverty, unemployment, crime, and inequality will grow. José Miguel Insulza The Latin-American Decade: Visions of Development and Global Insertion, Flacso April 26, 2011 , San Jose, Costa Rica - 9 - INTRODUCTION Inequality, Democracy and Social Inclusion José Miguel Insulza* he decision of the Government of Paraguay to focus on the issues of development and social inclusion at the 44th regular session of the TOAS General Assembly 2014 could not have been more propitious as it contributed to a debate that is being rekindled throughout the world, most notably in the Americas. Growth in the Latin America has been substantial, despite years of crisis in the north of the continent, all the more so as it has been coupled with considerable strengthening of democracy. In that context, the lag in utmost importance. For many years now, we have been contending that, in fully including all citizens in the benefits of development has become of the addition to the weaknesses that still exist in our institutions and political practices, the full exercise of democracy in the Americas suffers from severe inequality, which is not only undermining democratic coexistence but also preventing sound growth. Our region is not the same it was three decades ago. Higher economic growth has made it possible to reduce poverty and enlarge the prospects for a better life of many of the continent’s inhabitants. The levels of achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have been positive in almost all countries. Our approach to the problem must include these considerations but must also recognize that these - 13 - achievements have not, by themselves, had the virtuous effect of making our societies more egalitarian. We are long past the time when it was thought that the interaction between democracy and the market economy would reduce inequalities. On the contrary, the huge injustice prevailing in our countries in terms of the distribution of wealth and access to social assets does grievous harm to the democratic fabric. Poverty and inequality are even more unacceptable in a continent that is not poor, but indeed deeply unfair. Although over the past decade the number of poor people has declined substantially, many of those who have taken this important step out of poverty still must tackle, along with others who were poor before, extremely precarious conditions. A recent study1 estimates that one third of Latin America’s entire population lives in households with incomes ranging from 4 to 10 dollars a day. These 167 million Latin Americans, but to call them “middle-income” sectors, as strugglers have already left behind the poverty that still afflicts more than some do, makes no sense either. In fact, there are many millions of “non- poor” people who are in an income range that still makes them extremely vulnerable. Furthermore, inequality is no longer a Latin American issue, but rather a hemispheric issue, because the region’s most developed countries are also facing growing conditions of inequality and the accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few households, while large sectors of their society are being excluded. As we shall see below, a large part of the recent alarm about inequality has focused on its economic aspects, especially income distribution. Although it cannot be denied that the way in which material resources are being distributed is at the heart of inequality and exclusion, it must be pointed out that these issues also encompass other areas of social activities, whose origins oftentimes do not lie in the economic 1 Nancy Birdsall, Nora Lustig, Christian J. Mayer, “The Strugglers: the New Poor in Latin America,” Centre for Global Development, Working Paper 337, August 2013. It will be published in World Development, vol. 60, August 2014. - 14 - disparities. Social subordination and exclusion of the indigenous peoples in our continent, for example, did not arise from any prior economic backwardness, but were the result of the violent appropriation of their wealth and the use of force to dominate them. Inequality is therefore not simply evident in the huge diversity in the purchasing power of persons, but also stems from discrimination for reasons of social class, race, gender, geographical origin, different physical capacities, etc., which when practiced systematically (that is, excluding all or almost all members of a group), transforms them into a multidimensional phenomenon and makes it incompatible with our democratic ideals. and unstable income, is compounded by other permanent inequalities, In short, economic vulnerability, resulting from insufficient separating different categories of individuals in society and which are not always tied, at least in the beginning, to economic issues. Being a woman, poor, indigenous, Afro-descendant, migrant, disabled, or informal worker means having a disadvantaged position in society at the start compared to those who do not have that gender, economic conditions, race, migratory status, physical features or working status. As a rule, these categories entail various economic conditions, access to services, public protection, education, or employment opportunities. Their development as social categories may have had different origins, as indicated above, but the major impact shall be to make them more vulnerable to abuse, exclusion, and discrimination. 1.

  • CYBERBULLYING Bullying Is Aggressive Behavior That Is Intentional and Involves an Imbalance of Power Or Strength
    From the Stop Bullying Now Website http://www.stopbullyingnow.hrsa.gov/adults/cyber-bullying.aspx CYBERBULLYING Bullying is aggressive behavior that is intentional and involves an imbalance of power or strength. Usually, it is repeated over time. Traditionally, bullying has involved actions such as: hitting or punching (physical bullying), teasing or name-calling (verbal bullying), or intimidation through gestures or social exclusion. In recent years, technology has given children and youth a new means of bullying each other. Cyberbullying, which is sometimes referred to as online social cruelty or electronic bullying, has been defined as "an aggressive, intentional act carried out by a group or individual, using electronic forms of contact, repeatedly and over time against a victim who cannot easily defend him or herself" (Smith et al., 2008, p. 376). Cyberbullying can involve: • Sending mean, vulgar, or threatening messages or images • Posting sensitive, private information and/or lies about another person • Pretending to be someone else in order to make that person look bad • Intentionally excluding someone from an online group (Willard, 2005) Children and youth can cyberbully each other through: • Emails • Instant messaging • Text or digital imaging messages sent on cell phones • Social networking sites • Web pages • Blogs • Chat rooms or discussion groups • Other cyber technologies Bullying via instant messaging appears to be particularly prevalent (Dehue et al., 2008; Kowalski et al., 2008). How Common Is Cyberbullying? Research studies have produced different answers to this question. Rates of cyberbullying vary depending on the definition of cyberbullying that is used, the ages and characteristics of children surveyed, and the time frame involved (Kowalski & Limber, under review).

  • Populism As a Problem of Social Integration
    Populism as a Problem of Social Integration Noam Gidron and Peter A. Hall Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Robertson Hall, Princeton University, Princeton NJ 08544. [email protected] Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies Harvard University 27 Kirkland Street Cambridge MA 02138 [email protected] Abstract We contend that contemporary support for populist parties, especially among their core voters in developed democracies, stems from a set of economic and cultural developments that have severed the connections that usually bind people to their society, leaving many feeling ‘left behind’. Building on an important ethnographic literature, we assess whether populism can be seen as a problem of social integration through an examination of political attitudes and electoral behavior in 26 developed democracies. Using subjective social status as an indicator for the social integration of individuals, we find that people who feel more marginal to society, because they lack social engagement or a sense of social respect, are more likely to be alienated from mainstream politics and to not vote or vote for parties of the populist right or radical left. Using multi-level models, we find that people with relatively low levels of income or education are more likely to feel marginalized when national levels of income inequality or enrollments in tertiary education are high. The implication is that support for parties of the populist right and radical left has both economic and cultural roots and should be addressed, not only as an issue of economic deprivation requiring redistribution, but also as an issue of social integration requiring efforts to expand social recognition.

  • How Does Individualism-Collectivism Relate to Bullying Victimisation?
    International Journal of Bullying Prevention https://doi.org/10.1007/s42380-018-0005-y ORIGINAL ARTICLE How Does Individualism-Collectivism Relate to Bullying Victimisation? Peter K. Smith 1 & Susanne Robinson1 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Large-scale surveys have pointed to considerable country variations in the prevalence and nature of bullying victimisation. In seeking to explain these, one possible explanatory factor has been the cultural values of a country, such as expounded by (Hofstede 1980; Hofstede et al. 2010). Of his six dimensions of cultural values, the most investigated in relation to aggression and bullying has been that of individualism-collectivism (IDV). The theoretical background and several empirical studies have suggested more aggression in individualist societies, but the evidence has been mixed and often based on small samples. Here, we investigate how the prevalence of victimisation in different countries relates to IDV. We also examine predictions about the proportion of bullying which is relational and the ratio of bullies to victims. We primarily used the Health Behaviour in School- aged Children surveys, available at 3 age groups and over six time points. We also use data from 4 other surveys where appropriate. The overall findings are for less victimisation in individualist societies, but only in more recent years; some support for a greater proportion of relational victimisation in individualist societies and a higher ratio of bullies to victims in collectivist societies. The findings are discussed in relation to other factors, and a hypothesis is advanced that regulatory frameworks and resources have reduced victimisation primarily in more individualist societies in the last two decades.

En un ambiente mayoritariamente partidario de la ideología de los cristianos viejos y su propósito de excluir a los conversos de los honores sociales, tímidamente tanto Felipe II, en sus últimos años de vida, como Felipe III, la Inquisición y en concreto inquisidores generales como Quiroga, Niño de Guevara y Rojas, o bien sobresalientes religiosos como Rivadeneira, de las Casas y Montemayor, van a dar su apoyo en unos casos y a revisar en otros la conducta con la que se asocia al converso. Los últimos harán hincapié en su condi- ción de cristianos auténticos y las ventajas que reportaban sus conocimientos y formación para la sociedad y sus instituciones.
