梁启超的中道精神——谨以此文纪念梁启超诞生一百二十五周年

梁启超对清末至五四时期文化和政治上的偏激倾向持一种批判的立场,在中西文化的位置怎么摆、共和抑或立宪、“民主主义”等问题上,采取一种可贵的中庸立场,从而在当时思想界发挥一种矫枉过正的作用。梁启超是戊戌一代人中唯一一个超越了戊戌时代的人,而且越到后来越表现了一种守成的倾向,甚至几可视为一个现代保守主义者。正是这种守成倾向使他具有一种在当时人看来落后、过时甚至反动,但现在看来却十分正确的中道精神     

Discrimination Experienced by Immigrants,Racialized Individuals,and Indigenous Peoples in Small- and Mid-Sized Communities in Southwestern Ontario

We investigate discrimination experiences of (1) immigrants and racialized individuals, (2) Indigenous peoples, and (3) comparison White non-immigrants in nine regions of Southwestern Ontario containing small- and mid-sized communities. For each region, representative samples of the three groups were recruited to complete online surveys. In most regions, over 80 percent of Indigenous peoples reported experiencing discrimination in the past 3 years, and in more than half of the regions, over 60 percent of immigrants and racialized individuals did so. Indigenous peoples, immigrants and racialized individuals were most likely to experience discrimination in employment settings and in a variety of public settings, and were most likely to attribute this discrimination to racial and ethnocultural factors, and for Indigenous peoples also their Indigenous identity. Immigrants and racialized individuals who had experienced discrimination generally reported a lower sense of belonging and welcome in their communities. This association was weaker for Indigenous peoples. The findings provide new insight into discrimination experienced by Indigenous peoples, immigrants and racialized individuals in small and mid-sized Canadian communities, and are critical to creating and implementing effective anti-racism and anti-discrimination strategies.     

Marriage: for love,for money…and for time?

Married couples enjoy meaningful economies in time, often choosing to specialize where one spouse focuses on market work and the other on household production and childcare. Using data from the American Time Use Survey 2003–2008, I estimate significant marriage effects upon time use. Most married women gain 33–34 min of leisure each weekday when compared to single women. While marriage does not lead to more leisure for husbands, it allows them to allocate time away from home and towards market work. Lower-income couples work more at home and for pay, and spend less time in leisure than their single counterparts. The temporal and financial gains from marriage for most people are inconsistent with its declining prevalence.

印越战略伙伴关系：发展、动因及影响

冷战结束初期,印度与越南的关系处于不温不火状态,这种局面直到20世纪末才逐渐被打破。2003年,印越签署的《全面合作框架联合宣言》是双边关系发展的重要里程碑。2007年签署的《战略伙伴关系联合宣言》将两国关系推向战略伙伴的新高度。两国的外交调整、发展张力及地区格局变迁等是推动战略伙伴关系发展的主要动因。印越战略伙伴关系在安全、外交及贸易等方面都产生了诸多影响,但受两国地理与实力等局限,这些影响是有限的。     

A Preliminary Comparison Study of Online and Face-to-Face Counseling: Client Perceptions of Three Factors

This preliminary study examined the similarities and differences between online and face-to-face counseling with regard to general mental health, working alliance, and social presence. Participants included 50 current counseling clients (37 face-to-face, 13 online) who all were recruited through online mediums. Results indicated that online counseling clients perceived a significantly stronger working alliance on the total Working Alliance Inventory-Short Form as well as the Goal subscale than did those who received face-to-face only counseling. No significant differences existed between the groups on general mental health or social presence. These results suggest that a more controlled study with a larger sample might find that a strong working alliance can be developed through online counseling.     

Mindfulness in financial literacy

ABSTRACT

Financial education is becoming imperative in a society that has pitfalls for unwary consumers. To ensure effectiveness, educational strategies must take into consideration the readiness of consumers to learn the curriculum. Behavioral economics highlights the obstacles that educators face in promoting financial efficacy. Such obstacles include envy, fear, greed, and other all too familiar human failings. One innovative model, mindfulness, provides insight into the human dynamics of personal financial behaviors. This article ties together financial education, mindfulness techniques, and transtheoretical stages of readiness. The impact of gradually introduced educational tasks is presented with an eye toward clients’ stages of readiness, and mindfulness addresses the emotional burdens of altering a financially profligate lifestyle.     

陆游与江西诗派关系新探——对《读近人诗》误读之还原阐释

20世纪各类权威的文学批评史著作多认为陆游《读近人诗》批评了黄庭坚及其江西诗派雕琢奇险之病.然而,黄庭坚论诗亦反对雕琢奇险之风,他作诗以生新瘦硬著称,以其为宗的江西诗派更有汗漫无禁之病,与雕琢之风不可相提并论.此诗批评对象应是以字斟句酌为能事的四灵诗人.今人对此诗的误读缘于对“蟹螯蛤柱”一语的理解,还原此诗的原意有助于我们更好地理解陆游与江西诗派的关系.
