私力救济及其价值探讨

私力救济之所以有旺盛的生命力,很大程度上源于其具有公力救济所无法完全替代的价值.通过对私力救济价值的描述以及我国当前的现实国情,可以发现,在实现法治的基础上发挥社会成员的自治性,在注重法律的公正性的同时兼顾效率原则,建立公力救济为主、私力救济为补充的多元救济机制,正是私力救济的价值所在.     

“和”的字源及涵义辨析

浅析庄子的和谐思想及其现实意义

时代在进步,认识亦随时代而发展。人类自其诞生至今,生生不息,代代相传。在对待自然的态度上,人们普遍认为,在经历了古代的“崇拜”“敬畏”,近代的“征服”“统治”之后,作为否定之否定的和谐形态,是对前两个阶段的积极扬弃。其实,在两千多年前,作为中国最伟大的思想家之一,庄子天人合一的和谐思想为和谐社会提供了一个理想的存在空间,在当今举国以高涨的热情构建社会主义和谐社会之时,庄子的和谐思想无疑有着极强的现实借鉴意义。     

论跨文化传播背景下世界商业文化传播

在世界商业文化跨地区、跨国度的传播历程中,商人是传播主体,商业精神是文化传播的灵魂,商业繁荣则是其文化传播诸多成果的外在表现.商人是社会财富的创造者,也是文明进步的推进者,中外商人所推崇的商业理论及商业信条,并由此而凝聚成的商业精神,是人类精神文化产品的重要组成部分,商业繁荣是社会稳定与民众生活水平显著提高的重要标志.世界范围内商业文化的有效传播,是推动社会和谐发展与文明进步的重要力量.     

从人与自然的和谐关系透视消费模式的转变

人与自然关系的和谐是实现可持续发展的重要课题,人与自然的关系从某种意义上讲就是人类消费行为、消费方式与对自然的开发、利用和破坏的关系。但是人类现有的消费模式是建立在对自然、环境、资源的无偿掠夺的基础上的,结果导致环境污染、资源枯竭、生物多样性减少和自然景观遭受破坏。要消除目前的环境危机,实现人与自然的和谐,必须转变消费观念,建立一种全新的消费模式———生态消费模式,实现人与自然的和谐,促进可持续发展的实现。

还杨修之死本来面目

杨修死于帝位之争,而非曹操的屈才．《三国演义》发挥了《世浯》中杨修恃才逞能的一面,而略去帝位之争不提,是为了塑造奸雄曹操的性格特征,与史实并不符合．     

Getting low educated and older people into work: The role of fiscal policy

Raising employment, in particular employment among older individuals and low educated individuals, stands high on the agenda of policy makers in many OECD countries. Increased sensitivity in recent years to rising inequality has made the challenge only larger. In this paper we evaluate alternative fiscal policy scenarios to face this challenge. We construct and use an overlapping generations model for an open economy where individuals differ not only by age, but also by innate ability and human capital. The model allows us to study effects on aggregate employment, per capita income and welfare, as well as effects for specific age and ability groups. We show that well-considered fiscal policy changes can significantly improve macroeconomic productive efficiency, without increasing intergenerational or intragenerational welfare inequality. Our results strongly prefer a reduction in the labor tax rate on older workers and on all low-wage earners, financed by an overall reduction in non-employment benefits. An alternative financing option is to raise the consumption tax rate. These results are to be seen as long-run effects for economies at potential output.     

Formation of European identity: ethnic minority groups in Central and Eastern Europe in generational perspective

Research into European identity has mostly focused on majority populations in Western European countries, neglecting new member states in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) as well as ethnic minority groups. This paper contributes to filling this gap by exploring and investigating processes of European identity formation of five ethnic minority groups in four CEE countries. A generational perspective was applied by conducting qualitative in-depth interviews with three generations of ethnic minority group members. The results support the instrumental approach of identity construction. In all minority groups researched, the young generation, due to more positive personal experiences and perceived benefits from the European Union, have developed more positive images and perceptions of Europe and a greater sense of European identity than older generations. Furthermore, ethnic group-specific processes of identity formation were found.
