和谐社会公民政治参与权的法治保障

公民政治参与权是指公民依法享有的由宪法和法律确认,受宪法和法律保障和限制,通过一定方式参与国家政治活动,并影响国家政治构成、决策、进程、结果,而不受他人非法干涉、侵犯和剥夺的权利。我国已形成保障公民政治参与权的法律制度,但也存在一些不足。进一步加强社会主义法治建设,对扩大公民有序政治参与,保障人民当家作主,建设法治国家,构建和谐社会都具有十分重要意义。

就业问题是关系国计民生的重要问题之一,而东北资源枯竭型城市中下岗失业人员的就业问题由于诸多原因使社区就业问题显得更加严峻。以辽宁省F市社区就业现状为例,通过参与观察、访谈以及收集当地现有文献等方法来获取详细的资料,探寻社区就业问题的根源,并试提出相应对策,以期促进社区功能的整合和社会和谐发展。     

社区就业——再就业的重要途径

就业是民生之本,解决下岗失业人员再就业是一个关乎社会稳定的重要问题。随着我国经济体制转轨过程中下岗、失业问题的加剧,社区就业逐渐成为再就业的主渠道。从社区就业的特点入手,结合社区建设实践分析社区就业存在的问题,并提出拓展社区就业的对策,以真正实现社区就业的功能。     

对社区文化建设的一些思考

社区建设是一项综合性的社会工程,和谐社区的建设要从和谐的社区文化建设入手。社区文化建设主要集中在建设群众文化与大众文化互补的新型社区文化,发展“第三部门”性质的文化中介组织,处理好专业艺术与群众文化的关系,处理好农村文化与城市文化的关系等几方面。同时,还要以“重在建设”为总的指导原则。     

澳大利亚社区卫生服务模式对中国的借鉴意义

澳大利亚是一个经济发达的、多元文化为主导的社会福利型国家,社区卫生服务建设比较完善。虽然在社会制度及卫生保健制度上与中国有很大差异,但对于发展中国的社区卫生服务仍有值得借鉴的经验。     

"趣味共同体"与审美泛化再考察

审美从来都是一种生活实践和社会交往方式的展现,体现着人们对社会生活的一种既有精神性又有交往性的心理需求。因此,不同的社会阶层表现出不同的需求意向和审美内涵;人们也自然而然地以不同阶层、身份和生活方式为区分尺度,逐步形成不同的审美群体,即"趣味共同体"。这是理解当代审美泛化("日常生活审美化"和"审美日常生活化")现象的方法论和认识论前提。     

村民自治与农村政治发展

建立健全村民自治组织,推动农村政治发展,是中国政治发展的关键之一。政治民主、政治参与、政治秩序等作为农村政治发展的内容,是村民自治的内在价值追求。作为非国家形态的民主,村民自治的建立是社会主义政治文明的象征和标志,是社会主义民主政治的生长点。它标志着政治现代化的一种政治参与,旨在维护农村的社会秩序进而维护中国政治秩序的良性发展。     

Gender differences in labour market integration trajectories of recently arrived migrants in the Netherlands

This study investigates gender differences in recently arrived migrants’ labour market activity and occupational status both shortly after arrival and with increasing length of stay. We examine the role of education, household composition and traditional gender role values by estimating multi-group multilevel models based on three waves of the New Immigrants to the Netherlands Survey. In line with findings regarding gender gaps in labour market behaviour, recent female migrants are less active on labour market than their male counterparts, and we observe a clear motherhood penalty and fatherhood premium on the number of hours worked. Men and women show only marginal differences in their occupational statuses. Changes over time do not differ between men and women, indicating persistent gender inequality in labour market attainment. Moreover, interesting differences between the nationalities were found. Polish migrants show the highest activity levels and lowest occupational status, also when compared to Bulgarians. Spanish migrants hold the highest occupational statuses. Recent Turkish migrants seem to be better integrated and show fewer gender differences than the more established Turkish minority in the Netherlands.     

“Post-Gay” Yet? The Relevance of the Lesbian and Gay Scene to Same-Sex Attracted Young People in Contemporary Australia

In recent years, the lesbian and gay “scene” of bars, nightclubs, and dance parties has been undergoing a structural decline in many Western cities. This article aimed to examine the relevance of the scene to same-sex attracted young adults amid these changes. An online survey was conducted with 572 same-sex attracted young women and men in Sydney. Only a minority of respondents participated in the scene at least weekly (16%), and the majority did not regard the scene as important to their leisure time (60%). However, respondents valued the scene as a space to connect with other same-sex attracted people and display same-sex affection without fear of hostility. Lesbian and gay identified respondents tended to be more socially engaged with the scene compared to other same-sex attracted respondents. The findings suggest that while the scene continues to be valued by many same-sex attracted young people, improved social attitudes have made participating in the scene less of an imperative.     

Incorporating human sexuality content into a positive youth development framework: Implications for community prevention

As approaches to positive youth development (PYD) gain momentum, the issue of sexuality – a critical component of human development – is being subsumed by ideological debates. In the current political climate, sexuality education is often relegated to biological and/or values-based approaches, neglecting essential relational and collective aspects of sexuality. Through the explication of sexuality as an important component of youth's social ecology, this paper provides a conceptual link between the goals of the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States' (SIECUS) Guidelines for comprehensive sexuality education and those of PYD. We argue that sexuality, as a normative part of human development, culture, identity, and relationships, be approached from an asset-based perspective, rather than a deficit-based perspective. We propose a framework that illustrates how aspects of sexuality are embedded within PYD contexts, and demonstrates how a sexuality education program rooted in SIECUS guidelines can further PYD goals across community contexts.
