“Starting Points Matter”: Humanizing Economics Pedagogy through New Economic Paradigms

Abstract

This paper considers the implications of the neoclassical dominant narrative in economics education and conceptualizes specific responses that teachers and teacher educators can take to promote a humanizing economics pedagogy. I briefly describe alternative economic paradigms and contrast them with neoclassical fundamentals. Then, I include economic lesson ideas to showcase ways to teach traditional economic content in ways that attend to neoclassicism but expand the potential of the discipline into new paradigms. By interrogating the fundamentals of neoclassical economics, students and teachers of economics can use these new economic paradigms to foster a counternarrative that is more critical and humanizing and can help address the prevailing themes of an era marked by systemic oppression.

中国的和平发展与国际法价值多元化

国际法发展呈现价值多元化的趋势。国际法首要和基本的价值是维护国际和平与安全。传统国际法追求的是国家价值,即独立、平等、自治、领土完整和不可侵犯等,集中表现为主权原则。现代国际法日益关注个体的人的权利,强调人的价值。在国际法的发展上表现为人权的普遍化与国际化及国际法规则的人本化。中国需要坚持国家主权原则以维护国家利益,而人权保护和国际法的人本化又与“以人为本”、“和谐世界”不谋而合。     

Beyond Positive Reinforcement

Abstract

This article comments on the need to recognize that OBM already is a “positive psychology” for many more reasons than just that it embraces positive reinforce as a cornerstone of workplace improvement. This paper suggests there are at least 10 ways in which OBM constitutes a distinctly “positive” and humanizing approach to management practices. These ways are enumerated and briefly reviewed.     

论工业设计中人性化的体现——以便携式产品的设计为例

人性化设计是当今社会人们对产品使用的新要求,也是产品设计发展的趋势。就拿作为当今社会人性化设计典型代表的各类便携式产品来说,它虽然在设计上满足了人们在使用方面的要求,但在人性化设计环节仍有一些不足。因此,便携式产品设计应从设计原理和设计风格上进一步改进,也就是要进一步提高产品设计的人性化程度,并力求功能和形态的简洁,以更好地使其体现便携价值。
