This study aimed to understand better how Koreans in their 30s to their 50s perceive the word kkondae using Q-methodology, a research method that reveals the subjectivity of individuals. “Kkondae” ...traditionally refers to condescending older people and reveals changes between generations in Korean society. Our research results showed four types of perceptions. Type 1 participants believe kkondae are people who wield authority based on age. Type 2 participants see kkondae as people who mistakenly believe their own experiences can be generalized. Type 3 participants view kkondae as self-centered and closed-minded people who think they are superior, while Type 4 participants perceive kkondae as people who lord over others as part of hierarchical relationships. Consequently, the four types of perceptions of kkondae demonstrate that the reasons and ways of expressing conflict situations between groups are changing in Korean society.
The lack of an overall gender gap in British voting behaviour hides considerable gender gaps within birth cohorts. This is not due to a gradual realignment of the gender gap related to modernisation, ...but instead to a gendered process of government socialisation. Men are especially supportive of the party that was in power during their formative years, particularly if it was in power for a sustained period of time. This is not consistently the case for women, and this gender difference produces political generations not only characterised by higher support for the party in power during their youth but also by gender gaps in voting behaviour.
•Changes to the gender gap in British voting behaviour are examined.•The lack of an overall gender gap hides considerable gender gaps within birth cohorts.•Men are more supportive of the party that was in power during their formative years, but this is not the case for women.•The gender difference in response to government socialisation produces different gender gaps for different birth cohorts.
In the last few years, gender-based violence has been positioned on the Mexican public agenda. This article analyses the onlife feminist activism carried out by student groups from UNAM’s Faculty of ...Sciences and Humanities between 2018 and 2020. It involves a thematic analysis of Facebook pages, student and university authority communications, media reports and participant observations. The results of the study identified three types of action: the creation of profiles on social networks, the creation of reporting mechanisms and the holding of strikes on campus. The author concludes that within the framework of the change in the emotional configuration of inter-gender relations, gender-based violence against women takes on a dominant visibility and becomes a focus of conflict within educational institutions.
En los últimos años, la violencia de género se ha instalado en la agenda pública mexicana. Este artículo analiza el activismo feminista onlife que desarrollaron colectivas estudiantiles del Colegio de Ciencias y Humanidades de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, entre 2018 y 2020. Se realizó un análisis temático sobre páginas de Facebook, comunicados estudiantiles y de autoridades universitarias, notas periodísticas y observaciones participantes. Entre
los hallazgos se destacan tres modalidades de acción: la creación de perfiles en redes sociodigitales, la realización de tendederos de denuncia y la toma estudiantil de los planteles. Se concluye que, en el marco de cambios de la configuración emotiva en el trato intergéneros, la violencia contra las mujeres por motivos de género adquiere una visibilidad preponderante y se erige en foco de conflicto dentro de las instituciones educativas.
Nos últimos anos, a violência de gênero se instalou na agenda pública mexicana. Este artigo analisa, a partir de uma abordagem hermenêutica, o ativismo feminista onlife desenvolvido pelos coletivos estudantis da Faculdade de Ciências e Humanidades da UNAM, entre 2018 e 2020. Realizou-se uma análise temática de páginas do Facebook, comunicados estudantis e de autoridades universitárias, notas jornalísticas e observações dos participantes. Entre os resultados, destacam-se três modalidades de ação: a criação de perfis em redes sociodigitais, a criação de varais de denúncia e a ocupação estudantil. Concluiu-se que, no âmbito das mudanças na configuração emocional das relações intergêneros, a violência de gênero contra as mulheres adquire uma visibilidade predominante e torna-se um foco de conflito dentro das instituições educacionais.
Evidence in the literature suggests that traditional medicinal knowledge (TMK) among Indigenous populations is declining. This study focused on understanding influences underlying the perception of ...intergenerational erosion of TMK among Kenyan Purko Maasai. Methods included a combination of participant observation and in-depth interviews among 30 participants. Using a political ecology framework, results indicate a number of sociocultural factors contributing to local perceptions of decline in TMK among younger generations. Shifts in land tenure and changes in locality, for example, impact transmission of knowledge. While younger generations described a strong desire to learn TMK, they were at a loss as to how to gain the knowledge. Our findings suggest that limited in-situ learning opportunities within the local environment is a leading factor resulting in perceptions of intergenerational erosion of knowledge. We conclude that, to ensure the transmission of this valuable cultural resource, a shift is needed in educational strategies, both at the school and community level.
The corporations using the varied workforce can supply a greater variety of solutions to problems in service, sourcing, and allocation of their resources. The current labor market mentions four ...generations that are living and working today: the Baby boomers generation, the Generation X, the Generation Y and the Generation Z. The differences between generations can affect the way corporations recruit and develop teams, deal with change, motivate, stimulate and manage employees, and boost productivity, competitiveness and service effectiveness. A corporation’s success and competitiveness depend on its ability to embrace diversity and realize the competitive advantages and benefits. The aim of this paper is to present the current generation of employees (the employees of Baby Boomers Generation, Generation X, Generation Y and Generation Z) in the labor market by secondary research and then to introduce the results of primary research that was implemented in selected corporations in the Czech Republic. The contribution presents a view of some of the results of quantitative and qualitative research conducted in selected corporations in the Czech Republic. These researches were conducted in 2015 on a sample of 3,364 respondents, and the results were analyzed. Two research hypotheses and one research question have been formulated. The verification or rejection of null research hypothesis was done through the statistical method of the Pearson’s Chi-square test. It was found that perception of the choice of superior from a particular generation does depend on the age of employees in selected corporations. It was also determined that there are statistically significant dependences between the preference for heterogeneous or homogeneous cooperation and the age of employees in selected corporations.
New uses for social networks are emerging in educational fields offering endless materials for the teaching–learning process. Skills development therefore leads to an education focused on sustainable ...development. Proper use of social media is especially important to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 of the 2030 Agenda, which proclaims inclusive and equitable quality education and promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all—a trend that implies large data volumes that can be manipulated and adapted to the needs of each student, thus opening up new perspectives. This study aims to identify the differences between the use of social networks among students classed into two generations, X and Y. With that aim in mind, the results of a survey administered to 338 university students engaged in online studies showed significant differences, mainly in relation to social issues. Both generations nevertheless agreed on the benefits and uses of social networks within the academic field. The conclusions reaffirm the use of these resources for improving teaching and learning processes within online environments.
This is the first in-depth study of post-war female religious life. Rooted in the lived experiences of women religious in Britain, it explores British modernity, the social movements of the long ...1960s and the Second Vatican Council, while acknowledging transnational relationships and global interconnectivities within and across national divides.
The first type of tourism was essentially domestic. However, tourist activities have become a major trend lately, particularly in some locations. According to UNWTO (2016), domestic tourism involves ...an estimated volume of 5 to 6 billion tourists across the whole world. As a result, some destinations consider it imperative to promote and develop domestic tourism, since it represents an important input to local and national economy. Notwithstanding these facts, most actions taken and research conducted focus on international tourists.An empirical study involving 622 domestic tourists reveals that the main cognitive destination image dimensions are Simplicity and Authenticity, Good Environment, Relaxation and Socialization, Good Infrastructures, Nostalgia and History and Culture. Regarding the affective attributes, most tourists in the sample have strong positive feelings regarding the visited destination. In addition, results prove that those tourists’ generational differences influence the way they build the cognitive and affective images of a certain destination. The discussion focuses on the kind of implications tourism destinations may have for Management and Marketing.
This study reviewed current literature on generational issues in Korea, specifically in relation to the workplace. Based on the results, this study concluded that distinct generations of workers ...exist in Korea. While there are similar generational characteristics between Korea and the United States because of the unique societal, historical, and cultural factors in each country, there are noticeable differences such as the existence of Generation 386 in Korea. Due to rapid industrialization and social transformation during the past few decades, Korean society seems to exhibit wider gaps between older and younger generations than the United States. The roles of Generation 386 and Generation Y in organizations should be considered for the future.
