The article addresses the problem of diversity management. The paper presents the most important issues in this field, with particular emphasis on the problems and threats associated with implementation of the diversity management concept. It has been demonstrated that the positive aspects of diversity management can not be specified alone as both the employees’ diversity itself and the idea of managing that diversity can evoke certain controversies.

The social changes throughout the twentieth century had provoked uneven development of cities within the former Czechoslovakia. Each of the political regimes that alternated at the periodicity of approximately twenty years had marked, through the ideology, not only the ethnic and social profile of the city and its districts, but also their urbanistic and architectonical characteristics, symbolism and the outer appearance of the streets. As a result, important changes occurred in the spatial division of the city as well as the identity of city spaces. The author analyzes the impacts of social changes on the spatial diversity of the city and social composition of its districts from the beginning of the twentieth century, but focuses especially on the processes of transformation of the post-socialist city and its present state. Analyses the role of local memory in the politics of the self-government of the city and in the attitudes and activities of its inhabitants.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a complex concept which embraces three organizational logics: economical, social and environmental. ADAMPOL, a Polish firm operating in Podlasie region, serves as an example of a company which declares in its documents (like the CSR report) that it has balanced CSR logics. The study contributes with insights to the organizational management of potentially opposing logics in CSR. Managing contradictions of CSR is an ongoing challenge and accomplishment influencing whether ethical, social and business logics collide or reinforce each other. The study shows - on the basis of research findings of a Danish frontrunner firm DanCo - that when ethics are framed as means to economic ends, some social responsibilities have a tendency to be disregarded in practice.

Pszczoły – to niezwykle różnorodna i ważna grupa owadów; około 4600 gatunków pszczół występuje w Ameryce Północnej. Dzikie pszczoły „świadczą usługi” w zakresie zapylania roślin, a ich działalność jest prawdopodobnie nawet więcej warta niż działalność pszczół miodnych na całym świecie. Są one słabo zbadane na większości obszarów, ale na terenach, dla których mamy wiarygodne dane, liczebność ich populacji obniża się. Wynika to głównie z przekształcania obszarów półnaturalnych na grunty rolne, a nowsze dane wskazują również, że pszczoły miodne mogą także wpływać na ich populacje. Aby zachować istniejące populacje pszczół, należy ustalić siedliska zapylaczy, w celu zachowania różnorodności dzikich zapylaczy w krajobrazach wiejskich i miejskich. W miarę jak populacja ludzi rośnie wraz z zapotrzebowaniem na produkcję rolną, musimy znaleźć sposoby „współpracy” z dzikimi zapylaczami i sposoby zachowania dla przyszłych pokoleń tysięcy gatunków pszczół, które żyją w Ameryce Północnej.

This article’s aim is to analyze the correlation between the unemployment rate in Poland and political (electoral) behavior. The analysis is correlation. Socio-economic factors continue to play a key role as a determinant of voting behavior. They must, however, be seen in the context of other conditions. There are also shown dependencies in relation to the electorates of individual political parties, which in its programs and activities put diverse emphasis on socio-economic issues.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest sprawdzenie, czy postrzeganie studentów w temacie odmienności zmienia się w okresie pomiędzy datą rozpoczęcia a datą ukończenia studiów wyższych. Ponadto autorzy próbują zbadać, czy życie studenckie, które jest okresem możliwości nawiązania dialogu między ludźmi o różnych profilach, ma decydujący wpływ na zmianę tegoż postrzegania, czy nie. Pierwsza faza niniejszego, długookresowego badania została podjęta w 2010 roku, natomiast druga faza została podjęta w 2014 roku. Badanie przeprowadzono na Uniwerystecie Dokuz Eylül, Wydział Administracji i Ekonomii w Izmirze, trzecim co do wielkości mieście w Turcji i objęło łącznie liczbę 1734 uczniów. W pracy badawczej zostały nakreślone trzy scenariusze, aby ustalić jak studenci postrzegają różnorodność osób, które uważają za odmienne, inne od siebie samych. W 2010 i 2014 przeprowadzono szereg ankiet, aby sprawdzić czy istnieją znaczące różnice w założonych trzech scenariuszach oraz zmiennych demograficznych oraz jaki mają wpływ na siebie nawzajem. Kiedy porównane zostały ankiety z 2010 i 2014 roku, na pierwszy plan wysunęły się dwa wnioski. Z przeprowadzonych ankiet w 2010 roku wynika, iż ukończenie danego profilu szkoły średniej ma duży wpływ na postrzeganie różnorodności studentów, podczas gdy wyniki z 2014 roku pokazują, że z biegiem czasu to postrzeganie zaciera się. Drugi ważny wniosek wypływający z ankiet przeprowadzonych w 2010 roku mówi, iż postrzeganie różnorodności studentów mieszkających z rodzicami różni się od postrzegania tych, którzy mieszkają w akademikach, podczas gdy w roku 2014 takiej różnic nie zaobserwowano.Słowa kluczowe: różnorodność, zarządzanie różnorodnością, postrzeganie różnorodności, wymiary różnorodności

The purpose of this study was to verify whether college students' perception of diversity varied between the date they started their university education and the date they graduated and to find out if student life, which provides opportunities for interactions between people of different profiles, is a determinative factor in this change of perception or not. The first phase of the longitudinal study in line with this purpose was concluded in 2010, whereas the second phase was completed in 2014. The study was carried out at Dokuz Eylül University, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, in İzmir, the third largest city of Turkey and covered 1734 students. Three different scenarios were used to determine students' perception of diversity towards people they perceived as different from themselves. Several tests were conducted in 2010 and 2014 to check if there were any significant differences between these three cases and in demographic variables. When the results of these two years were compared, two of them turned out to be particularly significant. The first of these two results from the 2010 study suggested that graduation from high school affected students' perception of diversity, whereas the results of the 2014 study showed that such perception disappeared within time. The second significant result of 2010 revealed that the perception of diversity among students who lived together with their families was different from the perception of those who lived in dormitories, whereas in 2014 no such difference was observed.

The dislocation of the Pandemic caused social convulsions around the world. The middle and ruling classes seem to have rediscovered humans – essential workers, employees, members of underrepresented minorities, and children. In our rush to atone our sins and redress imbalances, we are not stopping to define words nor, as the pragmatists would want us to, think through what our moral precepts mean in practice. Nor do we have the tools in accounting, the “language of business,” to capture our efforts. However, teams that do not take the time to establish ground rules and standard definitions often get a faster start but don’t always do the best work nor have the most impact. Let’s give ourselves better changes.

In this paper I delve into the trap of one perspective relating to the concept of diversity via the reflection upon personal experiences and societal perceptions. Departing from traditional academic approaches I navigate through anecdotes and reflections, highlighting the dangers of a singular perspective. In the article structured into three sections-introduction, discussion, and conclusion-I examine the transformative potential of embracing diversity. From cultural exchanges to historical figures like Christopher Columbus, each narrative underscores the importance of diverse viewpoints. The aim is to provoke thought, inspire introspection, and spark meaningful dialogue, ultimately advocating for a more inclusive and empathetic society.

While European nations are in the process of schooling large numbers of refugee youth from the Middle East and Northern Africa, empirical research on successful methods of social integration of this vital next generation of citizens is sparse. To address this void of knowledge, we review relevant lessons learned about school-based interethnic relations in the United States (U.S.) that offer some insights into successful social integration. By focusing on refugee youth’s needs to feel safe and connected in school, we focus specifically on social policies and educational practices that separate vs. integrate different ethnic groups together in schools and classrooms. To understand how and why segregation of groups fosters prejudice, while diversity promotes greater school safety and connectedness, we specifically highlight the role of cross-group friendships and the development of multiple social identities. Recommendations for new research directions on refugee youth are also provided.

The popularity of globalization problem within academic discourses is not free from some alarming tendencies. Firstly, it does not place too much emphasis on culture. Secondly, part of discussion on the issue lacks structure – it is usually unknown if particular theory focuses on micro-, or macro analysis. Tirdly, it is rarely clearly stated by scholars if globalization is understood as a process, a social reality or as a discourse. Ulf Hannerz in his cultural theory focuses on globalization problem understood as an organization of diversity. He highlights the intensifcation of interaction and connectivity within globalized social reality. Te scholar is also interested in global – local, centre – periphery relations. Terefore, he concentrates on the diversity issue as well as on chances, challenges and dangers connected with that phenomenon.Te aim of this article is verifcation whether Ulf Hannerz cultural theory of globalization avoids shortcomings of globalization debate. In the paper I also examine if that theory might be a useful tool for contemporary Polish social reality analysis. Is it useful for cultural and social diferences and diversity research?

Society and Art have variegated correlative relations in that the artist is, first and foremost, a member of a particular society. As such, his/her creative works are in the main influenced by the events of his/her immediate society or those of the societies that border the artist’s. Consequently, the Nigerian society has undergone different developmental stages, and in each era the fiction of the period reflects the dominant incidences of the period used in the work, no doubt, from the artist’s perception. Thus, throughout the development of the Nigerian society and the accompanying metamorphoses of its fiction, moderation has assumed metaphorical dimensions due to the fact that at every point two divergent views/forces are at “war” (and by decipherable African thought of obtaining peace through compromise) only a middle course can ensure peaceful co-existence. Hence, amidst the gargantuan religious strife in the contemporary Nigerian society Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie seems to have a solution with the suggestion of moderation in her debut narrative, Purple Hibiscus. This paper therefore, uses this novel of Adichie’s as a paradigm for the study of the exalted level to which artists have advanced moderation as a metaphor for the advancement of every society. The myriad vexing religious issues of the Nigerian society Adichie so aptly captures in Purple Hibiscus therefore, receive a treatment that one considers a model which is relevant for any developing society desirous of unity in diversity. null

The ongoing globalization of mass media offers ample opportunities for citizen debate and pluralism of thought. One of the recent world media trends is the creation of different models of public media, which are an alternative to other means of communication. Public media might address issues of contemporary journalism, namely the quality and independence of media, ensuring that citizens receive accurate and impartial information. Ukraine has undergone tremendous changes since it has gained independence in 1991 but the political and legal systems remain unduly centralized, the economy weak, and the government attempts to limit freedom of speech and work of media. During both the Orange Revolution in 2004 and the Euromaidan 2013–2014, the need to deepen democratic freedoms was emphasized. Major advocates of the reform called for strengthening the rule of law, decentralization, denationalization of media, and the establishment of community media in the country, which will be created by the society, serve the society, and work under its control. Measures to increase the diversity of Ukrainian media are one of the practical means to guarantee freedom of speech and diversity of viewpoints. The diversity of media includes not only the diversity of content and multiplicity of media owners but also the variety of media types. Along with traditional models of public service media and private commercial broadcasting, community media emerged as the “third level” of media development that enhances freedom of speech. This article examines the legal aspects of community media implementation in Ukraine, their compliance with the standards and principles of the media law of European countries that govern the media community, and illustrates the development of community broadcasting in the world. It also provides an overview of the international standards for community media, which are backed by legislatures and regulators. Analyzing the Ukrainian media legislative draft, the author of the article offers improvements to the content and funding of community media in Ukraine.

The author of the article stresses that what constitutes the purpose of humanistic education is showing the world from different perspectives and ambiguity as its inherent ingredient, which should be approached as both didactic and axiological challenge (especially in the light of concept of young people’s civic education). In this context he proposes to have a glance at cultural microcosm (of today’s Israel) described by Paweł Smoleński in his book published in 2019 entitled Wnuki Jozuego [Joshua’s Grandchildren]. The Polish author of reportages shows in the said book how - based on the example of Jewish Israeli settlers in the West Bank - dealing with religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity and experiencing them on the daily basis, paves the way for radical views and, consequently, for unifying the past, present, and the future. Many among Smoleński’s interlocutors/interviewees, however, touch upon the need for open dialogue, accepting otherness, and various outlooks on the most burning issues. Therefore, the story thus told may be treated as a warning against believing in only one righteous truth, as well as against the said belief’s negative influence on the sphere of public exchange of thoughts.

The evolution of strategic cooperation between competitive countries in international relations may be effectively modeled by the iterated Prisoner's Dilemma. Win-stay-lose-shift (WSLS) might be considered the most successful strategy since the seminal computer tournaments organized by Robert Axelrod. However, WSLS as a strategy to explain the evolution of cooperation is a failure in the sense that, whereas it cooperates with unconditional defection (ALLD) in every second round, WSLS ruthlessly exploits unconditional cooperation (ALLC) after an error of his own. Here we propose a promising cooperative strategy of No-Tricks, which wins against WSLS and some other well-known strategies, particularly inhibiting the evolution of ALLD. Remarkably, the prevalence of No-Tricks ensures the survival of ALLC, while the survival of ALLC is the toehold for a plethora of other strategies, which in turn render impossible the ALLC invasion of No-Tricks by neutral drift.

What do we talk about when we talk about ethical diversity as a challenge to the normative justifiability of liberal democracy? Many theorists claim that liberal democracy ought to be reformed or rejected for not being sufficiently ‘inclusive’ towards diversity; others argue that, on the contrary, liberalism is desirable because it accommodates (some level of) diversity. Moreover, it has been argued that concern for diversity should lead us to favour (say) neutralistic over perfectionist, universalistic over particularistic, participative over representative versions of liberal democracy. This paper provides a conceptual framework to situate those debates, and argues that there are two fundamental ways in which diversity constitutes a challenge to the justificatory status of liberal democracy: consistency (whereby diversity causes clashes between the prescriptions generated by normative political theories), and adequacy (whereby diversity generates a rift between our experience of what is considered valuable and what the theory treats as such).

Od przeszłości do teraźniejszości Tajwan, jako część chińskiego kręgu kulturowego, doświadczył wyraźnych zmian w rzeczywistości rodzinnej. Polityka, gospodarka, migracje i globalizacja były lub są kluczowymi czynnikami wpływającymi na rodziny. Poligamia, rozszerzona rodzina, rodzina nuklearna, rodzina transnarodowa, małżeństwa osób tej samej płci i zróżnicowana rodzina budują konteksty rodzin na Tajwanie. Te wielorodzinne formy zdają się inkryminować popularne pojęcie ‘różnorodności’, które jest artykułowane od XXI w. Wiele osób uważa, że ‘różnorodność’ może wyeliminować konflikty, ponieważ żadna część nie zostanie zignorowana; ‘różnorodność’ pokazuje tolerancję, postęp społeczeństwa. W rzeczywistości jest jednocześnie coraz więcej konfliktów i problemów wynikających z różnorodności. Jakie byłyby potencjalne przyczyny problemów? A jak te problemy i konflikty w rodzinach można rozwiązać? Podstawowe rozwiązania wydają się niełatwe do znalezienia. Od lat sześćdziesiątych XX w. koncepcje Chiary Lubich: ‘jedności’, ‘wzajemnej miłości’ i ‘modelu nowej rodziny’ rozprzestrzeniły się na Tajwanie. Jej koncepcje wpływają na nowe życie wielu rodzin. W niniejszym artykule zbadane niektóre historyczne i aktualne modele rodziny na Tajwanie, a także relacje między koncepcją ‘jedności’ Chiary Lubich a rodziną, aby zobaczyć, czy te koncepcje mogą być możliwą drogą do pogodzenia konfliktów rodzinnych i jak można by je ewentualnie zastosować w praktyce.

From the Past to the Present, Taiwan, as part of the Chinese cultural circle, has experienced distinct changes in family reality. Politics, economy, migration, and globalization have been or are the crucial factors influencing families. Polygamy, extended family, nuclear family, transnational family, same-sex marriage and diversified family construct the contexts of families in Taiwan. These multi-family forms seem to ingratiate themselves with the popular concept of ‘diversity’, which has been articulated since the 21st century. Many people think that ‘diversity’ could eliminate conflicts, because not any part will be ignored; ‘diversity’ shows tolerance and social progress. In fact, there are at the same time, increasing conflicts and problems occurring because of diversity. What would be the potential causes of problems? And how could these problems and conflicts in the families be dealt with? The core solutions seem not easy to find. Since the 1960s, Chiara Lubich’s concepts: ‘unity’, ‘mutual love’, and ‘the model of the new family’ have spread into Taiwan. Her concepts have influenced many families to live in a new way. In this paper, several historical and current family models in Taiwan as well as the relationship between Chiara Lubich’s concept of ‘unity’ and families will be explored to see whether her concepts could be a possible path to reconcile the conflicts of families, and how it could be possibly put into practice.

This paper describes the background of the Charter for Regional and Minority Languages (1992). To explain why linguistic diversity became an issue in the last decades of the 20th century, the paper goes back to the end of the 18th and the 19th century, a period in which nation building and homogenization were the main political issues in Western Europe. Since language was seen as nation binder language diversity was anathema. This led to language conflicts, which were sought to be solved by means of the Charter that promoted the acceptance of language diversity.
