Caring Democracy : Markets, Equality, and Justice
A rethinking of American democracy that puts caring responsibilities at the centerAmericans now face a caring deficit: there are simply too many demands on people’s time for us to care adequately for our children, elderly people, and ourselves.At the same time, political involvement in the United States is at an all-time low, and although political life should help us to care better, people see caring as unsupported by public life and deem the concerns of politics as remote from their lives.Caring Democracy argues that we need to rethink American democracy, as well as our fundamental values and commitments, from a caring perspective.What it means to be a citizen is to be someone who takes up the challenge: how should we best allocate care responsibilities in society?Joan Tronto argues that we need to look again at how gender, race, class, and market forces misallocate caring responsibilities and think about freedom and equality from the standpoint of making caring more just.The idea that production and economic life are the most important political and human concerns ignores the reality that caring, for ourselves and others, should be the highest value that shapes how we view the economy, politics, and institutions such as schools and the family.Care is at the center of our human lives, but Tronto argues it is currently too far removed from the concerns of politics.Caring Democracy traces the reasons for this disconnection and argues for the need to make care, not economics, the central concern of democratic political life.

Play and Social Justice : Equity, Advocacy, and Opportunity
The importance of play for healthy development is undeniable.Aspects of play have been linked to the development of social skills, health and fitness, motivation, curiosity, innovation, imagination, and problem solving.Both theory and research suggest that play of various types is critical for healthy development and that playfulness is an important quality across the life span.However, opportunities to play and quality of play facilities in schools, after-school programs, childcare centers, community parks, and museums are not equitable by race, socio-economic status, and ability. And racial profiling, immigrant status, illness, and incarceration interfere with child’s play.The first section of the book defines play and social justice and describes disparities in play opportunities in childcare, schools, and communities as well as inequities in how play is interpreted.The next section describes pre-school, elementary, high school, and university programs that use play to liberate, teach, and build community as well as after-school, hospital, and community programs that help to level the playing field of opportunity.The final part of the book discusses ways to ameliorate inequities through research and advocacy.Four research methods are described that are useful for conducting studies on the amount of play children experience, attitudes toward play, and the effect of play on other variables.Finally, a child, a parent, and a teacher describe ways they tried to obtain more recess, using various methods of advocacy.The appendix provides resources indispensable for those convinced that play for all is indeed a social justice issue worthy of advocacy.

G. A. Cohen : Liberty, Justice and Equality
G. A. Cohen was one of the towering political philosophers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.His intellectual career was unusually wide-ranging, and he was celebrated internationally not only for his penetrating ideas about liberty, justice and equality, but also for his method, a highly original and influential combination of analytical philosophy and Marxism. Christine Sypnowich guides readers through the rich body of Cohen’s work.By identifying five paradoxes in his thought, she explores the origins of his interest in analytical philosophy, his engagement with the ideas of right-wing libertarianism, his critique of John Rawls’s work, his late-career turn to conservatism, and the tension between his preoccupation with individual responsibility and the idea of a socialist ethos.Sypnowich acknowledges the strengths of Cohen’s positions as well as their tensions and flaws, and presents him as a thinker of startling insight. This compelling introduction is a go-to resource for students and scholars of modern political philosophy.

"Equality before, but justice first?"
"Equality before, but justice first" suggests that while equality is important, it should not come at the expense of justice. This phrase emphasizes the need to address systemic injustices and inequalities in order to achieve true equality. It implies that simply treating everyone the same does not necessarily address the underlying issues of discrimination and oppression. Instead, it calls for prioritizing justice in order to create a more equitable society for all.

From when does cutting already belong to cutting?
Cutting already belongs to cutting from the moment the action of cutting is initiated. As soon as an object is being cut or divided, the process of cutting has begun. The act of cutting involves the separation of material or objects using a sharp tool or instrument, and this action is considered cutting from the very beginning of the process.
-
Is cutting bad?
Cutting is a harmful behavior that can have serious physical and emotional consequences. It is often used as a coping mechanism for dealing with overwhelming emotions or trauma, but it is not a healthy or effective way to manage these feelings. It is important for individuals who engage in cutting to seek help from a mental health professional to address the underlying issues and develop healthier coping strategies.
-
Is cutting unmanly?
Cutting is not inherently unmanly. The idea that certain actions or behaviors are tied to a specific gender is a social construct and can vary across different cultures and time periods. It is important to challenge these stereotypes and recognize that everyone, regardless of gender, can experience mental health struggles and may engage in self-harm as a coping mechanism. It is important to approach the topic with empathy and understanding rather than judgment.

The Feminist Legislation Project : Rewriting Laws for Gender-Based Justice
In this book, leading law academics along with lawyers, activists and others demonstrate what legislation could look like if its concern was to create justice for women. Each chapter contains a short piece of legislation – proposed in order to address a contemporary legal problem from a feminist perspective.These range across criminal law (sexual offences, Indigenous women’s experiences of criminal law, laws in relation to forced marriage, modern slavery, childcare and sentencing), civil law (aged care and housing rights, regulating the gig economy; surrogacy, gender equity in the construction industry) and constitutional law (human rights legislation, reimagining parliaments where laws are made for the benefit of women).The proposed laws are, moreover, drafted with feedback from a senior parliamentary draftsperson (providing guidance to contributors in a personal capacity), to ensure conformity with legislative rigour, as well as accompanied by an explanation of their reasons and their aims.Although the legislation is Australian-based, the issues raised by each are recognisably global, and are reflected in the legislation of most other nations. This first feminist legislation project will appeal to scholars of feminist legal studies, gender and the law, gender studies and others studying or working in relevant legal areas.

Value and Circumstance : Justice, Consent, Equality, and Law
Four values--justice, consent, equality, and collective decision in the form of law--have profoundly shaped the practice of law in the twentieth century and beyond.Value and Circumstance revisits these political and moral ideals, uncovering the relationship between value and the moment. Each of the four key subjects is explored by returning to first principles in a way that invites reflection on the nature and functions of morality itself.The author claims that there is a deep and ongoing connection (and sometimes a dialogue) between the ideal and the everyday.As such, each of those things can be fully understood, appreciated, and pursued only in partnership with the other, even in cases when that partnership is unspoken and unacknowledged. Moreover, the book argues that sound moral comprehension is immanent in experience and engagement.We learn fully what justice calls for by doing justice; learn consent properly through practising consent; learn just when, in what manner, and in what domains to pursue equality through engaging with the prevailing equalities (both secured and unsecured) of our particular times and places; and learn what law should look like only by deciding what law is to be.In this dynamic, the moral world is steadily enlarged by our ordinary engagement with it.We construct and draw upon the realm of value, to which we are accountable for our flourishing.We cannot live well with reference to the ideal alone.

What is the difference between plasma cutting and flame cutting?
Plasma cutting uses a high-velocity jet of ionized gas to melt and remove material, while flame cutting uses a high-temperature flame to heat and oxidize the material, which is then blown away by a jet of oxygen. Plasma cutting is typically faster and more precise than flame cutting, making it suitable for cutting a wider range of materials and thicknesses. Flame cutting is generally more cost-effective for thicker materials and is better suited for cutting carbon steel.

What is the difference between cutting out and cutting off?
Cutting out typically refers to removing something from a larger whole, such as cutting out a shape from a piece of paper. On the other hand, cutting off usually involves completely severing or disconnecting something from its source, like cutting off a branch from a tree. In essence, cutting out is more about isolating or extracting a specific part, while cutting off involves a more definitive separation.

Why does a cutting disc break when cutting hardened steel?
A cutting disc can break when cutting hardened steel because the steel is much harder than the disc itself. When the disc comes into contact with the hardened steel, it can cause excessive heat and pressure, leading to the disc becoming brittle and eventually breaking. Additionally, the high hardness of the steel can cause excessive wear on the cutting disc, leading to its failure. Using a cutting disc specifically designed for cutting hardened steel and ensuring proper cutting techniques can help prevent disc breakage.
