Freedom, Equality and Justice in Islam
In 'Freedom, Equality and Justice in Islam', M H Kamali presents the reader with an analysis of the three concepts of freedom, equality and justice from an Islamic point of view and their manifestations in the religious, social, legal and political fields.The author discusses the evidence to be found for these concepts in the Qur'an and 'Sunna', and reviews the interpretations of the earlier schools of law.The work also looks at more recent contributions by Muslim jurists who have advanced fresh interpretations of freedom, equality and justice in the light of the changing realities of contemporary Muslim societies. 'Freedom, Equality and Justice in Islam' is part of a series dedicated to the fundamental rights and liberties in Islam and should be read in conjunction with 'The Dignity of Man: An Islamic Perspective and Freedom of Expression in Islam.'

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.

What are similarity ratios?
Similarity ratios are ratios that compare the corresponding sides of two similar figures. They help us understand the relationship between the sides of similar shapes. The ratio of corresponding sides in similar figures is always the same, which means that if you know the ratio of one pair of sides, you can use it to find the ratio of other pairs of sides. Similarity ratios are important in geometry and are used to solve problems involving similar figures.

What is the difference between similarity theorem 1 and similarity theorem 2?
Similarity theorem 1, also known as the Angle-Angle (AA) similarity theorem, states that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. On the other hand, similarity theorem 2, also known as the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) similarity theorem, states that if two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of another triangle and the included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. The main difference between the two theorems is the criteria for establishing similarity - AA theorem focuses on angle congruence, while SAS theorem focuses on both side proportionality and angle congruence.

How can one calculate the similarity factor to determine the similarity of triangles?
The similarity factor can be calculated by comparing the corresponding sides of two triangles. To do this, one can divide the length of one side of the first triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the second triangle. This process is repeated for all three pairs of corresponding sides. If the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal, then the triangles are similar, and the similarity factor will be 1. If the ratios are not equal, the similarity factor will be the ratio of the two triangles' areas.

How can the similarity factor for determining the similarity of triangles be calculated?
The similarity factor for determining the similarity of triangles can be calculated by comparing the corresponding sides of the two triangles. If the ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides of the two triangles is the same, then the triangles are similar. This ratio can be calculated by dividing the length of one side of a triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle. If all three ratios of corresponding sides are equal, then the triangles are similar. This is known as the similarity factor and is used to determine the similarity of triangles.

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.

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.

'How do you prove similarity?'
Similarity between two objects can be proven using various methods. One common method is to show that the corresponding angles of the two objects are congruent, and that the corresponding sides are in proportion to each other. Another method is to use transformations such as dilation, where one object can be scaled up or down to match the other object. Additionally, if the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides is equal, then the two objects are similar. These methods can be used to prove similarity in geometric figures such as triangles or other polygons.

What is similarity in mathematics?
In mathematics, similarity refers to the relationship between two objects or shapes that have the same shape but are not necessarily the same size. This means that the objects are proportional to each other, with corresponding angles being equal and corresponding sides being in the same ratio. Similarity is often used in geometry to compare and analyze shapes, allowing for the transfer of properties and measurements from one shape to another.

What is the similarity ratio?
The similarity ratio is a comparison of the corresponding sides of two similar figures. It is used to determine how the dimensions of one figure compare to the dimensions of another figure when they are similar. The ratio is calculated by dividing the length of a side of one figure by the length of the corresponding side of the other figure. This ratio remains constant for all pairs of corresponding sides in similar figures.
