Business as a Calling – Work and the Examined Life - (USA)
Business as a Calling Work and the Examined Life Why do we work so hard at our jobs, day after day? Why is a job well done important to us? We know there is more to a career than money and prestige, but what exactly do we mean by “fulfillment”? These are old but important questions. They belong with some newly discovered ones: Why are people in business more religious than the population as a whole? What do people of business know, and what do they do, th

Patchwork 3: what we have and what's so bad about it - (USA)
I started this series with the assumption that everyone reading it would already be a hardened veteran of UR's brutal, disorienting assaults on everything that is good and decent and true. This is obviously a counterfactual. And even for many hardened veterans, I fear, the Patchwork series has proved a rough ride. Here at UR we have a very different approach from most who would like to "change the world." Rather than actually trying to market our designs, presumably by making them sound familia

Clive Thompson Explains Why We Can Count on Geeks to Rescue the Earth - (USA)
Bill Gates is now saving the world, aggressively tackling third world diseases. He's a geek -- good at thinking concretely about giant numbers. We look at the huge numbers of mass disasters, plagues or killing fields and go numb. Gates looks at them and runs the moral algorithm: Preventable death=bad; preventable death X 1 million people=1 million times as bad. More of such geeks might help us respond to today's mass tragedies.

“To build a democratic society” - (USA)
Leong Sze Hian The foundations of a democratic society, arguably, are transparency and accountability. Can we build a democratic society when there is a lack of these ? The answer is no. Whilst Singaporeans have over the years called for the government to be more accountable on various issues, perhaps the most contentious is that pertaining to our reserves. In the reports, “CDCs urged to enlist more helping hands” (ST, Jun 30) and “Temasek helps local needy” (ST, Jun 26), the number

November 24, 2008 Life on the street is tough for dogs in Iraq. And unfortunately it looks like things are going to get a lot worse before they get better. According to the Canadian Press: Baghdad authorities killed more than 200 stray dogs on Sunday, the opening day of a campaign to cull dog packs roaming the capital that was prompted by a spate of fatal attacks on residents. Three teams of veterinarians and police officers used poisoned meat and rifles to kill the animals, said Dr. Hassan Cha

Commentary Mag — The War on Philanthropy: DAVID BILLET - (USA)
Charity is said to be a virtue without compare, and yet we all know that it arouses suspicion-about the giver’s display of his generosity, the recipient’s dependency, some essential inequity that the gift only reinforces. Perhaps for this reason, Maimonides argued that the highest level of charity was not charity at all but rather helping the needy find the means by which to earn their own living.In democratic America, what charity is and what it ought to do have been redefined in this spirit fr

'Social Justice' now the goal of the United States? Social justice is the final outcome toward which the mainstream media, academia and the educational system, and the courts are moving.
