Human position

recommended the elimination of the Associate Superintendent of Human Resources position. I understand that this is a cost-savings effort; however, I encourage the Board to look into alternative recommended savings options, as this position is extremely valuable and necessary in our district. The Associate Superintendent of Human Resources is responsible for a variety of tasks throughout the year. Without this position, central office staff members, including myself, would be overwhelmed with the numerous tasks and responsibilities the Associate Superintendent position currently holds. The legal responsibilities of the Associate…

Justice as Human Flourishing If enlightenment values of the seventeenth century gave us progress and modernity gassed it away in Auschwitz and blew it up in Nagasaki, then the postmodern condition leaves us fractured at best, despairing at worst. The twentieth century is a fragmented painting of the center falling out with nothing holding it together. From cubism to impressionism objects lost their form, language and phenomenon were reduced to text; ideas were broken apart and heterogeneously…

1) In examining Rawl’s theory of justice, and the supposed “original-position” which Rawls takes to be the starting point for its conception, the question becomes: “who” amongst all the diversity of human beings in the world exists in that position? Who, in other words, is ever truly at the place to begin a discourse on justice, as applies to all human beings? And in considering the contrary view of Mills to that original position—who gets left out? Who is denied access to the talking circles…

Principles in which, human beings can refer to when decisions are to be made, for instance, decisions on the constitution,…

A social contract must be created while those in the society are in what is well known as the original position. The original position declares that principles centered on the concept of justice are only valid if all member of the society agree on them free from outside influences. Rawls also introduces the concept of the veil of ignorance, which is also required for these principles to be just. The veil of ignorance is the idea that those deciding on the principle would be ignorant of both…

John Rawls in his book Justice as Fairness: A Restatement (2001) characterizes how idealized reasoners, reason in order to validate the two “principles of justice” (42) in a “basic structure” (10) leading to a “well-ordered society” (8). The idealized reasoners do some kind of calculation. With the “original position” (14) and the “veil of ignorance” (15) idealized reasoners can understand the “difference principle” (61). This is an important element of creating a well-ordered society. Mills…
