Humanistic Tourism : Values, Norms and Dignity
Human dignity has experienced limited attention in tourism studies.The interlinked dimensions of dignity in tourism urgently ask for broad avenues of future research, as tourism is both an information-intensive industry and an "experience good" resulting from the relationship and co-creation processes involving hosts and guests in different political, socio-economic, cultural, and environmental contexts.These contexts play a role in how an individual’s values, norms, and experiences may be experienced in tourism. This edited book is one of the first attempts to apply to tourism a humanistic management approach entailing a re-discovery of the value of human life, dignity, and awareness of the ethical dimensions of work.The book develops awareness of the contemporary relevance of the human dignity concept to interpret and manage the weaknesses of traditional approaches to tourism and cope with the challenges and new scenarios, including the current COVID-19 pandemic crisis.It presents ethical values and norms as both foundations and vehicles to dignify tourism stakeholders’ vision and mission (policy, strategies, and practices) as well as people/tourist beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors.It grounds humanistic education as a pervasive mechanism to innovate tourism management contents and practices by offering to different targets new educational and training formats or framing differently traditional ones.Presenting both a critical and a positive approach to tourism management, the diversity of disciplinary approaches, case studies, and examples makes the book attractive to a variety of readers including tourism scholars, researchers, practitioners, and postgraduate students of management and organization disciplines.

Olympic Laws : Culture, Values, Tensions
Olympic Laws: Culture, Values, Tensions is the first book to analyse fully the Olympic legal framework and its application to the IOC and the Olympic Games through a socio-legal lens.It opens up a new window into understanding the Olympic Games across recent iterations of the Games and on to future Games. The book begins by defining the parameters of the emergent legal sub-fields of Sports Law, lex Olympica and Olympic Law, through the identification of the sources of these Olympic Laws and their underpinning norms.It then uses a series of case studies to demonstrate how lex Olympica has evolved as a means of defending the Olympic Movement from unwanted legal interventions, how Olympic Law has been created to protect the commercial rights vested in the Games, and how the legacies created by this unique category of law have a lasting impact on host cities and beyond.It concludes with a call that the IOC should recalibrate its relationships with prospective hosts and the participating athletes by requiring specific adherence to the Fundamental Principles of Olympism. This is essential reading for any student or researcher with an interest in Olympic studies, sports law, or socio-legal studies or any practising lawyer or events professional looking to better understand the impact and institutions of mega-events.

Personality, Values, Culture : An Evolutionary Approach
Humans are complex social beings. To understand human behaviour, an integrated perspective is required - one which considers both what we regularly do (our personality traits) and what motivates us (our values).Personality, Values, Culture uses an evolutionary perspective to look at the similarities and differences in personality and values across modern societies.Integrating research on personality and human values into a functional framework that highlights their underlying compatibilities (driven by shared genetic and brain mechanisms), Fischer describes how personality is shaped by the complex interplay between genes and the environment, both over the course of human evolution and within the lifespan of individuals.He proposes a gene-culture coevolution model of personality and values to explain how and why people differ around the world and how genes, economics, social conditions, and climate jointly shape personality.

Philanthropy in Democratic Societies : History, Institutions, Values
Philanthropy is everywhere. In 2013, in the United States alone, some $330 billion was recorded in giving, from large donations by the wealthy all the way down to informal giving circles.We tend to think of philanthropy as unequivocally good, but as the contributors to this book show, philanthropy is also an exercise of power. And like all forms of power, especially in a democratic society, it deserves scrutiny.Yet it rarely has been given serious attention. This book fills that gap, bringing together expert philosophers, sociologists, political scientists, historians, and legal scholars to ask fundamental and pressing questions about philanthropy’s role in democratic societies. The contributors balance empirical and normative approaches, exploring both the roles philanthropy has actually played in societies and the roles it should play.They ask a multitude of questions: When is philanthropy good or bad for democracy?How does, and should, philanthropic power interact with expectations of equal citizenship and democratic political voice?What makes the exercise of philanthropic power legitimate?What forms of private activity in the public interest should democracy promote, and what forms should it resist?Examining these and many other topics, the contributors offer a vital assessment of philanthropy at a time when its power to affect public outcomes has never been greater.

Can European culture transfer its values to other cultural circles?
European culture has a long history of influencing and being influenced by other cultures, making it possible for its values to be transferred to other cultural circles. Through colonization, trade, and globalization, European values such as democracy, human rights, and individualism have spread to various parts of the world. However, the extent to which these values are adopted and integrated into other cultural circles can vary depending on factors such as historical context, local traditions, and societal norms. Ultimately, the transfer of European cultural values to other cultural circles is a complex and ongoing process that involves both adaptation and resistance.

What are note values and rest values?
Note values represent the duration of a musical sound, indicating how long a note should be held or played. Rest values, on the other hand, indicate periods of silence in music, representing when no sound should be played. Both note values and rest values are essential in creating rhythmic patterns and structures in music, helping musicians to accurately interpret and perform a piece.

Democracy's Values
Democracy has been a flawed hegemony since the fall of communism.Its flexibility, its commitment to equality of representation, and its recognition of the legitimacy of opposition politics are all positive features for political institutions.But democracy has many deficiencies: it is all too easily held hostage by powerful interests; it often fails to advance social justice; and it does not cope well with a number of features of the political landscape, such as political identities, boundary disputes, and environmental crises.Although democracy is valuable it fits uneasily with other political values and is in many respects less than equal to the demands it confronts.In this volume (and its companion Democracy's Edges) prominent political theorists and social scientists present original discussions of such central issues.Democracy's Values deals with the nature and value of democracy, particularly the tensions between it and such goods as justice, equality, efficiency, and freedom.

What are the absolute values of x-values?
The absolute value of an x-value is the distance of that value from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, and the absolute value of 3 is also 3. In other words, the absolute value of an x-value is always positive or zero.
-
What are the magnitude values of x-values?
The magnitude values of x-values represent the distance of a point on the x-axis from the origin (0,0). It is the absolute value of the x-coordinate of a point on a graph. For example, if a point has an x-value of -5, the magnitude value would be 5. This helps in determining the position of a point relative to the origin on a coordinate plane.
-
How are x-values mapped to y-values?
In mathematics, x-values are mapped to y-values through a function. A function is a rule that assigns each input value (x-value) to a unique output value (y-value). This mapping is often represented as y = f(x), where f is the function and x is the input value. When an x-value is input into the function, the corresponding y-value is the output. This mapping allows us to understand the relationship between the x-values and the y-values and how they change relative to each other.

How can empirical values be compared with literature values?
Empirical values can be compared with literature values by conducting experiments or observations to obtain the empirical values and then comparing them with values found in existing literature or research studies. This comparison can help to validate the accuracy of the empirical values and determine if they align with what is already known in the scientific community. Discrepancies between empirical and literature values can also provide insights into potential errors in the experimental methods or new discoveries that may challenge existing knowledge.
