Organizational justice is a useful tool for examining the processes and outcomes of work force diversity programs. It is particularly useful for exploring the issue of justification for such programs and the reasons that majority members may have negative attitudes toward managing diversity and may resent women and minorities.

In strawson’s “Freedom and resentment”, the idea of the reactive attitudes is used to provide a corrective for an over-intellectualised picture of moral responsibility and of the moral life generally. but strawson also tells us that in reasoning with someone our attitude towards them must be reactive. taking up that thought, I suggest that strawson has provided us with a corrective for an over-...

The Water Environment Federation's elaborate effort to rename sewage sludge as "biosolids" is an example in practice of the "propaganda model" of communications, which sees its task as indoctrinating target audiences with ideas favorable to the interests of the communicators.

These motives can be contrasted with prospec...
