Sexual Assertiveness in Mexican Homeless Female Youth: A Qualitative Approach
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024)
Castaños-Cervantes, Susana
Homeless female youth are among the most vulnerable understudied groups worldwide. They do not know their sexual rights and are denied their right to exercise them. This study qualitatively explored the sexual assertiveness of a group of Mexican homeless female youth to identify factors shaping sexual assertiveness and plausible pathways that may explain its effects. Two hundred homeless females aged 10–19 years old participated in this study. A semi-structured interview assessing dimensions of sexual assertiveness was conducted. The main findings revealed a low level of sexual assertiveness and of exercising sexual rights, a high level of sexual violence, a lack of sexual education and knowledge, and a lack of understanding of sexual rights. This study encourages the design and implementation of effective research-based programs and policies that can positively impact the sexual health of homeless female youth. ©The author ©Springer.

Assertiveness and Human Rights Origins, Exercise, Education and Duties: How Assertiveness Can Help Us Better Understand Human Rights
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024)
This chapter will explore the relationship between assertiveness and human rights. The concept of “rights” is present in many definitions of “assertiveness”, in that being assertive means standing for one’s rights in a particular manner. In that sense, the author begins by explaining the origins of the relationship between the two concepts. Afterwards, he analyses the connection between human rights and assertiveness through three aspects that help better understand both ideas: first, what it means to exercise a right; second, how assertiveness can be explained through human rights education; and lastly, he suggests that to comprehend the two ideas better, it is necessary to also think in terms of “human duties”. ©The author. ©Springer.

Tracing Classical Roots of Assertiveness: The Aristotelian Virtue
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024)
Siqueiros Fernández, José Enrique
This chapter traces the conceptual origins of assertiveness back to the Aristotelian notion of virtue: a purposive disposition, mid-point between two vices, determined by the right reason. First, it defines common and technical uses of assertiveness. Second, it justifies using Aristotle’s notion of virtue to better understand its conceptual complexity and practical training. Third, it analyses Aristotelian origins in each of the contemporary senses addressed by Peneva and Mavrodiev’s study A Historical Approach to Assertiveness: (1) as a method to diagnose and control mental illnesses, (2) as a mean of self-advocacy, (3) as a way of achieving human flourishing and, finally, (4) assertiveness as a social and professional skill. The author claims that these historical perspectives are rooted in the same moral classical principle: a virtuous disposition as understood in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics (NE), Politics (P) and Rhetoric (Rh). ©The author ©Springer.

Assertiveness: A Tool for Social Change and Shared Value
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024)
Agudín Colmenares, Mary Paz
With a systemic-qualitative approach, the author presented a proposal to begin with the implementation of an assertiveness strategy in law schools as a sort of prototype that can be adapted to other disciplines so that all professionals can be educated in a different way that will enable them to project fairer social norms on the outside. Assertiveness is a broad term whose meaning needs to be clarified for the simple onlooker. It requires the effort of self-observation to go beyond oneself and decipher this code of essence, feeling, and thought. It would be a powerful tool for social change and shared value due to its heterogeneous alignment of formulas that support the projection of a direct influence on others. ©The author ©Springer.

“I’m OK, You’re OK” Philosophy: Promoting a Culture of Respect, Equity, Justice, and Peace Through Assertiveness—An Introduction
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2024)
Castaños-Cervantes Susana
;
Assertiveness is a human right essential for belonging and cultivating a culture of peace, equity, justice, and respect. Its importance lies in fostering culturally appropriate interactions and in the ability to express clearly, confidently, and respectfully personal needs, opinions, desires, and emotions while considering and respecting the rights and perspectives of others. It is a valuable tool since it contributes to improving, among other aspects, interpersonal relationships, quality of care, work efficiency and productivity, teamwork, psychosocial well-being, and health outcomes. This chapter qualitatively analyses assertiveness as a human right and as the fundamental factor for intercultural competencies, which, in turn, help establish diverse and inclusive societies. As a result, peace, justice, and equity are settled amongst communities, and a culture of belonging, enrichment, and thriving is cultivated. It examines how education paves the way for communicating, behaving assertively, and exercising the human right to be assertive. Thus, education provides the foundation for learning to live together through assertiveness. Finally, this chapter synthesises and analyses the book to give a general overview of its content. This book will pave the way for future research on assertive rights. It will encourage studies of assertiveness as a human right and as a way of promoting a culture of respect, justice, and peace within diverse, inclusive, and culturally competent societies. ©The authors ©Springer.

Desobediencia civil la autoridad de la reflexión vs la autoridad civil
(Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 2016-06-01)
Urteaga Rodríguez, María José
¿Is civil disobedience morally justified? Throughout this paper I try to offer an affirmative answer to this question. In order to explain why civil disobedience is morally justified, I first describe some of the essential features of civil disobedience. Then I explain that the tension between civil and individual powers –which is often considered as the trigger of civil disobedience– is only in appearance. Some passages of Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals are essential for this task. Once the tension is proved to be unimportant, there is room for stating that the social and individual sources of normativity have to complement each other if civil disobedience is to be justified. As paradoxical as it may sound: Civil disobedience can only be morally justified if obedience and law are reinforced. ©Universidad Complutense de Madrid

La inquietud del yo ilustrado. El alcance de la acción humana en Spinoza
(Universidad Panamericana, 2024)
My aim in this paper is to examine some of the distinctive facets of human action in Spinoza’s philosophy and show their intrinsic connection with each other. By analyzing in detail how Spinoza addresses different aspects of human action in his main work, the Ethics, it is possible to notice that for him free human agency implies two interrelated features: on the one hand, the adequate knowledge of the causes that determine it, and, on the other hand, a growing capacity to impact with greater power the scenarios in which it takes place. Thus, in contrast with quietist and passive readings, I show in the following that the two aforementioned characteristics are part of the Spinozian philosophical conception of agency as such. By pursuing this line of thought, it is also possible to establish a link—not always noticed in the secondary literature—with some of the central lines of thought contained in the Theological-Political Treatise. In discussing these theses, I advance the idea that the Spinozian conception of human agency involves a serious readjustment of the metaphysical vision of the agent, a change in her conduct and ethical practices, and an altogether different conception of politics and religion.

The Language of Nature and Artificial Intelligence in Patient Care
(MDPI, 2023)
;
Alonso-Stuyck, Paloma
;
Given the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and the conditions of vulnerability of large sectors of the population, the question emerges: what are the ethical limits of technologies in patient care? This paper examines this question in the light of the "language of nature" and of Aristotelian causal analysis, in particular the concept of means and ends. Thus, it is possible to point out the root of the distinction between the identity of the person and the entity of any technology. Nature indicates that the person is always an end in itself. Technology, on the contrary, should only be a means to serve the person. The diversity of their respective natures also explains why their respective agencies enjoy diverse scopes. Technological operations (artificial agency, artificial intelligence) find their meaning in the results obtained through them (poiesis). Moreover, the person is capable of actions whose purpose is precisely the action itself (praxis), in which personal agency and, ultimately, the person themselves, is irreplaceable. Forgetting the distinction between what, by nature, is an end and what can only be a means is equivalent to losing sight of the instrumental nature of AI and, therefore, its specific meaning: the greatest good of the patient. It is concluded that the language of nature serves as a filter that supports the effective subordination of the use of AI to its specific purpose, the human good. The greatest contribution of this work is to draw attention to the nature of the person and technology, and about their respective agencies. In other words: listening to the language of nature, and attending to the diverse nature of the person and technology, personal agency, and artificial agency.

La tecnología como un ideal moral para el individuo
(2015)
Today, the man lives in a disenchanted world that rejects anything that involves a bond of commitment and responsibility: the values, ethics. This action has been taken as an advantage by media which promote a morality based on the subject and away from the world in which it operates. Through the theories of Charles Taylor, Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman I intend to defend in this work the theory that the media separate man in the world to make it a puppet of the technological society. © Opción: Revista de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales

El político como terapeuta del carácter. Un ensayo aristotélico
(2022)
For Plato and Aristotle, ethics is a kind of knowledge that is intrinsically practical. Just as the physician worries about taking care of the sick, the professor of ethics worries about teaching virtue. But, unlike medicine, ethics is a knowledge that involves community. The politician, according to Plato and Aristotle, must care about how virtue is taught to citizens. © 2022 Centro de Investigacion Social Avanzada. All rights reserved.
