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.

La inquietud del yo ilustrado. El alcance de la acción humana en Spinoza
(Universidad Panamericana. Facultad de Filosofía, 2023)
Charpenel, Eduardo
Mi objetivo en este artículo es examinar algunas de las facetas distintivas de la acción humana en la filosofía de Spinoza y mostrar su interconexión intrínseca. A través de un análisis minucioso de cómo Spinoza aborda distintos aspectos de la acción humana en su obra principal, la Ética, es posible advertir que, para él, la libre agencia humana implica dos rasgos interrelacionados: por un lado, el conocimiento adecuado de las causas que la determinan y, por otro, una creciente capacidad para incidir con mayor potencia en los escenarios en los que tiene lugar. Así, frente a las lecturas quietistas y pasivas, muestro a continuación que las dos características mencionadas forman parte de la concepción filosófica espinozista de la agencia como tal. Si se recorre esta línea de pensamiento, también es posible establecer un vínculo —no siempre advertido en la literatura secundaria— con algunas de las ideas centrales contenidas en el Tratado teológico-político. Al discutir estas tesis, presento la idea de que la concepción espinozista de la agencia humana implica un reajuste importante de la visión metafísica del agente, un cambio en su conducta y en sus prácticas éticas, y una concepción totalmente distinta de la política y la religión.

The non-aristotelian character of Aquinas's ethics : Aquinas on the passions
(Universidad Panamericana. Facultad de Filosofía, 2012)
Stump, Eleonore, 1947-
Aunque en muchas ocasiones se ha llegado a equiparar la filosofía tomista con un aristotelismo cristianizado, Eleonore Stump debilita este lugar común a través del desarrollo de las nociones de virtud y pasión dentro de la ética tomista, y comparándolas análogamente con sus contrapartes aristotélicas. La exposición de la teoría tomista de la virtud sirve como antesala para desarrollar la clasificación de las pasiones que santo Tomás presenta. Debido a sus diferentes culturas, una pagana y la otra cristiana, Aristóteles y Tomás de Aquino construyen dos aparatos teóricos diferentes dependientes de sus respectivas realidades fundamentales últimas: una metafísica no personal para el primero, y la Trinidad para el segundo. En el caso de Aquino, el perfeccionamiento de las virtudes y las pasiones no sólo depende de la racionalidad, sino que Dios juega un papel central a este respecto.

Aristotle on becoming human
(Universidad Panamericana. Facultad de Filosofía, 2012)
Baracchi, Claudia
Este ensayo se enfoca en las reflexiones de Aristóteles sobre el ser humano - sobre la humanidad no como algo dado, sino como un hecho en devenir, entendido como una tarea. Resalto el trabajo constructivo involucrado en el proceso de llegar a hacerse humano, y muestro que, lejos de una construcción en su carácter meramente técnico-mecánico, está en juego un proceso formativo que en buena medida se desenvuelve en la oscuridad y carece de guías eidéticas claras. En efecto, es a través de dicho proceso, de semejante tanteo en la oscuridad, como se puede llegar a obtener, si es que esto es posible, claridad eidética. En el análisis del extraordinario artefacto que es el ser humano, discuto cuestiones relativas a la indemostrabilidad de los primeros principios, el carácter arquitectónico de la ética y su función fundamental respecto a las demás empresas humanas incluyendo las disciplinas científicas (la ética como filosofía primera), la relación entre constitución humana y naturaleza, y problemas sobre la libertad, la autorrealización y la autosuperación.

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.

Leadership and Social Responsibility in Business
(2020)
;
Man’s action at work is not a particular issue, nor does it separate him from his being or family life, but rather work helps man to develop and unifies each of his constitutive elements. Thus, the company must see man as a whole, as an end and not as a means, to achieve what the company must seek for society, that is, the common good, and, with it, the man’s objective good. This chapter aims to demonstrate a thorough, structured way of knowing, understanding and potentiating human faculties, virtues and passions in favor of a kind of leadership that focuses more on the human person. It is framed by business’s trend of social responsibility and its current impact. In this way, social responsibility takes on a different direction and inspires workers and companies’ real commitment to the good of society. © Emerald Publishing Limited
