Speciesistic Veganism: An Anthropocentric Argument

The paper proposes an anthropocentric argument for veganism based on a speciesistic premise that most carnists likely affirm: human flourishing should be promoted. I highlight four areas of human suffering promoted by a carnistic diet: (1) health dangers to workers (both physical and psychological), (2) economic dangers to workers, (3) physical dangers to communities around slaughterhouses, and (4) environmental dangers to communities-at-large. Consequently, one could ignore the well-being of non-human animals and nevertheless recognize significant moral failings in the current standard system of meat production

Mezbaha ve et perakende İşletmelerinde çalışan kasapların psikolojik durumlarının karşılaştırmalı olarak araştırılması

In this study we aimed to test the hypothesis that butchers have more psychological problems than any other occupation. For this purpose, we applied SCL-90-R (Symptom Check List-90 Revised) to 43 butchers working in a slaughterhouse and 39 butchers working in meat processing or packing in supermarkets, and as a control group 82 office workers. In the research, a statistical significance between butchers and the control group in that the Global Severity Index (GSI) scores (P<0.001) was found. In terms of the GSI scores, there was no significant relationship between the slaughter house workers and the supermarket workers at P<0.05. However, there were significant relationships among the somatization, anxiety, anger-hostility, and psychotism (P<0.01). As a result, when comparing the two groups, butchers, especially those who work in slaughterhouses, have higher levels of psychological disorders than the office workers

Strategic Thinking and Risk Attitude

WOS: 000444687500014In recent years, strategic thinking and risk attitude are demonstrated among the most interesting topics in strategic management literature. However, when the literature on the subject is examined, it is seen that there is not enough comprehensive correlational studies, although it is understood that there is significant logical linking between the two subjects. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationships between strategic thinking and risk attitude, to carry out a pioneering step towards filling this gap in the literature and to encourage further work. Qualitative research method will be used in the study and conceptual association will be done by analyzing the secondary sources with the document review technique
