Consciousness Consciousness is hard to define, as researchers tend to describe it with the help of broad terms that usually vary from scholar to scholar. Some of them claim that it is the only phenomenon that distinguishes us from animals, while the others insist that consciousness helps humans to acknowledge the world around them.

As Sadcheva and colleagues (162) reasonably note, “the question of whether morality is an objective truth gleaned from nature or a socially constructed concept has been important in the philosophical study of ethics as well». In the editorial titled The Moral Instinct, Steven Pinker cultivates a rather controversial and ambiguous issue of human moral judgments, moral decisions/choices and moral dispositions. Thereby, the provocative nature of the author’s argument reveals itself as early as the introduction points to the blurred and seemingly inexplicable standards we evaluate the worth of particular prominent figures in terms of their compliance with moral ...

Introduction

Something that is disruptive overturns or changes the traditional way of doing things and in its place introduces an absolutely new way of doing the same old thing. Disruptive technology, therefore, can be described as a technology that displaces an established technology and in the process introduces a new groundbreaking product or service to the market (Rouse, 2014). Disruptive technology disrupts the status quo of the market, changes the way people live and work, and rearranges the pool of values. This inevitably forces other companies to either change the way that they approach their businesses or risk losing market ...

Introduction

The disaster events that have occurred in the recent past have illustrated the challenges that face metropolitan areas and states in preparing and later responding to natural disasters (Deyle & Wiedenman, 2014).

Human beings as fans of outside work is nothing new: although modern society has the technology that allows large groups of these fans to gather, there is no doubt that fandom has been around a very long time. In fact, in Don Quixote—a novel written in two separately-published parts—the author had to write in a character who was initially created by a fan of the first part of the novel (Harris and Alexander 1998). This fan-made character then denounced his claim to being the true Don Quixote, and the novel meanders on—however, this is just one ...
