Democracy's Values
Democracy has been a flawed hegemony since the fall of communism.Its flexibility, its commitment to equality of representation, and its recognition of the legitimacy of opposition politics are all positive features for political institutions.But democracy has many deficiencies: it is all too easily held hostage by powerful interests; it often fails to advance social justice; and it does not cope well with a number of features of the political landscape, such as political identities, boundary disputes, and environmental crises.Although democracy is valuable it fits uneasily with other political values and is in many respects less than equal to the demands it confronts.In this volume (and its companion Democracy's Edges) prominent political theorists and social scientists present original discussions of such central issues.Democracy's Values deals with the nature and value of democracy, particularly the tensions between it and such goods as justice, equality, efficiency, and freedom.

Dynamism : The Values That Drive Innovation, Job Satisfaction, and Economic Growth
Nobel Laureate Edmund Phelps and an international group of economists argue that economic health depends on the widespread presence of certain values, in particular individualism and self-expression. Nobel Laureate Edmund Phelps has long argued that the high level of innovation in the lead nations of the West was never a result of scientific discoveries plus entrepreneurship, as Schumpeter thought.Rather, modern values—particularly the individualism, vitalism, and self-expression prevailing among the people—fueled the dynamism needed for widespread, indigenous innovation.Yet finding links between nations’ values and their dynamism was a daunting task.Now, in Dynamism, Phelps and a trio of coauthors take it on. Phelps, Raicho Bojilov, Hian Teck Hoon, and Gylfi Zoega find evidence that differences in nations’ values matter—and quite a lot.It is no accident that the most innovative countries in the West were rich in values fueling dynamism.Nor is it an accident that economic dynamism in the United States, Britain, and France has suffered as state-centered and communitarian values have moved to the fore. The authors lay out their argument in three parts.In the first two, they extract from productivity data time series on indigenous innovation, then test the thesis on the link between values and innovation to find which values are positively and which are negatively linked.In the third part, they consider the effects of robots on innovation and wages, arguing that, even though many workers may be replaced rather than helped by robots, the long-term effects may be better than we have feared.Itself a significant display of creativity and innovation, Dynamism will stand as a key statement of the cultural preconditions for a healthy society and rewarding work.

What are note values and rest values?
Note values represent the duration of a musical sound, indicating how long a note should be held or played. Rest values, on the other hand, indicate periods of silence in music, representing when no sound should be played. Both note values and rest values are essential in creating rhythmic patterns and structures in music, helping musicians to accurately interpret and perform a piece.

What are the absolute values of x-values?
The absolute value of an x-value is the distance of that value from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, and the absolute value of 3 is also 3. In other words, the absolute value of an x-value is always positive or zero.
-
What are the magnitude values of x-values?
The magnitude values of x-values represent the distance of a point on the x-axis from the origin (0,0). It is the absolute value of the x-coordinate of a point on a graph. For example, if a point has an x-value of -5, the magnitude value would be 5. This helps in determining the position of a point relative to the origin on a coordinate plane.

Values and Music Education
What values should form the foundation of music education? And once we decide on those values, how do we ensure we are acting on them?In Values and Music Education, esteemed author Estelle R.Jorgensen explores how values apply to the practice of music education.We may declare values, but they can be hard to see in action.Jorgensen examines nine quartets of related values and offers readers a roadmap for thinking constructively and critically about the values they hold.In doing so, she takes a broad view of both music and education while drawing on a wide sweep of multidisciplinary literature.Not only does Jorgensen demonstrate an analytical and dialectical philosophical approach to examining values, but she also seeks to show how theoretical and practical issues are interconnected. An important addition to the field of music education, Values and Music Education highlights values that have been forgotten or marginalized, underscores those that seem perennial, and illustrates how values can be double-edged swords.

Socratic Dialogue : Voicing Values
Giving Voice to Values is a very important tool that has helped many professionals better align what they do with what they value and believe.This book introduces the methodology of Socratic Dialogue as a complementary set of tools for creating spaces of joint reflection in which one can gain clarity about one’s values and gain the confidence to voice them effectively. Socrates’ main concern was to progressively reach a higher alignment between ideas and actions: that is, to achieve a harmony between what we think, what we say and what we do.The first step to giving voice to our values involves introspection and dialogue with others – which is how we can become aware of what we really think and value.An examined life, Socrates reminds us, is a fulfilled one.Based on the authors' more than ten years’ experience teaching Socratic Dialogue to business and law students, executives and professionals, faculty, incarcerated people and other vulnerable groups, the book provides teachers and practitioners with a roadmap to conceive, design and conduct Socratic Dialogue courses and sessions.It provides context for the method and its adaptation to the challenges of the 21st century.The book also offers guidance on how to structure a Socratic Dialogue classroom, as well as a series of tried-and-true activities and exercises, practical recommendations and testimonies of the transformative impact that dialogue courses have had on participants. The book is of prime interest to professors and educators of business ethics, as well as professional consultants working to help organizations become more responsible and introduce ethical reasoning in their decisions.It also serves as a valuable resource for social educators and practitioners in prisons and rehabilitation units, as well as teachers in primary and secondary education.

How are x-values mapped to y-values?
In mathematics, x-values are mapped to y-values through a function. A function is a rule that assigns each input value (x-value) to a unique output value (y-value). This mapping is often represented as y = f(x), where f is the function and x is the input value. When an x-value is input into the function, the corresponding y-value is the output. This mapping allows us to understand the relationship between the x-values and the y-values and how they change relative to each other.

How can empirical values be compared with literature values?
Empirical values can be compared with literature values by conducting experiments or observations to obtain the empirical values and then comparing them with values found in existing literature or research studies. This comparison can help to validate the accuracy of the empirical values and determine if they align with what is already known in the scientific community. Discrepancies between empirical and literature values can also provide insights into potential errors in the experimental methods or new discoveries that may challenge existing knowledge.

Determine the missing current values and resistance values 2.
To determine the missing current values and resistance values in a circuit, you can use Ohm's Law (V = IR) and Kirchhoff's Laws. By applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (the sum of the voltage drops in a closed loop is zero) and Kirchhoff's Current Law (the sum of currents entering a junction is equal to the sum of currents leaving the junction), you can solve for the missing values. Additionally, you can use the relationships between voltage, current, and resistance to calculate the missing values in the circuit.
