Abstract:

There is a vast anthropological/sociological literature on the use of folk healers in Hispanic (Mexican - American) communities. While the use of folk healers has decreased with urbanization, acculturation, and increased education, recent studies done in Dallas, Texas, show that elderly Hispanic women are familiar with, and use a variety of informal healing methods and substances for a variety of illnesses, both physical and mental. The folk-healing system is used to supplement the formal scientific one, rather than replace it. Informants seemed to have a clear idea about the point at which on

In general, the Papuan people, specifically the Lani people, cannot be separated from powerful tribal religious beliefs. The belief includes belief in the spirits of the dead, belief in objects that have authority and power overall life. It is continued to be taught from generation to generation to new generations in the scope of informal Education to inherit the values of belief and apply them in the practice of everyday life.

Abstract:

AbstractAlmost three decades after the collapse of the socialist system, numerous informal practices inherited from that period have remained deeply entrenched in the Croatian economy and society. Faced with burdensome regulations and complicated procedures, many citizens and companies opt to resolve their problems using string-pulling, bribery and undeclared work. However, there are many other informal means of conduct, which have not been given adequate attention so far. One of them is the practice of giving gratuity and gifts to medical practitioners for services that are already covered by

Abstract:

This paper examines the sacred status of Thai Buddhist monks who have been engaging with the modern secular healthcare system, which also contrasts with their monastic traditions. It questions how modern medication has affected the sacred figure of Thai monks and what is their reaction to maintain their sacred status in such a secular space? Participant observations and informal interviews have been conducted, and data are conceptualized through the ideas of the birth of the clinic and biopower proposed by Michel Foucault. It finds that the traditional healing previously played by Thai monks h

Restorative justice is a conflict resolution technique that strives to give satisfactory victim resolutions, encourage offender accountability, and address the social impact, thereby overcoming the deficiencies of the traditional criminal justice system by bringing together all the parties involved.

The metanarrations about legal concern reached an increasing role in criticizing overcompensation cases. Litigation-adversarial system is perceived as too expensive for private and public finances. Someone underlined that emphasis on communication and voluntariness renders mediation more likely to resolve disputes. Today public apology is playing a positive role in policies centered on alternative-informal dispute resolution, due to a restorative justice model. A public gesture of apology by the wrongdoer could help to prevent litigation expecially in moral or punitive damages cases. The artic

It considers the envelope as both a mechanism for coping with the limitations of biomedicine in Lithuania and a healing force that can have a direct effect on the body.

Abstract:

This chapter, to better appreciate the nature of selfhood, approaches it from several angles. First, it is viewed as part of a system (systemized, i.e., the networked psyche as informed by a systems theory approach). Second, the self is investigated as a sequential, serialized, and narratizable entity. Third, the “staginess” of the self is introduced; this dramatized angle sets the groundwork for the role-self perspective (RSP) or how one performs scripts that give life to oneself. As there is no such thing as a completely socially detached role, selves are inherently theatrical and “multi-rol

Abstract Correctional settings are analogous to neighborhoods. Neighborhood conditions are improved through community-development (capacity-expanding) efforts. The community-engagement approach offered in Chapter 8 aims to change the mix of healing and harm inside prison. The approach described is resident-centric and works with residents to create and sustain a neighborhood where residents and staff work together to reduce harm and to increase healing. Two case studies describe how community engagement could be used to transform the social environment of prisons and create a service delivery

By aligning SEL with anti-racist principles, schools can better serve students from historically marginalized communities and foster inclusive, healing-centered environments.
