This document discusses the relationship between action research and social justice. It argues that action research and aims for social justice can be coherent in several ways. Both are concerned with action and view knowledge as provisional and revisable based on context. Key features of action research like collaboration, addressing multiple perspectives, and commitment to change can align with conceptions of social justice that emphasize redistribution, recognition of diverse groups, and ongoing efforts towards fairness. However, putting these ideals into practice through action research can be challenging, as it requires negotiating differences and agreeing on joint actions.

Constructive Controversy as a Means of Teaching
Citizens how to Engage in Political Discourse
DAVID W. JOHNSON & ROGER T. JOHNSON
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA
ABSTRACT Positive political discourse is the heart of democracy. The purposes of political discourse
include making an effective decision about the course the society should take and building a moral
bond among all members of the society. A responsibility of social sciences within a democratic society
is to provide the theory, research, and normative procedures needed to make political discourse
constructive. A theory underlying political discourse is constructive controversy. There is considerable
research that indicates controversy results in significant increases in the quality and creativity of
decision making and problem solving, the quality of relationships among citizens, and improvements
in the psychological health of the citizenry. From the validated theory, both a teaching and decision
making procedure has been developed and field tested. The theory of constructive controversy, the
supporting research, and the normative procedure provide a valid empirically based process for
political discourse.
Introduction
In a democratic society, each generation has to learn how to participate in the democratic process.
To be good citizens, individuals need to learn how to engage in collective decision making about
community and societal issues (Dalton, 2007). Collective decision making involves political
discourse. While the word ‘discourse’ has been defined in many different ways by linguists and
others (Foucault, 1970; Fairclough, 1995; Jaworski & Coupland, 1999), according to Webster’s
Dictionary (Merrian-Webster, 2003), the concept ‘discourse’ has two major meanings: (a) formal
communication of thoughts about a serious subject through words (spoken or written); and (b)
rationality or the ability to reason. ‘Political discourse’ is the formal exchange of reasoned views as
to which of several alternative courses of action should be taken to solve a societal problem. In
political discour ...

RECONCEPTUALISING GLOBAL JUSTICE IN A GLOBALISED WORLDJohn1Lorcan
The study of justice is concerned with what obligations we have to treat one another fairly, and is at play in
moral, legal and political philosophy. While philosophers have long been concerned with justice in terms
of distributive and ethical matters within sovereign states, serious debates about justice beyond the state in
the global context are a relatively new feature of political philosophy. Over the years, philosophers began
to explore what justice might look like beyond the state, transferring the principles from their domestic
justice and applying them to the international and global realms. However, by failing to undertand
domestic and global justice as distinct from one another, there is little distinguishing the underlying
assumptions between domestic and global theories, having a detrimental impact on contemporary global
justice discourse. Because global justice has been conceptualised as an extension of domestic justice,
theorists today rarely consider the unique goals, assumptions, and contexts that ought to make an account
of global justice different to any other account of justice. Using Rawls’ Law of Peoples as an example, we
see how failing to begin with a conception of global justice that is distinct from domestic or international
justice means these theories are not fit to draw conclusions about the complexities of global justice for
today’s globalised world.

Looking from a Theoretical Lens Perspective
Theory and research are interrelated in many ways: Theory frames what we look at, how we think and look at it. It provides basic concepts and directs us to the important questions. It suggests ways for us to make sense of research data. Theory enables us to connect a single study to the immense base of knowledge to which other researchers contribute. It helps a researcher see the forest instead of just a single tree. Theory increases a researcher’s awareness of interconnections and of the broader significance of data (Neuman, 1997).
Theories are, by their nature, abstract and provide a selective and one-sided account of the many-sided concrete social world. The theory allows the researcher to make links between the abstract and the concrete, the theoretical and the empirical, thought statements and observational statements etc.
Social theory informs our understanding of issues, which, in turn, assists us in making research decisions and making sense of the world. Theories play an important role in the development of the research questions and the goals of the study as well as throughout the entire process designing and engaging the research (Ravitch & Riggan, 2012).
We can examine issues of race and ethnicity, which is my point of interest through three major sociological perspectives: functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. For this discussion, I will only develop the Conflict theory as an example of a theory in Race and ethnicity.
Under conflict theory, in order to hold onto their distinctive social status, power, and possessions, privileged groups are invested in seeing that no competition for resources arises from minority groups. The powerful may even be ready to resort to extreme acts of violence against others to protect their interests. Thus, members of underprivileged groups may retaliate with violence in an attempt to improve their circumstances.
Conflict theories are often applied to inequalities of gender, social class, education, race, and ethnicity. A conflict theory perspective of U.S. history would examine the numerous past and current struggles between the white ruling class and racial and ethnic minorities, noting specific conflicts that have arisen when the dominant group perceived a threat from the minority group. In the late nineteenth century, the rising power of black Americans after the Civil War resulted in draconian Jim Crow laws that severely limited black political and social.

Debate on Peace and Political Conflicts, in the era of Globalization and Digi...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : With globalization, the integration of countries, cultures and markets generates cultural, social
and political conflicts, since people are not trapped in the particular reality and individual characteristics,
because they are part of a global community, that is, they become citizens of the world. Globalization poses very
important issues in socio-cultural terms (language, use, customs, legislation and social), economic (creation and
distribution of wealth) and political (political systems, security, and defense of borders) that can represent real
barriers to global integration, which can generate conflicts and wars.
Cultural, philosophical, and scientific changes can be seen as a reaction to the loss of faith in the ancient systems
of meaning or great narratives, which have long shaped our understanding of the world. The very notion of the
existence of truth was questioned, when the role of interpretation in understanding the truth became increasingly
apparent (the objective truth – the glass is half full, or subjective truth – the glass is half empty). Truth has
become a question of perspective shaped by a wide range of intersectional forces. This focus on the plurality and
relativity of truth(s) gave rise to many fields of critical research, including the Studies of Peace and Conflicts.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
