![]() This "veil" is one that essentially blinds people to all facts about themselves so they cannot tailor principles to their own advantage: Specifically, Rawls develops what he claims are principles of justice through the use of an artificial device he calls the Original position in which, everyone decides principles of justice from behind a veil of ignorance. Rawls belongs to the social contract tradition, although he takes a different view from that of previous thinkers. Under such constraints, Rawls believes that parties would find his favoured principles of justice to be especially attractive, winning out over varied alternatives, including utilitarian and right-wing libertarian accounts. Rawls offers a model of a fair choice situation (the original position with its veil of ignorance) within which parties would hypothetically choose mutually acceptable principles of justice. They have ends which they seek to advance, but prefer to advance them through cooperation with others on mutually acceptable terms. These parties are recognized to face moderate scarcity, and they are neither naturally altruistic nor purely egoistic. Principles of justice are sought to guide the conduct of the parties. ![]() Central to this effort is an account of the circumstances of justice, inspired by David Hume, and a fair choice situation for parties facing such circumstances, similar to some of Immanuel Kant's views. In A Theory of Justice, Rawls argues for a principled reconciliation of liberty and equality that is meant to apply to the basic structure of a well-ordered society. Finally, if there is such a beneficial inequality, this inequality should not make it harder for those without resources to occupy positions of power – for instance, public office. Secondly, inequalities – either social or economic – are only to be allowed if the worst off will be better off than they might be under an equal distribution. Together, they dictate that society should be structured so that the greatest possible amount of liberty is given to its members, limited only by the notion that the liberty of any one member shall not infringe upon that of any other member. A significant reappraisal was published in the 1985 essay " Justice as Fairness" and the 2001 book Justice as Fairness: A Restatement in which Rawls further developed his two central principles for his discussion of justice. The resultant theory was challenged and refined several times in the decades following its original publication in 1971. Rawls's theory of justice is fully a political theory of justice as opposed to other forms of justice discussed in other disciplines and contexts. The theory uses an updated form of Kantian philosophy and a variant form of conventional social contract theory. ![]() ![]() A Theory of Justice is a 1971 work of political philosophy and ethics by the philosopher John Rawls (1921–2002) in which the author attempts to provide a moral theory alternative to utilitarianism and that addresses the problem of distributive justice (the socially just distribution of goods in a society). ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ( Beat.) I suppose it’s just like me, isn’t it, y’ know when I was buyin’ dresses, keepin’ the disease covered up all the time.Educating Ritais one of playwright Willy Russell’s most well regarded works, as well as one of the most popular works for the theater of the late 20th century. But this disease, it just keeps on bein’ hidden because everyone’s caught up in the ‘Got-to-Have’ game, all runnin’ round like headless chickens chasin’ the latest got-to-have tellies an’ got-to-have cars, got-to-have garbage that leaves y’ wonderin’ why you’ve still got nothin’-even when you’ve got it. It’s like there’s this sort of disease but no one mentions it everyone behaves as though it’s normal, y’ know, inevitable, that there’s vandalism an’ violence an’ houses burnt out and wrecked by the people they were built for. But what’s…what’s stupid is that now…now that most of them have got some kind of a house an’ there is food an’ money around, they’re better off but, honest, they know they’ve got nothin’ as well-because the meanin’s all gone so there’s nothin’ to believe in. ( Beat.) Sometimes, when y’ hear the old ones tellin’ stories about the past, y’ know, about the war or when they were all strugglin’, fightin’ for food and clothes and houses, their eyes light up while they’re tellin y’ because there was some meanin’ then. Because that is when you’ve got to decide whether it’s gonna be another change of dress or a change in yourself. Y’ say, ‘Is this it? Is this the absolute maximum that I can expect from this livin’ lark?’ An’ that’s the really big moment that is. Till one day, you just stop an’ own up to yourself. An’ so y’ keep on goin’, tellin’ y’self that life is great-there’s always another club to go to, a new feller to be chasin’, a laugh an’ a joke with the girls. ’Cos there’s always something that can make y’ forget. But I’d just put the music back on or buy another dress an’ stop worryin’. But at the same time, there was always somethin’ tappin’ away in my head, tryin’ to tell me I might have got it all wrong. Not that I didn’t go along with it because I did. An’ what you’ve really got to be into are things like music an’ clothes and getting’ pissed an’ coppin’ off an’ all that kind of stuff. So y’ never admit that school could be anythin’ other than useless an’ irrelevant. Rita: By y’ mates, y’ family, by everyone. Rita: See, if I’d started takin’ school seriously then I would have had to become different from my mates an’ that’s not allowed. An’ anyway, I wouldn’t mind but it’s the aristocracy who swear more than anyone, isn’t it, they’re effing and blinding all day long with them it’s all, ‘I say, the grouse is particularly fucking lovely today although I’m afraid the spuds are a bit bollocks don’t you think?’ ( She sighs.) But y’ can’t tell them that round our way. But these stuck-up ones I meet, they think they’re royalty just because they don’t swear. But it doesn’t cause any kind of fuss with educated people though, does it? Because they know it’s only words and they don’t worry. ![]() I do it to shock them sometimes y’ know if I’m in the hairdresser’s-that’s where I work-I’ll say somethin’ like ‘I’m as fucked as a fanny on a Friday night!’ and some of the customers, they’ll have a right gob on them just ’cos I come out with something like that. But that’s because they’re ignorant it’s not their fault, I know that, but sometimes they drive me mental. See, the properly educated, they know it’s only words, don’t they? It’s only the masses who don’t understand. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sun United Way, along with funding from Arizona’s allocation of the American Rescue Plan Actįunds, are supporting the first phase of Blue Zones Activate, which is a community and By improving the Life Radius®-the area close to home where most Americans spend 90% of their lives-Blue Zones transformations have been able to improve overall population health and well-being, raise employee and student productivity, and boost economic vitality and development.ġ Sources for Data on SDOH | Social Determinants of Health | CDCĮquality Health Foundation, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Arizona, and Valley of the The Blue Zones approach focuses on the single largest determinant of health: the place people live. “Higher well-being and health are key to help the entire city of Phoenix rise from the pandemic stronger and better than before.” ![]() “Blue Zones creates meaningful and lasting change in improving health and the quality of life in communities, and we’re excited to explore innovations that create a better today and tomorrow for all residents,” said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego.

We will continue listening to our employee's input to make sure we're supporting our folks as best as possible. All told, these improvements are creating a much more equitable and modern territory assignment system for our sales force. These changes are designed to give each person a more balanced group of accounts and move away from a traditional "patch" of contiguous zip codes. In recent years, we've made changes to overhaul our territories. While we understand it can be challenging to be held accountable to specific metrics on a daily basis, we know that this is the best way one can be successful in sales. Sometimes that can look like various one-on-one conversations throughout the day, and setting sales quotas that encourage people to continually improve. ![]() That being said, the managers at Yelp are devoted to the career growth of each individual here. We agree that cold calling is not for everyone, so we strive to cultivate a positive, supportive environment where our employees can feel satisfied with their work even when they face tough calls. If you are looking to make money, - more. If you are fresh out of college or live on a lower income then you can have happiness here. The base pay is low and the way up is to stick around long enough to progress through pay levels. Every team seems to have one to two of those. They will stress you to no end and randomly feed you words during your calls unless you are a superstar. I have friends in sales so this doesn’t seem to be specific to Yelp, but these are things that taught me the role wasn’t for me. They’ll try to guilt trip you for using your pto if you aren’t at quota, and you’ll find yourself working off the clock to catch up. They’ll tell you that you changed the approach that was working for you or just read their script ( which is super corny). ![]() It’s never because your territory is bad, but always somehow your fault. Things I really didn’t like was the pressure management places on you if you miss your quota. If you have a great territory you can earn nice commission, but during territory swaps you may get a very rural area and see a big drop in deals closed. You must hit your numbers and closing enough deals to support a decent lifestyle in my opinion is difficult from month to month. You’ll lose the majority of your team within 6 months and training managers are usually great people but bad managers since they are learning as well.
