This paper will aim to provide a meaningful, in-depth understanding of the research approach ‘Participatory Action Research’ and its conducive uses in relation to effective implementation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

the basic norms, values, and standards of being a good citizen. Modern businesses are expected to be responsible towards the community resources working toward the growth and success of both their companies and their communities. Business ethics can be examined from various new perspectives, including the perspective of the employee, the commercial enterprise, and society as a whole.

the interrelated global system of the modern world. It has developed a distinct structure, but also continues to shape the way in which states communicate and form relationships. Given this intrinsic process as a medium of international regulation in the modern world, it can be asserted that the importance of individual states is diminishing as the connections between them overcome borders (Kleingeld 2006, p. 559).

Mäori & Public Health: Ethics A discussion paper Preamble Being asked to write a paper on Mäori perspectives on Public Health ethics raises issues for me. Some years ago my research colleagues and I invited Moana Jackson to participate in a project on genetic engineering. Our first question for him was along the lines of whether Mäori had a ‘unique perspective’ on genetic engineering. It was then that we received our lesson about the use of the word ‘perspective’ (Cram, Pihama & Philip-Barbara

Durkheim's philosophies were based on the thought of ‘social facts’, defined as the norms, values, and the way society is structured. To Durkheim, men are creatures whose desires are unlimited. Other animals are content when their biological needs are fulfilled, but humans are different, because they are never satisfied with what they have. Durkheim
