are not as applicable as others. While Nussbaum’s list of core capabilities is decisively somewhat universally inclusive, I believe Nussbaum’s list of capabilities in its entirety fails to captivate the sense of universalness that Rawls’s “overlapping consensus” encompasses, and believe that it cannot be applied universally. While a number of Nussbaum’s core capabilities potentially applies to enough people to consider it universal, others do not fit the bill quite as well, thus tainting the universalness
one has to define the subject. Socrates says, "I've got a pretty good idea of what you're getting at, I said, it would help them care even more for the community and for one another.

Executive Summary Mattel has been criticized heavily for having to recall not once but thrice in 5 weeks 20 million toys manufactured in China with lead paint and/or loose, potentially dangerous magnets.

Understanding consensus and its role in a business As mentioned earlier in the introduction, consensus is a general agreement that is made within different groups. Consensus is another word for consent, which means to give permission. It is part of the process of decision-making where everyone within the group has a say and agrees to support a decision in the best interest of the business as a whole.

planning and clear communications, teams can work effectively and efficiently with little or no face-to-face contact. Achieving good outcomes requires that individuals with different strengths, weaknesses, and perspectives come together to arrive at consensus.

many of the different things we have been discussing in class. The jurors all took different roles throughout the movie. These different roles contributed to the communication the group had, the stages of development, and how they came up with a consensus. The first juror was the foreman. He was the task leader of the group, taking initiative to sit the people down, numbering them, and telling the jurors when they could go on breaks. This juror goes over the process and rules the men will be using
At the MIT Human Dynamics Laboratory a research study was conducted in an attempt to find out what factors make an effective team. Researcher Alex “Sandy” Pentland (2012) first sought out companies with multiple teams that were comparable, but had fluctuating performance. He then outfitted these teams with socio-metric badges. These badges, which are also known as sociometers, automatically measure face-to-face interaction, body motion, and vocal features among other things. Through multiple studies
studies.[1] In the running injury field, many researchers have noted the problem of how to define a running-related injury.[2-4] Some investigators have suggested the need for a standardised definition of running-related injury.[2, 5-7] However, a consensus has not yet been reached; thus, researchers have used different definitions in their studies.[3, 8, 9] Currently, the rates of prevalence and incidence of running injuries vary between 19% and 92%, depending on the injury definition adopted in the
