Law Business and Society - HOME Law Business and Society Law Out of Context by Alan Watson, Law and society are closely related, though the relationship between the two is both complicated and understudied.

Dominant nations frequently impose their own laws on weaker nations, whether or not their cultures are similar. Conquered nations, after regaining freedom, often keep their ...

What will emerge from its analysis is the discovery that the concept of sin can still serve to unlock the mystery of existence, at ...

Journal Medicine Science Social - HOME Journal Medicine Science Social Research Fraud in the Behavioral and Biomedical Sciences by David J. Miller, While there is currently no official consensus as to the extent of fraud or misrepresentation in the sciences, recent estimates suggest that they may occur in as much as 12% of all scientific research conducted in North America. In an age dominated philosophically by the overarching ideal of scientific truth, and in which science plays a central role in virtually every aspect of life, research fraud, in even the minutest degree, can have only dire and far-reaching implications. Nowhere is the seriousness of scientific fraud more evident than in the behavioral and biomedical sciences--those disciplines that have the most obvious and immediate impact upon the physical and psychological health and well-being of both the individual and society. Yet, traditionally, students and practitioners in those fields have received, at best, minimal exposure to the ethical issues involved in the research endeavor. This book seeks to rectify that situation. Research Fraud in the Behavioral and Biomedical Sciences brings together contributions by specialists in psychology, ...
