El principal motivo es denunciar y al mismo tiempo responder a las dificultades económicas que los activistas consideran que existen para hacer efectivo, a costa del derecho a la propiedad privada, el derecho a la vivienda. El movimiento okupa agrupa gran variedad de ideologías —en ocasiones asociadas a una determinada tribu urbana— que suelen justificar sus acciones como un gesto de protesta política y social contra la especulación y para defender el derecho a la vivienda frente a las dificultades económicas o sociales. El movimiento okupa también suele defender el aprovechamiento de solares, inmuebles y espacios abandonados y su uso público como centros sociales o culturales. La legislación relativa a okupación de espacios varía mucho de un país a otro. En la mayoría de países, los propietarios legales del bien inmueble cuyos bienes resultan usurpados pueden denunciarla como un delito ordinario; mientras que existen países donde puede haber una legislación que tolere condicionadamente la okupación, o donde existen concesiones temporales por parte de los propietarios a cambio del mantenimiento o alquiler del inmueble. En Holanda, por ejemplo, sólo recientemente se ha propuesto castigar esta práctica. ». Puisqu’il n’y a que quelques résultats, les valeurs proches sont également affichées.

Gestion de l'eau + (La gestion de l'eau est l'activité qui con … La gestion de l'eau est l'activité qui consiste à protéger, planifier, développer, distribuer et gérer l'utilisation optimale des ressources en eau et des milieux aquatiques, des points de vue qualitatif et quantitatif. Ceci inclut la gestion des risques « quantitatifs » et évènements extrêmes de sécheresse et pénurie, d'inondations et de crues, érosion des sols et du trait de côte, d', notamment liés au changement climatique, à la déforestation et à la destruction des zones humides. S'y ajoute les questions de pollutions telluriques des zones côtières et des mers et océans, par les activités humaines, essentiellement charriées par les fleuves. Axée sur le développement des ressources en eau depuis les années 1970, cette activité se tourne sur leur gestion dans les années 1980 et sur la gestion intégrée des ressources en eau dans les années 1990, cette évolution traduisant la mobilisation du secteur public et privé en faveur du développement durable. En 2017, au moins 196 villes mondiales, soit 1,2 milliard de personnes (20 % de la population) sont considérées comme confrontées à des problèmes de gestion de l’eau selon le CDP (ex. : Miami, Pittsburgh (États-Unis) et Johannesburg (Afrique du Sud), qui dont confrontées à un risque « extrême » d’inondations. Les actions de gestion sont de court, moyen et long termes et pour certaines doivent concerner tout un bassin versant. Elles concernent donc de nombreux acteurs (dont collectivités publiques, entreprises agriculteurs et habitants), entités décisionnelles réunies sous le nom de gouvernance de l'eau. Dans un contexte de marchandisation l'eau est de plus en plus perçue comme une ressource naturelle précieuse et un bien commun à partager avec les autres êtres vivants de la planète ; une ressource limitée et inégalement répartie, à utiliser de manière économe et à dépolluer avant de la rendre au milieu naturel.luer avant de la rendre au milieu naturel.)
Gestion de l'eau + (La gestión del agua o la gestión de recurs … La gestión del agua o la gestión de recursos hídricos es la actividad de planificar, desarrollar, distribuir y dirigir el uso óptimo de los recursos hídricos. Es un subconjunto de la . A veces se la denomina "gestión sostenible de recursos hídricos", pero es una redundancia, porque toda gestión óptima es necesariamente sostenible. El agua es esencial para la supervivencia de los seres vivos. La gestión del agua deberá continuar adaptándose a los cambios actuales y futuros en la existencia y asignación de estos recursos. Con la creciente incertidumbre por el calentamiento mundial y con los impactos a largo plazo de las acciones de gestión, la toma de decisiones será aún más difícil. Es probable que el calentamiento mundial lleve a situaciones aún no experimentadas. En consecuencia se buscan estrategias alternativas de gestión para evitar contratiempos en la asignación de recursos hídricos. Idealmente, la planificación de los recursos hídricos debe considerar todas las demandas de agua (sanitaria, agricultura, industria, medio ambiente), que compiten entre sí por un recurso escaso. La planificación busca repartir equitativamente el agua para satisfacer todas las demandas. Al igual que en otros casos de gestión de recursos, esto rara vez resulta posible en la práctica. Uno de las mayores preocupaciones sobre los recursos hídricos es la sostenibilidad de su asignación actual y futura. Cuando el agua deviene más escasa, crece enormemente la importancia de cómo se gestiona. Encontrar un equilibrio entre lo que necesitan las personas y lo que necesita el medio ambiente es un paso importante en la sostenibilidad de los recursos hídricos.a sostenibilidad de los recursos hídricos.)
Justice sociale + (La justice sociale est une construction mo … La justice sociale est une construction morale et politique qui vise à l'égalité des droits et conçoit la nécessité d'une solidarité collective entre les personnes d'une société donnée. L'entrée correspondant à ce terme dans le Dictionnaire des sciences économiques et sociales le fait reposer théoriquement sur deux principes. Soit, un premier principe d'équité, avec lequel il ne faut pas confondre celui de justice, et qui s'entend plutôt comme le principe du « à chacun son dû ». Dans ce cas, la part individuelle revenant à celui qui bénéficie du traitement équitable doit être conforme aux attentes les plus généralement exprimées dans une société à l'égard des autres parts individuelles. Soit, un second principe, dit moral, d'une prémisse d'égalité entre tous les membres composants la société. Dans ce cas, la notion de justice sociale est essentiellement une projection vers une société plus juste, en admettant qu'il y ait toujours des injustices. On peut le voir soit comme une utopie, soit comme une démarche allant vers plus de progressisme. Ce premier partage définitoire permet de tracer plusieurs règles générales d'application de la justice sociale. La justice sociale est dite commutative quand elle est fondée sur l'idée que la pure réciprocité doit exister entre les membres et la société (chacun reçoit en contrepartie mesurée d'un effort fourni). Elle sera, en revanche, qualifiée de distributive, si elle vise à donner à chacun la part qui lui revient pour vivre décemment, en se réservant de préciser quels critères ou catégories seront utilisés pour élaborer cette distribution (économique, sociale, culturelle). Les actions ayant pour objectif de rétablir une justice sociale visent à élaborer un meilleur système de répartitions, où chaque individu a et conserve les mêmes chances de réussite tout au long des situations de sa vie d'individu. Ainsi, on parle parfois d'« égalité des chances ». Les corrections nécessaires peuvent être sociales, financières ou culturelles. La justice sociale peut aussi se définir de manière négative : est injuste ce qui n'est pas acceptable socialement. Par exemple, les inégalités de salaires entre métiers de qualifications différentes sont le plus souvent considérées comme justes, parce qu'elles sont socialement acceptées par la majorité. Il existe une distinction entre justice sociale (ou équité) et égalité. La justice sociale est aussi une notion qui évolue dans le temps, ce qui est juste socialement peut devenir injuste si le contexte change (voir sociologie de la justice sociale). Dans son ouvrage majeur Théorie de la justice de 1971, le libéral John Rawls écrit qu'une société est juste si elle respecte trois principes, dans l'ordre : 1. * garantie des libertés de base égales pour tous ; 2. * égalité des chances ; 3. * maintien des seules inégalités qui profitent aux plus défavorisés.alités qui profitent aux plus défavorisés.)
Souveraineté alimentaire + (La souveraineté alimentaire est un concept … La souveraineté alimentaire est un concept développé et présenté pour la première fois par Via Campesina lors du Sommet de l'alimentation organisé par la FAO à Rome en 1996. Il a depuis été repris et précisé par divers courants altermondialistes lors de différents Forums Sociaux Mondiaux. La souveraineté alimentaire est présentée comme un droit international qui laisse la possibilité aux populations, aux États ou aux groupes d'États de mettre en place les politiques agricoles les mieux adaptées à leurs populations sans qu'elles puissent avoir un effet négatif sur les populations d'autres pays. Elle se construit à l'origine dans l'objectif de permettre le respect des droits des paysans. La souveraineté alimentaire est donc une rupture par rapport à l'organisation actuelle des marchés agricoles mise en œuvre par l'OMC. Complémentaire du concept de sécurité alimentaire qui concerne la quantité d'aliments disponibles, l'accès des populations à ceux-ci, l'utilisation biologique des aliments et le problème de la prévention et gestion des crises, la souveraineté alimentaire accorde en plus une importance aux conditions sociales et environnementales de production des aliments. Elle prône un accès plus équitable à la terre pour les paysans pauvres, au moyen si nécessaire d'une réforme agraire et de mécanismes de sécurisation des droits d'usage du foncier. Au niveau local, les défenseurs de la souveraineté alimentaire favorisent le maintien d'une agriculture de proximité destinée en priorité à alimenter les marchés régionaux et nationaux. Les cultures vivrières et l'agriculture familiale de petite échelle sont présentées par les défenseurs de la souveraineté alimentaire comme étant d'une grande efficacité économique[réf. nécessaire], sociale[réf. nécessaire] et environnementale[réf. nécessaire], comparée à l'agriculture industrielle et les plantations de grande échelle où travaillent de nombreux salariés. La place et le rôle des femmes sont privilégiés. La souveraineté alimentaire privilégie des techniques agricoles qui favorisent l'autonomie des paysans. Elle est donc favorable à l'agriculture biologique et à l'agriculture paysanne. Elle refuse l'utilisation des plantes transgéniques en agriculture. des plantes transgéniques en agriculture.)
Sécheresse + (La sécheresse ou sècheresse \sɛʃ.ʁɛs\ défi … La sécheresse ou sècheresse \sɛʃ.ʁɛs\ définit l'état d'un environnement confronté à un manque d'eau significativement long et important pour qu'il ait des impacts sur la flore (naturelle ou cultivée), la faune (sauvage ou d'élevage) et les sociétés. Sécheresse ne doit pas être confondu avec aridité. Une région aride peut connaître des épisodes de sécheresse. Le déficit hydrique est une situation naturelle du point de vue de la variabilité climatique (par exemple, les périodes glaciaires/interglaciaires du Quaternaire, les cycles El Niño / La Niña, etc.) mais, selon certains climatologues certaines situations de déficit hydrique sont amplifiées (durée, extension spatiale, intensité) par l'émission humaine de gaz à effet de serre. Il fait suite à un déficit pluviométrique, sur de longues périodes durant lesquelles les précipitations sont anormalement faibles ou insuffisantes pour maintenir l'humidité du sol et l'hygrométrie normale de l'air. Il peut être aggravé ou expliqué par des pompages, une baisse du niveau de la nappe phréatique, l'érosion et la dégradation des sols (l'humus favorise la rétention de l'eau, la coupe à blanc de zones forestières dans la région de l'Amazonie, par exemple, entraîne rapidement la perte de cet humus essentiel à la rétention de l'eau et cause une désertification accélérée d'origine anthropique), une augmentation de l'évapotranspiration induite par des plantations consommatrices d'eau (peupliers, maïs). La sécheresse peut détruire les récoltes (partiellement ou totalement) et tuer les animaux d'élevage, et parfois sauvages. Elle devient alors un facteur de famine régionale et d'exode, souvent accompagnée de troubles sociaux voire de conflits armés en particulier dans les régions de peu de ressources économiques. La sécheresse n'est donc pas qu'un phénomène physique ou climatique objectif. C'est aussi une notion relative qui reflète l'écart entre la disponibilité de l'eau et la demande en eau de l'homme (savoir les applications agricoles – agriculture, du bétail – industrielles, domestiques de l'eau – hygiène, alimentation, lavage – dont certains usages d'une nécessité secondaire – piscine, arrosage des gazons, lavage de voiture – , etc.). Ceci rend toute définition de la sécheresse relative au contexte géopolitique et sociologique ; l'état « normal » de disponibilité de l'eau change selon les zones biogéographiques et les besoins réels ou ressentis des individus et des sociétés. La sécheresse s'initie par une sécheresse météorologique se produisent généralement lorsqu'un anticyclone s'installe durablement au-dessus d'une région à cause d'une situation de blocage. Les hautes pressions persistantes empêchent donc toute intrusion d'une perturbation atmosphérique et peuvent alors mener la région surplombée par celles-ci à une longue période de beau temps et donc avec un peu voire sans précipitations.onc avec un peu voire sans précipitations.)
Justice environnementale + (Le concept de justice environnementale app … Le concept de justice environnementale applique les théories de la justice au champ de l'environnement et de l'écologie. Il découle de la prise en compte de l'environnement et des services écosystémiques qu'il permet comme du « bien commun. » La justice environnementale peut aussi concerner les effets du dérèglement climatique ; dans ce contexte on parle parfois d'injustice et/ou de « justice climatique ». Ce concept sous-tend qu'il existe des droits sur la nature pour tous et chacun ; individus, familles, collectivités, entreprises et autres groupes humains vis-à-vis de l'environnement considéré comme bien commun, mais en échange de devoirs et d'obligations légales, et selon le PNUD repris par Fabrice Flipo (2002), « en l’absence de tierce-parties capables d’administrer une justice : les plus forts outrepassent leurs droits et échappent à leurs devoirs, constituant peu à peu de petits potentats privés. Les règles actuelles conduisent donc sans surprise à une augmentation mondiale des inégalités ».Ce concept invite donc aussi à penser et mettre en œuvre des mesures de réduction, de réparation et de compensation quand le préjudice écologique n'a pu être évité, ce qui peut parfois nécessiter ou justifier une certaine « ingérence écologique ». Ces devoirs ou obligations sont souvent regroupés dans la notion de « responsabilité sociale et environnementale », la liberté d'exploiter l'environnement s'arrêtant là où elle menace celle des autres (il y a alors obligation à ne pas surexploiter une ressource), et là où l'environnement (biodiversité, habitats naturels, diversité génétique) serait lui-même menacé par les activités humaines. La justice environnementale s’apparente in fine à une réflexion éthique sur la responsabilité et la liberté. Le cœur de l’argumentaire consiste à exposer que la souffrance est prioritaire au bien-être et que la responsabilité prime sur la liberté. La justice environnementale mérite d'être saisie via le développement socialement durable (DSD) où l’on donne une priorité aux capacités personnelles, en particulier à la capacité d’auto-contrainte de la personne sinon à sa capacité de résilience. Il en résulte une structure de capacités qui imprègne la personne, pouvant la renforcer mais aussi la fragiliser.ant la renforcer mais aussi la fragiliser.)
Développement durable + (Le développement durable (en anglais : sus … Le développement durable (en anglais : sustainable development, parfois traduit par développement soutenable) est une conception du développement qui s'inscrit dans une perspective de long terme et en intégrant les contraintes écologiques et sociales à l'économie. Selon la définition donnée dans le rapport de la Commission mondiale sur l'environnement et le développement de l'Organisation des Nations unies, dit rapport Brundtland, où cette expression est apparue pour la première fois en 1987, « le développement durable est un développement qui répond aux besoins du présent sans compromettre la capacité des générations futures de répondre aux leurs ». Cette notion s'est imposée à la suite de la prise de conscience progressive, depuis les années 1970, de la finitude écologique de la Terre, liée aux limites planétaires sur le long terme. La notion fait toutefois l'objet de , notamment de la part des tenants de la décroissance, pour lesquels cette notion reste trop liée à celle de la croissance économique, mais aussi de la part de ceux qui y voient un frein au développement.ux qui y voient un frein au développement.)
Militance + (Le militantisme est une forme d'engagement … Le militantisme est une forme d'engagement collectif à une cause de nature morale, religieuse, sociale, politique, associative ou syndicale souvent en vue de protester contre ce qui est perçu comme une injustice. Historiquement ce terme militaire issu du latin fait référence aux membres de la milice du Christ, mais son usage au vingtième siècle dérive pour décrire l'expression organisée d'une protestation d'un groupe social.sée d'une protestation d'un groupe social.)
Technosolutionnisme + (Le technosolutionnisme fait référence à la … Le technosolutionnisme fait référence à la tentative d'utiliser l'ingénierie ou la technologie pour résoudre un problème souvent créé par des technologies antérieures. Certains le définissent comme une « tentative de réparer les dommages causés à une technologie par une modification du système », qui peut impliquer une modification de technologies existantes et/ou une modification de ses procédures d'exploitation ou de maintenance. Les correctifs technologiques sont inévitables dans la technologie moderne. Il a été observé que de nombreuses technologies, bien qu'inventées et développées pour résoudre certains problèmes perçus, créent souvent d'autres problèmes dans le processus, appelés externalités . Le technosolutionnisme est l'idée que tous les problèmes peuvent trouver des solutions dans des technologies meilleures et nouvelles. Le terme est maintenant utilisé comme une expression condescendante pour décrire des solutions bon marché et rapides en utilisant des technologies inappropriées ; ces correctifs créent souvent plus de problèmes qu'ils n'en résolvent, ou donnent le sentiment qu'ils ont résolu le problème.e sentiment qu'ils ont résolu le problème.)
Eaux souterraines + (Les eaux souterraines sont toutes les eaux … Les eaux souterraines sont toutes les eaux se trouvant sous la surface du sol, dans la zone de saturation et en contact direct avec le sol ou le sous-sol. En tant que ressource naturelle vitale et plus ou moins renouvelable et parfois transfrontalières, ces eaux posent des questions juridiques particulières. C'est parfois une source de conflit inter ethnique ou entre pays. Les aquifères souterrains sont la réserve majeure (98 à 99 %)de l'eau douce exploitable sur les terres émergées. L’utilisation de l’eau souterraine se répartit de façon variable d’un pays à l’autre. Les pourcentages d’utilisation, selon les trois catégories, sont les suivants : * 65 % (0 à 97 %) pour l’irrigation; * 25 % (0 à 93 %) pour l'eau potable; * 10 % (0 à 64 %) pour l'industrie. La carte des réserves aquifères connues en 2008 (publiée par l'UNESCO) montre 273 aquifères transfrontaliers (68 en Amérique, 38 en Afrique, 65 en Europe de l'Est, 90 en Europe occidentale et 12 en Asie où le recensement n'était pas terminé). Les aquifères majeurs connus en 2008 étaient en Amérique du Sud et Afrique du Nord. Les grands aquifères d'Afrique centrale sont encore mal explorés et rarement exploitées. La multiplication des pompes électriques et petits systèmes de pompage et forage a fortement augmenté la pression sur les nappes, souvent surexploitées dans les zones habitées et de grandes cultures et parfois déjà pollués. Leur exploitation pose aussi des questions sur nos responsabilités à l'égard des générations futures ou de l'amont vers l'aval (du point de vue du sens de circulation des masses d'eau souterraines, ou de leur alimentation via les bassins versants en surface le cas échéant). Il existe des eaux fossiles non renouvelables aux échelles humaines de temps et des aquifères profonds qui ne sont que très lentement réalimentés.ui ne sont que très lentement réalimentés.)
Magna carta + (Magna Carta Libertatum (Medieval Latin for … Magna Carta Libertatum (Medieval Latin for "Great Charter of Freedoms"), commonly called Magna Carta (also Magna Charta; "Great Charter"), is a royal charter of rights agreed to by King John of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on 15 June 1215. First drafted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cardinal Stephen Langton, to make peace between the unpopular king and a group of rebel barons, it promised the protection of church rights, protection for the barons from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and limitations on feudal payments to the Crown, to be implemented through a council of 25 barons. Neither side stood behind their commitments, and the charter was annulled by Pope Innocent III, leading to the First Barons' War. After John's death, the regency government of his young son, Henry III, reissued the document in 1216, stripped of some of its more radical content, in an unsuccessful bid to build political support for their cause. At the end of the war in 1217, it formed part of the peace treaty agreed at Lambeth, where the document acquired the name "Magna Carta", to distinguish it from the smaller Charter of the Forest which was issued at the same time. Short of funds, Henry reissued the charter again in 1225 in exchange for a grant of new taxes. His son, Edward I, repeated the exercise in 1297, this time confirming it as part of England's statute law. The charter became part of English political life and was typically renewed by each monarch in turn, although as time went by and the fledgling Parliament of England passed new laws, it lost some of its practical significance. At the end of the 16th century, there was an upsurge in interest in Magna Carta. Lawyers and historians at the time believed that there was an ancient English constitution, going back to the days of the Anglo-Saxons, that protected individual English freedoms. They argued that the Norman invasion of 1066 had overthrown these rights, and that Magna Carta had been a popular attempt to restore them, making the charter an essential foundation for the contemporary powers of Parliament and legal principles such as habeas corpus. Although this historical account was badly flawed, jurists such as Sir Edward Coke used Magna Carta extensively in the early 17th century, arguing against the divine right of kings. Both James I and his son Charles I attempted to suppress the discussion of Magna Carta. The political myth of Magna Carta and its protection of ancient personal liberties persisted after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 until well into the 19th century. It influenced the early American colonists in the Thirteen Colonies and the formation of the United States Constitution, which became the supreme law of the land in the new republic of the United States. Research by Victorian historians showed that the original 1215 charter had concerned the medieval relationship between the monarch and the barons, rather than the rights of ordinary people, but the charter remained a powerful, iconic document, even after almost all of its content was repealed from the statute books in the 19th and 20th centuries. Four clauses of the original 1215 charter (1 (part), 13, 39 and 40) remain in force in England and Wales (as clauses 1, 9 and 29 of the 1297 statute). Magna Carta still forms an important symbol of liberty today, often cited by politicians and campaigners, and is held in great respect by the British and American legal communities, Lord Denning describing it as "the greatest constitutional document of all times—the foundation of the freedom of the individual against the arbitrary authority of the despot". In the 21st century, four exemplifications of the original 1215 charter remain in existence, two at the British Library, one at Lincoln Castle and one at Salisbury Cathedral. There are also a handful of the subsequent charters in public and private ownership, including copies of the 1297 charter in both the United States and Australia. Although scholars refer to the 63 numbered "clauses" of Magna Carta, this is a modern system of numbering, introduced by Sir William Blackstone in 1759; the original charter formed a single, long unbroken text. The four original 1215 charters were displayed together at the British Library for one day, 3 February 2015, to mark the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta.mark the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta.)
Informations + (News is information about current events. … News is information about current events. This may be provided through many different media: word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting, electronic communication, or through the testimony of observers and witnesses to events. News is sometimes called "hard news" to differentiate it from soft media. Common topics for news reports include war, government, politics, education, health, the environment, economy, business, fashion, entertainment, and sport, as well as quirky or unusual events. Government proclamations, concerning royal ceremonies, laws, taxes, public health, and criminals, have been dubbed news since ancient times. Technological and social developments, often driven by government communication and espionage networks, have increased the speed with which news can spread, as well as influenced its content. Throughout history, people have transported new information through oral means. Having developed in China over centuries, newspapers became established in Europe during the early modern period. In the 20th century, radio and television became an important means of transmitting news. Whilst in the 21st, the internet has also begun to play a similar role.net has also begun to play a similar role.)
Science ouverte + (Open science is the movement to make scien … Open science is the movement to make scientific research (including publications, data, physical samples, and software) and its dissemination accessible to all levels of society, amateur or professional. Open science is transparent and accessible knowledge that is shared and developed through collaborative networks. It encompasses practices such as publishing open research, campaigning for open access, encouraging scientists to practice open-notebook science (such as openly sharing data and code), broader dissemination and engagement in science and generally making it easier to publish, access and communicate scientific knowledge. Usage of the term varies substantially across disciplines, with a notable prevalence in the STEM disciplines. Open research is often used quasi-synonymously to address the gap that the denotion of "science" might have regarding an inclusion of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. The primary focus connecting all disciplines is the widespread uptake of new technologies and tools, and the underlying ecology of the production, dissemination and reception of knowledge from a research-based point-of-view. As Tennant et al. (2020) note, the term open science "implicitly seems only to regard ‘scientific’ disciplines, whereas open scholarship can be considered to include research from the Arts and Humanities, as well as the different roles and practices that researchers perform as educators and communicators, and an underlying open philosophy of sharing knowledge beyond research communities." Open science can be seen as a continuation of, rather than a revolution in, practices begun in the 17th century with the advent of the academic journal, when the societal demand for access to scientific knowledge reached a point at which it became necessary for groups of scientists to share resources with each other. In modern times there is debate about the extent to which scientific information should be shared. The conflict that led to the Open Science movement is between the desire of scientists to have access to shared resources versus the desire of individual entities to profit when other entities partake of their resources. Additionally, the status of open access and resources that are available for its promotion are likely to differ from one field of academic inquiry to another. one field of academic inquiry to another.)
P2P + (Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking … Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or workloads between peers. Peers are equally privileged, equipotent participants in the network. They are said to form a peer-to-peer network of nodes. Peers make a portion of their resources, such as processing power, disk storage or network bandwidth, directly available to other network participants, without the need for central coordination by servers or stable hosts. Peers are both suppliers and consumers of resources, in contrast to the traditional client–server model in which the consumption and supply of resources are divided. While P2P systems had previously been used in many application domains, the architecture was popularized by the file sharing system Napster, originally released in 1999. The concept has inspired new structures and philosophies in many areas of human interaction. In such social contexts, peer-to-peer as a meme refers to the egalitarian social networking that has emerged throughout society, enabled by Internet technologies in general.abled by Internet technologies in general.)
Permaculture + (Permaculture is an approach to land manage … Permaculture is an approach to land management and settlement design that adopts arrangements observed in flourishing natural ecosystems. It includes a set of design principles derived using whole-systems thinking. It applies these principles in fields such as regenerative agriculture, town planning, rewilding, and community resilience. Permaculture originally came from "permanent agriculture", but was later adjusted to mean "permanent culture", incorporating social aspects. The term was coined in 1978 by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, who formulated the concept in opposition to modern industrialized methods instead adopting a more traditional or "natural" approach to agriculture. Permaculture has many branches including ecological design, ecological engineering, regenerative design, environmental design, and construction. It also includes integrated water resources management, sustainable architecture, and regenerative and self-maintained habitat and agricultural systems modeled from natural ecosystems. Permaculture uses creative design processes based on whole-systems thinking, considering all materials and energies in flow that affect or are affected by proposed changes. In practical terms it means that before, for example, modifying overland water flow, one fully considers both upstream and downstream effects in the short and long terms. Or, when looking at a "problem", such as brushy vegetation, one considers how removing or altering it will affect soil and wildlife, and how these interacting forces would evolve over time and space. Permaculture has been criticised as being poorly defined and unscientific. Critics have pushed for less reliance on anecdote and extrapolation from ecological first principles, in favor of peer-reviewed research to substantiate productivity claims and to clarify methodology. Peter Harper from the Centre for Alternative Technology suggests that most of what passes for permaculture has no relevance to real problems.culture has no relevance to real problems.)
Santé publique + (Public health is "the science and art of p … Public health is "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities and individuals". Analyzing the determinants of health of a population and the threats it faces is the basis for public health. The public can be as small as a handful of people or as large as a village or an entire city; in the case of a pandemic it may encompass several continents. The concept of health takes into account physical, psychological, and social well-being. Public health is an interdisciplinary field. For example, epidemiology, biostatistics, social sciences and management of health services are all relevant. Other important sub-fields include environmental health, community health, behavioral health, health economics, public policy, mental health, health education, health politics, occupational safety, disability, oral health, gender issues in health, and sexual and reproductive health. Public health, together with primary care, secondary care, and tertiary care, is part of a country's overall health care system. Public health is implemented through the surveillance of cases and health indicators, and through the promotion of healthy behaviors. Common public health initiatives include promotion of hand-washing and breastfeeding, delivery of vaccinations, promoting ventilation and improved air quality both indoors and outdoors, suicide prevention, smoking cessation, obesity education, increasing healthcare accessibility and distribution of condoms to control the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. There is a significant disparity in access to health care and public health initiatives between developed countries and developing countries, as well as within developing countries. In developing countries, public health infrastructures are still forming. There may not be enough trained healthcare workers, monetary resources, or, in some cases, sufficient knowledge to provide even a basic level of medical care and disease prevention. A major public health concern in developing countries is poor maternal and child health, exacerbated by malnutrition and poverty coupled with governments' reluctance in implementing public health policies. From the beginnings of human civilization, communities promoted health and fought disease at the population level. In complex, pre-industrialized societies, interventions designed to reduce health risks could be the initiative of different stakeholders, such as army generals, the clergy or rulers. Great Britain became a leader in the development of public health initiatives, beginning in the 19th century, due to the fact that it was the first modern urban nation worldwide. The public health initiatives that began to emerge initially focused on sanitation (for example, the Liverpool and London sewerage systems), control of infectious diseases (including vaccination and quarantine) and an evolving infrastructure of various sciences, e.g. statistics, microbiology, epidemiology, sciences of engineering.gy, epidemiology, sciences of engineering.)
Recherche + (Research is "creative and systematic work … Research is "creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge". It involves the collection, organization and analysis of evidence to increase understanding of a topic, characterized by a particular attentiveness to controlling sources of bias and error. These activities are characterized by a to accounting and controlling for biases in t. A research project may be an expansion on past work in the field. To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects or the project as a whole. The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied research) are documentation, discovery, interpretation, and the research and development (R&D) of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge. Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably both within and between humanities and sciences. There are several forms of research: scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, social, business, marketing, practitioner research, life, technological, etc. The scientific study of research practices is known as meta-research. research practices is known as meta-research.)
Science + (Science is a systematic endeavor that buil … Science is a systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. Science may be as old as the human species, and some of the earliest archeological evidence for scientific reasoning is tens of thousands of years old. The earliest written records in the history of science come from Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia in around 3000 to 1200 BCE. Their contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and medicine entered and shaped Greek natural philosophy of classical antiquity, whereby formal attempts were made to provide explanations of events in the physical world based on natural causes. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, knowledge of Greek conceptions of the world deteriorated in Western Europe during the early centuries (400 to 1000 CE) of the Middle Ages, but was preserved in the Muslim world during the Islamic Golden Age and later by the efforts of Byzantine Greek scholars who brought Greek manuscripts from the dying Byzantine Empire to Western Europe in the Renaissance. The recovery and assimilation of Greek works and Islamic inquiries into Western Europe from the 10th to 13th century revived "natural philosophy", which was later transformed by the Scientific Revolution that began in the 16th century as new ideas and discoveries departed from previous Greek conceptions and traditions. The scientific method soon played a greater role in knowledge creation and it was not until the 19th century that many of the institutional and professional features of science began to take shape; along with the changing of "natural philosophy" to "natural science". Modern science is typically divided into three major branches: natural sciences (e.g., biology, chemistry, and physics), which study the physical world; the social sciences (e.g., economics, psychology, and sociology), which study individuals and societies; and the formal sciences (e.g., logic, mathematics, and theoretical computer science), which study formal systems, governed by axioms and rules. There is disagreement whether the formal sciences are science disciplines, because they do not rely on empirical evidence. Applied sciences are disciplines that use scientific knowledge for practical purposes, such as in engineering and medicine. New knowledge in science is advanced by research from scientists who are motivated by curiosity about the world and a desire to solve problems. Contemporary scientific research is highly collaborative and is usually done by teams in academic and research institutions, government agencies, and companies. The practical impact of their work has led to the emergence of science policies that seek to influence the scientific enterprise by prioritizing the ethical and moral development of commercial products, armaments, health care, public infrastructure, and environmental protection.rastructure, and environmental protection.)
Principe de subsidiarité + (Subsidiarity is a principle of social orga … Subsidiarity is a principle of social organization that holds that social and political issues should be dealt with at the most immediate or local level that is consistent with their resolution. The Oxford English Dictionary defines subsidiarity as "the principle that a central authority should have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed at a more local level". The concept is applicable in the fields of government, political science, neuropsychology, cybernetics, management and in military command (mission command). The OED adds that the term "subsidiarity" in English follows the early German usage of "Subsidiarität". More distantly, it is derived from the Latin verb subsidio (to aid or help), and the related noun subsidium (aid or assistance). The development of the concept of subsidiarity has roots in the natural law philosophy of Thomas Aquinas and was mediated by the social scientific theories of Luigi Taparelli, SJ, in his 1840–43 natural law treatise on the human person in society. In that work, Taparelli established the criteria of just social order, which he referred to as "hypotactical right" and which came to be termed subsidiarity following German influences. Another origin of the concept is in the writings of Calvinist law-philosopher Johannes Althaus who used the word "subsidia" in 1603. As a principle of just social order, it became one of the pillars of modern Catholic social teaching. Subsidiarity is a general principle of European Union law. In the United States of America, Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the constitution of the United States is known as the Supremacy Clause. This establishes that the federal constitution, and federal law generally, take precedence over state laws, and even state constitutions. The principle of States' Rights is sometimes interpreted as being established by the Tenth Amendment, which says that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."he States respectively, or to the people.")
Développement durable + (Sustainable development is an organizing p … Sustainable development is an organizing principle for meeting human development goals while also sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services on which the economy and society depend. The desired result is a state of society where living conditions and resources are used to continue to meet human needs without undermining the integrity and stability of the natural system. Sustainable development was defined in the 1987 Brundtland Report as "Development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". As the concept of sustainable development developed, it has shifted its focus more towards the economic development, social development and environmental protection for future generations. Sustainable development was first institutionalized with the Rio Process initiated at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. In 2015 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Sustainable Development Goals(2015 to 2030) and explained how the goals are integrated and indivisible to achieve sustainable development at the global level. The 17 goals address the global challenges, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. Sustainable development is interlinked with the normative concept of sustainability. UNESCO formulated a distinction between the two concepts as follows: "Sustainability is often thought of as a long-term goal (i.e. a more sustainable world), while sustainable development refers to the many processes and pathways to achieve it." The concept of sustainable development has been criticized in various ways. While some see it as paradoxical (or an oxymoron) and regard development as inherently unsustainable, others are disappointed in the lack of progress that has been achieved so far. Part of the problem is that "development" itself is not consistently defined.pment" itself is not consistently defined.)
Technologie + (Technology is the application of knowledge … Technology is the application of knowledge to reach practical goals in a specifiable and reproducible way. The word technology may also mean the product of such an endeavor. The use of technology is widely prevalent in medicine, science, industry, communication, transportation, and daily life. Technologies include physical objects like utensils or machines and intangible tools such as software. Many technological advancements have led to societal changes. The earliest known technology is the stone tool, used in the prehistoric era, followed by fire use, which contributed to the growth of the human brain and the development of language in the Ice Age. The invention of the wheel in the Bronze Age enabled wider travel and the creation of more complex machines. Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet have lowered communication barriers and ushered in the knowledge economy. While technology contributes to economic development and human prosperity, it can also have negative impacts like pollution or resource depletion, or cause social harms like technological unemployment caused by automation. As a result, philosophical and political debates have arisen over the role and use of technology, the ethics of technology, and the mitigation of technology's potential downsides. Historical and contemporary movements like neo-Luddism and anarcho-primitivism criticize technology's pervasiveness, while adherents to transhumanism and techno-progressivism actively support technological change, viewing it as emancipatory. Many negative impacts of technology can be mitigated through technological innovations like renewable energy in transportation and industry, genetically modified crops to address soil depletion, and space exploration to mitigate global catastrophic risks.ion to mitigate global catastrophic risks.)
Tourisme + (Tourism is travel for pleasure or business … Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours. The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only", as people "travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure and not less than 24 hours, business and other purposes". Tourism can be domestic (within the traveller's own country) or international, and international tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country's balance of payments. Tourism numbers declined as a result of a strong economic slowdown (the late-2000s recession) between the second half of 2008 and the end of 2009, and in consequence of the outbreak of the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, but slowly recovered until the COVID-19 pandemic put an abrupt end to the growth. The United Nations World Tourism Organization estimated that global international tourist arrivals might decrease by 58% to 78% in 2020, leading to a potential loss of US$0.9–1.2 trillion in international tourism receipts. Globally, international tourism receipts (the travel item in balance of payments) grew to US$1.03 trillion (€740 billion) in 2005, corresponding to an increase in real terms of 3.8% from 2010. International tourist arrivals surpassed the milestone of 1 billion tourists globally for the first time in 2012, emerging source markets such as China, Russia, and Brazil had significantly increased their spending over the previous decade. Global tourism accounts for c. 8% of global greenhouse-gas emissions. Emissions as well as other significant environmental and social impacts are not always beneficial to local communities and their economies. For this reason, many tourist development organizations have begun to focus on sustainable tourism to mitigate the negative effects caused by the growing impact of tourism. The United Nations World Tourism Organization emphasized these practices by promoting tourism as part of the Sustainable Development Goals, through programs like the International Year for Sustainable Tourism for Development in 2017, and programs like focusing on how SDG 8, SDG 12 and SDG 14 implicate tourism in creating a sustainable economy. Tourism has reached new dimensions with the emerging industry of space tourism as well as the current industry with cruise ships, there are many different ways of tourism.

Politiques publiques + (Une politique publique est un concept de s … Une politique publique est un concept de science politique qui désigne les « interventions d’une autorité investie de puissance publique et de légitimité gouvernementale sur un domaine spécifique de la société ou du territoire ». La sociologie politique utilise ce concept afin d'analyser l'ensemble de ces interventions dans les différentes étapes de leur mise en œuvre, aussi bien que dans leur genèse ou au travers de leurs conséquences (il est alors question de « sociologie de l’action publique »). La science administrative tend plutôt à analyser et à évaluer une politique publique en fonction de sa capacité à atteindre les objectifs qui lui ont été assignés, ainsi qu'en fonction de l'efficacité des moyens déployés. Dans ce cadre, les politiques publiques peuvent également être décrites comme « un ensemble d'actions coordonnées, réalisées par une puissance publique, dans l'optique d'obtenir une modification ou une évolution d'une situation donnée ». Étudier leur impact permet de décrire la capacité qu'a une puissance publique à gérer les attentes et les problèmes propres à la société ou au pan de société concerné(e) et à agir en fonction d'une stratégie publique, de court, moyen ou long terme.

Agriculture urbaine + (Urban agriculture, urban farming, or urban … Urban agriculture, urban farming, or urban gardening is the practice of cultivating, processing, and distributing food in or around urban areas. It encompasses a complex and diverse mix of food production activities, including fisheries and forestry, in cities in both developed and developing countries. The term also applies to urban area activities of animal husbandry, aquaculture, beekeeping, and horticulture. These activities occur in peri-urban areas as well, although peri-urban agriculture may have different characteristics. Urban agriculture can reflect varying levels of economic and social development. It may be a social movement for sustainable communities, where organic growers, "foodies", and "locavores" form social networks founded on a shared ethos of nature and community holism. These networks can evolve when receiving formal institutional support, becoming integrated into local town planning as a "transition town" movement for sustainable urban development. For others, food security, nutrition, and income generation are key motivations for the practice. In both scenarios, more direct access to fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat products through urban agriculture can improve food security and food safety.can improve food security and food safety.)

Squat + (El movimiento okupa es un movimiento socia … El movimiento okupa es un movimiento social radical que propugna la ocupación de viviendas o locales deshabitados, temporal o permanentemente, con el fin de utilizarlos como vivienda, guarida, tierras de cultivo, lugar de reunión o centros con fines sociales, políticos y culturales, entre otros. El principal motivo es denunciar y al mismo tiempo responder a las dificultades económicas que los activistas consideran que existen para hacer efectivo, a costa del derecho a la propiedad privada, el derecho a la vivienda. El movimiento okupa agrupa gran variedad de ideologías —en ocasiones asociadas a una determinada tribu urbana— que suelen justificar sus acciones como un gesto de protesta política y social contra la especulación y para defender el derecho a la vivienda frente a las dificultades económicas o sociales. El movimiento okupa también suele defender el aprovechamiento de solares, inmuebles y espacios abandonados y su uso público como centros sociales o culturales. La legislación relativa a okupación de espacios varía mucho de un país a otro. En la mayoría de países, los propietarios legales del bien inmueble cuyos bienes resultan usurpados pueden denunciarla como un delito ordinario; mientras que existen países donde puede haber una legislación que tolere condicionadamente la okupación, o donde existen concesiones temporales por parte de los propietarios a cambio del mantenimiento o alquiler del inmueble.

Communauté + (A community is a social unit (a group of l … A community is a social unit (a group of living things) with commonality such as place, norms, religion, values, customs, or identity. Communities may share a sense of place situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a country, village, town, or neighbourhood) or in virtual space through communication platforms. Durable good relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical ties also define a sense of community, important to their identity, practice, and roles in social institutions such as family, home, work, government, society, or humanity at large. Although communities are usually small relative to personal social ties, "community" may also refer to large group affiliations such as national communities, international communities, and virtual communities. The English-language word "community" derives from the Old French comuneté (Modern French: communauté), which comes from the Latin communitas "community", "public spirit" (from Latin communis, "common").

Monnaie complémentaire + (A complementary currency is a currency or … A complementary currency is a currency or medium of exchange that is not necessarily a national currency, but that is thought of as supplementing or complementing national currencies. Complementary currencies are usually not legal tender and their use is based on agreement between the parties exchanging the currency. According to Jérôme Blanc of Laboratoire d'Économie de la Firme et des Institutions, complementary currencies aim to protect, stimulate or orientate the economy. They may also be used to advance particular social, environmental, or political goals. When speaking about complementary currencies, a number of overlapping and often interchangeable terms are in use: local or community currencies are complementary currencies used within a locality or other form of community (such as business-based or online communities); regional currencies are similar to local currencies, but are used within a larger geographical region; and sectoral currencies are complementary currencies used within a single economic sector, such as education or health care. Many private currencies are complementary currencies issued by private businesses or organizations. Other terms include alternative currency, auxiliary currency, and microcurrency. Mutual credit is a form of alternative currency, and thus any form of lending that does not go through the banking system can be considered a form of alternative currency. Barters are another type of alternative currency. These are actually exchange systems, which trade only items, without the use of any currency whatsoever.

Économies du don + (A gift economy or gift culture is a system … A gift economy or gift culture is a system of exchange where valuables are not sold, but rather given without an explicit agreement for immediate or future rewards. Social norms and customs govern giving a gift in a gift culture; although there is some expectation of reciprocity, gifts are not given in an explicit exchange of goods or services for money, or some other commodity or service. This contrasts with a barter economy or a market economy, where goods and services are primarily explicitly exchanged for value received. The nature of gift economies is the subject of a foundational debate in anthropology. Anthropological research into gift economies began with Bronisław Malinowski's description of the Kula ring in the Trobriand Islands during World War I. The Kula trade appeared to be gift-like since Trobrianders would travel great distances over dangerous seas to give what were considered valuable objects without any guarantee of a return. Malinowski's debate with the French anthropologist Marcel Mauss quickly established the complexity of "gift exchange" and introduced a series of technical terms such as reciprocity, inalienable possessions, and presentation to distinguish between the different forms of exchange. According to anthropologists Maurice Bloch and Jonathan Parry, it is the unsettled relationship between market and non-market exchange that attracts the most attention. Some authors argue that gift economies build community, while markets harm community relationships. Gift exchange is distinguished from other forms of exchange by a number of principles, such as the form of property rights governing the articles exchanged; whether gifting forms a distinct "sphere of exchange" that can be characterized as an "economic system"; and the character of the social relationship that the gift exchange establishes. Gift ideology in highly commercialized societies differs from the "prestations" typical of non-market societies. Gift economies also differ from related phenomena, such as common property regimes and the exchange of non-commodified labour.nd the exchange of non-commodified labour.)

Public services are available to people within a government jurisdiction as provided directly through public sector agencies or via public financing to private businesses or voluntary organizations (or even as provided by family households, though terminology may differ depending on context). Other public services are undertaken on behalf of a government's residents or in the interest of its citizens. The term is associated with a social consensus (usually expressed through democratic elections) that certain services should be available to all, regardless of income, physical ability or mental acuity. Examples of such services include the fire brigade, police, air force, and paramedics (see also public service broadcasting). Even where public services are neither publicly provided nor publicly financed, they are usually subject to regulation going beyond that applying to most economic sectors for social and political reasons. Public policy, when made in the public's interest and with its motivations, is a type of public service. motivations, is a type of public service.)
Économie de subsistance + (A subsistence economy is an economy direct … A subsistence economy is an economy directed to basic subsistence (the provision of food, clothing, shelter) rather than to the market. Henceforth, "subsistence" is understood as supporting oneself at a minimum level. Often, the subsistence economy is moneyless and relies on natural resources to provide for basic needs through hunting, gathering, and agriculture. In a subsistence economy, economic surplus is minimal and only used to trade for basic goods, and there is no industrialization.In hunting and gathering societies, resources are often if not typically underused. In human history, before the first cities, all humans lived in a subsistence economy. As urbanization, civilization, and division of labor spread, various societies moved to other economic systems at various times. Some remain relatively unchanged, ranging from uncontacted peoples, to marginalized areas of developing countries, to some cultures that choose to retain a traditional economy. Capital can be generally defined as assets invested with the expectation that their value will increase, usually because there is the expectation of profit, rent, interest, royalties, capital gain or some other kind of return. However, this type of economy cannot usually become wealthy by virtue of the system, and instead requires further investments to stimulate economic growth. In other words, a subsistence economy only possesses enough goods to be used by a particular nation to maintain its existence and provides little to no surplus for other investments. It is common for a surplus capital to be invested in social capital such as feasting.vested in social capital such as feasting.)
Altermondialisme + (Alter-globalization (also known as alterna … Alter-globalization (also known as alternative globalization or alter-mundialization—from the French alter-mondialisation—and overlapping with the global justice movement) is a social movement whose proponents support global cooperation and interaction, but oppose what they describe as the negative effects of economic globalization, considering it to often work to the detriment of, or to not adequately promote, human values such as environmental and climate protection, economic justice, labor protection, protection of indigenous cultures, peace and civil liberties. The name may have been derived from a popular slogan of the movement, namely "another world is possible", which came out of the World Social Forum. The alter-globalization movement is a cooperative movement designed to "protest the direction and perceived negative economic, political, social, cultural and ecological consequences of neoliberal globalization". Many alter-globalists seek to avoid the "disestablishment of local economies and disastrous humanitarian consequences". Most members of this movement shun the label "anti-globalization" as pejorative and incorrect since they actively support human activity on a global scale and do not oppose economic globalization per se. Instead they see their movement as an alternative to what they term neo-liberal globalization in which international institutions (the World Trade Organization, World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the like) and major corporations devote themselves to enriching the developed world while giving little or no attention to what critics say are the detrimental effects of their actions on the people and environments of Less Developed Countries, countries whose governments are often too weak or too corrupt to resist or regulate them. This is not to be confused with proletarian internationalism as put forth by communists in that alter-globalists do not necessarily oppose the free market, but a subset of free-market practices characterized by certain business attitudes and political policies that they say often lead to violations of human rights. often lead to violations of human rights.)

Economists, historians, political economists and sociologists have adopted different perspectives in their analyses of capitalism and have recognized various forms of it in practice. These include laissez-faire or free-market capitalism, anarcho-capitalism, state capitalism and welfare capitalism. Different forms of capitalism feature varying degrees of free markets, public ownership, obstacles to free competition and state-sanctioned social policies. The degree of competition in markets and the role of intervention and regulation as well as the scope of state ownership vary across different models of capitalism. The extent to which different markets are free and the rules defining private property are matters of politics and policy. Most of the existing capitalist economies are mixed economies that combine elements of free markets with state intervention and in some cases economic planning. Market economies have existed under many forms of government and in many different times, places and cultures. Modern capitalist societies developed in Western Europe in a process that led to the Industrial Revolution. Capitalist systems with varying degrees of direct government intervention have since become dominant in the Western world and continue to spread.

Culture is often originated from or attributed to a specific region or location. Humans acquire culture through the learning processes of enculturation and socialization, which is shown by the diversity of cultures across societies. A cultural norm codifies acceptable conduct in society; it serves as a guideline for behavior, dress, language, and demeanor in a situation, which serves as a template for expectations in a social group.Accepting only a monoculture in a social group can bear risks, just as a single species can wither in the face of environmental change, for lack of functional responses to the change.Thus in military culture, valor is counted a typical behavior for an individual and duty, honor, and loyalty to the social group are counted as virtues or functional responses in the continuum of conflict. In the practice of religion, analogous attributes can be identified in a social group. Cultural change, or repositioning, is the reconstruction of a cultural concept of a society.

Confiance + (Divers philosophes, psychologues et cherch … Divers philosophes, psychologues et chercheurs en sciences sociales ont travaillé sur la notion de confiance qui, selon une définition assez largement acceptée, peut être entendue comme « un état psychologique se caractérisant par l'intention d'accepter la vulnérabilité sur la base de croyances optimistes sur les intentions (ou le comportement) d'autrui ». La confiance renvoie à l’idée que l’on peut se fier à quelqu’un ou à quelque chose. Dans l’étymologie latine, le verbe confier (du latin confidere : cum, « avec » et fidere « fier ») signifie qu’on remet quelque chose de précieux à quelqu’un, en se fiant à lui et en s’abandonnant ainsi à sa bienveillance et à sa bonne foi. Cette origine souligne les liens étroits qui existent entre la confiance, l'espoir, la foi, la fidélité, la confidence, le crédit et la croyance.

Ecotourisme + (Ecotourism is a form of tourism involving … Ecotourism is a form of tourism involving responsible travel (using sustainable transport) to natural areas, conserving the environment, and improving the well-being of the local people. Its purpose may be to educate the traveler, to provide funds for ecological conservation, to directly benefit the economic development and political empowerment of local communities, or to foster respect for different cultures and for human rights. Since the 1980s, ecotourism has been considered a critical endeavor by environmentalists, so that future generations may experience destinations relatively untouched by human intervention. Ecotourism may focus on educating travelers on local environments and natural surroundings with an eye to ecological conservation. Some include in the definition of ecotourism the effort to produce economic opportunities that make conservation of natural resources financially possible. Generally, ecotourism deals with interaction with biotic components of the natural environments. Ecotourism focuses on socially responsible travel, personal growth, and environmental sustainability. Ecotourism typically involves travel to destinations where flora, fauna, and cultural heritage are the primary attractions. Ecotourism is intended to offer tourists an insight into the impact of human beings on the environment and to foster a greater appreciation of our natural habitats. Ecotourism aims at minimal environmental impact on the areas visited. Besides fostering respect towards the natural environment, ecotourism also helps in creating socio-economic benefits for the communities of the area visited. Responsible ecotourism programs include those that minimize the negative aspects of conventional tourism on the environment and enhance the cultural integrity of local people. Therefore, in addition to evaluating environmental and cultural factors, an integral part of ecotourism is the promotion of recycling, energy efficiency, water conservation, and creation of economic opportunities for local communities. For these reasons, ecotourism often appeals to advocates of environmental and social responsibility. Many consider the term "ecotourism", like "sustainable tourism" (which is a related concept but broader), an oxymoron.

Pluralisme juridique + (El Pluralismo Jurídico hace referencia a l … El Pluralismo Jurídico hace referencia a la existencia de múltiples sistemas jurídicos en una misma área geográfica. Esta definición implica tres cosas: (i) reconocer que el derecho oficial, el derecho del estado, no es el único existente; (ii) que distintas prácticas jurídicas ( i.e. justicia indígena, justicias comunitarias) pueden ser reconocidas como distintas formas de derecho; (iii) lo anterior supone, por tanto, que el reconocimiento de soberanía que algunos estados establecen al pretender el monopolio de la fuerza jurídica, se relativiza. Pluralismo Jurídico es la coexistencia dentro un Estado de diversos conjuntos de normas jurídicas positivas en un plano de igualdad, respeto y coordinación. Machicado, Jorge El concepto de pluralismo jurídico supone una definición alternativa de derecho, pues si se adopta la definición clásica, el derecho se reduce a las normas producidas exclusivamente por el Estado. Si se acepta la noción de pluralismo jurídico, se pone en cuestión la idea del monopolio de la fuerza estatal. El pluralismo jurídico se enfrenta a escenarios de etnocentrismo, violencia, estigmatización y altas cargas de racismo; ya que si bien las fuentes plurales de su sentido son de diversas comunidades ético-políticas; es mayor la presencia en el territorio americano de fuentes étnicas, específicamente indígenas. En este mismo sentido es importante reconocer que las prácticas indígenas no son manifestaciones exclusivas de un grupo poblacional auto adscrito por su identidad cultural; sino que se reproduce además en las poblaciones denominadas como mestizas a través de sus prácticas, costumbres, actividades, en suma, su "memoria vivida y practicada", a decir de Aquiles Hervas Parra es el conjunto de manifestaciones de las relaciones practicadas y vividas en cambios generacionales que se transmiten de un grupo a otro, y que en muchos de los casos no se percibe consciencia de su existencia en el sujeto mismo. Desde una perspectiva socio-jurídica, puede entenderse como derecho cualquier conjunto de normas que regulen la conducta humana, y que sea reconocido por sus destinatarios como vinculante. Según Boaventura de Sousa Santos, cualquier orden social que de cuenta de retórica, violencia y burocracia, puede ser considerado como derecho. El comercio informal, la presencia de grupos guerrilleros o paramilitares, o la presencia de etnias o en un Estado, son algunos ejemplos de pluralismo jurídico.n algunos ejemplos de pluralismo jurídico.)
