Forest bald causes of natural disasters has now become one of the serious threat to human safety and health (human security). Parties who most feel the impact of natural disasters are vulnerable populations, such as women and children. A study conducted by the London School of Economics and Political Science of the 141 countries affected by disasters in the period 1981-2002 also found a strong link between natural disasters and socio-economic status of women. Natural disaster turned out to result in a decrease in female life expectancy and increasing gender gap in society. This suggests that women turned out to be the biggest victims of various natural disasters. Consequently, there is increased poverty among women and the opening of the gap of gender inequality because women have to bear the double burden of responsibility is heavier than males. The problem, various empirical facts on the impact of natural disasters on women is not accompanied by awareness of the importance of involvi...

It is characterized by operating activities in the region has not been able to address the problems of unemployment and poverty and jittery local businessmen with government policy on ASEAN Free Trade Area / AFTA in 2010.

In other words the lack of communication between local businessmen with businessmen outside the area (national an...

This is the "intention" of Gadamer "not falling into the rut romantic" (338) operating on the basis of ontology Heidegger, a shift of the hermeneutical problem of prejudice and tradition . We know how crucial was the contribution of Heidegger renewal of contemporary hermeneutics, Gadamer that did not fail to stress the rest: "The record of Heidegger temporality of human Dasein has shown convincingly, in my opinion that understanding is not a mode of behavior in other matters, but the mode of being of Dasein itself. In that sense, the concept of hermeneutics is being implemented here. It means the basic motion of life, which is in its finitude and its historicity, and thus embraces the whole experience monde3. Before s'appartenir and can establish with the world and himself a subject to subject, man is to be, in the sense that it always-déjàl'être: not in a way as a result of reflexive awareness, but as it is a Da-sein, then a being irretrievably discard...

"Time is no longer primarily a gulf to be bridged, because it separates, but it is actually the supportive ground of process in which the present is rooted. Hence temporal distance is not something that must be overcome. This was, rather, the naive assumption of historicism, namely that we must set ourselves within the spirit of the age, and think with its ideas and its thoughts, not with our own, and thus advance towards historical objectivity. In fact the important thing is to recognise the distance in time as a positive and productive possibility of understanding. It is not a yawning abyss, but is filled with the continuity of custom and tradition, in the light of which all that is handed down presents itself to us." (Gadamer 1975: 264f.) "Understanding is not to be thought of so much as an action of one's subjectivity, but as the placing of oneself within a process of tradition, in which past and present are constantly fused." (Gadamer 1975: 258) "The ...

Hermeneutics is the art of understanding, but also a wide range of different approaches in the context of scholars such as Friedrich Schleiermacher, Wilhelm Dilthey and Martin Heidegger (Maclean 1986; see also Johnsen and Olsen, 1992: 420-423, 429f.). In this work, the important is the hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer, in his magnum opus Truth and Method (1975). Understanding interpretation as a time lag Most importantly, Gadamer has made it clear that he, hermeneutics is not a method for understanding, but an attempt "to clarify the conditions in which understanding takes place" (Gadamer 1975: 263). Under such conditions are crucial, prejudices and fore-meanings in the minds of the interpreters. Understanding is always interpretation, and it means confronting his own ideas, so that the meaning of the object can be really, talk to us (Gadamer 1975: 358). Understanding is not only a reproductive, but a very productive process, and interpretation is always changing during the...

Brain is still? The more we learn, the brain, the more this question difficult to answer. To material scientists only matter is real, nothing else. For them, mental phenomena, or what we call spirit are all products of material phenomena. Logical positivism asserts the primacy of observation in assessing the truth of the statement of facts. Arguments not on observable data are meaningless. These philosophies, separation of the mind as a non-material entity is not possible. Gregory Bateson presents his theory of the unity of mind and brain elegant, "The spirit is no longer separated from the body as the speed is independent of the matter. Or, as acceleration is independent of speed." This is in contrast to Descartes' concept or Cartesian dualism, where the observer (you) is separated from the observed (the rest of the universe). The modern description of the mind is derived from the brilliant philosophy of Max Planck. Proposed on 14 December 1900, his theory of quantum phy...

The big question remains: Who am I? What is it that makes me act? Who or what controls my actions and I do things that perpetuate my race? What is the nature of the material I? I is in me or outside me? Philosophers have long tried to answer these questions, because the man began to think, or I was created. Modern theories of science have their attack on the issue, and if we have not found the answer, we have come a long way. The spirit or soul was for a long time as an integral part of the body. The Spirit lived in different parts of our body, the most popular are the heart, as the Bible says. There was apparently no problem accepting this concept, up to about three hundred years. In the seventeenth century, Rene Descartes, who at the tender age of 24 proved to be one of the most influential philosophers. Before the time of Descartes, mind and body, and it was sacriligous to open cadaver or next one. Descartes proposed that the mind is separated from the body, and that God is the medi...
