Factors that influence health: An introduction
What factors influence our health? A lot of attention is focused on people's behaviour - their decisions to smoke, drink, over-eat and so on - with strong messages about the changes needed to become healthier. But people's behaviour is influenced by circumstances and events, friends and family, education, job prospects, income, housing and environment. In this unit we look at how these factors, these wider social determinants, work together to influence our health for good or ill.

ENS Lyon - La mondialisation du droit : vers une communauté de valeurs (Mirelille Delmas-Marty)
La mondialisation du droit renvoie-t-elle uniquement à la globalisation économique ou à l’universalisation des Droits de l’Homme, et donc à une communauté mondiale de valeurs ?
Si la réponse n’appartient pas aux seuls juristes, les pratiques juridiques ont une place nécessaire pour consolider les choix de valeurs, voire pour anticiper et former des valeurs. La notion de « crime contre l’humanité » (Nuremberg) a créé une interdiction pénale à vocation universelle,
ENS Lyon - Consentement, autonomie, égalité des sexes (Geneviève Fraisse)
La construction de la pensée de l’émancipation n’est pas seulement un acte de résistance et de subversion, mais aussi un raisonnement, une logique, une stratégie discursive. Les termes d’« autonomie », de « consentement » et d’« égalité » permettent d’éclairer la forme du débat actuel sur la controverse des sexes.
L’autonomie (être source de sa propre loi) est l'aboutissement du « devenir sujet » des femmes à la fin du XXe siècle. Pourtant, ce devenir suj
ENS Lyon - Conjuguer bien commun, aspiration à l'autonomie et refus des contraintes (M-C Jaillet)
L'individu a été longtemps encadré par des systèmes de valeurs qui donnaient du sens à sa vie. Il était inséré dans des groupes organisés : la famille, l’usine, le syndicat, le parti... Il était établi dans des lieux : le quartier, la commune, le village... Cela produisait un individu relativement sécurisé, disposant d’une place (pas toujours choisie) dans la société.
Aujourd’hui, ce système s'est désagrégé. Les relations doivent obéir au principe de la satisf
Asian Security Seminar: Building Asia's Security
As global economic and strategic weight shifts to Asia, countries in the region are considering how to protect themselves better in the uncertain strategic landscape of the twenty-first century. Alliances with the United States remain pivotal, but China is an ever more dominant presence. Faced with this, and with growing transnational threats such as terrorism, energy insecurity and infectious diseases, Asian governments are increasingly interested in multilateral security cooperation.

Tragedy of Sam (1925)
To mark the passing of Knut, the Berlin Zoo polar bear (2006-11), here's a eulogy to one of his predecessors, the London Zoo polar bear Sam, who was, as an intertitle bluntly puts it, "shot at Dawn to end his infirmities" after 24 years as one of the zoo's most popular attractions. This Topical Budget newsreel isn't so indelicate as to show the actual death - instead, it shows assorted animals and children reacting to the news. (Michael Brooke)

Looking at Learning ... Again, Part 2 Workshop 1. Behind the Design
With Philip Sadler, Ed.D. Young children are natural designers and builders, but if their interest is not fostered, it may wane as they move through the grades. This workshop focuses on the use of simple design prototypes that children are asked to improve upon in order to meet a particular challenge. You will see these design challenges in action in middle school classrooms, as well as hear teachers discuss their experiences using designs with their students.,Phil Sadler, a science education re
