ellauri066.html on line 506: Justice-based schadenfreude comes from seeing that behavior seen as immoral or "bad" is punished. It is the pleasure associated with seeing a "bad" person being harmed or receiving retribution. Schadenfreude is experienced here because it makes people feel that fairness has been restored for a previously un-punished wrong.

This is a personality measure of sincerity, fairness, greed avoidance, and modesty. This suggests that victim signalers may be greedier and less honest than those who do not signal victimhood.
ellauri097.html on line 298: In 2006, the Weekend Australian newspaper conducted an experiment. They submitted chapter three of The Eye of the Storm (1973) to twelve publishers and agents around Australia under an anagram of White’s name, Wraith Picket. Nobody offered to publish the book. One responded, “the sample chapter, while reply (sic) with energy and feeling, does not give evidence that the work is yet of a publishable quality.” Notwithstanding that the chapter was not White’s finest writing, and the unfairness of submitting a chapter out of narrative sequence, the hoax prompted a minor crisis in Australian literature: if the industry couldn’t recognize the greatness of our sole Nobel winner, how unenlightened must the country’s publishing industry be now? Shortly thereafter, the ABC launched an online portal called Why Bother With Patrick White? The portal always struck me as sad. What other major writer would need a website dedicated to convincing his countrymen to give him another go? The link to the website is dead now. It would seem, in the end, that nobody could be bothered with Patrick White.
ellauri100.html on line 291: Finally, I am strongly inclined toward justice. And I mean justice, not “fairness”, which is an excuse for leveling. True justice consists of two things, and only two things: the enforcement of voluntary, mutual obligations, and the punishment of wrongdoing. (Why the enforcement if the obligations are voluntary? Ever think they might be only kinda semi-voluntary?)
ellauri100.html on line 421: The scale is a measure of your reliance on and endorsement of five psychological foundations of morality that seem to be found across cultures. Each of the two parts of the scale contained three questions related to each foundation: 1) harm/care, 2) fairness/reciprocity (including issues of rights), 3) ingroup/loyalty, 4) authority/respect, and 5) purity/sanctity.
ellauri100.html on line 423: The idea behind the scale is that human morality is the result of biological and cultural evolutionary processes that made human beings very sensitive to many different (and often competing) issues. Some of these issues are about treating other individuals well (the first two foundations – harm and fairness). Other issues are about how to be a good member of a group or supporter of social order and tradition (the last three foundations). Haidt and Graham have found that political liberals generally place a higher value on the first two foundations; they are very concerned about issues of harm and fairness (including issues of inequality and exploitation). Political conservatives care about harm and fairness too, but they generally score slightly lower on those scale items. The big difference between liberals and conservatives seems to be that conservatives score slightly higher on the ingroup/loyalty foundation, and much higher on the authority/respect and purity/sanctity foundations.
ellauri159.html on line 1171: We know you have no great love for facts and details. Leave enough time at the end to check that you’ve included sufficient objective data. Strive for balance and fairness, include both facts and alternative facts. Avoid over-reliance on personal insight. Ask a trusted friend to review your writing with a critical eye. Your work will be stronger for it. And, WtF, you can always just ignore them.
ellauri189.html on line 458: We promise to manage our business with honesty and fairness. At SEACRET, we aro fully committed to uncompromising integrity in overything we do. We maintain a philosophy of transparency in every aspect of business ethics. Exepting income and taxes, of course.
ellauri189.html on line 461: Aivan hirveätä scheissea! Kun kuulen sanan "lupaus", tai globaalixi "I promise", tai edes sanat "rehellisyys ja reiluus", globaalixi "honesty and fairness", poistan varmistimen ydinlatauxesta. Voi olla varma että nyt on tulossa jotain aivan hirveätä paskaa, apinaa koijataan rankasti toisten apinoiden taholta. Näitä sanoja hokevat vain sellaiset, joille ne on nokkelaa ansaintalogiikkaa eli siitä puhe mistä puute.
ellauri219.html on line 599: Pope Benedict’s basic answer is that, although modern principles of political freedom, democracy, equality, and reasonable argument are to be affirmed, a free state rests on “pre-political moral foundations,” which serve as normative points of reference for every regime and must be held in common by all religions and secular world-views. This answer reflects the fact that Pope Benedict disagrees with Rawls on at least two fundamental issues, which constitute the core of the debate between them and to which I shall refer regularly in the course of my analysis. In the first place, Pope Benedict does not share Rawls’s trust in fundamental human reasonableness as a guarantee for political fairness. For Rawls, persons are reasonable when they are ready to propose principles and standards as fair terms of cooperation and to abide by them willingly, given the assurance that others will likewise do so. Those norms they view as reasonable for everyone to accept and therefore as justifiable to them; and they are ready to discuss the fair terms that others propose.
xxx/ellauri193.html on line 422: But I (i.e. Mervin Aubespin) did not agree and stood up and said that the newspapers I was familiar did no such thing. That freedom of the press was a reality in the United States and if you didn't like what was printed there were ways to voice your opinion without penalty. I also warned about the unfairness of painting whole groups of people with one brush.
xxx/ellauri224.html on line 126: It received generally positive reviews from crickets, but it also generated intense controversy here on the right side of the puddle, including disputes over its fairness to Bush. The film became the highest-grossing documentary of its time (later surpassed by Michael Jackson's extremely important This Is It), grossing over $220 million. So it can't be all wrong!
xxx/ellauri442.html on line 366: The resulting framework is known as the VIA classification and comprises 24 positive traits, that is, character strengths, which are assumed to reflect in six broad domains of virtuous conduct. The 24 character strengths comprise (arranged according to their assigned virtues): creativity, curiosity, judgment, love-of-learning, and perspective (virtue of wisdom), bravery, honesty, perseverance, and zest (virtue of courage), kindness, love, and social intelligence (virtue of humanity), fairness, leadership, and teamwork (virtue of justice), forgiveness, humility, prudence, and self-regulation (virtue of temperance), and appreciation of beauty, gratitude, hope, humor, and spirituality (virtue of transcendence).
xxx/ellauri442.html on line 389: Kindness and honesty rule first, (27-36 years), then love and leadership (37-46 years), and finally gratitude and love of learning (47-57 years). The virtues of humanity and justice were shown to increase slightly over time, with girls superseding boys in all six virtues at every measurement interval. The only strengths that did not show significant genetic effects were teamwork, humility, and humor (immigrants). Seven character strengths (e.g., gratitude, hope, kindness, leadership, love, spirituality, and teamwork) showed significant increases two months after September 11 in an U.S. American sample with effects that lingered ten months afterward. Moreover, the European Football Championship (Euro 2008) seems to have at least provisionally affected the endorsement of character strengths honesty, fairness, humility, and spirituality during and after the event, as measured by answers to silly questionnaires (https://www.charakterstaerken.org/):
