The actual definitions of those "values" flip dramatically depending on who controls the White House. Democrat-led Administrations tended to condition foreign assistance and partnerships on compliance with environmental standards, climate goals (e.g., Paris Agreement targets), diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and explicit LGBTQ+/gender rights protections.
Republican/Trump Administrations: Systematically roll back or outright ban those specific grant conditions. Instead, aid and diplomatic alignment are often conditioned on different sets of ideological or policy priorities—such as restricting access to foreign funding for reproductive health/abortion providers (e.g., the Mexico City Policy/Global Gag Rule), prioritizing border enforcement/migration controls, deregulation, fossil fuel development, and restricting diversity or ESG programs abroad.

Public lecture with reception on the World Day of Philosophy with a greeting by Rector Prof. Dr. Thomas Puhl by Mannheim University. The lecture will focus on the question of how far individuals must or should feel obliged to contribute to climate protection. Hold on to your pants!

For one evening, our Old Earth is transformed into a long philosophical trail made up of the narrating voices of the young and old students of our schools. They will demonstrate, with their words, how the protection of the Environment, health, human rights, enshrined in the 2030 Agenda, are needs expressed by both ancient philosophers and current thinkers. Moreover, walking through the small streets that represent our historical heritage, we could be pervaded by those cultural values that identify us and inspire the desire to be more responsible.
xxx/ellauri165.html on line 354: Nelson had been offered the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet, and they rushed to have Horatia christened at Marylebone Parish Church before he left. On her baptism record, her name was recorded as Horatia Nelson Thompson, and her date of birth falsely recorded as 29 October 1800 in order to continue the pretence that she had been born in Naples and was godchild of Emma and Nelson, according to Kate Williams and based on an unpublished letter; however the only publicly available transcription of the record shows 29 October 1801. Nelson later wrote a letter explaining that the child was an orphan "left to his care and protection" in Naples.
xxx/ellauri169.html on line 205: Group members practice prayers, affirmations, mantras and a dynamic form of prayer known as "decrees". These serve many purposes: devotion, calling on angels for protection, calling forth the light of God on the earth, praying for healing, for wisdom, seeking to know God's will and for the transmutation of negative karma. One of the most important uses of decrees is to invoke the violet flame, claimed to be the most effective method of balancing karma built up in the past. The doctrine of the Seven Rays is also taught, as well as teachings about the chakras and reincarnation.
xxx/ellauri173.html on line 123: The standard line is that the 'deus' is Octavian. Interpretations of the First Eclogue have now come full circle. Much significant scholarship has centered around the problems inherent in an identification of the deus with Octavian. Some critics maintain that the poem is Virgil's thank-offering to Octavian for protection from land confiscation; others, though fewer in number, are equally as insistent that the eclogue expresses the poet's disapproval of his government´s land policy. A recent attempt has been made to unite the basic arguments of both sides into a more balanced statement. According to this interpretation Octavian is regarded as "having wrought both good and evil" in the past, but Virgil succeeds in revealing him to be "a savior, a force for good, and a source of hope for the future." To the contrary, I propose that an even stronger case can, and ought, be made that, in the First Eclogue, Virgil not only condemns the government land policy, but he also adroitly queries the very structure of Octavian's political program and ethic during this period.
xxx/ellauri187.html on line 288: In the 13th century, the Dominican Doctor of the Church Thomas Aquinas discussed the necessity of the presence of Joseph in the plan of the Incarnation for if Mary had not been married, her fellow Jews would have stoned her to death and that a young Jesus needed the care and protection of a human father figure. The Josephology of Aquinas often proceeded with the juxtaposition of Joseph and Mary.
xxx/ellauri187.html on line 294: From the 16th century onwards, a number of Catholic saints prayed to Saint Joseph, invoked his help and protection and encouraged others to do so. In Introduction to the Devout Life Francis de Sales included Joseph along with the Virgin Mary as saints to be invoked during prayers following an examination of conscience. Teresa of Avila attributed her recovery of health to Joseph and recommended him as an advocate. In her biography The Story of a Soul, Thérèse of Lisieux stated that for a period of time, she prayed every day to "Saint Joseph, Father and Protector of Virgins..." and felt safe from danger as a result. The three mentioned in this paragraph were all Doctors of the Church.
xxx/ellauri215.html on line 384: Countries that were not members could partner with them, like Finland. There was also close partnership with the Russian council in NATO, so there was this cooperation. NATO enlargement took place because Soviet satellites during the cold war wanted to get that extra protection and for fully understandable reason, what with Reagan's plans for Star Wars. But that expansion was not aggressive. NATO has never attacked another country. Iraq, Libya, Sudan etc etc did not involve NATO in the least.
xxx/ellauri230.html on line 230: The Dalai Lama fled to Urga (aka Ulan Bator) in Mongolia along with Dorzhiev. From there, Dorzhiev left for St Petersburg again in March 1905, hoping that Russian government could take Tibet under its protection from British and China. However, after the catastrophic defeat in Russo-Japanese war, Czar’s government could not offer any kind of assistance to Tibet in this historical turbulent time. Meantime, the dramatic rise of Germany in Europe since 1900s eventually led both Russia and Britain to come closer and to settle down their century long Great Game in Central Asia. Anglo-Russian Convention was signed at last by both sides on 31 August 1907, recognizing China’s claim for suzerainty over Tibet. Moreover, the convention also engaged to respect the territorial integrity of Tibet and abstain from all interference in her internal administration.
xxx/ellauri237.html on line 700: Under the influence of the free market-oriented "Chicago Boys", Pinochet's military government implemented economic liberalization following neoliberalism, including currency stabilization, removed tariff protections for local industry, banned trade unions, and privatized social security and hundreds of state-owned enterprises. Some of the government properties were sold below market price to politically connected buyers, including Pinochet's own son-in-law. The regime used censorship of entertainment as a way to reward supporters of the regime and punish opponents. These policies produced high economic growth, but critics state that economic inequality dramatically increased and attribute the devastating effects of the 1982 monetary crisis on the Chilean economy to these policies.
xxx/ellauri450.html on line 492: Dobson views marriage as a transaction in which women exchange sex for protection. The same goes for daughters. James Dobson, Dare to Discipline (1970). There is no issue today that is more significant to our culture than the defense of the family. Not even the war on terror eclipses it. Dobson opposes sex education curricula that are not dad-only.
xxx/ellauri467.html on line 907: Racism and racialism. Racism had a significant presence in American history throughout the 18th, 19th, and early to mid 20th centuries. However, following the emancipation of Black slaves after the American Civil War and the civil rights movements of the 1950s and 1960s, Americans of all races achieved the same freedoms and legal protections as the white-majority population, and discrimination against people of minority races due to their race is now illegal - though examples of racial discrimination do continue into the present, they are statistically rare. In a 2017 survey, 58% of Americans are concerned about structural racism.
xxx/ellauri482.html on line 541: Scented unguents, as described in Purana, are perfumed substances for personal anointment, especially when combined with Tulasi, offering protection from sin and defilement. In Kavya, they are mentioned in the context of Lohajangha selling a jewel to purchase garments, scented unguents, and food. This highlights the cultural significance of scented unguents both as protective substances and as items of personal adornment in traditional narratives.
xxx/ellauri491.html on line 330: If you mean Jair Bolsonaro: no—his record and rhetoric generally opposed Indigenous land rights and environmental protections rather than advancing reparations or restorative measures for Indigenous peoples. His administration weakened IBAMA and FUNAI enforcement, supported agribusiness expansion into Indigenous territories, and saw increased deforestation and violence against Indigenous communities. These policies aggravated harms rather than “making amends.”
xxx/ellauri491.html on line 333: You're likely correct — full restoration of pre-colonial territories is virtually impossible given centuries of dispossession, demographic change, and private landholdings. However, partial restitution, legal recognition, expanded Indigenous territories, co-management agreements, and strengthened land rights can and do return meaningful control and protections to Tupi–Guarani and other Indigenous communities; progress varies by country and political climate.
xxx/ellauri491.html on line 337: Donald Trump reduced federal environmental and land protections (e.g., shrinking Bears Ears monument, promoting pipelines) that weakened tribal consultation and exposed ancestral lands to development and pollution. Advanced fossile energy/infrastructure approvals (Dakota Access, Keystone-related policies) and regulatory rollbacks have made it easier for extractive exploitation projects to proceed on or near tribal lands. Don undermined administrative capacity for Indigenous programs (vacancies, staffing reductions at DOI/BIA/Federal agencies), and paused or curtailed some tribal consultation mechanisms. Judicious legal shifts (Supreme Court appointments and regulatory rollbacks) have changed the legal environment for tribal sovereignty and land claims.
xxx/ellauri491.html on line 339: Jair Bolsonaro weakened environmental enforcement (reductions in IBAMA/Funai capacity and funding) and promoted agribusiness expansion, increasing illegal logging, mining, and land invasions into Indigenous territories. His public rhetoric and policy frameworks downplayed indigenous land rights and prioritized "development," accelerating deforestation and violence against Indigenous communities. Attempts to open Indigenous lands to commercial activity and reduce protections (administrative changes, proposed legal alterations), undermining recognized territorial safeguards. Both administrations have favored resource development and deregulation over Indigenous land protection, resulting in greater risk to territories, higher deforestation and pollution pressures, and weakened institutional protections and consultation.
xxx/ellauri491.html on line 569: The land was hilly, rocky and infertile. None of Ford's managers had the requisite knowledge of tropical agriculture. In the wild, the rubber trees grow apart from each other as a protection mechanism against plagues and diseases, often growing close to bigger trees of other species for added support. In Fordlândia, however, the trees were planted close together in plantations, easy prey for tree blight, Saúva ants, lace bugs, red spiders, and leaf caterpillars.This same lack of expertise caused disease and unrest to spread throughout the camp.
xxx/ellauri491.html on line 589: Economic interests overshadow Indigenous rights in Brazil. The agribusiness sector, which includes large-scale farming and livestock production, exerts significant influence over government policies. This often leads to prioritizing economic development over the protection of Indigenous lands and cultures.
xxx/ellauri491.html on line 607: Why it can seem like indifference? Poverty and development priorities: Brazil faces massive inequality, urban crime, infrastructure gaps, and economic pressures. Indigenous issues compete with demands from millions of poor non-indigenous Brazilians. Amazon development (soy, cattle, mining) has historically been pushed for jobs and growth, sometimes clashing with land protections. This isn't unique to Brazil—similar tensions exist in Canada, Australia, the U.S., and Indonesia, i.e. wherever the Western colonialists pushed their dirty dicks.
xxx/ellauri491.html on line 617: Legal framework: FUNAI (the indigenous affairs agency) exists specifically for protection, health, and land issues. Multiple Supreme Court decisions have upheld or expanded demarcations.
xxx/ellauri493.html on line 289: Good hygiene (washing before/after) helps but does not replace other protections.
xxx/ellauri493.html on line 596: Faced with a historic political crisis, mounting domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the government was forced to pivot. By deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan Island, Albania has sent a clear message to international billionaires and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws. This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land. The people spoke, and the government had to listen.
