In this text we explore the relationship between vitiviniculture and environment, observing the current conjuncture in which environmental problems are worsening. Taking as a baseline a survey of the literature and as a time frame the 1970s to the present, we begin by examining the development of vitiviniculture from the wider perspective of the contemporary global agrifood system, highlighting in particular the environmental impacts generated by this system. Next, taking into account the panorama of vitiviniculture in Brazil, we turn our focus to notions of sustainability with the aim of outlining possibilities for a reconfiguring of this issue and, at the same time, contextualizing the extent to which the country has been pursuing this direction. We conclude that the future of winemaking depends especially on a more harmonious intervention of human beings in the environment.

One of the fundamental problems of the world humans live in is that the resources human beings have used to meet their needs are limited. These resources, when used correctly, are enough to meet these needs. The main problem here is the mistakes human beings make and them not being aware of making these. In other words, they are consciously or unconsciously destroying the world they live in with every action they have taken to create the civilization. In this study, we will focus on the subjects of damages brought out to the natural sources by agricultural and aquacultural production which is used to meet the need for food, and wiping the effects of these damages. In this context, we will also focus on the conditions of the organic agriculture principle application on aquacultural production, which has emerged as a solution to the threats targeting human health and to the environmental problems brought out by the agricultural production.

ResumoO presente artigo aborda a relação entre capitalismo e destruição ambiental, numa perspectiva crítica. O objetivo foi demonstrar a relação específica entre ser humano e natureza instituída na sociedade capitalista e seus efeitos destrutivos, relação com as demais contradições do capitalismo e as possibilidades futuras. O modo de produção capitalista é o elemento fundamental para compreender o processo de destruição ambiental na sociedade moderna, especialmente em sua dinâmica marcada pela reprodução ampliada do capital. As ideologias que visam resolver o problema ambiental dentro do capitalismo são descartadas por causa dessa característica específica do capitalismo. A destruição ambiental é uma das contradições do capitalismo e pode se tornar a mais importante, promovendo o fim do capitalismo ou da humanidade. No entanto, o fim do capitalismo não ocorre sem ação humana e é essa que determina o que o substituirá. Isso coloca em evidência nossa responsabilidade na definição do futuro da humanidade.Palavras-chave: modo de produção capitalista, meio ambiente, destruição ambiental, tendências. AbstractThis article discusses the relationship between capitalism and environmental destruction, a critical perspective. The objective was to demonstrate the specific relationship between human beings and nature established in capitalist society and its destructive effects, compared with other contradictions of capitalism and the future possibilities. The capitalist mode of production is the key element to understand the process of environmental destruction in modern society, especially in its dynamic marked by the reproduction of capital. Ideologies aimed at solving the environmental problem within capitalism are discarded because of this specific characteristic of capitalism. Environmental destruction is one of the contradictions of capitalism and can become the most important, promoting the end of capitalism or of humanity. However, the end of capitalism is not without human action and it is this that determines what will replace it. This highlights our responsibility in shaping the future of humanity.Keywords: capitalist mode of production, environment, environmental destruction, trends. ResumenEn este artículo se analiza la relación entre el capitalismo y la destrucción ambiental, una perspectiva crítica.

The study of Marx and Engels' educational thought has experienced different stages in China, different stages show different characteristics, and has made some progress in the aspects of “human nature”, “all-round development of human beings”, “the combination of education and productive labor”, “the relationship between education and various social phenomena”, and “the thought of moral education”. Looking forward to the future, the study of Marx and Engels' educational thought in China should be further carried out: the depth of text research, the strengthening of academic research, the emphasis of method research and the deepening of cross-research.

Winston Churchill is often, though erroneously, quoted as saying that those who don’t read history will be condemned to relive it. This is true in many senses and is based on human beings reacting in natural and predictable ways regardless of the time frame. In considering the future of the manuscript and rare book world, however, it is important to understand its history partly because many assumptions of today’s dealers are based on what was, not on what is and what will be. Every aspect of the business has changed dramatically in recent times. I emphasize the business—not the love . . .

The human experience in times of crisis is a determinative indicator for the future wellbeing of generations. The lack of empathy and inactive emotional intelligence through all forms of linguistic conduct cause miscommunication and misconduct, which severely underestimates the intellectual potential of human beings. In a world of diversity, emotional intelligence and empathic linguistic power are crucial indicators of civilization and enlightenment. Given a richer understanding of the relationship between empathy and emotional intelligence from a sociolinguistic perspective, this study discusses the significance of including emotional intelligence and empathy in educational and intellectual programs. This study is the framework through which the empathic linguistic power within a society could be a determining power for crisis management and wellbeing at times of turmoil.


Manufacturing companies have responsibility to participate in reducing the environmental problems impacted by their operations. This study aims to identify the efforts of Indonesian manufacturing companies in abating environmental impacts caused by their production processesand to understand the behaviour of manufacturing companies in providing environmental information to their stakeholders. The population of this study are all manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and PROPER in 2012-2016. By employing purposive sampling, the study collected 135 data from 27 companies. On average, Indonesian manufacturing companies earned grade of 3 (Blue) in implementing PROPER. The extent of environmental disclosure is only around 38%. Environmental disclosure of manufacturing companies is influenced by rete of environmental performance and company size. Environmental performance is significantly affected by profitability and size. Leverage does not influence environmental performance, environmental disclosure, and profitability. The level of environmental disclosure is mostly descriptive and does not have a specific time frame. Indonesian manufacturing companies should improve their environmental performance and environmental disclosure.

Levinas confirms: a reflection about a money as a social and economical reality is not possible without a serious analysis of empirical data. On the other hand, this reflection always involves something else, so a money is never a merely economical category. In that sense, Levinas proposes an intriguing meditation about some ?dimensions? of a money in the western tradition. Contrary to the traditional moral condemnation of a money - which however remains unquestionable because of the fact that a man always carries a risk of becoming a merchandise - Levinas suggests that money never simply means a reification, but always implies some positive dimensions. Levinas suggests that a money is not something morally bad or simply neutral covering human relationships, but rather a condition of human community. Furthermore, he claims that a money is a fundament of the justice. A money makes possible a community, he explains, because it opens up the dimension of the future, and implies the existence of human beings who give themselves a credit; a credit understood as a time and a confidence. We shall try to address some problems implied by this thesis, particularly the problem of the relationship between time, money and credit. Finally, we are going to ask whether this cred?it - inseparable from the very essence of the money - is not always already a sort of usury.
