This paper aims to analyze the meaning of the family in the light of economic thought. It is a complex issue, approached from various areas of knowledge, but essential to clarify conceptual positions and place it as the foundation of society and its interaction within the business environment. This topic has historical-philosophical relevance, since since Aristotle oikos has been understood as a domestic unit, house or family, a place where private interests, government and household administration converge. Originally, it was an unequal, despotic management, which served as the basis for improving citizen life, which, in its trajectory, broadened its understanding to come to think of itself in terms of natural or artificial coexistence. In its evolution, the family has been consolidating as a social organization and from this, to a business organization, where, through the representation of actors, they manage a family business, instilling a series of values, beliefs, but also having implicit dangers, such as nepotism or autocracy. Although the family business model has been extensively worked from administrative positions, it can serve to maintain the family, community and cultural identity, in the face of the advances of Western globalization.

This paper makes a conceptual approach to human relations, situated from the approaches of administrative/organizational thought. It contemplates how the private company has grown according to the guidelines imposed by globalization, leading to the excessive accumulation of profits, leaving aside the valuation of individuals as worthy beings, which represents a misrepresentation of what should be the sense of belonging to the company. For this reason, we reflect on the urgency of directing organizational activity towards the search for the common good, based on an ethic of coexistence, whose purpose is to integrate the social with the labor, promoting the development of a series of axiological qualities to define.

This paper aims the theoretical underpinnings of globalization and western economic growth, being determining factors for the current environmental crisis. Under a bibliographical exploration, supported by the hermeneutical method, the urgency of questioning the dominant economistic model is raised, which exposes social asymmetries, human vulnerabilities, the loss of cultural identity and the reification of nature, under the premise seeking progress, conditioned by the interests of international organizations, not in accordance with the sui generis needs of peripheral countries. Following this line of argument, an ethical stance is assumed, where the urgency of rescuing man's relationship with nature prevails, possible through environmental education, which points out the relevance of the common good, of development in terms of sustainability, showing the possibility of advancing with perspectives of social change.

This paper, developed under the hermeneutic-documentary method, aims to analyze the role of teaching English as a foreign language in the Latin American scenario. To achieve this end, the research explores the following aspects: 1) It presents the conceptualization of coloniality as a fundamental element for understanding colonial legacies, the advancement of global society and the epistemic impositions present in the Latin American region. 2) Point out how English has become the hegemonic language par excellence, transmitting, more than words, a cultural imprint that codifies existence, by promoting globalization, capitalism, as well as ways of living and expressing oneself, which do not reflect the reality of the regional context. 3) Indicates the role of English teaching in Latin America, which has been determined by the development of instrumental skills, which emphasize the monitoring and evaluation of students, leaving aside aspects inherent to the understanding of culture and intercultural dialogue. 4) It raises the urgency of decolonizing the teaching of English as a foreign language, modifying the banking conception of education, tending towards a critical pedagogy and the projection of an inclusive society. It concludes on the importance of the decolonization of knowledge, the dialogue between cultures and the use of other methods for teaching English. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes, from a philosophical perspective, the scope and limitations of organizational ethics in the context of the era of globalization. Through this exploration, developed under the hermeneutical-documentary method, the following aspects are considered: 1. The elements that make up managerial ethics, as well as the various contexts that constitute the fields of action of philosophy within this universe. 2. The vulnerabilities exposed by globalization, both at an economic, social, and administrative level, as well as in human aspects, which lead to valuing the importance of decision-making, as a fundamental aspect to consolidate spaces characterized by justice and social equity. 3. The challenges faced by business management in the face of the gaps that arose after the COVID-19 pandemic, which, although not new, are intensifying in the midst of asymmetric and dissimilar scenarios characterized by exclusion, marginalization and the invisibility of difference. It is concluded that, in the face of the rise of virtuality, which has strengthened the processes of globalization, an ethic must be maintained according to the guidelines of social responsibility, promoting values such as respect, tolerance, justice and equity.

The recurrent changes that we are experiencing nowadays indicates that we are immerse in the XXI century, which means that we are facing a globalized society that requires an ethical, critical and aware individual capable to face the different problems that afflict their communities or country of residence. That is why talking about linking ethical values with university responsibility is necessary, considering that the vast Latin America must educate, not only and individual trained to carry out and activity in a certain discipline of knowledge, but also that he is responsible professional with the institution that formed him, as well as with the environmental, ecological, moral and social elements. This paper aims to describe the different definitions of University Social Responsibility (RSU) talking into account characteristics such as: 1.- Impact of this in the Globalized Society 2.-Emergence of the RSU concept, based on the laws that gave rise to it, 3.- Differences between Corporate Social Responsibility (RSE) and University Social Responsibility, 4.-Ethical values and their involvement with University Social Responsibility [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility and the proposal for sustainable development. By virtue of this, the article focuses on three aspects: 1) the theoretical conceptualization of sustainable development, which arises from the demands of a society plagued by environmental deterioration, which demanded forceful actions to stop the adverse effects of industrialization. In response, the World Conservation Union, the Brundtland Report (CMMAD, 1987), Agenda 21 (Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1992), and the World Summit in Johannesburg in 2002, helped shape the definition of sustainable development managed so far. 2) The proposal for Corporate Social Responsibility, which has antecedents in the 19th century, but it is not until the 20th century, along with the advances in sustainable development, that it enters the academic and managerial scene, postulating a new vision of the company, with social relevance, adapting to the demands of a more conscious society, without losing sight of the need for sustainable production and growth. 3) Corporate Social Responsibility in interrelation with the objectives of sustainable development, representing the opportunity to materialize the responsibility of companies with the environment and the community. It concludes on the importance of awareness regarding globalization and its adverse effects on life on the planet, as well as the need for companies to act responsibly in the face of this phenomenon.

This paper aims to determine the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Peruvian regional market. To achieve this end, the research took two methodological approaches. On the one hand, the quantitative approach, oriented by a correlational design, where the questionnaire was applied as a validation instrument in a population of 51 microentrepreneurs, presenting to consider: 1. Management skills, where data on the dimensions were collected: experience in activities and services, education, and personal skills proposed by Griffin & Fleet (2015). 2. At the sales level, the data report information on the dimensions: sales situation, problems and implications of sales, as well as the need for profit based on Sant's approach (2013). On the other hand, it assumes a theoretical-philosophical approach, where the effects of globalization and capitalism on the Latin American regional market are evaluated, which, accompanied by the presence of COVID-19, have deepened social inequalities, the marginalization of sectors of the population and labor exploitation. The interconnection of these methods allows us to conclude on the need to connect the microenterprise sector with the social reality of the communities, returning to work the human conditions that hegemonic globalization has subtracted from it.

This paper has three main purposes. Firstly, the paper shows from a Latin American point of view that the western civilization is ambiguous because at the same time it is generating a new barbarity in our world. Secondly, the paper presents the intercultural dialogue as a perspective to criticize the globalization of the western civilization and as an alternative to come up to reorganization of the relationship be- tween the cultures. Thirdly, the paper intends to point out some philosophical presuppositions of the intercultural dialogue: the conception of human being as a "sin gular universal", critical reflection, freedom, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the intercultural situations in the university, promoted by the international displacements of the academic community. The hegemony of Western knowledge makes inequalities with other subaltern knowledge. The ecology of knowledge produces an intercultural dialogue that can generate a process of inclusion of different knowledge and cultures in a nonhierarchical, democratic and plural academic system.

This paper tries to propose the existence of a late-capitalist code able to colonize individuals and communities' sense of belonging. That is made claiming individual as sovereign and owner of his/her psychological states and the aesthetization of other's misery as an insubstantial consumption. Rejecting own and other's vulnerability is paradoxically proposed as a way to socialize individuals and groups. At the same time this principle makes fragile political choices on the common future for citizens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

If it is so necessary today to speak about the human capacity to assure coexistence among ourselves, this occurs because we live a period of the permanent deterioration of this coexistence. We can complain about this or be indifferent to it; however, we must reflect on this fact. This paper reflects on the ethics of coexistence and their importance to our society, in an age where what is indispensable is useless due to the rationality imposed by the neoliberal globalization model.

According to the central hypothesis of this paper, late capitalism is accompanied by a profound redefinition of the condition of the citizen. According to Marshall, citizenship was linked to distributive equality, and the existence of a common culture. It presupposed a gradual conquest of rights. The conditions under which it is presented now cor respond to a different pattern. Consensus which extends beyond national limits and exponential growth of violence constitute challenges in conceptualization. Globalization, times of universal circulation of merchandise, and the emergence of a new international law that redimensions borders and promotes the conquest of collective subordinates (women and ethnic groups), also pro motes the break down of societies considered until recently equalitarian. This state, can be said to be a state of conflict, everyone against everyone, and convokes the reappearance of a new common contract as a theme for theoretical debate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
