| ARTICLES RELATED TO systemic bias | | | |  systemic bias: Encyclopedia II - Green Party of Canada Living Platform - 2005 - The Winter of the Living Platform's DiscontentBy January, 2005, the Living Platform was being used by some members to debate political party governance. This was part of the mandate of the democracy and governance committee and also relevant to the GPC's own policy of behaving according to the policies that it advocates for government. Some argued that this use went beyond the original purpose of the wiki, but many including party leaders and Issue Advocates argued that it was inevitable and necessary. The strongest critics of the Living Platform were the executive committee called the ...

| | | | systemic bias: Encyclopedia II - Early Muslim sociology - Social responsibility in commerce The development of Islamic banks and Islamic economics was a side effect of this sociology: usury was rather severely restrained, no interest rate was allowed, and investors were not permitted to escape the consequences of any failed venture - all financing was equity financing (Musharaka). In not letting borrowers bear all the risk/cost of a failure, an extreme disparity of outcomes between "partners" is thus avoided. Ultimately this serves a social harmony purpose.
Muslims also could not and cannot (in shariah) finance any dealings ...

The Living platform was shut down for approximately 48 hours. Volunteers who were working on the project expressed shock and frustration over this act, and many subsequently left the project. Since January 2005, there has been a sharp decline in activity on the site, a reversal from the prior months. When reposted, observers noted that the only content that immediately deleted were paged critical of the Media Team and Dermod Travis, with the most controversial pages about Harris and party chair Bruce Abel still as thew were before the interruption. No defini ...

| | | | systemic bias: Encyclopedia II - Green Party of Canada Living Platform - Use in outreach and lobbying Though the Green Party of Canada received only 4.3% of the popular vote in the Canadian federal election, 2004 and is not in the Canadian House of Commons due to Canada's "first past the post" voting system, it is an active lobbyist and has achieved some victories by working through members of other parties - see Canada Well-Being Measurement Act. This is an admirable step into the federal stage for the Canadian Greens.
Until current Green Party Media Chief Dermod Travis ordered otherwise in February 2005, the Living Platform w ...

| | | | systemic bias: Encyclopedia II - Green Party of Canada Living Platform - Initiation The Living Platform project was initiated in November of 2003. Party activist Michael Pilling, who had worked closely with Jim Harris in the Ontario Green Party and in subsequent non-party business activities, developed a proposal to create a participatory platform process using a wiki as the main collaborative tool. The plan would include diverse party members, from across a very large country, with a minimum of expense, and together they would draft a platform on pa ...

| | | | systemic bias: Encyclopedia II - Early Muslim sociology - Asibiyah Khaldun's central concept of asabiyah, or "social cohesion," seems to anticipate modern conceptions of social capital arising in social networks:
This cohesion arises spontaneously in tribes and other small kinship groups; and it can be intensified and enlarged by a religious ideology. Khaldun's analysis looks at how this cohesion carries groups to power but contains within itself the seeds - psychological, sociological, economic, political - of the group's downfall, to be replaced by a new group, dynasty or empire bound by a stronge ...

| | | | systemic bias: Encyclopedia II - Early Muslim sociology - Khaldun's economics A similar dialectic approach was taken to describe the sociological implications of tax choices, which is now of course part of economics:
"In the early stages of the state, taxes are light in their incidence, but fetch in a large revenue...As time passes and kings succeed each other, they lose their tribal habits in favor of more civilized ones. Their needs and exigencies grow...owing to the luxury in which they have been brought up. Hence they impose fresh taxes on their subjects...[and] sharply raise the rate of old taxes to increa ...

| | | | systemic bias: Encyclopedia II - Early Muslim sociology - Khaldun's history The Muqaddimah further emphasized the role of systemic bias in affecting the standard of evidence. Khaldun was quite concerned with the effect of raising standard of evidence when confronted with uncomfortable claims, and relaxing it when given claims that seemed reasonable or comfortable. He was a jurist, and sometimes participated reluctantly in rulings that he felt were coerced, based on arguments he didn't respect.
Khaldun had few successors in his thinking about histor ...
