TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the concept of ideology does not provide criteria for distinguishing ideological thought from non-ideological thought, and thus it fails to achieve empirical relevance.
Abstract: Although the term “ideology” is ubiquitous in modern political discourse, it is used in diverse and usually ambiguous ways which limit its value as an analytical concept. The main ambiguity arises from the fact that, as most writers use it, the concept of ideology does not provide criteria for distinguishing ideological thought from nonideological thought. Lacking this power to make concrete discriminations, the concept fails to achieve empirical relevance. This paper attempts to remedy that deficiency and save the concept of ideology for the explanation of politics. The problem of conceptualization is approached by viewing ideology primarily as a cultural phenomenon. As such, it is argued, ideology has characteristics that distinguish it from other symbol systems. Of special importance in this regard is the identification of basic differentia between ideology on the one hand, and myth and Utopia (with which ideology is often confused) on the other. The features of ideology identified in this comparative analysis are then discussed in fuller detail with a view to understanding (1) the significance of ideology in politics, and (2) the way in which the concept of ideology can help us to understand politics, insofar as politics involves ideology.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of universal values, drawn from the world's major religions, which are the basis for creating healthy organizations are proposed. But these values are not universal in practice.
Abstract: This paper proposes a set of universal values, drawn from the world’s major religions, which are the basis for creating healthy organizations These values are argued to be essential to enable both economic and spiritual ideals to thrive and to grow in modern organizations In addition to articulating these values we propose a set of supporting activities which are necessary to foster these values The paper is intended to shape and to guide the aspirations of organizations, their leaders and their members – to help them to identify and to articulate desirable values and behaviors rather than reflect currently realized organizational norms

TL;DR: Restorative justice has emerged as an increasingly popular correctional paradigm that is drawing support not only from conservatives but also from liberals as discussed by the authors. But its ready embrace as a progressive reform is potentially problematic in two respects: the risk exists that restorative justice programs will be corrupted to serve non-progressive goals and thus do more harm than good.
Abstract: Restorative justice has emerged as an increasingly popular correctional paradigm that is drawing support not only from conservatives but also from liberals. Although this approach has value, its ready embrace as a progressive reform is potentially problematic in two respects. First, the risk exists that restorative justice programs will be corrupted to serve nonprogressive goals and thus do more harm than good. Second, there is little reason to anticipate that restorative justice programs will have a meaningful effect on offender recidivism. Thus, restorative justice should be viewed and implemented with caution.

TL;DR: The work life of "misfits" as mentioned in this paper, employees whose important values are incongruent with the values of their organization, represents an under-researched area of the person-environment fit literature.
