Spanish Social and Economic Conflicts (1898–1931)

The Agrarian Sector and Rural Social Conflict

Economic Transformation and Productivity

The Spanish agricultural economy transitioned from a subsistence model toward a market economy. Labor productivity increased due to factors such as the period following World War I (1914–1918), the reduction of fallow land, the introduction of irrigation, chemical fertilizers, and crop diversification.

Land Tenure Structure

The structure of land ownership varied regionally:

  • Latifundia (Estates): Predominant in Western

The EU and Its Citizens: Identity, Politics, and Participation

The Complex Relationship Between Europeans and the EU

Europeans have ambivalent attitudes about the EU. While many are generally supportive of the European project and have a European identity above and beyond their national ones, others feel that their voices are not heard within the union, have low levels of trust in the EU, and express skepticism about its direction. This is the reason that some have failed to develop a strong psychological attachment to the EU.

Even as late as the 1980s, European

Effective Teaching Methods for Poetry and Drama Literacy

Poetry Lessons: Creating a Poetry-Rich Classroom

To create a poetry-rich classroom, surround children with poetry (on the walls, in the halls, in the air, everywhere). Key strategies include:

  • Read poetry every day so students can become familiar with its rhythm.
  • Choose different types of poems.
  • Read aloud.
  • Match poetry with classical music.
  • Create a poetry corner in the classroom (e.g., signs of autumn: leaves, twigs, etc.).

Innovations for a Sustainable Future: Technology, Health, and Governance

Sustainable Agriculture: Fusion of Tradition and Technology

Merging traditional agricultural practices with modern technology—an approach often labeled the “fusion” model—brings significant advantages for food security and the sustainability of farming systems. Traditional methods such as crop rotation, intercropping, mixed farming, and water harvesting embody deep ecological wisdom: they preserve soil fertility, support biodiversity, and help sequester carbon.

When combined with precision

Core Concepts of Ethics: Moral Reasoning, Levels, and Corporate Law

Fundamentals of Ethics and Moral Reasoning

Ethics is a branch of philosophy. It studies what is right or wrong, good or bad behavior, and moral duty.

Ethical evaluation involves:

  • Evaluating actions to see if they are good or bad.
  • Defining what we should do (moral obligations).
  • Judging only free and voluntary actions ethically. (If someone is forced, or it’s an accident, the action is neither moral nor immoral.)

Example: If a company makes a mistake because of a software bug, it is not unethical if they
