“…10 Adam Cureton argues that solidarity may manifest intrinsically valuable relationships, without being valuable in all circumstances, for instance among Nazis. 11 Having briefly characterized altruism and solidarity, it remains to ask whether these are two distinct phenomena or, rather, two terms referring to the same thing. It has been suggested that solidarity can be understood as a form of altruism.…”

Altruism or Solidarity? The Motives for Organ Donation and Two Proposals

Proposals for increasing organ donation are often rejected as incompatible with altruistic motivation on the part of donors. This paper questions, on conceptual grounds, whether most organ donors really are altruistic. If we distinguish between altruism and solidarity--a more restricted form of other-concern, limited to members of a particular group--then most organ donors exhibit solidarity, rather than altruism. If organ donation really must be altruistic, then we have reasons to worry about the motives of existing donors. However, I argue that altruism is not necessary, because organ donation supplies important goods, whatever the motivation, and we can reject certain dubious motivations, such as financial profit, without insisting on altruism. Once solidaristic donation is accepted, certain reforms for increasing donation rates seem permissible. This paper considers two proposals. Firstly, it has been suggested that registered donors should receive priority for transplants. While this proposal appears based on a solidaristic norm of reciprocity, it is argued that such a scheme would be undesirable, since non-donors may contribute to society in other ways. The second proposal is that donors should be able to direct their organs towards recipients that they feel solidarity with. This is often held to be inconsistent with altruistic motivation, but most donation is not entirely undirected in the first place (for instance, donor organs usually go to co-nationals). While allowing directed donation would create a number of practical problems, such as preventing discrimination, there appears to be no reason in principle to reject it.

Second, people always obey a large number of common sense rules and comply with social conventions when they interacting with each other [19]. For instance, when one listens to another person's speech, there will be an expression, language, or a response to the body.…”

Jinna LV †, † †a) , Member, Bin WU †b) , Yunlei ZHANG †c) , Nonmembers, and Yunpeng XIAO † † †d) , Member SUMMARY Recently, social relation analysis receives an increasing amount of attention from text to image data. However, social relation analysis from video is an important problem, which is lacking in the current literature. There are still some challenges: 1) it is hard to learn a satisfactory mapping function from low-level pixels to high-level social relation space; 2) how to efficiently select the most relevant information from noisy and unsegmented video. In this paper, we present an Attentive Sequences Recurrent Network model, called ASRN, to deal with the above challenges. First, in order to explore multiple clues, we design a Multiple Feature Attention (MFA) mechanism to fuse multiple visual features (i.e. image, motion, body, and face). Through this manner, we can generate an appropriate mapping function from low-level video pixels to high-level social relation space. Second, we design a sequence recurrent network based on Global and Local Attention (GLA) mechanism. Specially, an attention mechanism is used in GLA to integrate global feature with local sequence feature to select more relevant sequences for the recognition task. Therefore, the GLA module can better deal with noisy and unsegmented video. At last, extensive experiments on the SRIV dataset demonstrate the performance of our ASRN model.

“…Social moral rules both establish solidary bonds and provide the basis for such bonds, for example through mutual respect, care for members' wellbeing, or group pride. Solidary relationships are not merely useful to individual members of a group, they are also collectively valuable because they recursively foster valued group characteristics such as trust and care [10].…”

“…This many-sidedness begs the question of whether it is amenable to a coherent discussion at all. Theoretically, it may suffice to define solidarity as a condition involving acts of cooperation in support of shared ends, where the relationships formed by cooperative acts are also valued for their own sake [10]. The concept of solidarity in human rights appeals to the very core of human rights as universal to humans qua humans, as well as to humans qua members of society.…”

“…Does it make sense to see Nazi solidarity in the same way as working class or Civil Rights solidarity? A moral philosopher might try to answer the question by conducting a contingent moral evaluation, balancing the value of group solidarity against the evils that might have been involved to bring such solidarity about, or by requiring morally valuable, or at least permissible, ends and means to render solidarity a worthy concept [10]. A social scientist might adopt a more inductive approach to discover which meanings emerged out of which particular contexts.…”

Solidarity and the Encapsulated and Divided Histories of Health and Human Rights

This article examines the central but neglected principle of solidarity in human rights, health and bioethics, a concept subject to contention, evasion and confusion. It addresses the general ambivalence toward solidarity within law, philosophy and politics by discussing solidarity's co-evolution with inegalitarian encapsulations and divisions of human rights. It argues that a renewed conception of solidarity is essential to meet increasingly salient ethical demands, as gender equality and the individualization of responsibilities coincide with deficits of care and collective responsibility. Questions of embodiedness, (inter)dependence, care and asymmetry are neglected by dominant liberal approaches, but are key to rethinking solidarity.
