This book was released on with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algeria, as an Arab country, is influenced by the local values and traditions that had impacts on the position and roles of women in society. The main functions of Algerian women are mainly focused on educating their children and taking care of their husbands. They are mainly confined to working at home or in farms with their husbands or other family members. Female occupations then evolved to occupy certain jobs, particularly pottery, knitting, weaving and traditional sewing of women's dresses, as well as other trades and occupations that prevailed. The breakout of the Algerian liberation revolution (1954-1962) led to the enrolment of women in the revolution, and that led to their participation in social and humanitarian activities, especially in nursing, social and communication tasks. After independence, Algerian women exercised various professional activities and assumed responsibilities in certain jobs, in the sectors of education, higher education, vocational training, health, and clerical jobs. Some have also acceded industrial occupations, particularly in the textile, sewing and familial enterprises. However, at the end of the twentieth century, educated Algerian women began to penetrate new careers, which were the prerogative of men. Besides the responsibilities in various industrial enterprises, they entered activities requiring physical strength such as building activities, construction, mechanical engineering, oil industries, especially as engineers in various disciplines. Young graduated women from universities, schools and colleges, became active in the field of entrepreneurship. As a result of the economic crisis, and the apparition of structures for youth employment and the State encouragement for youth to set up their enterprises, women were encouraged to start up their enterprises. In spite of the socio-cultural changes as a result of the expansion of education and occupational training, including higher education, Women encountered environmental and socio-cultural constraints. Algerian women face almost the same constraints as well as women in the MENA region (the Middle East and North Africa). There are several studies on women entrepreneurship in Europe and America, but fewer in Algeria, and Arab countries in general. The majority of researches are dealing with women entrepreneurship from an economic aspect, while my research has focused on the psychological, social and cultural constraints of women entrepreneurship. This research contributes to the empowerment of women in the MENA Region and makes them aware of their abilities and potentials. A questionnaire was developed to study the characteristics of women entrepreneurs as affected by local culture. It was used also for the assessment of women's skills and managerial innovations observed in women entrepreneurs in Algeria, their ways of managing male/female relationships, perceptions of the relationship between the Algerian local culture and innovative management practices. This questionnaire can be used in other Arab Muslim cultures, in the MENA region. This book encompasses several papers published separately or presented in different international conferences and, all of them deal with socio-cultural constraints of women entrepreneurs, women’s psychological characteristics, their managerial abilities and their challenges in an unhealthy business environment. Socio-cultural environment and constraints of Algerian and Arab women entrepreneurs, their psychological characteristics and managerial practices are investigated in this book.

Download or read book Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture written by Henry Jenkins and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-06-05 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many teens today who use the Internet are actively involved in participatory cultures—joining online communities (Facebook, message boards, game clans), producing creative work in new forms (digital sampling, modding, fan videomaking, fan fiction), working in teams to complete tasks and develop new knowledge (as in Wikipedia), and shaping the flow of media (as in blogging or podcasting). A growing body of scholarship suggests potential benefits of these activities, including opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, development of skills useful in the modern workplace, and a more empowered conception of citizenship. Some argue that young people pick up these key skills and competencies on their own by interacting with popular culture; but the problems of unequal access, lack of media transparency, and the breakdown of traditional forms of socialization and professional training suggest a role for policy and pedagogical intervention. This report aims to shift the conversation about the "digital divide" from questions about access to technology to questions about access to opportunities for involvement in participatory culture and how to provide all young people with the chance to develop the cultural competencies and social skills needed. Fostering these skills, the authors argue, requires a systemic approach to media education; schools, afterschool programs, and parents all have distinctive roles to play. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Reports on Digital Media and Learning
