    example of a support network: guanxi, code of social cohesion of Chinese society - complicated relational network, close to the old Western business code “My word obliges me”: we can count on the other members of the network, who are honored to support you. It is "an informal bond, building a network of support outside of a rigid circle of established rules and regulations."

  • negotiation effects

    in terms of the gender pay gap, they are due to several phenomena. They can correspond to a difference in negotiating power between women and men in the sharing of the wealth produced within the same company. They may also reflect a greater presence of men in the highest paid positions in the company, or even stem from the differences in the time worked between women and men, if overtime is paid better than regular hours. Finally, they can account for discriminatory behavior by companies in terms of wages against women

  • Negationism & revisionism

    Doctrine denying the reality of the genocide of the Jews by the Nazis, in particular the existence of the gas chambers (Larousse, 2020)

    By virtue of its nature and scale, the genocide perpetrated by the Nazi regime against the Jewish community during World War II has left a deep mark on contemporary history. The most paradoxical manifestation is provided by the enterprise which consists in denying the reality of this genocide. Qualified as "revisionist" by its promoters from the 1970s to give it a semblance of scientificity, it is designated as "negationist" by historians. Faithful to a long anti-Semitic tradition of the West, the deniers denounce an alleged international Jewish conspiracy which would have fabricated this "swindle of the twentieth century" with the aim of justifying the existence of the State of Israel and of to extort reparations from a "defeated and innocent" Germany. Holocaust denial has experienced particular development in France with two main precursors - Maurice Bardèche and Paul Rassinier. It was widely disseminated from the 1970s, through a convergence of views and actions between extreme right circles and ultra-left groups. (Universalis, 2020)
