The Exploration of the Relationships between the Global Competitiveness, the ICT and Education

Author(s): Turkay Yildiz / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a key element for development and economic expansion. However, many of the developing countries appear to gain only small fraction of the advantages from the ICT sectors. Indeed, developed countries are taking the most of the advantages and opportunities brought by the use of ICT. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight the essential role and the significant relationship of ICT and education for gaining the competitive advantage. In this regard, this study investigates the complex relationships of some of the global competitiveness indicators of the ICT, education and the business sophistication and innovation factors. In this study, several statistically significant relationships are explored by applying canonical correlation analysis. These findings and significant statistical results are highlighted.

Author(s): Agnieszka Kuriata / Language(s): English Issue: 41/2016

Young Muslim women are coming under an increasing influence of globalization processes and follow global trends, which also includes fashion. This entails a certain balancing act between being modern and being religious. The author of the present paper attempts to address the question whether thinkable may be considered a Muslim answer to globalization through its presence within the so-called“hijab fashion,” or that perhaps, to the contrary, it constitutes a symbol of a growing isolation and separation of Muslim minorities inhabiting the countries of western Europe.

UTJECAJI GLOBALIZACIJE NA ARAPSKI JEZIK

Author(s): Mehmed Kico / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 14/2016

Globalization is defined according to the context in which it is analyzed, while globalism might be identified with the ideology promoting globalization. Globalization cannot be properly analyzed since as a complex process it has not been completed yet. It might be very diverse, and is reflected mainly in the domains of economy, politics, culture and language. Globalization enables a fast cross-border flow of information, goods, capital and people, and with it also the penetration of customs, habits and cultural values. As a part of it, developed countries impose economic rules, policies, cultural values, social norms and even language upon the undeveloped ones. Starting from the colonial period up to the present, the developed nations have used the Arabic language in an attempt to make globalization real in the Arabic speaking world by means of economic power, education system and also the campaign against literary language. However, the communities, characterized by mature linguistic awareness, have successfully resisted those negative effects of globalization. Although the native speakers do not play an important role, the Arabic language is exposed to the threats of globalization even because they take needless delight in anything foreign. Young people in the Arab world should show more respect toward their own mother tongue since it presents the main feature of their national identity. The Arabic language presents the language of the fundamental source of Islam, one glorious history and very rich medieval literature.

Tożsamość społeczna singli w ponowoczesności. Singlizm jako alternatywna droga życia w stosunku do rodziny

Author(s): Wioletta Szumilas- Praszek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 23/2014

The aim of this article is to diagnose and analyze the social phenomenon of being single not only by choice but on account of objective, unrecognized and independent factors from the individual’s point of view. Definition of a single person by choice is also a matter of my interest as many ways of loneliness can be chosen nowadays by a particular person. Decision of being single or living in a marriage implies outlook of a future, adult life. It is commonly seen that a young person postpone what to do with a family life taking up new professional or educational challenges. This article was furthermore inspired to show singlism as a new, alternative to family and marriage life way of living. Nowadays, in a quite modernized and globalized world, young people are trying to find many ways of their aspirations and ambitions to be fulfilled. By trying to achieve those goals, single people neglect the most pivotal field of life as the family matters are. A social identity of a single person is being damaged as such is concentrated on the professional issues so much that he forgets about starting the family which aspect seems to be unimportant or underestimated by him. The identity is an attempt of answering to the question who I am. However, in a single people’s case identity is frequently incomplete and fragmentary. Taking those factors into account, single people are focused on his professional and entertainment fields of life much too often, forgetting at the same time about the most crucial value in life as the family is, its starting, supporting and development.

KONWERGENCJA A KONDYCJA NAUK HUMANISTYCZNYCH

Author(s): Paweł Krzysztof Rutkiewicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 26/2014

I used the term “convergence” for describing a social condition of humanities in the face of hard science’s growing importance. I analyzed the term, derived from both sociology and media studies, in context of philosophical issues of globalization. Finally, I defined “convergence” as a matter of coexistence of the “old” and the “new” — where the latter determines the first’s way of development. On the basis of this statement I proposed a “convergent attitude” as a kind of solution for the weakening condition of humanities. The “convergent attitude” means the openness to technological and scientific modifications of everyday life as to the important interpretative context. The main frame of theoretical reference is Actor-Network Theory by Bruno Latour, which has been compared with Stanley Fish’s neopragmatism and with the theory of paradigms by Thomas Kuhn. I give some examples of “convergent attitude” from works by Stanisław Lem and Peter Sloterdijk.

Ethically responsible Global Sociology: conceptual framing of a new vision

Author(s): Pavel Sorokin / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2016

This paper begins by outlining the two-sided ‘ethical challenge’ that international sociology faces in the 21st century. First, formulating the ethical stance of a sociologist towards the subject of disciplinary inquiry and the potentially involved social groups. Second, elaborating the adequate research tools for studying the ethical dimension of globalizing social reality. We conduct a critical analysis of the current literature on these issues from the Global Sociology perspective. We show that the ‘value-involved’ Global Sociology is the only possible mode of successful and appealing international disciplinary practice. However, existing ‘value-involved’ approaches are Eurocentric by nature and lack sensitivity to the ethically diverse global social reality. We propose the conceptual framing of ‘Ethically Responsible Global Sociology’ as a new vision of our discipline in the global world.

Author(s): Małgorzata Smoleń / Language(s): Polish Issue: 22/2013

The article provides an overview of a history of the two institutions involved in the production of documentary films - Film Studio "Kronika" and Film Studio "Wir". Their example can verify the general statements about the condition of Polish cinema after 1989. Discussion of the economic context and market regulation, about realities of teamwork, gives a more complete picture of how the producers of documentaries and newsreels were fighting to survive in a market of free media. The author analyzes and discusses legislation and financial reports, showing that the specific economic situation and sources of funding for "Kronika" and "Wir" had a direct impact on the quantity and quality of the completed documentary and archival notations. Reflections on the execution of particular projects, illustrate the survival strategy of institutions focused on production of non-commercial films. Discussion of the circumstances of the fall of the Film Studio "Wir" and the various stages of commercialization and privatization Film Studio "Kronika", leads to the conclusion that the Law on Cinematography in 2005 (giving revolutionary solution in production financing area for the Polish cinematography, introducing clear rules of the game between film producers), contains provisions unfavorable for institutions under the supervision of the state.

Lietuvos interesų grupių europeizacijos veiksniai

Author(s): Vaida Jankauskaite / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 1/2017

A variety of factors influence the degree to which national interest groups decide to transfer their competencies from national political arenas to the European Union level. Aiming to explain these differences the article proposes and tests several hypotheses, relating to groups’ organizational properties as well as their relationship with national authorities and opposing interest organizations. The empirical analysis is based on original survey of Lithuanian interest groups operating at a national level, carried out in 2016. The data reveals that organization’s decision to allocate more time to supranational level is very much based on its perceived relative power in the national interest group system. Europeanisation of Lithuanian interest groups is also highly dependent on its financial resources, policy field in which the group operates as well as membership in international or EU level organizations. Whereas group type and group’s domestic embeddedness, that is its relationships with national authorities, has no effect on Europeanising.

Kozmopolitizam ili mondijalizam

Author(s): Pascal Bruckner / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 01+02/1995

U svojoj autobiografiji Druge obale, Vladimir Nabakov priča da je, kada se nakon boljševičke revolucije bio nastanio u Cambridgeu između 1919. i 1922. godine, doživio prijatno iznenađenje kad je nabasao na antikvami primjerak Dahlovog Objasnidbenog tjednika ruskog govornog jezika u četiri knjige: "Kupih ga i odlučih da svakoga dana iščitavam bar desetak njegovih stranica, bilježeći riječi i slikovite izraze koji mi se posebno dopadnu. Moja zebnja da ne izgubim ili da, uslijed stranog utjecaja, ne iskvarim jedinu stvar koju sam bio spasio iz Rusije - njen jezik - postade posebno nezdravom.“.

WHO IS THE NATIVE? REFLECTIONS FROM FANON, CÉSAIRE, AND BRATHWAITE

Author(s): Majid Amini / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

The advent of globalisation has, somewhat paradoxically, spawned regionalism and parochialism in many parts of the world. This tendency towards regionalisation and provincialism has been particularly pronounced in the context of culture and ethnological-cum-intellectual movements and traditions. But, more specifically, in terms of the theme of this paper, it can be seen that this intellectually driven anti-globalisation thrust has been principally directed towards attempts to forge native systems of thought and ideas. Globalisation is seen as a hegemonic attempt to suppress other percepts and precepts and subsume all other perspectives into one vast, boundless mass: that is, a homogenisation and effacement of difference that would ultimately culminate in the intellectual and cultural annihilation of ‘the other’. Accordingly, the nativist intellectuals have been motivated to reclaim their cultural and intellectual traditions from the ravages of the imperialism wrought in by globalisation. But, who and what constitute the native? To give a concrete setting to the discussion, the question is examined in the context of the attempts by Caribbean thinkers to construct nativist narratives of culture and intellect.

Globalization and the knowledge society

Author(s): Milan Kovačević,Nebojsa Pavlovic / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2016

Globalization is a multi-layered, long-running and irreversible process, which includes intensive changes, deterritorialization and acceleration of social activities.One vitally important aspect of globalization concerns its impact on the knowledge society. Through Americanization of universities and the Bologna Process, globalization has commercialized higher education, turning knowledge into a type of commodity.Under the influence of market forces, the university is starting to lose its long-guarded autonomy, becoming just another subject of corporative capitalism. Homogenization,standardization, specialization, economies of scale, marketing concepts, consumerism,as well as the primacy of knowledge that contributes to economic growth and higher profits are some of the key factors that directly affect higher education systems and institutions throughout the world. The goal of this study is to determine whether globalization is altering the essence of higher education-and how. In conclusion, we may state that future research ought to be increasingly aimed at examining the chance sand threats of globalization in the context of the knowledge society.

Metinsel Stratejiler, Plastik Taktikler - Batman Ve Barbie’yi Okumak

Author(s): Kendall R. Phillips / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 81/2015

Popüler kültür ikonları olarak Batman ve Barbie aslında birbirine paralel değildirler. Her ikisi de onyıllar içerisinde değişen üslup ve modaya ayak uydurmuşlardır. Her ikisi de çarpıcı bir şekilde küresel etkiyi yakalamışlardır. Her ikisi de ciddi anlamda akademik dünyanın ilgisini çekmişlerdir. Barbie (bkz. Lord, 1994; Rand, 1995; Rogers, 1999) baskın dişilik nesnesi, postmodern tüketim kültürünün bir örneği ve bir kaç yazıda garip bir ikon olarak okunmuştur. Bir kaç örnek vermek gerekirse Batman (bkz. Brooker, 2000) baskın bir erillik nesnesi, şizoid postmodern kültürün bir örneği ve kaçık bir ikon olarak da okunmuştur. Bu kültürel ikonların mevcut incelemesinde iki varsayım yatar. Birincisi, Batman ve Barbie verimli bir şekilde birbirine karşı okunabilir. İkincisi, her ikisini de ilk elden cinsiyet ve cinsellik sembolü olarak algılama arzusu, konuya maddesellikleri açısından başlamak anlamında verimli bir şekilde ele alınabilir, farklı yollarla her bir ikon maddesel olarak dünyaya bildirilirler. Bu iki başlangıç varsayımlarını birbiriyle bağlayarak, erillik / dişilliğin ikili normları arasında diyalektik karşıtlık temsiline ek olarak maddi bildirimin iki sureti arasında da varolan ilginç bir diyalektik gerginliği ortaya koymak istiyorum.

Między Rosją a Zachodem. Polityczno-społeczny wymiar relacji Mołdawii z Unią Europejską

Author(s): Marcin Orzechowski,Dominika Noskowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2016

The authors analyse the relations between Moldova and the European Union. They identify the causes of the difficulties while Eastern Partnership was being implemented in that state. A special part is played here by the Russian Federation that is defending its strategic interests in the areas of Eastern Europe, which is considered to be the Russian zone. The authors also present a thesis that the society of Moldova is divided as far as a possible integration with the EU is concerned, and a significant part of it prefer a pro-Russian option, which is supported by the establishment in the two countries. Thanks to that Russia finds it easier to back up the separatist tendencies in the area around the Dniester River (Transnistria, Transdniester, Trans- Dniestr, Transdniestria, or Pridnestrovie).

Erkek Dergilerini Okumak: Dergilerin İçeriği, İdeolojisi Ve Okurlari Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme

Author(s): İlker Erdoğan / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 80/2014

The increasing global popularity of men’s magazines offers a unique opportunity to study how magazines construct and represent masculinity and men, and academic literature that use this opportunity primarily focuses on men’s magazines as a cultural text and as a cultural phenomenon. The study particularly focuses upon content, ideology and readers of the men’s magazines as a cultural text and as a cultural phenomenon. However, it presents views in relation to men’s magazines as a popular media site or type which builds and represents both masculinity, and behaviors, attitudes and pleasures peculiar to men. Also, it seeks whether they are simply mainstream tools or whether they are offering models of (new) masculinity or male identity to modern men. The objective of the study is to determine how masculinity, men, gender, male identity and heterosexuality are built and represented in men’s magazines and to present a typology of men’s magazines, focusing upon content, ideology and readers of the magazines. But, this study isn’t an individual fieldwork, it’s a literature evaluation. To this end, a literature review has been conducted on men’s magazines that have been published by the global media groups and put on the international men’s magazine market. In this context, the study examines what role men’s magazines play in modern society as a cultural text and a cultural phenomenon, and reveals how gender, male identity and heterosexuality are legitimated through sexist discourse(s) produced in men’s magazines which eschew femininity and homosexuality.
