Human Value

This paper discusses the design features deliberately used in social media technologies to cause behavioral addiction, while outlining how this addiction leads to altering, reshaping and redefining of basic human values such as contemplation, well-being, mindfulness and connectedness that bring about social, psychological, cultural and ethical changes in human existence. The paper sheds light on how the altering of the human value system goes against the values and principles of Islamic law by citing Qur’ānic verses, prophetic traditions and teachings of Islamic scholars. Currently, there are no frameworks, laws and/or strategies that view social media addiction from a metaphysical perspective and in terms of human worldview and existence. Hence, as a solution, our paper introduces an ethical framework for designing social media technologies using the objectives of Islamic law that discourage a social media design with indefinite ends and encourage a design methodology with well-defined objectives and consequences.

Human Value

There were certain assumptions underlying the (early) government response to the pandemic in Britain. The first one was to try and preserve capital accumulation for the very rich by making the rest of the population suffer, a population that had experienced austerity for years. The second assumption signifying thinly disguised racism was to deny that what originated in China had any relevance to the United Kingdom. A corollary of this was: if other countries wished to shut down, the United Kingdom would reap the benefits. These assumptions which led to relative inactivity in the early stage of the pandemic prompt us to ask: what human value system puts the preservation of the capitalist market economy above saving human lives?

On the meaning and significance of the concept of “progress”

Objective Meaning

The article provides a semantic analysis of the general concept of “progress”. The author shows that the objective meaning of this concept is a series of successive changes of a certain object. Still, the meaning of the con-cept of “progress” also includes an assess-ment of these changes from the observer’s viewpoint, who can assess these changes as a transition from lower to higher, from less perfect to more perfect, that is as progressive changes, or on the contrary – as a transition from perfect to less perfect, that is as regres-sive changes. It seems clear that these esti-mates depend on the observers’ value sys-tem, that is from their ideas about the high, the perfect, and the useful. Different people have different value systems, which is why so often people disagree in their assessments of some changes as progressive or regressive. The article discusses the question of whether a certain system of universal values exists, which assumes that a generally valid assess-ment of some changes as progressive is possible. Modern sociological research demonstrates the absence of such system. The author, in his turn, suggests a hypothesis about what could serve as the basis for the formation of such a universal human value system.

Modern human being lives in a constantly changing global world where one strives to save fundamental priorities of own value system. With regard to rapidly changing geopolitical conditions in the world and migrant crises in the European Union a question of tolerance becomes more and more relevant in a society. The aim of the paper is – by highlighting tolerance position in human value system and its importance in today’s world to assess future State Border Guard Service officers’ level of tolerance and to make suggestions for its deeper education. Research results indicate certain tendencies. Firstly, subjective self - evaluation of respondents tolerance significantly differs from the objective tolerance level which was revealed in the research. The data obtained point out typical respondents‘ overvaluating of their own tolerance level. Secondly, respondents showed a big influence of mass media and social networks. Contemporary migrant crises and its descriptions in different mass media are acknowledged by respondents as factors diminishing, not increasing tolerance. Thirdly, research results make us claim that present tolerance level of our respondents, including future SBGS officers, is poor and should be encouraged.Suggestions: general University politics, lectures attitude of mind and their behaviour play important role in tolerance growth; more attention should be paid to gaining multicultural competencies, fostering authentic thinking and developing empathy to other people.

In domestic scientific and public opinion, interest in religion as a new worldview paradigm is very high. Today's attention to the Christian religion in our society is connected, in our opinion, with the specificity of its value system, which distinguishes it from other forms of consciousness: the idea of ​​God, the absolute, the eternity of moral norms. That is why its historical forms do not receive accurate characteristics and do not matter in the mass consciousness. Modern religious beliefs do not always arise as a result of the direct influence of church preaching. The emerging religious values ​​are absorbed in a wide range of philosophical, artistic, ethical ideas, acting as a compensation for what is generally defined as spirituality. At the same time, the appeal to Christian values ​​became very popular.

This chapter analyses the earliest of the New Zealand coming-of-age feature films, an adaptation of Ian Cross’s novel The God Boy, to demonstrate how it addresses the destructive impact on a child of the puritanical value-system that had dominated Pākehā (white) society through much of the twentieth century, being particularly strong during the interwar years, and the decade immediately following World War II. The discussion explores how dysfunction within the family and repressive religious beliefs eventuate in pressures that cause Jimmy, the protagonist, to act out transgressively, and then to turn inwards to seek refuge in the form of self-containment that makes him a prototype of the Man Alone figure that is ubiquitous in New Zealand fiction.

Pesantren and social value system is the result of constructing kiai's thoughts and social actions as an inseparable entity. This study aims to interpret the role and social action of kiai Moh Hasan, both as a fighter (al-haiah al-jihaadi li'izzi al-Islaami wal muslimin) in the community as well as guidance and guidance for the community (al-haiah al ta 'awuny wa al takafuly wal al ittijaahi) and teaching in educational institutions (al-haiah al ta'lim wa al-tarbiyah), significantly contributes greatly to the social realities of society in Indonesia. Portrait of central figure kiai Moh Hasan can not be separated from the depth of his field of Islamic science, simplicity, kezuhudan, struggle, sincerity and generosity. This view, not only recognized among the people around the boarding school, students and colleagues, but also spread in some areas in Indonesia. The fame of kiai Moh Hasan among scholars, habaib and society has many karamah and some other privileges, not even a few from the social recognition of kiai Moh Hasan Genggong, because the kiai are believed to have closeness with God, thus perceived as auliya'Allah. Thus the role and social actions of the kiai above, gave birth to the value system, so as to influence and move the social action of other individuals. The internalization of the aforementioned values becomes social capital in building a spiritual-based transformative leadership, as a strong leadership model and conducts various changes in the social field, by transforming the value of the ethical values.

This study investigated how young teenagers, as members of a strong religious organization, dealt with the school situation and the encounter with mainstream culture taking place at school during the final years in Swedish primary school (age 13–15 years). The purpose was to explore possible strategies that members of a minority group, in this case the Jehovah’s Witnesses, developed in order to deal with a value system differing from that of the group. We interviewed eleven former members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses about their final years in compulsory Swedish communal school. The ages of the interviewees ranged between 24 and 46 years, and the interviewed group comprised six men and five women. Nine of the eleven interviewees had grown up in the countryside or in villages. All but two were ethnic Swedes. The time that had passed since leaving the movement ranged from quite recently to 20 years ago. The results revealed three strategies; Standing up for Your Beliefs, Escaping, and Living in Two Worlds. The first two strategies are based on a One-World View, and the third strategy, Living in Two Worlds, implies a Two-World View, accepting to a certain extent both the Jehovah’s Witnesses outlook as well as that of ordinary society. The strategy Standing up for Your Beliefs can be described as straightforward, outspoken, and bold; the youngsters did not show any doubts about their belief. The second subgroup showed an unshakeable faith, but suffered psychological stress since their intentions to live according to their belief led to insecurity in terms of how to behave, and also left them quite isolated. These people reported more absence from school. The youngsters using the strategy Living in Two Worlds appeared to possess the ability to sympathize with both world views, and were more adaptable in different situations.
