Quo Vadis

“Although I work a lot with fossils in my own research on fishes, I do not care to be called a paleontologist; and I am turned off by many aspects of the public-relations hoopla surrounding paleontology, especially dinosaurs…. One could easily argue that the schools' fascination with dinosaurs might also detract from the other aspects of earth science and biological science and, in the end, weaken paleontology's image as an activity for hard-nosed grown-ups.”K.S. Thomson, 1985: p. 73“Let dinosaurs be dinosaurs. Let the Dinosauria stand proudly alone, a Class by itself. They merit it. And let us squarely face the dinosaurness of birds and the birdness of the Dinosauria. When the Canada geese honk their way northward, we can say: “The dinosaurs are migrating, it must be spring!”R.T. Bakker, 1986: p. 462It is a now oft-repeated statement that we are in the Second Golden Age of dinosaur studies. This may at first seem to be yet another overstatement by dinosaur fanatics; in fact, it is substantiated on a number of fronts. Research activity is certainly at an all-time high, with resident dinosaur researchers on every continent (except Antarctica) and dinosaurs known from every continent (including Antarctica). This activity has resulted in a spate of discoveries, including not only new genera and species, but entirely new types of dinosaurs, such as the segnosaurs. Well-known groups are producing surprises, such as armored sauropods and sauropods bearing tail clubs. Good specimens of previously named genera are revealing unsuspected structural features that almost defy explanation, as in the skull of Oviraptor. However, dinosaur studies extend far beyond the traditional emphasis on dinosaur morphology, and encompass paleobiogeography, paleoecology, taphonomy, physiology, tracks, eggs, histology, and extinction, among others. In some cases, several of these studies can be applied to a single taxon or locality to give us a fairly detailed understanding of the paleobiology of some species.

The need of corporate social responsibility development is mostly explained with the fact that the states do not cope with the solution of problems of a social assistance of the population. But as the state undertakes all social burden of the population, the need for corporate social responsibility disappears. So, it is substantiate to adopt the other approach -the importance to proceed from essence of society as certain social system -system of people, their certain communities connected with each other by the public relations, and their interests. Stable, steady existence of this system is possible only at mutual adjustment of all its structural parts -adjustment of mutual interests.

The Way

Public relations give opportunity to the organization to present its image and personality to its own “public”- users, supporters, sponsors, donors, local community and other public.It is about transferring the message to the public, but that is a two-way street. You must communicate with your public, but at the same time you must give opportunity to the public to communicate easier with you. The real public relations include dialog – you should listen to the others, to see things through their perspective. This elaborate is made with the purpose to be useful for every organization, not for the sensa-tional promotion of its achievements, but to become more critical towards its work. Seeing the organization in the way that the other see it, you can become better and sure that you are giving to your users the best service possible.

New Literature

Despite the elevated interest in new technologies in the public relations practice, their use is still achieved in a random, traditional, disorganized way and without a particular strategy or methodology. This randomness in non-use may be caused by the lack of conviction of the role of modern technological tools and their importance to activate the dialogue between the organization and its audience. In addition to enabling them to achieve their objects such as promotion, building a strong reputation and increase loyalty and thus increase sales or services provided. The other reason is that this area is still considered relatively new. Literature still lacks studies that show the mechanisms that practitioners should follow to improve and develop their performance, although many studies have shown that there are many gaps and issues in the online PR practice, such as weaknesses in technological skills, weakness in the concept of online pr. Studies have also found factors that affect on the non-use of these tools or use them in an abusive manner. Therefore, there is a need for studies to show the mechanisms of dealing with these tools effectively. This study attempted to explore the literature in this field and found several mechanisms that could be used to improve and develop the practice of online PR.

Public Relations Campaign

In the 1964 New Hampshire Republican primary, with very little money, no political power base, and not even a genuine candidate, the “Draft Lodge” movement brought off a stunning victory over Goldwater and Rockefeller organizations which spent huge sums, between them controlled nearly all the sources of Republican power in New Hampshire, and had earnest candidates who tramped all over the snow-covered landscape shaking hands by the thousands and making speeches by the hundreds. How that victory was achieved is an instructive lesson in the vagaries of American presidential politics. It also happens to be a brilliant illustration of what has become known as the “public relations” campaign which, it turns out, works even better in primaries than in regular elections. Here then is the story of a political victory put together out of press releases and announcements, a couple of pieces of direct-mail advertising, a five-minute television film, and the mistakes of the other candidates. As for Lodge himself, he was 10,000 miles away in Saigon insisting he was not a candidate.

What are the impacts this pandemic is leaving on politics? In this essay, I will argue that Covid-19 – beyond the rhetoric of exceptionalism or denialism – is unveiling some ‘structural’ features of Western capitalist-societies – on one side, the pervasiveness of digital technologies shaping more and more the public sphere; on the other side, social reproduction as contested terrain between divergent forces. The erosion of spaces for decision-making in liberal democracies seems to be questioned by the emergence of practices of mutualism and claims for common goods.
