Abstract. Violent extremism is rising across the globe as indicated by the growing number of attacks of terrorist organizations. It is known that violent extremism is carried out mainly by young people due to developmental and external factors. Furthermore, recent evidence suggests that ideologically motivated violence stems from threat-regulation processes aiming to restore significance, control, and certainty. Nevertheless, few studies from the threat-regulation literature have focused on youth samples and on the social-economic and political context in which radicalization processes occur. Here, we hypothesize that one driver of the surge in violent extremism might be globalization. To do so, we review the evidence that shows that globalization increases the perception of affiliative, economic, and existential threats. In return, some studies suggest that these kinds of threats promote violent extremism among youth samples. Therefore, we conclude that the threatening context generated by four decades of globalization might be a risk factor for youth extremism in the long run.

Do So

Relatively little has been written about the social, economic and political dynamics and relationships that are engendered through Paleo culture. Examining the tensions within and between the ‘Paleo Diet’ principles and practices reveals the application of a technical solution to a structural problem: power dynamics created at an individual and group level by the Paleo culture reveals an emergent food classism rooted in socio-economic and racialized inequalities. Participation in and adherence to the Paleo lifestyle (or the inability to do so) creates particular types of social subjects and subjectivities based on the implicit moralization of food and consumption practices. While the Paleo Diet reflects millenarian apprehensions about the state of the contemporary world and concerns with global food quality and food insecurity, it is dependent on and exacerbates the socio-economic dynamics and marginalizing practices of a global food regime that it seeks to critique and abandon.

The founding fathers were born into a remarkable variety of families, occupations, religious loyalties, and geographic settings: from landed gentry destined to join the ruling elite, to middling or common sorts who chose the law or medicine as a professional path to distinction, or immigrants from other parts of the British Empire. They lived within and were shaped by three interlocking contexts—the intellectual world of the transatlantic Enlightenment; the political context within which Americans sought to preserve and improve the best of the Anglo-American constitutional heritage; and the social, economic, and cultural context formed as a result of their living on the Atlantic world’s periphery.

The Social

Socializing in tourist march also targets the adolescent and the group. Skills and habits, as well as rules assimilated by adolescents in tourist march, will be effective in any other social sphere. Tourist activities including tourism marches are very attractive, and those who practice them are convinced of their benefits, including socializing. The social, economic and environmental aspects of the young people of the last years impose the necessity to use the pedagogical potential of the tourism marches, for the formation of the collectivism, the mutual assistance and the activity in the group and other social skills necessary for the adolescents. Thus, these aspects give us the possibility to mention that, the tourism marches have an enormous psychological and pedagogical potential for the socialization of adolescents. The analysis of scientific literature allowed us to determine basic and theoretical approaches that are based on ideas about various aspects of socialization.

The Ideal

Evald Vasilievich Ilyenkov (1924–1979) takes special place in the Russian philosophy: he largely influenced the character of the movement, which may be regarded as “philosophical Renaissance” of the second half of the 20th century originating in our country. Evald introduced a number of ideas that were ahead of their time and could only be truly appreciated nowadays. In particular, it concerns the understanding of how to ascend from the abstract to the concrete when building a scientific theory. In his understanding of the problem of the ideal, Evald Ilyenkov anticipated the central problem of the modern complex of cognitive sciences: “enactivistic” approach and the idea of “broadened cognition”. The objective of the study was to introduce a number of previously unknown texts of the 60s and the 70s by Evald Ilyenkov into scientific circulation, as well as to provide extensive commentaries thereto, develop references, and describe the social and political context of the philosopher’s work. To do so, the author uses materials of personal, public and academic archives. During Evald Ilyenkov’s lifetime, his works were severely edited, censored and abridged; the goal of the study was to restore the original version of the works and publish manuscripts that had never been released in the Soviet times. By the end of 2020, four volumes of Evald Ilyenkov’s collected works have been published. The publisher brings these works to the new level, setting a high standard of translation and studies of the philosopher’s global heritage.

Hermeneutic Approach

Due to the complexities of the social, economic, and political context of Colombia, several authors have argued that Colombians tend to be very creative at an individual level, but that they face strong difficulties when trying to act collectively in a creative way. This article deepens in the concept of creativity through a literature review and then contrasts the defined concept with the vision and imaginaries of creativity of tech-entrepreneurs in the country. The main theoretical point is to contrast the empirical verification of the academic literature of creativity with the imaginaries of Colombian entrepreneurs in order to establish a more efficient and effective creative process.
