The article analyzes the problem of transformation of human nature in a modern digital society. The explication of the concept of “transformation” is given, the types of transformation are discussed, the connections between the concepts of “society” and “human being as a generic being” are revealed. The concepts of “human essence” and “human nature” are analyzed and compared, the uncertainty in the understanding of sociality is revealed, and the conclusion is made that the very concept of the essence of a person is largely amorphous. The complexity and multidimensionality of human nature is demonstrated, the relevance of its research is shown. This reveals the possibilities of the most diverse and, in the limit - inexhaustible - transformations of human nature. At the same time, the authors draw attention to the fact that the measure of possible transformations must be observed, since its violation inevitably turns into the disintegration of both man and society. The article notes that the most accessible and effective is the impact on the biological component of human nature. The connection between the transformation of human nature and modifications of the human worldview is stated. In this regard, the possibilities of transforming societies following the transformation of human nature are discussed. The authors come to the conclusion that as a result of ongoing transformations, a new type of society is emerging, which can be called a singular society, combining almost incompatible characteristics.

Intelligent Quotient

In today’s digital and automation obsessed world emotional intelligence is one important aspect which can differentiate a man from a machine. In this superbly technologically oriented world where most of us are crippled without a machine to help us it is a necessity for all of us to maintain our uniqueness in respect to machine. The uniqueness which differentiates us from a machine is our emotions towards different situations and people around us and how intelligently we handle these situations in a more human way. Simply put emotional intelligence is an aspect of human nature which helps all human being to understand themselves and others and try to overcome any problems or situations in a better way. Previously companies used to give more importance to IQ (Intelligent quotient) but now most of the companies are hiring those employees who are high on Emotional intelligence. The difference between intelligent quotient and emotional intelligence is that in intelligent quotient, people make smartdecisions irrespective of people’s feelings but in case of emotional intelligence, people make smart decisions by keeping people’s feelings in mind. The decision made by keeping in mind people’s feelings makes people happy and creates a happy and motivatedenvironment within the organization. Intelligent quotient is from birth but emotional intelligence depends on the environment we are born in and our surroundings and this can be changed according to the situation. In this digital age where the environment is constantly changing and full of challenges where people have stopped thinking about others feeling, emotional intelligence is the only way where people would start feeling a sense of belonginess, start being happy, relieved, motivated and start enjoying life to the fullest. This case study sheds light on the fact that emotional intelligence is very important in today’s automated world and also can also be a secret weapon which will help us survive and maintain our uniqueness before machine takes over human being in workplace.

The Impact

The article examines the impact of digitalization on human life and intellectual experience. The development of computer technology demands an understanding of new aspects of human development and requires a capability to overcome not only external conditions but also ourselves. Entering a new level of development cannot imply a complete rejection of previous dispositions, but should be accompanied by reflection on personal experience and by the quest for new forms of interaction in society and with nature. Communicative and cognitive activity of a person has an ontological basis and relies on processes that actually evolve in nature. Therefore, the creation of new objects is always associated with the properties of natural material and gives rise to new points of support in the development of man. The more audacious his projects, the more important it is to preserve this connection to nature. It is always the human being who turns out to be the initiator who knows how to solve problems. The conformity of complex technical systems to nature is not only a goal but also a value of meaningful construction of development perspectives. The key to the nature orientation of the modern digital world is the human being himself, who keeps all the secrets of the culture of his natural development. Therefore, the proposed by the Russian philosopher V.S. Stepin post-non-classical approach, based on the principle of “human-sizedness,” is an important contribution to contemporary research because it draws attention to the “human – machine” communication, to the relationship between a person and technological systems he created. The article concludes that during digital transformation, a cultural conflict arises: in an effort to solve the problems of the future, a person equips his life with devices that are designed to support him, to expand his functionality, but at the same time, the boundaries of humanity become dissolved and the forms of human activity undergo simplification. Transhumanism engages society in the fight against fears of vulnerability and memory loss and ignores the flexibility and sustainability of natural foundation.

At least two important consequences follow from the fact that human rights are based on human nature. First, they exist according to natural law even in cases where positive law does not recognize them. Secondly, they cannot evolve because the nature and purpose of the human being does not change: only their formulation and level of protection in positive law can vary according to the socio-historical context.

The Impact

The nature of work was undergoing dramatic change before the pandemic as the digital age continued to transform all sectors of society. In this paper we describe pre-pandemic trends in types of work, the workforce and working arrangements in the UK. We show how these changes were having gradual yet significant impacts on commuting and other work-related travel which were apparent in national travel data series. Key features of these impacts were increasing diversification and flexibility in work travel. We bring together findings on how working practices and travel have been altered by the pandemic and report expectations and opinions on its longer-term legacies. The pandemic has accelerated pre-pandemic trends and led to a shift in how work is performed for almost all sectors of the economy – but grasping the opportunity for this to contribute to deep carbon reductions from transport and to improve equity and health outcomes will require carefully directed policy interventions.

The Impact

Corporate social responsibility is one of the activities that goes beyond philanthropy, based on volunteerism in line with the responsibilities of enterprises towards society. This concept, which offers businesses the opportunity to look after and develop their brand image in the eyes of society, has become a necessity, not a choice, especially in today's world. In order to meet social expectations, the effectiveness of static and dynamic advertising messages implemented in all social benefit-based studies for human development such as environment, health and education is very important in terms of ensuring audience communication. In the second half of 2019, people were confined to homes and life came to a standstill all over the world in order to reduce and prevent the impact of the pandemic within the scope of the “New Type Corona Virus” (COVID-19) measures, which are from the sars-cov-2 coronavirus family, which is spreading rapidly globally starting from Wohan, Hubei Province, China. As a basic protection module for humanity against corona virus, it has incorporated the concept of social distancing into their lives in order to reduce the contact of staying at home and increasing hygiene, except in mandatory situations. During this extraordinary period, many brands on a global scale have included the concept of “social distance” in their advertising messages with the awareness of corporate social responsibility and have started to inform and educate the community about this issue by emphasizing the importance of the process. Within the scope of this research, advertising designs prepared by brands acting with corporate social responsibility awareness through the concept of social distancing during the Pandemic period were discussed and how the meaning structures behind the messages were created and transmitted. The research is limited to 3 (three) advertising designs determined by the 'judicial sampling' method (selective method). In the sample of the study, advertising narratives of brands in different sectors were explained in general framework and similar and different aspects of messages were uncovered by performing comparative analysis between messages in line with the findings obtained from the narratives. In this context, it was determined that the contrasts of “pessimism and optimism, hope and despair, happiness and unhappiness, death and life, strong and powerless, youth and old age, unity/togetherness and separation, struggle and defeat, nature and culture” were constructed as the main discourse.
