Abstract In the global world, changes that strike our educational system occur daily. In that matter, most of the traditional guidelines have been thrown away in order to strive towards new goals and methods, the external ones, which satisfy the continually changing labor market. The purpose of an individual in that kind of a system is to adapt in order to satisfy its needs while Socrates searches for happiness inside a man itself - a man possesses knowledge and wisdom for himself and his freedom, not others. With his method of dialectic speech, he seeks his truth and that of others and offers lots to think about. His teaching, which emphasizes love and desire for learning and real knowledge that leads to becoming an independent man, has been inspiring people for over twenty-five centuries, and it should be taken into consideration when thinking about youth, younger generations, and their future. In this paper, we are comparing and showing the differences in education today and the one in Socrates’ time. This paper highlights changes brought by the Bologna Declaration, but also the directionality in the labor market today, which makes the universities entrepreneurial centers. What does that mean for the knowledge economy we are striving for? Can we even state that we really are a knowledge society if we only aspire to knowledge that is dictated by the constantly changing labour market? We compare the knowledge to which we aspire with the knowledge which Socrates searches for and show the disadvantages of today’s educational system along the way. Here we offer Socrates’ ideas and opinions, which lead to possible progress towards genuine wisdom.

The realities of an interconnected global world have resulted in increased economic integration, but globalization has also brought an important conceptual change in the way we think about almost everything. Conversations in an environment of constant change, instant information, and confusing rhetoric tend to be focused on symptoms currently in front of our face or in the category of breaking news. The realities of living in a world that is increasingly connected, instantly aware, and commonly influenced by technology-driven change is much more complex. This chapter reports on thinking about the impact of change on varied sectors. The focus will be on megatrends that affect global and local constructs of business and lifestyle.

The article will focus on the role of faith in postfoundational epistemology and the extent to which our knowledge constructions are only possible in a context of faith. One inherits a language, a house of being, and this inherited language creates the world in which the various beings-of-one’s-world find their place and have meaning. It is in this inherited world-of-meaning that knowledge is constructed. Epistemology is therefore based on faith, believing in the linguistically socially created world, in the sense of believing in the world created by the silent speaking of language that creates the world-of-meaning in which one finds oneself. One unconsciously accepts this world created by language without taking into consideration the role of faith as one believes this created world to be the ‘real’ world. One takes for granted the world (worldview) into which one is born as the way things are. Life and knowledge are made possible by believing this world-of-meaning: language. In a global world where differing worlds-of-meaning come into contact with each other, faith can be disappointed and can lead to anger and violence. If one acknowledges the role of faith in one’s epistemology, doors can be opened to multidisciplinary and multicultural dialogue as a multi-faith conversation.

Global research has already included the unfolding global process of sustainable development, which should ensure our common future, existence, the safe evolution of civilization and the preservation of the biosphere. Taking into account the global transition to sustainable development, the article proposes to understand the global world as a stage of socio-natural development, which will be formed through the achievement of general planetary and geocosmic stability.

The civilization has a long history. It was formed in the framework of history and philosophy of history. In sociology it was used from time to time and only as a means of analysis of religion and culture. However in the middle of the XX century in the context of post-colonial studies it became evident that both the process of movement of different societies to modernity and the results of this movement show the lack of universalist patterns. It also become clear that one can use theory of civilization to explain all these phenomena. In fact the civilization approach turned out to be a useful alternative to the universalist approach as a way of understanding the contemporary global world especially of the processes of modernization.The civilization approach has made it possible to work out a new version of global sociology. It shows the way to investigate the culture-civilization complex which includes religion social institutes and identities.

<p>In today's global world, the economy appears as a commander. Many economic actors do various terosoban in developing the business world. Interestingly, at this time also, some Muslim economists are also aggressive to make breakthrough business alternatives called Islamic business is a business that is controlled by the normative values of Islamic teachings, both from the way of acquisition and the way pengdayagunaannya In view of Islam, in conducting business activities, although there are values of freedom, value of ownership, and similarity all there are boundaries and territories that have been determined. Fakhri (l995) said that Islamic businesses are controlled by the law of halal and haram, totally different from non-Islamic business. On the basis of secularism based on material values, non-Islamic business is not paying attention to halal and haram in realizing its business objectives.</p><p> </p><p>Dalam dunia global saat ini, ekonomi tampil seolah menjadi panglima.

Yang menarik, pada saat ini pula, beberapa ekonom muslim juga gencar melakukan terobosan bisnis altematif yang disebut bisnis Islam yaitu adalah bisnis yang dikendalikan oleh nilai-nilai normatif ajaran Islam, baik dari cara perolehannya maupun cara pendayagunaannya Dalam pandangan Islam, dalam melakukan aktivitas bisnisnya, walaupun ada nilai-nilai kebebasan, nilai kepemilikan, dan kesamaan semuanya itu ada batas dan wilayah yang sudah ditentukan. Fakhri (l995) mengatakan bahwa bisnis Islami yang dikendalikan oleh aturan halal dan haram, sama sekali beda dengan bisnis yang non islami. Dengan berlandaskan pada asas sekularisme yang bersendikan nilai-nilai material, bisnis non islami tidaklah memperhatikan halal dan haram dalam merealisasikan tujuan bisnisnya.</p>

AbstractThe problem of extended fusion and identification can be approached from a diachronic perspective. Based on our own research, as well as findings from the fields of social, political, and clinical psychology, we argue that the way contemporary emotional events shape local fusion is similar to the way in which historical experiences shape extended fusion. We propose a reciprocal process in which historical events shape contemporary identities, whereas contemporary identities shape interpretations of past traumas.

Abstract The purpose of human cognition depends on the problem people try to solve. Defining the purpose is difficult, because people seem capable of representing problems in an infinite number of ways. The way in which the function of cognition develops needs to be central to our theories.

Ap stars are peculiar in many aspects. During this century astronomers have been trying to collect data about these and have found a confusing variety of peculiar behaviour even from star to star that Struve stated in 1942 that at least we know that these phenomena are not supernatural. A real push to start deeper theoretical work on Ap stars was given by an additional observational evidence, namely the discovery of magnetic fields on these stars by Babcock (1947). This originated the concept that magnetic fields are the cause for spectroscopic and photometric peculiarities. Great leaps for the astronomical mankind were the Oblique Rotator model by Stibbs (1950) and Deutsch (1954), which by the way provided mathematical tools for the later handling pulsar geometries, anti the discovery of phase coincidence of the extrema of magnetic field, spectrum and photometric variations (e.g. Jarzebowski, 1960).
