The aim of the paper is to understand the role of Internet in creating new forms of sociability in the modern society. In the first part the history of social studies of Internet is reviewed, and the conclusion put forward that the anti-social role of the Internet cannot be proved. In the theoretical part of the paper the author presents his idea of two basic roles of Internet as interpersonal interaction tool: transmissional and procreative. These two Internet functions are very important means for reproducing a new form of sociability known as networked individualism.

During the 1920s, Walter Lippmann expressed his growing doubts about the epistemic capacities of the journalistically informed mass public, and John Dewey published three responses to these doubts—none of which grappled with the interpretive problems that Lippmann saw as the barrier to an adequate understanding of modern society. Rather than lamenting the mass public’s lack of knowledge, as Dewey did, Lippmann was mainly worried about the inevitably biased stereotypes by means of which journalists and their readers winnow down overabundant knowledge into coherent interpretations. Dewey’s hopes for a new form of journalism, his faith in ordinary people’s knowledge of the problems afflicting them, and his ideas for a new social science failed to confront this problem of interpretation. However, Lippmann’s own solution, early in the debate, was an epistocracy of statisticians, which also failed to confront the interpretive problem he had identified. The debate ended, then, with neither engagement nor resolution.

AbstractAdopting a comparative approach, the article discusses patterns of inclusion and exclusion such as property, nation and religion from a historical viewpoint. According to Luhmann the concept of inclusion and exclusion is about taking into account persons in social systems; according to Foucault it is related to deviance and abnormality. The transition from stratified to functionally differentiated societies is analysed, emphasising the transformation of ›Inklusionsindividualität‹ to ›Exklusionsindwidualität‹. Property and nation are both treated as transient semantics: for a short time after its emergence, private property guarantees inclusion and brings about new forms of identity and exclusion. Without the nation state the autonomy of subsystems would not be tolerable. The idea of a nation temporarily compensates for exclusion rates resulting from this new form of differentiation. While religion grants access to anyone and everyone even in stratified societies, thus anticipating the new pattern of inclusion, it also turns into a reservoir for unplanned, non-functionary exclusion in modern society.

The article analyses the results of scientific information retrieval, aimed at identifying the relationship between certain parameters of archetypes and social behaviors of modern adolescents: on the one hand — development of personality, identity, socialization, on the other hand — the use of social networks as a communication space. The search was conducted within the complex of modern neurosciences at the systematic level and interdisciplinary research.

It has always been with a bit of introspection and guilt that I have considered this statement by the great statesman. However to what extent is this statement still relevant, given the backdrop against which Kenyatta made these infamous words? Surely, Kenyatta spoke of some sort of intense political battle, waging between coloniser and the rebellious or guerilla political movements of the colonised. Surely this analogy that Kenyatta spoke of decades ago ceases to exist in modern times, as the concretisation of rights has occurred, and no such battle can even exist in modern society. The above conceptions, although ideologically ideal are practically flawed. A new form of battle is waging war. A new form of battle is waging war. As a consequence of the worldwide acceptance of the political philosophies of democracy and democratic governance, ancillary philosophies like the economic philosophy of capitalism have become intrinsic in society. What we have experienced is rather a shift from this fight for democracy between the colonisers and indigenous African people, to a fight for supremacy between those who advocate individual and those who articulate communal interests.

The emergence of social networks has joined people from different parts of the world which has brought unconditional benefit to humanity. At the same time, the possibility of communication between citizens of different countries using the same platforms, foreign hosting companies and providers has created a new form of human identity – virtual identity. In turn, this has contributed to a new phenomenon, such as digital socialization of the individual. This has created comfort and additional opportunities for integration into society, but at the same time, this form has led to the blurring of traditional values, national cultures and the fragmentation of political consciousness.

Montaigne’s turn to modern philosophy is the turn away from the contemplation of the Whole to the study of himself. He transforms Aristotelian contemplation into “sociable wisdom” by becoming a “new figure” of the philosopher, an “unpremeditated and accidental philosopher.” The new figure of the philosopher is the “social-Subject” (the counterpart of Machiavelli’s “political-Subject” and Descartes’s “epistemological-SSubject”). Montaigne’s invention of the essay is, at the same time, the invention of modern society, a new form of association that overcomes the ancient hierarchy of weak and strong, masters and slaves. The unpremeditated and accidental philosopher does not attain the good as his natural end; he produces the good as his own effect. Society, then, has a philosophical, not a natural, origin. Montaigne’s “originality” is to be this origin.

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perubahan yang terjadi pada masyarakat Samin Bojonegoro dengan menggunakan teori Pembagian Kerja dan Solidaritas Sosial Emile Durkheim. Yaitu perubahan sosial dari masyarakat tradisional menuju masyarakat modern. Menurut Emile Durkheim, peningkatan sistem pembagian kerja pada masyarakat berimplikasi pada perubahan tipe solidaritas sosialnya, yaitu pada masyarakat dengan sistem pembagian kerja yang sangat sedikit akan menghasilkan tipe soli-daritas mekanik, sedangkan pada masyarakat dengan pembagian kerja yang kompleks akan menghasilkan tipe solidaritas organik. Dimulai dengan mendeskripsikan kehidupan masyarakat Samin dari asal usul, ajaran yang diikuti dan perubahan sosial yang terjadi pada mereka. Bentuk kajian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif. Data dalam kajian ini digunakan untuk memahami dan menafsirkan makna peristiwa serta pola tingkah laku masyarakat Samin Bojonegoro. Adapun data yang diperoleh berasal dari dokumen sejarah Samin dan bahan kepustakaan berupa buku, video film maupun jurnal ilmiah. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat diketahui bahwa kondisi masyarakat Samin Bojonegoro telah mengalami transformasi dari tradisional menuju masyarakat modern. Meskipun telah mengalami perubahan dan modernisasi di segala bidang, masyarakat Samin masih identik dengan masyarakat mekanik dalam hal solidaritas. Hal tersebut dikarenakan masyarakat Samin masih menjunjung tinggi ajaran Saminisme dan mengamalkannya sampai sekarang yang berimplikasi pada kesadaran kolektif yang tinggi., meskipun mengalami berbagai transformasi, masyarakat Samin masih memegang teguh ajaran leluhurnya, yaitu Saminisme.Kata Kunci: Transformasi Sosial; Suku Samin; Pembagian Kerja Emile Durkheim; Solidaritas Organik; Solidaritas MekanikThis study aims to analyze the changes that occur in the Samin Bojonegoro community by using Emile Durkheim’s Division of Work and Social Solidarity. Namely the social change from traditional society to modern society. According to Durkheim, an increase in the system of division of labor in society has implications for changes in the type of social solidarity, that is, in societies with very little division of labor will produce a type of mechanical solidarity, whereas in societies with complex division of labor will produce types of organic solidarity. It starts by describing the lives of the Samin people from their origins, the teachings that are followed and the social changes that occur in them. The form of this study is qualitative research. The data in this study are used to understand and interpret the meaning of events and the behavior patterns of the Samin Bojonegoro community. The data obtained comes from historical documents Samin and literature materials in the form of books, video films and scientific journals. Based on the results of the study it can be seen that the condition of the Samin Bojonegoro community has undergone a transformation from traditional to modern society. Although it has undergone changes and modernization in all fields, the Samin community is still synonymous with a mechanical society in terms of solidarity. That is because the Samin community still upholds the teachings of Saminism and practices it until now which has implications for high collective consciousness., Despite undergoing various transformations, the Samin community still upholds the teachings of its ancestors, namely Saminism.Keywords: Social Transformation; Samin Tribe; Emile Durkheim Division of Work, Organic Solidarity; Mechanical Solidarity

In this article, methodological principles and discourse are investigated within the framework of an interdisciplinary pragmasynergetic approach. We are talking about the process of self-organization of educational-pedagogical discourse, the formation of its structure and shaping of the electronic courses as means of optimizing the educational process in order to create conditions for quality teaching. This approach is also important because at present there is the problem of preserving the quality of knowledge while implementing intensive electronic methods of mastering foreign language communication skills. In response to the needs of modern society, a new scientific paradigm is being formed. In particular, in linguistics and linguodidactics, the direction is developing that studies the problems of language, text, discourse combining it with the ideas of synergetics – the theory of self-organization of complex systems. The postulates of pragmalinguistics largely correspond to synergetic principles and indicate the need to integrate these sciences. The significance of the article lies in the fact that the pragmasynergetic interpretation of educational-pedagogical discourse contributes to the development of the study of the structure of discourse as an integral dynamic system.

The process of technological globalization defining features of modern society and economy. The process leads to increasing interconnectedness and integration of national economies and global division of labor between countries. In recent decades, the process has received growing attention from academics and business. Technological globalization has made economic globalization possible. Nevertheless, many scientists claim that there is a crisis in the process of economic globalization. Some scientists state that the process of economic globalization is over, and the world is experiencing the process of deglobalization. Nevertheless, at the same time, there almost none no research dedicated to the process of deglobalization in the technology sphere. The article is aimed at analyzing the current state, risks, and consequences of technological globalization as well as possible directions for future research. The materials may be of interest to researchers of globalization issues, as well as to politicians and economists.
