This chapter attempts to develop an understanding of the moral conditions of secular society by tracing its history. The social impact of the secularization process only really became visible in the 1960s. After the earlier separation of church and state, religion in the West also pulled back on a societal level. Historically and culturally that is quite a unique situation, about which the last word has not yet been said. Many churches emptied, but attention to religion is everywhere. Is this because of Islam? How should we relate to religion and its new visibility? The chapter considers secularization since the 1960s as a large-scale field experiment with morality.

Impact Of Technology

Introduction. Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the promising innovative technologies. Every year more and more people are involved in the use of smart things. At the same time, a relatively small number of papers are devoted to the study of the social value of technology and the experience of human interaction with this technology. It is important to study the features and prospects of the technology, to analyze the attitude and willingness of people to use it. Materials and Methods. We have conducted an Internet survey, in which special attention is paid to the place of IoT in the life of modern people, their attitude to the concept of devices. The obtained data is processed and systematized. Results. The analysis of the survey results allowed us to draw conclusions regarding the attitude and willingness of young people to apply this technology. In the course of the study, the IoT concept was defined, the conditions required for the existence and functioning of the technology were described, the advantages of IoT technology were generalized, information technologies interacting with this technology were specified, the tasks that require solutions for the successful and effective implementation of IoT into Russian reality were listed. Discussion and Conclusions. The Internet of Things is a technology that, with a consistent and systematic solution to a number of problems, can become a significant factor in the development of both individual spheres of life and activity, and the country as a whole. At the same time, it is important to study and consider the social impact of technology dissemination. This will increase trust in the IoT and eliminate negative impacts. The survey shows that young people tend to use smart things more widely. It is necessary to expand the range of smart things, to more confidently introduce the basics of practical application of IoT technology into educational programs, to discuss issues, ways to solve the tasks and pilot projects related to this technology widely in the media. This will enable to train not only people who are practically interested in IoT, but also qualified personnel who are able to solve problems in a new way.

National image is a clear information perception of a country in the international community, reecting a country's international inuence and comprehensive national power. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the dramatic changes in the international order and landscape. As a result, there is a widespread perception in the West that the current international order has not only encountered serious challenges from emerging powers but has also led to confusion in the perception of globalisation within the West. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the breadth and depth of attention paid to "China" in the German mainstream media have continued to rise. This study will further investigate how the image of China is constructed in cross-cultural media communication, based on the national image of China in German mainstream media coverage of China during the COVID-19 Pandemic and ideological analysis of the discursive contexts in which it is produced. This paper is basically structured as a review of the traditions and rules of the German press, an analysis of the operational characteristics of the German press industry under the COVID-19 pandemic, the social impact of German media coverage on China, and an analysis of this news production mechanism, followed by an analysis of the game between the Chinese and Western value systems and discourse power displayed by the German media during the COVID-19 pandemic, an analysis of the value orientation of the German media towards the construction of China's national image. This is followed by an academic exploration of the background and public opinion effects of the " China Phobia ". This paper also examines the changes in the social structure of Germany as a result of the pandemic, Sino-German and Sino-European relations in the context of the Sino-American conict, and the evolution of a sense of "sovereign Europe" and the current international order.
