This chapter analyzes the first wave of the revolution against Hosni Mubarak. Refuting arguments that focus on the role of the social media, or divisions among the elite, and the alleged neutrality of the Egyptian military, the chapter illustrates that it was a revolutionary coalition of the middle and lower classes that created a breaking point for the regime. Key features of this mass mobilization included the refusal of protesters to be cowed by state violence, the creation of “liberated zones” occupied by the people, “popular security” organizations that replaced the repressive security apparatus of the state, and strikes that crippled the economy in the final days of the Mubarak era. Key moments during the 18 days are described with ethnographic detail, including the unfiltered reactions of protesters to the deployment of soldiers on January 28. The revolutionary nature of the uprising is that people demanded more than just the ouster of Mubarak—they wanted to topple “the regime” by naming the names of a slew of Mubarak’s cronies to remove them from power.

This article analyzes the 2011 uprising in Egypt in order to understand how an entrenched autocratic ruler could be toppled in a mere eighteen days. Refuting arguments that focus on the role of the social media, or divisions among the elite, and the alleged neutrality of the Egyptian military, I argue that a revolutionary coalition of the middle and lower classes created a breaking point for the regime. Key features of this mass mobilization included the refusal of protesters to be cowed by state violence, the creation of "liberated zones" occupied by the people, as well as "popular security" organizations that replaced the repressive security apparatus of the state, and strikes that crippled the economy in the final days of the Mubarak era. My research is based on participant observation in and around Tahrir Square as well as dozens of interviews with Egyptian citizens.

Shed Light

Over the last few years the nature of communication has undergone a substantial change and it is still changing. Especially the revolution in social networking systems has tremendously changed the way of social communication. Modern social media opens up the possibilities of learning, discovering and sharing ideas and interacting with one another. Ethics and values are the spiritual aspect of any religion and civilization. Islam is the comprehensive moral guide line for the whole mankind, which requires being spread out to them around the world. The Prophet (SAAS) also said, “Convey my teachings to the people even if it were a single sentence” (Bukhari, Hadith No. 667). So in the modern and cyber era, the practice of promoting moral values can be performed in many ways. Though there are no experimental studies regarding the use of social media in promoting ethics (dā’wah), this study will shed light on the understanding of how social media should be utilized for this purpose. It recommends, therefore, that the social media should be used by religious callers to improve the scalability of their dā’wah towards contemporary societies.

The Relationship

There can be no doubt that criminology has taken something of a visual turn, as evidenced by increasing numbers of articles, conference panels, edited volumes, monographs, and seminar series that support visual research within criminology and related fields (Brown, 2014; Carrabine, 2012; Brown & Carrabine, 2016; Lippens et al., 2013). This development has come with important calls for both direct, empirical engagement with images, as well as new methodological approaches that mobilize images for a “politically charged analysis” (Hayward, 2010, p. 3). While visual criminology, as it has come to be known, has taken up the importance of the image, the issue of representation, and the photograph, it has been slower to engage on the terrain of visuality, a concept that can sometimes slip into shorthand for the realm of the visual, but which means something more closely resembling an authorized view of society and history (Mirzoeff, 2011a). Visuality is the production, representation, and naturalization of state power that at once fabricates order and, in doing so, organizes the available vocabularies for describing and challenging it. Visuality is a mechanism by which the quotidian violence underwriting authority is made illegible and unseeable. a process that relies on knowledge production for legitimacy and consent. It is here, at the intersections of visuality’s naturalization of the everyday violence of law and its naturalization of an authorized constellation of ideas and terms from which to draw meaning about the world, that the role of criminology must be considered. As a science of crime and punishment, criminology is both subordinate to the terms and ideologies of the state and continually reproduces and reifies those terms by providing the gloss of scientific objectivity. Criminology is largely managerial and reformist, a discipline dependent on the state as much for grant monies and evaluation projects as for the very normative terms of study—crime, law, punishment—that underwrite its very existence and relevance. Yet, the relationship between criminology and visuality is not one of wholehearted subservience and hegemony. Even as the discipline should be understood as an important intellectual prosthetic in the state’s fabrication of social order through technologies of illumination, capture, and mapping, visuality is never complete and criminology is not uniform. Indeed, criminology has an established if uneven lineage of radical interventions into the common sense of state violence. The question remains open as to the role criminology might play in enacting counter-visuality, an intellectual and political project aimed at inscribing in the social body the capacities to render such violence legible.

O artigo aponta que uma das questões vinculadas à inserção dos países latino-americanos no sistema mundial interfere significativamente na reprodução do capital e, ao mesmo tempo, ergue-se em um dos principais aspectos da intensidade dos movimentos sociais: o caráter persistentemente extrativista das nossas economias. Nesta senda, aatuação do Estado, com viés desenvolvimentista pautado pelo financiamento e fortalecimento do setor privado, tem favorecido o agronegócio (freando a reforma agrária e as reivindicações dos quilombolas e indígenas), executando uma agenda de ampliação da infraestrutura (portos, hidrelétricas, estradas e políticas energéticas, para citar alguns) e facilitado à extração de minérios ao sul do Rio Bravo. Dimensões desses elementos têm provocado a reação das populações desde os lugarejos mais recônditos da Nossa América, com mobilizações populares, frequentemente isoladas pelos meios de comunicação de massas, e com o desmonte da virulência daqueles mais consolidados (como o MST no caso brasileiro). Ao mesmo tempo, no caso das grandes obras de infraestrutura, registra-se a proteção estatal ao regime precário de trabalho, com vistas a privilegiar esses setores estratégicos para o grande capital. Tendo em vista a dispersão geográfica desses movimentos sociais, assim como a desarticulação que se observa daqueles que não pouco tempo atrás se confrontavam com as políticas estatais, torna-se necessário pensar as possibilidades de unificação dessa diversidade de reivindicações aliadas às demandas dos trabalhadores.Palavras-chave: Estado, extrativismo, movimentos sociais.THE LATIN AMERICAN EXTRACTIVE “VOCATION” AND THE SOCIAL MOVEMENTSAbstract: The article points that one of the issues related to the integration of Latin American countries in the world system significantly interferes with the reproduction of capital and, at the same time, rise up in one of the main aspects of the intensity of social movements: the character of our economies persistently extractive. In this vein, the role of the State, with a bias guided by a development ruled in funding and strengthening the private sector, has consistently favored agribusiness (braking the agrarian reform and the demands of the quilombolas and indigenous people), performing an agenda for expansion of infrastructure (ports, hydroelectric plants, roads and energy policies, to name a few) and facilitated the extraction of ores from south of the Rio Bravo. The extent of these elements has triggered the reaction of the people from the most remote villages of Our America, with popular mobilizations, often isolated by mass communication, and with the dismantling of virulence of those more established (as in the Brazilian MST ). At the same time, in the case oflarge infrastructure projects, it was possible to observe the state protection for precarious work arrangements, in order to privilege these strategic sectors for great capital. In view of the geographic dispersion of these social movements, as well as the disarticulation is observed among those that recently clashed with state policies, it is necessary to consider thepossibilities of unifying this diversity of claims allied with the demands of the workers.Keywords: State, extractivism, social movements.

As a result of many hoaxes on social media, there are many divisions between the people as expressed in this empirical study. If it is carefully observed that the main problem is not in the development of science and technology globally, but the problem is there are every person who uses the technology irresponsibly because humans are too spoiled with various facilities of technological sophistication so that there is no control when someone is free to express opinions in social media.

Dengan melihat berbagai fonomena ini maka tulisan ini hadir sebagai upaya memberi pemahaman dan edukasi kepada masyarakatuntuk ikut berpatisipasi dalam memerangi berita hoaks di media sosial. Tujuan kajian ini mengajak seluruh umat Tuhan untuk berkontribusi dan peduli terhadap persolan-persoalan sosial yang sedang meresahkan masyarakat saat ini.

Primary Plate

Myanmar is an earthquake-prone country in SE Asia and all types of faulting such as strike-slip, normal, and reverse are occurring all over Myanmar territory. Apart from surface faults, the India oceanic plate is subducting obliquely beneath Burma continental plate along Sunda subduction zone. The interaction between the India plate, the Burma plate and Eurasia plate appears to be characterized by the initiation of major movements between plates switching from one to another within this tectonic region. The Sagaing Fault is a primary plate boundary between the Burma plate and Indochina plate along which most of the relative motion has occurred and will continue to occur for the geologic future. According to seismicity record in Myanmar, most of the earthquakes occurred either in the evening or at midnight or at dawn. So the people become scary because earthquake occurs without warnings. During such situation, people run immediately outside the building to the open space due to people’s survival instincts. People have anxiety which is a normal response to frightening situation. The social media interviews the earthquake researchers/ earthquake geologists why the earthquake occurs and how to protect them during earthquake. By disseminating the information on social networks, people become aware of the earthquake disaster and become focusing on effective preparedness.
