A European social contract is possible—if the discussion shifts from who has the right to act to who can help. Education is a striking example of Europe’s paradox: the areas that interest its citizens most—education, health, social protection—are those where EU institutions have the least competence. Yet while the main policy responsibility and funding instruments are at national or regional level, the key global trends in education and the reforms they require call for a strong effort from both the EU and its member countries: an extraordinary expansion of the demand for higher education and new skills; a renewed interest in the interaction between technology, education, and society, driven by the advancement of data analysis and artificial intelligence; and a growing concern about the role of education in reducing inequality and social exclusion. Education has a great future—but it will not be education as we know it; the credibility of Europe’s social contract will rest on its capacity to build and communicate the case for change and to articulate a guiding vision for twenty-first-century learning.

Employment development as integral part of national development based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, is held in order development human completely and development the entire Indonesian community for improve dignity, respect and self-esteem of workers and manifest the society whose prosperous, fair, affluent physically and spiritually. Given the importance of the role of laborers in development, especially in the production process, it is naturally that protection, maintenance and development for the welfare of laborers, especially women laborers, should be carried out. Because the laborer position is very weak in compare with the bussinesmen. The position of weak laborer requires the bussiness men to give away social protection guarantee to their laborers. Social guarantee is the right of entire citizen including permanent foreigners. Violations of the implementation of social guarantee means violations of human rights (HAM). This is in line with the mandate of the 1945 Constitution that has been amended namely article 28 letters d (1 and 2),  letter h (3), and article 34 (2); state that the country protects every citizens and entitled on protection from all kinds of danger, intimidation and equal treatment in carrying out their life. In fact, not all companies giving socal guarantee for their laborers, especially women laborers. In which many women laborers are still catagorized as single even though they are the backbone of the family,—because of having unemployed husband or as single parent. Thus, real action in form of advocacy is needed to change the company’s policies. Advocacy is a powerful way to bring positive changes and empower people in their lives.Abstrak. Pembangunan ketenagakerjaan sebagai bagian integral dari pembangunan nasional berdasarkan Pancasila dan Undang-undang dasar 1945, dilaksanakan dalam rangka pembangunan manusia seutuhnya dan pembangunan masyarakat Indonesia seluruhnya untuk meningkatkan harkat, martabat dan harga diri tenaga kerja serta mewujudkan masyarakat sejahtera, adil, makmur dan materiil maupun spriritual. Mengingat pentingnya peranan buruh dalam pembangunan khususnya dalam proses produksi, sudah sewajarnya dilakukan perlindungan, pemeliharaan dan pengembangan terhadap kesejahteraan buruh khususnya buruh perempuan, karena posisi buruh yang sangat lemah jika dibandingkan dengan posisi pengusaha. Posisi buruh yang lemah mengharuskan pengusaha untuk memberikan perlindungan jaminan sosial terhadap para pekerjanya. Jaminan sosial merupakan hak setiap warga negara bahkan termasuk warga negara asing yang menetap. Pelanggaran terhadap pelaksanaan jaminan sosial berarti pelanggaran terhadap hak asasi manusia (HAM). Hal ini sejalan dengan amanat UUD 45 yang telah diamandemen yaitu pasal 28 huruf d (1 dan 2) dan huruf h (3) juga pasal 34 (2); pasal-pasal tersebut menjelaskan bahwa negara melindungi setiap warganya dan berhak atas perlindungan dari segala macam bahaya, intimidasi dan perlakukan yang sama dalam menjalankan hidupnya. Dalam pelaksanaan dilapangan, tidak semua perusahaan melaksanakan jaminan sosial bagi para buruhnya, terutama buruh perempuan. Dimana banyak buruh perempuan yang masih dikategorikan lajang padahal mereka adalah tulang punggung keluarga, baik karena suami yang tidak bekerja maupun sebagai single parent. Sehingga dibutuhkan tindakan nyata dalam bentuk advokasi untuk merubah kebijakan perusahaan tersebut. Advokasi adalah cara ampuh untuk membawa perubahan positif dan memberdayakan orang dalam kehidupan mereka.

Abstract The paper is intended to highlight the key tenets of Szellemiism including education, experience and wisdom and interactions of all three and how Szellemiism can be adopted in the society by creating new social classes, institutional mechanism and social contract. Moreover, Szellemiism emphasizes upon creating the right economic, social and political balance between intellectuals and non-intellectuals. Szellemiism explicitly rejects the idea of equal voting for all eligible citizens, rather it promotes idea of weightage voting based on one’s understanding of environment by objectifying three main elements, one’s education, one’s experience and one’s wisdom by using latest technology of artificial intelligence(AI). Following that philosophy, the three key institutions should be developed including parliament, senate and council of intelligentsia. Afterwards, those three collectively choose the head of state as, the majority tyranny is avoided at each and every stage of intellectocracy and the best among the all is chosen to tackle with complicated and sophisticated national and international challenges. Moreover, Szellemiism supports the idea of a new social contract that ensures timely health, education and livelihood support to the individual by the state but by allowing the state to get maximum private information about one’s self. Hence, the paper concludes that, the new slogan of 21st century would be “Maximum state support with maximum private information”.

In recent years artificial intelligence has entered a new era, which gives rise to many hopes for powerful states such as the United States and China. In this paper, we analyze the importance and role of artificial intelligence in technological development in each of the two countries on the one hand, and its influence on China-American relations in terms of technological and geopolitical conflict. To get the right results, we rely on a literature review of dozens of articles published on the phenomenon in order to compare the power of artificial intelligence between the United States and China where we found that the US still has technological strength, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, but we can say that a large force is beginning pose a threat for it which is China that has great technological capabilities so, we can say that the United States should work more in this field. Also, we found that artificial intelligence has a primary goal in both countries, it helps China to achieve its ambitions to be the leader of the world, and this intelligence, on the other hand, provides protection and security to the United States. This paper is divided into three sections. The first section focuses on the importance of artificial intelligence in achieving China’s ambitions, the second section explains the role of artificial intelligence in the US protection service, and the third section describes the technological and geopolitical conflict resulting from the competition in artificial intelligence between these two countries. Keywords: Artificial intelligence, United States, China, Conflict, leader.

The possibility of using artificial intelligence, modern technologies and algorithms, and going into more details – predictive models, in the judiciary, which was predicted by the authors of science fiction books, has become a fact today. However, this raises a number of concerns, mainly of an ethical nature, and the need to answer philosophical questions regarding the role of a judge, the tasks of the judiciary, access to a court, and the right to defense. Both in the legal system of the Council of Europe and the European Union, numerous normative acts have been made to regulate these issues, but they should be continued and even deepened so that technological progress doesn’t surprise lawyers and doesn’t cause irreversible social consequences.

UNESCO indicates that one of the biggest problems we have to solve in the early twenty-first century is the abolition of differences between individuals and cultures. Intercultural education is a necessary and urgent alternative in order to change the current situation, and ICTs, with their potential to meet and interact with people from different countries and cultures, offer interesting tools in this matter. Argentina acknowledges the right of indigenous people to access bilingual and intercultural education and seeks to improve teachers’ skills to achieve a better quality of education that allows equal opportunities. However, recent research (Slavsky, 2006; Binstock, 2008) has demonstrated that in the province of Neuquen, with a high rate of aboriginal people (Mapuche), the reality is that schools are far from having achieved this target. There is no clear policy to solve this intercultural problem and a program of integration of ICTs in the classroom has not yet been implemented. This chapter presents data on the educational reality of Neuquen and the use of ICTs in schools, based on the opinion of students, teachers, and school managers. It also analyzes the performance of students and its relation to the use of technological tools.
