Digitalia or the significance of social media to everyday life and modern movements is no less significant to the case of Kudankulam. Chapter 9 therefore foregrounds digital activism by focusing on the content and reception of a public letter from British to Indian politicians on the Kudankulam issue. It was written collaboratively in May 2012 by diverse activists in Britain to highlight concerns about mandatory procedures and environmental, democratic, and human rights abuses against non-violent protestors. The letter’s reception evident in news readers’ commentaries point to another series of debates that highlight, on one end of the spectrum, colonial legacies, the stranglehold grip of nationalism and suspicions about the ‘foreign hand’; and on the other, the promise of transparency, accountability, and recompense. In its fallout, the potentials and hurdles in the way of forging a transnational anti-nuclear movement across the global south and north, the formerly colonized and colonizing, are highlighted.

Content published in social media (SM) can be motivating. It can induce action, stimulate demand, and shape opinions. On the other hand, it can demotivate, cause helplessness, or overwhelm with information. Still, the impact of SM is not always the same. The paper aims to analyse the relations between sex, personality, and the way social media is used and motivation to take specific actions. The conclusions are founded on a survey (n = 462). The data were analysed with statistical methods. The study revealed that the use of SM has a significant impact on the motivation to act. Browsing through descriptions and photographs of various achievements posted by others in SM increased the intrinsic motivation of the respondents. Positive comments and emojis had a similar effect. Moreover, women and extraverts noted a significantly greater impact of SM on their intrinsic motivation concerning health and beauty effort, travel, hobby, and public expression of opinions than men and introverts. The results can be useful to recruiters. Extravert women that are open to cooperation, thorough, and well-organised are more likely to be active in SM.

<p align="left"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Focusing at the use of coercion and force against people with intellectual disability </span></strong></p><em><em></em></em><p>The use of coercion and force against people with intellectual disability has been regulated by law in Norway since 1999. Each episode of coercion is challenging the human rights and has the potential to be an act of violation. The requirements for proceedings, ethical considerations and the requirements for professional competences, is special in Norway comparing to the other Scandinavian Countries. The article examines the notifications of coercion and the claim form from the staff working in communities with people with intellectual disability. The notifications of coercion have different approach. The attitude and the way of behavior are strongly related to the approach. The language in the notifications is strongly different. We talk about a subject-subject-relation and a subject-object-relation. It seems like there can be less use of coercion and force, if the staff involved, has the knowledge of how important the relation affect on the good interaction. The staffs own role, in preventing the need of using coercion and force, can be better recognized and improved.</p><em></em>

AbstractSocial Media have changed the way we communicate privately or professionally. So the users have to understand the structures and specific conditions, the ›logics‹ and ›ideologies‹ of these new communication frameworks, they have to learn new rhetorical skills. On the other hand the users themselves develop and transform these media permanently in a creative way, as a part of their own media culture. This paper discusses various forms and requirements of ›Social Media Rhetorics‹ between persistence and dynamics, between accomodation and innovation - especially concerning Weblogs, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other phenomena as e.g. so called ›memes‹.

This article explores the storytelling practices employed in Malala Yousafzai’s life-writing texts as examples of collaboration in the co-construction of an activist agenda. It tracks the narrative ‘I’ and its movements in and out of the plural pronoun ‘we’ as it moves across communities and embraces the legacy of testimonial accounts by both former and contemporary human rights activists. In line with that tradition, it is necessary to include the stories of other victimized people in the life-writing text, so that the result advocates for change on a sociopolitical, not just individual, level. The fact that the texts are mediated by editors, translators, co-authors and collaborators every step of the way paves the collaborative path Global South young women activists traverse, a path fraught with potential pitfalls and ethical difficulties for them and for scholars alike.

This article is an examination of Turkish jurisprudence of comparative rectitude in divorce cases, in terms of human rights and gender. I will focus on the cases in where one spouse (usually the wife) has been adulteress while the other spouse (usually the husband) has committed violence against his spouse. The decisions of the courts claiming the adulteress and violence perpetrator are equal at faults or sometimes violence perpetrator at a lesser fault will be criticized. Critics will be brought on 'fidelity' as a marital duty, which is a vague concept, and its sexist interpretation in legal disputes. Another legal framework in marital duties that does not shape moral or sexual behaviours of the spouses but avoids human rights abuses will be proposed as concluding thoughts.

Marketing is a significant point in agriculture. Without marketing, products that have been resulted may be difficult to sale. Marketing is not just a method to sell products as many as possible for benefits, but it is also the way to keep the existence of produced products on the market. The company also needs to communicate the product and the company itself to the customers, especially in the situation of fierce competition. One of the marketing successes is influenced by the promotions. Many products are not successful in the market because of the promotions failure although in terms of quality are well-established if compared with the other products (simamora, 2003: 284). Promotion program that currently favored by business is by using social media as a way to promote their products especially in companies with low budget. One of companies that uses social media to promote the products is Royal Sandwich. Royal Sandwich is one of the UKM (small and medium enterprises) in the field of convenience food. The aims of this study are: 1) Recognizing various promotion conducted by the Royal Sandwich. 2) Analyzing the effectiveness of promotion media of the fried sandwich product by Royal Sandwich based on the impact of communication. 3) Analyzing the effectiveness of promotion media of the fried sandwich product by Royal Sandwich based on the impact of sale.

In the paper, the authors deal with the victim"s position in the criminal procedure, on the one hand side, and the possibilities of implementing restorative justice and its importance for the improvement of victim"s position in Serbia, on the other one. In the first part of the paper, the authors point out victim"s position within the criminal procedure and the noticed gaps, which are particularly reflected in insufficient paying attention to the victim and neglecting of his/her rights and needs. This is opposite to the strengthening of the rights of the accused party that characterizes societies, which are, as our society, on the way of democratization and improvement of human rights. In the second part of the paper, the authors analyze some solutions that introduce elements of restorative justice into our system of criminal response to crime, but from the victim"s point of view. Finally, the authors also point out some further steps that should be undertaken in order to improve the victim"s position, particularly emphasizing the place and role of victim support service, witness service and special facilities in the courts for victims/witnesses, possibilities of using victim-offender mediation before reporting the crime, or staring the prosecution, or as a part of the treatment in the prison etc.

The pandemic of COVID-19 has brought to the front a particular object: the face mask. I have explored the way people make-meaning of an object generally associated with the medical context that, under exceptional circumstances, can become a presence in everyday life. Understanding how people make meaning of their use is important. Using cultural psychology, I analyse preferences toward different types of face masks people would wear in public. The study involved 2 groups, 44 Norwegian university students and 60 international academics. In particular, I have focused on the role of the mask in regulating people affective experience. The mask evokes safety and fear, it mediates in the auto-dialogue between “I” and “Me” through the “Other”, and in the hetero-dialogue between “I” and the “Other” through “Me” The dialogue is characterized by a certain ambivalence, as expected. Meaning-making is indeed the way to deal with the ambivalence of human existence.
