The purpose of this study is to investigate the future development of multicultural family support center through the integrated research methodology of quantitative and qualitative analysis that integrates the data analysis of the statistics office of the multicultural family policy and the interview of the college student of the social welfare major. We will produce data that can contribute to the improvement of multicultural family policy and service delivery system And Focus Group Interview (FGI) was conducted in order to be a basis for policy direction based on the awareness of multicultural family support for students of social welfare major. The social welfare major students attending FGI were composed of 3 female students, 3 male students and 4th grade students, who completed courses related to multicultural family support program at Cheongju S University. The direction of the multicultural family support policy recognized by college students in social welfare is to include the concept of multiculturalism within the range of various families and define the meaning of multiculturalism as a multicultural family. In order to do so, social recognition needs to be changed in a way that recognizes diversity. The role of the delivery system for supporting multicultural families, including the Multicultural Family Support Center, should be divided into urban, rural, and urban and rural complexes based on the region. It is necessary to focus on supporting multicultural families in the early stages of multicultural family formation. And that it is necessary to support various services to a wide range of subjects. Within the first three years after marriage, intensive family integration education will help understanding cultural differences and marriage, and above all, Korean language one and two levels of intensive education are needed to prevent problems caused by language differences

This study aimed to examine sports programs at multicultural family support centers located throughout the country and present the possibility of social integration through the sports programs. The multicultural sports program showed that it affected the ability of migrant women in international marriages to socially integrate with other women like themselves, their husbands, and the natives, and also affected themselves. In order to clarify the purpose of the research, in-depth interviews were carried out. The collected material was transcribed, encoded, and classified. The results were analyzed from the perspective of sports’ physical, psychological, and social functions. This social integration was shown to be more effective than any other program at the multicultural family support center. Regarding their relationship with their husbands, the program provided opportunities for deepening their mutual understanding. The sports program was also utilized as a place of leisure for the women as well, and it was discovered that sports activities were being used as a means of resolving stress. The migrant women’s life radius and interpersonal relations were small due to their limited linguistic abilities. They provided opportunities to form confidence in their Korean life.

It is easy to see that social robots will need the ability to detect and evaluate deceptive speech; otherwise they will be vulnerable to manipulation by malevolent humans. More surprisingly, we argue that effective social robots must also be able to produce deceptive speech. Many forms of technically deceptive speech perform a positive pro-social function, and the social integration of artificial agents will be possible only if they participate in this market of constructive deceit. We demonstrate that a crucial condition for detecting and producing deceptive speech is possession of a theory of mind. Furthermore, strategic reasoning about deception requires identifying a type of goal distinguished by its priority over the norms of conversation, which we call an ulterior motive. We argue that this goal is the appropriate target for ethical evaluation, not the veridicality of speech per se. Consequently, deception-capable robots are compatible with the most prominent programs to ensure that robots behave ethically.

Recent research on the development of social investment has demonstrated reform progress not only in different regions of Europe, but also in Latin America and South-East Asia. However, the specific substance of the social investment agendas varies strongly between these regions. Why have social investment ideas and policies been more developed in some regions and countries than in others? Building on the theoretical framework of this volume, our chapter suggests that the content of regional social investment agendas depends on policy legacies in terms of investment vs consumption-oriented policies and their interaction with structural pressures. In a second step, we argue that the chances of social investment agendas to be implemented depend on the availability of political support coalitions between organizational representatives of the educated middle classes and either business or working-class actors. We illustrate our claims with reference to family policy developments in France, Germany, and Switzerland.

Traditionally Germany has been categorized as the archetypical conservative welfare state, a categorization not systematically questioned in much of the comparative welfare state regime literature. For many scholars Germany was largely stuck and unable to reform its coordinated market economy and welfare state arrangements at the turn of the twenty-first century, due to a large number of veto points and players and the dominance of two ‘welfare state parties’. More recent research has highlighted a widening and deepening of the historically institutionalized social protection dualism, whilst at the same time significant family policy transformations, which can be considered as partially in line with the social investment paradigm, have been emphasized. This chapter sets out to sketch the main policy developments and aims to identify political determinants of social policy change in Germany.
