This article analyzes an attempt to construct a new identity for Jews born on the territory of the Mandatory Palestine, the so-called Sabras, between the First and Second World Wars. The characteristic features of this identity included the deliberate brutality, the combination of peasant labor with the skills of armed self-defense, collectivism and a conscious break with the diaspora past. The external attributes of the sabras were the wearing of simple but comfortable clothes of the inhabitants of the kibbutzim and the cultivation of Hebrew. Sabras become a role model for Jewish youth who arrived in Israel and those who were already born here. The attractiveness of the sabra’s image was enhanced through advertising posters, cinematography, and literature. This model of identity is of interest as an attempt to return to the origins of Hebrew history, as well as to raise a generation of “new Jews” devoid of any shortcomings that complicated the life of Jews in exile. The artificiality of this model and its isolation from Israeli realities were among the main reasons that led to the collapse of the myth of the super-sabra. At the same time, this myth laid the foundations for a different perception of the Jews both by themselves and by the world community, contributing to the victory of Israel in the war of independence.

This article aims to examine the legacy and policy of AK Party in Turkey, Ennahda’s political movement in Tunisia, and Jamaat-e-Islami (BJI) in Bangladesh, which is ostensibly identified with Islamic political ideology and acquainted with the world as a ‘moderate-conservative political Islam party.’ The study interrogates the nature, processes, and the characteristic features of the three countries’ administrative system, comparatively from three regions of the world, particularly from the Middle East and Europe region, Africa and Arab region, and the South Asian region. This study also highlights these political parties’ history, political ideology differences, and their practices reflective of democratic principles from a theoretical perspective on politics, policy, and philosophy. It also acknowledges whether the political development of Turkey from 2002 onward is feasible for Bangladeshi and Tunisian Islamic political parties to accept as a role model in their political arena.

Christian History

Characteristic features of Christianity of the twentieth century were the consolidation of his denominations around social problems and holding inter-Christian theological and missionary conferences. These components of Christian history of the last century are connected with ecumenism. Ecumenism, in turn, influenced the initiation of a dialogue between Christianity and other religions, most notably Judaism and Islam. Thus, a comprehensive study of ecumenism will not only enable us to better understand contemporary Christianity and try to predict further ways of its development, but also on the basis of it to understand the inter-religious dialogue, which largely depends on the future of the world community.

When the world came to its senses after the Second World War and reports of the horrors of the Holocaust began to spread, the international community reacted with disbelief. And when reality proved much worse than even the worst nightmare, the world community reacted unanimously with a general outcry: crimes of this magnitude must never happen again. It appeared quite clear that, in the future, the international community would never again remain inactive in the face of such appalling tragedy. Yet, the firm imperative “never again” has become “again and again,” and the same dreadful crimes have been repeated in many parts of the world.

International institutions, conventions, agreements, etc. did not realize the main task after the Second World War – maintaining peace, preventing wars, crises, world shocks through diplomatic regulation. Actual is the issue of identifying the causes, analyzing them and proposing solutions to the problems that have arisen before the world community. The new mechanism, which is proposed, should be based on the understanding of naturalness for a certain nation, race, take into account primarily the mental, historical, cultural, and other realities of the people living. The first priority task for international law is to protect and develop issues of global importance, which really affect the interests of each person regardless of their place of residence, but now we observe interference, imposing a model of white democracy for each region.

In the 21st century, economics and ecology have become even more closely interconnected and have a direct impact by each other than before. Ecologization of the economy is a focused process aimed at transforming economic activity by reducing the negative human impact on the environment. The article considers the causes, essence, main goals and principles of this process. As a result of the conducted research it was found out that the beginning of the concept of ecologization of economy is considered to be the second half of the XX century, when the world community began to pay special attention to the problems of negative impact of man on nature. In addition, the paper highlights the main characteristic features of this phenomenon, which include the orientation of economic activities towards rational use of natural resources and the transition to resource-saving sectors of the economy.

The article deals with the the periods of origin of international organizations and their specific diplomatic language. It focuses on the emergence of some institutions after the Second World War and the importance of their functions and the expansion of the English language across the world community. It is obvious that for more than seven decades a specialized variant of English has become widespread in the language of diplomants and statesmen. Currently, it is used to implement most development programs. The article also highlights characteristics of problems of such language translations since it has a lot of specialized terms and jargons. Moreover, some expressions mean different things to different users, which prevent their correct understanding as well. The problem is that these terms remain unchanged in English, while in other languages they are translated differently, sometimes changing the meaning, arising double standards and, naturally, as a result, fail to achieve correct understanding.

During the twenty years after the Second World War, housing began to be seen as a basic right among many in the west, and the British welfare state included many policies and provisions to provide decent shelter for its citizens. This article focuses on the period circa 1968–85, because this was a time in England when the lack of affordable, secure-tenured housing reached a crisis level at the same time that central and local governmental housing policies received wider scrutiny for their ineffectiveness. My argument is that despite post-war laws and rhetoric, many Britons lived through a housing disaster and for many the most rational way they could solve their housing needs was to exploit loopholes in the law (as well as to break them out right). While the main focus of the article is on young British squatters, there is scope for transnational comparison. Squatters in other parts of the world looked to their example to address the housing needs in their own countries, especially as privatization of public services spread globally in the 1980s and 1990s. Dutch, Spanish, German and American squatters were involved in a symbiotic exchange of ideas and sometimes people with the British squatters and each other, and practices and rhetoric from one place were quickly adopted or rejected based on the success or failure in each place.

Cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as humiliate the dignity, are prohibited in most countries of the world, and Russia is no exception in this issue. The article presents an analysis of the institution of responsibility for torture in the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that the current criminal law of Russia superficially and fragmentally regulates liability for torture, in connection with which the author formulated the proposals to define such act as an independent crime. In the frame of modern globalization, the world community pays special attention to the protection of human rights, in connection with which large-scale international standards have been created a long time ago. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international acts enshrine prohibitions of cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as degrade the dignity.Considering the historical experience of the past, these standards focus on the prohibition of any kind of torture, regardless of the purpose of their implementation.
