The paper investigates how the digital technology’ advancement has affected our communal being and what could be done to address these challenges. In doing the research, I employ qualitative research to gather the data by documentation, observation, and interview technique with willing and selected informants. My study finds that excessive usage and inability to control the technology endanger human beings, make them submissive to the technology’ logic, and divide community. Community resilience can be achieved if every family units in the neighbourhood are strong and stable. The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic enhances the widespread use of digital technology in many things, such as the learning process, economic transactions; it has changed the social structure. Despite bringing new opportunities, digital technology also presents significant challenges on issues such as gender relations in the family, patterns of parent-child relationships, and even on community health and cohesion. Digital technology might influence the shift of habitus. Still, parents and educational institutions also have the opportunities to contend the digital technological-based habitus and become the axis for the formation of a new habitus for people to navigate their lives guided by love, compassion, and respect.

An analysis of the social pedagogical work with difficult children is presented, outlining characteristics, specifics and approaches for prevention and social accompaniment. In order to highlight the specifics of this group of children, a comparison is made with two other groups of children in a situation of life difficulty - "socially disadvantaged children" and "children at risk". The analysis refers to the understanding that difficult children are children with impaired emotional development, difficulty in communicating with others and disrupted behavioral control, all of which can lead to consequences both on a personal and behavioral level. It is emphasized that difficult children turn into such in situations where adults cannot find an adequate approach to them, and most often these adults are members of the family, parents, or teachers. An overview of scientific positions on difficult children by English, American, Russian and Bulgarian researchers is offered. This is the basis for outlining the main spheres which affect children negatively and categorize them as "difficult children" - emotional-personal; learning-cognitive; behavioral; somatic. The reasons for children’s difficult behavior are examined, including: the family and the flaws in it; the lack of spiritual connection between parents and children; the asocial environment; participation in criminal groups; errors in the work of educational institutions; economic difficulties that have influenced all spheres of public life. The characteristics of problem children are presented that account for the formulation of the principles of social pedagogical work with them. It is emphasized that one of the important approaches in the work is the development of skills for social inclusion, social expression and self-assertion. The model for social pedagogical work with difficult children is developed in two aspects: preventive work and social accompaniment. Preventive work consists in constantly informing all stakeholders - teachers, educators, non-pedagogical staff in educational institutions and the family on the opportunities for preventing "difficult children" on the one hand, and ensuring interaction between the participants in the preventive activities as well as striving to attract more organizations and institutions, on the other. The social accompaniment as a social pedagogical work includes: identification of children with difficult behavior at the earliest stage of the disadaptation process, diagnosis of the factors of the difficult behavior and the reasons for the disadvantage, preparation of an individual road map for working with the child, implementation of the individual program for accompanying the child, measuring and analyzing the results of the child's work and his / her close circle.

The reception of Thomistic political and legal philosophy is considered with respect to what is called ‘political liberalism’. The appeal to a hypothetical state of nature should be rejected, as it misconstrues the social nature of human beings. Aquinas’ account of the origin of political society starts from an interpretation of human nature. On this basis one can account for human rights, the importance of the right to religious liberty, the family as the basic cell of society, civil society as including subsidiary authorities, the importance of private property, and the nature and role of freedom. A key question for the continued flourishing of a free society is what practically enables persons to govern for the genuine good of others.

AbstractThe proliferation of digital technology has swelled the amount of time people spent in cyberspace and weakened our sensibility of the physical world. Human beings in this digital era are already cyborgs as the smart devices have become an integral part of our life. Imagining a future where human totally give up mobile phones and embrace nature is neither realistic nor reasonable. What we should aim to explore is the opportunities and capabilities of digital technology in terms of fighting against its own negative effect - cyber addiction, and working as a catalyst that re-embeds human into outdoor world.Cyborgian systems behave through embedded intelligence in the environment and discrete wearable devices for human. In this way, cyborgian approach enables designers to take advantages of digital technologies to achieve two objectives: one is to improve the quality of environment by enhancing our understanding of non-human creatures; the other is to encourage a proper level of human participation without disturbing eco-balance.Finally, this paper proposed a cyborgian eco-interaction design model which combines top-down and bottom-up logics and is organized by the Internet of Things, so as to provide a possible solution to the concern that technologies are isolating human and nature.

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic is influencing individuals' work-life balance over the globe. For scholastics, control approaches established by most nations have inferred an unexpected change to work from home, a progress to internet educating and tutoring, and an alteration of research works. In this paper we talk about in what way the COVID-19 emergency is influencing the work of academics. We contend that scholarly world must cultivate a culture of care, assist us with new focus on what is generally significant, and rethink greatness in educating and examination. Such re-direction can make scholastic practice more conscious and reasonable, presently during control yet in addition once the pandemic has passed. We finish up giving functional proposals on the best way to reestablish our training, which definitely involves re-surveying the social-mental, political, and ecological ramifications of scholastic exercises and our scale of values. Work from home turned into a need because of lockdown requirements. As governments are right now detailing conventions to permit organizations to resume their commercial establishments and reboot the economic juncture, a few colleges and educational institutions are continuing warily and making arrangements to provide teaching distantly toward the beginning of the new academic year. In any case, the pandemic has made it compulsory to work from home and this has demonstrated testing in various manners for the academics. The corona virus has closed down institutional offices, including research centers, libraries and documents, and halted field activities. Libraries are attempting their best to offer computerized assets; however a significant number of these have not been digitized or bought.  Be that as it may, reality paints an alternate picture. Academics have needed to figure out how to utilize new innovation rapidly to educate team up, and give understudy oversight. They have needed to locate a tranquil space in their homes - which is more diligently when the family unit remembers small children for need of recreation or self-teaching - to keep arranging and writing papers. Education organizations may be helpful, however they despite everything have a few desires for productiveness.

This article discusses the paradigm of child education in the family in the Digital Age in the perspective of Islamic education. Digital technology as the main feature of the digital era has two different sides, one side provides benefits, on the other hand causes damage. The benefits include ease of various aspects of the information needed, the presence of a variety of educational media and other positive content. Whereas the damage includes the strengthening of instant culture, the ease of children to access various inappropriate content, the rise of various criminalization in cyberspace etc. The paradigm of family education built in the digital era should pay attention to the reality of the present condition. This refers to the reality of the current generation that is very close to the digital world. Therefore, the educational approach should also be adapted to the conditions of children in this era. The important efforts that parents can make towards their children's education in the family are: (1) able to understand the potential and development of children; (2) able to understand the educational content that must be transmitted to their children; (3) able to recognize digital media both aspects of benefits and negative impacts; (4) able to use digital media as a means of education.
