This article highlights how the media, especially television, have per, ceived women's bodies. TV has proven itself to be a powerful medium to develop public opinion, including that with regard to women's bodies. TV has propagates many different types of women's bodies: beautiful women, ugly women, nice women with all their characteristics. The State is also interested in controlling women's bodies. This can be seen from the conceptualization of legal draft on pornography that targeted women. Thus media and the state have competed to rule women's bodies as though they are commodity object, whereas women themselves, the right owners of the bodies, are usually left behind in this discourse. The author suggests that women's voice should be listened and considered seriously in this matter, because women are the owners of their bodies.

The Impact

The article describes the impact of the Mass Media on the formation of the worldview of the young. This impact may be positive or negative. On the one hand, the media educate young people and enhance their participation in public life. On the other hand, they may mislead or promote false values, and manipulate the young generation’s consciousness. What helps people not to get involved into the tried-and-true crowd manipulation scheme in the media landscape is critical thinking, whose lack results in inability to choose the right guidelines in the flow of false information provided by various Media. The authors emphasize the role of the state, which, regarding the needs of the society, should enculturate the young generation, as well as exercise tight control over communication in the global web and publications in the Internet Media and social networks. One of the directions of the state’s policy is expanding the geography of information and communication technologies, and the other is ensuring information security of the young in general and adolescents in particular. To provide this, the state develops organizational and legal mechanisms aimed at protecting children from harmful information in the web, and requirements for the content, its expert evidence and government control. The article demonstrates the results of a study carried out by the authors to assess the current youth Media and their influence on criminality. The key criterion for selecting participants of the focus group was young age, since the young are the most active and the least protected players in the media landscape. The sampling was made by random choice in order to ensure equal opportunities for participation in the study.

Takfir (Judging others as disbeliever) is a deviation from the right path and a serious social scourge that could destroy a structure of a society, ignite the flame of hatred and crumb a foundation of a state. The state thus will become disorder, unrest, left behind and underdeveloped. It resembles the biggest deviation in religiosity. Thus, this study tries to look upon the case as well as the correct interpretation of the Prophet's Hadiths about it. It will examine some of the Prophet's Hadiths relating to creed, ethics, worship, society, family, economy, crimes, politics and military. The conclusion of this study is the main reason for the presence of takfir in Islam is the false interpretation of Islamic resources. The takfir is an Islamic ruling and is Allah and His Messenger’s privilege. Wrong deeds or person with clear evidence from the revelation of its or his blasphemy is considered disbeliever otherwise he is not unless clear evidence or true conditions show it. Regarding the Prophet's hadith, somehow it has two conditions; either it is explicitly or implicitly stated and has supported from other evidence or it does not explicitly or implicitly state which is unreasonable. Therefore, it considered as false interpretation. The Prophet did mention about two types of blasphemy; first: major blasphemy, it is within a narrow range and can not be known except the person explicitly admit it. Thus, he shall forever in the hell. While the second is minor blasphemy which can be found in practics and deeds, which is the most. The doer will be considered as guilty and committed a major sin and shall be punished in the hell for a certain period.

AbstractPolitical leaders across Africa frequently accuse the media of promoting homosexuality, while activists often use the media to promote pro-LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) narratives. Despite extensive research on how the media affects public opinion, including studies that show how exposure to certain information can increase support of LGBTQs, there is virtually no research on how the media influences attitudes towards LGBTQs across Africa. This study develops a theory that accounts for actors' mixed approach to the media and shows how different types of media create distinct effects on public opinion of LGBTQs. Specifically, the study finds that radio and television have no, or a negative, significant effect on pro-gay attitudes, whereas individuals who consume more newspapers, internet or social media are significantly more likely to support LGBTQs (by approximately 2 to 4 per cent). The author argues that these differential effects are conditional on censorship of queer representation from certain mediums. The analysis confirms that the results are not driven by selection effects, and that the relationship is unique to LGBTQ support but not other social attitudes. The results have important implications, especially given the growing politicization of same-sex relations and changing media consumption habits across Africa.

One of the privileges which the Athenians prized very highly was parrhesia—the right of free speech. From the foundation of the democracy until the dangers of uncensored speech in the Pelopon-nesian War made some restraint advisable this privilege remained unimpaired, and it is an important part of their political, if not of their social, system. The recognition of this right of free speech should mean that no grievance need remain unspoken, and that politicians could be well informed about the state of public opinion.

Freedom of the press is one of the best ways of reflecting and shaping public opinion about the ideas and attitudes of political leaders, public figures or those entrusted with public functions. Freedom of the press is also an opportunity to depict reprehensible phenomena such as corruption, fraud, crime or nepotism. The press may be faced with types of subjects that may cause dilemmas for the journalist. Whose interest should above all be represented: the interest of the society or the state? What is more important: the right to privacy or the right of access to information?

Abstract Recent years have witnessed a growing aversion to immigration worldwide and, at the same time, radicalization of public opinion on the issue. This paper explores the relationship between media news and individual attitudes to immigration. We run an empirical analysis whereby an index capturing individuals’ pro-immigration attitude, measured in 19 countries, is regressed over indexes capturing the coverage and tone of media news about immigration. We find that pro-immigration attitudes are negatively correlated with media coverage and the negative tone of news. However, this correlation is significant only for those with high trust in the media. In the case of low trust, higher coverage of immigration and a negative news slant make previous preferences and beliefs vis-à-vis immigration more extreme, yielding a lower pro-immigration index for those politically on the right, while the opposite applies to those on the left. The pro-immigration index is constructed by means of fuzzy methods to account for the many aspects defining attitudes to immigration.

O presente texto tem como objetivo analisar o curta-metragem sergipano “O corpo é meu (2014)”, de Luciana Oliveira Vieira, interpelando o corpo da mulher como suporte material da mídia a partir das narrativas trazidas pela diretora na obra fílmica. O escrito se propõe a desnaturalizar as práticas que usam o corpo da mulher para fazer girar as engrenagens do capitalismo neoliberal relegando-as a objetos de consumo ou a corpos consumidores. Acredita-se que o documentário analisado foi representativo na medida em que se propõe a abalar e transformar pela – e na – luta coletiva de mulheres as dinâmicas tradicionais e conservadoras da sociedade. “O corpo é meu” se torna um mecanismo simbólico, uma produção cultural descolonizadora que evidencia a captura dessa transformação no estado de Sergipe, como parte de uma dinâmica cultural nacional e internacional comprometida com a ressignificação da existência da mulher.Palavras-chave: Documentário “O corpo é meu”. Mídia. Mulher. Corpo.ABSTRACTThe present text aims to analyze the 2014 short film from Sergipe called “O corpo é meu” by Luciana Oliveira Vieira questioning the woman’s body as material support of the media from the narratives brought by the director in the film work. The writing proposes to denaturalize practices that use women’s bodies to spin the gears of neoliberal capitalism by relegating them to consumer objects or consumer bodies. It is believed that the analyzed documentary was representative in that it proposes to shake and transform through – and within – the collective struggle of women the traditional and conservative dynamics of society. “It’s my body” becomes a symbolic mechanism, a decolonizing cultural production that highlights the capture of this transformation in the state of Sergipe, as part of a national and international cultural dynamic committed to the re-signification of women’s existence.Keywords: Documentary “O corpo é meu”.

The Impact

Public opinion formed in the conditions of the political regime and determined by political and legal processes, the activity of their subjects, the media, the impact of globalization on the information openness of the state, legal unification, and legal and cultural dynamics. Opinion manifests and forms consciousness and acts as an element of the institutions of society. Its mechanism manifested in the behavior of subjects, motivated by changes in the content of their judgments. Public opinion contains emotional and mental judgments and carry out evaluative, analytical, regulatory functions. Political and legal judgments formed in the channels of communication between the public and the authorities, objectified in the form of analytical comments by experts and the media. Public opinion is a collective value judgment, has a communicative nature, is formed in the context of changes in the technologies of social dialogue, and opinion becomes a factor of public administration. The peculiarity of interaction between public opinion and government reflects the relationship between the state, law and society and gives rise to political and legal regimes of interaction between government and public opinion. Their originality depends on the type of attitude of the state power towards it. Especially in the context of a democratic transition for societies with an unstable hybrid form of political regime, which are delimited depending on the democracy of electoral laws, consideration of opinions in laws, forms of discussions with the authorities and forms of expression of opinions. In the methodology of public opinion research, factor analysis is advisable since it significantly directed by laws and is a significant factor in influencing the dynamics of legislation - the legal basis of government institutions and the private sphere of society. Information technologies are a resource of power and turn public opinion into an object of influence. It reveals the risks of the impact of hidden, latent public opinion and the purposeful formation of artificial, pseudo-public opinion by the authorities as result of the use of methods of manipulating power resources in the legal sphere. This preserves the ability for the authorities to change the markers of public opinion and artificially create the appearance of legitimate grounds to lobby for the content of legal policy, the drafting of laws, and law enforcement decisions, which is desirable for public authorities.
