Historical Epoch

Straipsnis yra platesnio šiuolaikinės Lietuvos visuomenės mąstymo pokyčių tyrimo dalis. Vadovaujamasi prielaida, kad kiekviena kultūra, istorinė epocha sukuria savo individo ir jo mąstysenos tipą. Aptariami materialieji ir idealieji veiksniai, kurie lemia individo gyvenseną, veiklos motyvaciją ir mąstymą. Tų veiksnių visumai apibrėžti vartojama paradigmos sąvoka. Aptariamos pagrindinės socialinės, ekonominės, politinės sąlygos, skirtingai apibūdinančios totalitarinę ir demokratinę santvarkas, kurios veikė individo mąstymo ypatumus ir pokyčius prieš 1990 metų politinį virsmą ir veikia po jo – per dvidešimt nepriklausomybės metų. Tarp aplinkybių, veikiančių pastarojo laikotarpio individo mąstymą, išskiriama visuomenės vartotojiškumas, globalusis atvirumas, informacinių technologijų naudojimas, kai kurios postmodernizmo idėjos. Parodoma, jog technologijos, įsiskverbdamos į žmonių santykių ir darbo sritį, silpnina tiesioginio bendravimo poreikį, atveria galimybes formuotis netradiciniams tapatumams ir mąstymo būdams. Individų mąstymas evoliucionuoja keliomis kryptimis.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: individas, mąstymas, politinis virsmas, totalitarizmas, demokratija, vartotojiškumas, informacinės technologijos. The Political Transformation in Lithuania: Alterations of Individual MentalityBronislovas Kuzmickas AbstractThe article is a part of the research project devoted to the investigation of the changes taking place in the contemporary society of Lithuania. Considering that each culture, each historical epoch creates the type of its own of an individual and his way of thinking, the author analyses material and ideal factors which influence individual’s way of thinking and motivation. The concept of paradigm is used to denote the whole of these factors. There are highlighted the basic social, economic, political circumstances, which differently characterize totalitarian and democratic political systems and have influence on the mentality of an individual before the political transformation of 1990 and after it during the twenty years of independence. Consumerism, wide application of information technologies, global openness, certain ideas of postmodernity are singled out among the circumstances influencing mentality of individuals. The usage of communication technologies is weakening the need for direct personal contacts, thus opening ways to develop non-traditional identities and modes of thinking. The individual thinking is thus evolving in several directions.Keywords: individual, thinking, political transformation, totalitarianism, democracy, consumerism, information technologies.

In recent years there has emerged in this country a radical questioning and rejection of established political institutions unparalleled since the Civil War in its intensity and scope. One objective indicator of this trend since World War II is the marked rise in voluntary renunciation of American citizenship, an act which represents the formal and final estrangement of the individual from his former political ties. Available evidence suggests that estrangement from the polity is also widespread in countries throughout the world as fundamental questions are being raised about the legitimacy of political institutions and political leadership.Attitudes toward the political system have long been a concern of political scientists. Major orienting theories of the political system suggest that citizen support plays a crucial role in determining the structure and processes of political systems. Almond and Verba, for example, use the concept “civic culture” to refer to a complex mix of attitudes and behaviors considered to be conducive to democratic government. Easton underscores the fundamental importance of attitudes for system stability, focusing especially on “diffuse support” as a prerequisite for the integration of political systems. He suggests that “(w)here the input of support falls below [a certain] minimum, the persistence of any kind of system will be endangered. A system will finally succumb unless it adopts measures to cope with the stress.”The conversion of these general theoretical ideas into systematic empirical theory requires further rigorous and comprehensive analyses of types of citizen support and the development of empirical indicators for this domain.

A model of the opinion dynamics underlying the political decision is proposed. The analysis is restricted to a bipolar scheme with a possible third political area. The interaction among voters is local but the final decision strongly depends on global effects such as the rating of the governments. As in the realistic case, the individual decision making process is determined by the most relevant personal interests and problems. The phenomenological analysis of the national vote in Italy and Germany has been carried out and a prediction of the next Italian vote as a function of the government rating is presented.

The interrelated concepts of historical policy and memory policy are considered. The foundations of the relationship between the security policy of the individual, society and the state and the policy of memory are traced. The author notes the peculiarity of modern Russian and Belarusian historical politics, which is associated with the use of historical memory as a source of legitimacy of political institutions. The author shows the prerequisites for the securitization of historical and memory policy in the context of increasing risks and threats of an external nature and internal destabilization in relation to the political systems of Belarus and Russia.

This article explores the role of calculative technologies, such as taxation, accounting and actuarial practices, in constructing ‘age’ in contemporary society. It argues that retirement income programs built on these technologies attempt to construct specific relations not just between the individual and other generations, but between the individual and herself at other stages of life. Retracing the series of Canadian attempts to secure income for the elderly over the course of the 20th century, the paper shows how calculative technologies have been used to connect responsibility for the elderly to the political rationalities of the day. This genealogy allows us to recognize how the present Canadian retirement income system, with its public and private programs addressing different subsets of the population, is contingent on neoliberal rationalities of governance. These demand the alignment of the individual with the goals of the capital markets, and seek to achieve this through a distributed agency that encourages the investment of individual savings in retirement income products. The paper argues that this distributed agency is perpetually incomplete, and that uncertainty is necessary in order that the individual be constantly remade as an investor.

<p>The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has brought many fundamental changes in the political practices. One of the main essential aspects of ICTs is internet. This internet plays an important role in developing the information age. Therefore, the information age contributes to the way in which we effectively and efficiently create and consume the information. In this research, we focus to see the role of technology that drives to the practice of netpolitik by both the public and political actors in Indonesia. Netpolitik itself is the combination between internet and politic. Then, we analyze how netpolitik is influencing and changing the political situation in Indonesia during the recent time. Then, we put several aspects in order to see the effects driven by the netpolitik. Finally, we conclude the research by a finding stating that the netpolitik has done a political transformation in Indonesia and it becomes a core engine in determining the behaviour of political actor and audiences.</p><p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em> Internet, Netpolitik, Public, Political Actors, ICTs, Digital Era, Transformation, and Indonesia</em></p>

Blatantly observable in the U.S. currently, the political chasm grows, representing a prototype of political polarization in most if not all western democratic political systems. Differential political psychology strives to trace back increasingly polarized political convictions to differences on the individual level. Recent evolutionary informed approaches suggest that interindividual differences in political orientation reflect differences in group-mindedness and cooperativeness. Contrarily, the existence of meaningful associations between political orientation, personality traits, and interpersonal behavior has been questioned critically. Here, we shortly review evidence showing that these relationships do exist, which supports the assumption that political orientation is deeply rooted in the human condition. Potential reasons for the premature rejection of these relationships and directions for future research are outlined and implications for refinements and extensions of evolutionary informed approaches are derived.

The use of marketing communication technologies in the innovative development of enterprises creates appropriate conditions and mechanisms that will stimulate innovative activity and the introduction of its results into the economic practice of enterprises. There are considered in the article the most modern and one of the most optimal technologies for today - the use of existing potential, which is human intelligence. The proposed crowdsourcing technology is based on the use of resources (potential, group intelligence, the principles of self-expression and self-realization of the individual) using information and communication technologies that are suitable for solving important problems of the socio-economic development of enterprises, including innovative ones. A prerequisite for the use of crowdsourcing as a factor in the successful innovation development of enterprises is the spread of modern information technologies and the possibility of their use by participants in innovation processes. Crowdsourcing can become a radical method of producing and commercializing innovation products without significant investments in the conditions of insufficient financial support for innovation processes.

The article presents a theoretical analysis of informative and manipulative influence on the socio-political consciousness and behavior of modern youth. The interpretation of consciousness in the psychological and political areas has been revealed, which makes it possible to consider information technologies as an important attribute of influence on political consciousness. There has been conducted the analysis of the psychological components of informative and manipulative technologies, which defined as the dominance of the spiritual state of the individual, the imposition of thoughts, ideas, attitudes, values and management of behavior in favor of the subject of influence. There has been revealed the idea that the favorable socio-political conditions encourage the media to exert influence by manipulating the political consciousness and behavior of young people. The opinion has been clarified, that the use of communication technologies, that optimize the implementation of policy actors of their tasks and responsibilities through rational means, sequence of actions, development of an appropriate algorithm of behavior, result in the implementation of human activities to achieve socially significant goals, including political one. In the context of this issue, the role of the media in the political processes of society has been revealed, where they act as a means of manipulative influence aimed at transforming the political consciousness of young people. The factors influencing the political consciousness of young people have been analyzed, where the most influential are: granting the right to edit, adding their own conjectures; distortion of information; submission of false information; being reticent about major events; being ahead of the curve. However, the main reason for the effects of informative and manipulative influence lies in the personal scope, where it is important to have the ability to think critically, to analyze, interpret, defend the point of view, have strong energy and will, to have different forms of verbal influence of optimal mechanisms of thought and actions appropriate to the situation. Methods of effective counteraction to informative and manipulative influences have been determined. The main one is the ability to distribute information in the associative space, when one constructs the absence of intersection of the discussed events by associative connection with other unrelated events. Due to effective approaches, modern youth has the opportunity to stop being a "passive mass" and become active citizens who defend their opinions, make independent decisions and form their own patterns of behavior.

In Belgian historical research a lot of attention is given to local politics, also by the activities of local amateur historians. This research mostly bas a very limited scientific finality because the local political past is taken in isolation.  'Glocal history' requires representative data. Within a broader perspective one can consider the local political past in a global context. This 'global history' sees the local level as a field in which to analyze the political, social, economic and cultural developments in relation to each other. At the same time the local political sphere is considered a link between the individual citizen and higher political authorities. Local political structures act as a buffer between the citizen and (inter) national policy and are at the same time a grounds for experimentation.
