The article is devoted to the analysis of complex processes of social polarization as an integral feature of the modern life of big cities, which manifests itself in the confrontation of the elite and disadvantaged segments of the urban population. It is emphasized on the spectrum of the main causes, characteristic features that have determined the rise of these trends in modern cities around the world. Emphasis is placed on the devastating impact of social polarization on the social foundations of communication, interaction and integration of different segments of the population within one city. By comparing the practice of the existence of cities in classical cultures with the modern experience of func- tioning of large cities, the main causes of such a situation are analyzed. The universal include: globalization, NTP and urbanization. Other, not less significant, include economic ones: formation of world interdependence, first of all, in economic activity, becoming of post-industrial production with appropriate type, practices and values, increase of level and possibilities of technological transformations, existence of competitive ways of production, uneven development of production, increasing dependence of many economies from tourism development, poverty growth and the emergence of megabidonville, international labor migration rates; social: the emergence and subsequent dominance of a new type of intellectual elite focused on global communication space (cyberspace), the formation of "closed spaces" for different layers within the same city, breaking a complex network of relationships and interaction between different layers, leaving the solution of local problems to solve poor people, displacing the poorer from the best places of urban infrastructure, rigid polarization and segregation between different layers; cultural: the presence in the vast majority of large cities of ethnic groups, races and peoples; worldviews: fear, uncertainty in the future, vulnerability of the social situation in the conditions of "current modernity". An analysis of the dynamic nature of urban life has allowed to identify the main drivers of social polarization – myxophobia and myxophilia and to determine their negative influences and positive possibilities of maintaining social communication, interaction, agreements, exchanges in the context of the functioning of the big city of the modern global world.

Social Polarization

Public space is by no means a place for complete unity or harmony. It is always open to contradiction and struggle. It is a space in which dwellers of the city find various ways to cope with living with one another. This could be in the form of negotiation, or confrontation. Or, it could be where they avoid others, where they maintain distance. Yet, there is always the expectation of all parties, to have one’s own place in that struggle. Turkey has experienced increased social polarization in recent years, and this is reflected in its public spaces. With the ‘us’ versus ‘them’ mentality in politics being also found in everyday urban life, the gap between different lifestyles has greatened, hostility among people has intensified and urban space became a battlefield rather than a ground for commons. Hate and intolerance began to define what is public. In the meantime, a great number of high-skilled, young individuals, particularly from İstanbul and Ankara, began to leave the country to carve out a better future; and, one of the popular destinations was Berlin, Germany. This paper addresses this group of young migrants to make a comparative analysis on the definitions of public space and to rethink the social production of urban space. With thirty interviews and two focus groups, it aims to consider the reflections of social polarization on public space.

To many social theoreticians, the population explosion, particularly in the developing nations presents a crippling threat to their developmental pro¬cesses. Their argument's validity rests mainly on the assumption that expected economic progress is swallowed up by unbalanced rise of numbers in the population. The book being reviewed deals mainly with this subject matter and is divided into two parts, each containing three articles contributed by various researchers. Part one, 'The Social context of Fertility Decision' is focused on analyzing the role of factors affecting fertility at the micro-level decision making process. The first article 'Fertility decision in rural India' by Vinod Jainath, examines the applicability to rural India of various models of the process of fertility decision making and finds most of these wanting with respect to the Indian social situation. While analyzing the fertility patterns of Rural India, he points out the positive need for larger families among the poor small farmers mainly due to labour supply considerations. The author argues that unemployment and under¬employment actually motivate the poor to have more children as it better ensures their economic security in their old age. As the chances of gaining employ¬ment for their offspring diminish, they are induced to increase the total number of children in order that atleast one will be able to support them. Thus a vicious circle of poverty arises in large families because of each of the parents wanting to increase their children's chances of employment by ultimately reducing the overall employment opportunities even further and exacerbating their poverty.

Zakat is an annual religious levy that is collected from rich Muslims and its proceeds are disbursed among poor people of the society. It has many spiritual and social merits. For example, it purifies the hearts of zakat-givers as they give away a part of their wealth, one of the most precious things in their lives, seeking the pleasure of God without requiring any worldly gains whatsoever. It bridges the social gap between „haves‟ and „have-nots.‟ This study analyses, however, only economic consequences of Zakat for economic growth. They cannot be appreciated duly unless one understands the following concepts of modern economics; various theories of consumption, aggregate demand, stagnation thesis, consumption puzzle, marginal productivity of capital and Kuznets curve.

Low system justification drives ideological differences in joke perception: A critical commentary and re-analysis of Baltiansky et al. (2020)

A recent study by Baltiansky, Craig, & Jost (2020) tested two hypotheses related to system justification and the perception of stereotypical humor. They reported to have found evidence for a cross-over interaction, with judgments of jokes being contingent on a combination of the social status of the targets of jokes and raters’ system justification motivations. Here, we discuss the original analysis, presentation, and interpretation of the data in Baltiansky et al. (2020), before presenting a re-analysis of the authors’ shared data file. We show that the framing of claims such as “high system-justifiers found jokes targeting low-status groups (e.g., women, poor people, racial/ethnic minorities) to be funnier than low system-justifiers did” (p. 1) are misleading in their framing. Instead, our re-analyses suggest that ideological differences in joke perception are driven primarily by those scoring low on the system justification motivation rating jokes about ostensibly low-status groups as less funny than jokes about other social groups.
