This article analyses the opinions about the difference between poverty and prosperity among the teachers, it seeks to find the border between these phenomena; it summarizes the teachers' ideas of how to diminish poverty and use one's own money effectively in times of prosperity. By using the open ended questionnaire the results of 1 teacher groups from schools of 2 Latvian districts were analyzed. Summarizing the results one can conclude that the interviewed teachers with the word "poverty" and "prosperity" understand material things. Teachers associate money the means of living which is acquired by working and earning. None of the respondents admitted that they would ask for help, look for support and receive the social benefits or would seek for the cause of poverty within themselves in case of experiencing poverty. In case of becoming prosperous the teachers will meet all their needs and then be ready to share with others. Almost all teachers' answers disclosed that they will spend money rather than invest it and make accumulation or accruals. The interviewed teacher did not make any original proposal to resolve poverty issue. The main boundary between poverty and wealth is the amount of money which allows or does not allow meeting their own needs and desires thus ensuring certain way of life or life style. The second boundary is the place of living and appearance. Essential boundary is also emotional comfort or discomfort, a happy relationship or lack of it. It should be noted that this study only shows the trend since a very specific selection of respondents was involved. However, it allows making the assumption that teachers had a healthy attitude towards money and hardly any teacher had a negative attitude towards money or prosperity, however, everybody believed that poverty can be avoided by working and earning money. Thus it is possible to conclude that the teachers of this selection don't hold the "ideology of low-income people".

State Surveillance

Foucault’s theory of state social control contrasts societal responses to leprosy, where deviants are exiled from society but promised freedom from social demands, and the plague, where deviants are controlled and surveyed within society but receive some state assistance in exchange for their cooperation.In this paper, I analyze how low-income fathers in the United States simultaneously experience social control consistent with leprosy and social control consistent with the plague but do not receive the social benefits that Foucault associates with either status.Through interviews with 57 low-income fathers, I investigate the role of state surveillance in their family lives through child support enforcement, the criminal justice system, and child protective services.Because they did not receive any benefits from compliance with this surveillance, they resisted it, primarily by dropping “off the radar.”Men justified their resistance in four ways: they had their own material needs, they did not want the child, they did not want to separate from their child’s mother or compliance was unnecessary.This resistance is consistent with Foucault’s distinction between leprosy and the plague.They believed that they did not receive the social benefits accorded to plague victims, so they attempted to be treated like lepers, excluded from social benefits but with no social demands or surveillance.

The Difference

Marunda North Jakarta is known as a fisherman settlement area that has been aged for hundreds of years, besides that this area is also the location of low-income housing construction for Low-Income Community Groups (MBR) whose residents are residents who are relocated from various villages in Jakarta, so that the residents of the flat are very heterogeneous. The diverse backgrounds of the Marunda people cause differences in culture and daily habits that create the creation of social boundaries that result in a lack of harmony in the social sphere between residents of Rusunawa and Kampung Nelayan communities, in the process of relocating some residents to lose their jobs. Apart from that, the difference in the shape of the dwellings that were different from those previously densely landed and now are now vertical which causes the formation of spatial boundaries that did not exist before. There is a need that can support the community to create harmony in the diversity of the Marunda community in social, economic and cultural aspects. This study aims to develop a Marunda Activity Center design concept as a third place to accommodate the activities of Marunda residents using the Transprogramming method. The building is designed by combining programs that are spatially different, with the aim of producing programs that are fit to the community so that they can build social interaction and can support the economy to improve the quality of life which will have an impact on the welfare of the people of Marunda. AbstrakMarunda Jakarta Utara dikenal sebagai kawasan pemukiman nelayan yang telah berusia ratusan tahun. Selain itu kawasan ini juga merupakan lokasi dibangunnya rusunawa bagi kelompok Masyarakat Berpenghasilan Rendah (MBR) yang sebagian penduduknya adalah warga yang direlokasi dari berbagai kampung di Jakarta, sehingga penghuni rusun bersifat sangat heterogen. Beragamnya latar belakang warga Marunda menyebabkan terjadinya perbedaan dalam budaya dan kebiasaan sehari-hari yang menjadikan terciptanya batas sosial yang mengakibatkan kurangnya keharmonisan dalam lingkup sosial baik antar penghuni Rusunawa maupun masyarakat Kampung Nelayan. Dalam proses relokasi sebagian warga kehilangan pekerjaannya. Selain hal tersebut perbedaan bentuk tempat tinggal yang berbeda dari yang sebelumnya padat landed lalu sekarang menjadi vertikal yang menyebkan terbentuknya batas spasial yang sebelumnya tidak ada. Terdapat kebutuhan yang dapat menunjang masyarakat untuk mewujudkan keharmonisan dalam keberagaman masyarakat Marunda pada aspek sosial, ekonomi dan seni budaya. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menyusun suatu konsep perancangan Marunda Activity Center sebagai third place untuk mewadahi kegiatan warga Marunda dengan menggunakan metode Transprogramming. Bangunan dirancang dengan menggabungkan program-program yang berbeda secara spasialnya, dengan tujuan untuk menghasilkan program yang fit kepada masyarakat sehingga dapat membangun interaksi sosial dan dapat menunjang perekonomian untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup yang akan berdampak pada kesejahteraan masyarakat Marunda.

Compared with the disability associated with repeated seizures or side-effects of antiepileptic medications, the social stigma associated with epilepsy is often a major handicap to people living with this condition. This study therefore looked at the knowledge, attitude and perception of teachers who see a lot of epileptics, relates on daily bases and have a high influence on students with epilepsy. Self-administered questionnaires were used to obtain information from 460 randomly selected teachers in primary, secondary and tertiary educational institutions in Kwara State-middle belt of Nigeria. The response rate was 75%. Almost all of the teachers had heard about epilepsy, but their awareness does not equate with the acceptance and understanding of epilepsy. About 30.5% believed that it could be contracted through the saliva of an epileptic, 27.7% thought it was synonymous with possession with evil spirit, while 10% misunderstood epilepsy for insanity. Close to one-fifth of the teachers were of the opinion that epileptic students have a below average mental capacity compared with other students and so cannot attainment the highest possible education. Negative attitude and bias towards epilepsy is still deeply ingrained among teachers in Nigeria. Apart from formal education, teachers need to have health education courses on common disease conditions such as epilepsy that are prevalent in school age. This might help to reduce prejudice and increase the acceptance of epileptic individuals into the classroom.

Public programs of agricultural preservation continue to be of interest in many states of the urbanized Northeast. Farmers themselves, of course, have always been concerned with this issue, and in recent years they have found effective allies among public planners, for whom the agricultural sector has become a chief source of scenic and cultural amenities as well as insurance against unforeseen disruptions in future supplies of food and fiber. Programs of use-value assessment have been enacted by almost all of the northeastern states, as well as by those in many other parts of the country. Partly as a result of the fact that the effectiveness of this approach has been in doubt, attention in some states is turning to programs in which the development rights are purchased from agricultural land in order to alleviate development pressure on these areas. New Jersey has recently undertaken a program of development rights purchase, Massachusetts is currently shaping legislation for such a program, and many other states have shown interest.

Indonesia sebagai negara yang majemuk memiliki beragam suku, bahasa, ras bahkan agama. Perbedaan itu menyimpan potensi positif sebagai kekuatan dan kekayaan bangsa. Namun demikian seandainya tidak dirawat dengan baik, potensi positif tersebut berubah menjadi negatif, yaitu konflik yang merugikan masing-masing pihak. Usaha untuk merawat kemajemukan tersebut adalah menumbuhkembangkan toleransi. Masyarakat Sodong sebagai kumpulan 2 (dua) komunitas beragama berbeda memberikan potret bahwa mereka telah mengimplementasikan hal tersebut secara intens dalam aspek sosial, ekonomi, politik dan bahkan persoalan agama. Hal ini tentu menimbulkan pertanyaan, bagaimana bisa penganut agama yang berbeda memahami dan mengejawantahkan toleransi yang begitu besar dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, padahal setiap agama secara lazim mempunyai ciri khas dan batasan-batasan hubungan dengan agama lainnya?, terkecuali daripada itu, bagaimana pandangan islam  terhadap kenyataan tersebut, karena  nyatanya islam sebagai agama pedoman hidup muslim memiliki pandangan sendiri kaitannya dengan toleransi. Penelitian ini bercorak field research dengan mendeskriptifkan terhadap persepsi dan perilaku masyarakat Sodong terhadap toleransi berikut pandangan islam terhadapnya. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa toleransi agama yang terbangun di sana tidak semata-mata berlatar belakang agama, melainkan juga berasal dari aspek sosial, budaya dan politik. Praktik-praktik toleransi yang telah terjadi perlu penguatan, terutama di bidang sosial kemasyarakatan. Adapun pada persoalan yang bersinggungan dengan agama masih membutuhkan perhatian dan peran edukasi pemuka  muslim agar toleransi tidak mengarah pada tindakan sinkretisme.Kata Kunci:Sodong, toleransi beragama. Indonesia as a pluralistic country has various ethnicities, languages, races and even religions. The difference holds positive potential as the strength and wealth of the nation. However, if it is not properly cared for, the positive potential turns into a negative one, namely a conflict that harms each party. Efforts to maintain this plurality is to cultivate tolerance. The Sodong community as a collection of 2 (two) different religious communities provides a portrait that they have implemented this intensely in social, economic, political and even religious aspects. This of course raises the question, how can adherents of different religions understand and manifest such great tolerance in daily life, even though every religion in general has characteristics and limitations on relations with other religions? to this fact, because in fact Islam as a religion as a way of life for Muslims has its own views regarding tolerance. This research is a field research by describing the perception and behavior of the Sodong community towards tolerance and the Islamic view of it. The results of the study reveal that the religious tolerance that is built there is not solely a religious background, but also comes from social, cultural and political aspects. Tolerance practices that have occurred need to be strengthened, especially in the social field. As for issues that intersect with religion, it still requires attention and the educational role of Muslim leaders so that tolerance does not lead to acts of syncretism. Keywords:Sodong, religious tolerance.

Literary schools in the West are influenced by the social and political conditions prevailing in those societies; This means that each school in line with the political and social developments of its time has undergone structural and content changes and gives way to a school with a different perspective. In the second half of the sixteenth century, medieval civilization collapsed and underwent many social, political, and religious changes. The group of many high-ranking landowners and feudal lords who had been forced to pay large sums of money as a result of the successive defeats of France in the Hundred Years' War were gradually forced to sell their lands and properties with all legal rights. The tribal kings belonged to it. This caused the landowners to lose their influence and power, and the government to change from a form of sectarian monarchy to an absolute monarchy. The king, like the ancient Romans, was considered to have absolute authority in the administration of the affairs of the country, and the lords of all lands served the king. By order of the Shah, ministries, the army, the Court of Accounts and the judiciary were formed; The bourgeoisie, meanwhile, entered government positions because of the prosperity of the commercial and industrial market, the wealthy and influential. Other important events, such as new inventions, new naval discoveries, as well as wars known as the Italian Wars, all went hand in hand and completely changed the way of life and the situation of French society. With the advent of Luther and Calvin and fundamental religious reforms, popular belief in the teachings of the clergy waned, and since then Christianity has been limited to a set of rites and ceremonies held by Catholic priests. In addition, Christian theologians gradually found themselves without the need for direct reference to Christian scriptures and recklessly discussed religious issues. On the other hand, in literary works, the desire for great ideas disappeared and literature, which was based on spiritual favors, became frozen. Religious plays lost their religious and heavenly appeal and took on the color of hypocrisy and trade; In this way, almost all the systems and laws that ruled France for centuries were questioned at the beginning of this century, and fundamental changes took place in Europe at that time; But it was not long before the great scientific and maritime discoveries showed him the power of human thought and greatness, and showed him that human endeavors must expand without borders, and that in a world full of contradictions and contradictions, he is free to go his own way. Choose. From then on, people liked what they thought was beautiful and charming; Therefore, not only the manifestations of the world of sensations and the world of nature were in the center of attention, but also the literary works of ancient writers and poets, especially ancient Greece, were doubly valued by them. This gradually led to the formation of a new attitude.

The article analyzes the memories of Y. I. Kirsch, a Russian soldier who got into German captivity, and E. E. Dwinger, a German junior officer who was captured by Russians. The author raises the question of common and distinctive features in the images of the “enemy” created in the memoirs of these memoirists. Transformation in the perception of a military enemy in the experience of captivity is being considered. The issue of reconciliation and finding an understanding with the “enemy” was studied. The author comes to the conclusion that at the time of capturing both Russian and German soldiers had extremely negative images of the “enemy”. These images were constructed by state propaganda, which dehumanized a military enemy. The prisoners of war expected extreme cruelties from the “enemy”, but these expectations were not approved. Extreme experience of captivity focused on the negative aspects of life in Germany and the Russian Empire. This was reflected in the memoirs of Y. I. Kirch and E. E. Dwinger. But both memoirists noted that the “enemy” in the crowd behaved ruthlessly, while on a personal level, he was often ready to help prisoners of war, to show mercy. Despite the negative attitude to the “enemy”, both in Russia and in Germany, there was a cohabitation of prisoners of war with local women. In Germany, ordinary Germans congratulated prisoners of war on its’ end. In Russia with the beginning of the revolution, German prisoners of war received an invitation to join the White Movement. These facts are manifestations of partial reconciliation of prisoners of war with the “enemy”. With regard to the difference in the design of the enemy's image, German memoirs show more cultural reflections on the national character and the mission of the Russians. Memoirs of the Russian on the contrary emphasize the way of life and order that prevailed in the camp for the prisoners of war. The study of the experience of transforming the enemy's image during the First World War is relevant in the context of a modern information confrontation, which inevitably complements military conflicts.

This paper reports a study of how babies are fed during their first year of life as practiced by families living in a low-income neighborhood of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil and served by the state's Family Health Program. Two families were followed up over a year using the Bick method for the observation of mother-infant relationships. The results showed that although the families appreciated the recommendations of health professionals regarding the need to practice exclusive breastfeeding until the child reached six months, in practice during their first few weeks of life the babies were started on complementary food in addition to breast milk. The mothers made decisions regarding feeding the babies taking into consideration the following: The opinions of a selection of relatives; food availability; ideas about what is suitable for the developing baby; and finally, their observations of the child's responses. The results show that food is part of the mutually imbricated processes of the social construction of the person and the constitution of kinship ties. The conclusion reflects on the implications of these findings for health practices.

The study aims to highlight the impact of practicing recreational figure skating by evaluating the relationship between the perceptions of motor, mental and social benefits of practicing figure skating and the frequency and duration allocated for this recreational activity. The study included 143 students of physical education and sport specialization. The questionnaire was designed to evaluate the students’ perception about the benefits of practicing recreational figure skating; it included 30 items divided in three parts: motor, mental and social benefits. Each of them contained 10 items to be assessed by students using the Likert scale, with 2 items related to the duration and frequency of practicing figure skating during recreational time. The results were processed using SPPS 24. The results were statistically significant at p < 0.05. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was α = 0.965, suggesting that the items had high internal consistency. Using the Likert scale, we found the following: concerning the high score 5 points—the motor capacity 62.9%, the mental capacity 49.7%, the social capacity 49.7%; and for a low score of 1 point—mental and social capacity 1.4%, motor capacity 0.7%. The effect size was medium for almost all items. No statistically significant correlations were found between the result of the questionnaire and the frequency and duration of practicing figure skating during free time. Figure skating is considered by students to be one of the activities through which a series of parameters of physical development and level of physical fitness can be improved through the expansion of motor skills. Also, the practice of figure skating contributes to the formation of proactive behaviors by improving the mental and social abilities of practitioners.
