<div><p><em>Sociology is a social science that studies society and the individual in perspective of society. Sociology emerged as a separate discipline in the mid-1800s in Western Europe during the onset of the Industrial Revolution. Industrialization brought Social Changes so sweeping they affected all aspects of human existence-where people lived, the nature of their work and interpersonal relationships. Social change, a shift in the characteristics of culture and society is such a vital part of Social life. Social Transformation is the process by which an individual alters the socially ascribed social status of their parents into a socially achieved status for themselves. However another definition refers to large scale Social Change as in Cultural Reforms or Transformation.</em></p><p><em>The main objectives of this research paper are- 1) To assess that Technology especially information technology plays a vital role in social transformation.  2) To identify that they are positively related to each other.  3) to evaluate the seriousness of cyber threats.</em></p><p><em>Indian country is proposed as an area of survey for conducting the study of above-mentioned objectives.

This writing aims to describe the situation of digitizing legal education and its prospects during the Covid-19 pandemic. This paper aims to explain how the digitization of legal education can work in accordance with the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 and in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. The method used in this paper is the literature method, which relies on the use of reference books as study material to describe the theoretical framework as well as the limited space for movement during large-scale social restrictions. Utilization of the internet in education is not new. Many in various countries have used digitalization in education. However, in Indonesia before the pandemic its utilization was not optimal. The dependence of the community on the internet makes digitalization of education the only solution so that learning activities can still be carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic like this. There are facilities and infrastructure constraints that must be met in order to support learning activities. This writing was made to better understand the definition of digitalization of education, life in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, the obstacles and challenges faced in this education digitization system, as well as the readiness of academic facilities and infrastructure in supporting the digitization of legal education.Penulisan ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan situasi digitalisasi pendidikan hukum dan prosepeknya pada masa pandemi covid-19 ini.

Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini adalah metode kepustakaan, yakni bertumpu kepada penggunaan referensi pustaka sebagai bahan kajian untuk menggambarkan kerangka teoritisnya seriring terbatasnya ruang gerak pada masa pembatasan sosial berskala besar. Pendayagunaan internet dalam pendidikan bukanlah hal yang baru. Banyak di berbagai negara sudah menggunakan digitalisasi dalam pendidikan. Hanya saja, di Indonesia pada masa sebelum pandemi pendayagunaanya belum optimal. Ketergantungan masyarakat pada internet membuat digitalisasi pendidikan ini menjadi satu-satunya solusi agar kegiatan pembelajaran tetap dapat dilaksanakan dimasa pandemi covid-19 seperti ini. Adapun kendala sarana dan prasarana yang harus dipenuhi dalam rangka menunjang kegiatan pembelajaran. Penulisan ini dibuat untuk lebih memahami kembali definisi dari digitalisasi pendidikan, kehidupan pada era revolusi industri 4.0, hambatan dan tantangan yang dihadapi dalam sistem digitalisasi pendidikan ini, serta kesiapan sarana dan prasarana akademik dalam mendukung digitalisasi pendidikan hukum.

Society 5.0, human-centered social understanding, is defined as the period in which the technological opportunities offered by Industry 4.0 will serve the welfare of people. However, Society 5.0 faces many factors in terms of resistance to social change. Both the commitment of individuals and organizations to the current social life practice and uncertainty slows down the path to Society 5.0. With the COVID-19 pandemic-related digital solutions and applications on a world scale, life practices have radically changed. At this point, the process towards Society 5.0 has accelerated and the first stage of Kurt Lewin's three-steps change model has started, “unfreeze.” Decision makers and managers need to initiate change, particularly in education and other fields, and contribute to social transformation by “refreezing” new practices and methods that will serve human well-being and Society 5.0. In this context, this process was discussed, and recommendations were made in the scope of the study.

The Relationship

Community is elusive, desirable, rhetorical; something lost and something to be built; a relationship, a concept, a synonym, a place (real or imagined). This article explores the roles that the complexity of community’s conceptualisation has played in the development of political identities, goals and rationales for action. Drawing on the ways in which it has been conceptualised and utilised in sociological, historical and political understandings of social change, and a series of interviews with members of British socialist organisations, the article examines the relationship and equation between ‘community’, and ‘location’, ‘local’ and ‘place’ that develop as these terms become drawn into a wider project for social transformation. It is argued that ideas of location have not only framed how community is operationalised to imagine and enact this transformation, but that location itself is conceptualised in multiple, equally complex ways through this association. Social change becomes relatable, an articulable experience of large-scale processes, of social problems, of power and resistance. Community is reified, and change is made possible through a sense of locality.

The authors present public comprehension and attitudes towards cyber threats and cybercrime in Slovenia. Cyberspace has become a wide area which can be exploited through various criminal activities, considering that access to information technology and the Internet is ubiquitous. As the number of users grows, so does the number of cybercrime incidences. Regrettably, users of information technology and the Internet know too little about the dangers in cyberspace and the protective measures to maximize security; they are also poorly informed about the legislation pertaining to cybercrime. In order to accurately gauge the knowledge of the average Internet user, the authors conducted a survey which was posted on the Internet in spring 2011. This survey is the basis for an examination of the perception of cybercrime and an attempt to make sense of the fear of it. The statistical analysis of the questionnaires show, how users perceive cybercrime. On the basis of theory and the results of their research, the authors present basic guidelines that can, if respected, minimize security risks in cyberspace. These guidelines can help increase awareness of cyber threats and are a source of information on how to safely interact in cyberspace. Users who are aware of the risks in cyberspace and know how to deal with them are less afraid of becoming victims of cybercrime. The insights acquired in this study are useful for all cyberspace users and have practical value as they can be used for further study of cybercrime.

Identification Processes

The subject of this research is the religious identity of Russian youth in the conditions of modern digital society. The author analyzes the factors of transformation of identification processes, examines the characteristics of religious identity, as well as defines the specificity of religious discourse within the Internet environment. The author believes that the main cause of the changes in religious consciousness and identity becomes rapid digitalization of all spheres of social life. This problematic gains relevance during the COVID-19 pandemic, forced self-isolation and transition towards remote work using the information and communication technologies. The author assumes that religious identity should be viewed from the perspective of its inclusion into a broader phenomenon &ndash; cyberidentity. An original definition of cyberidentity is proposed. The key factors of its formation, such as social networks and messengers, computer gamed, Internet memes, etc. are determined. The article leans on the analysis of information from websites of religious organizations, different groups in social networks, messengers and video hosting. The main source form empirical data became the results of large-scale research of dynamics of value orientations of youth of Nizhny Novgorod Region that was carried out from 2006 to 2019. The author concludes that currently it may appear that secular trends are growing, while the interest of youth in religion declines. This is conferment by the data acquired from mass surveying, interviewing, and analyzing the content of social networks. However, secularization processes have contradictory, nonlinear and unpredictable character. Within the Internet space, the dialects of religion and secular not just being retained, but reflected in the categories of digital society. In the digital post-secular society, religious identity becomes a part of the more global identification processes. It sets particular goals for the traditional religions, which are forced to adapt to civilizational challenges.

Reconciling large scale political and social change with everyday lived experience has always been a fundamental problem for understanding social and political change. This chapter offers a conceptual framework that recognizes the intricacy of interaction between mediation and revolutionary social change by looking at the lived experience of Egyptians during the Egyptian revolution. The experience of collective events is mediated through information and communication technologies; these mediated experiences are both collective, in that people are connected by media uses and practices and by common activities and spaces, and yet they are also deeply personal and individualized, in that specific sets of technologies, interpersonal relationships and embodied practices that comprise one person’s unfolding experience are different from another’s. The chapter argues that these two dimensions could be theorized using the concepts of network and assemblage. On a broader scale, we can understand the relationship between mediated experiences of events and agent-driven uses of media technologies by turning to processual analysis of the sort called field theory, which allows us to see the revolution as a series of struggles over the symbolic meaning of revolutionary activities, in which media practices play a crucial part.
