The way human being “work” to earn their living has transformed over a period of time. There was a time when human beings used to go to work but now the work has come to the doorstep , in fact it has occupied its space in the bed room and on the dining table. We actually pack it as we go out for a family outing .It does not end there, research shows that we get the best of ideas to solve office problems ,when we are outing, trekking , watching TV but the organizations still have the same good, old attendance tracking system. The employers are still so conscious whether the knowledge employees show in the office and importantly, show on time. The researcher in this conceptual paper tries to unravel the features of modern and future work. He suggests a method which can be followed by organizations which can help themto track modern day knowledge work more effectively.

Work is a central part of our lives in many aspects. Half of our awake time is for most of us performed as paid work. At work, we create the values we need to live the life we desire. At work, we are socialized and shaped into the human beings we are. We are all concerned about how our work will be in the future; will we be able to handle the new technology or will we be replaced by a robot? Do we see the new technology as The wolf is coming or God's gift to mankind? This is an existential question and the future work is shaped here and now. This means that we need to get a picture of what is happening so we can act, but we also need a vision of where we want to go. Our mission as a researcher is to find the pathways to the Sustainable work, but in order to to find the way, we sometimes have to take on the role of the wolf and ask the uncomfortable questions.

Descriptive Method

Summary: Reflecting on the role humans take into nowadays society, should be of interest in all our social reflections, even for those that refer to the field of law. Any human indifferent and unconscious of the social role that he ought to play within society, as a member of it, is an irresponsible human detached from everything that surrounds him, regarding matters and other humans. Trying to isolate in an irresponsible, passive and comfortable attitude, means, after all, denying oneself, denying our nature, as the social being every human is. This is the reflection that this academic work entitles, the one made from the point of view of the Italian philosopher Rodolfo Mondolfo. From a descriptive development, starting from this renowned author, I will develop ideas that will warn the importance that human protagonism have, in this human product so call society. From a descriptive development, from this well-known author, I will be prescribing ideas that will warn the importance of the protagonism that all human beings have, in that human product that we call society. I have used the descriptive method to approach the positions of the Italian humanist philosopher and, for my assessments, I have used the prescriptive method from an eminently critical and deductive procedural position. My goal is to demonstrate, from the humanist postulates of Rodolfo Mondolfo, the hypothesis about the leading, decision-making and determining role that the human being has within society. I understand, to have reached the demonstration of the aforementioned hypothesis, because, after the analyzed, there is no doubt, that the human being is not one more existence in the development of societies; its role is decisive in determining the human present and the future that will house the next societies and generations of our historical future.

Festivals have been around, and will always be around; no matter the political context they are embedded in, supported by, or hindered by. Why? Simply because society develops, it transforms, it is dynamic and it needs space for reflection and inspiration. Festivals are platforms for people to meet, and for artists to present their work, their creations. This gives festivals an enduring, quite independent mission and reason to exist: as long as festivals strive to offer a biotope for artists and audiences alike and point to questions which concern the way we live and want to live, they will be a fertile ground for a meaningful development of society – and an offer for serving the public wellbeing. What are the challenges festivals are facing today? There are a series of very complex questions related to festivals’ positioning us as human beings in an interconnected, global society, our relation to nature and the immediate surroundings, our stories of life so that as many citizens as possible can be part of the societal discourse, can be enriched, can be touched, can be heard, can be moved. Individuals, interest groups, nationalities, countries, even continents are interconnected. What does this mean for a festival? Travelling across Europe for work and pleasure and meeting citizens from all walks of life has taught me that citizens, a term that connects individuals to some larger constructed community, are just people, everyday people, going about their lives. People connect with other humans and their human stories, real life encounters. Abstract theory and jargon are meaningless when they lack real life connections. Meaningful festivals of the future will offer possibilities for new connections among people: they invite people to travel in time and in space; they inspire to connect human stories, enriching them with new, unexpected, colourful stories!

This chapter presents the way to design a learning support system toward acquiring a creative skill on learning. There are two research goals. One is to establish designing the creative learning task. The other is to make clear the human sense of creativity. As the background of this research, the jobs with high creativity or social skills will remain in the future. However, acquiring human's creativity is too difficult for computers. To solve this problem, the authors focus on the way to utilize higher creativity of human than that of computers. The main method is the visualization of learning traces to support awareness for creativity on the learning. The authors conducted the preliminary learning experiment with three human subjects. After that, the questionnaire and the hearing investigation were conducted. As the future work, the authors are planning to conduct an updated version of the experiment.

New computing and networking technologies have not only changed the way traditional crimes are committed but also introduced completely brand new “cyber” crimes. Cyber crime investigation and forensics is relatively a new field that can benefit from methods and tools from its predecessor, the traditional counterpart. This chapter explains the problem of cyber criminal profiling and why it differs from ordinary criminal profiling. It tries to provide an overview of the problem and the current approaches combined with a suggested solution. It also discusses some serious challenges that should be addressed to be able to produce reliable results and it finally presents some ideas for the future work.

This article focuses on the transformation and dimming lines between digital and physical worlds. Industrial Internet tools and applications also help people collaborate in a faster and smarter way – making jobs not just more efficient but more rewarding. Technological progress and economic growth are contributing to a seismic shift in the role that human beings play in the production process. Technological progress, notably in high-performance computing, robotics, and artificial intelligence, is extending the range of tasks that machines can perform better than humans can. The Future of Work is being shaped by a profound transformation, driven by the meshing of the digital and the physical worlds, the emergence of new design and production techniques, and a seismic shift in the role that human beings play in the production process. Technological progress is expected to push a growing share of the workforce toward creativity and entrepreneurship, where humans have a clear comparative advantage over machines.

Speakers of a Central-Malayo-Polynesian language, the Nage of central Flores possess three terms for ‘person, people’ and ‘human being’: ata, hoga, and kita ata. The paper explores various semantic and social contexts in which the terms are differentially employed. Further discussed are lexical connections and semantic parallels with terms in other Malayo-Polynesian languages and the way these bear on the referents of Austronesian protoforms. Particular attention is given to Blust’s reconstruction of *qa(R)(CtT)a (reflected by Nage ata) as a word hypothetically specifying ‘outsiders, alien people’. With reference to Nage and other languages of Flores, it is shown how, rather than a simple contrast of outsiders and own group, ata and hoga are employed to express a variety of kinds and degrees of association or disassociation between speaker and referent. In this connection further attention is given to: (1) the question of whether Nage terms for humans and compounds formed from these compose a taxonomy comparable to the taxonomic ordering of plants and animals commonly found in folk biological classifications, and (2) the relation between the terms denoting human beings and Nage categories translatable as ‘(non-human) animal’ and ‘spiritual being’.

Children are an investment in the future, because they are born carrying a pile of hopes. The issue of educating children in Islam is a very important issue. The process of Islamic education does not only begin when the child is born, but since in the womb, Islamic education has begun, even since the marriage was prepared. Thus, Islam which originates from the Qur'an and Hadith strongly upholds the values of Education. Baesd on the importance of the position of children in the family, then Islam also called for educating and managing the child's potential seriously. This call is to prevent children from being abandoned so that they grow into weak human beings in all matters both intellectually and socio-emotionally, but Islam pays attention to the formation of children's character to be better. In Islam there is the term of human being, this is the ultimate goal of Islamic education.

Personalism is a philosophical school of thought focused on thorough considerations around the human being. A few types and branches of personal­ism can be distinguished, for example by country of origin and development of thought, or by the analysis of differ­ent elements that constitute a human be­ing. On Polish ground, it is the teaching of St. John Paul II that deserves partic­ular attention. On the basis of a specific view on human beings in their integral and social dimension, personalism for­mulates a characteristic vision of mar­riage and family. It emphasizes the un­derstanding of family as a communi­ty of people, it teaches of the specificity of a relationship between a man and a woman, which leads to a tradition­al way of defining marriage and fami­ly. Consideration of biological, psycho­logical and spiritual dimensions of the functioning of a human being triggers a complex approach towards family. This means that it is the basis for deter­mining rules of psychological and spiri­tual establishment of marriage and fam­ily bonds. It also concerns the way of raising children, at the same time be­coming a special place for personal up­bringing. Reminding and promoting the abovementioned understanding of fam­ily can be a means of preventing threats of the modern world. This means that it can prevent the destruction of a family, as well as any attempts to redefine mar­riage and family – present in current so­cial reality. It can influence the process of supporting marriage and family with regard to appropriate communication, dealing with marriage crisis and with upbringing children. The way to per­form those preventive and supporting actions should first of all be the period of preparation for marriage, in a broad and direct aspect. Apart from that, in­cluding it in the constant formation of families may constitute a specific form of protection.
