The question of morality has always been an important issue in a society. Furthermore, moral education is a key framework for personal development. In the 21st century, there is an increasing issue of how to teach young people morality. This paper presents how moral education is conducted in China and the US, with the aim of introducing and inspecting their examples, considering thus our moral education from another perspective and giving suggestions how to change it and how to implement it. Moral education only makes sense if extends throughout all levels of education, including not merely theoretical level but also practical activities, which are highlighted in this paper. These practical activities should not be isolated examples of enthusiastic individuals, but a systemic solution. There is a need for a specific curriculum for implementation of moral education in schools through school subjects and extracurricular activities, activities with a class teacher, charity actions, individual rewards, competitions in motivational speeches or essays about morality, and so on. Briefly, it is necessary that morality becomes an integral part of everyday life both in school and out of it.

Transnational Mobility

This book provides fresh perspectives on 21st-century migratory experiences in this innovative study of young Asian migrants' lives in Australia. Exploring the aspirations and realities of transnational mobility, the book shows how migration has reshaped lived experiences of time for middle-class young people moving between Asia and the West for work, study and lifestyle opportunities. Through a new conceptual framework of 'chronomobilities', which looks at 'time-regimes' and 'time-logics', the book demonstrates how migratory pathways have become far more complex than leaving one country for another, and can profoundly affect the temporalities of everyday life, from career pathways to intimate relationships. Drawing on extensive ethnographic material, the book deepens our understanding of the multifaceted relationship between migration and time.

Educational Field

If it is the case that mobile devices, with their specific social and technological structures and attendant cultural practices, have become an integral part of everyday life, then the educational field has to react. But how and who? Fact is that mobile devices have reached and become fully integrated in everyday life, worldwide and across social milieus. This development is «ubiquitous» (e.g. Haythornthwaite, 2008, Beale 2007, Nyiri 2002) and is accompanied by an increase in individualisation enabled and necessitated by a variety of mobile devices characterised by media convergence. Education must ask questions about the impact of these irreversible trends on the personal development of young people and about its role in mediating them as well as about their impact on individual agency of young people in the context of emerging socio-cultural structures (see Stald 2007).

The Impact

Abstrak Selain ekonomi dan kesehatan, dampak lain dari pandemi COVID-19 ini juga berdampak kepada moralitas seseorang khususnya para remaja di Indonesia ini. Pentingnya pendidikan moral di masa pandemi ini khusus para remaja memang sangat diperlukan. Pasalnya jika hal tersebut tidak bisa cepat diselesaikan, maka dampak dari krisis moralitas akan menjadi panjang. Krisis moral yang tengah terjadi di Indonesia ini cukup banyak, misalnya anak muda kita sudah mulai menghilangkan budaya berkata “tolong”, “maaf”, dan ”terima kasih”. Ketiga hal tersebut merupakan hal dasar dalam beretika, dan kini hal dasar dalam beretika saja mereka tidak gunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Hal tersebut terjadi karena para remaja Indonesia kurang melakukan literasi dan menyaring budaya luar yang masuk ke dalam negeri kita. Dengan melakukan pendidikan karakter kepada mereka dan membantu mereka untuk memperbaiki moralitas mereka, maka krisis moralitas yang tengah terjadi bisa perlahan diperbaiki dan dampak baik tersebut akan berpengaruh besar terhadap generasi anak muda yang akan datang. Abstract In addition to the economy and health, other impacts of the COVID-19 virus pandemic also have an impact on one's morality, especially teenagers in Indonesia. The importance of moral education in this pandemic period, especially for teenagers, is needed. The reason is that if this cannot be resolved quickly, the impact of the morality crisis will belong. There are many moral crises currently happening in Indonesia, for example, our young people have started to eliminate the culture of saying “please”, ”sorry”, and “thank you”. These three things are basic things in ethics, and now they don't use the basic things in ethics in everyday life. This happens because Indonesian youth lack literacy and filter out foreign cultures that enter our country. By conducting character education for them and helping them to improve their morality, the current moral crisis can be slowly remedied and this good impact will have a major impact on the next generation of young people.

And Behavior

Modern youth and the student community today play a key role in the development of social and social life. Due to the peculiarities of the university space, the student community is in constant interaction and communication, both in the framework of the educational process and events of various formats, and in social and everyday conditions. In the context of interactions, this social group, which is most at risk of spreading negative ideologies that threaten not only the personal security of everyone, but also peaceful coexistence in the conditions of a multinational society in Russia. In the absence of educational measures as a prevention, an unfavorable environment arises in which it is very easy to influence the thinking of young people, their involvement in nationalist movements, extremist activities, etc. Hence the concept of «youth extremism» appears, which is manifested in the views and behavior of young people based on the manifestation of aggression and non-acceptance of dissenters. The search for new technologies of psychological support that allow to form cultural tolerance, value orientations and prevent the spread of extremist ideologies becomes relevant. The authors consider a set of measures that contribute to the generalization, dissemination, as well as the introduction into the student environment of the best practices of spiritual and moral education, the development of interethnic and interreligious dialogue, and the prevention of negative ideologies. To implement these tasks, it is necessary to form a pool of specialists in the prevention of extremism in the student environment, hold seminars and meetings for vice-rectors of universities on security and educational work, as well as educational seminars for managers of student organizations. This will make it possible to form leadership student associations that broadcast the values of cultural tolerance to the youth environment.

Прослідковуються урбанізаційні та дезурбанізаційні процеси в моді ХХ ст. Звернено увагу на недостатню вивченість питань естетичних та культурологічних аспектів формування моди як видовища в контексті образного простору культури повсякдення. Визначено видовищні виміри модної діяльності як комунікативної сцени. Наголошено на необхідності актуалізації народних мотивів свята, творчості в гурті, певної стилізації у митців та дизайнерів моди мистецтва ностальгійного, втраченого світу з метою осягнення фольклорної, глибинної стихії моди як екомунікативного простору культури повсякдення.

Moren ethnic cultural influences take place in urbanized environment and turn it into "island ontology".Everyday life ethnic culture is differentiated, specified as a certain type of spectacle. However, all that powerful cosmologism, which used to exist as an open-air theater in settlements, near rivers, grasslands, roads, is disappearing. The everyday life culture loses imperatives, patterns, and cosmological designs, where, for example, the “plahta” contains rhombuses, squares, and rectangles - images of the earth, and the top of the costume symbolizes the sky. Yes, the symbolic marriage of earth and sky was a prerequisite for marrying young people. The article deals with traces of the urbanization and deurbanization processes in the twentieth century fashion.Key words: ethnic culture, culture of everyday life, ethnics, holidays, variety show, knockabout comedy, square.

Insight Into

Current research investigating the functions of music in everyday life has identified cognitive, emotional, and social functions of music. However, previous research focuses almost exclusively on neurotypical people and rarely considers the musical experiences of autistic people. In addition, there is limited research which focuses explicitly on the musical experiences of young people on the autism spectrum. Current research exploring the functions of music may therefore not accurately represent the experiences of the autistic community. This article aims to explore the function of music in the lives of young people on the autism spectrum through a series of interviews. Eleven young people on the autism spectrum age 12 to 25 ( M = 19.4) were interviewed about the function of music in their lives. An adaptive interview technique, utilizing multiple methods of communication, was employed to account for the participants’ broad communicative and personal needs. Interpretative phenomenological analysis revealed four key functions of music in the participants’ lives: Cognitive, Emotional, Social, and Identity. Collectively, these results provide a unique insight into the musical experiences of young people on the autism spectrum.

AbstractThe paper aims to demonstrate that violence is far from a regular practice in Ultra groups, despite its notorious visibility as transmitted by the media. The paper attempts to demonstrate that Ultra groups are a social space of leisure for young people, rather than a space for violence. Actually, having used observation through direct participation and having registered the discourses of Ultra group members, it is possible to demonstrate that life in these groups represents, for many, not only a break from difficult everyday life, but also the only and/or the most important moment of social leisure in their lives.The object of this research was four Ultra groups who support the teams of Oporto City: Super Dragõe, Colectivo Ultras 95 (both support Futebol Clube do Porto), Panteras Ngeras (supporting Boavista Futebol Clube), and Alma Salgueirista (supporting Sport Comércio e Salgueiros). The research was based on observation through direct participation made among the groups over six years. Also conducted were 90 semi-structured interviews, 20 autobiographical narratives, and surveys (sample 206 for estimated n=1766).

Social inclusion is a goal of 21st-century education and social welfare, yet research with violently displaced youth leaves gaps in its meaning. Social inclusion, a societal aim, lacks the perspectives of youth at its center. Given the pressures and power relations involved in learning how young people think and feel about social injustices and the support they need, developmental researchers must find innovative ways to study youth experiences and intentions in relation to environments, especially environments that threaten young lives. Emerging research highlights how displaced youth, peers along their journeys, and adults guiding supportive interventions make audible the meaning of social inclusion. Policy paradigms would benefit from research on sense-making in interventions rather than from emphasizing behavioral assessments and assimilation to local norms, as implied by social inclusion.
