Abstract An inclusive society is a society that offers its members equal opportunities to participate in all aspects of public life, without discrimination, by exercising rights and assuming responsibilities so that progress is equally desired by the individuals and the society to which they belong. The human personality is formed by the interaction of the biological (heredity) with the factors of the social environment and under the influence of education. That is why it is necessary for education to be a modeling continuum, a process that begins in the family and is continued in school, the nucleus around which the free, independent, creative personalities of future adults will be formed. Today’s children are tomorrow’s adults, the ones who will make their mark on the future society. Whether tomorrow’s society will be an inclusive society or whether it will raise barriers and generate hostility depends on how we form the young generation today. This exploratory research, based on the analysis of official documents, statistics and concrete data of the observed reality, highlights important aspects regarding the access to education of disadvantaged groups, in a society that wants to be inclusive.

This article is intended to explicate how to assist the millennial generation of Ono Niha not to be uprooted from the Nias identity amid globalization and encourage them to participate in preserving Niasan culture. Through the social-historical analysis, this article appeals to the millennial generation not to be alienated from their own culture but participate in cultural conservation. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct a dialogue with millennials by presenting their origins, strengthening the family as a cultural home. Through formal education, the young generation is educated to recognize their cultural values and local wisdom as cultural heritage. Empowering them as subjects and objects of culture is one of the practices to understand local wisdom in the context of Nias. Moreover, increasing institutional roles in preserving various cultural elements are part of the way to increase the interest of millennial to learn their existence, identity, and culture.

Women’s growth and development are inevitably bound up with access to education. However, in Morocco, the current status of women’s education is disappointing. In fact, the World Bank statistics of rural girls’ school retention are at an alarming rate due to the social attitudes and cultural practices that devalue women. Morocco is no exception and it is among the countries where the number of illiterates is high despite all the efforts made by the government and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to eradicate illiteracy and dropouts among girls from rural areas. Research related to this phenomenon failed to address the issues, its causes, repercussions, and recommendations. The present article is an attempt to provide a comprehensive account of the present-day situation of school dropouts in the Moroccan society in light of the Education for All goals (EFA). The manuscript seeks to outline the main reasons that make schooling difficult if not impossible and to suggest some recommendations that the Moroccan policymakers should carefully adopt to overcome all the barriers. The current paper goes further to understand the causes and effects of this scourge which delays the development of women, the family and society at large.

This article is devoted to the study of representations of men of two family generations.Research has demonstrated sustainability of the concepts ofadult male of the family as an important value of life, supported by family traditions. It is proved immutability representations of men about women's role (which has to be a good mother and give support to man in moral way) and her husband (who provides her financially) in family life. Recreational function has appeared as typical characteristic of all men. Reproductive and material function turned to the distinction in perceptions between generations of the family, which are rigidly fixed-link in older generation, and broadcast through the planning function in junior generation. Sexual function has appeared estimated by the young generation as usual and appropriate just for their age: young people do not see its relevance in older age. Instead, thanks to the group of «parents», it has been proved that the formation of family subculture becomes more weight in a situation of separation of young families from original. In group «sons» the issue of separated residence has no such weight as for the older generation that may indicate a change in their perceptions of quality of life in the changed social conditions. The fact that the younger generation puts under revision the importance of education in planning their life in contrast to the previous one, which treated education as indestructible valuation basis of the quality of life, may indicate a change in the social situation. The study says that the family is the value of modern man: it just changes its shape according to the social conditions of life and its quality characteristics.

Starting from the writer's anxiety with the spread of violence and social deviation as well as the social behavior of the future young generation today. Several factors that really stand out are the result of internal influences, namely family. Most children in their teens show signs of deviance and rebellion, whether overt or secretly. The author is well aware that many other factors influence these things. However, juvenile delinquency treatment is often found due to the broken home factor. In this case, the family has an important role in creating children who have good morals in the future.

The approach used is descriptive qualitative with the interview method. Informants are the parents or guardians of the student. The purpose of this paper is to find out how parents teach religious education, what are the supporting and inhibiting factors of Islamic religious education and the best solutions in Islamic religious education in broken home families

Durante as últimas décadas as mulheres têm conquistado espaços que antes eram relegadas, mudando os espaços e sendo mudadas neles. Desta forma, este artigo discute sobre o que a literatura tem dito sobre as mulheres na política institucional, comparando com práticas e discursos que circundam uma vereadora de uma cidade do interior da Bahia. Para isso, produzio os dados através de uma história de vida e de estudos documentais e bibliográficos, a priore e a posteriori. Para analisa-los foi utilizada uma análise de discurso. O trabalho constatou que apesar de conquistar diversos espaços sociais, a sociedade e os partidos políticos ainda tratam a mulher como não pertencente a política institucional, ficando apenas na retórica questões de igualdade de oportunidades e participação. Outro importante elemento que afasta as mulheres da política, é a construção social de cada uma, fazendo com que dificulte a participação delas na vida pública.   During the last decades women have conquered spaces that were previously relegated, changing spaces and being changed in them. In this way, this article discusses what literature has said about women in institutional policy, comparing with practices and discourses that surround a city councilwoman from a city in the interior of Bahia. For this, it produced the data through a history of life and of documentary and bibliographic studies, the prior and the posteriori. A discourse analysis was used to analyze them. The paper found that despite conquering several social spaces, society and political parties still treat women as not belonging to institutional policy, leaving only rhetoric issues of equal opportunities and participation. Another important element that removes women from politics is the social construction of each one, making it difficult for them to participate in public life.

Violence against women (VAW) continues to exist as a pervasive, structural,systematic, and institutionalized violation of women’s basic human rights (UNDivision of Advancement for Women, 2006). It cuts across the boundaries of age, race, class, education, and religion which affect women of all ages and all backgrounds in every corner of the world. Such violence is used to control and subjugate women by instilling a sense of insecurity that keeps them “bound to the home, economically exploited and socially suppressed” (Mathu, 2008, p. 65). It is estimated that one out of every five women worldwide will be abused during her lifetime with rates reaching up to 70 percent in some countries (WHO, 2005). Whether this abuse is perpetrated by the state and its agents, by family members, or even by strangers, VAW is closely related to the regulation of sexuality in a gender specific (patriarchal) manner. This regulation is, on the one hand, maintained through the implementation of strict cultural, communal, and religious norms, and on the other hand, through particular legal measures that sustain these norms. Therefore, religious institutions, the media, the family/tribe, cultural networks, and the legal system continually disciplinewomen’s sexuality and punish those women (and in some instances men) who have transgressed or allegedly contravened the social boundaries of ‘appropriateness’ as delineated by each society. Such women/men may include lesbians/gays, women who appear ‘too masculine’ or men who appear ‘too feminine,’ women who try to exercise their rights freely or men who do not assert their rights as ‘real men’ should, women/men who have been sexually assaulted or raped, and women/men who challenge male/older male authority.
