With an ever-increasing development of internet communications, human reactions have interred a new phase. The results of these communications are a most significant matter considered by the sociologists. Using the internet is developing and forms a significant part of individuals` lives. The advantages and disadvantages of this easiness in communicating and traveling through boundaries should be considered. Breaking the norms happened in the light of these reactions should be discussed, also increasing in awareness and availability to information, joining to global information networks and communication is another face of this placeless and timelessness. This contrasting face challenges the position of cyber space in the social communications, a challenge of which there is no escape by the society. In this research it is an attempt to criticize this challenge through criticizing the position of internet and to consider the role of social networks. We suppose that it is not possible to neglect the advantages of virtual space in developing a new level of human occasions but via this method lack of proper awareness in principle using of it results in some problems which should be covered by a proper training and comprehensive informing. Online spaces penetrate in human`s life in an extended way and it is a good opportunity to have good use from social networks as the basic condition. The results of this presence form reaction in individuals which will be considered in the present study.

Fast Evolution

The Internet has become the essential media for daily work of cultural management professionals. Its richness of contents and the fast evolution of technologies do even exceed the capacity of adaptation and decision of the professionals due to the wide range of possibilities that the Internet offers. It is in this new context where technologies and cultures get mixed up as cultural institutions cannot play the same roles as they did in the analogic world. Not only the classical functions of conservation, research, commission or exhibition have to be valued, but also in the role of broadcasting, doors to communication 2.0 should be opened, getting into the social networks, not only sharing but also listening what the users have to say. This new step has to be managed by institutions that are able to understand and add the new philosophy 2.0 in their corporative and communication culture. It is not longer one-way communication as the role of the users is essential. The author will analyse the strategies and models of some institutions that have incorporated digital practices and culture in their organizations and communication and therefore, the way they connect with their different audiences (Creators/artists, users and other organizations.) have changed.

The Impact

AbstractThis article aims to contribute to a better understanding of the impact of the Internet on distributed creativity. While the social mechanisms that are fundamental for creative expression are not radically different online, and while we want to avoid overly romanticizing the role of the Internet or falling prey to technological determinism, we argue that there are, nevertheless, significant shifts that must be acknowledged and examined. In order to achieve a more nuanced and analytical account, we suggest a simple framework centred around five questions - who, when, where, how and why - that allow for a differentiated understanding of the range of changes in creative expression in the Internet age. To model the application of this framework, we use the example of crowdsourced art (participatory online art) as a creative practice that illustrates some of these key shifts. In thinking about creativity in online spaces, we suggest that the consideration of actors (who), times (when), places (where), processes (how) and motives (why) facilitates a valuable multidimensional understanding of these significant and complex changes.

Taking Care

Powszechnie macierzyństwo postrzegane jest, podobnie jak związana z nim rola matki, przez pryzmat różnorodnych stereotypów. Macierzyństwo stanowi jeden z najważniejszych etapów w życiu kobiety, a współcześnie wobec matek formułowane są różnorodne oczekiwania: aby potrafiły efektywnie zająć się pracą, domem, życiem rodzinnym, a przede wszystkim dziećmi. W opinii społecznej realizacja tych zadań powinna matkom zapewnić poczucie spełnienia życiowego, mimo psychofizycznego zmęczenia. Jednak nie zawsze tak jest – kobiety coraz częściej dzielą się otwarcie opiniami i doświadczeniami związanymi z przeżywanym macierzyństwem, przedstawianym bardziej realistycznie, ze wszystkimi jego wadami oraz zaletami. Ze względu na znaczenie macierzyństwa względem indywidualnego i społecznego życia w artykule została przedstawiona próba weryfikacji stereotypu Matki Polki w kontekście danych pochodzących z parentingowych komunikatów internetowych publikowanych przez współczesne matki. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych analiz zostało zidentyfikowane nowe zjawisko społeczne, związane z funkcjonowaniem w przestrzeni internetowej specyficznej grupy kobiet określonych przez autorki artykułu mianem „matek nowoplemiennych”. W tekście podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na pytania, jakie są cechy „nowoplemiennej matki” oraz jak określa ona problemy związane z macierzyństwem. Motherhood is widely perceived (similarly as the role of mother associated with it) through the prism of various stereotypes. Motherhood is one of the most important threads in a woman’s life and nowadays, many things are expected of mothers, such as: being effective at work, home, being able to take care of house and family, and above all, taking care of children. In the social opinion, being successful in all of these areas “should” give a mother a sense of fulfillment despite her psychophysical fatigue. However, this is not always the case – women more often share opinions and experiences related to the experience of motherhood, with all its advantages and disadvantages. Due to the importance of motherhood for individual and social life, this article presents an attempt to verify the stereotype of a Polish Mother in the context of parenting content published by modern mothers on the internet. Based on analysis, a new social phenomenon has been identified. There is a specific group of women functioning in the internet, they are described by the authors of the article as “neo-tribe mothers”. Authors made an attempt to answer the following questions, such as: what the characteristics of a “neo-tribe mother” are and how she identifies problems related to motherhood.

Methods Of Control

The access to the internet in Cuba marks the beginning of a change and it brings new ways to debate on the socialist ideology reformulating the strategies to operate, dialogue, and accept any form of criticism. This chapter explores the role of the internet in Cuba from the perspective of the conflict in the virtual space and how it reshapes the Cuban revolutionary ideal. Thus, this section investigates the ways in which cyber mambises interact in order to control the digital zone; it examines the social and political implications of these cyber activities, and the conflicts generated from them. Also, this chapter focuses on the methods of control of the digital space and on how control is enacted through a hyper-visible presence in the web. Consequently, it examines how the virtual interactions between the controller and the controlled change the dynamics of control, adding new layers to the dialogue—or lack of dialogue—and conflict between officials and dissidents on the island.

The evolving world of the Internet — blogs, podcasts, wikis, social networks — offers instructors and students radically new ways to research, communicate, and learn. Integrating these Internet tools into the college classroom, however, is not an easy task. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to examine the role of social networking in education and demonstrate how social network sites (SNS) can be used in a college classroom setting. To do this, existing research relating to SNS and education is discussed, and the primary advantages and disadvantages of using SNS in the classroom are explored. Most importantly, specific instructions and guidelines to follow when implementing SNS (i.e., Facebook) within the college classroom are provided. Specifically, we show that multiple types of Facebook course integration options are available to instructors. It is concluded that SNS, such as Facebook, can be appropriately and effectively used in an academic setting if proper guidelines are established and implemented.

The subject of this research is the specifics, forms and functions of interaction in social media groups between the representatives of ethnic communities. The goal consists in determination of the role of social networks in adaptation of ethnocultural communities of St. Petersburg. The research is based on the polling technique for acquisition of information on the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral state of a person. The survey was conducted via distribution of questionnaires among the representatives of ethnic groups. The article also employs the method of systematic scientific observation over the social media groups, topic raised therein, as well as reading and analysis of the comments. The scientific novelty of this work consists in outlining of the nature, trends and development prospects of cross-cultural communications as the channel for ethnocultural interaction. &nbsp;The main conclusions, which touch upon users from various ethnic communities who do not have enough experience in organization of activity of social media groups, demonstrate that it causes the loss of the sense of security, accumulation of prejudices and escalation of interethnic conflicts, as well as preference of the with restricted access, which contributes to lock down of the group and impedes adaptation in the accepting society. Stabilization of situation can be achieved by improvement of the quality of content posted in the social media, as well as level of their administration.
