The Mística is the symbolic or dramatic social movement of Marxism initiated by Brazilian Landless Rural Workers. It is the popular movement practiced by the Communist parties and socialist organizations of the world. It was developed from Latin American liberation doctrine and interpreted as love for a cause, solidarity experienced in collectivity, symbolic presentation of the socialist movement, and belief in radical change. It is one type of philosophical movement which has a demonstrative attachment, praxis of pedagogy, behavioral collectivity, and cultural movement to change the social world guided by the theory of Karl Marx. It has political roots against the homogenization of culture, imperialism, and capitalist domination of the world. It uses art, music, drama, activity, symbol, media, and other modern tools which help the people for emancipation. This article will demonstrate some of the major aspects of mistica based upon the field observation of Brazil and Nepal.

Puerto Rican Diaspora

Between July 13-24, 2019 the people of Puerto Rico took the streets after a series of corruption scandals shocked the political establishment. The social uprising resulted in the ousting of the Governor of Puerto Rico (Dr. Ricardo Rosselló, Ricky), the resignation of the majority of his staff something unprecedented in the history of Puerto Rico; this period has been called El Verano del 19 (Summer of 19). Social media played a crucial role in both the organization and dissemination of the protests, marches, and other activities that occurred within this period. Puerto Ricans in the island and around the world engaged in this social movement through the digital revolution mainly under the hashtag #RickyRenuncia (Ricky Resign), with a small counter movement under the hashtag #RickySeQueda (Ricky will stay). The purpose of this study is to illustrate the magnitude and grass roots nature of the political movement’s social media presence, as well as their characteristics of the population of both movements and their structures. We found that #RickyRenuncia was used approximately one million times in the period of analysis while #RickySeQueda barely reached 6,000 tweets. Particularly, the pervasiveness of cliques in the #RickySeQueda show concentrations of authority dedicated to its propagation, whilst the #RickyRenuncia propagation was much more distributed and decentralized with little to no interaction between significant nodes of authority. Noteworthy was the role of the Puerto Rican diaspora in the United States of America and around the world, contributing close to 40% of all geo-located tweets. Finally, we found that the Twitter followers of the former governor had indicators of being composed of two distinct populations: 1) those active in social media and 2) those who follow the account but who are not active participants of the social network. We discuss the implications of these findings on the interpretation of emergence, structure and dissemination of social activism and countermovement to these activities in the context of Puerto Rico.

The Church

Latin America was considered for many years the main bastion of Catholicism in the world by the number of parishioners and the influence of the church in the social and political life of the región, but in recent times there has been a decrease in the catholicity index. This paper explores three variables that have modified the identity of Catholicism in Latin American countries. The first one refers to the conversion processes that have expanded the presence of Christian denominations, by analyzing the reasons that revolve around the sense of belonging that these communities offer and that prop up their expansion and growth. The second variable accounts for those Catholics who still belong to the Catholic Church but who in their practices and beliefs have incorporated other magical or esoteric scheme in the form of religious syncretisms, modifying their sense of being Catholics in the world. The third factor has a political reference and has to do with the concept of laicism, a concept that sets its objective, not only in the separation of the State from the Church, but for historical reasons in catholicity restraint in the public space which has led to the confinement of the Catholic to the private, leaving other religious groups to occupy that space.

Renovating our thinking as humankind (rethinking nature, culture and development) is an imperative to approach the challenges of environmental crisis and to orient the social construction of a sustainable world. If environmental crisis is a predicament of knowledge, beyond the task of reinventing science, innovating technology and managing information, we must face the challenge of inventing new ways of thinking, organizing and acting in the world; of reorienting our ethical principles, modes of production and social practices for the construction of a sustainable civilization. Innovation for sustainability is drawn by alternative rationalities. I will argue that rationality of modernity has limited capacities to reestablish the ecological balance of the planet, while environmental rationality opens new perspectives to sustainability: the construction of a new economic paradigm based on neguentropic productivity, a politics of difference and an ethic of otherness. Paramount to this purpose is the contribution of Latin American Environmental Thinking.

Political Office

Politics is regarded in many parts of the world, especially in Africa, as a space meant exclusively for men. Therefore, women venturing into politics are made to believe that they are misfits, and the idea is anathematized and strangulated from the outset by those who are supposed to encourage the women. It is popularly believed that it is natural for men to rule over women, while it is considered abnormal and unnatural for women to rule over men. Although different societies have at one time or the other in history been ruled by queens and female warriors, at least, that is not usually seen as bizarre in societies that practice monarchical or imperial rule. In a democracy, however, a lot of people vehemently oppose the idea of a woman vying for a political office. In the case of Africa, two factors are responsible for this: the African people’s colonial experience and the bifurcation of the social sphere into public and private spaces. This has entrenched gender roles into the scheme of social reality held by the people. The people hold that certain roles must be performed by women while certain roles are exclusively for men. This culture has made it increasingly difficult to achieve parity and egalitarianism in gender relations in contemporary Africa and to achieve meaningful development in Africa. This article suggests ideological decolonization as a way out of the current predicament of the African women as the subaltern in the patriarchal and hostile political space of contemporary Africa.

The social environment is changing in the sub-continent as a result of which the fundamental qualities of environmental components are changing. Environmental testing is essential for a healthy life, the need to conserve scarce and priceless resources for the use of new and untapped resources for the conduct of development has made environmental management infinitely important. 1It is also very important to make the environment aware, sensitive and aware, it is necessary to explain to the people how our environment or ecological system ensures our protection from natural disasters and protection and enhancement of the environment and human intervention on a global scale. Due to the continuous damage to the environment balance and ecology due to this, not only will the weather, climate and other types of geographical conditions have seen unprecedented changes but also the rate of natural disasters and damage to the environment are mutually mutually beneficial. All the countries of the world should try to compensate for this by establishing mutual coordination among themselves. Development is important for us, but conservation and promotion of environment is more important than that. सामाजिक पर्यावरण ;ठपव ैवबपंस म्दअपतवदउमदजद्धमें परिवर्तित हो रहा है फलस्वरूप पर्यावरण संघटों के मौलिक गुणों में परिर्वतन हो रहा है। स्वस्थ जीवन के लिए पर्यावरणीय परीक्षण आवश्यक है, विकास के संचालन के लिए नत्य व अनत्य संसाधनों को उपयोग दुर्लभ एवं अमूल्य संसाधनों के संरक्षण की आवश्यकता ने पर्यावरण प्रबन्धन को अव्यन्त महत्वपूर्ण बना दिया है। 1पर्यावरण के प्रति सचेत संवदेनशील तथा जागरूक बनाया जाना भी बेहद जरूरी है, लोगो को यह समझाया जाना आवश्यक है कि आखिर हमारा पर्यावरण या परिस्थितिक तंत्र कैसे प्राकृतिक आपदाओं से हमारी सुरक्षा सुनिश्चित करता है तथा पर्यावरण का संरक्षण व सवर्द्धन तथा उसको वैश्विक स्तर पर मानवीय हस्तक्षेप के कारण जिस प्रकार पर्यावरण संतुलन तथा पारिस्थितिक को लगातार क्षति पहुचायी गयी है, उससे न सिर्फ मौसम, जलवायु तथा अन्य प्रकार की भौगोलिक परिस्थितियों में अप्रत्यशित परिवर्तन देखने को मिले बल्कि प्राकृतिक आपदाओं की दर तथा पर्यावरण को हुई क्षति के लिए परस्पर एक-दूसरे पर दोषारोपण करने के वजाय विश्व के सभी देशों को आपस में परस्पर समन्वय सम्बन्ध स्थापित करके इसकी भरपाई के लिए प्रयास करने चाहिए। हमार लिए विकास जरूरी है मगर पर्यावरण का संरक्षण तथा संवर्द्धन उससे कही अधिक जरूरी है।
