Society is a person in its social relations. If the term "society" is used to determine reality as a system of interconnections and relationships between people, then its social system appears as an entity in which human societies are diverse in character and social role. Social life is expressed in the grouping of members of society on the basis of certain objectively predetermined types of relations between them. The integrity and unity of religious communities, their qualitative specificity determines the content of the doctrine and cult, on which they grow.

Depressive States

Darwin's theory of sexual selection offers a challenge to psychology and psychiatry. We select each other, and have been doing so since social life first evolved. But who is selected and what happens to those who are not selected? What social structures have evolved to contain the unselected? What behaviours have evolved to manage the selection process? How do the selected relate to the unselected and what behaviours have evolved to manage this asymmetry in social relations? What mental states have evolved to characterize the selected and the unselected? These questions should be kept in mind when we observe and study the social structures, behaviours and mental states that we see displayed before us in all the variety of nature. It is suggested that a significant amount of current psychiatric disorder, especially depressive states and both social and generalized anxiety disorder, have evolved because they managed the processes of being unselected and de-selected, and maintained the unselected in that social role without loss of life or physical incapacity, and enabled the unselected to contribute to general social well-being.

Patterns Of Interaction

Central Kalimantan is one of the provinces in Indonesia where the population is heterogeneous in terms of religion, culture and ethnicity. In several regencies and cities, there are places of worship located side by side (eg mosques, churches, Balai Basarah, and Vihara). Religious relations in several locations indicate awareness of social relations based on kinship. This work is aimed at exploring the patterns of interaction between the life of religious communities in religious, social activities and cultural life. The study employs a naturalistic qualitative approach where the actual condition in the field is being observed or to be natural with the conditions as they are. The data is based on observation, documents and interviews with selected informants from various religious groups including those practicing Islam, Christianity, and Hindu Kaharingan.  Two important findings of the work include, firstly, that the tolerance attitude among them is created because of the ideological strength of the local culture of ‘Huma Betang’ and the values of kinship. Secondly, the process of interaction occurrence is encouraged by the existed meaning of the 'front stage' (emphazising more on the interests of the group). It is an understanding of the differences among them without having to prioritize them in social life, culture and others as well as in the 'back stage' (personal self-concept) of being alert, prejudiced and more careful in daily communication.

The strength of Islamic boarding schools spread across the archipelago is their enormous potential as an instrument of anti-radicalism, which generally fosters and teaches a culture of peace and shows more tolerance. So this article aims to describe the construction of the value of tolerance in order to counteract radicalism in Islamic boarding schools. The method used in this paper is a qualitative method, using a sociocultural, phenomenological and educational approach. In this article, it can be revealed that the value of tolerance that can be instilled in students in Islamic boarding schools to prevent the emergence of radical ideologies is first, to apply tolerance in terms of aqidah or belief, namely acknowledging the existence of other religions and giving freedom to each individual to embrace it. Second, tolerance in religious rituals, namely understanding that each religion has different teachings in worship procedures. Third, tolerance in social relations, namely the association and social interaction of people of other religions is not prohibited as long as it does not conflict with the control. Because tolerance between religious communities in worldly converts is indeed recommended to help each other, live in harmony regardless of differences in religion, ethnicity, language and race. This is a mainstream pesantren which actually displays a tolerant face, takes an accommodative attitude towards cultures without losing its monotheistic belief.   (Kekuatan pondok pesantren yang tersebar di Nusantara adalah potensi yang sangat besar sebagai instrumen anti radikalisme, yang pada umumnya membina dan mengajarkan budaya damai serta lebih banyak menampakan toleransi. Maka artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan konstruksi dalam penanaman nilai toleransi guna menangkal faham radikal di pondok pesantren. Adapun metode yang diguanakan dalam penulisan ini adalah metode kualitatif, dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosiokultural, fenomenologi dan edukatif. Dalam artikel ini, dapat diungkapkan bahwa nilai toleransi yang dapat ditananamkan kepada santri di pondok pesantren guna menangkal munculnya faham radikal adalah pertama, berlaku toleransi dalam hal aqidah atau keyakinan, yakni mengakui esksistensi agama lain dan memberi kebebasan kepada setiap individu untuk memeluknya. Kedua, toleransi dalam ritual keagamaan, yakni memahami bahwa masing-masing agama mempunyai ajaran berbeda-beda dalam tata cara peribadatan. Ketiga, toleransi dalam hubungan social, yakni pergaulan dan interaksinya dalam sosial umat agama lain tidak dilarang sepanjang tidak bertentangan dengan control tersebut. Karena toleransi antar umat beragama dalam mualamah duniawi memang dianjurkan supaya tolong menolong, hidup dalam kerukunan tanpa memandang perbedaan agama, suku, bahasa dan ras. Hal ini merupakan mainstream pesantren sesungguhnya menampilkan wajahnya yang toleran, melakukan sikap akomodatif atas kebudayaan-kebudayaan tanpa  kehilangan keyakinan tauhidnya.)

The case study in this paper is on the Daur (as well as the Evenki, Buriat, and Bargu Mongols) in Hulun Buir, Northeast China. The aim of this research is to examine how shamanic rituals function as a conduit to actualize communications between the clan members and their shaman ancestors. Through examinations and observations of Daur and other Indigenous shamanic rituals in Northeast China, this paper argues that the human construction of the shamanic landscape brings humans, other-than-humans, and things together into social relations in shamanic ontologies. Inter-human metamorphosis is crucial to Indigenous self-conceptualization and identity. Through rituals, ancestor spirits are active actors involved in almost every aspect of modern human social life among these Indigenous peoples.

An adequate understanding of the complex connections between changes in the social relations of production and changes in the bases of group formation demands an historical approach in which consciousness and its ideological products are viewed dynamically, not as the mechanically determined superstructural reflections of material relations but as an active and constituent components of everyday social life. The concepts required for such an analysis are developed here, drawing on the seminal work of both Marx and Weber, as well as on more recent scholarship, and are applied to recent changes in agrarian relations and ideological practice in Anuradhapura District, Sri Lanka.

Food and feast are integral and key components of human cultures across the world. Feasts associated with religious rituals have special social and cultural significance when compared to those in any other festivities or celebrations in people’s life. In this study, an approach is made to comparatively analyze the feasts at religious festivals of two distinctive groups of people, one with a characteristic of simple society and the other of a complex society. The annual feast happening at the hamlets of the Anchunadu Vellalar community in the last days of the calendar year is an occasion that portrays the egalitarian nature of the people. While this feast is restricted within a single community of particular caste affiliation and geographical limitations, the feast associated with the kaliyattam ritual of village goddess in North Malabar is much wider in scope and participation. The enormous feast brings the people in a larger area and exhibits a solidarity that cuts across boundaries of religion, caste and community. Beyond the factors of social solidarity and togetherness, these events also illustrate its divisive characters mainly in terms of social hierarchy and gender. A comparative study of both the two feasts of two different contexts reveals the characteristic features of religious feasts and the value of food and feast in social life and solidarity and also how it acts as a survival of their past and as a tradition.
