Relevance. The modern world is special, unprecedented changes are taking place. At the same time, present-day education does not always meet the challenges of the new millennium. The foregoing has a negative impact on the rate of development of the society and the country as a whole. The problem of this study is to reveal the aspects associated with the rapid changes in the society and the World in general, and to determine the trajectory of educational development in the third millennium. The aim is to identify, generalize and interpret the ideas for building education in the 21st century, to determine and substantiate the ways of its development. Methodology. When preparing the material, the author assigned primary importance to the conceptual provisions of humanistic pedagogy, along with the principles of integrity and systemness; objectivity; universal interrelation between phenomena; combination of the development retrospective with the development prospects; regarding the process of education development as self-evolution and self-development. Results and discussion. The proposition that education of the 21st century should be the advance one in its nature is substantiated. There is a focus on the skills to be mastered by everyone who will live in the house of the third millennium. Some content-related and technological aspects of education at a new stage of its development are revealed. Much attention is devoted to the questions of what a Person of the 21st century should be and what role the education plays in this process. The most controversial are the issues regarding transformations in the educational system: what changes are needed to create advance education, what should be improved in the nurturing system to enable a person of the third millennium not only to protect the modern civilization from sliding to the abyss, but also to ensure its progressive development, etc. Conclusion. According to futurologists, in the next two or three decades education will have to cover the distance that used to take two or three centuries. This will contribute to changes in its organizational, content-related and technological aspects. Education should become the advance one, ensuring the advance development of all institutions of the society and the country as a whole.

A sea change of major proportions is taking place in the historical social system forming the modern world, creating a widespread sense of uncertainty about the present and foreseeable future. In the words of Eric Hobsbawm, as ‘the citizens of the fin de siècle tapped their way through the global fog that surrounded them, into the third millennium, all they knew for certain was that an era of history had ended. They knew very little else’.

Although we entered the third millennium many years ago, women in Serbia are still living in an imbalance between old, traditional roles and new values. Instead of being relieved of their traditional burdens, women in the 21st century seem to be experiencing even harder lives. Lost between old patriarchal relations and obligations, they have also acquired some new ones. In addition to the traditional (implicit) roles of wife, mother, and housewife, now the already common (covered in the movie) question arises: what do women want? To have families, careers, and leadership positions or all of these combined. However, this question is not only addressed to them, but to the wider social community and the state. Why? Because the old roles have remained while for new, professional positions women are expected to compete with men on an equal footing, with the exception of pay and a few other things. In this paper, we will try to answer these questions or at least point out the existing problems, including the already mentioned pay gap and the various challenges a modern woman in Serbia faces.

AbstractNew Testament scholarship today must needs be seen in the context of methodological plurality. Whether this fact is viewed with suspicion or with delight, there is no turning back - on the threshold of the twenty-first century we are faced with a plethora of hermeneutical methods offering insight into scripture. Our task is to see which new paradigms will best enable us to interpret the New Testament in a world vastly different from that of early Christianity. This article suggests that an 'interreligious' approach to understanding and teaching scripture be seriously considered.

Technology has become one of the most important spheres in the race for power in the 21st century. The two main technology ecosystems—the American and the Chinese—have clearly taken shape by the beginning of the third decade of this century. A dilemma for Russia in this regard is whether to join one of the existing ecosystems or develop one of its own. The paper critically examines the impact of contemporary trends in the digital domain on international relations and state policies, weighs up Russia’s competitive advantages and the challenges in this domain, and charts a strategy that Moscow should follow in the modern world of digital competition.

Changes in society and culture affect youth as part of society. The digital age of the 21st century has contributed enormously to the development of human resources, but from these advances, it also plays a negative impact on the development of human resources, especially adolescents in their development. The virtue of self-socialization in adolescents toward the negative is a shared responsibility between the school as a formal education institution and the family. Partnership in developing youth resources between these two community institutions is very important for the achievement of educational goals in adolescent self-development.

Abstract 21st-century journalists, politicians, and terrorists have found the crusades to be a remarkably versatile point of reference when they consider religiously articulated violence in the modern world. This article will explore how recent academic historiography relates to and can better inform modern debates about geopolitics, the role of religion in political life, as well as the broader question of how scholars can meaningfully participate in those debates. Historians need to walk a fine line between taking religious experience seriously while also rejecting simple explanations that see religion as especially culpable in inspiring violence, and that portray such violence as an irrational return to the “medieval”. The various sections of the article provide a few key examples of recent controversies over religious violence, and situate both traditional and recent crusades historiography within a contemporary political context. It will be argued here that recent crusades scholarship has provided nuanced and dynamic accounts of crusading piety that can be used to reject simplistic explanations of religious violence as pre-modern, and as inherent in particular faith traditions.
