Over Time

In Slavic folk culture, Christianity is a foreign, borrowed cultural model, while the oral tradition is native and familiar. The different areas of folk culture were influenced to varying degrees by the Christian tradition. The most dependent area of Slavic folk culture on Christianity was the calendar. In many cases, it only superficially accepted the Christian content of calendar elements and reinterpreted it in accordance with the traditional mythological notions. The same can be said about the folk cult of saints. The Christian saints replaced pagan gods and over time were included in the system of folk ideas, beliefs and rituals. The mechanism for regulating the balance between man and the world is a system of prohibitions, the violation of which is recognized as sin and is punished by natural disasters, death, disease and human misfortunes. The Slavic folk tradition adapted not only the individual elements, structures and semantic categories of Christianity, but also the whole texts, plots, motifs, and themes developed in various folklore genres. Therefore, the pre-Christian folk tradition of the Slavs was able to assimilate many Christian concepts, symbols, and texts, translate them into its own language and fill them with its own content.

AbstractAlfred North Whitehead's and Charles Hartshorne's process thinking presents a complex and sophisticated metaphysical underpinning for a theory of self and self-identity. Their construction of the self has significant implications for understanding of the (human) community and the natural environment. Process thinking, I argue, undercuts the idea of self unity; of self-continuity over time; and of self-differentiation from the world. When combined, these three elements mean that it is hard to separate the individual, personal self from the community and the natural world. I compare these implications from process thinking with what might seem similar implications from radical ecological philosophies. Although there are ethical and metaphysical differences between process thinkers and deep ecologists, both kinds of theory need to be treated with caution in application to our thinking about the environment.

The article analyses the essence of the concept of "interest". It is analysed the way new social shifts and changes provoke new organizational forms. It is illustrated that merging into new organizational forms is happening on a new basis. Most often, interest appears in scientific research as emotion, intention, concernment, desire, and activity stimulus. In Soviet psychological science, the concept of interest was identified with the concept of cognitive need. Such needs are distinguished as saturated and unsaturated. This characteristic most clearly illustrates the difference between need and interest. Interest has an unsaturated basis; it is not aimed at producing a specific result. Interest can remain the same during the life, or the realization of one interest turns to the realization of the next one. Interests can transform over time, but it is not a transformation of interest itself – it is the transformation of the Self-Concept of the individual. It is presented that interest is always conscious and rational in its essence. The emergence of interest is irrational, it always appears spontaneously. It has been researched that interest is always the result of activity. Interest opens the field of possibilities in the implementation of ideas. Social changesare different in nature. If they bring a new idea, then such an idea corresponds tothe interests, not to the needs. If social changesare dictated by unmet basic needs, then we have a social uprising (revolution).There is no social activity without interest. The space where interests prevail is the space of social change. Supporting "otherness" in social terms gives impetus to development and social shifts. The emergence of scientific and creative communities illustrates how the transition from need to interest changes the world around us.

Over Time

In recent decades we have witnessed the disruptive rise of an ultraliberalism which, by enhancing the autonomy of the individual, has given the collective dimension a primarily instrumental connotation; the affirmation of the “self-centered man” (Bertin’s definition), that pursues the experience of the world above all on the level of “possession”, has intertwined with the crisis, especially among adults, in the practice of friendship, understood as a relationship of voluntary, free interdependence, which continues over time through manifestations of sharing, complicity, intimacy, affection and mutual assistance. The social isolation resulting from the pandemic event has led to the reconsideration of the importance of friendships and to the search for new opportunities for meeting, online or face to face (possibly respecting the current restrictive rules for the containment of the epidemic), in which “being together” is predominant over “doing something together”.

This book is a masterful introduction to, and appreciation of, sociology as a window into our world. The culmination of a distinguished career, and a fascinating exploration into the nature of human social life, the book describes the field of sociology as a way of looking at the world rather than as a simple gathering of facts about it. It notes that sociologists look out at the same human scenes as poets, historians, economists, or any other observers of the vast social landscape spread out before them, but select different aspects of that vast panorama to focus on and attend to. The book considers how sociology became a field of study, and how it has turned its attention over time to new areas of study such as race and gender and what the book calls “social speciation.” The book provides readers with new ways of The Individual and the Social thinking about human culture and social life.

Negative Connotation

The relevance of the research is determined by the need to improve the economic literacy of the population, economic communications, and therefore study the specifics of discursive practices recorded in the economic media text. This will allow us to form full-fledged axiological guidelines in the economic sphere as a whole, including in the aspect of the process of deprivation, and on this basis form a fragment of the value picture of the world. It will undoubtedly be able to affect the material well-being of both the individual and the entire society as a whole. Since superfluous semantics basically contains a negative connotation, and the reader, perceiving the economic event described, introduces it into a certain social context, it is necessary to study the reader's perception of statements with superfluous semantics. This can help to improve the content and formal means used, as well as the methods of presenting economic information in Newspapers.

Complete Analogy

A methodological discussion of the value and use of parallels from the history of religion retains its value, especially to-day, when the ‘religionsgeschichtliche Methode’ is rejected even by some scholars of genuine insight.Deissner,a conservative theologian, recognizes in principle the justification of the method, and aims to set the New Testament in its relation to the history of civilization and of religion. He holds the comparison of Christian traditions with kindred non-christian facts to be indispensable, but criticizes the usual method, as employed for instance by Bousset, on the ground that it pays too much attention to the connection of the New Testament with the world of religion outside and too little to the specific nature of Christianity itself. To him, comparison with other religions is a means for determining the connection and contact of the New Testament with the world at large (for example, in the field of language) with the object of showing how incomparable is the New Testament, how underived, real, original — dogmatically speaking, of showing its supernatural character, built up of elements which the conception of a purely immanent cause leaves unexplained. His book is intended to be conciliatory, and formulates in detail various sound principles, such as the distinction between adopting alien religious terminology and filling it with new and distinctive contents. He errs in making the problem too simple and trying to solve it by a dogma. The relations of primitive Christianity to the development of religion in general are too complicated to be covered by the mere distinction between form and contents. It is also a mistake to identify the individual and distinctive with the essential. To the essential elements of primitive Christian tradition belong in fact those which find complete analogy in syncretism and Judaism, and it is dangerous to rest the character of Christianity as revelation on those elements only which a scholar thinks not to be derivative or to have no analogies. Others may think differently, or the missing analogies may be found to-morrow! (See also Bultmann, ThLZ, 1922, no. 10.)

The problem of identity and identity of the individual, which exists throughout human history, is particularly acute at the intersection of epochs, when existing knowledge and skills are not enough to understand the processes taking place in society, history, and nature, and new theories and tools have not yet been developed. When a civilization was faced with a paradox, when it was decided whether to live as before or accept a new one, it was individuals who were able to go beyond identity that showed a new path. It went against the existing dogmas, against identity. Moreover, over time, man had to accept many more rules and restrictions than at the beginning of his existence. At the intersection of epochs, there was an infusion of new ideas into society. This was done by people who did not just see the future in dreams or nightmares, but were able to imagine what the implementation of a particular postulate in the life of society entails. There was a crisis that literally buried all the old ideas about the world around us and other communities. It was then that the metaphysical perception of the world took on a real form, which, nevertheless, had to be worked out for the sake of the existence of society as a whole.

Este trabalho pretende discutir sobre a disciplina de História nos anos iniciais do ensino Fundamental, desde metodologias e conceitos, sua relevância para a formação do indivíduo, o papel do professor de História e sua contribuição para a consciência crítica e descoberta de si como agente de transformação social, até o seu poder de intervir na sociedade. Ideias discutidas, amparando-se em diversos autores, para corroborar a importância do estudo e ensino de História nos anos iniciais do ensino Fundamental. Conclui-se que estudar História é muito mais que decorar datas e nomes. É descobrir, avaliar fatos registrados no passado para compreender as sociedades no mundo de hoje. Suas relações estabelecidas ao logo do tempo e espaço, para assim entender as permanências e rupturas no decorrer dos anos. E da autonomia ao educando de interferir na sociedade de forma crítica enquanto ser histórico. THE DISCIPLINE OF HISTORY IN THE INITIAL YEARS OF BASIC EDUCATION ABSTRACT This paper intends to discuss the discipline of History in the initial years of elementary education, from methodologies and concepts, its relevance to the formation of the individual, the role of the teacher of History and its contribution to critical awareness and discovery of self as agent of transformation to their power to intervene in society. Ideas discussed, supported by several authors, to corroborate the importance of the study and teaching of History in the initial years of Elementary education. It is concluded that studying History is much more than decorating dates and names. It is discovering, assessing facts recorded in the past to understand societies in the world today. Their relationships established over time and space, to understand the permanence and ruptures over the years.

A description of two cases from my time as a school psychologist in the middle of the 1950s forms the background to the following question: Has anything important happened since then in psychological research to help us to a better understanding of how and why individuals think, feel, act, and react as they do in real life and how they develop over time? The studies serve as a background for some general propositions about the nature of the phenomena that concerns us in developmental research, for a summary description of the developments in psychological research over the last 40 years as I see them, and for some suggestions about future directions.

In the 21st century, the world became a sign of globalization: global conflicts, global disasters, global economy, global Internet, etc. The Polish researcher Casimir Zhigulsky defines globalization as a kind of process, that is, the target set of characteristic changes that develop over time and occur in the modern world. These changes in general are reduced to mutual rapprochement, reduction of distances, the rapid appearance of a large number of different connections, contacts, exchanges, and to increase the dependence of society in almost all spheres of his life from what is happening in other, often very remote regions of the world.
