The article attempts to determine the characteristics of social movements through their organizational (institutionalized) form – public associations. In the conditions of the emergence of a «new» type of society, the network, it is shown that it is public movements are becoming new institutions of public interest representation through to the crisis of traditional mechanisms of representation of interests. In connection with the complexity of the analysis of social movements, which is associated with the main characteristics of the latter: dynamic nature, absence of a clear organizational structure, the availability of various forms (protests, flashmobs , revolutions, various actions ), diverse scale of manifestation, mostly not a sufficiently long existence – it is proposed to consider the institutionalized form of social movements – public associations (organizations). It was determined the expediency of the specifics of such an approach, which consists primarily in the presence of definite correlations between social movements and public organizations. To achieve the goal of the study, it is first proposed to pay attention to two main characteristics relating to the activities of public organizations - their number and level of citizen involvement. Analysis of the results of sociological research and statistical data showed some discrepancies between official data and personal opinion of citizens regarding their participation in public organizations, which is most likely related to the specifics of the activities of these organizations in Ukrainian society. As a result, we came to the conclusion that today, social movements in Ukrainian society act primarily through a network of public organizations (women's, environmental movement, etc.) Also, social movements appear as a certain form of interaction, which is associated with crisis periods as a whole in society and in its individual spheres. It is noted that the participation of citizens in public associations in Ukraine today remains more formalized.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the specificities of wine forgery today and to show the perspectives offered to the different stakeholders in the wine industry. Design/methodology/approach Owing to the technical aspects of this paper, a literature review based on academic papers (history) and articles coming from the professional press, internet websites and public organizations was made. Findings It was found that frauds have always existed. Forgers are constantly in search of new ways of counterfeiting wines. Producers have had to adapt to the various forms of counterfeiting, mainly by resorting to modern technology. As the traceability of great wines is becoming crucial, a new type of relationships between producers anxious to offer genuine estate wines and consumers anxious to drink the bottles they ordered has developed. This new constraint became a marketing opportunity for producers. Research limitations/implications It was difficult to obtain official data (interviews or surveys) because of the sensitiveness of the topic. Practical implications This paper, which offers an inventory of the methods used by forgers to deceive customers, makes both producers and consumers aware of the extent of the problem. The counterfeiting phenomenon is dangerous for producers’ image and the technological changes are a tool allowing producers to protect their wine and reinforce their relationships with consumers. Originality/value This paper gives an overview of forgers’ ploys in France. It opens a discussion about perspectives for the different stakeholders while most of the research tends to focus on technical solutions and the analysis of specific affairs which received media coverage.

The process of changing the media landscape in Ukraine cannot be called simple. At the same time, these changes are very large and irreversible - as well as changes in Ukrainian society. This paper deals with the issues related to the present media landscape of Ukraine and the factors that influence it. The work describes the relationship between the media and the events of Euromaidan and the Revolution of Dignity, as well as the identity crisis that led to the events of 2013–2014 in Ukraine. The role of the mass media in the democratic revolutions in Ukraine is very important. The changing position of the media, the influence of the oligarchs, and the resistance of media workers - all of this was a part of the revolution that changed not only Ukrainian society but also the mass media for the better. Journalists, being public figures, were active participants in the revolution and stood close to its roots. Admittedly, this had an impact on the specifics of the work of journalists who had to operate in extreme conditions, first during the Revolution of Dignity, and later broadcasting events in Crimea and eastern Ukraine. The events of the Euromaidan completely changed the situation, putting an end to the crisis of national self-identification. The media not only reflected on but also created these changes while experiencing restructuration. A new type of media has emerged – are ordinary people who, using their profiles in social networks, acted to spread the information about events, commented on them, and shared their reflections.

The article argues that the relevance of socialization of students in the new sphere of influence is the traditional alternative that is an institution of socialization, which is the social Internet network. The challenges of modern information society, that is qualified as network society, are that all of their members are defined and analyzed at all levels of public life. During the last five years the world has seen the emergence of mass global and regional social movements outside of institutional structures representing open systems with a spontaneous nature. These social movements do not have any tangible hierarchy and leaders; information within the movement activity is spread virally and mainly using new electronic communication tools – mass self-communication constituting spaces of communication autonomy beyond the control of governments. It is shown that the natural response to these challenges is the emergence of new – networking – social communities and new means of social communication, which make them an alternative to traditional counterparts. A feature of the new type of social movements is their emergence in virtual space. Virtual mass self-communication becomes the main practical mechanism for social consolidation in the modern informational society. The article focuses on the fact that the immediate social communication challenges in the networked society is in a fundamentally different online, virtual format. The subjects of communications in the networked society are users of social Internet networks that rally in the networking community. These communities have become an alternative medium of socialization or them at the actual period of social development.

Despite the relative integrity it had its own features in Galicia,Volyn', on Bukovyna, Transcarpathia. As living conditions turned out to be peaceful, old plastcentres started to form in schools. "Plast" in Galicia was an example of inheritance and incentive tothe development on other western Ukrainian territories and in emigration.The figure of famous Hutsul plastun Michael Gorbovy (1896 – 1941) is very interesting andmultidimensional. Indeed, it is a symbolic name in the history of Ukrainian scout organization. Hewas a member of many national public organizations. With his name economic and cooperativeactivities of "Plast" in Gutsulschina are connected. He was the organizer of craft departments of"Plast". The unicity of this disjoint person is expressed in his great love for Ukraine andresponsibility for its future. Gorbovy considered physical, moral and national-patriotic educationof children and youth as his main task. He strived to spread the idea of Ukrainian scouting amongwide groups of people. For this work on 22th of May, 1924 he was awarded with a plast title of ascoutmaster. Michael Gorbovy formed national consciousness, high spirituality, love of God andUkraine among youth for the "great aim" which is to build an independent Ukrainian nation.Experts qualify current spiritual and moral state of the Ukrainian society as "crisis". School isnot able to fill the educational vacuum which has appeared after the elimination of the Pioneer andKomsomol organizations. No new alternative children's institutions have been suggested. In such adifficult situation the experience of the activity of the Ukrainian scouting movement may be useful.Creative and practical achievements of "Plast" leaders as key figures and main carriers of the plast'seducational methods are especially important. These include a figure of the leader of the UkrainianScouting movement in Gutsulschina, Michael Gorbovy

Based on the statistics, because of the survey of Novosibirsk region residents, we studied data on personal readiness for activity in work, to flexibility, to adaptability. Employees should be able to assess the real situation, and should be able to be creative. Businesses are moving to a flexible organization, flexible working conditions. It is increasingly worrying workers and businesses. The article takes on special relevance in the context of the search and activation of new sources of economic development with the introduction of a new methodology for the management of Agile. The assessment was satisfactory. Self-assessment of the potential of workers has been reasonable. The level of independence was adequate. The desire to participate in a new type of economy with commercialization is unsatisfactory. The desire to participate in scientific developments, discoveries, inventions is unsatisfactory. The validity of the study's findings is based on self-assessments of ability, preparedness (competence) and desire (motivation) activities, mainly for work and continuous education.

Because of the increasing importance of the link between social media and social movements, recent research attempts to bridge the gap between media studies and sociological research on social movements. Yet, questions remain unanswered. For example, does social media help facilitate activism that leads to social change? What are the strengths and limitations of social media in creating and maintaining a social movement? This chapter explores these questions and others, paying attention to the #Blacklivesmatter hashtag and social movement, which scholars argue is a power force demanding social change in America. This chapter introduces the concepts of social media and social movements and reviews recent literature examining how social media plays an active role in creating and encouraging social movements. This chapter also considers how sociological theory can provide a better understanding of what social media means for modern social change and concludes with suggestions for future research.

Presidential Session

Sociologists have queried over the utility and effectiveness of generational analysis for some time. Here, the authors contend that intragenerational analyses are needed to critically and comprehensively make sense of the social world. Drawing on four presentations during the presidential session titled, “#NextGenBlackSoc: New Directions in the Sociology of Black Millennials,” the authors use Black Millennials as a case to illustrate how racializing generational studies can strengthen sociological research in four particular subdisciplines: Collective Behavior and Social Movements, Religion, Gender and Sexuality, and Family. They ultimately argue new analytic approaches are necessary to produce significant research on individuals and groups with complex intersectional identities and the particularities of their social experiences.
