The article describes the existence of a particular person in any language, defines the national-ethnic characteristics of a person’s perception. Consequently, the language scene in the universe must be understood and accepted not as a photograph, but as a drawing. Thus, an objective view of the universe is estimated according to the law of relativity. The concept of the national type, its concept, its knowledge, its status, character, purpose and position. The various paradigms, trends, directions, and flow are growing in the social and human sciences, especially in linguistics. This is determined by the accelerating pace of globalization in social life, the strengthening of interdisciplinary integration and the steady growth of scientific and technical ties related to the rational development of information and communication technologies. The cognitive approach is the result of such integration processes, and given the metaphorical ability of a person to be associated with the development of common sense of the senses, the intellectual potential of the senses is dominant. Intellectual abilities allow others to understand, see, analyze and evaluate differences.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are transforming every area of economic and social life all around the world. New types of jobs different from the traditional ones are created rapidly. The demand for highly skilled staff who uses technology effectively has become a requirement for success of companies and the growing industry.   However, the number of IT graduates is not keeping up with the current demand. In addition, companies have little or no training programs to develop ICT skills. Initiatives from the European Economic Area (EEA) and Norway Grants to support transnational projects for Youth Employment including European Digital Bootcamps (EDIBO) contribute to increase the job opportunities for young people outside of the labour market. In this way the Sustainable Development Goal 8 which aims to “promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all” could be fulfilled.   Nowadays, EDIBO is developing different training labs in order to achieve a success model of all processes involved with the organization, execution and evaluation. The goal of this document is to allow a rapid replication of the intensive ICT training among the partners of the project as well to the social innovation community in general.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the duties of local government units under the legal conditions related to access to the ICT network in Poland. Establishing public-private partnerships in the telecommunications sector, which is a field closely tied with cybersecurity, seems inevitable and necessary. The need to cooperate is the consequence of the development of information and communication technologies, which leads to their increasingly wide application in all aspects of social life. The tasks of local government involving network access have become key to the process of broadband network development. That is why public funding becomes particularly important in its absence, justified by the need to provide conditions for internet access as a human right. This has become especially topical as we face the challenges of COVID-19.

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the concept of smart city and its potential solutions to correct urban problems. Smart city practices and solutions have been investigated through the lens of a sustainable perspective. As the general practices in the global scale were examined, particular focus has been directed to smart city practices in Turkey and applicable suggestions have been developed. A number of cities in Turkey rank the lowest in the list of livable cities index. Consequential to the rapidly rising population ratios, the quality of provided services declines; economic and social life in cities are adversely affected and brand images of cities are deteriorated. With the implementation of smart city practices, such problems could be corrected, and these cities could gain competitive advantage over their rivals. The key component of this smart administration is to most effectively utilize information and communication technologies during each single step of this process.

Aborda referenciais teóricos que interpretam a sociedade contemporânea a partir de perspectivas cognitivo-reflexivas e estético-hermenêuticas e as relações entre processos (in)formativos e concepções de sociedade. Enfoca a interrelação entre espaços de trabalho e de aprendizagem, chegando ao conceito de espaços multirreferenciais de aprendizagem. Argui que a instituição / reconhecimento destes espaços para a (in)formação do cidadão-trabalhador, tanto no âmbito escolar quanto de outras esferas da vida social, é uma alternativa comprometida com a construção da cidadania, numa perspectiva solidária, visando à superação de profundos fossos de discriminação e exclusão. <br> <br> <B>Palavras-chave</B>: tecnologias da informação e comunicação – (in)formação do cidadão trabalhador – espaços multirreferenciais de aprendizagem. <br> <br> <br> <B>Abstract</B>: This paper seeks to analyze - from an epistemological multireferential perspective - transformations related to the process of globalization and how they are reflected in the. relationships between economic and political change and re- negotiation, work relations and processes, and the (in)formation of the worker. It deals with theoretical referents that interpret contemporary society from the standpoint of cognitive-reflexive and aesthetic-hermeneutic perspectives and the relationships between (in)formative processes and conceptions of society.

Resumo O conceito de inclusão digital, presente no campo científico, e aplicado socialmente, tem gerado estudos que trabalham a questão ora como combate à desigualdade social na compreensão dos mecanismos distanciadores entre ricos e pobres, ora como instrumento econômico baseado no conhecimento e avanço tecnológico.  Esta reflexão torna-se relevante, uma vez que os avanços tecnológicos têm impulsionado transformações na economia política local e global e em nova ordem mundial de consumo frenético e sem questionamento.  A inclusão digital, no escopo deste trabalho, é comparada metaforicamente a um sistema de engrenagens. As peças que se acoplam para o funcionamento de um sistema são, neste contexto, aqui tratadas como políticas de informação inseridas nas ações públicas. Essas ações interligam-se com as ferramentas de tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs) que, por sua vez, se conectam com os atores sociais que, por motivos diversos, encontram-se excluídos de oportunidades, bens e perspectivas.Palavras-chave inclusão digital; economia política; política de informaçãoAbstract The notion of digital inclusion, present in the scientific field as well as in social life, a way in field scientific, how much in the practical life, it has generated studies on the question however as combat the battling social inequality in the comprehension of mechanisms of differentiation between rich and poor, to understand the different mechanisms between rich and poor, however and served as an economic instrument based on the knowledge and technological advance progress. The results are relevant insofar as accomplishment of this reflection is excellent, a time that the technological advancement have has stimulated transformations in the local and global political economy and in the new world order: frantic and unquestioned consumption and without questioning. The digital inclusion is here compared to a system of gears. These parts that if they interconnect for the functioning of a system are seen here in this context here treat, as information policies inserted of in the criminal public actions. These actions establish a connection with the tools of information and communication technologies (TICs) that in their turn it is are connected with the social actors, who, for diverse reasons, find themselves excluded from of chances opportunities, goods and hopes for the future visions.Keywords digital inclusion; political economy; informational policies

Technology is present in every moment of our lives and has become a part of our lives. Developments in information and communication technologies affect and facilitate social life and business life day by day. Although the positive aspects of technological developments are generally mentioned, it also brings many negativities. One of these downsides is cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can be expressed as behaviors that hurt, humiliate, disturb, frighten, exclude, and cause victimization by using information and communication technologies of the individual. These behaviors can cause an individual's job and life satisfaction to decrease anxiety, sadness, tension, and loss of motivation. In this case, it becomes difficult for the individual to be effective and efficient in his/her business and social life. For this, it is useful to combat cyberbullying, and it is important to develop combat strategies for it. Otherwise, cyberbullying cannot be prevented. With the precautions, most cyberbullying can be prevented before it happens.

Chapter 8 summarizes the key findings and the theoretical framework of the book. The use of mobile telephony has influenced social life, economy, and politics in the village as a part of many ongoing changes: the decline of agriculture, increased contact between the rural and urban worlds, new aspirations, and changes in caste and gender relationships. The chapter summarizes the theoretical contribution of the book: the role of mobile telephony for social change can be best understood by relating mobile phone–mediated conversations with other speech contexts. Furthermore, this chapter assesses the role of mobile telephony in development by engaging with the anthropology of development. Detailed attention to information and communication technologies’ multiple uses and influences can help create development interventions and policies that account for the multiplicity of actors and ongoing social processes.

The article shows that the modern development of information and communication technologies, has opened wide opportunities for self-realization of the person and liberalization of social life, and therefore it is often considered as a completely positive phenomenon, with its development contributing to the growth of the human well-being level. These seemingly positive developments are accompanied by a number of threatening trends, where the organized amnesia is at the forefront. It manifests itself in blurring the line between remembering and forgetting due to media pressure. They are oriented toward creating collective ideas related to the processes of production and consumption. Large flows of tightly controlled and insignificant information for the development of society, forces out the socially significant collective memories into "waste" against the backdrop of programmed life. However, it is this that leads to the fact that a person is forced to live in unchanged and commonplace today, which, as shown in the work, significantly complicates individual and collective identification, condemning a person to loneliness even in society.
