Communication Culture

The article analyzed the peculiarities of the interpretation of the «communication culture» in the context of scientific researches of the past and contemporary domestic researchers. An analysis was carried out to define the concept of «communication culture of a person», the approaches to the definition of this concept are singled out. The positions of scientists concerning the role of eloquence in the formation of the linguistic personality are analyzed, the language is analyzed as a «social and psychological phenomenon», historical conditions of the formation of the concept of «communication culture» are characterized, in particular, attention is focused on the formation of the linguistic personality. It was found out that studies of the ancient traditions of the formation of the language of culture make it possible to better understand modern trends in the development of the person's communication culture. Modern studies have shown that in linguistics for a long time there was no unity in the interpretation of the concepts of «language» and «communication». Problems of the formation of the culture of broadcasting have become the object of research by eminent thinkers, beginning with the period of Antiquity. The question of the formation of a culture of speech has long traditions. Note that in European linguistics, the first decades of the twentieth century. Theoretical study and approval of the concept of «culture of language» in the scientific circulation is underway. It should be noted that in connection with the introduction of information and communication technologies in all spheres of society life has increased interest in the theory and practice of eloquence. This is explained by the fact that the active use of information and communication technologies involves the search for ways of speaking influence, both on the interpersonal and on the public level. According to authoritative experts in rhetoric, L. Matsko, O. Matsko, N. Mykhailychenko, V. Poltupets, etc., there are also communicative reasons that ensure the actual and further development of the theory and practice of oratory in the XX-beginning of the XXI century.

Introduction: in the social conditions that are changing under the influence of information and communication technologies, it is of particular importance to protect the interests of consumers from illegal actions of unscrupulous market participants. Increasingly, astroturfing technologies are becoming an integral part of marketing and trading strategies, which make it possible to provide distorted data to the general public under the guise of objective information. The purpose of the study is to find an adequate definition of astroturfing on a point of law; to distinguish legitimate marketing practices from illegal acts that distort perceptions of a product or company; to identify the law enforcement practices in foreign countries; to evaluate the existing approaches to solving the problem in order to correct the Russian legislation. The paper uses the methods of description and interpretation; normative-value, system, logical, dialectical, structural-functional approaches. Results: the forms and features of astroturfing are considered in order to develop its definition; the ways to counteract such technologies are studied and compared; there is a need for amendments that could fill the gaps in the legal regulation of astroturfing. Conclusions: the term “astroturfing” is formulated and its possible forms are listed. It is proposed to investigate the possibility of recognizing contractual relationships, whose subject is online publishing of fabricated reviews, cheating likes, bot mailing via chats, etc. as anti-social transactions. It is considered appropriate to tighten responsibility for the use of astroturfing technologies.

This article discusses the main characteristics of cybercrime as a new criminal threat to modern society. The authors attempted to explain the appearance of a new type of crime in the period of development and implementation of high technologies in all spheres of life of the world community. Using the dialectical method of cognition, as well as formal logical methods, steps in order to develop the conceptual apparatus of the investigated phenomenon of cybercrime were taken. Such terms as ‘cyberspace’ and ‘cybersecurity’ acquired the authors' explanations. According to the authors, criminality in cyberspace has been one of the most difficult problems of the international community in recent years due to the development of information and communication technologies. The article analyzes the phenomenological aspects of criminality in global information networks, discusses the definition of ‘cybercrime’, and considers the current trends in its development. Revealing the essence of the investigated type of crime, the authors analyzed the content and marked the differences of cybercrime from Internet crime, computer crime, crime in the information sphere, etc. The authors analyzed the modern normative, scientific and expert approaches to the study of the structure and state of cybercrime in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The results of the study and the conclusions of this article can be used as a theoretical contribution to the enrichment and expansion of scientific vision of cybercrime at the formation of approaches and the system of existing views, forming the concept of criminological security, and can also serve to further development of scientific ideas in the sphere of criminal law and criminological provision of prevention of cybercrime.

This chapter links long-standing normative, conceptual, and empirical issues regarding the theory and practice of citizen engagement to recent research developments. It first unpacks the definition of “democratic engagement” and its presumed requisites and attributes. Next the chapter explores the role of communication in the formation of these requisites and attributes, as well as their expression. It then turns to the question “What do we know?,” arguing that for a variety of reasons, the answer is a complicated and ultimately a disappointing one. Finally, the chapter discusses how developments in information and communication technologies are changing both the process of political engagement and the ways we study it, as exemplified by the chapters in this section.

Communication For Development

This book examines the history of the role of communication as a tool for bringing development and social change. Drawing on the author's own experience accumulated over the past almost fifty years of professional interest in communication for development (c4d), the book investigates how both theory and practice evolved along with the technologies. In particular, it considers what is done for and to people by large outside institutions that provide funding and what people find to do for themselves. It also evaluates where we are today in the long-term struggle to bring development and social change through information and communication technologies (ICTs) as well as interpersonal communication. Furthermore, it discusses four paradigms that have arisen in the social change and development arena over the past two decades: modernization-diffusion paradigm, critical or dependency paradigm, participation paradigm, and social entrepreneurship. The book concludes by tackling the question about how the c4d field might improve.

Great Damage

The model of a modern society is a „digital society” based on the widespread use of information and communication technologies. Information is of utmost importance. However, „unprocessed“, „unprepared“ information is not valuable, but quite the opposite – it causes great damage economic, technical, psychological, political and others). First of all, this concerns young people, who are exposed to the influence of „harmful factors“ (information messages, appeals) more than other categories of the population.
