We can rightly say that sport is the real source of multiculturalism, as it connects different people from different countries into a world community. Everybody finds enjoyment either in participating or in watching different sports events. Sport reduces stress and is especially important in lives of children because it enhances their self-confidence and keeps them healthy and fit. The language of sport is rich and encompasses different terms and expressions which are mainly internationally known and accepted without translation in almost all the countries of the world of today. The paper deals with different categories of words and their production, as well as with the specific idioms and phrases which appear in particular sports.

SLA is a broad multilateral realm of theoretical and applied projections. The discipline being topical for the world community, its coterminous issues are rather summarily thrown together, but actually spread out or split up of the field originally meant as a more concentrated and closely-knit nucleus. The research mainstream branches out into numerous aspects of language acquisition, most of which are ‘cross-sectional'. The heterology of research approaches hinders the progress towards the development of a well-balanced unified SLA theory relying on the basics inherent in science at large. A theory like that is aimed at the elimination of any ambiguity and confusion, so that anyone could similarly interpret it. Although the idea sounds like a utopian goal so far, a number of steps could be taken for SLA integrity to get closer and ultimately to transpire. A holistic theoretical model of SLA requires that its modules be represented on the basis of the same property, or radix. In the model developed, the radix is identified as a minimal predicative unit being formed. The unit takes shape in the process of predication, which can be referred to as the act of joining initially independent objects of thought expressed by self-determining words—predicate and argument—in order to convey any idea. Predication is a most important function of language cognition due to which the real and individualized worlds converge in the learner's mind. Hence, predication is not just a common fundamental of language, social intercourse, and individual inner thought activity but actually a medium creating the environment in which all three spheres mentioned function cohesively. The SLA Universal Invariant-Based Binary Predication Theory is identified in terms of its domain, content and procedural phenomena, principles, rules and regularities, binary opposition logic. and idealized object.

The increasing number of Muslims in Europe gave rise to a hijaber phenomenon that no longer fears to show a religious identity by using hijab. However, conditions that are still less support actually positioned these hijabers in situations that are less comfortable. Discriminatory treatment is still often they receive only because they are veiled, both from family and from the surrounding environment, especially the rejection received by the converts. This rejection of hijab is primarily due to the phenomenon of Islamophobia that infects almost all countries in the world, including in Europe. This paper aims to capture the discrimination and discriminatory treatment experienced by the hijabers in the Netherlands as well as the real effort they are undertaking to respond to this challenge, one of their efforts is to innovate models and creations of hijab, so that hijab is no longer the reason for the treatment Discriminatory against them.<br />---<br /><br />Meningkatnya jumlah pemeluk Islam di Eropa memunculkan fenomena hijaber yang tidak lagi merasa takut untuk menunjukkan identitas keberagamaan dengan menggunakan hijab. Namun, kondisi yang masih kurang mendukung justru memposisikan para hijaber ini dalam situasi yang kurang nyaman. Perlakuan yang diskriminatif masih sering mereka terima hanya karena mereka berhijab, baik dari keluarga maupun dari lingkungan sekitar, terutama penolakan yang diterima para muallaf. Penolakan terhadap hijab ini terutama disebabkan oleh fenomena islamopobia yang menjangkiti hampir seluruh negara di dunia, termasuk di Eropa. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memotret penolakan dan perlakuan diskriminatif yang dialami oleh para hijaber di Belanda serta usaha nyata yang mereka lakukan untuk menjawab tantangan ini, salah satu usaha yang mereka lakukan adalah dengan inovasi berbagai model dan kreasi hijab, sehingga hijab tidak lagi menjadi alasan atas perlakuan diskriminatif terhadap mereka.

Over a century ago, Ralph Waldo Emerson travelled to the Midwest to meet with a group of intellectual and political leaders, to discuss the organization of a rational world. After many days of debate on the subject of nationalism vs. internationalism, and the organization of a world community, it was decided that the future capital of the world should be in Constantinople. At this point, Emerson stalked from the- conference, with the comment: “Impossible. It's too far from Concordl”Today, as the distance from Constantinople to Concord has dwindled, our concept of the future and of ourselves has faded. The influence, self-confidence, and poise of the American intellectual has declined.

ABSTRAK Wabah covid -19 telah menjadi pandemic di hampir semua negara di dunia. Pandemi ini membuat para ilmuwan berpikir keras mencari penyebab adanya virus tersebut dan sekaligus berjuang hingga kini menemukan obat dan vaksin yang tepat. Pandemic ini telah menimbulkan kepanikan di masyarakat dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Karena kemunculan virus ini sangat berbahaya dan bisa mematikan serta penyebarannya yang cepat, membuat orang menyangka bahwa virus ini adalah semacam hukuman Tuhan atas manusia, bahkan ada juga yang bertanya apakah virus ini bagian dari tanda-tanda bahwa akhir zaman sudah tiba. Kepanikan ini membuat para pemimpin agama tidak mudah untuk menjawab pertanyaan dan menanggapi berbagai pernyataan yang liar. Karenanya penulis ikut bersumbangsih melihat covid 19 ini dalam perspektif eskatologi Paulus. Penulis akan menggunakan metode deskriptif untuk memberi gambaran mengenai covid ini dan memberi penjabaran secara teologis hasil dari penelusuran terhadap teks-teks tulisan Paulus mengenai akhir zaman, yang tentunya mengkaitkannya dengan peristiwa covid yang sedang melanda dunia. Tulisan ini akan memberi gambaran apakah memang Paulus juga memberi gambaran tentang akhir zaman yang ada kaitannya dengan penderitaan yang dialami manusia akibat penyakit dll. Atau sesungguhnya keberadaan covid hanyalah penyakit sampar biasa yang tidak berkaitan dengan akhir zaman. Karenanya melalui penelusuran dan penafsiran terhadap teks-teks yang berkaitan dengan akhir zaman, maka penulis akan menguraikan hubungan antara keberadaan covid ini dengan eskatologi menurut tulisan Paulus.   ABSTRACT _______________________________________________________________ The COVID-19 outbreak has become a pandemic in almost all countries in the world. This pandemic has made scientists think hard to find the cause of the virus and have struggled to find the right medicine and vaccine. This pandemic has caused panic in the world community, including Indonesia. Because the appearance of this virus is very dangerous and can be deadly as well as its rapid spread, people think that this virus has been activated by God on humans, some even ask whether this virus is part of the signs that the end of time has arrived. This panic makes it difficult for religious leaders to answer questions and statements that are liars. Therefore the authors share in seeing Covid 19 from the perspective of Paul's eschatology. The author will use a descriptive method to provide an overview of covid and provide a theological explanation of the results of tracing Paul's writings regarding the end of time, which of course relates it to the covid events that are hitting the world. This paper will give an idea of ??whether Paul also gave a picture of the end times which is related to human suffering due to disease etc. Or the existence of covid is just an ordinary pestilence that has nothing to do with the end times. Because of the investigation and interpretation of texts relating to the end of time, the author will describe the relationship between the existence of covid and eschatology according to Paul's writings.

Globalization, is not only offering something new about theconcept, but also the revolution. Globalization with its expectations,has the real effect in our lives as individuals, communities andcountries, as well as the world community. Global phenomenoncontinues with higher acceleration along with the development ofscience and technology. Ironically, this phenomenon occurs due to thechaos of inter-state relations, terrorism, and new model of colonialism.Regarding with the condition, religious teachings should not blame onthe conditions. Religion as a patron of morality should be able to faceon the globalization happening in the world. Religion should notbecome the victim of globalization itself. Religion should also be ableto direct the globalization that tends to be destructive intoenlightening.

Abstract Global expressivism is the radical view that we should never think of any of our language and thought as representing the world. While interesting, global expressivism has not yet been clearly formulated, and its defenders often use unexplained terms of art to characterise their view. I fix this problem by carefully and clearly exploring the different ways in which we can interpret globalism. I reject almost all of them either because they are implausible or because they are bad interpretations of actual globalist views. I then argue that the most promising version of globalism, which we can find in the work of Huw Price, turns out to be completely compatible with the view of so-called ‘local’ expressivists. The debate between globalists and localists is therefore empty: the real interest in this topic lies not in this debate but in whether globalism is true and if so what follows from it.

“There’s th’ internaytional coort, ye say, but I say where ar-re th’ polis? A coort’s all r-right enough, but no coort’s anny good onless it is backed up by a continted constabulary.”per Mr. Dooley, An International Police Force (1899).The world community is not on the brink of Armageddon because of a paucity of legal answers. Legal institutions exist. Moreover, any problem, without respect to the identity of the decision-maker, may be solved “legally”: by impartial assessment of the facts and formulation of a decision by reference to the parties’ commitments as well as to overriding community policies. Most frequently the real problem is not in arriving at an answer in law, but in enforcing an answer in law. In the final analysis, law is not only, as the Legal Eealists contend, what the courts say 2 but also what the sheriff does. Law comprises not only the verbal pronouncements of authoritative organs, but also the established patterns of behavior of the individuals composing society.

The article examines the on-growing role of international sports events as some newsbreaks which are actively used within the current political agenda. Several examples reveal the use of biased and fake information to form a negative image of Russia in front of the world community. The author indicates several trends of the coverage of international sports events as well as opportunities to improve the country's image through their implementation and the effective delivery of content.
