The article analyzes the opinion of the expert community on a number of problems concerning the ethnocultural development and language policy in Chuvashia. The survey was conducted in 15 regions of the country using the tools developed at the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology under the Russian Academy of Sciences. In autumn 2020, 30 experts expressed their opinion, they represented equally the sphere of state and municipal administration, science, higher education, the media, as well as national cultural associations and other public organizations. Much attention of the experts was directed to the ways and methods of implementing the amendments to the Constitution of Russia in Chuvashia adopted in 2020, including by expanding the opportunities of regional legislation in the field of ethno-cultural development. Different points of view are expressed on such subjects as the legislative strengthening of the Chuvash language in the public space, the decision to switch to voluntary study of native languages in educational institutions, the possibility of state and public support for native languages of various peoples, etc. The attitude to such innovations was determined during the All-Russian Population Census as the ability of citizens to name themselves as representatives of more than one nationality and to name not one native language but more, to determine the extent of using other languages in everyday life other than Russian. The opinion of experts on the place and role of national cultural associations in the work on the ethno-cultural direction was studied. On a number of issues, experts expressed an integrated opinion, including supporting the cultural needs of the old-time and newly arriving population, on the need to consider native languages as belonging to traditional family values, on the possibility of identifying the level of language use in everyday life during the population census, etc. At the same time, quite opposite opinions were expressed on a number of issues. For example, this is in reference to the possibility to consider oneself a person belonging not to one, but, for example, to two ethnic identities during the population census, about the activity of national and cultural associations when discussing the amendments to the Constitution of Russia, etc.

В рамках парадигмы идентичности показано отношение регионального экспертного сообщества к родным языкам как основной семейной ценности. Вопросы, связанные с ролью и значением русского языка как языка государствоообразующего народа, и родными языками, отражающими культурное многообразие страны, рассматриваются в контексте принятых поправок в Конституцию РФ и предстоящей в 2021 году Всероссийской переписи населения.

A comparative analysis of the media discourse, which reflects public opinion on the problems of the state languages of the republics of Southern Siberia — Khakass, Tuvan and Altai — in the regional communicative space, reveales the commonality and differences in the activity, focus and emotional intensity of the discussions. The following main lines of argumentation are presented in the media discourse of the three republics: a) protection of linguistic rights and social justice; b) the inseparability of the connection between ethnicity and language; c) pragmatism; d) search for those guilty. The dichotomy of the designation of the responsibility for the language shift and the level of adequacy of the language policy — native speakers / government authorities — is revealed, which is accompanied with emotional and aggressively ignorant discursive practices. The correlation of regional features of media discourse with the level of vitality of the state languages can be found: the stronger the position of the language, the stronger and more organized is its public support, affecting the constructiveness of dialogue with the authorities. The recognition of the presence of vitality threats, despite of the state status, is common in the media discourse of the republics of Southern Siberia.

The article indicates the ethnolinguistic characteristics of the people of the Udmurt Republic based on the censuses information. It is known that in countries with a multi-ethnic composition of the population, language problems remain one of the most delicate and painful. In the Udmurt Republic, issues related to language policy, preservation and development of the Udmurt language, and the teaching of native languages in educational institutions hold relevance in academic literature and the media, and are discussed at scientific events, in government bodies, and national-cultural organizations. Meanwhile, in the post-Soviet period, censuses are the only source that can reliably determine the number of speakers of different languages. According to the author, due to a number of reasons, inaccuracies were made when collecting information on the linguistic characteristics of Russian citizens during the 2010 census. Therefore, in anticipation of the All-Russian Population Census 2020, it is necessary to analyze once again the experience of conducting and the results of past censuses in order to collect high-quality, reliable ethnolinguistic information. In our opinion, the experience of the 2015 micro-census is especially useful when new questionnaires and methods for collecting information have been tested. The author believes that part of the “ethnic and linguistic problems” can be resolved by giving citizens the right to indicate complex (dual) ethnicity and two native languages during the census.

In recent years, civil drones have become increasingly present in the media and in everyday life. There has been a high level of interest in drone delivery from the very beginning, yet public acceptance of drone delivery still seems limited, with acceptance rates usually ranging from 30 to 40%. The present paper reports findings of a representative national study about the acceptance of civilian drones in Germany. Several factors limiting public support of drone delivery are identified, such as concerns about traffic safety, noise, and animal welfare. In addition, gender effects are discussed, showing female respondents to be more critical about drone delivery in general. Moreover, an effect of NIMBYism is confirmed in the context of drone delivery: Even residents who envision using drones for delivering their own parcels frequently state that they would not agree to flights over their own homes. This particular effect is termed ‘NOMOH’ (‘Not Over My Own Home’).

Specific Implementation

The Zimbabwe government introduced a new language policy in education to change the colonial language policy seven years after attaining independence. So much was expected from the postcolonial language.  The use of English as the media of instruction during the colonial era was problematic. It denied Africans to describe the world in their languages. Native languages were marginalized and neglected. Africans were robbed of their self-worth and identity. It is against this background that the Zimbabwean government African states after attaining independence and sovereignty pursued an agenda of linguistic decolonization. This paper evaluates the implementation of Zimbabwe's language policy after it gained independence from Britain in 1980. We argue that despite the claim by the Zimbabwe government that it is a revolutionary government which would completely overhaul all colonial structures, institutions, and policies, the implementation of the language policy is a continuity, rather a radical change. Colonial language policy fundamentals are intact and present in the current language policy. English is still the dominant language of instruction. Indigenous languages are considered inferior and on the verge of extinction. The policy failed where it matters most—decolonizing the mind. Zimbabwe needs a sound language policy in education to shake off vestiges of a colonial legacy, and allow children to go to school in their languages to achieve the overall goal of education for all. The language policy must be developed through a broad-based consultative process with specific implementation strategies and commitment by government and non-governmental agencies for funding its implementation.

The state policy of health preservation of Russians and the process of introducing a healthy lifestyle into their everyday life is hampered by the lack of sufficient self-activity and purposefulness of the individual ecological and valeological behavior of representatives of various population groups. According to the authors of the article, one of the important indicators of the maturity of professional and labor competencies of school and student youth is their readiness and desire for permanent self-preserving behavior. “With numbers in hand,” the authors show the scale of deviant deviations and the phenomena of spontaneous irresponsibility in the educational and leisure activities of students, hindering the preservation and development of physical culture, the accumulation and effective use of their psychophysiological and labor potential. The conclusions of the proposal of the authors of the article are based on the results of a number of sociological surveys conducted in 2000-2020. at the Institute of Economics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in a number of secondary schools and universities of the Ural and Volga Federal Districts.

As is described in this conclusion, more than the media and culture, Madrid’s public space constituted the primary arena where reactions and attitudes toward social conflict and inequalities were negotiated. Social conflict in the public space found expression through musical performance, as well as through the rise of noise that came with the expansion and modernization of the city. Through their impact on public health and morality, noise and unwelcomed musical practices contributed to the refinement of Madrid’s city code and the modernization of society. The interference of vested political interests, however, made the refining of legislation in these areas particularly difficult. Analysis of three musical practices, namely, flamenco, organilleros, and workhouse bands, has shown how difficult it was to adopt consistent policies and approaches to tackling the forms of social conflict that were associated with musical performance.
