The central issue discussed in this paper concerns the post-modern social development, which has made people – high-ranking officials, persons entrenched in the cultural establishment, intellectuals, and ordinary individuals without public notoriety alike – stew over every publicly uttered word under threat of total “cancellation”. Despite frequent attempts to interpret this phenomenon, now commonly referred to as the cancel culture, in the light of maintaining the hegemony of liberal thought or as a peculiar continuation of political correctness, I shall demonstrate herein that the key function of the cancel culture is the social embedment of disembedded individuals, as part of a global trend of tribalisation of society. This is the result of various processes which accompany the reflexive modernisation and bring about insecurity and distrust as the main characteristics of life in a risk society. Individuals are therefore forced to seek refuge in adopted hybrid patterns of sociability, the cancel culture being only one of them. These patterns arise as a consequence of convergence of pre-modern and post-modern patterns of sociability by means of digital technologies, which become their hybridisation agent.

ABSTRACTIn the context of the information society and knowledge, the social development of a urban community needs the empowerment of intellectual technologies by its members, in a process that goes beyond the access and use of this technologies. Empowerment means appropriating with a view to developing a collective consciousness. From this perspective, it is presented a Ph.D research in Information Science, whose field of study is the Community of Santa Clara, located in the city of João Pessoa, Brazil, where since 2011 are being implemented various actions support of information social development of their subjects, in order that they can become the protagonists of their own lives. The methodological assumptions are based on a qualitative approach, with the use of participatory research. The technique of the content analysis will be used to process the data collected during the events organized in the community. The research will be supported by means of intellectual digital technologies and an information operator will make the mediation in this process. Finally, it is expected that the actions of information and empowerment for community development, become actions of socialization for the subjects, so that they can move toward themselves as responsible not only for their own attitudes, but also by existence and living conditions of the community.RESUMONo contexto da sociedade da informação e do conhecimento, para que o desenvolvimento social de uma comunida-de urbana ocorra, entende-se como necessário o empoderamento das tecnologias intelectuais por parte dos seus integrantes, em um processo que vai além do acesso e uso dessas tecnologias. Empoderar-se significa apropriar-se visando o desenvol-vimento de uma consciência coletiva. Nessa perspectiva, apresenta-se pesquisa de doutorado em Ciência da Informação, que tem como campo de estudo a Comunidade Santa Clara, localizada na cidade de João Pessoa, Brasil, onde desde 2011 estão sendo implantadas diversas ações de informação em prol dos moradores, objetivando que os mesmos se tornem protagonis-tas de suas próprias vidas. Os pressupostos metodológicos têm como base a abordagem qualitativa, com uso da pesquisa participante e da técnica de análise de conteúdo para tratamento dos dados coletados durante os eventos promovidos na comunidade, tendo como suporte as tecnologias intelectuais digitais mediadas por um profissional da informação. Ao final, espera-se que as ações de informação e de empoderamento para o desenvolvimento comunitário se transformem em ações de socialização para esses sujeitos, de modo que possam caminhar em direção a se reconhecem como responsáveis por suas próprias atitudes e, também, pela existência e condições de vida da comunidade.

The article shows the place of digitalization in the natural transition from the industrial-market to the information-network economy. The authors clarify the structure of relations that determine the mechanism of interaction of technical and technological processes of digitalization and socio-economic relations, and note the complexity of the reflexive interaction of the technical, technological and socio-economic components of societal development. The objective foundations and modern features of the processes of dissemination of information, communication and digital technologies, manifested at the societal level, are revealed. The dualistic nature of digitalization development is revealed: the introduction of the latest technologies not only opens up additional opportunities for business, governments and people, but also generates significant problems, challenges and risks, forming the so-called "digital gap". It is emphasized that in the social dimension, the most characteristic of such gaps is the difference in opportunities for access to digital technologies, which potentially leads to unfair distribution of benefits and increased inequality in society. The main social risks caused by the processes of digitalization at the micro and macro levels are identified. The dynamics of digitalization processes and their impact on social development in a global and national context are comprehensively characterized. Shown various national management strategies, formulated as responses to the challenges of digital development and with a focus on minimizing the social risks associated with them. The modern approaches of the European Union to regulating the impact of digitalization on social development and employment are revealed, including those related to the adoption in 2010 of the Digital Agenda for Europe, the construction of the European Digital Single Market and the implementation of the European Gigabit Society Strategy until 2025. Proposed a few corrections in the mechanisms of Ukraine’s national policy regarding the anticipation and regulation of the social consequences of digitalization, in particular, in the context of the Strategy for the digital transformation of the social sphere of Ukraine presented in September 2020.

Purpose What does it mean to be social? In addition, how is that different from behaving socially appropriately? The purpose of this clinical focus article is to tackle these two questions along with taking a deeper look into how communication challenges in childhood apraxia of speech impact social competencies for young children. Through the lens of early social development and social competency, this clinical focus article will explore how speech motor challenges can impact social development and what happens when young learners miss early opportunities to grow socially. While not the primary focus, the clinical focus article will touch upon lingering issues for individuals diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech as they enter the school-aged years. Conclusion Finally, it will address some foundational aspects of intervention and offer ideas and suggestions for structuring therapy to address both speech and social goals.

Supervision practice in social work is understood as the mainstay of the profession. However, various studies have pointed to the inadequacies of supervision to facilitate quality service provision. Previous studies have reflected a general misalignment between the approach to supervision practice and the approach to social work practice as one inadequacy leading to the failure of supervision practice. Although there are numerous supervision models in the profession, some of which are aligned with certain practice approaches, none is directly identifiable with the social development approach, which should be at the core of social work orientation in South Africa. Thus, this article provides a process model of supervision in social work that aims to establish a dialectical relationship between supervision and the social development practice approach. The study was underpinned by Thomas’ research and design process, which was used to design and develop a social work supervision model mirroring a social development approach. The paper concludes with recommendations related to the use of the developed model.

This chapter presents an overview of the social development model (SDM)—a general theory of human behavior that integrates research on risk and protective factors into a coherent model. The goal of this synthesis is to provide more explanatory power than its component theories. This chapter first specifies the model constructs and their hypothesized relationships to prosocial and antisocial behaviors. It then provides a synthesis of what has been learned from empirical tests of social development hypotheses for predicting pro- and antisocial behaviors. This chapter also highlights interventions derived from the SDM and summarizes their impact on pro- and antisocial behaviors. Finally, the chapter concludes by presenting future directions for SDM-based research.

Antero Garcia and T. Philip Nichols explore how classrooms and schools must reframe their conceptions of technology from a focus on tools that serve specific purposes to a focus on platforms and their ecologies. In doing so, they argue, educational stakeholders should attend to three different dimensions of how technology is integrated in schools: the social uses of digital technologies, the design decisions that were made about these products, and the material resources that help make them operate. This approach requires educators to ask complicated questions about what technology does in schools and how to teach with and about it.
