This chapter focuses on new technology and its impact on acting as an occupation. It begins by describing how the advent of film transformed patterns of employment in the commercial entertainment industry. Returning to the theme of cultural hierarchy, it goes on to argue that even as the legitimate theater drifted toward the periphery of the nation's cultural life, the old theatrical elite continued to claim the right, through the mechanism of the Actors' Equity Association (AEA), to speak for the entire acting community. After examining working conditions in the motion picture studios, it turns its attention to the Equity campaign to organize the film industry, asserting that its architects were less concerned with negotiating a standard contract than with imposing their authority upon the men and women of the silver screen. The chapter argues that an overwhelming majority of motion picture actors reacted with hostility to what they saw as the AEA's attempt to “Broadwayize” Hollywood, interpreting it as a threat to their collective autonomy and a denial of the specificity of their work. By refusing to obey the strike call in the summer of 1929, they were declaring their independence from the traditions of the legitimate stage.

This chapter discusses the right to avoid procreation and the regulation of pregnancy from a European perspective. The legal basis for a right to avoid procreation can be said to fall within the scope of several provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), an instrument that is binding for all European countries. Here, Article 12 of the ECHR gives men and women of marriageable age the right to marry and found a family in accordance with the national laws governing this right. However, Article 12 protects some elements of the right not to procreate, but for couples only. The lack of common European consensus in this area highlights how matters relating to the right to decide on the number and spacing of children touch on aspects that differ from country to country even in what could appear to be a homogenous region. In fact, the cultural, moral, and historical milieus that surround these rights differ considerably with diverse national perceptions of the role of the family, gender equality, religious and moral obligations, and so on.

The group discussion at March 30, 2018 covers a wide range of problems related to modern sexuality, social norms that regulate it, and the historical circumstances that influenced these norms. In the speeches of the participants, three generations of the sexual revolution in Russia are designated: the generation of the behavioral revolution, the generation of the discursive revolution and the generation of the gender revolution. It considers the Bolshevik gender reforms, expressed in the adoption of laws aimed at changing the role of women in the family and society and changing the basis of relations between men and women due to legislative consolidation of gender equality. The authors point out fundamental differences in the pace and nature of gender modernization in Western countries and in Russia, expressed in the fact that in the West, the consequences of the “sexual revolution” of 1968 significantly changed the behavior of both men and women, in the countries of the Soviet bloc only female roles have changed. It is noted, however, that although men show a growing interest in active fatherhood, women in the majority reserve the right to make all reproductive decisions on their own.

The Spread of the Western feminism movement in parts of the world including Indonesia has had a fairly risky impact on Indonesian society, especially among women. The influence of western feminism is the equalization of positions between men and women in all respects so that not women in Indonesia forget their nature as women both when they become daughters, wives, and mothers so that this often leads to conflict in the family that are contrary to Islamic teachings. This article aims to find the real concept of feminism in Islam. To obtain answers to these problems, the researchers used literature studies namely reviewing various scientific articles related to Western and Islamic feminism as well as reciting verses from the Quran related to equality of men and women. The result obtained from the study stated that the concept of feminism in Islam aims to make women knowledgeable and insightful and not narrow their space of movement. But not just standing alone without needing a partner or a man. Both are creatures of Allah who need each other and were created to perfect each other. In Islam, the nature of men and women is different and there is a nature that can only be done by men or women. Therefore, feminism in Islam only demands equality of rights such as the right to study, the right to work, and the right to a career, not demanding gender equality.

Islam has a view to put things in everything in a balanced position (tawazun). Islam also places men and women as human beings with the same position. However, there are still many who differentiate the position of men and women as creatures of God. One of these differences can be seen from the minimal contribution of a woman or Muslim woman in the field of education. In fact, education is very important because women are the future mothers of their children. After all, education starts from within the family and that is where the role of women as mothers is very significant. This study aims to reveal Abu Syuqqah's thoughts on Islamic acknowledgment of women's involvement in the field of education, which he produced through an effort to reinterpret religious authoritative texts related to women's activities during the prophetic period. This research is also expected to provide understanding and motivation about the balance of roles and contributions of men and women. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research methods. The data collection technique in this study was based on the main source of the book by Abu Syuqqah entitled Taḥrīr al-Mar'ah Fī 'Aṣr al-Risālah, supported by religious authoritative books and scientific journals relevant to the research theme. The results of the study indicate that the call of Islam regarding the obligation to seek knowledge to its adherents is universal, so that there is no legal distinction for both Muslims and Muslim women. Islam also holds that women have the right to get proper education and good teaching as Muslims get. Based on this, according to Abu Syuqqah, the status of women is not an obstacle for Muslim women to have a high spirit in seeking and developing knowledge. The form of women's involvement in education can be in the form of women as students who receive knowledge, or as female teachers who convey knowledge.

Allow me on behalf of thousands of Lebanese women married to non-Lebanese men to raise my voice high so that it reaches their Excellencies, Ministers and MPs… A woman says: “why does the Lebanese government grant a Lebanese man the right to pass his nationality to his children and wife, while it deprives a Lebanese woman from this right?” Where is the logic? Doesn’t this undermine blatantly her citizenship rights and the principle of equality? Doesn’t this undermine the rights of children, men, women, and the family combined?Isn’t this regarded as a violation of human rights and unfair discrimination between men and women? This shouldn’t be the case given that the Lebanese Constitution acknowledges the principle of equality among citizens as do all international agreements ratified by Lebanon, namely the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).

This paper deals with a comparative analysis of the legal position of women in the Serbian (1844, hereinafter SCC) and Italian (1865, hereinafter ICC) Civil Codes, considering the norms that regulate the position of women in marriage and those regarding inheritance. Confronting these two codes is relevant for various reasons. Firstly, it has not been done before in Serbian jurisprudence. Secondly, although based on different models (the Italian on the French Code, the Serbian on the Austrian Code, hereinafter ACC), each of them differs in some aspects from their model in the law of marriage and inheritance. Thirdly, it’s important from a historical aspect, because the Italian Kingdom had just been formed and the Serbians had relieved themselves of the centuries-long Turkish government, so there’s a similarity in the process of writing the codes. Although the writing styles of the codes are unalike, there are certain similarities in the provisions on marriage, the relationship between spouses, the relationship between spouses and children, and in terms of testamentary succession. For example, both codes give more rights to the husband (being the „head of the family”), and while the wife can write a will, she is not allowed to be a legal witness to another person’s will. There are several differences between the two codes, but most of them are negligible. For instance, both codes prescribe a parent’s permission for marriage, while the marriageable age that doesn’t require consent differs (i the ICC 25 years old for men and 21 for women, whereas in Serbia it’s 18 years old for both men and women). However, a few differences are relevant. The biggest one is the way in which intestate succession is regulated: the right to inherit is recognized to legitimate children regardless of gender in the Italian code, while in the Serbian code women are excluded from inheritance, which is one of the major differences between the SCC and ACC. In fact, when writing the code, Hadžić didn’t want this provision incorporated in the law, but it was added nevertheless. The second biggest difference between the ICC and the SCC consists in the fact that adultery is considered a reason for legal separation (and not divorce, because divorce was not allowed) in the ICC only if it is committed by the wife, while in the Serbian one the sex of the adulterer is not specified and can lead to divorce even if it’s done by the husband. Finally, the Serbian legislator also regulates the position of women in the „zadruga” (a type of joint family), in which women cannot be members, nor can they inherit, while that institute is not prescribed in the Italian one.

SYSTEMIC CAUSES OF THE APPEARANCE OF “COBRA EFFECT” IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

The article on the basis of extrapolation of system laws of management of social and economic development illustrates the system reason of the Cobra effect, that is, a situation where, despite the rather attractive goals that managers formulate, the result of the activities of subordinates is opposite to what was intended. The main problem of management is the development of a system of indicators, in which, working on the indicator, employees would change the state in the right direction. The reason for the Cobra effect is the manifestation of systemic patterns of socio-economic development. The main system regularity is the desire of the system for stability and self-preservation. This state of the system is achieved using the least energy-consuming way. It is shown that any worker, realizing system regularities, aspires to stability and self-preservation. Therefore, the employee is always forced to work for achieving the indicator. The article analyzes the manifestation of these laws at the level of enterprises and state. When managers understand these patterns explicitly or covertly, changes in the economic system are moving in the right direction. It is shown that the existing system of target indicators used as indicators to assess the effectiveness of management does not meet the goals and objectives of socio-economic development. At the meso- and macrolevel, absolute, volumetric indicators, such as gross national product and others, reduce the range of benefits to the population. The article defines the vector of change in the system of indicators for assessing the effectiveness of management at the regional and state levels, based on the fact that the key element is the family. At the same time, the targets should be indicators to assess the availability of benefits for households.

Values are like seeds that sprout, become saplings, grow into trees and spread their branches all around. To be able to think right, to feel the right kind of emotions and to act in the desirable manner are the prime phases of personality development.
