Television is an important part of our daily life. TV has become «one of the family» and we cannot imagine our homes without one, two or even several TV sets. This situation of privilege in our families may turn into a double-edged sword: depending on the use given it may determine the people development and even manipulate the youngest ones if it is not used correctly. Making all the viewers –and especially the most vulnerable ones, the children- aware of the need for the use of TV from a critical and responsible point of view is a common task for all of us, family, school and society. And the fact is that we cannot only use the media passively, but in a dynamic and active way. La televisión forma parte de nuestra vida diaria. Se ha convertido con el tiempo en «uno más de la familia» y no concebimos nuestros hogares sin una, dos o incluso varios aparatos de televisión. Esta situación de privilegio en nuestras familias puede llegar a convertirse en un arma de doble filo: dependiendo del uso que se le dé puede condicionar el desarrollo de las personas, pudiendo manipular los más pequeños si no se emplea de un modo correcto. Es tarea de todos -familia, escuela y sociedad en general- colaborar para poder concienciar sobre el uso de la televisión de una manera crítica y responsable a todos los espectadores y en especial al colectivo más vulnerables, los niños. Y es que no podemos limitarnos a utilizar este medio de comunicación de una manera pasiva, sino de manera dinámica y activa.

<p>The nature is real teacher for a person who wish to develop their intelligence. Intelli­gence is a natural quality of live. The universe intelligence are hidden everywhere, and if we have eyes to see, we can see it everywhere. We can learn from animals on how they sleep, they live and their interaction each others. Most people in every traditional culture learn based on their beliefs rather than their reason (Suryadarma, 2012). There are many different ways to look the uniqueness of biodiversity and the interrelationship between humans and their social and biophysical surroundings. <br />People in the past; i.e. hunting and gathering communities were heavily depended on their immediate natural resources to meet most of their basic needs. Therefore, they closely interacted with their environment and thereby, gained a sound knowledge and understand­ing the uniqueness of each species and its underlying ecological processes. Many events in daily life is interesting, in the sense that many phenomena and objects can be directly ob­served. The richness of biological pehenomena in the ecosystems can be directly observed. Some phenomena had recorded as a proverbs, analogy and song. <br />Balinese use the uniqueness of biodiversity resources and ecological phenomena in their daily life to find analogy, proverb and song to reflect their life. Yesudian (1989) declared; that man is the culminating point of the creation but in the man alone are animal, human and divine qualities alive and active together. Which aspects of our nature are to manifest? To manifest the humanity is the purpose of our earthly life (Suryadarma, 2010). This is the rea­son why the Balinese use proverbs, analogy, and song as part of learning process. Learning is processes of our escalation where it processes e.g. it can be analogized with the process of transformation on butterfly life cycle <br />Tsunami is a large ocean waves that washes everything in the shallow water of a shore­line where globalization can be analogized with tsunami process in which the world increas­ingly their activities. Globalization is the fact where the people have been two ways in look­ing at it impact on their life activities. It is the reason why each person use different ways looking of proverbs, analogy in our cultural activities. How develop its in deferent level and different site into better science for better life? How to explore and develop it as sources of biodiversity documentation information because these activities will be developed the fra­grance of ecological wisdom and enter in every one heart.</p>

Fashion and technology have been deeply connected in Central Asia since the dawn of time. Every piece of clothing was the result of applying technology to materials found in nature, based on an idea that originated in someone's mind. Clothing held a mystical purpose as well as a utilitarian one, protecting the owner from all kinds of danger. What people wore signified who they were as individuals situated in the family and the cosmos. Changes in fashion went hand-in-hand with technological change as the inspiration for and outcome of new ideas. This is why one can predict with confidence that forms of high technology now emerging will be assimilated quickly by the local fashion industry. This signals a bright future for high tech fashion in Kazakhstan, where significant changes are already well underway. As the emerging fashion industry advances on its current trajectory of development, it will continue to express the beliefs, expectations, hopes and dreams of the people of Kazakhstan in a synthesis of elements from the past, present and future.

Routines and meaningful rituals play an important role in the family dynamic system. During the past 30 years, migratory flow into Italy has been constantly increasing. Our aim was to explore the structure of daily life in order to understand and compare family functioning of migrant couples in Italy with the family functioning of couples who were born and bred in Italy. In our study there were 124 participants (31 Italian couples and 31 migrant couples) who completed modified versions of the Family Routine Inventory and the Family Ritual Questionnaire. Participants were contacted by teachers at kindergartens attended by the children of the couples. The results highlighted a significant difference between Italian and migrant couples in the symbolic-significance dimension of rituals. The particularity of this finding is its coexistence with the absence of significant differences in the more pragmatic aspects of rituals. The possible influence of the migration experience and practical implications are discussed.

Poverty drove Indonesian poor households (e.g. their family members) to find other livelihoods. One popular choice is becoming an international migrant. This paper describes and analyzes the change in agrarian structure which causes dynamics in agrarian poverty. The study uses qualitative approach and constructivism paradigm. Research results showed that even if migration was dominated by farmer households from lower social class; it also served as livelihood strategy for middle and upper social classes. Improved economics brought dynamics on social reality. The dynamic accesses to agrarian resources consist of (1) horizontal social mobility (means that they stay in their previous social class); (2) vertical social mobility in the form of social climbing; low to middle class, low to upper class, and middle class to upper class; and, (3) vertical social mobility in the form of social sinking: upper class to middle class, upper class to lower class, and middle class to lower class. The dynamic in social classes indicates the presence of agrarian poverty cycle, they are social climbing and sinking.

The article examines the positive psychological issues of the formation of national self-awareness and thinking through instilling in the younger generation, the preservation of the historically established high national and moral values of each nation. One of the main psychological factors in the formation of national self-awareness among each young generation is the awareness of the psychological past of people, which means that knowledge of what moral and psychological qualities they possess and how their people are progressing, which is widely reflected in the article. Because it is impossible to direct future development without knowing the ethnogenesis and ethnopsychological past of the people. Margaret Mead notes that the past of the older generation is the future of the younger generation. First of all, the role of the ethnocultural environment of the family in the formation of national identity is great. The main national values are born in the family, formed and instilled in children by parents in the process of action and communication. In the national consciousness of the younger generation, the family is considered sacred and exalted, perceived as an example of a small state. In the life of every family lives its spirit, spirituality, reflecting the identity of the people, serving the formation of national identity, passed down from generation to generation. Folklore samples, works of classics, historical monuments are of particular importance in obtaining information on the history of the psychological development of the people and play a key role in the formation of national identity and national self-awareness of the younger generation. The formation of national identity is the basis for the active generation and self-realization of the young generation, taking into account the acquisition of certain knowledge about the ethno psychological past of the people. The national consciousness of cognition of the psychological past of its people actively influences the further development of the young generation in terms of national self-development, national self-improvement. A young man who understands himself, feels his national identity with soul and blood, respects his people, is now in the spirit of national identity. But in the younger generation, national consciousness is not a connection with the past, but the preservation of the beauty of their people, propaganda and inspiration of the generation and the world, growing in accordance with the ideology of the time, and the elimination of people's shortcomings. The article emphasizes that the development of national self-awareness should not lead to national egoism, national individualism. Because where there is national egoism, there are outward features that arise exclusively from nationalist tendencies and are not characteristic of other nations and peoples, as well as for the nation itself, which leads to national conflicts between nations and peoples. Keywords: young generation, personality, national self-awareness, people, development.

Since God formed His people, He wants His people to have a life that is just to Him. Not only for them as parents, but also for children as the next generation of the nation. Teaching children from the time they are young is a must for the people of God. Teaching children is a command from God Himself. Through these verses God commands parents to give earnest instruction to their children. God's purpose in giving this commandment is for God to become a people who really have a real life before His people. Becoming a parent describes what was before. When the children entrusted by God begin to grow up, parents are faced with various personalities. Many parents raise their children without having a good understanding, thus causing the children not to get the correct directions. The book of Deuteronomy 6:1-19 provides a simple but biblical way of teaching children that parents can easily apply to their children, in every opportunity the family has. Few families before had deep understanding experienced many experiences in their children's lives. But in the past 20 years or so, many families have experienced these photos in their children's lives as parents learn to apply the teaching methods taught by the Bible.  AbstrakSejak Allah membentuk umatNya, Dia menginginkan umatNya tersebut memilki hidup yang berkenan kepadaNya. Tidak hanya bagi mereka sebagai orang tua, tetapi juga bagi anak-anak sebagai generasi penerus bangsa. Mengajar anak sejak mereka masih kecil merupakan keharusan bagi umat Allah tersebut. Mengajar anak adalah perintah dari Allah sendiri. Melalui ayat-ayat ini Allah memerintahkan kepada para orang tua agar memberikan pengajaran yang sungguh-sungguh kepada anak-anak mereka. Tujuan Allah memberikan perintah ini adalah agar umat Allah tersebut menjadi umat yang sungguh-sungguh memiliki kehidupan yang benar dihadapanNya. Menjadi orang tua tidaklah semudah apa yang dipi-kirkan sebelumnya. Ketika anak-anak yang dipercayakan oleh Tuhan mulai beranjak dewa-sa, beragam persolan yang dihadapi baik oleh orang tua. Banyak orang tua yang membe-sarkan anak-anaknya tanpa memiliki pemahaman yang baik, sehingga menyebabkan anak-anak tidak memperoleh arahan-arahan yang benar. Ulangan 6:1-19 memberikan cara meng-ajar anak yang sederhana tetapi Alkitabiah yang dengan mudah diterapkan oleh para orang tua kepada anak-anak, dalam setiap kesempatan  yang dimiliki oleh keluarga yang ada. Beberapa keluarga sebelum memiliki pemahaman ini banyak mengalami kekacauan dalam kehidupan anak-anak mereka. Tetapi dalam kurun waktu kurang lebih 20 tahun, banyak keluarga mengalami pembaharuan dalam kehidupan anak-anak oleh karena orang tua belajar untuk menerapkan cara mengajar yang dijarakan oleh Alkitab.
