The article considers violence in its symbolic form as a product of modern consumption and one of the attributes of mass culture. Despite the extreme urgency of the problem of violence in film and television, researchers in the field of psychology, sociology and pedagogy analyze this phenomenon by the impact of scenes of violence on various categories of the population, highlighting the possible relationship between violence on the screen and in life. This study focuses on the socio-philosophical analysis of violence consumption by modern people. The article considers various approaches to the study of consumption, as well as analyzes the symbolic essence of this phenomenon. How is the society of consumption associated with violence? What is the peculiarity of violence as a consumer product? Consideration of screen violence allows us to identify the main reasons underlying the demonstration of scenes of cruelty in films and on television. According to the famous American director Quentin Tarantino, violence is one of the cinematic techniques. If demand creates supply, what is the reason for the audience’s interest in acts of aggression on the screen? Forming of the information society is associated with the emergence of new technologies of violence included in the system of “producer-consumer” relations, through advertising. Violence is being democratized: it is now available not only to corporations and states. Each person can create their own reality according to their needs and ethical standards. In-depth consideration of these issues will allow us to look at violence as an element included in the system of symbolic consumption of the modern world.

Modern processes of civilizational development, directed towards the formation of an information society, make knowledge an increasingly important and the most valuable product, and access to information is the basic condition for the development of all sectors of economy. In this article, I make an attempt to determine the impact of industry on the complex process of shaping of an information society. The aim was to determine the relations between the industry and the information society, and their surroundings. An important element in the formation of an information society and the development of knowledge-based economy is a high level of education at all stages, and the competences: to be able to apply the acquired knowledge, to formulate new ideas and to introduce them in the production and service industry. New technologies trigger modernization and encourage new products, which in turn contributes to quality changes in the society, and to raising the society’s culture.

Abstract Emerging and disruptive technologies have mostly beneficial effects, determining the progress of society and rising the standard of living. Their integration in the subsequent strategies in the fields of economy, financial, energy, defence and security, information etc. can generate positive effects for the society as a whole. On the other hand, the malicious use of new technologies will amplify the risks and threats that a technological advanced state can project on other states or an alliance. As a result, new technologies bring human development opportunities as well as challenges and security risks. Therefore, the role of the state becomes essential not only from the perspective of supporting technological innovation, but also from that of managing security risks arising from emerging areas. With regard to Romania, our country is aware of the importance of developing emerging and disruptive technologies in all domains of social life, in particular in the sectors of economy and security and defence. To address the malicious use of emerging and disruptive technologies, Romania aims at adopting complex measures based on an inter-institutional approach to enhance national resilience in domains that new technologies can affect the human activity.

RESUMO: A partir da sociedade pós-industrial, houve o delineamento de um novo paradigma social advindo da Sociedade da Informação, identificado especialmente pelas novas tecnologias e pelo impacto que a informação suscitou nos mais variados meios sociais. Nesse passo, quais seriam as relações existentes entre a Sociedade da Informação e o desenvolvimento da linguagem? Esse problema conduz a pesquisa, que buscará inicialmente contextualizar a sociedade da informação, para, em seguida, associá-la com os elementos da linguagem. Posteriormente, será analisado o relativismo linguístico e a ideia trabalhada por George Orwell em seu livro “1984”. Em seguida, fala-se sobre a Sociedade da Informação, novas tecnologias e o advento de novas palavras e sentidos. Para tanto, utiliza-se o método de abordagem dedutivo. O método de procedimento será o monográfico. Quanto à técnica, utiliza-se a documentação indireta (pesquisa bibliográfica). Ao final, o estudo permitiu indicar que existe uma relação direta e indissociável entre a Sociedade da Informação e o desenvolvimento da linguagem, especialmente pelas integrações globais das novas tecnologias. Além disso, a adoção de novos símbolos linguísticos é necessária para acompanhar a velocidade da tecnologia e da informação, diante da expansão de novas palavras e novos sentidos. Com isso, constatou-se que a Sociedade da Informação se constitui em um vasto campo para o desenvolvimento, marcado pela mobilidade linguística e pelos novos horizontes de palavras e sentidos.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: sociedade da informação; linguagem; novas tecnologias; construção de palavras e sentidos.   ABSTRACT: After the post-industrial society, there was the design of a new social paradigm arising from the Society of Information, especially identified by new technologies and the impact that the information raised in various social media. In this step, which would be the relationship between the information society and the development of language? This problem leads to research that will initially seek to contextualize the society of information, to then associate it with the language elements. After, the linguistic relativism will be analyzed, as the idea worked by George Orwell in his book "1984". Then, it talks about the Society of Information, new technologies and the advent of new words and meanings. For this, it uses the deductive method of approach. The method of procedure will be the monographic one. As for the technique, the indirect documentation (literature) will be used. Finally, the study concluded that there is a direct and inseparable link between the Information Society and the development of language, especially the global integration of new technologies. Moreover, the adoption of new linguistic symbols is necessary to monitor the speed of technology and information, given the expansion of new words and new meanings. In addition, it was found that the Information Society constitutes a vast field for the development, marked by the linguistic mobility and new horizons of words and meanings.   KEYWORDS: society of Information; language; new technologies; construction of words and meanings.

The purpose of the work is to investigate the formation of information culture as a defining characteristic of modern communicative practices and socio-cultural existence of man in the digital environment. The research methodology consists in the application of analytical, semiotic, systemic, culturological methods in the study of information as a fundamental factor in the formation of information culture and in general the digital environment of the information society. Information is a subsystem capable of transforming all spheres of society, while forming the needs and skills in obtaining, processing and transmitting information. Oversaturation and rapid circulation of information encourages the introduction of the concept of information culture, which can become a cognitive filter in the selection of information. The scientific novelty of the work is to expand information on the impact of information on the deepening of socio-cultural competencies, the level of socialization and education of the individual due to the information factor, as well as the ability to resist the negative effects of information on society in various forms. Information culture should become the core of the modern digital environment not only as an indicator of literacy and competence, but also as a general worldview vector that can influence the explanation of reality, commenting on current events, promoting important norms and values. Conclusions. In recent decades, information culture has become increasingly relevant as a phenomenon generated by the information society, mediated by Internet communication and modern communication practices in general. The development of modern digital information space generates a huge amount of information that is transmitted from person to person, but, at the same time, grows into a social phenomenon that shapes the thinking, behavior and actions of communities. The information culture of society becomes tangential and affects various spheres of life, which can no longer be understood and defined outside the information context, while serving as an effective factor in human perception of the surrounding reality, the world at large. Information culture is directly related to the social nature of the individual, due to the relevant values ​​and worldviews. Modern information culture is inextricably linked with technological progress and means of communication, which are the determining factors of social development that can influence the way of social life and worldview. Thus, the formation of information culture of society becomes an important and continuous process, mediated by the influence of information of human existence. Key words: information, information culture, communicative practices, communication, digitalization, information society.

Having traced the criminalization process for minors, it can be argued that more and more violent offenses have the extreme form of cruelty. It is proved that the most stable and significant part of violent crimes include deliberate murder, deliberate infliction of grave and moderate injury to health, robberies, forced robberies, forced rape, hooliganism, beatings, torture, etc. Such criminal acts constituting the criminological significant group are distinguished, primarily by such criteria as the method of action of an offender, the form of guilt and the object of the attack. The structure of juvenile delinquency is characterized mostly by mercenary, mercenary-violent and violent types of crimes. The crimes committed by young people are more impudent and aggressive compared to general crime. The number of crimes committed on the basis of drug addiction and alcoholism is especially increasing. It is stated that juvenile delinquency is usually of a group nature. It is established that the investigation of the causes of the crimes will not be complete without studying the causes and conditions of the personality of the offender. After all, the causes of the commission of crimes that directly induce or push a person to choose the wrongful conduct in a particular situation, are, so to speak, subjective, that is, inseparably linked with the subject of the crime. The main determinants of the formation of the identity of a juvenile offender who commit crimes with particular cruelty include: the negative impact of the family as a potential factor in the formation of the personality of a juvenile offender; child homelessness and neglect; unorganized leisure; alcoholization and narcosis of children's environment; manifestations of bullying among minors, etc. It is proved that the mechanism of influence of factors on crime is rather complex and, therefore, the influence of each of them can only be arbitrary, since the positive or negative impact of any aspect of social life depends on a specific combination of factors. The impact of criminogenic factors, and sometimes their consequences, lmanifests in the fact that they objectively contribute to crime.

Formulation of the problem. Formulation of the problem. In the context of an increased level of uncertainty and variability of the organizational and economic environment, the significance and influence of various kinds of pathologies of a social nature (for example, the COVID-19 pandemic, all kinds of color revolutions, etc.), which have significant negative consequences for the functioning of society and its most important structures, has increased. The purpose of the article is to characterize the set of socio-economic factors in Uzbekistan in the context of pathological challenges and digitalization. The object of the research is the socio-economic processes of the development of the economy of Uzbekistan in the context of pathological challenges and digitalization. The methods used in the research are logical, comparative, analytical, scientific and methodological. The research hypothesis is based on the assumption that there is a dependence of the cost of restoring the ecological balance on the volume of national non-financial production assets. Presentation of the main material. The use of the latest achievements of scientific and technological progress, such as comprehensive digitalization and modeling of the most important factors and trends of social development, can resist the impact of modern negative challenges. The article analyzes and simulates some of the most important parameters of the functioning of the Uzbek economy, the results of which can be used in developing a strategy of actions in priority areas of development of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The originality and practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the author substantiates the relationship between the diseases of a modern person and unfavorable environmental conditions arising from his own fault. Conclusions of the study. Thus, as a result of the studies, it became obvious that the factors of social development and the socio-economic trends arising as a result of their action can be divided into two large groups: the first should include factors and trends of a negative nature associated with the action of all kinds of social pathologies; the second group, on the contrary, includes positive factors and trends, primarily associated with the progressive influence of scientific and technological progress, including with such an important modern direction as the all-round digitalization of society.
