Summary: Reflecting on the role humans take into nowadays society, should be of interest in all our social reflections, even for those that refer to the field of law. Any human indifferent and unconscious of the social role that he ought to play within society, as a member of it, is an irresponsible human detached from everything that surrounds him, regarding matters and other humans. Trying to isolate in an irresponsible, passive and comfortable attitude, means, after all, denying oneself, denying our nature, as the social being every human is. This is the reflection that this academic work entitles, the one made from the point of view of the Italian philosopher Rodolfo Mondolfo. From a descriptive development, starting from this renowned author, I will develop ideas that will warn the importance that human protagonism have, in this human product so call society. From a descriptive development, from this well-known author, I will be prescribing ideas that will warn the importance of the protagonism that all human beings have, in that human product that we call society. I have used the descriptive method to approach the positions of the Italian humanist philosopher and, for my assessments, I have used the prescriptive method from an eminently critical and deductive procedural position. My goal is to demonstrate, from the humanist postulates of Rodolfo Mondolfo, the hypothesis about the leading, decision-making and determining role that the human being has within society. I understand, to have reached the demonstration of the aforementioned hypothesis, because, after the analyzed, there is no doubt, that the human being is not one more existence in the development of societies; its role is decisive in determining the human present and the future that will house the next societies and generations of our historical future.

Throughout its history, Artsakh had to guard against the external threats of Neo-Ottomanism. At the present time it is especially relevant. September 27, 2020 marks escalation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over the disputed enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh – which means Artsakh in Armenian. This led to six weeks of cease fire, humanitarian disaster, which killed many people and destroyed cultural and religious heritage of Artsakh. The mountainous region is surrounded by Azerbaijani land, although populated by Armenians. Due to the political novelty of this issue, the author employed analytical and descriptive method. The acquired results demonstrate that the history repeats itself in Neo-Ottomanism, which has been a threat to Artsakh and Armenia since its emergence until the present day. In recent years, the concept of reunification with Armenia, as well as the independence of Artsakh, outlined the prospects for the future. The third solution to the conflict became the ceasefire agreement of 9 November 2020, nobly negotiated by Russia to save Armenia from military collapse. However, this solution is more painful than the status-quo. The main conclusion consists in the statement that the international community should be more vigilant and prevent the expansion of such threats.

This chapter describes how constituencies of a four-year, private liberal arts and science college perceived the effect of philanthropy on the strategic planning process. Due to their reliance upon tuition revenues and private support, liberal arts and science colleges are particularly susceptible to ebbs and flows in the economy. How these institutions plan for the future and the extent to which philanthropy factors into strategic plans provides crucial information about the future of these higher education institutions (Connell, 2006). Gaining a deep understanding of how philanthropy shapes a strategic planning process and the decision-making model that was used during the process provides insight into how philanthropy, strategic planning, and decision-making models intersect to form a new decision-making model, described as feedback and revenue.

The close interdependence between corporate strategy and manpower planning in the formulation and implementation of strategic plans for a healthy, viable organization is discussed. Strategy is more than products, markets and finance - the crucial role of people is gaining increasing recognition. The key aspects of strategy formulation are discussed: corporate objectives and culture, analysis of internal strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the environment, identification of potential future strategies and matching these with the company, leading to the choice of a strategy. Manpower planning elements are vital in all these steps: identification of the organization's culture and objectives, preparation of a human capability inventory, and the provision of the human resources needed to implement the strategy chosen, as well as the key areas of organizational design, reward systems, management development and leadership.Die noue onderlinge afhanklikheid tussen ondernemingstrategie en mannekragbeplanning in die formulering en implementering van strategiese planne vir 'n gesonde, lewensvatbare organisasie word bespreek. Strategie is meer as produkte, markte en finansiering - die bepalende rol van mense geniet toenemende erkenning. Die sleutelaspekte van strategieformulering word bespreek: ondernemingsdoelwitte en -kultuur, ontleding van interne sterktes en swakhede, geleenthede en bedreigings in die omgewing, identifisering van potensiele toekomstige strategiee en die verenigbaarheid daarvan met die maatskappy, wat lei tot die keuse van 'n strategie. Elemente van mannekragbeplanning is krities in al hierdie stappe: identifisering van die organisasie se kultuur en doelwitte, voorbereiding van 'n inventaris van menslike bekwaamhede, en die verskaffing van die menslike hulpbronne wat nodig is om die gekose strategie te implementeer, asook die sleutelareas van organisasie-ontwerp, beloningstelsels, bestuursontwikkeling en leierskap.

An earthquake occurred in 2006 at Yogyakarta which damaged 209,494 buildings and caused the death of 4,143 people. A post-disaster settlement reconstruction covering all settlement facilities and infrastructure was initiated using a participatory approach which involved the targeted residents in the process of mapping the conditions, potentials, and resources of the region. It is, however, important to evaluate the effectiveness of this reconstruction method to reduce the impacts of such disaster in the future. Therefore, this research was conducted to focus on the forms, levels, and driving factors of citizen participation at each reconstruction stage. A qualitative descriptive method was employed through the use of observation and the findings showed that citizens were involved in the process by attending and participating in rembug warga forums, suggesting ideas, donating funds, and serving as personnel at the socialization, planning, and implementation stages. The reconstruction led to the construction of quality residential infrastructure and facilities due to the systematic and integrated coordination of the rembug warga forums.
