Youth Policy of Kazakhstan in the Conditions of the State Political Transformation

In the context of the political transformation of Kazakhstan, the issue of youth policy is justified by the trends in the formation of the rule of law and civil society. The fact is that these trends are not possible without regulating the political passivity and apolitical youth. It should be noted that the political activity of Kazakh youth is haphazard, besides, most of them are indifferent to changes in the political sphere. In addition, the phenomenon of quasi-liberalism, widespread in modern social networks, is becoming a destabilizing factor in the political system. All this hinders the establishment and development of feedback between the state and youth. In this regard, the strategic importance of the state youth policy as the main regulatory mechanism of the relationship between the state and youth is very high. The authors put forward the concept of the development of ideological concepts, in addition to its socio-economic orientation. It is also noted how important the place of social networks is in carrying out ideological work among young people.

Contemporary Value Assessment of Marxist Ideology under the Context of Deep Learning.

As a conceptual superstructure, ideology plays a very important role in national security, social stability, and healthy economic development. As a result, ideological work is critical to the Party's success, and the current focus of ideological work is to increase ideological risk prevention. The focus of ideological risk avoidance is gradually shifting to cyberspace as the Internet becomes the primary arena and forum for information interchange, value dissemination, and ideological exchanges. Deep learning, as a data processing technology, is characterized by deep data analysis and full generalization and can have an impact on ideological security work: on the one hand, it helps work subjects evaluate and count the process and effect of work in order to grasp the trend of public opinion; on the other hand, it helps work subjects understand and reflect on the inner logic and contemporary value of Marxist theory through diversified work platforms and diverse work methods and promotes work subjects' understanding of Marxist theory. On the other hand, through diversified working platforms and various working methods, we help the working targets to understand and reflect on the inner logic and contemporary values of Marxist theory and promote their true identification with socialist core values. Based on the impact of deep learning on work subjects and work objects, this paper proposes that Marxian ideological security workers can use it to effectively achieve good communication and contemporary value assessment among different work subjects, set specific indicators according to the division of labour, adopt different working methods according to the groups to which the learning bjects belong, and establish a long-term evaluation mechanism in the process.

Cognitive Structure of College Students and Teaching Strategies of Ideological and Political Education Under Educational Psychology.

The ideological and political education (IPE) situation is constantly developing and changing. In modern globalization, the ideological education of college students has received great attention. The purpose is to strengthen morality and cultivate people as the basic point of a college education. The principles of educational psychology are adopted to integrate IPE into the whole process of college teaching and help students develop healthily for a long time. First, IPE psychology’s concept and subject attribute under educational psychology are expounded. Next, the concept and development of cognitive structure theory are introduced. Moreover, educational constructivist measures are analyzed. Furthermore, the cognitive structure of college students’ self-cognition and IPE is interpreted and analyzed using cognitive psychology. Then, a questionnaire is designed to study the influencing factors of political education strategies in colleges. Finally, the questionnaire is collected to summarize the influencing factors and put forward optimization strategies. The results show that using the principles of educational psychology and cognitive psychology to investigate can accurately understand modern college students’ self-cognitive structure and ideological and political cognitive structure. The opportunity factor greatly impacts the IPE strategy of college students. More than 97% think that it has an impact, of which more than 51% think that it has a great impact and more than 21% think that it is the decisive factor. Challenge factors greatly impact college students’ IPE strategies. More than 97% think they have an impact, of which more than 55% think they have a great impact, and more than 24% think they are decisive factors. It shows that educational psychology is conducive to the progress of political education in colleges and the improvement of college students’ ideological and political levels. This exploration provides a new direction for educational psychology research in ideological and political work.

Strategies for Safe Communication of University Network Ideology in the Context of Internet

Colleges and universities are the main positions for our Party to carry out ideological and political education and grasp the mainstream ideology. However, with the erosion of the Internet on colleges and universities, the ideology of colleges and universities has gradually shown the characteristics of liberalization, fragmentation, entertainment, routinization and homogenization, which poses a great challenge to the work of network ideology and network security in colleges and universities. In such a dilemma, it is necessary to take corresponding measures to adjust the ideology and network security of colleges and universities, and to build a mainstream discourse system in line with socialist values, so as to guide the network public opinion and network security of colleges and universities.

Intelligent Analysis and Positioning of Political Public Opinion in Universities

With the rapid development of Internet technology, the network has become an indispensable way of life for undergraduates. The correct guidance of public opinion has also become an important thing in the ideological work of universities. Undergraduates are in an important period of formation and development of thoughts that they are easily to be incited by cyber-rumors. Therefore, it is particularly important to obtain the data of political public opinion in universities and position the hot topics for early detection of political public opinion tendency, which can also avoid the outbreak of major security incidents. With such consideration, this paper obtains multi-source political public opinion data from BBS, Tieba and Weibo of SUN YAT-SEN UNIVERSITY (SYSU) through crawler. We study a text feature extraction method based on Word2Vec & LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation), which improves the high-dimensional sparsity in traditional Vector Space Model (VSM) text representation. Meanwhile, based on the classical Single-pass clustering algorithm, this paper studies the Single-pass & HAC clustering algorithm. In addition, a measurement method of hot topic is defined to calculate the heat value of political public opinion. Dictionary and rule based method is used to improve the accuracy of sentiment tendency analysis. The experimental results demonstrate that the effect of topic detection and positioning based on LDA & Word2Vec and Single-pass & HAC algorithm is better than other methods.

“Discoursing sectarianism” approach: What and how to analyse in sectarian discourses

AbstractThis article puts forth ‘discoursing sectarianism’ as an approach helping overcome gaps in essentialism, instrumentalism and constructivism as the three main lines of analysing sectarianism. The approach takes language as a point of departure, showing how it can dually describe reality as a ‘neutral’ medium of communication and also create reality as constitutive component of practices sectarianisation. The approach also focuses on workings of ideology and power relations as part of linking language, texted in variable formats such as written speeches, monuments or images, with contexts shaping or being shaped with them. Thus, we have to study manifestations or articulations sectarianism, e.g. a speech or an image, within the broader process of their actualisation or materialisation (e.g. the context in which these articulations are enforced, transformed, challenged or falsified). This broader process of discoursing sectarianism within language and beyond can thus accommodate elements predominating analyses in the three other lines of enquiry such as religion and history. The final section of the paper maps a practical and analytical toolkit for researchers and analysts seeking to investigate sectarian discourses by offering the three mutually inclusive levels of textual practices, discursive practices and political practices.

AIdeological Manipulation Strategies of Religion and Emotional Deception: A Study of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter

One of the foundational cornerstones upon which works of literature are built is Religion. It is a motivational ideology that inspires authors to write fiction. Ideological literary works are not mere aesthetic attempts that reflect the unlimited potential ability of literature to present the unthinkable: they are serious works that reflect the very social turmoil that the author has been experiencing in his society. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne perfectly represents this type of genre. He successfully shows the way Religion was ideological manipulated by the authorities in that Puritan society. This paper highlights the different ideological strategies influential individuals employ to change people’s convictions. After a short perusal of the different stages, the theory of ideology has undergone, it presents the most significant ideological factors in the novel depending on various thinkers, mainly Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, and Slavoj Zizek. It also shows the domination of ideology over the life of people: it may be observed in their clothes, customs, cultural attitude, and means of communication. Depending on certain theorists, this research finally proves that it is beyond the possibility of anyone to break the chains of ideology and live in a Real world. The illusion of ideology sneaks into every single detail of people’s lives, as represented in Hawthorne’s novel.

OBJECTIVITY ISSUES IN ISLAMIC THOUGHT: A CONCEPTUAL APPROACH

Objectivity is a key standard to assess any intellectual work in Islamic Thought. This standard helps differentiate between methodological work that is characterized by objectivity, and doctrinal or ideological work where subjectivity predominates. However, there are major obstacles that stand in the way of applying this objective assessment; namely the problem of defining the boundaries between al-Manhajiyah (methodology) and al-Madhhabiyah (doctrinal thinking or ideology) in Islamic Thought. Defining those boundaries encounters, and is influenced by, a series of problems, most notably the conceptual confusion caused by the lack of precision in the definition of the words: al-Manhaj (method) and al-Madhhab (doctrine). This study aims at solving these problems by determining the points of convergence and divergence between what is purely objective and methodological, and what is purely subjective and based on doctrinal affiliation. In order to achieve this goal, this paper used a conceptual approach to study the concepts of al-Manhaj (method) and al-Madhhab (doctrine) based on their maturity, and the agreement upon their meaning. The paper also demonstrated the impact of each criterion on objectivity in Islamic Thought. The methods of research used in this study are thematic and qualitative analysis.

Of essential workers and working from home: Journalistic discourses and the precarities of a pandemic economy.

This article considers how reporting about work during the COVID-19 pandemic operated as a field of discourse that challenged the ideological workings of neoliberalism. By documenting the risks and stresses workers of all classes faced during the first year of the pandemic, the reporting began to question neoliberal capitalism as socially unsustainable. Drawing on a corpus of 151 long-form articles and commentary, we show how journalistic discourse structured relationships between different classes of workers and implicated institutions for failing to properly mitigate the risks associated with COVID-19, even though the discourse largely centered on professionals working from home. As the reporting substantiated the precarities revealed by the pandemic as social facts, it challenged presumptions that undergird neoliberal ideologies, though it remains to be seen whether journalism will discursively re-center neoliberal logics in the wake of the pandemic.

Teaching Effect Evaluation System of Ideological and Political Teaching Based on Supervised Learning

University students face immense challenges in current situations in ideological and political research. Therefore, the way ideological work constantly needs to be adapted, and the exchange of advanced experience strengthened to increase ideological and political education (IPE) in universities. Specific methods of university administration may include only ideological and political courses. Courses information and student grades did not conduct an ideological or political evaluation of the student. They assessed the psychological behaviors of the student based on their success, nor did them include clear information on the course schedule for specific ideological and political courses. This article, Supervised learning-based teaching evaluation approach (SL-TEA), has been proposed to focus on supervised learning from ideas about machine learning technology and the current IPE status, to be developed using a brief analysis procedure. Supervised learning uses a practice set to provide the necessary quality through teaching models. Inputs and correct outputs that allow the model to learn over time are part of this training data. The study uses the system of experts to manage, operate and monitor model evaluation data and create a related database for a real-time update. Besides, to check the impact of the model and to run simulation tests. This study SL-TEA model follows the real needs of the system that the ideological and political teaching content of colleges and colleges can be evaluated. Thus, the experimental results show the better performance through the highest student accuracy ratio of 97.1 %, a high-performance ratio of 94.3%, improved political thinking rate of 92.8%, improved actual positive rate of 90.2%, the false-positive rate of 92.2%, enhance learning rate of 96.6% and reduce the error rate 21.2%, compared to other methods.

Languaging ethnicity and decolonising language ideologies in Cameroon contemporary urban music

This paper examines the relationship between standard language ideologies and ethnicity as performed in music. This is premised against the assumption that research on language and race/ethnicity has tended to focus more on institutional settings and how ideologies about race or ethnicity are (re) produced and sustained through language policies and practices in these settings while little is done to account for how these tendencies are performed out of institutional settings. It is against this backdrop that this paper examines two Cameroonian songs as sites wherein ideologies about standard language are sustained and challenged. The ethnicisation of linguistic sounds in one True Feelings permeates a colonial tendency establishing the standard norm versus the non-standard variety between British English and Cameroon English or New Englishes in general. The purported Standard English is depicted as the norm against which deviant forms are judged. This tendency is decolonised Be Proud wherein plea is made to diversity and linguistic plurality as the alternation between different sound forms and structures is associated to the creative potential of the language. The analysis therefore demonstrates that there is need to consider and amplify the enormous research in the emerging field of Raciolinguistics by extending the debate into informal settings where such ideological work is either sustained or challenged.

Linguistic taboo, ideology, and erasure: Reproducing homophobia as norm and lesbianism as stigma in women's football in Turkey

AbstractWomen's football (soccer) in Turkey is an introverted community of practice with linguistic practices and ideologies that maintain homophobia as norm. The word “lesbian” is taboo and substituted with “shorthaired,” and lesbian identity is erased as “wannabe manliness.” Homosexuality appears “acceptable” (through erasure) only when women self‐present as normatively feminine, and such “propriety” is class related. The linguistic taboo is fractured if interlocutor “footing” shifts vis‐à‐vis researcher expectations. However, the very moments when linguistic taboo is fractured reveal homophobia as the reigning norm. Given the larger political context in Turkey where queer identity and existence are threatened, the workings of linguistic ideology, linguistic taboo, and homophobia in women's football raise the stakes for queer footballers regarding how they may claim sexual identities. This article is based on four months of fieldwork in 2019 and 2020, mostly in Istanbul, with current and former footballers, coaches, media representatives, and club and federation administrators.

Revisiting Theory and Method in Language Ideology Research

It is now some decades since the study of “linguistic ideology” was first proposed (Silverstein 1979), and the time is ripe for taking stock. This article considers some developments in this field as it has emerged and, in some respects, become normalized. Yet,normalizedcan meanbackgrounded, taken for granted—perhaps obscuring important theoretical issues and methodological challenges. I revisit what is entailed by “ideology”; the debate between explicit and implicit sources of evidence (and why this binary is itself problematic); issues of ideological multiplicity and dominance; and questions such as: Must ideology be internally consistent? Why turn to semiotics, and should “language ideology” then be re‐labeled “semiotic ideology”? Are ideologies big programs, distinct from local metapragmatic activity? I address these questions while making methodological recommendations about research sites, contrasts and boundaries, attention to flows and connections, and a “centerpiece” method for tracing ideological work. An extended example concerning sociolinguistic variation in Maryland illustrates the discussion.

The expression of "United Front" in "Salvation Daily" under the textual analysis method

With the rapid development of the Internet and new media, online public opinion shows the direction of diversified demands. Domestically, it has become more difficult for the official media to lead public opinion, and internationally, the work in the field of ideology is still complicated. The "unification" of public ideology is crucial in solving various social problems, such as the Taiwan issue, and in strengthening and improving the methods and approaches of social management. The Salvation Daily was a newspaper that came into being during the period of total resistance in the last century, and it was also a newspaper for the united front in the cultural sector. During its brief period of operation, the Daily Salvation Daily reached a daily circulation of 8,000 copies in its heyday, and its influence spread to Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Sichuan, and even Hong Kong and Nanyang. The Salvation Daily became one of the most influential progressive newspapers in the entire southwest region and played a significant role in promoting the "United Front" of the whole nation. This paper uses textual analysis to analyze the news texts and newspaper characteristics of the Salvation Daily during the war period, to explore the success of its "united front" propaganda and "national unity" consciousness, as well as its contribution to today's "united front" ideological work. The paper also discusses the success of its "United Front" propaganda and "national unity" awareness-raising work, as well as the inspiration it brings to the present-day "United Front" ideological work.

Exploring the Path of Enhancing Ideological and Political Education in Universities in the Era of Big Data.

The emergence of the big data era has drastically altered people's lives and perceptions. One needs a thorough understanding of the topic to effectively apply big data's benefits to the ideological and political education work that colleges and universities carry out. By doing so, the advantages of big data can be better exploited and integrated into the educational process, enhancing the work's overall quality. To enhance the path of ideological and political education in colleges and universities, it is necessary to change according to the matter, advance according to the time, and make new changes according to the situation, and therefore, it is important to actively explore the path of ideological and political education in colleges and universities under the times. In this study, we research and analyze the opportunities and challenges facing the ideological and political education of universities in the era of big data, reexamine the subjective and objective environment in which the ideological and political education of universities is located, and explore the innovative development path of the ideological and political education of universities in the new environment. We will also encourage the innovative growth of ideological and political work in four areas, such as cultivating big data thinking innovation, working method innovation, working carrier innovation, and ideological work team construction, and conduct a ranking analysis on the significance of the exploration variables to improve the path of ideological work. The importance score measures the value of features in the construction of the ascending decision in the model, so the XGBoost algorithm is used to sort and analyze the significance of exploring variables to enhance the political and ideological work trajectory. The analysis of the experimental results shows that the innovation of working methods has greatly enhanced the conditions for carrying out ideological and political education in the new environment and has far-reaching implications and important significance for the innovation of ideological and political education in universities.

Give full play to the advantages of emerging media to broaden the path of university publicity work–based on the research and analysis of the operation of a youth media center at a university in Wuhan

The university is in the front position of ideological work, and its task is arduous, its mission is great. It is a strategic project to do propaganda and ideological work well in universities, which is related to the party’s leadership over colleges and universities, the full implementation of the Party’s educational policy, and the successor of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This is of great and far-reaching significance for consolidating the guiding position of Marxism in the field of ideology and consolidating the common ideological basis for the united struggle of the whole Party and the Chinese people. Colleges and universities should adapt to the trend of the Times, make good use of modern media platforms, continuously promote the innovation of publicity ideas, methods, and effects lay a solid cultural foundation, carry forward the spirit of colleges and universities, and make colleges and universities become demonstration areas of the construction of spiritual civilization in the new era.
