Production of Culture in the Vernacular Communities: Confucian Beliefs and the Culture of Shame in Japan

Confucianism has been systematized in Japan since the Tokugawa or Edo period. Since then, Confucianism has contributed to culture in Japan. In fact, influence of the teachings of Confucianism on contemporary Japanese culture is noteworthy. This research therefore examines the influence of Confucianism on the contemporary Japanese society. It employs descriptive-qualitative research methods. All the data was collected through literature. Findings show that Confucianism has influenced contemporary Japanese politics primarily through the Samurai code of ethics or Bushido. Bushido values and morals are applied not only by the Samurai but has become a national code of ethics. The teachings that became national moral values have gradually transformed Japan into a politically stable country. As a result, Confucius' lessons on shame have also influenced the political culture of Japan. Confucius emphasized the importance of leading and governing individuals through morality and decency, which would instill shame in them and cause them to resign if found corrupt. Confucianism is so ingrained in the Japanese culture that its teachings are taken for granted. Many aspects of the Japanese society, including politics, have been influenced by this integration.

Principles of the compilation of East-Podillia dialects

A key role of dialect dictionaries in the preservation of the national memory of the people and national moral values is emphasized in the paper. It has been stated that dialect vocabulary compiled in the dictionary is of great heuristic value, as it expresses a historical progress of the nation in its work, with customs and beliefs, the whole outlook in general, which is why it is a required source for the reconstruction of the ancient condition of a material and moral culture of native speakers.
 It has been found out that some specialists in dialectology-lexicography mark the registries of dialect words differently (dictionary, short dictionary, lexicon, vocabulary, materials for dictionary, small dictionary, etc.). Ukrainian dialect dictionaries were analyzed as to their completeness of vocabulary presentations, the coverage of dialect areas and some peculiarities of the representation of regional vocabulary in thematic dictionaries which contained the dialects of East Podillia.
 The purpose and the task of the compilation of the Dictionary of East-Podillia dialects as well as its format/size were defined. Foreign analogs of such creation, in particular Podillia ones, were noticed. The principles of the compilation of a multi-volume edition of the Dictionary of East-Podillia dialects according to the thematic groups were worked out.
 The importance of the Dictionary of East-Podillia dialects for Ukrainian language studies has been underlined, as it will become a profound source for further language research.

Negotiating human rights: citizenship education in South Korea

ABSTRACT This study investigates how human rights education (HRE), a global movement and citizenship education model based on universal personhood rather than nationality, is presented and negotiated in relation to national citizenship discourses in South Korean middle school moral education and social studies textbooks. Using qualitative methods of textual analysis, I identify four recurring approaches consistently used in textbooks to educate students about human rights: (1) distinguishing between universal human rights and national constitutional rights, (2) emphasizing duties to the national community, (3) accommodating both global and national identity through a discourse of achieving harmony and (4) demonstrating continuity between universal and national moral values. These findings contribute to the existing empirical literature on Korean citizenship education by investigating the interaction of global and local citizenship narratives.

The results showed that the moral values facilitated by SIDH include social values (which are reflected in honesty, responsibility, cooperation, tolerance, and peace, among others), religious values (which are reflected in obedience to worship and how to get along with the opposite sex by the teachings Islam). The value of nationalism (reflected in students while maintaining and introducing Indonesian culture in the Netherlands). Being present and developing in the Land of Windmills is not a barrier to continuing education by adhering to national values.

Гендерные стереотипы маскулинности в диалектной коммуникации (на материале бранных номинаций мужчин)

The aim of the research is to describe some of the traditional gender stereotypes of masculinity that exist in modern dialectic communication, based on an analysis of the abusive names of men. The relevance of the topic is due to the significance of the problem for identifying, as well as for the justification and strengthening of gender asymmetry existing in the modern Russian society. The methodological basis of the study – implemented in the works of A.V. Kirilina’s understanding of gender as a sociocultural construct, suggesting a description of the stereotypical gender ideas about signs, qualities, patterns of behavior that exist in the society due to belonging to a particular gender and reflected in various units of the language. The study analyzes the abusive nominations of men in Russian dialects and notes their use primarily for designating carriers of those qualities that do not correlate in the popular consciousness with the traditional “ideal” image of a man as a representative of the dominant sex, with a predetermined natural world order, the right to have dominant positions in the society. The following are negatively assessed: lack of physical strength and endurance, economic skills; parasitism; staying in idleness; spinelessness, weakness, complaisance in family life; excessive modesty (mukhryshka, gatila, chuzhespinnik, khabol’nik, prodyra, etc.). The rejection of qualities that do not meet the standards of life of the village society, established national moral values, by males is also confirmed – arrogance, boastfulness, unsociability, as well as impudence, sneakiness, cunning, roguishness, shamelessness (chvanishka, khval’bun, molchaga, ukhach, shnyra, khap, etc.). Male qualities that were negatively assessed with the help of swearing nominations only in their excessive manifestation or selectively, were revealed – a tendency to drink alcohol, aggressiveness, freedom of behavior (p’yanushka, buzuy, chuzhebabnik, etc.).The small number of abusive nominations related to men with semantics traditionally correlated in a dialectic environment with belonging exclusively or mainly to women and thereby perceived as reducing a man’s status is justified – grouchiness, greed, talkativeness, fastidiousness, importunity, fussiness, cowardice, scandalous, clumsy (khnych, zhadoba, balaban, chemezinnik, mula, tolkun, khlysten’, tyulyapay, tupyak, etc.). The author concludes that the dialectic swearing nominations of men, indirectly reflecting the specifics of the Russian national-cultural consciousness, support patriarchal gender stereotypes, representing evidence of the androcentricity of the dialectic picture of the world.

The Interned Soldiers of UРR Army at the Camp Stshalkovo in Poland (the Second Half of 1921 – the Beginning of 1922): the Moral and Life Conditions

The article analyzes the moral condition and conditions of staying of interned Ukrainian soldiers in the camp of Stshalkovo (Poland) in the second half of 1921 – early 1922. Based on the use of a wide range of archival sources, the author concludes that the camp everyday life of the wartime period was marked by significant difficulties due to its extraordinary crowding and presence in the camp of interned and captured soldiers of other formations (Balahovtsy and Red Army soldiers). The lack of any material resources, the lack of adequate and high-quality food, the lack of fuel for heating booths, anti-Ukrainian agitation, led to the fact that a part of Ukrainian soldiers lost national moral values.
 In order to prevent the demoralization of Ukrainian warfare, the command of the group tried to intensify cultural and educational work in the camp, but due to lack of premises and lack of resources, it slowly collapsed. Some of the interned ones did not withstand the burden of hopeless and burdensome camping munitions, and left the camp in search of better living conditions. Obviously, this was a dangerous trend, and the command of the interned troops in various ways tried to prevent it from further spreading. The leader of the group A. Pиzitsky was particularly opposed to the destructive processes in the camp. His measures were fully understood and supported by the higher military leadership of the Armed Forces and the Government of the UPR.
