Modernleşme Sürecinde Yaşlılık Sorunlarına İlişkin Sosyolojik Bir Değerlendirme

Batı özelinde ortaya çıkan modernleşme önemli bir toplumsal değişim sürecidir. Bu değişim süreci, toplumsal yaşamın farklı alanlarında çok boyutlu ve köklü değişimleri başlatmıştır. Bu değişim sürecinde yaşlılık olgusu, aile ile birlikte değişimin merkezinde yer almıştır. Özellikle sanayileşme ve kentleşme gibi toplumsal değişim unsurlarının birbiriyle olan ilişkisi ve artan yoğunluğu modernleşme sürecinde geleneksel aile yaşamı üzerinde derin etkiler bırakmıştır. Bu etkiler, ailelerin yeni yaşam biçimlerini benimsemelerine yol açmıştır. Toplumsal değişimler, yaşamın her alanında birçok sorunu ortaya çıkarsa da genellikle görünür olduğu yer ailedir. Modernleşmeyle birlikte geleneksel aile bağlarının çözülmesi ve bireyselliğin öne çıkması, yaşlılıkla ilgili birçok değeri değiştirmiştir. Yaşlı bireylerin geleneksel toplumda ailesi ve çevresi ile kurduğu ilişkilerinin boyutu modern döneme geçişle birlikte değişmiş, geleneksel dönemdeki etkin rollerinin bir kısmını kaybetmişlerdir. Dolayısıyla geleneksel dönemde yaşlı bireylerin yaşam tarzı, modern döneme geçişle birlikte zaafa uğramıştır. Bu durum, yaşlıların aileleri ve sosyal çevreleri ile ilgili yaşadıkları birtakım sıkıntıları gündeme taşımıştır. Modern dönem; bireyselliğin radikalleştiği, geleneksel dayanışma bağlarının çözüldüğü, aidiyet ve kimlik krizlerinin insan yaşamında sosyo-psikolojik gerilimleri tırmandırdığı bir sürece işaret etse de etkilerinin bundan daha yoğun olduğu bir gerçektir. Yaşlı bireylerin bu yoğun etkiler karşısındaki savunmasızlığı neredeyse toplumun diğer üyelerinin önüne geçmiştir. Bu makalede geleneksel dönem ile modern dönemde yaşlı bireylerin, aileleri ve çevreleri üzerinden içinde bulunduğu sosyokültürel durumun bir karşılaştırılması yapılmış ve modern dönemde yaşlıları, geleneksel toplumdan farklı kılan unsurlar konu edilmiştir. Öncelikle araştırmada geleneksel toplumda yaşlıya verilen önemin üzerinde durulmuş, daha sonra ise modernleşmenin etkisiyle yaşlılığı bir sorun haline getiren süreçler tartışılmaya açılmıştır. Araştırmada yaşlılık olgusu ele alınırken literatür kaynaklarından elde ettiğimiz verilerin bir derlemesi yapılmıştır.

PROFESSIONAL ACADEMIC MUSIC EDUCATION AND MODERN SOCIOCULTURAL ENVIRONMENT: ASPECT OF VALUE AND WORLDVIEW

A set of values and worldviews of professional academic music education in the context of the current sociocultural situation is considered. The complex of views on music is interpreted as a way of musical socialization. The coexistence of a wide range of musical socialization channels in the modern world is positioned as a prerequisite for the intonational images of the world confrontation. It is determined that academic music education transmits the mental attitudes of opus music, according to which it occupies a dominant position in the tone atmosphere. The hierarchy of musical practices as a result of non-academic music evaluation according to the academic sphere parameters is explored. The position of this value and worldview system through the prism of musical-cultural polycentrism is analyzed. Mandatory markers of academic music leadership have been shown to be conditional. It is stated that the writing nature of making music should not be positioned as a criterion for determining the professionalism and value of non-academic music practices. It is emphasized that the protection of this parameter affects the shift of emphasis from the “music as process” to “music as objects”. The primacy of the concert performance communicative model is denied. It is stated that this deprives all its subjects of active participation. It is noted that the parameter of autonomy of musical creativity should not be used in positioning different music practices. The functional distinctiveness of musicians is demonstrated on the two segments of the music services market. The meaning of the categories “elitism” and “art” is refuted on the basis of sociological and cultural transformations. It is indicated that on their basis have been developed new limits of the definition of these concepts.
 Keywords: professional academic music education; training of musical art specialists; value and worldview complex of academic music; ideology of opus music; modern socio-cultural environment; subcultural stratification; chaotic intonational versatility; sociology of music education.

Судьба «традиции» в современном мире: сравнительный анализ концепций Э. Хобсбаума и Ш. Эйзенштадта

The conflicting assessments of the nature and role of traditions in the modern world stem in part from differences in the use of the term; the specific phenomena that are the focus of each perspective differ in some important respects. This opens up the possibility that seemingly contradictory conclusions about the role of traditions in contemporary societies can be reconciled. The article discusses the role and influence of traditions for the analysis of the modern socio-cultural situation from the point of view of two approaches: the concept of invented tradition by Eric Hobsbawm and the concept of multiple modernities by Shmuel Eisenstadt. The purpose of the article is to give a comparative analysis of the two approaches to tradition, showing that modernity is not a culturally neutral, universal socio-cultural product, but is formed under the influence of many traditions. Based on the method of comparative analysis, it was revealed that the concept of multiple modernities by Shmuel Eisenstadt, as well as the concept of invented tradition by Eric Hobsbawm, contradict the view of the classical theory of modernization on modernity as a break with tradition. At the same time, the meaning that Eisenstadt attaches to tradition differs markedly from that proposed by E. Hobsbawm. It is concluded that from the point of view of the theory of multiple modernities, the invention of new traditions in modernity is better understood as a process of transformation, and that the reconstruction of a tradition is not the same as invention. In both cases, both for the transformation and reconstruction of the tradition, the sociocultural context is important.

Modern socio-cultural situation: the problem of value orientations

Aim to identify value orientations within the concept of metamodernism. The article notes that after several decades of postmodernism, society turns to metamodernism as a new attempt to grasp its position in a constantly varying present, as an attempt to respond quickly to the proposed challenges of time.
 The author considers main features of metamodernism, and on their basis offers a characteristic of current value orientations, replacing the modernist attitudes: recognition of the value of "to stay between", the value priority of feeling and sensation, orientation on deep meanings, the desire to be involved in the great history. We conclude that metamodernism offers new ways of comprehending social being and, within their framework, the construction of a new hierarchy of value orientations.

Factors influencing the acceptance and patronage of E-commerce logistics operations in Nigeria

BackgroundIn the global world that is technologically driven, efficiency and productivity of businesses that have decided to embrace technology are achieved by e-commerce logistics (ECL). E-commerce logistics has received momentous attention in the developed countries but less attention in the developing countries. There have been some elements of uncertainty regarding the relevance of e-commerce logistics especially in the developing countries. To fill this gap, this study explored the factor influencing the acceptance and patronage of e-commerce logistics in Nigeria.MethodsThe following e-commerce and logistics businesses: Jumia, Konga, Kobo360, Breath2Wealth, Okrikah, DeliveryBros, Cartehub, STYLISTAA, and DayDone Limited, were explored in this study. The organizations were chosen because they were known for both e-commerce and logistics business. Qualitative research method and case study research design were employed for data collection through a purposive sampling technique. Primary data were targeted at two representatives from each organization.ConclusionsThe study found that external factors, political situation, government initiatives, economic situation, geographical situation, technology infrastructure, sociocultural situation, and public wakefulness have significant influence on the acceptance and patronage of e-commerce logistics in Nigeria. The study also found that many e-commerce companies also venture into distribution, thereby providing some level of logistics such as warehousing, packaging, and transportation, but they were not well informed that their operation is beyond e-commerce. It is therefore recommended that such organization should include logistics to their operation. E-commerce logistics organization should clearly state their terms and condition regarding the law of carriage which should be in accordance to the Nigeria law of Carriage.

«Axiological Turn» in Russian Education: Position of Subjectivism

Reflective theorizations about the state and prospects for the development of domestic education clearly recognize two trends in its future – continuity and individualization. In addition, the tendency of an “axiological turn” in the sense of education as a value and the value of education itself is clearly articulated. Modern pluralism of educational practices indicates the possibility of an individual to become the main subject of a new type of educational interaction based on independent institutionalization. Does the trend of “axiological turn” have ontological grounds for the sanctioned possibility of free change in the subjectivity of an individual in the educational space on fundamentally new methodological grounds? Or is it a continuation of the methodological tradition of axiological subjectivism? In order to find the foundations of a new axiological tradition in the educational space, a theoretical formalization of the category of “value” in the historical and philosophical tradition is being developed, and the results of this formalization are projected onto modern Russian education.On the one hand, the interpretation of educational values as skills, abilities and competencies is nothing more than an objective requirement of a dynamically changing socio-cultural situation with its ever-increasing uncertainty. On the other hand, the “axiological turn”, to a much greater extent, is associated with a change in the value orientations of the individual him/herself. This, with a special degree of efficiency and dynamism, is expressed in a change in the nature of educational-individual trajectories towards the professionalization of educational practices with a simultaneous strengthening of their meta-component. It is emphasized that meta-skills, along with existential skills, are the general vectors in the development of the axiological ecosystem of education. Based on the historical and philosophical review of the understanding of values and ideas about education as a way of reproducing culture (in the dialectic of alienation and appropriation of social values), the conclusion is formulated that modern concepts of the reversal of educational practices are, to a certain extent, private explications of axiological subjectivism.

Mass media of the indigenous peoples of the Far East: the history of origin and current state

The purpose of the article is to study the history of the emergence of the mass media of the indigenous peoples of the Far East and their current state. The author examines the factors of formation, functions and purpose, formal and substantive features, the main trends in the development of mass media of the indigenous peoples of the Far East in the context of the political, economic and socio-cultural situation of the XIX - XXI centuries. The geography of the study covers the entire Far Eastern Federal District and includes an analysis of the content of ethnic media operating on the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Republic of Buryatia, the Khabarovsk Territory, the Sakhalin Region and other subjects of the Far Eastern region. The research, being philological in essence, is based on an interdisciplinary approach, synthesizing knowledge of various sciences: theory and history of journalism, ethnography, ethnology, cultural studies. General scientific methods (descriptive-analytical, system description, classification construction method), as well as special methods (historical, comparative, content analysis method), elements of the synchronic and diachronic method were used as the main research methods. The history of the formation of ethnic media and the problem-thematic originality of the national media of the Far Eastern region have not yet become the object of a comprehensive study of domestic scientists. The novelty of the work consists in a comprehensive study of the mass media of the indigenous peoples of the Far East in the historical and typological aspect, clarifying the qualitative characteristics of the Far Eastern media in the context of the formation of an actual structure of regional journalism.

Nicknames in teaching Russian as a foreign language

The question of expanding the range of linguistic units involved as a linguo-didactic material is raised in the article. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the need to use such a category of proper names as nicknames in the framework of the Russian as a foreign language course. Illustrative material mainly includes well-known, culturally significant nicknames of historical and political figures, as well as modern informal names. The relevance of the research is ensured by the fact that the selection of anthroponyms as educational materials in teaching Russian as a foreign language is not typical for the current linguistic, linguo-cultural and socio-cultural situation. In particular, there is a contradiction between the negative attitude to nicknames established in the society and their real status in the Russian anthroponymic system. Due to the underestimation of the role of nicknames in the society, this type of anthroponyms is not represented in the didactic materials on Russian as a foreign language. However, it is advisable to introduce nicknames in teaching, since they have been a fact of the Russian linguistic and cultural space throughout its existence and meet all the basic approaches of modern Russian pedagogy: competence-based, meta-subject and axiological. The descriptive-analytical method was the leading research method in the article. Nicknames are considered as a category of anthroponyms. The author shows that nicknames are a fact of linguistic and social communication, a linguistic, socio-cultural and individual psychological phenomenon. Nicknames are multifunctional: they perform nominative, identifying, differentiating, individualizing, marking, emotive, axiological, and other functions. The teacher of Russian as a foreign language taking into account the relevance, cognitive significance and communicative value of nicknames; it is necessary to distinguish them from similar categories - pseudonyms and Internet nicknames. The adequacy of the selection will be facilitated by relying on the authors classification of nicknames. Nicknames provide rich material for mastering various linguistic topics properly and establishing meta-subject connections. This approach will make it possible to overcome the separation from reality to some extent, and to improve the quality of teaching Russian to foreigners, develop their competencies, improve their linguistic personality, and introduce them to Russian culture.

The search for new ways of forming a creatively active personality is closely connected with the study of adaptation processes that underlie its interaction with society in all spheres of life - in communication, work, study and more. This is especially important for the professional development of the future specialist, as the effectiveness of professional adaptation will determine the success of the formation of his ideals, values, personal qualities. Professional adaptation of future employees is measured by the vital expediency of work, its results for man and society. the target setting of professional adaptation of a social work specialist in the process of his professional training directly depends on the educational approach implemented in the higher educational institution.

Formation of anthropological consciousness of future teachers as a factor of humanization in the postmodern era

The subject of this article is the conditions for the formation of the anthropological consciousness of the future teacher. By anthropological consciousness we mean a form of reflection of the surrounding world, aimed at preserving human nature in the conditions of transhumanism. The relevance of this topic is due to the trends inherent in the modern socio-cultural situation. Modern education is developing in conflict with the trends of transhumanism and postmodernity. Therefore, it is education that pushes a person to try to realize the extent of using the fruits of scientific and technological progress, to anticipate the possible consequences of the desire to transform and improve their genotype. Education should now be understood and mastered as a special philosophical and anthropological category, fixing the formation of the human in man.The mission of a teacher in the modern multicultural world is to help the younger generation to coexist harmoniously in the processes of integration, migration and globalization. The culture of interethnic communication implies a humanistic orientation, education, tolerance. The core that ensures harmonious intercultural communication is universal values. It is extremely important for future teachers to work both with their own axiological attitudes and with the attitudes of their students. Orientation to the hermeneutical-phenomenological tradition, understanding approaches in education, expansion of philosophical training of future teachers contributes to the formation of anthropological consciousness. Thus, the task of modern education is to help a person to understand and adequately interpret their own being in the context of modern socio-cultural phenomena. Therefore, the formation of the anthropological consciousness of future teachers, aimed at preserving the human in man, opposing the negative trends of transhumanism and the era of blurred meanings, is necessary.
