Paper discusses topical problems of preserving and further strengthening tolerance in Georgia as an attribute of contemporary Georgian society. An interplay between religious and ethnic aspects of conflict is a primary focus of the paper. It is argued that despite the rarity of religion-driven conflicts between different ethnic groups, there is an acute need for preventive measures to avert conflict in the future. Effective and coordinated efforts on the part of international organizations and individual governments are seen as of increasing importance as they support Georgia's political stability and economic growth.

Секция 7. Коммуникация в социально-гуманитарном знании, экономике, образовании ; Представлен компаративный анализ коммуникаций и политики в сфере образования Беларуси и России в с учетом роста роли религии и религиозного мировоззрения. Показано, что в Беларуси идеология жизнедеятельности государства создает благоприятные условия для подготовки национально ориентированных специалистов. Религиозные институты оказывают существенное влияние на формирование отношений человека к национальному государственному управлению. При этом творчески используются современные технологии коммуникаций и благожелательное отношение государства к участию представителей официально зарегистрированных религиозных организаций в процессах обучения и воспитания. Религиозные институты являются одним из главных факторов социализации, в коммуникациях с людьми апеллируют к культурным традициям, к духовной общности, уважению к ближнему, естественному стремлению человека к справедливости и благополучию. В России существует проблема формулирования объединяющей все социальные слои идеи социально-экономического развития государства и общества. ; Исследование выполнено при финансовой поддержке РФФИ и АНО ЭИСИ в рамках научного проекта № 19-011-31297 ; The comparative analysis of communications and policy in the sphere of education of Belarus and Russia in view of the growing role of religion and religious worldview is presented. It is shown that in Belarus the ideology of the state creates favorable conditions for the training of nationally oriented specialists. Religious institutions have a significant impact on the formation of human relations to national governance. At the same time, modern communication technologies and the benevolent attitude of the state to the participation of representatives of officially registered religious organizations in the processes of education and upbringing are creatively used. Religious institutions are one of the main factors of socialization, in communication with people they appeal to cultural traditions, to spiritual community, respect for the neighbor, the natural human desire for justice and well-being. In Russia there is a problem of formulation of the idea of social and economic development of the state and society uniting all social layers.

A scholar of world religions investigates religiously motivated violence that occurred in medieval Tibet and Bhutan, as well as in modern India, Sri Lanka, Burma, and Japan. The fusion of religious and national identity in high lamas and divine kings has caused just as much violence in Asia as it did in Europe and the Middle East.

En el pequeño reino de Zangla (Zanskar), son exaltadas las virtudes búdicas del rey. A lo largo de los siglos, este reconocimiento ha motivado donaciones importantes del palacio real a los monasterios. Los reyes zanskari están emparentados con Buda : su grupo clánico fue engendrado por Gautama, ancestro lejano de los Sakya. Por otra parte, la primacia del rey sobre los campesinos conlleva su primacia en los rituales laicos comunitarios. Durante los trabajos rituales de primavera, el rey aparece como el primero entre « los dueños de la tierra » (sabdag). La identidad de los dioses del clan real y de las divinidades tutelares del pueblo evocan la naturaleza doble de los sku bla del Tibet antiguo (siglos VII-IX). Por otra parte diversos indices testimonian de la presencia, en Zanskar, de la concepción « sacralizada » del polder real, sacralización que estaba en vigor durante el tiempo de las soveranos tibetanos.

This writing aims to analyze the sociological aspects of multicultural Islamic religious education. Multicultural Islamic religious education is a solution to the plurality of Indonesian society in accordance with the democratic principles adopted by the Indonesian nation. Multicultural Islamic religious education is an important aspect in building the nation's next generation. Sociological aspects in multicultural Islamic religious education are fundamentally reflected by the existence of conducive cooperation between Islamic religious education in the family, school and community environment, good educational control will be realized. In a sociological context, the family is the first and foremost institution known to children. In this case, his parents are the first to be known and provide educational values. Then the school environment, the school at this time is a need for everyone to get an education from school. Schools in this case have two important aspects, namely individual aspects and social aspects. On the one hand, schools are tasked with influencing and creating conditions that allow optimal development. Furthermore, the community environment, a diverse society such as in Indonesia often creates the potential for friction or even conflict. Therefore, differences are a necessity in a pluralistic society. Differences must be accepted as a necessity. Such acceptance will lead to people's attitudes that can accept existing differences. This is what will produce students who have good morals, who will not only make their parents and teachers proud, but also the community as users of educational outcomes.
