The article is devoted to a sociological comparative analysis of the values of modern post-industrial society from the perspective of the stratification approach. As studies show, the factors of stratification of modern society are more diverse than those identified by the classical theory of stratification, which is associated with numerous factors complicating society, as well as with the division of values into traditional (national traditions and customs, religion and family values) and secular-rational (self-expression and rationalism). The author comes to the conclusion that the factors of differentiation of modern society are quite diverse and are not limited only to material ones, however, material foundations influence the degree and speed of the spread of post-material values.

An experiment was carried out in which 30 psychol students played trials of a Prisoner's Dilemma game. They also completed a Q giving indicators of their own & their father's soc position, & their att's & knowledge of internat'l affairs, & the Cantril scale measuring expectations of change for the self & the nation. Sex was the only indicator or soc position of the S's themselves which discriminated between them. It was shown to r highly with the level of cooperation in the game, & with knowledge of but not att's to internat'l affairs. For F's, but not for M's, there was a strong negative r between soc position & high expectations of improvement for the nation. It is suggested that the accumulation process undergone in becoming a student is reflected in the cognitive style of the S's. This is shown in responses to opinion questions, which become increasingly homogeneous in spite of the soc background of the R's. In contradistinction, there is the cognitive mode, employed in choosing between strategies of competition & cooperation in the game. This is not so influenced by the student subculture & is more determined by the basic influences on personality such as sex & the soc background & situation. Thus the findings do not support at the individual level the hypothesis of a linear relationship between att's to internat'l affairs & level of cooperation in the Prisoner's Dilemma game; rather, they suggest that the picture is complicated by intervening variables.

Abstract: This essay addresses the status of the Belgian Civil Code in the twenty-first century. If the French revision process should have a successful outcome, Belgium will be one of the last countries to use a nineteenth century code. Does Belgium also need a revision of its Civil Code, or are there suitable alternatives? If a revision is advisable, a more fundamental question arises: How can a revised Belgian Civil Code cope with the stratification of private law and the multiple challenges every European legal system faces today? The first part of this essay briefly elucidates the challenges for the Belgian Civil Code. The second part looks for suitable responses, including (but not limited to) a possible revision of the aforementioned code. The third part will argue that a modernization of the Belgian Civil Code is essential to restore its central position in private law. Since two of the key advantages of codes are their durability and their comprehensive scope, a modern Belgian Civil Code's content should be limited to concepts, basic principles, and general rules. Any attempt to offer an overview of private law in its entirety in a single civil code can only be detrimental to those two key advantages. Because of the limited powers of a national legislature, the further development of the law can only result from collaboration between many different actors. An unremitting emphasis on the facts underlying hard legal questions and on the legal discourse is a necessary element of such a collaborative contribution.

The peculiarities of changes in the geopolitical situation of Ukraine from the beginning of the occupation of Ukrainian lands by the Russian Federation to the present time are analyzed.

The paper examines the social significance of rappers. This question is relevant for a lot of humanities. Based on the psychoanalytic method, the analysis of the phenomenon of popularity of rap in modern Russian society is carried out. In the course of the study, a rap clip is considered as a visualization of an artist's work, providing the most complete disclosure of the semantic content of a creative work. The clip has the same mechanisms of censorship and expression of the experiences of a person, which are also characteristic of a dream. Two directions of rap creativity that are most interesting for the study are distinguished: acute social, the subject of which consciously analyzes his/her experiences, and infantile, in which the subject is closed from the analysis. A comparative analysis of clips in these directions reveals in detail the relationship of external symbols, attributes and text with the deep content of a piece of work, which meets a wide emotional response in society, in particular among young people due to the coincidence of the experiences of a performer and a listener. Rap is a way of forgetting, avoiding a neurosis or a way of solving and accepting a problem as a part of life experience.
