A lot of reasons are connected with that: way of communicating (how to communicate interaction of media education with new technologies) with pupils and/or students (knowledge and the skills of the youngsters and/or youth about new technologies are sometimes higher and more comprehensive than the knowledge and the skills of the teachers and professors); media (il)literacy; lack of understandings from the educational authorities (or lack of their education about it as well) about the importance of linking media education and new technologies in the post-modern world; lack of creativity by the teachers in regards adequate presentation of the importance of connecting and interacting of media education with new technologies and vice versa, although it is also connected with the motivation connected with a position of the teachers within the society – underlining the social position of the teachers and/or professors and as well the ethical issues connected with the ways of the modules of communication; lack of innovations related to the way of linking of media education with new technologies – social media as a model of deliberative democracy within the process of media education and a lack of knowledge about the advertising the connection between media education and new technologies – the art of persuasion. This paper will show also the disadvantages of new technologies within the process of media education, especially if not used in pedagogical and didactic methodical way of the interaction of media education and new technologies to understand it as a "software" and an "hardware" of the creative and innovative world of humanity of the XXI century.

In this article author analyzes the development of local government as one of the foundations of the constitutional system of the Russian Federation. This institution has a serious impact on the entire history of the state, and is especially important in today's society. however, there are a number of features of local authorities today. Based on the analysis the author proposes a number of measures to harmonize the existing legislation. Practice has shown that the local government as an institution of direct democracy and public participation in addressing important issues are extremely important, but still not enough to effectively functioning in our country. In any country the ability of local authorities to effectively perform their tasks largely depends on how they are organized. With regard to the mechanism of local government, first of all, means the creation of an appropriate system of local self-government, the development of these structures, the establishment of competence of each of them, selection and placement.

The majority of the world's population now live in urban areas and the 21st century has been declared as the "urban age". However, closer inspection of where people live in cities, especially within so-called advanced liberal democracies such as Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, reveals that most people live in different types of suburban environments. Drawing together scholars from across the globe, this book provides a series of national, regional, and local case studies from Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States to exemplify the diverse and dynamic nature and importance of suburbia in 21st century urban studies, city-building, and urbanism. This book explores the evolving social, physical, and economic character of the suburbs and how structural processes, market dynamics, and government policies have shaped and transformed suburbia around the world. It highlights the continuing importance of the suburbs and the suburban dream, which lives on albeit under increasing challenges, such as the global financial crisis, structural racism, and the Covid-19 pandemic, which have given rise to various suburban nightmares

"This unique textbook explores the complex topic of social class, explaining the many psychological nuances of class and classism in people's lives as subjective and phenomenological experiences. Social class can be a deeply personal, complicated topic that is often frustrating and uncomfortable to discuss, and as such has often been a blind spot in teaching and academic literature. For the first time, Noonan and Liu look to address this in one comprehensive text, using a combination of first-person narratives, academic approaches to class, and psychology's contributions to the subject. Across seven chapters, the book introduces a highly accessible theoretical model of the psychology of social class, Liu's own Social Class Worldview Model (SCWM-R). Using vivid autobiographical texts to bring the theoretical model to life, the authors show how our worldviews develop through interactions with our social class and economic environment, and provide a unique array of methods and skillsets to help incorporate the model into teaching. Each section of the book guides the reader through core concepts in the area, from socioeconomic factors, social structures, poverty, race, racism, White privilege, and White supremacy. Featuring activity suggestions, discussion questions, and writing prompts to help apply theory to real-life narratives, this is the ideal resource for students and instructors across psychology, sociology, health economics, and social work, as well as anyone taking courses on examining social class"--
