This paper brings some findings from research on the meanings of money from Brazil"s Family Grant Program (Programa Bolsa Família, PBF). The ethnography on which it is based was carried out between 2010 and 2012 in the cities of Alvorada and Porto Alegre. It shows, firstly, that even though it is received in cash, the PBF money is not just an abstract mediator. Rather, access to this kind of money, or to the PBF itself, is accompanied by a series of moral values that go beyond the legal conditionalities that characterize the program. Drawing on ethnographic instances, our discussion highlights some of the key elements of this morality: negotiations around the notion of vulnerability (a central concept for the social workers in charge of enrolling beneficiaries in the PBF), and the different meanings of the PBF money, from the beneficiaries" point of view. This diversity of meanings is presented synthetically in terms of some key domains: money of women and for women; money of children and for children; money interdicted and shameful to men.

Further education of the employees in the field of social work is one of the future challenges. The goals of further education are constantly changing with regard to the changes in society and the requirements of the clients of social services. Social work represents a multidisciplinary conception of the performed work and a continual need for further education. In organizations, further education is implemented through various educational methods, which are also evolving. The article aims to identify which educational methods in the field of social work are preferred, both within the leading managerial positions and within the ones of social workers, and to describe the goals of further education in both groups. The goal was achieved through the quantitative research conducted in both groups – i.e. the managers and the social workers. Using the Survio platform, the research addressed organizations providing social serviced according to the Register of Social Service Providers of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Czech Republic. The results were processed using descriptive statistics, and conclusions were drawn based on the results. The results showed different preferences of educational goals for managers who prefer the expansion of competencies and for social workers who prefer development. Research into the preference of educational methods has found that managers and employees prefer professional lectures, self‑education and Internet resources.

The article describes the history of terrorism, its development, purpose and methods used. It also provides a brief overview of the social significance of the various periods from ancient times to the present. The works of scientists dealing with this issue provide a comprehensive review of the threat of terrorism in society and the main aspects of the spread of terrorism around the world, its negative impact on domestic and international processes, and describe the ideological basis of terrorism. The research topic in the work is the reconstructed meanings and feelings of the concept typical of the epochs under consideration and the procedures and consequences of their perception. The concept does not exist outside of social discourses that work with it for a specific purpose. Therefore, the topic of our attention is the role in this struggle, which has always become a socio-political struggle of various discourses in society, through the interpretation and assessment of certain ideological positions in the social sphere, as well as the conceptual complex of terrorism. From this point of view, the deepest topic of our interest is the social pragmatics based on the discursive strategies of social forces that apply and conceptualize this phenomenon.

O Cinema utiliza de discursos e apelos visuais, dentre outras técnicas de convencimento do espectador, para a representação de realidades propositalmente construídas com a finalidade de contar e apresentar uma ordem cronológica e coerente de fatos e acontecimentos. Abdala (2009) corrobora que a narrativa fílmica desenvolve-se analogamente ao mundo real, ou seja, é capaz de construir e apresentar as forças sociais que interagem entre si, assim como acontecimentos históricos, representando um novo ponto de vista sobre a realidade. Dessa forma, essa pesquisa objetiva caracterizar os empreendedorismos social e cultural, por meio do estudo observacional do filme Saneamento Básico. Os dados foram coletados por meio da observação indireta, referentes aos comportamentos e atitudes empreendedoras verbalizadas e não verbalizadas das personagens do filme analisado. A análise de conteúdo foi utilizada para o tratamento dos dados levantados, conforme Bardin (1997). Portanto, nesse estudo, a percepção dos benefícios gerados pela inciativa empreendedora nos campos cultural e social evidencia a importância do estudo desses fenômenos para o crescimento do entendimento e do fomento ao empreendedorismo no ambiente econômico nacional.Palavras-chave: Empreendedorismo social.

In this way, that research has as objective characterize the social and cultural entrepreneurship, using an observational study of the movie Basic Sanitation. The dates were collected through the indirect observation related to the entrepreneurial behaviors and attitudes, verbalized and not verbalized of the reviewed movie characters. The content analysis were used for the dates treatment, as said Bardin (1997). Therefore, in that study, the perception of the benefits generated by the entrepreneurial initiative in the social and cultural fields shows the importance of the study of these phenomena to the growth of the understanding and the entrepreneurship development in the national economic environment.

The aim of the research is to uncover the obstacles facing the application of the law of protection from abuse, in the face of domestic violence, from the workers' point of view, using the case study approach. For collecting data, the study relied on the interview and simple observation tool. The research community consists of specialized workers in the three cities during the study period, as their number reached (41) employees. The most important results were an increase in the volume of reports of domestic violence and a steady increase, with the total number during the three years (2107, 2018, and 2019), respectively (4748, 25375, and 33085). The results showed that the Social Protection Unit in the three cities plays a good role in handling reports of domestic violence and dealing with them. It also showed the weakness of the work environment in all its details, in terms of offices, devices, electronic system and means of communication, the lack of transportation, the absence of a shelter in Makkah Al-Mukarramah and the need for many cases to enter the home and the difficulty of accepting cases in other regions. The lack of a cadre of social workers, psychologists and administrators, the lack of financial incentives, the lack of a cadre of social workers on par with the psychologists, the poor knowledge of some employees about the role of social protection, the absence of a task guide for the employees, the lack of specialized training courses, as well as the new psychological measures, the female employees assigned to the role observers inside the home are not qualified to deal with cases of protection and social work, the weak role of the authorities in cooperation with social protection, and the lack of awareness of the importance of their work, and the weak response of the police. In light of these results, a number of recommendations were developed to reduce these obstacles.

Insight Into

George Lockhart of Carnwath is best known for his bitter denunciation of the Anglo-Scottish Union in his Memoirs, concerning the affairs of Scotland, first published in 1714. There Lockhart appears as a wholly Jacobite narrator and moralist, passionately inveighing against the iniquity of his peers. Yet we know that his background was not cut from the same cloth as that of his more stereotypical Jacobite contemporaries. Not for him the brooding presence of a Cavalier ancestor ‘martyred’ while fighting alongside Montrose or ancient traditions of loyalty to the Stuarts. Rather, like many Scotsmen after him, he was converted to Jacobitism in the course of the political crisis gripping early eighteenth-century Scotland. From the point of view of the historian studying the dynamics of political commitment the fact that Lockhart falls into this category is a godsend. Uniquely among his Jacobite peers, in the Memoirs and in his many surviving letters, as well as the correspondence and accounts of affairs penned by contemporaries, Lockhart has left the historian a substantial amount of evidence to work on. This article will explore the social and intellectual background to George Lockhart's adherence to the Stuart cause, focusing in particular on the interplay of social forces that shaped his childhood and teenage years, before going on to trace the key features of his understanding of politics and society. Lockhart was not a natural convert to Jacobitism, and the fact that he and many like him moved in that direction merits close analysis. By better understanding why a man like Lockhart embraced the exiled Stuarts we can gain a more general insight into the revival of the Jacobite cause in Scotland in the early eighteenth century.

Conceptual Foundations

The article discusses the conceptual foundations of the development of the general sociological theory of J.G.Turner. These foundations are metatheoretical ideas, basic concepts and an analytical scheme. Turner began to develop a general sociological theory with a synthesis of metatheoretical ideas of social forces and social selection. He formulated a synthetic metatheoretical statement: social forces cause selection pressures on individuals and force them to change the patterns of their social organization and create new types of sociocultural formations to survive under these pressures. Turner systematized the basic concepts of his theorizing with the allocation of micro-, meso- and macro-levels of social reality. On this basis, he substantiated a simple conceptual scheme of social dynamics. According to this scheme, the forces of macrosocial dynamics of the population, production, distribution, regulation and reproduction cause social evolution. These forces force individual and corporate actors to structurally adapt their communities in altered circumstances. Such adaptation helps to overcome or avoid the disintegration consequences of these forces. The initial stage of Turner's general theorizing is a kind of audit, modification, modernization and systematization of the conceptual apparatus of sociology. The initial results obtained became the basis for the development of his conception of the dynamics of functional selection in the social world.
