Background: Israel is a land of immigration – a multicultural society with a mosaic of different cultures. There are four maim ethnic groups in Israel: "Sabre" (born in Israel), Arabs, Russian, and Ethiopian. The main aim of this article is to present the connection between two main issues: Culture Diversity and the Attitudes of Israeli parents to children with Learning Disability (LD). This article stems from a deep and extensive dissertation research on parents' attitudes toward their child Learning Disability in Israel and it is an outline of the research study. Family: The resilience and strength of the family depend on the social, cultural and personality of the family in general, and parents in particular. The parents play a crucial role in facilitating and maintaining wellness in children with developmental disorders. Learning Disability: Today, in the modern world, in the information era, when processing information skills are necessary in everyday life, Learning Disability turn into a widespread phenomenon. Learning disability is a general term that refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders manifested in the acquisition and operation of attention, speaking, reading, writing, or mathematical abilities. Within the Hebrew students in Israel (years 2013-2014), 10.10% are diagnosed with learning disability. In summary, due to the fact that Israel is an immigration country, it is vital to research the implication of parents' attitudes toward their child Learning Disability for the wellbeing of the family and the society.

Mother Child Relationship

Ours is a time of dramatic and confusing transformations in everyday life, many of them originating in the social enfranchisement of women that has occurred over the past twenty-five years. Sociologist Arlie Hochschild demonstrates a widespread phenomenon of work-family imbalance in our society, experienced by people in terms of a time bind, and a devaluation of familial relationships. As large numbers of women have moved into the workplace, familial relations of all sorts have been colonized by what Virginia Held critically refers to as the contractual paradigm. Even the mother/child relationship, representing for Held an alternative feminist paradigm of selfhood and agency, has been in large part "outsourced." I believe that an Arendtian conception of speech and action might enable us to assert anew the grounds for familial relations. If we require a new site upon which to address our human plurality and natality, the postpatriarchal family may provide that new site upon which individuals can freely act to recreate the fabric of human relationships. It would seem to be our moral and political responsibility as social philosophers today to speculatively contribute to the difficult yet imperative task of reconfiguring the family. In this paper, I attempt to articulate the basic assumptions from which such a reconfiguration must begin.

The parents of 312 autistic children in Greece, all of them couples, namely 624 men and women constituted the population sample. It was found that compared to Asperger syndrome at least, in cases of an autistic child’s upbringing, the parents’ resilience is more fragile, their stress higher and certainly the social support they receive is comparatively reduced.

This paper is based on research study with the same title. Research is motivated by the existence of Bali as one of the islands in Indonesia, which is rich with various aspects of traditional culture, including a wide variety of folklore. Even Bali is also known as one of the saviors of Nusantara literary texts, especially from Java, Bali, and Lombok stored or written in the form of books or manuscripts (lontar).

With qualitative approach, the text study toward three stories (satua), it was found the classical Balinese wisdom is very important for the students’ character development. Balinese folktales (satua) are also loaded with the Balinese dominant ideology such as Tri Hita Karana, the ideology of patriarchy and ideology of gender. Through perspective of critical education, these values can be utilized as source of social science learning in Junior High School.

Аннотация: Бул макала азыркы мезгилдеги социалдык-психологиялык кызматтын актуалдуу маселелеринин бири болгон Кыргызстанда балдарга карата катаал мамиле жана зомбулук көрсөтүү фактыларынын көбөйүшүнөн улам анын кеңири жайылган көрүнүшкө айлануу коркунучунун алдын алуунун жана зордук-зомбулукка кабылган балдардын укугун калыбына келтирүүнүн мыйзамдуу жол- дорун талдоого багытталды. Бул тема биздин күндөрдө актуалдуу, анткени азыркы дүйнөдө күчкө салуу объектисинин чек аралары кеңейди, радио-, теле-, интернетте балдары бар үй-бүлөдөгү балдарга катаал мамиле жасагандардын саны көбөйгөнүн, ата-энелерине карата сот фактыларын чагылдырууда көрөбүз. Аннотация: данная статья направлена на анализ правовых путей предупреждения угроз и препятствованию превращения ее в широко распространенное явление, а также восстановления прав детей, подвергшихся насилию, вследствие увеличения фактов жестокого обращения и насилия в Кыргызстане, которые в настоящее время являются одной из актуальных проблем социально-психологической службы. Данная тема актуальна именно в наши дни, так как в современном мире границы объекта насилия расширились, охватывая широкий круг слоев и групп населения, включая семьи с детьми, о чем свидетельствуют данные СМИ о жестоком обращении с детьми в семье и судебные факты в отношении их родителей. Abstract: this article is aimed at analyzing legal ways to prevent the threat of turning it into a widespread phenomenon and restore the rights of children who have been subjected to violence, due to the increase in cases of ill-treatment and violence in Kyrgyzstan, which are currently one of the urgent problems of the socio-psychological service. This topic is relevant today, because in the modern world, the boundaries of the object of violence have expanded to cover a wide range of layers and groups of the population, including families with children, as evidenced by media data on child abuse in the family and judicial facts against their parents.
