Marriage is a kind of relationship that takes place in human life. A marriage takes place depending on the respective culture and tradition of a particular group of people living as a society. This is a process that takes place all over the world according to their circumstances. These circumstances reveal the prosperity of their cultural practices. In this case, the marriage ceremony of the tribes living in the Yelagiri hills of Tirupattur district depends on the old customs and traditions. This article goes to apply Richard M.Dorson’s folk cultural aspect theory to know the methods and record the marriage system as an essential part of these tribes.

El presente artículo toma cuerpo en el contexto socioambiental actual producido por el modelo civilizatorio hegemónico neoliberal, cuyo renovado extractivismo persevera en el despojo y la mercantilización de la vida humana y no humana, sometiendo las relaciones sociales, económicas, ecológicas y políticas a la lógica del capitalismo más voraz. En el reparto de las reestructuraciones neoliberales, las tareas de cuidado de las mujeres en todo el planeta han sido imprescindibles, puesto que, constituyen una de las dimensiones fundamentales de la sostenibilidad de la vida, es decir, de la reproducción social y ecosistémica. A pesar de ello, estas tareas han sido ignoradas y excluidas por el propio sistema patriarcal, colonial y capitalista mediante la invisibilización tanto de los sujetos que las realizan como de la interrelación e interdependencia ecológicas que caracterizan nuestra relación con el mundo. Desde este diagnóstico, el colectivo boliviano Mujeres Creando maniobra una visualidad descolonial, que proviene de una memoria ancestral siempre reactualizada, por medio de diferentes prácticas artísticas y culturales que reponen el cuidado en el centro. Tanto para enfrentarse al sistemaneoextractivista que se presenta como la panacea del desarrollo y la modernización en los países del Sur como para la reivindicación y consecución de una serie de derechos humanos y de ciudadanía. This paper takes shape in the current socio-environmental context produced by the neoliberal hegemonic civilizational model, whose renewed extractivism perseveres in the dispossession and commodification of human and non-human life, subjecting social, economic, ecological and political relations to the logic of the more voracious capitalism. In the distribution of neoliberal restructuring, the tasks of caring for women throughout the planet have been essential, since they constitute one of the fundamental dimensions of the sustainability of life, that is, of social and ecosystemic reproduction. In spite of this, these tasks have been ignored and excluded by the patriarchal, colonial and capitalist system through the invisibility of both the subjects that carry them out, and the ecological interrelationship and interdependence that characterize our relationship with the world. From this diagnosis, the Bolivian collective Mujeres Creando maneuvers a decolonial visuality, that comes from an always updated ancestral memory, through different artistic and cultural practices that restore care in the center. Both to face the neo-extractive system that is presented as the panacea of development and modernization in the countries of the South, and for the claim and achievement of a series ofhuman rights and citizenship.

Culture and religion are two important parts of human life that are highly emotional. People do everything to protect, defend, and keep their cultural and religious heritage no matter how primitive others may think it is. Failure to recognize the religious and cultural worldview of a people in the evangelization of such society often leads to a conflict of allegiance. This study is a critical appraisal of the Scottish missionary activities among the Efik people of Old Calabar, Nigeria. The effect of neglecting these cultural elements that would have acted as a bridge to the full acceptance of Christianity among the people was neglected. This rigid attitude was challenged by the emergence of some Independent African Churches that came as a substitute for the mission churches. The need for a new perspective on the interaction of culture and religion is therefore required if the world is to survive the current global religious conflicts.

Cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as humiliate the dignity, are prohibited in most countries of the world, and Russia is no exception in this issue. The article presents an analysis of the institution of responsibility for torture in the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that the current criminal law of Russia superficially and fragmentally regulates liability for torture, in connection with which the author formulated the proposals to define such act as an independent crime. In the frame of modern globalization, the world community pays special attention to the protection of human rights, in connection with which large-scale international standards have been created a long time ago. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international acts enshrine prohibitions of cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as degrade the dignity.Considering the historical experience of the past, these standards focus on the prohibition of any kind of torture, regardless of the purpose of their implementation.

The article discusses the meanings of life and value priorities of the post- Soviet society. The author argues that, at present, there are symptoms of a global ideological crisis in the world, that the West does not have its own vision of where and how to move on and has no understanding of the future. Unfortunately, most of the post-Soviet countries do not have such vision as well. In these conditions, there are mistrust, confusion, paradoxical manifestation of human consciousness. The main meanings that determine our life-world are: the desire of citizens for social justice and social security, the desire to figure out and understand the basic values of modern society, how honestly and equally the authorities act toward their fellow citizens, and to what extent they reflect their interests. The meanings of life, which are the answers to the challenges of the time, are embodied in the cultural code of each nation, state. The growth points of new values, which will become the basis for the future sustainable development of a new civilization, have yet to be discovered in the systemic transformative changes of the culture. In this process, the emergence of a new system of values that governs human life is inevitable. However, modern technology brings new troubles to humans. It has provided wide opportunities for informational violence and public consciousness manipulation. Nowadays, the scenario that is implemented in Western consumer societies claims to be the dominant scenario. Meanwhile, today there is no country in the world that is a role model, there is no ideal that others would like to borrow. Most post-Soviet states failed to advance their societies to more decent levels of economic development, to meet the challenges of the modern information age, and to provide the population with new high living standards. Therefore, in conditions of growing confrontation, we should realistically understand the world and be ready to implement changes that will ensure sustainable development of the state and society without losing our national identity.

The article deals with the fundamental, inherent in most of the countries of the world transformation of state power, its formation, functioning and division between the main branches as a result of the decentralization of such power, its subsidiarity. Attention is drawn to the specifics of state power, its func- tional features in the conditions of sovereignty of the states, their interconnec- tion. It is emphasized that the nature of the state power is connected with the nature of the political system of the state, with the form of government and many other aspects of a fundamental nature.It is analyzed that in the middle of national states the questions of legitima- cy, sovereignty of transparency of state power, its formation are acutely raised. Concerning the practical functioning of state power, a deeper study now needs a problem of separation of powers and the distribution of power. The use of this principle, which ensures the real subsidiarity of the authorities, the formation of more effective, responsible democratic relations between state power and civil society, is the first priority of the transformation of state power in the conditions of modern transformations of countries and societies. It is substantiated that the research of these problems will open up much wider opportunities for the provi- sion of state power not as a center authority, but also as a leading political structure but as a power of the people and the community. In the context of global democratization processes, such processes are crucial for a more humanistic and civilized arrangement of human life. It is noted that local self-government, as a specific form of public power, is also characterized by an expressive feature of a special subject of power (territorial community) as a set of large numbers of people; joint communal property; tax system, etc.

Abstract Island studies play an important role in the development of anthropology. It is of academic value and practical significance to understand the island world as the field where multiple modernization forces and globalization interwine. This paper explores the intricate and diverse connections between continental and marine culture from a perspective of “viewing the world through the island”. In terms of overall diversity and exoteric mobility, this paper reviews the various aspects of island studies, examines the internal and external transformation of islands within land-sea interaction, and analyzes the dynamic historical process of the island world’s involvement in the global network, which blends and integrates various cultural elements of the external world. In the context of globalization, the island world is undergoing dramatic changes and in coping with them generating its new features.
