Can anyone suggest me some SSCI journals in Politics or International Relations or wider that are relatively easy and fast to publish?
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Viola Tsing,
Finding SSCI journals in Politics or International Relations that are both relatively easy and fast to publish in can be challenging, as it often depends on the journal’s scope, review process, and the quality of the submission. However, some journals are known for their faster turnaround times and openness to a wider range of topics. You might consider journals like Global Governance, International Politics, or Foreign Policy Analysis, as they cover broad areas in international relations and politics. Additionally, Review of International Studies and The Hague Journal of Diplomacy might also be worth exploring.
I recommend checking each journal’s website for specific submission guidelines, acceptance rates, and average review times. Also, networking with peers in your field or contacting editorial teams directly can provide insight into their publishing process.

Take a look at this article when you have time, it has the founding theory behind a series of articles on the structure, working, and dynamics of exism movements born inside liberal democracies ausing effective targeted chaos to induce full true majority complacency as the point of original entry, and then while in power focus attention on dismantling democratic institutions and the rule of law to remain in power in case they fail to sustain effective targeted chaos permanently,,,and normal democratic thinking keep making the original mistake since 2016 UK, THINKING THEY ARE COMPETING AGAINST ANOTHER NORMAL DEMOCRATIC OUTCOME,,,And issue I am addressing currently systematically with my series RETHINKING DEMOCRACY....

Answer
It seems you’re expressing a mix of views about Tommy Robinson, Sharia law, and interpretations of Islam. It’s important to consider that discussions around these topics can be complex and sensitive, with a range of perspectives.
Tommy Robinson is a controversial figure who has been involved in discussions around immigration, Islam, and free speech, and opinions about him are deeply divided. Supporters often view him as someone standing up for free expression and safety, while critics accuse him of promoting Islamophobia and division.
Regarding Sharia law, it’s essential to recognize that interpretations of Sharia can vary widely among Muslims around the world. Many view it as a guiding framework for ethical and moral conduct, while others associate it with more extreme interpretations that can lead to harmful practices.
It’s crucial Fatema Miah to differentiate between the actions of individuals or groups claiming to represent a religion and the beliefs of the broader community. Many Muslims advocate for peace, understanding, and coexistence, emphasizing that the actions of extremists do not reflect their faith.
Engaging in constructive dialogue and seeking common ground can help bridge divides and foster understanding among diverse perspectives.

Answer
The notion of a unified world underpinned by industrial primacy while sidelining commercial interests poses profound questions about the future of global cooperation, the balance of power, and the potential for conflict in an increasingly multipolar world. The outcomes of these dynamics could reshape international relations and influence economic models for decades to come.
The transition from the U.S.-Soviet rivalry to what you're describing as the "era of the Warring States" reflects a complex geopolitical landscape characterized by fragmented power dynamics and the rise of emerging economies. In this new world order, traditional superpower rivalries have given way to a multipolar framework where various nations pursue their own interests, often leading to competition and conflict.
In this context, the concept of a country prioritizing industrial development while suppressing commercial interests can be interpreted through the lens of nationalism and state-driven economic models.
Nations that prioritize heavy industrialization and seek to centralize control over their economies may aim for self-sufficiency and greater global influence. These countries might invest heavily in technology, infrastructure, and human capital, viewing industrial prowess as a means to enhance their international standing and attract global partnerships.
This approach might involve limiting foreign competition, protecting domestic industries, and implementing policies that favor state-owned enterprises or public-private partnerships. By doing so, these nations could aim to create a strong internal market that fosters economic growth and innovation.
As countries pursue industrialization aggressively, the potential for conflict increases. Nations might compete for resources, markets, and influence, leading to tension and rivalry. This competition can manifest in trade wars, military conflicts, or ideological clashes.
In this scenario, countries like China or India could be viewed as potential unifiers in a fragmented global landscape. Their large populations, growing economic clout, and strategic initiatives (like China's Belt and Road Initiative) reflect attempts to assert influence over global trade routes and bolster their geopolitical interests.
The rapid advancement of technology can serve as both a catalyst for industrialization and a factor that disrupts traditional commerce. Innovations in automation, artificial intelligence, and manufacturing processes may allow nations to achieve unprecedented levels of productivity, potentially reshaping global supply chains and economic relationships.

Think about willful academic blindness(ACADEMIC TUNNELING) vrs willful democratic blindness(POLITICAL TUNNELING)....
The first type/academic tunneling seems now normal, taking place at universities, thinktanks, international organizations, governments....which will lead to the death of science in a way that THOMAS KUHN was not expecting, BUT IT IS NOT BEING SEEN AS A THREAT TO THE SURVIVAL OF SCIENCE as it seems we are now in a non-science based world as science or not, they still will push what they want to push.....
The second type/political tunneling is SEEN as an existential threat to liberal democracy as political tunneling does not work under democratic rules just see the political dynamics under political tunneling processes under exism movements like Trumpism....
Hence, willful political tunneling with the support of alternative facts is seen as a serious threat to democracy from within, but willful academic tunneling with the support of alternative academic facts is not seen apparently as a serious threat to science from within, which makes you wonder, why.
And this raises the question, Why willful blindness is taken as a serious threat to the survival of democracy, but not the survival of science?

You have seen the comings and goings now of Trumpism, Brazilianism, and Brexism, 2016 to 2024 and the common theme is why they failed to persist in power ONCE THEY CAME TO POWER. You have seen the direction that exism movements take towards permanent authoritarianism. And you may be familiar with the environment in countries with permanent authoritarianism.
If you look at the evolution of democracy theory since 2016 paradigm shift from normal to extreme liberal democracies in some countries you and you adjusted your previous democratic thinking as now EFFECTIVE TARGETED CHAOS and THE NATURE OF THE COURT SYSTEM IN A CONJUNCTURAL CAUSALITY MODE play a key role. And you compare this environment to the one found in countries UNDER permanent authoritarianism you may see some similarities in terms of necessary and sufficient conditions for them to keep power for ever between the structure of permanent authoritarianism from within and well as from outside.
If you take into account this, then you may be able to see that the necessary and sufficient conditions for permanent authoritarianism to stay in power for ever using this new thinking has technically not changed, it is the same before 2016 and it is now in 2024..

Exism movements since BREXIT 2016 have been described as driven by emotions leading to the idea of Emocracy/Emocracies, but as the social discontent that is usually displayed after exism movements a kind of unexpectedly come to power as traditional democratic thinking is inconsistent with their coming shows is the true majority reaction/true emotions to the realization that the unexpected by the true majority actually has happened. So there are true majority emotions and true minority emotions and targeted chaos is directed at both with different goals, one to reduce the size of the true majority voting power by any means and the other to keep the true minority engaged and overdrive by any means...,Hence, we have the idea of democracy driven by emotions and the other idea of democracy driven by targeted chaos,....And this leads to the question, Why is effective targeted chaos more than emocracy?

Elections are often repeated, usually after several years, but sometimes also after several months. Some mature democrats strongly oppose a repetition of a referendum. Why? Why do they repeat elections?
Relevant answer
Answer
Elections are about filling offices (parliamentary and executive). People and parties filling those offices grow stale or show their competence or otherwise; and other potential officials and parties appear.
So yes, we want them to be accountable to regular (re)election !
A referendum in contrast is issue deciding. Usually either binding (eg constitutional amendment) or at least of such social importance as to warrant the cost of referring to the whole electorate. So referendums are more like a significant bill or motion in a legislature.
Some legislatures prevent a bill, once defeated, being put back to a vote in the same session of parliament. Eg the UK Commons has that rule. But a 'session' is eg just one year.
So yes there is good reason to debate about why a narrow referendum result should 'shut down' an issue for a generation. The rationale is often said to be something like the legal rule of 'stare decisis': where an apex court will not re-hear the same matter for many years after a key decision. That analogy is inexact, as the deliberative nature of judging is sprinkled with the idea that the judges are unearthing the 'best' deep principle to resolve the matter.
A more political analogy is with a contentious social issue under a bill of rights (eg abortion in USA). There the best explanation for not 're-rolling the dice' regularly is that the decision should settle the issue, to allow society to move on. A similar idea of 'finis litium' (battles over law should have an end) lies behind avoiding repeat referendums.

If what happened to Brexit July 2024 is consistent with what happens in the USA in November 2024, then the outside the box theory may have several validating points.

He then asks us to imagine the sailors, all of whom are arguing about which of them should have control of the helm while none have studied navigation. The sailors don't even know that the craft of navigation existed. All of the sailors try to convince the owner to hand over control of the ship to them, and whichever convinces him becomes the navigator, representing a philosopher-king."

She's a virgin (anti-fertility?) obedient to her father-mother Zeus, from whose "mind" she was born, via another godly act of parthenogenesis. Demeter is a much more "measured" goddess, as are the seasons she is linked to "naturally."
Apollo also does not get my vote, despite his priestly philosophical posturing. He's a killer of the feminine in nature (Python, symbol of primitive female), and one thing he doesn't really want to discuss (or perhaps know about himself) is his 19 episodes with lover boys. Yes, boys. Not men.

So through social media, advertising, politics and life in general.
I know the Stroop Effect is a psychological and biological effect but I am interest to search if, and if yes, it can be present in our daily life.
What can this say about the way we interpret and judge politics, for example? Could this be present in our internal judgment of what can be considered good or bad?

Answer
The Stroop Effect, illustrating how conflicting information can delay cognitive processing, is evident in today's culture through various means. In advertising, brands use color-text discrepancies to capture attention and aid memorability. Digital interfaces leverage color-coding for user guidance, where unexpected combinations can cause confusion. Educational tools incorporate Stroop-like tasks to enhance cognitive skills, while traffic and safety signals rely on intuitive color-text alignment to ensure quick, accurate responses. Additionally, psychological assessments use Stroop tasks to evaluate cognitive function, demonstrating the effect's relevance in both practical applications and scientific research.

Your project presents a comprehensive exploration of the concept of reincarnation, blending insights from various disciplines including philosophy, hard sciences, engineering, and softer sciences. The structured approach, delineated in the table of contents, facilitates a thorough examination of the topic, guiding readers through different layers of analysis.
However, it's crucial to ensure that each section contributes cohesively to the overarching argument. While the incorporation of differential equations adds an intriguing dimension to the discourse, it's essential to elucidate its relevance and application within the context of reincarnation.
Moreover, attributing the belief in reincarnation solely to white supremacy is a bold assertion that warrants meticulous substantiation. Providing concrete evidence and nuanced reasoning to support this claim will enhance the credibility of your argument and foster deeper engagement with your thesis.
Furthermore, the inclusion of suggestions for fostering social justice through specific metaphysical frameworks, such as a Universalist Christian Heaven, adds depth to the discussion. Nonetheless, ensuring clarity and feasibility in implementing these suggestions will be paramount for their effectiveness.
Overall, your project exhibits a commendable interdisciplinary approach and ambitious scope. By refining your argumentation, providing robust evidence, and ensuring clarity in your proposals, you can elevate the discourse and foster meaningful dialogue on the improbable belief in reincarnation and its societal implications.

According to different sources consulted, Niccolò Macchiavelli was an Italian philosopher, politician, and writer born in Florence on May 3, 1469. He is often accused of being cynical, but his legacy in political history is significant. Let's look at some key aspects:
1. Political Realism: Machiavelli emphasized the importance of state stability and the need to understand politics as it was, not as it should be. His work "The Prince" is a treatise on power and governance, where he argues that leaders must make pragmatic decisions based on reality, even if that involves morally questionable actions.
2. The End Justifies the Means: Machiavelli maintained that, in politics, the end justifies the means. Leaders must be willing to take drastic measures if it benefits the state or the ruler. This idea has influenced political leaders and theorists throughout the centuries, although it has also been very controversial.
3. His Role in History: Machiavelli was an official of the Florence Republic and held the second chancellor position. Despite not always being successful in politics, he managed to reconquer Pisa in 1509, a vital port for the Florentine republic.
In short, Machiavelli was a keen observer of human nature and a defender of political realism. His legacy endures in political thought and continues to be the subject of study and debate today.

That modern liberalism will still dominate in the US does not mean the country is getting it right globally. The country's think-tanks must learn to work with the aphorism that says :

Respectfully, at least the modern version of liberalism is the natural result of the equality thesis that still acknowledges heritability to further diversity, equity and inclusion. Whereas conservatism directly denies heritability or dodges the question. Also conservatism does less to oppose racial animosity. Hence why liberalism usually wins being both more fair and more sustainable. Also the metaphysics of liberalism(universalist Christianity) are stronger. Plus Universal Eternal Salvation is the most parsimonious afterlife.

I RECOMMEND THINK RATHER THAN TRUST !
Relevant answer
Answer
Trust in various aspects of life can be subjective and context-dependent. Each of the mentioned elements has its own considerations:
  1. Weather:Trusting weather forecasts relies on scientific models and data. While predictions may not always be perfect, meteorological science generally provides reliable information.
  2. The Love of an Enemy:Trusting the love of an enemy is complex. It often depends on the sincerity of their actions and whether there's genuine change in the relationship dynamics.
  3. Compliments of Bosses:Trust in compliments from bosses can vary. Some bosses provide sincere feedback, while others may have different motives. It's important to evaluate the context and relationship with the boss.
  4. Loyalty of a Lover:Trust in the loyalty of a lover is built on communication, understanding, and past experiences. Open and honest communication is crucial for fostering trust in a romantic relationship.
  5. Traffic:Trusting traffic conditions depends on various factors like infrastructure, traffic management, and local driving habits. Traffic conditions can be unpredictable, and it's advisable to plan based on current data and updates.
Ultimately, trust is a nuanced concept influenced by personal experiences, evidence, and individual judgment. It's essential to assess each situation independently and be mindful of potential variations and uncertainties.

Every war and every battle has a long-term effect on the quality of life we live, the quality of air we breathe, and on the sustainability of our natural ecosystem.
So there a time has to come when we will reach a critical point of sustenance, post which any further war will bring catastrophe for every living soul.
So what's you opinion on how far we are from this point of no return?
Relevant answer
Answer
As for the critical point in maintaining conditions favorable for life on Earth, it is possible that it has already been exceeded. The idea that a larger community, or even all people on Earth, will come to a common conclusion and make politically effective decisions that something needs to be stopped and something needs to be started on a global scale is fundamentally wrong, because people are not capable of overcoming the currently existing political structures. The decisions you wrote about could only be made by people in power and in the event of a disaster that directly threatens them. But by then, of course, it will be much too late to avoid it. What is the deepest motivation of people in power is the desire to gain and maintain it, and not some common good serving all people in a given community, in a given country, or around the world. So there is no hope for the future for us, because decisions about arming and preparing for further wars have already been made and the current political structures are capable of doing so. And they are not suitable for actions, at least on a similar scale, to save the natural environment on Earth. I don't know what we should do in this situation. Protests and appeals to politicians do not work. The world is ruled by people like Putin or not much better.

While preparing for my contribution to the Nanotexnology 2023 conference, I have noticed that submissions from researchers affiliated with state universities of the Russian Federation have been accepted for the international conference. This fact implies the sharing of the latest scientific knowledge despite the ongoing war started in 2022. I strongly disagree with this approach, and I personally distance myself from active scientific communication with researchers officially connected to state institutions of Russia. With its criminal activities in Ukraine, Russia is violating fundamental principles of the international community, and also destroying nature with a potentially global impact. Scientific communication that ignores this fact supports the technological progress of the state that destroys human values in general. Out of respect for the many Ukrainian scientists who have fallen victim to this war, I firmly reject the active transfer of scientific knowledge to scientists affiliated to Russian state institutions as a matter of principle.

Since 2022, scientific publishing sanctions have been applied in response to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. Most reputable Western publishers, though earlier declared to be beyond politics, supported one side of the conflict with unprecedented banning manuscripts from every Russian institution, that is, every Russia-based scientist. Only Chinese and some other non-Western publishing houses remain open for scientists from Russia, but these publishers (such as Hidawi, MDPI, Frontiers) are regularly accused to be 'predatory' by the Western competitors. Is it admissible and compatible with the fair play principles?
Relevant answer
Answer
It is not appropriate for scientific journals and publishers to involve themselves in political matters. As scientific publishing is expected to be impartial and objective, it is not acceptable for publishers to take sides in any political conflict. Such actions can undermine the credibility of the scientific community and compromise the integrity of the publishing process. Scientific research and publishing should be based solely on the principles of academic merit and peer review, and should not be influenced by political considerations. It is important to maintain fair play principles and adhere to ethical standards in all aspects of scientific research and publishing.

"What is the Commonwealth of Britain?
The Commonwealth is an association of countries across the world. Although historically connected to the British Empire, any country can apply to be a member of the Commonwealth, regardless of its intersection with Britain's colonial past. The Commonwealth consists of 54 countries, including the United Kingdom.14 May 2023" From internet...
Relevant answer
Answer
The United Kingdom does not have a formal leadership role within the Commonwealth of Nations, commonly known as the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth is an association of 54 member countries, including the United Kingdom, that are predominantly former territories of the British Empire. Each member country is considered equal and sovereign, with no hierarchical structure or formal leadership.
However, the British monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II, holds a symbolic role as the Head of the Commonwealth. This role is largely ceremonial and represents the historical connection between the member countries and the British Empire. The Head of the Commonwealth does not have any direct political power or authority over the member countries.
In terms of political, cultural, commercial, and touristic relations, the Commonwealth provides a platform for member countries to engage in various forms of cooperation and collaboration. It promotes dialogue, shared values, and mutual understanding among member nations. The Commonwealth offers opportunities for diplomatic exchanges, trade agreements, cultural exchanges, and other forms of engagement.
While the United Kingdom does not have a formal leadership position within the Commonwealth, it holds influence as one of its prominent members. The UK often plays an active role in Commonwealth activities and initiatives, and its historical ties and global standing contribute to its influence within the organization.
It's important to note that the Commonwealth is an evolving organization, and the dynamics of its interrelation in political, cultural, commercial, touristic, and other senses can vary over time and depend on the specific circumstances and priorities of the member countries involved.

Since 2016 we have come to see that liberal democracies under majority rule can lead to normal democratic outcomes/normal democratic movements; and extreme democratic outcomes/extreme exism movements like Brexit, Usexit/Trumpism, Brazilexit, Italianexit….and so on. We have come to see also that exism movements cannot be in power forever under majority rule and the independent rule of law based liberal democracies. As the world view of a normal liberal democracy is the inverse of the world view of the extreme liberal democracy, this leads to the question: Inverse reality and exism movements: How are they linked?
Any ideas? Please share your own views.

Answer
Dear Omobhene, thank you for taking the time to write.
If you know the core values of normal liberal democracies you can find the core values of extreme liberal democracies/EXISM MOVEMENTS just by inverting them, which means that they are the inverse opposite, which explains why the competition between normal democratic outcomes and extreme democratic outcomes during election or reelection may not follow traditional prediction tools.
So inversion provides the link normal liberal democracy vrs extreme liberal democracy and this give you an idea about the expected antidemocracy front and the expected anti-exism front, but not many politicians know that yet.

Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Dr.Taher,
People today expect cities to be livable, cultural hubs with sustainable lifestyles. Interest in urban planning and development is growing in this setting. This curiosity has given rise to a new perspective on the goals and operations of cities. Cities should be enjoyed more as "culture havens" than as just places to live. To fulfill these desires, cities can be developed and renewed through cultural planning. Cultural planning has been a concept for more than 30 years, and many city planners are familiar with it. The goal is to involve locals in the planning process of how they want their cities to be, rather than just creating spaces where people can display art or host other cultural activities. Speaking with residents of the city or region where cultural planning will begin will help with this. In order to better understand the local cultural environment, this fosters cooperation between local residents and communities. Urban social innovation strategies, among other things. Interactions between citizens and cities are at the heart of everything. All members of a community will participate in the development of their city under this model, but the process will mostly be cultural rather than political. In order to improve living conditions, people from various political perspectives can come together. This actually occurs, and individuals have come together at the local level in their desire to better people's quality of life.

In the United States, another culture war is flaring up around encyclopedias.
Under pressure from liberal activists, the popular Merriam-Webster dictionary changed the definition of a woman. This is now an individual who has the opposite gender identity of a male.
By itself, characterization through negation is already original. It cannot be determined otherwise in the era of the deconstruction of the cultural foundations of society. No wonder even Biden's candidate for the Supreme Court at the hearing stated that she was not a biologist - and therefore did not know who women were.
Another war has unfolded around the term “recession”. Wikipedia began to feverishly make changes, until they completely removed the presence of two consecutive quarters with a fall in the economy from the definition of a recession. Just to help Biden deny the fact that the US economy has already fallen into recession for a longer time.

You will also receive data from your country/institution in order to deploy it in further research. The detailed dissemination plan will be finalised later according to the interests of international partners.
If your time is limited and do not allow you to fully join at this moment, we would kindly ask you if you could motivate and share a link with your students to fill out the questionnaire (please, do see a message and a link for students below) and we will be happy to provide you with the data/result/report for your institution.

This is my first opportunity to read your response to my question(s) because I had to work on several manuscripts, in case you are wondering, (1) a theoretical paper on Sacajawea as the matriarchal leader of the United States of America; and (2) East-West influences on Derek Walcott, the 1992 Nobel Award Winner in Literature, the first African American to win it, which blazed a pathway for Toni Morrison, in 1993 the first African American woman to win a Nobel Prize in Literature. If I had been here, I would have thanked you for responding to my request to define "outside of the box." However, it is true that my question, or rebuttal and supporting timeline, with regard to your assertion of what you posited as Trumponomics' dependency on warfare has remained unanswered.
I apologize in advance if there is another delay. Today's email brought a request that I revise a manuscript I wrote a couple of months ago and submitted for consideration for publication as a refereed journal article, which tries to argue my case for the multifaceted depiction of Capitalism in a classic film by Hitchcock, in which I also attempt to indicate ways in which the film coincides with the ideas of Newton, Einstein, Darwin, Freud, Marx, and Veblen. Needless to say, there is a good deal of generalized topical material, which makes a study like this quite vulnerable to (constructive) criticism, for which I am grateful.
I am still interested in knowing whether or not you still hold the view that what you call "Trumponomics" is inextricably bound together with a wartime economy, or have you changed your view?

I have been been involved in journalism for the majority of my adult life, both as a talk radio host, but later also despite my aversion as a child as someone who writes articles, mainly in the sphere of politics and business for different outlets. During my radio days it was almost a natural law that if you covered a political event you had a guest from academia. This is something that has changed.
Today political commentators who are non academics and also not very neutral ( CNN, Fox etc) has taken over the role of the political scientist as the expert in the field.
Academia had a natural place in society for centuries but as of lately political and societal forces has undermined the legitimacy and the authority of academia and science it self as an institution. Former president Donald Trump is often seen as the first "Post truth president", a truth with modification perhaps. In the political arena, far right parties has challenged the very role of science in society and replaced it with spinn. Facts and counter-facts are words many of us have gotten used to as well as alternative facts, reminding us of the scientific streams that claims that there is no objective truth.
Why do you think this is? what are the implications and how can academia make it self relevant again? ( If it is not). Perhaps academia is losing its position as an institution?
Best Wishes Henrik

For academics, this leaves a somewhat-muddied role in society and students' lives. As a student, an academic is not only a mentor but a guide through the various areas of our subjects of study, and this often means working with material typically seen as less pertinent to current society.

Do you think it is worthwhile to try to apply the scientific method to questions of politics? After all, the social world is a messy place and we are never going to reach conclusions with certainty, like the laws of physics. What are the pros and cons of trying to “scientifically” study a subject that is almost inherently subject to different interpretations?

Hi Dr Zin Mar Khing . Since politics is taught in universities and colleges then it is a science by itself . So anything from politics especially the questions should be treated scientifically to have the best results .

The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic has changed a lot in our daily functioning. The pandemic increased the scale of digitization and Internetisation of remote communication, economic and other processes. The pandemic gave hope for an increase in the scale of implementation of the sustainable development goals, for an increase in the general social awareness of pro-environmental and acceleration of the pro-environmental transformation processes of the classic economy to a sustainable, green circular economy. Unfortunately, not much has changed in this regard so far. On the other hand, people will follow the rules and recommendations of anti-pandemic and sanitary safety to a greater extent. The pandemic also changes the sectoral structure of the economy, because during the pandemic, some companies and enterprises operating in some, mainly service sectors of the economy, recorded a decrease in revenues from the sale of services and / or products, and others, operating mainly in some production sectors of the economy, recorded an increased interest of customers in their offer. and profit growth.
Greetings,

Daily news from all around the world are feeding fear because we hear a lot about death, control, containment-mechanisms and suffering accoring to COVID-19. Following the media we see a lot of "important" people saying "...we need more security, more prevention… we have underestimated that Virus" - And smilingly in fear the we accept measures which may be helpful for prevention for one thing but harmful for our souls on the other hand. Prohibition to meet at the playgrounds for children, prohibition to connect each other, stay togehter in hard times and strongly not to touch each other and many more. Even cashless payment and within this total loss of finance liberty is discussed in political rounds…
So what can we do?! We need a logical but also heartful and soulful handling and very urgent a respectful handling of COVID-19 otherwise the biggest damage will be the loss of humanity!

Religions are an important part of the cultural richness of the society and they should be respected. However, those working in science may face questions about it, as the tenets of some religions have been claimed to be against modern scientific evidence.
How do you feel about it? Do you see inconsistencies? Do they cause you unrest? Or do you have a way to reconcile science and your religion?
Thank you for sharing

An Augustinian monk, the Austrian Abbot Gregor Mandel (1822-1884) found time beyond his spiritual and administrative duties - admittedly with the help of assistants - to devote himself to the study of botany, especially peas. Forgotten for a long time - fame and recognition came long after his death -, even because of the discrediting of some of the results of his research, today he is considered the father of "genetics".

Big tech is constrained by the political environment in which they operate, locally and globally.
If the world is divided between democracy and non-democracy given current capitalism dynamics, we should expect big tech to face fewer constraints; and therefore enjoy more business stability under democracy than under a non-democracy, and this should expected to affect future globalization trends. Which raises the question, Democratic capitalism vrs non-democratic capitalism: Is this the end of true globalization?
I think, perhaps yes and perhaps no. What do you think?

In a liberal democracy, there is a free market, and in a free market big tech has the freedom it needs to maximize profits even when their actions are not socially and/or environmentally friendly. Big tech can spread easier around the world in countries under liberal democratic structures as the risk of expanding and operating freely there is technically small, rarely futile, than in places where there are non-liberal democracies where the risk of operating freely is very high, even futile.
Usually democracies have been defended by ordinary citizens during elections, not by big tech, but since 2016 and more after the covid19 pandemic big tech has taken a bigger role as it has been expected by their costumer to do so to promote and protect democratic rights using their economic muscle, specially the right to vote/participate, as the case of the USA shows.
Now it seems to be that big tech has realized that profits are more secure the better democracy works, and profits are more at risk when democracy is at risk or when there is no democracy or when democracy ends. They seem to know now that the stability of freedom of operation and expansion is directly related to the freedom that comes from operating under a true democracy.
In other words, current dynamics seem to show that true democracy to succeed needs the support of big tech and big tech to continue to succeed freely needs the support of liberal democracy.
If acting in a coordinated way, big tech can have a huge impact on the political systems inside which they work, be it democratic spaces or non-democratic spaces, which raises the current question, true democracy and big tech, do they need each other now more than ever to succeed locally and globally?.
I think yes, what do you think?

Characteristic postmodern society information capitalist economy that is, the so-called speculative economy which is imbued with neoliberal ideology whereby most states democratic arranged except the USA where liberal is present politically arranging. A society in which we live it is also post-industrial in which agriculture and industry are losing the role they once had. In fact, not correct to say that these two sectors go out, but the service sector has already gained importance in which it opens a vast number of jobs, while in the previous two we have a considerable reduction of the same. Economic globalization enabled the transfer of production units from developed countries to underdeveloped countries where employees do the same job as their colleagues for 8 to 10 times fewer wages. Globalization processes have affected all world societies, not only society Western Europe and the US but also the rest of the world.

I am interested in doing a quantitative analysis of voter turnout in multiple Canadian student unions (a sample size of about 80). Elections in these organizations are held annually. Would three election cycles (for example, 2019-2021 elections) be a long enough study period for an article or should I include more years in the analysis?
Relevant answer
Answer
I believe the 2019-2021 timeframe is enough. The legal framework must provide efficacious procedures and remedies for protecting electoral rights at all stages, including voter registration, parties and candidates, resource allocation and access to the media, campaign activities, voting, counting, tabulating and declaring results.

Brexit is finally done. It will leave the UK poorer
TRUMPISM set a war of tariffs with other countries making US citizens poorer, including the supporters of exism, as they have to pay more to continue consuming those goods...
But being poorer both is Brexconomics and Trumpconomics as a result of exism means being a winner as exism is the goal, no matter the cost, loyalty is to the exism is the rule, not to the country....
Which leads to the question, Are there only winners in the world of exism? What do you think?
