The purpose of this study is to investigate the motives and conditions for social engagement in community volunteering using one of the regions in Russia as an example. In Spring 2019, 25 narrative interviews with volunteers were conducted. The study discovered the complementarity of moral and rational aspects of volunteering activities, as well as the complementarity of formal and informal volunteering practices that strengthen the capacity of the social welfare sector in the local community. Understanding the wide spectrum of volunteers’ motives, not just altruistic but also pragmatic, has practical importance for the development of community volunteering not only in the local but also in the global context.","PeriodicalId":111542,"journal":{"name":"3rd International e-Conference on Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences: Conference Proceedings","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125244662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His philosophy still has importance over the philosophy of Jewish intellectuals today throughout the world. Jabotinsky is the ideological father and founder of the Zionist Revisionist Movement (from the word “revision” – re-observation) in the Jewish world of the first half of the 20th century. The movement expressed a right liberal ideology, against the ideology of the Zionist socialist movement. Ze’ev Jabotinsky, after his expulsion from Palestine by the British Mandate, settled in Paris in the mid-1920s, where he served as a column writer at the Posaldina Novosti, the most popular Russian exile newspaper in Paris. Dozens of the Russian exile community in Paris at the time knew Jabotinsky, and many of them admired him because of the translations of Russian poetry. In addition, Jabotinsky, who was a publicist by profession, worked closely with some of the members of the “Northern Star” lodge in the Posaldina Novosti newspaper in Paris. As a result of their admiration for Jabotinsky, two journalists from the Russian exiles community (one of whom worked with Jabotinsky in the Posaldina Novosti newspaper), Alexander Poliakov and Mikhail Osorgin, decided to ask Jabotinsky if he would want to be a member of the “Northern Star” lodge and, as a result, to be a member of the Freemason order in France, Jabotinsky agreed.","PeriodicalId":111542,"journal":{"name":"3rd International e-Conference on Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences: Conference Proceedings","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128211766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In its first part it focuses on the elevated hierarchical position of the woman shock worker during the early socialist regime. This ideal of Bulgarian woman is considered in the context of the communist project that tries not only to reduce the elaborate taxonomy of various kind of women to the married hard-working woman, but to equalize and even to merge the figure of the woman with the man in a universal subject of labor that gradually loses the distinguishing features of the sex. In its second part the paper analyses the pro-natal policies of late socialism in Bulgaria. It compares the early communist practices and ideology focused on the ideal figure of woman shock worker with those of the late communist regime oriented towards the favoring of maternity. This accent on the role of woman as a mother changes the emancipatory politics of the regime and ultimately leads to recapturing of femininity of socialist women.","PeriodicalId":111542,"journal":{"name":"3rd International e-Conference on Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences: Conference Proceedings","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128892661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Children living in family deprivation conditions have problems in communication that can be caused both by negative experience and lack of the ability to objectively assess situations, difficulties in differentiating emotions, in predicting their behavior and the actions of other people. Our research is aimed at studying the specifics of the predictive capabilities of orphans depending on the level of their anxiety. The sample consisted of orphans (20 people) and children raised in families (20 people). We discovered the specificity of correlation between the level of anxiety and predictive competence in the general sample of orphan children, which proves that a high level of general school anxiety and the fear of not meeting the expectations of people make orphans form their predictions within a narrow social context, constructing passive position in predicted situations – that is, in their forecasts, children act as passive subjects who are not involved in resolving the situation. The abundance of greats in the forecasts of orphans in the total sample is explained by their fear of the situation of knowledge testing and by general anxiety at school. The specificity of forecasting in orphans with high and medium levels of general anxiety lies in the invariance of forecasts which determines the risk of deviations as well as in the dominance of infantile behavior patterns in predicted situations.","PeriodicalId":111542,"journal":{"name":"3rd International e-Conference on Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences: Conference Proceedings","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121929517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
