In this respect, the subject of this paper is the behaviour of social media users (mainly millennials, from the population of university students, attending studies in the field of security) depending on the gender. The aim of the research is to identify recommendations for a safer use of social media. To this end, the research was conducted on the basis of an anonymous survey comprising 15 questions (3 of demographic and 12 questions of essential significance). The survey covered 333 university students (undergraduate and graduate students of both genders) attending study programmes in the field of security. With the use of the Mann-Whitney test, contingency tables, the Kruskal-Wallis test, as well as the Spearman's rank correlation test, it has been established that the behaviour patterns of men and women who use social media are very similar, but that there is a substantial statistical difference in certain scenarios. In addition to this, this survey has shown that, irrespective of the gender, risks of being attacked are consciously taken when sharing personal information, along with a reckless use of devices, passwords, and passcodes. By comparing the above-mentioned conclusions with the position of the general hypothesis: \"There are similarities and differences between men and women in terms of the behaviour patterns on social media and in the cyberspace in general\", so the conclusion is that it is verified. One of the solutions to the identified problems in the behaviour of social media users is to raise their awareness regarding the risks of doing business and/or accessing entertainment content on social media, as well as their continuous training for the purpose of protecting their own data.","PeriodicalId":32231,"journal":{"name":"Socioloski Pregled","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88059043","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}

The authors analyze the selected period of the transformation in Russia based on the concept of S. Huntington, considered the most adequate theory of democratization. The authors attempted to answer following questions: what changes occurred during the \"Perestroika\" process initiated by M. Gorbachev - unsuccessful liberalization for Soviet Russia and \"started\" the Third wave of democratization of the Russian Federation; secondly, what was the specificity of the democratization of the political system during the presidency of Boris Yeltsin; and lastly, when the retreat from democratization began in Russia. This analysis seems quite sensible due to the fact that it can explain the reasons for the retreat from democracy during the presidency of V. Putin and the construction of an authoritarian state in Russia in the 21st century. In order to verify the hypotheses and answer the research questions, the classic method for the social sciences was chosen (the decision-making, systemic, and case study methods).","PeriodicalId":32231,"journal":{"name":"Socioloski Pregled","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85291474","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}

For religion, we can say that it is the need of every individual in the social community; it is simply a spiritual need. Both politics and religion prove to be human necessities. Both upbringing and education are also human necessities, while knowledge is in their centre. A reasonable educational system must meet the following conditions: pass on the cultural heritage to younger generations; prepare young individuals to assume some of the operational roles in society; create value awareness and conscience in young individuals; enable the unhindered development of the possibilities of each individual (meaning intellect, morals, culture); provide conditions for the unhindered acquisition and expansion of knowledge about and from religion; provide requirements for acquiring knowledge in politics and democracy (the rule of law, free market of ideas). Without religion, upbringing, and education, society lacks air, pure truths about it. Without religion, upbringing, and education, darkness would move into all of us and build a specific form for itself: we would make a pact \"that binds us to the ninth circle of hell\". Those dark expectations would come true; what we fear most would come true for us. As Šušnjić (1997, p. 18) says, we live in a \"century that has gambled away its human possibilities,\" it is a bloody age. We are witnessing a time when most blood is shed: \"we are losing our heads, while we have plenty of cutthroats\" (Čupić, 2002, p. 18). This is an age of numbers, organizations, violence, even in the educational system; an age in which we have almost lost a clear idea of what we should do, that is, what we want and what we can do.","PeriodicalId":32231,"journal":{"name":"Socioloski Pregled","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75502530","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}

It opines that the irrationalization of the conflict makes non-realistic improvements to conflict that loses its previous ontological features, attachment to a geographical, cultural or political location, and the goals that it manifests acquire an existential character. The author concludes that only the return of the conflict to the basic state of the conflict of interests is able to connect peace initiatives with the real interests of all parties again.","PeriodicalId":32231,"journal":{"name":"Socioloski Pregled","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83678278","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}
