In 2020, Black Lives Matter protests following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis captivated the United States and the world at large, with people of color demanding an end to police brutality and racial inequality. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. recognized the right to vote as foundational to equality in a democracy. Racial inequality is exposed by purportedly partisan gerrymandering efforts that amount to Black voter dilution. Gerrymandering creates a winner-take-all game in which the majority rules, but the process is rooted in housing segregation policies initiated in the 1930s that concentrated Black Americans into specific neighborhoods and expressly excluded from certain neighborhoods indicated by redlining on city planning maps. This case study utilizes tenets of Critical Race Theory to interrogate the effect of racism on political representation in a gerrymandered congressional district in Colorado.","PeriodicalId":324930,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 3rd World Conference on Research in Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128797744","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}

Oases agriculture is one of the most vulnerable primary industry to climate change and human activates. Central Asia is one of the arid regions highly vulnerable to water scarcity. Located in Central Asia, Kazakhstan is characterized as a semi-arid region which includes dry steppe land in the south. Agriculture carried out in this area is typically oasis farmland with water taken from local rivers used for irrigation. During the former Soviet Union, irrigation projects were widely carried out to expand agricultural land, and large-scale irrigation projects were created in several areas. Therefore, many irrigated farmlands were abandoned due to the collapse of the former Soviet Union. However, China's investment in Kazakhstan agriculture is cultivating once abandoned agricultural land and developing new oases agricultural land. China's \"One Belt, One Road\" project has led to urbanization along railroads and highways, reducing the area of agricultural land. Meanwhile, China is also developing new agricultural land in this region. These two are acts that contradict each other. Our study area of Zharkent (Panfilov) Region is located on the border between Kazakhstan and China, is a semi-arid area and has been cultivating corn by irrigation from the Ili River and the Usek River for many years.

The process of globalization in any society is influenced by the culture, lifestyle, politics, economy, etc. of that society. For this reason, the term \"globalization\" has taken on different meanings. Scholars consider globalization to be an irresistible and harmless force for the economic and social well-being of people around the world, and on the other hand, they see it as the cause of problems and issues for contemporary people and criticize it. In this article, with a functionalist approach, we examine the effect of globalization from Wallerstein's perspective on social development in the two societies of Sweden and Iran as two developed and underdeveloped countries, relying on statistics and indicators in several specific areas. Studies have shown that the factors under study in the functionalist approach are related to each other and also influence each other. The most important factor is the political factor that affects and shapes the economic, cultural and social structures of any society.","PeriodicalId":324930,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 3rd World Conference on Research in Social Sciences","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124878416","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 problem, dealing with Covid-19 vaccination campaign, has become extremely urgent recently. It has spontaneously launched a severe emotion-charged societal response in the world community. The society has split into two oppositional categories according to vaccination status principle. This article is aimed at providing of an in-depth look at three types of discourse (medical experts’, political and social media discourse), in order to figure out the essence of a new unprecedented type of discrimination which hasn’t been registered in the society before the Covid-19 pandemic. The analysis of social discourse rhetoric on the matter of vaccination offers a clue to understanding of the reasons of protesting movements as a result of societal response to discriminatory governmental actions, such as mandating of vaccination for certain categories of people, imposition of limitations for unvaccinated people, fees and even imprisonment, which amounted to human rights violation. Theoretically, vaccination status discrimination has proved to be a specific social phenomenon characterized by a unique set of features, which is extrinsic to a stereotyped mode of discrimination, reported in sociolinguistic research.","PeriodicalId":324930,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 3rd World Conference on Research in Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129457651","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 proliferation of online environments making up the shared virtual worlds now dubbed the ‘metaverse’ is bringing us one step closer to this vision. By applying Foucault’s six qualifying requirements of a heterotopia to this largely ungoverned digital realm, it becomes apparent that the illusory nature of the online environments users inhabit makes them heterotopic in nature. This in turn asks how these non-places should be governed, financed and regulated or indeed whether their virtual nature precludes them from these ‘real life’ (RL) constraints. Furthermore, the amount of time and effort invested in these blockchain-powered metaverse environments and the construction of virtual identities to inhabit them – running the gamut of online social networks, gaming, commerce, blogs or otherwise – lends credence to the relative importance of these environments in comparison to RL interactions. The Heideggerian concept of Dasein can subsequently be applied to the metaverse and its heterotopic nature to question larger concerns at play regarding the essential nature of personhood and relationships within the metaverse.","PeriodicalId":324930,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 3rd World Conference on Research in Social Sciences","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121178232","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}
