Therefore, some scientific, sociocognitive and neuropsychological research which we refer to in our paper, have been approached from a philosophical perspective. In simple terms, science shows us what i possible and how self-regulation - which includes the function of self-control - works. Philosophy explains why, for what purpose is the capacity of personal self-government important. However, the boundary between the two disciplines is not immovable and impermeable. The philosopher uses and reflects on experience and scientific knowledge, and the psychologist relies on value assumptions and address value issues, as for example: what does it mean to be or become an integrated, mature, productive person. \u0000The terms of self-government, self-control, and self-management, in essence, have the same meaning, but different connotations. The first belongs to traditional philosophical and the others to contemporary scientific discourse. We have chosen as our primary expression \"self-government\" in order to highlight the continuity between the long tradition of philosophical thinking and the latest psychological scientific knowledge on this complex ability. Whether we are observing it from a philosophical or psychological standpoint, we regard self-governance as a prerequisite for all life achievements and virtues. It is not an end in itself, but a capacity that enables the development of other potentials, competencies and skills, as well as the realization of values essential for the individual and society. Self-governance is a component inherent to patience, perseverance, endurance, moderation, fairness, objectivity, decency, kindness, and so on. It is indispensable in education, in negotiations, conflict management, informed decision making, in improving oneself and one's social relations. Just how instrumental the ability to regulate oneself can be is best shown in the fact that it can also serve negative, antisocial goals, when it is, for example, ingrained in calculative, vindictive behavior, in lying, deceit, prevarication, manipulation, and the like. In this paper, however, we are going to be dealing with self-governance as the ability that determines the qualities aimed at personality development where a person is both an individualized and a social being. So we observe self-governance through the prism of virtues modeled after the ancient Greek ethics as skills of excellence in the art of living with others in a community. Community life not only implies, but it is communication. As social beings who actualize their distinctiveness and uniqueness in interpersonal relations and communication, the issue of consciousness and the level of conscious control that we exert over our behavior when interacting with others is undoubtedly one of the most important and fundamental issues of h","PeriodicalId":37164,"journal":{"name":"Komunikacija i Kultura Online","volume":"9 1","pages":"174-205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45824679","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 the introduction, we propose a unified theoretical model to comprehend the idiosyncrasies of prejudice, discrimination, and bullying, in function of the analysis of user-generated Vines related to prejudice, which is presented in the second part of the article. In this study, we posit prejudice as one of the primary seeds of discrimination and bullying, and we then examine its multimodal representations on Vine, a social medium that offers a short-form apparatus for constructing and communicating meaning.

Our empirical study in form of a survey, however, has shown that the L2 speakers – students at the Faculty of philology in Belgrade – do not use them nearly as often in everyday conversations. This study therefore aims to point out the difference in practical use of these three adverbs between native, L1, and non-native, L2, speakers. Considering the importance (and the frequency) of these three modal adverbs in everyday Swedish – including the functions of pragmatic markers and attitude marking – at least nearly proportional use and proper understanding of them by the L2 speakers is of great importance in developing competences and acquiring higher level knowledge in the second language studies of the Swedish language.

The paper aims to critically examine the potential of mobile learning in foreign language instruction, based on an analysis of the findings of a study conducted in 2017 on a sample of 120 students of German language courses at the Goethe Institute in Belgrade. The results of the study, which utilized a questionnaire supplemented with a five-point Likert scale, have been used for and analyzing and summarizing students‘ experiences, attitudes and suggestions with regard to mobile learning, primarily with the aim of improving teaching practice. In order to assess the effects of tablet use on the quality of instruction, a Likert scale was created with indicators formulated on the bases of Meyer’s “The characteristics of good teaching” (Meyer, 2009:17-18). \u0000The paper starts from the following premises: the use of tablets has a positive effect on the quality of instruction and on achievement; students show more interest in educational games and tools that facilitate vocabulary acquisition and structural language patterns practice than in tools and applications that aim to develop speaking or writing skills; in their choice of applications and tools, teachers don’t use the full potential of mobile media for developing all language skills, and the most frequently used tools and applications are those designed to expand learners‘ vocabulary and provide practice of structural language patterns. \u0000The findings have confirmed the hypothesis that tablet use has a positive effect on instruction quality by helping create a stimulating learning environment and more efficient achievement of teaching goals. Questionnaire responses indicated that students perceived the greatest benefits of implementing mobile learning in German language teaching to be rapid feedback, interesting teaching and the opportunity for collaborative work. None of the indicators of good teaching pointed to any deficit in teaching that used tablets compared to teaching without tablets, and students stated they would like to use them either in every class or several times a week, preferably in pairs, as they regard pair work as the most effective. Educational games were rated as the most interesting, followed by vocabulary and reading exercises and culture learning activities. \u0000Respondents suggested that more time should be allocated to exercises for listening, writing and reading skills development, but also to culture learning activities.
