THE REGULATION OF THE NEW MEDIA AND THE “ROAD TO SERFDOM”

Author(s): Alexandra Lucia Teodorescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

Keywords: New media; censorship; regulation; freedom; post-truth era; panopticon;

This paper investigates current attempts to regulate the new media (digitised electronic communications),especially in the context of privacy issues emerged in the case of Facebook, and its effects on freedom ofspeech and freedom of thought. Based on the theoretical framework of the Austrian thinker Friedrich A.Hayek, we will discuss the political implications of government control over social platforms and theeffects of this kind of regulation on political responsibility of governors. Tracing back to Étienne de LaBoétie, we discuss and apply his argument that people have the tendency to enslave themselves. Goingdeeper into the analysis of the Panopticon supported by the new media, we identify the consequences ofthis paradigm on the notion of truth. We analyze the concept of post-truth and explain the relationbetween democracy and security of the social corpus. Furthermore, the new media as structure ofcommunication tends to create „truth bubbles”, „echo-chambers” in which different groups enhance theirown identity and seem to live isolated from other groups, thus contributing to the atomisation of societies.This is the ideal framework for the raise of dictatorship and generation of „truth discourses” convenient tooppressive regimes.

THE EVOLUTIONIST ROLE OF RELIGION; SOME ARGUMENTS

Author(s): Viorel Rotilă / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

Keywords: Evolutionism religion; religious package; survival strategy; adaptive strategy; evolutionary advantage;

In this article we analyze religion from the perspective of a stage necessary in the evolution of humanity,contributing to the birth of society, to the creation of specific dimensions of the human mind prior to theemergence of philosophy and then of science. We explore the possibility that mental religious resortshave facilitated the transition from group to society: the existence of a set of mental instruments that canbe called the "religious package" has provided integrative meanings and goals, mediating the transitionfrom small groups to large societies, from hunters-gatherers to agriculture and sedentariness. We bringsome arguments for the state of religion of social survival strategy: through the cooperation it establishesin the multiple plans of human existence it favours the groups with the highest degree of coherenceSeveral evolutionary advantages of religion: generates predictability through the systems of humanclassification and ordering of the possible relationships among the peers (social context stabilization),namely of ordering reality (cosmos), shaping existential models. Religion is an explanatory system ofreality and normative for human existence, while ensuring the social framework necessary foroutsourcing, thereby facilitating the development of the mind. Religion is an integrative meta-narrative: itis a reference framework for integrative narratives (contexts that make the meaning possible) that reducethe pile of information that invades the mind to some schemes of understanding. Religion could be themost appropriate example of geno-cultural co-evolution, clarifying this assumption being attemptedthrough an appeal to anthropological and neuro-science research

SOCIAL PERSPECTIVES OF YOUNG STUDENTS ON THE CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Author(s): Ovidiu-Dănuţ Soare / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

Keywords: social perspectives; religious education; church; school;

In today's European social context, freedom of opinion and expression, the social problem of religiouseducation in Romania is widely debated, not only in social and political environments, but also inacademic ones. The many pro and against attitudes highlight the importance of this issue, both for theRomanian society in general, and for the Church and the School in particular. The two institutions, theChurch and the School, are active in the social, cultural and educational space of Romania. On one hand,through the multitude of joint programs, which are carried out at the level of the two institutions, and inwhich young people are involved; and on the other hand, through the presence of a qualified and activeteaching staff in the field of religious education.Being aware that educational institutions have aconservative side, attached to the past, but also an innovative side, anchored in the present, we presentthis exploratory study that highlights the different social perspectives young students have on religiouseducation, the presence of the Church in their lives, and the ways in which these perspectives can improvethe religious educational approach, the relationship between the youth, the School and the Church, andthe ways in which they can all benefit in their social life

THE DECLINE IN LIFE EXPECTANCY IN THE UNITED STATES: SOME CAUSES AND POTENTIAL REMEDIES

Author(s): Gerard Weber / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: life expectancy; opioids; obesity; suicide; pharmaceutical industry; food industry; firearms;

Life expectancy in the United States declined in 2015 for the first time in nearly a century, a trend that continued in 2017. This paper explores three central reasons for this reversal: a spike in fatal opioid overdoses; the long-term public health implications of overweight and obesity; and an uptick in suicide. The causes behind each of these are considered. Increased fatality due to the consumption of narcotics is linked both to practices of the pharmaceutical distribution industry that have made opioids widely available and to broad transformations in the US economy over the past forty years that have generated chronic insecurity in many people‟s lives. Multiple reasons for the overweight and obesity epidemic are presented, including changes in people‟s work lives as the US economy has shifted from manufacturing to service employment; advertising and widespread availability of unhealthy food; and influence of industry on national policy governing the food supply. The troubling spike in suicide is attributed in part to the relative ease with which people in the United States are able to gain access to firearms and bullets. The paper concludes with some suggestions on how this decline in life expectancy can be turned around.

MARCUS AURELIUS – A POSSIBLE PARADIGM FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PHILOSOPHICAL COUNSELLING

Author(s): Ion Cordoneanu / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: MarcusAurelius; self-concern; stoicism; philosophical meditation; philosophy as a way of life;

In “To Himself”, Marcus Aurelius prescribes a set of moral rules for his own use, a kind of "daily accountof life" for self-concern. Self-concern is the attitude by which the individual shapes his self and whichinvolves both a way of being characterized by reflection on the self and a series of practices by which theindividual takes care of himself, trying to change, purify, to turn to achieve the rectitude of his moralactions. In this paper, I will show how Stoic self-concern is, from the perspective of philosophicalcounselling, an important instrument used in philosophical practice, being conceptualized as aphilosophical meditation and re-grounding the premise of discovering philosophy as a way of life.

THE IMPLICATIONS OF WITTGENSTEINIAN CRITICISM OF CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS FOR THE ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT

Author(s): Kadir Kılıç / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: Anselm; conceptual analysis; language game, meaning; ontological argument; Wittgenstein;

argue that Wittgenstein‟s criticism of conceptual analysis sheds light upon methodological issuesconcerning the ontological argument. Though Sidiropoulou provides a Wittgensteinian analysis of theontological argument, nobody has yet pointed out how methodological insight from Wittgenstein‟srejection of conceptual analysis provides the ground for Wittgensteinian analysis of the ontologicalargument. In Philosophical Investigations, Wittgenstein defends that the idea of language games providestools for the rejection of a unified conception of meaning in language, and thus of the thesis of conceptualanalysis that meaning analysis is formed by necessarily true statements. His arguments for familyresemblances attack to the idea of conceptual analysis that meaning analysis is in the logical form of abiconditional which is universally quantified. Wittgensteinian points on first-/third person asymmetry isto reject the idea in conceptual analysis that meaning is analyzed a priori by the apparatuses of logic. Allthis discussion is applicable to questions concerning the evaluation criteria of the ontological argument.Firstly, when the Christian-Medieval language game is characterized on the basis of its function andgrammar, how conceptual analysis of God and analysis of statements like „God exists‟ in an ontologicalargument, in isolation, goes wrong is clarified. Secondly, since this religious lamguage game is dissimilarto descriptive/factual language game in the sense that the function of the former is not to describe anyfact, rather it is the awowal of faith; the application criteria for sentences in the form „x exists‟ are not thesame with that. Thirdly, similar to pain-language game, it requires a community to make sense themeaning of God, thus forms of life are prioritized. The implication is that, in a Wittgensteinianframework, an interdisciplinary methodology should be followed to evaluate the ontological argumentthat does not make any sense in abstracto.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION OF THE DANUBE AND ITS EARLY PUBLIC HEALTH POLICIES, 1856–1860s

Author(s): Constantin Ardeleanu,Alexandru Drăghici / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: European Commission of the Danube; history of medicine; international organisation; seamen hospital; cholera;

This paper analyses the context in which the European Commission of the Danube (ECD), aninternational organisation created in 1856 to improve navigation along the Maritime Danube, started toimpose its own public health policies in the Danube Delta region. It established two hospitals and drafteddetailed quarantine regulations meant to balance free navigation and sanitary precautions. The authorsrefer to the organisation of ECD‟s hospitals, how commissioners dealt with their funding, selectionmechanisms for medical staff and the need to build proper medical facilities. The paper also touches onthe moment when in 1865 Sulina was ravaged by a cholera epidemic and the local hospital was put togood use. Eventually, through a Public Act signed by the seven commissioners in 1865, the ECD wasconsolidated as an international organisation and the hospital became a reputed medical centre forhundreds of international seafarers, ECD employees and inhabitants of Sulina, who used the services ofthe first hospital created by an early supranational institution.

BEST PRACTICES IN THE TEACHING AND LEARNING OF THE FABLE USING THE WALDORF METHOD

Author(s): Maria-Gabriela Drăghici / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: fable; waldorf school; alternative system; teaching; learning;

Waldorf education is an alternative education system which brings out pupils’ qualities, which are definedas cognitive-emotional skills and capacities, as well as artistic talents, in order to neutralise/combatnegative states stemming from harmful emotional experiences. Teacher Janet Lansbury claims that thereis no such thing as a bad child; there are just adults who are insufficiently informed, as well as mentallyand emotionally unprepared to cope with the manifestations of the new generation of children. TheWaldorf school attempts to solve these issues and provide the system with an alternative based onunderstanding divine creation by starting from the physical elements encountered in nature. Theprimordial existence of the child in the universe and his/her arrival into the world constitute the basis ofthe emotional manifestations he/she experiences throughout life. Moreover, subjectively judging a childby permanently harbouring negative thoughts leads to such thoughts being unconsciously conveyed to thechild by the adult, as the human brain possesses the capacity to transfer impulses through the sphere ofthe universe. The traditional education system has registered minor changes by adopting alternativepractices in order to encourage wellness among pupils. That is why, in the present article, we have set outto document the observations made following a German language lesson at a state school in Bucharest, alesson focused on teaching and learning a fable based on the ideas of the Waldorf alternative educationsystem.

(UN)QUESTIONABLE USE OF ANGLICISMS IN ROMANIAN COMPUTERESE

Author(s): Iulia Veronica Cocu / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: Anglicisms; information technology; borrowings; vocabulary;

In recent years, due to the fact that, on the one hand, English has become a lingua franca ofcommunication, being all-pervasive in fields such as economics, business, IT or medicine and, on theother hand, to the fact that technology has evolved at a very fast pace, new specialised terms haveemerged in order to accommodate this rapid change, which more often than not do not have equivalentsin other languages. The present paper is intended to present the influence that English has had over thespecialised terminology in the field of computer science, focusing on the English language as a primarysource for a great number of lexical and morphological innovations in the Romanian informationtechnology-related vocabulary. The paper will demonstrate that, although the use of Anglicisms may bethe only solution due to the untranslatability of the specialised computer science terms in some cases,there are also instances in which the respective terms can either be translated or have a phonetically andorthographically adapted Romanian equivalent. The conclusion of the study is that the Romanianlanguage displays a natural general disposition towards adopting and adapting borrowed informationtechnology terms to the detriment of their perfectly functional Romanian equivalents. Most often, thetranslation of the specialised terms occurs when the respective word is used by and widely known to thegeneral public, whereas the very specialised English terms are adopted as such when they refer to specificbranches of IT.

BREXIT FRAMING IN BRITISH MEDIA

Author(s): Oana-Celia Gheorghiu / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: Brexit; media; manipulation, framing; immigration; discourse analysis;

2019 brings about fiery debates and endless questions about the United Kingdom‘s current and futurerelation to the European Union. An important aspect is whether the United Kingdom should or should notorganise another national referendum regarding membership in the European Union. It is, nevertheless,equally important to identify the causes and reasons that led to the vote in favour of Leave in the 2016referendum, widely known as Brexit. It is contended here that the British media played an important rolein shaping the citizens‘ options, imposing themselves as actors in the construction of a sociologicalphenomenon with serious effects and consequences. Combining the linguistic and cultural perspectives,with scientific tools from the domain of Discourse Analysis, this paper will look into several relevant proand anti-Brexit views, as presented by important British newspapers to the wide public, tracing theirarguments and the way in which manipulation was achieved on both Leave and Remain sides.

CONSIDERATIONS ON THE HUMAN BODY

Author(s): Liviu Nedelcu / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: human body; artistic culture; visual representation;

Texts, language, communication should always be considered in their social context. Texts do not merelyThe article starts from the premise that the human body is the most complex synthesis of our artisticculture. The iconography of the body reflects the philosophical and ideological development of cultures,whereas its history shows the extent to which aesthetic and legal motivations, emotions and institutionsare connected. In order to prove this point I considered mandatory revisiting the main epochs in whichsignificant changes were produced in the visual representation of the human body. The different mannerof rendering the body in art depends on social, political and religious contributions which underpin notonly a peculiar style in depicting the human body but also the production of a specific way of seeing, asart organizes and describes our perception field. This allows one to trace the shifts in representing thehuman body and to grasp the meaning behind them, in order to get a glimpse of the main historicalperiods. The research focuses on several epochs: Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance, neo-classicalperiod, nineteenth and twentieth centuries and the changes the human body suffer in the manner it isdepicted but also in the way it is perceived. The exhaustive attempt in addressing the representation of thehuman body throughout centuries is also motivated by the fragmentary relationship the contemporaryindividual has with the past, sustained by a here and now attitude, having its roots in the avant-gardemovements of the twentieth century.

CHRISTIAN ASCESIS: THE AXIS OF HARMONY OF SPIRITUAL LIFE

Author(s): Marin Bugiulescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: asceticism; perfection; divine grace; purification; illumination;

This article presents a very important topic that aims at the balance of the spiritual life, namelyasceticism. Asceticism is the state developed by the divine energies that sustain man's spiritual progress.A believer, the more he practices on the path of doing good, the better and more virtuous he will become.The more he seeks to eliminate sin from his being, the purer and godlier he will become. This exercise iscalled in spiritual language: asceticism. Man is a reality of divine harmony, but we must keep in mind thatthis gracious presence cannot be expressed conceptually because it belongs to a transcendental,metaphysical reality. Therefore, Christian asceticism refers to the acquisition and perfection of life inChrist. In this endeavor man is not left alone. God's grace helps him to achieve the state of holiness, ofperfection.

Author(s): Ionuţ-Alexandru DRĂGHICI / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: https://doi.org/10.26520/mcdsare.2020.4.137-141

This paper analyzes the European Commission of the Danube (ECD) attempt to provide its sanitaryvision, on a modern basis, in an unhealthy area. The need to impose a public health policy at the mouth ofthe Danube was given by Sulina's position as the gateway to Europe, subject to intense transit thatbrought with it mobility of the disease. Doctors Jellinek, Vignard, Petrescu Hagi Stoica, were some of thepillars that formed the basis of the formation of this health policy, which through their work andobservations, made Sulina has known worldwide, not only in commercial importance but also in health.The epidemic waves, but also the doctors' findings, led to the construction of adequate medical facilities.Starting with 1878, after the involvement of the Romanian authorities, combining the social model withthe medical one, a series of measures are adopted, which confers a new dimension of public health at themouth of the Danube

TOWARDS HARMONIZING COMMUNICATION OUTWARDS AND WITHIN. AN ON-GOING SHIFT IN PRAGMATICS AND DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

Author(s): Daniela Şorcaru / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: communication; barriers; manipulation; pragmatics; discourse analysis;

Considering the current international context, where everybody is affected by the Sars-CoV-2 pandemicand its economic, social and psychological implications, communication has been subjected to complexchanges at all levels, that go far beyond what we have managed to understand so far. Nowadays, in thesetroubled times, obstacles in communication are the norm rather than the exception, often resulting inalienation, anxiety, depression and a deep sense of loss. Loss of what our lives used to be… Loss of theself… This is why, once the impact of this new reality has more or less settled in, we need to worktowards harmonizing communication in this new world we are living in. As linguists, we are witnessingan on-going shift in pragmatics and discourse analysis, as we should acknowledge the emergence ofcomplex verbal and non-verbal dimensions to personal and professional communication, where fear ofcontagion is constantly lurking in the conscious or subconscious background. Special focus should be laidon schools and the entire educational process, with electronic platforms and online teaching/learningcausing additional stress to all parties involved (teachers, students, and families of both categories). Wehave already discovered that the lack of proper human interaction, or the diminished state we areexperiencing it in, is literally impossible to replace or fully make up for. Now, we must understand thatharmonizing communication must be a top priority, particularly if we need people to stay fully-functionaland keep education, society and economy running.

THE FIRST EDUCATION LAW IN ROMANIA AND THE EFFECTS OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION

Author(s): Cristina - Mirela Barabaș / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: education law; principle of gratuity; principle of obligation; primary education; secondary education; educational structure;

In modern Romania, the legal protection of the right to education has played an important role in theactivity of government, parliament and political parties in general. A turning point in defining the nationaleducational policy was the elaboration of the Public Education Law in 1864. By expressing the ideal ofthe revolutionary generations of 1848, this law addressed the principle of free and compulsory primaryeducation. The progress of the Romanian society depended on applying this principle. On November 25,1864, Al. I. Cuza enacted the Public Education Law, the first law to provide a unitary learning system forboth principalities. The provisions of this law extended to both public and private educational institutionsand regulated education at all levels (Bârsănescu and Bârsănescu, 1978). The fundamental principles ofthis law are: unitary and mandatory character, gratuity, and as a premiere in our legislation, equal accessto education regardless of gender (Legea instrucţiunii publice, 1864, Art. 31).

GENDER PERSPECTIVE OF IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AMONG YOUNG ADULTS

Author(s): Natalia Gabatiuc / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: impression management; gender perspective; public image; presentation strategies;

As a relatively new research topic in local context, the study of the impression management strategiesamong young adults from the gender perspective is relevant both theoretically and empirically. Thetheoretical significance lies in the need for a comparative analysis of classical and recent studiesconducted in various countries. Empirical investigation is of interest especially from the perspective ofgender study of the phenomenon to identify and compare impression management strategies, used byyoung men and women in various contexts and interactions in the local environment (interpersonalrelationships, workplace, organizational or public space), thus, we find this research actual as it wouldprovide a better understanding of the strategies that young men and women use in to create a favourableimage of themselves in various social contexts but also to suggest intervention for a better impressionmanagement of the public image in various social contexts by young adults and not only. Although at theinternational level, there are several studies analysing impression management strategies, at the nationallevel, such studies are a few. In this sense, the studies carried out abroad served as conceptual support inthe elaboration of the empirical approach carried out in the present research. Given the fact thatimpression management strategies are quite varied, we start from the premise that we will identify notonly the strategies used in various social contexts but also differences in their manifestation and intensity,between men and women

THE BEGINNING OF THE UNIVERSE AS AN EPISTEMOLOGICAL FRONTIER- LEMAÎTRE TO GAMOW

Author(s): João Barbosa / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: Epistemological beginning; Georges Lemaître; George Gamow; Ontological beginning; Origin of the universe; Limit of scientific knowledge;

It was in 1922, when Alexandre Friedmann proposed some models for cosmic evolution, that modern cosmology faced for the first time in a scientific way the problem of the origin of the universe. It was the inaugural step of the big bang cosmology (usually known as the Big Bang Theory), to which several important cosmologists contributed over the following decades. Among these cosmologists, there were two who played a special role: Georges Lemaître, who proposed the primeval atom theory, and George Gamow, who later assumed the hot and dense primordial state of the universe which contemporary cosmology continues to admit. In this paper, I present and compare the perspectives of these two great cosmologists towards the idea of the beginning of the universe as an epistemological frontier, that is, as an unsurpassable limit to the physical knowledge of the universe, namely with regard to an explanation of what caused this beginning and how the primordial universe had come into existence. Both cosmologists assumed that the beginning of our universe is located before everything that physics can achieve, but we can identify one important difference: according to Lemaître, the beginning of the universe is located before space and time, and we can admit that is an epistemological beginning and also an ontological beginning; according to Gamow, the beginning of our universe may have been the result of a preexistent cosmological state of the universe which is just inaccessible to physics, and therefore is not an ontological but just an epistemological beginning.

THE CONCEPT OF THE SOUL IN PLATO AND IN PATRISTIC THOUGHT

Author(s): Marin Bugiulescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: soul; perfection; body; Plato; Christianity;

This article is focuses on Plato's conception of the soul, through which man as a psycho-physical being, lives with the perspective of immortality. The pre-existence and immortality of the soul is in fact the basis of Platonic philosophy. Plato presents the existence of the soul in the Phaidon Dialogue starting from the hypothesis that something called the soul has existence in the form of pre-existence and post-existence and has an intelligible nature, similar to the structure of Eidos (Ideas). The second part of the research considers the transition from ontology to metaphysics, focused on a different perspective given the patristic thinking in which man is created in his divine image, as a personal being composed of body and soul, a synthesis of the intelligible world with the material.
