The public opinion has always existed, but its echo and influence has been increased and amplified by the tools of mass communication. The latter have extended the field of their activities from a space and time perspective, by playing a basic role in the development of democracy. The purpose of our research is to emphasize the fact that the role of media, that is, radio, television, press and internet is essential to the creation and amplification of the public opinion. The use, misuse and deformation this media imposes on words, image or sound plays a key role in the crystallization of the public opinion. To dwell on this influence and explain it in practice, we have brought forth a survey conducted with the faculty students, the youngest users of these media

An important component of the approach that we have initiated is the study on employment and labor relations in the European Union through the chapter " Employment Policy in the European Union". The crystallization of the European efforts in the field of employment was due to social policy crisis that has manifested especially in the mid- '90s, when unemployment reached over 10 % in the European Union, with a significant impact on social policy. The modernization of the economies and the manufacturing technology has led to the emergence of surplus labor which has necessitated the development of new strategies to boost employment in the EU, the involvement of local authorities in the creation of new jobs, but simultaneously with the establishment of a financing instrument for this process: the European Social Fund, the issues presented throughout this paper.

Disturbances and dislocations at the subsystems mean the major effect of the imbalances systems at the level of education, as a result of this topic in the past few years in comparison with other European indicators. One of the most powerful effects for the crisis on education systems has been given by the decrease in financing education (primary, secondary, tertiary and university education). Therefore, Romania has recorded a drop in sequence of GDP ( Gross Domestic Products), by default low budget and, therefore, the funds intended for Ministry of Education and Research on the financing, as well as investment and on projects. The impact has been one of the most powerful upon the labor wages teaching, investment funds, purchasing etc.Furthermore, related to universities, three-quarters of the universities income comes from the state budget. In this respect, it loosens conclusion that, such negative consequences had a negative impact on the educational teaching quality

The presence of „the difference” in education is a fact sustained by the meeting between educational actors, in terms of negotiation on individual and social values. Therefore learning experiences offered to students have to be constructed in a multifaceted manner. The contemporary society highlights the difference in terms of its potential, rising it up to a principle level in educational philosophy. The cultural diversity in education refers to those structures that sustain plurality, both regarding the functionality of the educational process and the behavior of educational actors, in a genuine perspective of the difference management. The perspective of cultural diversity crosses and reorganizes entire educational area on global coordinates and, at the same time, embraces local specificity in terms of consistency and intensity. That is why we register an increased level of coherency regarding speeches on this theme and the proposed standards, while regarding the theory-practice balance, there are still enough discontinuities.

The price of a product is influenced in its turn affects many variables of marketing during the marketing planning. Price fixing procedure is a marketing decision that involves consideration of three categories of factors, namely: (1) costs; (2) the request; (3) competition. Everything has a cost-this principle expresses the fundamental idea that nothing is free, any action involving a price, time, effort, giving up something in favor of something else when we are in a position to make a choice. Because the individual has more needs than resources, any choice you make involves a certain cost, called opportunity cost.

A judicious analysis of the intuitive didactics implies, in our opinion, the consideration of the idea of dynamic education. In other words, in so far as in the (trans) international system education can be found different ways to approach the levels of teaching and learning assessment, we can only assume that the idea of intuitive didactics proves to be more than necessary in educational activity. Furthermore, the relevant pragmatic of intuitive didactics becomes obvious in the conditions in which theoretical, acknowledged/ taught contents have a correspondent in social reality. The need of intuitive didactics within educational activity is justified to the extent that educational content recovery involves a resizing of the idea of teaching and learning assessment. In fact, such an undergone approach to a rigorous scientific analysis reveals a number of aspects whose meanings and representations may acquire epistemological legitimacy. But, we consider that such a belief is justified under the conditions in which teaching interest focuses mainly on the idea of change/adaptation.
