In order to be able to fulfill high social mission that the society and the state entrust to the educator, he needs to be a person and a professional. Professionalism, according to the teachers-masters, is something that can and should be studied. One of the means of acquiring professional pedagogical skills is theater pedagogy, in particular acting. Comparative analysis at the level of principles shows that the principles of theatrical pedagogy formulated in the Stanislavsky system are in full agreement with the principles of pedagogical activity. They can serve as a basis for integrating the means and methods of theatrical pedagogy into the professional training of teachers.In addition, it is necessary to develop such qualities of a teacher as humanism, love and exactingness to children, social activity; pedagogical authority based on a broad erudition and moral purity of personality; pedagogical tact; efficiency; tenacity; possession of educational technology; communicative, organizational skills; ability to pedagogical creativity; constant search for optimal ways of solving educational problems; pedagogical sustainability; ability to defend their right to work; responsibility for the cause of upbringing. The theatrical pedagogy can significantly help the formation of these qualities. Teacher's artistry is promoted by erudition, charm, originality, improvisation and style. A special role in the professional training of the teacher is played by communicative competence and the speech of the teacher. To solve this problem, subjects such as“Fundamentals of Pedagogical Excellence”, “Foundations of Acting Mastery”, “Rhythmics and the Basics of Choreography”,“Rhetoric” were included in the educational curriculum of the students training courses.

The study is based upon the representative ottoman historical narratives - the histories of Silahdar Mehmed Aga and Defterdar Mehmed Pasha - in search of typology of social behaviour of the Christian inhabitants of the Ottoman Balkan provinces during the war between the Holy League and the Ottoman Empire in the end of the 17th century . The Ottoman authors whose reports will be analyzed are part of the historiographic direction that presents the military and political events in the Ottoman Empire during the second half of the 17th century. At the same time the chroniclers involve information about the life in the provinces, as a reflection of the war upon the reaya, and its reactions. The purpose of this report is to present the Ottoman viewpoint in the light of Ottoman historiography, as concrete events, happened in the Ottoman rear during the successful advance of the Habsburg forces. From the presented examples, concerning in particular the reaya of Dragoman, will be outlined some conclusions, characterizing the behaviour of part of the non-Muslim population in the context of the specific political situation.

The aim of the paper is epistemological resemblances and differences to be outlined between the views of the Bulgarian philosopher in the near past Ivan Sarailiev, and the specialist in quantum physics and popularizer of science, the Italian Carlo Rovelli. Both thinkers are interested in the principal knowability of the “ocean of the unknown”, in front of which human knowledge is standing. Both of them start from the premise that I call “Hamlet’s thesis”: “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy”.

Basing on the content analysis of 200 texts of the 20th century and on the author’s model of 8 subcultures of the postmodern era, this paper assumes a hypothesis that postmodern consciousness is characterized by egocentrism, tends to a dialogue with the other and to the understanding of him and refers directly to the text and textual reality. In the information era, that is, the postmodern period we are living in, individual forms of egocentric existence in the virtual reality turn paradoxically and relentlessly from isolation to polylogical interactive communications between people both in virtual and immediate reality.The metaphor “thumb generation” is used in the article as a marker of the informational way of living but designates at the same time the phenomenon of rising bodily activity in the informational milieu. The bodily pole counterbalances the informational way of living of new generation in the immediate but not in the virtual reality and involves a person in a special sort of messages to the mankind called flash mobs.

This article examines the way people’s psychology influences the creation of TV news and its contents in terms of meaning and structure without disrupting its state of being authentic, factual and documentary. The analysis is based on people’s psychology factors which create particular models of human behavior related to the individual’s upbringing, intelligence, education and culture. How does this combination of characteristics influence different people’s perceptions evoked by the images on the TV screen and their psychological impact? How does people’s psychology determine the variety of rules in the sphere of information, including the ways it created and distributed? In the article, we are attempting to prove why journalists who work for TV companies should take into consideration the people’s psychology of the particular ethnic group in the process of transforming the events into news. We have examined the methods of creating and distributing TV information implemented by several TV media, such as CNN, BBC, AL-JAZEERA, etc.

The text highlights two main ways in which the television discourse in Bulgaria has unfolded in recent years. The first one is connected with postmodernism, but now it looks retro. The second is the result of the influence of social media and networks on television (digital modern-ism). The interweaving and complementarity between these two main types of television discourse produces effects of nostalgia, thus contributing to the maintenance of conservative myths and status quo.

The aim of this scientific paper is to highlight the role and importance of the sociological method in the study of the law as a specific social phenomenon with its essence and structure-which need to be perceived as one-seeing that the law has both value and normative and social dimension. This stems from the relationship between rights and society, regarding the role that law has in the society and vice versa. As the nature of the object defines the method used to implement the process of research, the law as normatively shaped social phenomenon requires the use of sociological methods to explain the causes of partial or full (non) realization of legal norms in society. The conclusion is that a complex, dynamic, and variable substance and content of the law cannot be studied without the use of sociological methods, which, in addition to numerous methods of studying law, manage to investigate systematically and empirically the functional laws of the legal system as a social phenomenon.

Peculiar features of covering the religion theme in media are considered depending on the press theory, under which a given source of information functions. The publishing activity of “Charlie Hebdo”, a French weekly magazine, is in line with the libertarian and Soviet theories of press brought to the extreme, i.e., information anarchism and extremism. It is argued that the disregard of communication rules, which are generally accepted in other models of press, by the editorial staff resulted in the high conflictogenity of caricatures about Islam published in the magazine. They eventually motivated the terrorist act. The professional requirement for journalists is established, i.e., the need to study the specifics of other concepts of press in order to avoid conflicts.

Immigration experience is a multifaceted phenomenon that presents unique opportunities for combining academic and community-engaged learning in meaningful ways. The present study focuses on the student learning outcomes of a community-based project that was part of the academic curriculum in a large public university in the USA. The research objective of the project was to provide students enrolled in an elective course with the necessary analytical tools for separating the myths from the realities of the immigration experience as seen in works of various genres and experienced in volunteer work for one of the local immigrant and refugee centers. The pedagogical objectives were informed by Jack Mezirow’s transformative learning theory and models of community-engaged learning. The data for the study were obtained from students’ oral presentations and various written assignments (reports, short reflection papers, and a final paper), in which students analyzed works of fiction, films, and theoretical studies of immigrant languages and cultures. The assessment of students’ academic and volunteer work at the end of the semester showed that the students were able to recognize and articulate the complexity and diversity of the immigration experience, to identify and use various strategies in cross-cultural communication, and to formulate long-term goals for active social involvement.

We live in a highly digitized and hyper-bound world in which information is being created, compiled and transferred extremely easily and fast. Technological capabilities are virtually unlimited and, while providing improvements for different aspects of our lives, they tend to pose important issues, especially when they affect the interests of the people concerned. In the field of public healthcare this is highly sensitive. Along with the rapid digitalization of personal information, one of those important issues refers to the actual ownership of health data, especially with the evermore increasing concern on maintaining data privacy. The aim is to analyze modern trends in patient information ownership from normative and ethical perspective. The results reveal three main trends of patient information ownership – public ownership, private ownership and regulations not based on the right of ownership.
