    THE INTERNET AND SOCIOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AMONGST STUDENTS IN R.MACEDONIA
    (2017)

    Zoran Matevski
    Evell though in the recent past there was a strollg resistance agaillst "the intr1lsion " of the internet ill the autonomy of the existing educational institutions, recently the educational institutiolls are adapting and using the internet and the contemporaJY telecommullications technology. Taking into consideration that .I'll/dying is in fact a process of tram/erring siglls and working with and 0 11 those signs, we can conclude that there are points of contact betweell the education institutions alld the internet. We are 0 11 the verge of the biggest changes in the area of communication. That can be seen throllgh the larger and larger influellce of the internet on the educational process. The interne! "feeds" the people with new ideas and worldviews, which are destroying the traditional conventions. The traditional is boring and the educational institutions are in a position of defence becallse of their inability to follow the trend of change. The institlltiol1al teaching of sociology is abandoning its monopoly in creating sociological knowledge, 110W when the illternet commllnication has greatly improved the traditional teaching process. The internet serves for providing kllowledge of the cOlltemporary reality, while classic teaching is responSible for the tram/er of the inheritance accumulated from tradition. The two systems of creating sociological knowledge need to function as conditions for competition creating doubt and contradictions ill the minds of the students. This killd of teachillg creates conditions for activating all of the creative potentials of the stlldents, which become active subjects ill the studying of sociology. Because of that, the request for a reform of the education system in all levels is set as an imperative.

    EHNICS AND RELIGIOUA IDENTITU IN THE SOCIALIST FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA
    (2018)
    Dushka Matevska
    Socialism as a political system, based on the supreme authority of the party, and relying on collectivism, tried to wipe away every difference between the social groups in the SFRY. Marxist ideology had a generally negative attitude towards religion, which led to the weakening of the religious identity in the population of Yugoslavia. On the other hand, the creation of the Yugoslav nation obstructed the development of the ethnic identity to a large extent. Consequently, the state identity was maximally intensified in the citizens of the SFRY. An above-national society with no state religion was formed. With this, the principles of ethnic and religiOUS tolerance were practically implemented, relying on the brotherhood and unity of the peoples and nationalities, as its highest ideals.

    In this text wc will try to answer the question which factor influence the building of religious identity. It is a known fact that argumentation and proof isn't necessary lor true t11ith, but what is crucial to someone becoming religioLls? Is it t1111lily or tTadition, school or the means oCmass cOlllmunication? Who influences rd igious ident ity bui Idi ng') r Iow is rei igious identity formed? Is rei igiosity something inherited by trndition or gained with experience. The term religious identity, like any other identity, contains an association to something, as well as disassociation to so!nething else. Religious identity is a specific form of identity concerning religion and the religious. It i s characteri zed with a belonging to a certain group, which finds its contents in religion. One of the main Factors inl'luencing religious identity building and its maintemllice is the process of socialization, while family stays a primary factor and source of religious beliefs and values. Parents who are members of a religious community raise their kids to become members of said cOlTlmunity. This is why many soc iologists agree that among the many sources ofsocialization, family is onc ot' the IllOst important, bccause it aft-eels people at their youngest, where family has almost exc lusive control on these most important years of human development.

    THE MACEDONINA DIASPORA IN OVERSEAS COUNTRIES: FROM ETHNIC IZOLATION TO TRANSNATIONALISM
    (2018)

    Members of the Macedonian diaspora are comfortable in, and have a sense of belonging in both Macedonia and Overseas Countries, with both countries featuring strongly in their personal identity. It is clear that transnationalism is a prominent feature of Macedonian life. The duality of Macedonian identity is also manifest in their language use and skills, with high rates of fluency and literacy in both Macedonian and English. Use of Macedonian clearly reinforces Macedonian identity. This in turn facilitates access to Macedonian media, which itself further reinforces the Macedonian element in the person's identity. These show that there are a number . of means by which the Macedonian diaspora is reproduced. These include a high number of visits to the homeland, family ties and regular communication between thecountries. Engagement in this contact reinforces knowledge, care and identification with R.Macedonia. What is also evident is that the main driver of the diaspora's relationship with the homeland is strong family ties. This primarily explains visitation, communication and the emotional concerns and empathy. It is often the extended rather than nuclear family that ties the diaspora to the homeland, and as such the nature of the family unit and its status within Macedonian culture is arguably the most important driver in maintaining a diaspora-homeland relationship. Ties with Macedonia may be weakening for younger Macedonians born in overseas countries. This is evidenced by lower levels of engagement and identification than those born overseas, and a diminution in the depth and nature of ties is likely. This means that other models for engagement between this younger overseas born diaspora and the homeland are necessary if these ties are to be maintained. Social media is one obvious tool that can be effectively utilised for this purpose.

    ОПШТЕСТВЕНАТА УСЛОВЕНОСТ НА РЕЛИГИОЗНОТО СЛИКАРСТВО ВО Р.МАКЕДОНИЈА

    Art and society exist in parallel as two different, but not separate realities. The research of the social character of art is mostly geared towards determining the social pulse that is expressed through works of art as a determining and constituent element. The work of art itself exists and acts in an unbreakable bond with at least three other basic elements: the author of the work, who even though is her own individual, still lives and acts in the context of certain social relations; the medium, or the "matter" through which the work is realized; and the consumer of the work of art. In the religious painting in R. Macedonia, the Christian Orthodox Church is the Imain censor in the choice of the themes and the ways in which they should be-spatially and stylistically fitted into the sacral objects. It has to be shown in a recognizable way so that believers can get closer to god. However, every attempt to experience religious content through painting is at the same time a risk that its absolute and mystic nature will be lost. When god is presented in a physical form, there is a risk of idolatry. The believer admires the beautiful instead of respecting the holy. In orthodox Christian art, the visual communication of frescos and icons are not so much an artistic experience as an ethical act. The meaning of religious art is to show the spiritual beauty of the inner world, not the outer beauty of the visual form s. When viewing an icon or a fresco, a layman might see a wrinkled and tortured face of some saint, but the believer discovers its spiritual beauty. The frescos and icons do hot just represent the Holy Scripture through paintings, nor are they just decorations for sacral objects. They are a manifestation of holy meanings, by equally meaningful as the holy words and rituals. The fresco and icon painters draw perfectly clean lines and apply certain colors, but in fact, they assemble sentences and write messages.

    THE ROMANI IN THE MACEDONIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
    (TRAKYA UNIVERSITY - EDIRNE, 2018)
    Dushka Matevska
    Education is an individual right and necessity in modem society. Education has, value in itself, independently of the economic value it brings to the individual, or the lack there of, because it enriches all individuals and it enables meaningful orientation in the world. The analysis of the Macedonian educational structure shows that half of the population that is 15 or older doesn't possess or possesses a low level of education. It is especially concerning that we have a larger percentage of illiterates in rural municipalities and municipalities where certain minorities such as Albanians, Turks and Romani dominate, Macedonia, as a multiethnic society, has defied the rights and freedoms or the national minorities in article 48 of the Constitution from 1991, according to which, they have the right to freely express, nurture and develop their identity, as well as the right to tuition in their native language in primary and secondary school. However, the tuition in their native tongue isn't implemented equally for all minorities. Primary school education, which is compulsory in Macedonia, has tuition in Macedonia us well us Albanian. Serbian and Turkish, while the Romani population is far from realizing their right to tuition in their native language even though they are the third most numerous minority in Macedonia. From all the present minorities, only the Turkish populace has secondary school tuition in their native tongue, despite the fact that the 2007 changes to the law of secondary education implemented compulsory secondary education to all citizens, with equal opportunities. In this paper we will try to detect the reasons for the low achievements and high dropout rates of Romani children. According to the State Statistical Office a small percentage of enrolled Romani children finish primary school. There are many obstacles they face which make it difficult for them to succeed in our education system, The combination of poverty and a specific subculture keeps the Romani populace in the "magical circle of poverty" . The low level of education and vocational training lower the chances of successful integration in society and leads to higher vulnerability and discrimination, Macedonia shouldn't rely on passive or repressive measures to include Romani in the educational process but should develop a strategy of positive measures that will bring education closer to the Romani people. Till now, the Romani people had to adapt to the way of life of the larger communities. where the proper help wasn', offered even though they are the poorest and most vulnerable community. Special attention needs 10 be paid to the tradition and values that are nurtured ill Romani culture, and a way to strengthen education as a ",due .md coveted goal in Romani culture needs to be devised,
