38. MARGINAL PERSONALITY
marginal personality is a person who lives and participates in the cultural life and traditions of two different peoples. He can never completely break with his past and traditions and cannot be accepted into the new society in which he tries to find his place. He is a person at the border of two cultures and two societies, the values of which can be different.
A marginal person is a product of population migration, those various processes as a result of which a person of a certain culture is forced to master new cultural values, social roles, and a way of life.
Mixed marriages lead to marginalization. The resulting offspring are bicultural by birth. People born in mixed marriages either inherit both cultural traditions, or face the choice of defining traditions.
The loss of a certain cultural and social identity of people as a result of social changes leads to marginality.
Any reorganizations that change the social status, the roles of people, give rise to tension, mental disorders. The loss of former opportunities, the familiar environment increases the anger of a person, gives rise to a feeling of envy towards the more affluent segments of the population.
The process of modernization leads to marginalization, which can also dramatically change the specific social and cultural fields to which this or that individual is connected. Modernization can drastically change the mechanisms of socialization and the set of cultural values, which can also cause a culture shock. Contact with another reality can also lead to problems, its misunderstanding.
But marginality also has positive aspects.
Often it serves as a stimulant for the development of the creative abilities of the individual, helps to enrich her inner world. Combining elements of different cultures can lead to enrichment of the individual.
The cultural outlook of a person is expanding - he learns about the existence of other cultural values, other religions and political views, learns tolerance for norms of behavior and habits that often contradict his own.
It should be emphasized that few outcasts manage to overcome their psychologically split state. They are not always successful, not everyone manages to master a new profession at the same level of professional skill as the previous one.
Most of the marginals remain in a transitional state.
In conditions of intensive interaction of cultures, knowledge about another culture is required, the ability to adapt to a different cultural environment.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven
09.05.2024
Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship
08.05.2024
Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Loneliness shortens life expectancy
27.04.2024
Social connections play an important role in our lives, but how does the lack of them affect longevity? Researchers from Japan, a country with a high life expectancy, have turned their attention to this issue and presented new results confirming the detrimental impact of loneliness on our health and life expectancy.
Recent scientific work by Japanese scientists has shed light on the impact of loneliness on life expectancy. It turned out that loneliness not only increases the risk of developing various diseases in older people, but also shortens their life in general.
Loneliness has long been considered a risk factor for various diseases, especially in older people, who often face intellectual decline and other age-related problems. New research confirms that social interaction is critical to maintaining health and longevity.
Experts have found that lonely older people live on average 3-5 years shorter than their less lonely peers. Moreover, if loneliness occurs in old age after age 70 or 80, it can reduce life expectancy by another 2-4 years. Loneliness affects not only overall life expectancy, but also quality of life in old age.
Research confirms the importance of social connections for longevity and health. Loneliness can significantly shorten life expectancy and impair quality of life, especially in older people. Therefore, maintaining social contacts and close relationships plays a key role in maintaining health and longevity in old age.
