Abstract

Background. In the contemporary digital era, social media platforms have become a dominant force in shaping cultural identities across the globe. The rapid dissemination of information and interactive communication fostered by platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook has significantly contributed to the formation of a shared global cultural identity. Purpose. This research explores the role of social media in influencing cultural perceptions, values, and behaviors among diverse communities. The primary objective of this study is to analyze how social media facilitates cultural exchange and contributes to the convergence of cultural norms, while also highlighting the tensions between global and local identities. Method. This study adopts a qualitative approach using content analysis and semi-structured interviews involving 30 active social media users from different cultural backgrounds. Data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns and narratives regarding cultural identity construction. Results. The findings reveal that social media functions both as a platform for cultural homogenization and as a space for cultural hybridity. While global trends and popular content promote a sense of shared identity, users also reinterpret and adapt these influences to fit their local cultures, resulting in the emergence of hybrid cultural expressions. Moreover, the study indicates that social media plays a crucial role in youth identity formation and in promoting cross-cultural understanding. Conclusion. In conclusion, social media acts as a double-edged sword—supporting the development of a global cultural identity while preserving unique cultural elements. Future studies are recommended to further explore this dynamic in different regional contexts.

Abstract

The climate crisis has emerged as one of the most pressing global challenges, affecting not only environmental sustainability but also socio-economic structures across nations. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and ecological degradation have profound implications for vulnerable populations, particularly in terms of their capacity for social mobility and access to economic opportunities. This study examines the interconnectedness between climate change impacts and patterns of social and economic inequality, focusing on how environmental disruptions exacerbate barriers to upward mobility and reduce overall economic well-being. The main objective of this research is to analyze the extent to which climate-related stressors influence socio-economic dynamics, especially among low-income and marginalized communities. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study combines statistical analysis of secondary global data with case studies drawn from three climate-vulnerable regions: Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. Quantitative data were sourced from global databases such as the World Bank and IPCC reports, while qualitative insights were obtained through structured interviews and local policy document analysis. Findings reveal a strong correlation between climate vulnerability and reduced social mobility. Communities exposed to recurrent climate shocks tend to experience diminished income security, disrupted education pathways, and limited employment opportunities. These effects are particularly acute in regions with weak institutional support and limited adaptive infrastructure. The study concludes that the climate crisis is not only an environmental issue but also a significant socio-economic threat that demands integrated policy responses. Addressing climate justice and economic resilience simultaneously is crucial to safeguarding future opportunities for upward mobility.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation technologies has transformed various aspects of modern life, from labor markets to public services. While AI offers potential for innovation and efficiency, it also raises significant concerns regarding social equity, especially for marginalized and underrepresented communities. These concerns highlight the need for a critical examination of how AI systems may reinforce or mitigate existing societal disparities. This study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities that AI poses to social equity in the age of automation. The research focuses on identifying potential biases in AI-driven decision-making processes and assessing the impact of automation on employment, education, and access to services. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative interviews with stakeholders from policy, tech industry, and affected communities, alongside quantitative analysis of labor and demographic data. This methodological design allows for a comprehensive understanding of both structural and experiential dimensions of AI’s impact. The findings reveal that while AI has the potential to improve service delivery and expand access to information, its deployment often reflects and amplifies existing inequalities when ethical and inclusive frameworks are absent. Particularly in automated hiring systems and predictive policing, biases embedded in algorithms disproportionately affect vulnerable groups. The study concludes that addressing AI's social equity implications requires intentional design, inclusive policy, and sustained public engagement. As automation continues to reshape society, equity must become a central consideration in AI development and governance.

Abstract

Background. Climate change is no longer a distant environmental issue but a present and intensifying force driving social and economic displacement across the globe. Vulnerable populations, particularly in the Global South, face disproportionate impacts in the form of rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and resource scarcity, often leading to forced migration. These dynamics underscore the intersection between climate change and global inequality, raising urgent questions about justice, adaptation, and human mobility. Purpose. This study aims to explore the social dimensions of climate-induced migration, focusing on how environmental stressors exacerbate existing inequalities and shape patterns of displacement. The research also investigates the role of governance, infrastructure, and international aid in either mitigating or perpetuating migration-related vulnerabilities. Method. A qualitative-dominant mixed-methods approach was employed, including ethnographic fieldwork in two climate-affected regions, semi-structured interviews with 30 climate migrants, and analysis of secondary data from international climate and migration databases. Data were thematically analyzed to uncover recurring patterns and socio-political contexts surrounding climate mobility. Results. Findings reveal that climate migration is not solely an environmental issue but deeply intertwined with poverty, weak governance, and limited access to resources. Migrants often face legal ambiguity, social exclusion, and economic instability in host regions. The study highlights a growing need for inclusive climate adaptation policies that address both environmental and social dimensions. Conclusion. The study concludes that addressing climate migration requires integrated strategies that bridge environmental sustainability, social equity, and human rights protections to ensure just and humane responses to climate-induced displacement.

Abstract

Background. In an increasingly connected world, where data flows seamlessly across digital platforms and devices, the concept of privacy has become more complex and contested. The rise of big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence has dramatically altered how personal information is collected, stored, and used. While these technological advancements offer convenience and economic value, they also pose significant risks to individual privacy and raise socio-economic concerns related to surveillance, digital inequality, and data governance. Purpose. This study aims to analyze the future of privacy from a socio-economic perspective by exploring how privacy concerns vary across different income, education, and demographic groups. The research investigates both individual perceptions and institutional practices regarding data protection in the digital age. Method. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines a survey of 500 participants from diverse socio-economic backgrounds with in-depth interviews of policymakers, technologists, and privacy advocates. Quantitative data were analyzed using regression models to identify key predictors of privacy concern, while qualitative data were examined thematically to uncover broader social patterns. Results. Findings reveal that lower-income groups often have less access to privacy tools and are more vulnerable to data exploitation. Education level significantly correlates with privacy awareness, and trust in institutions varies widely. The study highlights a growing privacy gap between socio-economic classes, with policy frameworks struggling to keep pace with technological change. Conclusion. The study concludes that equitable privacy protection requires inclusive digital literacy initiatives, transparent regulatory systems, and stronger accountability mechanisms in data-driven environments.
