Feminism is a broad concept, and its definition is a constant subject of debate. The article is limited to the treatment of feminism as one of the aspects in the development of female identity. The chronological boundaries of feminism discussed in this article cover the period from the second half of the nineteenth to the beginning of the twentieth century. This period is traditionally considered the first wave of feminism as an organized movement. Although primarily associated with the fight for the right of women to vote, this movement also extended to women’s other social and professional fields. Both in Lithuania and other countries, the growing modernisation of society gradually rendered the general attitude towards women’s creative work more liberal: the artistic expression of actresses and female musicians became freer. However, the shift in public consciousness and the transformation of values was not fast enough. Traditions of social life and the stereotypes of gender cohesion resulted in diverse public reflections on these changes for a long period of time: women were often subjected to one set of standards on the stage and another set of standards when off the stage. The theatrical and concert life of Vilnius, Lithuania’s major culture hub, witnessed more and more examples (both local and foreign) that reflected the change in female self-expression. On the theatre stage, actresses demonstrated unusually bold means of acting expression (admittedly, this phenomenon was partly due to the epochal changes in theatre art), dared to play male roles. The number of female soloists in concerts was growing: female singers and pianists had to compete with violinists. Although with caution (triggered by the position of the instrument while playing it), female cellists were admitted to the cultural space. It should be noted that the striving of a woman – an actress or a musician –to break or ignore the deep-rooted public stereotypes would often receive a controversial response from the public and the reviewers of cultural events.

Stewart Parker’s play, Northern Star, begins with the character of Henry Joy McCracken reciting his seaborn heritage as a descendant of Huguenots and Covenanters, his mongrel inheritance ‘natural’ to his Belfast birth, the city a port of refuge from ‘the storm of history’. McCracken is remembered now as a United Irishman who was executed for his part in the 1798 rebellion, an insurrection that lingers still in the public consciousness of the city and its past. Northern Star was first performed in 1984 and through it Parker created a space for expressions of identity and place beyond the Troubles; that he did so in metaphors of storms and sea suggests the imaginative depth of the city’s maritime attachments, which form the basis of this chapter’s readings of mid-twentieth-century cultural production in the north of Ireland, including Seamus Deane, Medbh McGuckian, Sinead Morrissey, Glenn Patterson, and Ciaran Carson.

In the modern global world, a study on mentality as a main characteristic of the nation which defines the unity of the religious and cultural tradition of the society is conditioned with the need to develop an effective international religious and cultural cooperation. The purpose of the analysis is to determine religious factors in shaping the Ukrainian mentality taking into account its historical background and the challenges of modernity. The study methodology is based on the principles of the non-confessional approach and philosophical pluralism, involving a system of methods, namely: historical, dialectical, comparative methods, synthesis, and generalization. In the conclusions it is emphasized that mentality is one of the forms of the social experience accumulation, the set of historically accepted ideas, viewpoints, stereotypes, forms and behavior which are laid down is the public consciousness by means of education, culture, religion, a language through the years. Every mental formation has its imaginary lines of a friend and foe which were formed by ideologies, beliefs, and religious values. The religious factors in the formation of mentality reflect the role of the Church as the main regulator of the social life. In the social environment of the Ukrainian nation, a temple can be seen as a peculiar archetypical formation, the part of the landmark, symbolic, communicative, and informational religious system which regulates the public consciousness and it is an integral part of the national memory. The mental archetypes of the national identity stem from the phenomenon of the borderlands, and have shaped in the social context the desire for personal freedom, patriotism, social activity; in the spiritual dimension, it is a willing for the inner world to be protected, sacrifice, mercy, non-violence.

The term “world music” is still relatively new. It came into use around the end of the twentieth century and denotes a new musical genre, one which links European-American pop music to folk and non-European music cultures. It can be seen in a larger context as a phenomenon of postmodernism in that the challenge to the strict laws and boundaries of modernism allowed for a connection between regionality and global meaning to be established. Music in the German-speaking world had previously been strictly divided into the categories of “entertainment music” (U-Musik) and “serious music” (E-Musik), the latter functioning as art-religion in the framework of modernism and thus adhering to its principles. Once these principles of modernism became more uncertain, this rigorous divide began to dissolve. For example, the “serious music” broadcast consisting of classical music, previously a staple of public radio, gradually disappeared as an institution from radio programming. A colourful mixture of various low-key, popular music was combined with shorter classical pieces, so that the phenomenon known as “crossover”, a familiar term in popular music since the middle of the twentieth century, then spread to the realm of classical music. This situation differs fundamentally from the circumstances that once dominated the public consciousness from the nineteenth century well into the twentieth century and that indeed remain influential in certain parts of the population to this day. Historical-critical musicology must adapt to this transformed state of consciousness. Doing so will allow for a number of promising perspectives to unfold.

Problem setting. In democracies, the inherent right of citizens is the right to be informed about the policy pursued by the state, including not only the publicity and openness of government, but also the right to communicate public opinion on socially important issues to the government. The need for theoretical generalization and systematization of ideas about the content, structure, functions, internal logic of procedures and mechanisms of formation and implementation of regulatory principles of legal consciousness is becoming increasingly obvious. In other words, in terms of modern comprehensive research in the field of philosophy of law and a number of other branches of theoretical jurisprudence, the issue of not just harmonization and unification of such ideas, but the scientific development of a holistic theory of genesis and functioning of legal consciousness gains relevance. Despite the rather wide range of conceptual positions on the possibilities and areas of constructing such a theory, there is an approach based on studies of the primary, ontological, mentally structured foundations of legal consciousness. Resent research and publications analisys. Researcher of the system approach to processes in nature and society Yu. Bilodid characterizes the system as a set of qualitatively defined elements, having a natural connection or interaction between them. He is convinced that any self-organizing system for a certain purpose tums on reactivity (stabilization) and adaptation (dynamics), as well as a feedback channel, including a damper channel of negative feedback. Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. In Ukraine, the state of legal consciousness in public administration has been studied by Viacheslav Omelzov, who emphasized the monitoring of the state of public consciousness as a tool for information support of public administration. Paper main body. Legal consciousness and legal culture do not arise spontaneously and are not birth inherent, but it rather results from the process of socialization of the individual. Legal socialization of a minor involves the inclusion in his/her value normative system those values ​​that are protected by law, the mastery of lawful behavior, the formation of a sense of social responsibility and solidarity with the law. Thus, the legal socialization of adolescents is associated with the acquisition of social values, the creation of a special system of legal ideas and skills of law enforcement behavior, the formation of legal consciousness. Also, legal socialization is inextricably linked with the moral formation of personality. Having law as a tool, the state seeks to establish progressive moral norms, fights against injustice, evil and vices in the minds of citizens, the entire population. In turn, morality affects the legal life of society, the development of law, thus contributing to the strengthening of public order. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Feedback as a kind of regulator of power performs the functions of control, advice, and prescription. The very fulfillment of the wishes of the public is a guarantee that the authoritarian influence on the public consciousness will not be a manipulation, but the actualization of abilities and capabilities of each citizen, the awakening of the humanistic potential of the public consciousness. So, morality and law are interrelated forms of regulation of human behavior in a given society. The law is part of social norms, i.e. the norms regulating relations between people and their organizations (public formations and associations). All social norms, depending on their role and place in the system of social regulation, are split into legal (or judicial), moral, religious, corporate, political norms, aesthetics, customs and traditions. Thus, the interaction of the elements of the mechanism of criminal law regulation at its various levels is a complex and contradictory matter. Indeed, the criminal law regulation takes place in different regimes, which are determined by the balance formed at one stage or another between certain parts of its mechanism. Further research prospects may include the selection of relevant tools to study the state of public consciousness to identify ways to raise it, the organization of such monitoring centers to study changes in legal consciousness, their causes and consequences.

Women have always played an important, though not always fully perceived and properly exposed, role in the history of our nation. They were active participants in many significant events, engaged in armed struggle and took part in political and social life. They supported soldiers and political activists. This has given them an important place in the public consciousness. It is hard to imagine discussing any event today without taking into account the participation of women and the female perspective on the event. This also applies to Poland’s regaining of independence in 1918. It is worth looking at these events through the prism of not only famous writers, but also other women (among others: Zofia Romanowicz, Countess Maria Lubomirska), who, by taking part or observing, recorded them as written accounts.

Elimination, neutralization or restriction of the social preconditions of corruption requires systemic changes in the main spheres of social life, first of all in the functioning of public authorities. Because corruption is a phenomenon associated with the abuse of certain opportunities provided by certain posts or official position of persons authorized to perform state functions, it is traditionally believed that anti-corruption measures should be aimed primarily at such persons. Public confidence and public accountability play an important role in preventing corruption. Preventing and combating corruption cannot be effective without preventive measures in the public sector, an area where those authorized to represent the state perform their professional duties. UN anti-corruption standards in the public sphere provide for the implementation of a set of measures aimed at preventing the commission of corruption offenses. These are, first of all, the require-ments for public officials to carry out their activities on an ethical basis, which can be established in special codes of conduct that help persons performing public functions to choose the right course of action in a situation where there is a high risk of corruption.
