“…The issue of cultural inclusiveness, exclusiveness and the essentialisation of cultural identities directly relates to the family which assists in providing the next generation with the ideal sociocultural inclusivity and helps prevent "culture wars" [54]. During the process of analysing the data, a hidden intergenerational conflict was identified.…”

Despite the fact that much academic attention has been directed to the acculturation of immigrants in Finland, the need to more fully understand how immigrants cope with acculturation is timely. Since the Russian-speaking immigrants represent the biggest immigrant group in Finland, this chapter explores the acculturation orientations among Russian immigrant youth approached from the angle of the festive culture. The findings are based on the data of ethnographic observation and qualitative interviews (n 16) conducted in the central part of Finland. To capture the nuances of dynamic acculturation experiences, the authors applied a bottom-up methodological approach which gives voice to young people. The Introduction familiarises readers with the research context, the objective of the study and its key research questions. Part two explains the data collection methods and describes the methodology used in the research. Part three presents the analysis of young people’s experiences at festivities. Building knowledge by mapping customs, traditions and novelty of celebrations, the authors found three acculturation orientations among Russian immigrant youth in Finland: assimilation, integration and separation. Research into festive culture plays a role in exploring immigrant communities, allowing identification of the network of social ties, which reflects the connection of immigrants with both the host culture and the heritage culture.

“…In relation to the parents' expenses for their children's participation in leisure and youth clubs, 17 this varies from the different municipalities, and it is also possible to apply for so-called financially free space, 18 so that children and young people are able to participate in leisure activities, independently of parents' income. In a Danish context, a report from the Danish Evaluation Institute, EVA [54] points out that children and young people with an ethnic minority background are more likely to be enrolled in clubs than ethnic Danish children and young people, which also seems to apply to the other Nordic countries [25,[55][56][57].…”

our statute books gradually became laden with gross, stereotyped distinctions between the sexes and, indeed, throughout much of the 19th century the position of women in our society was, in many respects, comparable to that of blacks under the pre-Civil War slave codes. Neither slaves nor women could hold office, serve on juries, or bring Minorities -New Studies and Perspectives 4 suit in their own names, and married women traditionally were denied the legal capacity to hold or convey property or to serve as legal guardians of their own children.... And although blacks were guaranteed the right to vote in 1870, women were denied even that right-which is itself "preservative of other basic civil and political rights"-until adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment half a century later.Like African-Americans and women, other minority groups in the United States faced similar discrimination from the majority. Still, the issue of lack equal opportunity for minority groups transcends one country's borders or one issue area. Globally, refugees, indigenous cultures, gender discrimination, LGBTIA+, and racial and ethnic minorities are just some of the groups that face implicit and explicit discrimination in the public and private spheres.Second, research details institutional and structural barriers that prevent equal opportunity in practice. For example, in the United States, the Baldus study found that African-Americans were more than four times more likely to receive the death penalty than Caucasians for interracial murders when controlling for other key factors [3]. Globally, minorities do not receive equal health care or outcomes than their majority counterparts [4]. Linguistic minority students in primary, secondary, and post-secondary schools face formidable discrimination-both explicitly and implicitly [5]. And, religious and ethnic minorities experienced genocide based on minority status and as a scapegoat to the country's larger problems (e.g., WWII between 1941 and1945 and Rwanda in the 1990s).The literature on minorities also examines possible explanations for discrimination (i.e., racial threat theory) and perspectives of minorities by minorities (i.e., critical race theory). Racial threat theory, for example, reveals that the majority uses disproportionate power to oppress minority groups based on the perceived danger (e.g., Jim Crow Laws in the United States) ([6], pp. 1-2). These types of oppressive laws discriminate against minorities in social, cultural, and political ways. It is also found that the more of a minority in a political, social, and cultural system, the more likely the laws are to be more oppressive ([6], p. 2). Still, other scholars share how it is perceived to be a minority by minorities. For instance, Critical Race Theory (CRT) was born out of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States to show that institutional and structural factors in society are part of the culprits of discrimination. Equality under the law is not possible, because equal opportunity is defined based on the majority's ...

“…The decrease in face-to-face interactions among family members poses the threat that non-material and family values will degenerate and provokes further changes in value orientation and value relations; thus, the increasing lack of intergenerational communication and value exchange may affect not only the children and young people of today but also the future of Europe. However, since the construction of placial, spatial, collective, cultural, and national identities is directly linked to the individual's socialization and the discursively organized learning experiences, intergenerational exchange of knowledge (through family activities during major (usually cultural-cum-religious) festivals or family gatherings, by communicating values and passing down valuable skills, or memories, i.e., equipping youngsters with vital information to remember from the past) may alter the past and future (Deák & Kačāne 2021). Therefore, it is of crucial importance for inter actions and socialization patterns to be based on universal human values and being a 'Cultured Man', i.e.…”

Filozofijas un socioloģijas institūts DAŽĀDIE VĒRTĪBU ASPEKTI MŪSDIENU KONTEKSTĀŽurnāla "Reliģiski-filozofiski raksti" XXXIII laidiens veltīts Latvijas sabiedrības vērtību analīzei salīdzinošā perspektīvā. Ņemot vērā vērtību jēdziena daudzdimensionālo raksturu, vērtību apraksts, analīze un klasifikācija visos laikos ir izraisījusi diskusijas, strīdus un pat konfliktus. Daudzo vērtības jēdziena aspektu apzināšanai, kā norāda Latvijas Universitātes profesore, akadēmiķe Maija Kūle, nepieciešamas gan kultūras vēstures un plaša spektra humanitārās zināšanas, gan dialogs sociālajā telpā, gan sensus communis -kopējais viedoklis. Filozofu vidē ir sastopama izpratne, ka vērtības ir ontoloģiski pastāvošas un nav tieši atkarīgas no novērtējuma, tās nevar nedz iznīcināt, nedz atcelt, lai gan ar audzināšanas un mediju palīdzību var ietekmēt vērtīborientāciju (Kūle 2016).Sociālajās zinātnēs vērtības tiek definētas kā vispārīgi mērķi, ko indivīds uzskata par sev svarīgiem un kas nosaka viņa attieksmes un uzvedību (Rokeach 1973;. Tiek izšķirtas personiskās jeb individuālās vērtības un ar sociālo piederību saistītās vērtības. Pētnieki visā pasaulē ir pierādījuši, ka gan indivīdu personiskās vērtības, gan ar sociālo piederību saistītās vērtības ietekmē indivīdu politisko uzvedību, rīcību un izvēli vēlēšanās. Valdības lēmumus, likumu izstrādi, grupu attiecības un pilsonisko uzvedību nosaka vērtības, jo tās ietver vēlmes, uzskatus, morāles kodeksus, kas nosaka indivīda uzvedību sabiedrībā.
