Contemporary Insights And Transformative Perspectives In Human Development: Review Papers, Critical Reflections And Emerging Paradigms
The reviewed literature underscores the evolving and multifaceted nature of human development in contemporary society. Young adults today face complex relational, technological, and societal pressures that shape their emotional, psychological, and social trajectories. A prominent concern is the prevalence of dating abuse and psychological manipulation, often involving coercion, emotional degradation, and isolation, which can result in lasting impacts on self-esteem and mental health. Relatedly, the experience of being “ghosted” reflects broader patterns of emotional unavailability and normalization of abrupt relationship dissolution, contributing to anxiety, abandonment issues, and mistr...
Group Privacy
The goal of the book is to present the latest research on the new challenges of data technologies. It will offer an overview of the social, ethical and legal problems posed by group profiling, big data and predictive analysis and of the different approaches and methods that can be used to address them. In doing so, it will help the reader to gain a better grasp of the ethical and legal conundrums posed by group profiling. The volume first maps the current and emerging uses of new data technologies and clarifies the promises and dangers of group profiling in real life situations. It then balances this with an analysis of how far the current legal paradigm grants group rights to privacy and data protection, and discusses possible routes to addressing these problems. Finally, an afterword gathers the conclusions reached by the different authors and discuss future perspectives on regulating new data technologies.

Media and Mapping Practices in the Middle East and North Africa
A few months into the popular uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region in 2009/10, the promises of social media, including its ability to influence a participatory governance model, grassroots civic engagement, new social dynamics, inclusive societies and new opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs, became more evident than ever. Simultaneously, cartography received new considerable interest as it merged with social media platforms. In an attempt to rearticulate the relationship between media and mapping practices, whilst also addressing new and social media, this interdisciplinary book abides by one relatively clear point: space is a media product. The overall focus of this book is accordingly not so much on the role of new technologies and social networks as it is on how media and mapping practices expand the very notion of cultural engagement, political activism, popular protest and social participation.
