The European experience in the inclusion of vulnerable groups in the economy
Get PDFWith the entrance of the modern world into economic and political difficulties, the question of the financial support to population and business by the state is much more acute. A major financial source for states, taxes in turn have a strong influence on the behavior of citizens and companies, which are generally opposed to their increase. What is the historical attempt to resolve this contradiction? The history of taxes in Ancient Rome, the progenitor of modern European and Western civilization, shows us that taxes are not just a source of financing, but also a basic structural element of the state and society. Their significant growth led in antiquity not only to riots, riots and bloodshed, but also to serious changes in the construction of the Roman economy and society. At the same time, the observance of the principles of fairness of taxes and the control of their collection prove to be key for their functioning within the economy and society. The ultimate rise in taxes led to a state-regulated economy in Rome, i.e. to the prototype of real socialism, and the end of the Roman Empire. This is the end of the road for state support. Will the modern world catch up with it again

Me, myself, and my avatar - a semiotic study into digital transformation via avatars
Get PDFThe Chinese musical idol show, Dimension Nova, (produced by entertainment company IQIYI) follows the same formula as other shows where a panel of judges choose from a pool of hopefuls to find the best singer. However, the contestants for Dimension Nova are virtual beings. The way these characters are presented, and the way the show is edited, intends for the creations to be the focus of the audience, not the creators behind them. Thus, augmented reality cameras render dances, conversations, performances, and rehearsals for broadcast with the models – or avatars – simulating a mixed reality environment. The audience fantasy is a collaboratively constructed reality – a feat made possible by virtue of the ubiquity of the digital avatar within the zeitgeist of society. The transformation of the avatar from a representation of the user to an individualised entity, interactive and reactive, as we progress from Web 2.0 era to the new Web 3.0 society of omnipresent computing is the focus of this article and is introduced by what I term the “hypervirtual” environment of the future
