Modern Globalism Versus Traditional Universalism. Freedom or Totalitarian Oppression?
European Journal of Social and Human Sciences, 2017, 4(1): 11-24.
Abstract:
The terms used in the title ‘modern globalism’ and ‘traditional universalism’ have been explained in the article. Globalism as a contemporary phenomenon with a worldwide range has a circle of its supporters and opponents. The meetings of prominent globalists are protected by the police and government services, whereas street protests of antiglobalists are pacified. Can we conclude from that, that globalism is a good and demanded phenomenon, whereas antiglobalism is a source of unjustified anxiety? The following study is not a comparison of globalism to universalism, but rather a dispute between globalism and universalism. Supporters of globalism attribute to supporters of universalism totalitarian tendencies and vice versa. The basic question that accompanied the following analysis is: Is globalism a liberating phenomenon, or rather a negative phenomenon, as totalitarianism? In order to achieve that the two mental tendencies have been characterised and criticised. Globalism, contrary to universalism, takes advantage of the doctrine which denies truth, common moral rules or any objective and universal statements as a criterion to resolve the dispute. In case of lack of such criteria, there is a threat of irrational solutions, depending on the opinion of imaginary experts, and finally manipulation of human convictions. Global system of governance, where the dominating role is played by international institutions, banks and various corporations, on which state governments and whole societies are dependant, shows many features of totalitarianism, though not in the known to us forms of fascism or communism.

The Role of Methodology as a Key Component of Modern Analytic Philosophy
European Journal of Social and Human Sciences, 2017, 4(1): 25-28.
Abstract:
The article views methodology as a key component in the development of analytic philosophy, as well as a primary criterion for identifying analytic philosophy in its modern state. It deals with the analysis of language, geographical, thematic, and methodological components of analytic philosophy as a way of identifying its origins and distinguishing it from continental philosophy. It discovers that while language, geographical, and thematic criteria do not provide a coherent picture of the development of analytic philosophy, especially in its current state, methodological criterion reveals a certain consistency and heredity among different branches of analytic philosophy. In the modern context, when analytic philosophy has spread worldwide, is practiced in many languages, and often shares its themes with those traditionally perceived as continental, it is important to focus on the aspect of methodology as a defining criterion.

Life in an Intelligent City: an Ethnomethodological Study of Global Expatriates’ Work-Life Balance
European Journal of Social and Human Sciences, 2017, 4(1): 35-48.
Abstract:
Discussions on intelligent cities are brewing in social science literature. Our study examined how global expatriates in Muscat, an intelligent city in the Sultanate of Oman, strike a work-life balance (WLB). The main theoretical pursuit of this ethnomethodological research examined the meanings which were in the practices of expatriates as they attempted in keeping an equilibrium between job/career and personal/family issues. Eleven expatriates from Egypt, Jordan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Sudan, and United Kingdom shared their practices on their work-life interface while living and/or working in Muscat. The following themes surfaced from the analyses: Embracing Personal Excellence; Enhancing Partner’s Social Engagement; Engaging in Community Development; Synchronizing Work-Family Affairs; Socializing with Others; Communicating in Home Country; and Finding Time for Relaxation. It is concluded that expatriates strike a WLB by practising socially (re)constructed realities.

The Slovak translation was done by Emília Perez by the title Agatha Raisinová a otrávený koláč. Detective fictions are very popular literature for all age categories in all parts of our planet. The modern detective stories contain terms from different activities of human being and therefore the translators are very often solving the problems of translating them from source to target language. In our contribution we would like to point out some results of our research of the translation the terms of law, medicine, tourism, botany, toponymy and culture from English language to Slovakian language.
