Resilience and adaptive capacities of societies
The concept of resilience is a topic that has returned to the forefront of social system analysis, especially with regard to the way in which communities react and how they can be a driving force for social reactivation as a dynamic process involving positive adaptation in the face of significant adversity. Communities have always played a fundamental role in social construction and in the implementation of actions for growth and social regulatio…
Digital Inequalities and Access to Technology
This article examines digital inequalities in Italy through a sociological lens, arguing that the digital divide is not merely a technological issue but a manifestation of broader social stratification. Drawing on data from ISTAT (2023–2024), the analysis explores disparities in Internet access and computer use among families with minors and young people aged 6–24. While connectivity has reached near universality, significant territorial, educati…

Sociologists in Italy Between Cultural and Normative Legitimization. The Failed Construction of a Community of Practice

The literature has indicated that males show higher levels of problematic internet use than females. People can use the internet to avoid or alleviate negative affects; in fact, problematic internet use is associated with alexith…
A quintuple helix model for foresight
The challenge of contemporary society is that of planning possible paths for the future. In the current scenario of hyperconnection, men and technologies and human and artificial intelligence are intertwined in such complex ways as to generate multiple possible futures up to the limit of the capacity of imagination. In particular, it is precisely the frontier of digital and technological changes that obliges social actors and socio-economic insti…

This study explores how students from all backgrounds and teachers can engage with inclusive education without discrimination through pedagogy. The research provides a platform through implication for other international readers of developing…
