The Evolution of Education and Family Life in Algeria: Tradition, Modernisation, and Cultural Continuity

Riad Soltani — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Family and education in Algeria, are a microcosm of larger societal transformations, and both are an engrossing case study in the interaction between tradition and modernization. This article examines two intertwined facets of Algerian society by tracing the historical evolution of its educational system—from the decentralized, religiously grounded model during the Ottoman era, through the disruptive impact of French colonial policies, to the post-independence reforms aimed at reclaiming national identity—and the transformation of family life in the context of modernisation. Employing a combined historical–thematic and mixed-methods research design, the study integrates archival research, demographic analysis, and qualitative testimonies to reveal how Islamic values, colonial legacies, and socio-economic changes have shaped educational practices and familial structures. The findings highlight the enduring cultural continuity amidst change, as well as the emerging challenges in reconciling traditional practices with contemporary demands.

Rabah Saddek — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This research paper examines discourses that predict the decline of theory, particularly within media and communication studies, and the rise of a post-theoretical era. It critically explores the contexts in which these claims are made, especially in relation to digital technologies and big data. The paper argues that these discourses often hold more ideological than scientific value. It also stresses the importance of revisiting the research philosophy, conceptual frameworks, and epistemological foundations within media and communication theories, as well as the social sciences more broadly. The paper calls for the development of innovative approaches that better align with the evolving technological and media landscape.

The study aimed to identify the role of Palestinian legislation and laws in enhancing the competitiveness of small enterprises in Palestine by analyzing the impact of the legal framework on their performance through improving the legal environment, facilitating procedures, and providing incentives. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach and utilized a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The study sample consisted of 378 individuals, including owners and managers of small enterprises. The study found that Palestinian legislation and laws play a moderate role in enhancing small enterprises. It also revealed that clear legal regulations improve the confidence of business owners and encourage investment. Additionally, simplifying business registration procedures reduces the time and costs associated with launching enterprises, thereby increasing their competitiveness. The study also showed that tax incentive laws encourage small businesses to innovate and develop new products. Furthermore, the findings indicated a positive relationship between labor protection laws and the increased stability of small enterprises. The study concluded with several recommendations, including the necessity for the Palestinian government to update laws and regulations to keep pace with global and local economic changes. It also emphasized the importance of raising legal awareness among business owners through workshops and training courses. Additionally, the study recommended the establishment of an electronic platform to simplify and facilitate the licensing procedures for these businesses.
