This means that reading lifting techniques, presented in close connection with teaching practice, not only develop the reliability of empirically substantiated arguments, but also represent the effectiveness of the methodology presented to the teaching audience. A reading elevator should be considered as one of the communication problems that must be consistent with a science- based teaching methodology. When it comes to the technology of presenting research, it should be emphasized that such a technique is often used to balance the quality combination of well-known material and novelty with the possible implementation of novelty directly in the teaching audience. The correlation of different types of contexts is placed within the texts in such a way as to develop the motivation of the student and student audience.

A. T. Knyazyan Perceptions of the Roles of Men and Women in Society

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-HS2020-231VIII39-16 

Abstract. Gender is one of the important categories of social life, manifested in everyday reality. Representatives of one gender are presented with a special set of behavioral norms and expectations, significantly different from the requirements for the other sex. Social ideas about men and women relate to the norms of their social behavior and psychological qualities. The division of society on the basis of sex led to the appearance of two opposing attitudes towards men and women, which determine their specific features. The specificity of the gender system lies in the fact that it is an integral characteristic of any society, since any society regulates the relations between the sexes.

S. S. Yaremchuk The theory of religious complexity in the modern study of religion

https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-HS2020-231VIII39-18 

Abstract. The article analyzes the prerequisites, methodology and basic ideas of the theory of religious complexity. It is the result of a  large-scale  research  project  by  scholars  to  study  the  role of  religion  in the public  sphere  in  five  Nordic  countries.  This  concept indicates the simultaneous presence of several, sometimes contradictory, religious tendencies that can coexist at different levels of society.  It  can  be  argued  that  the  theory  of  religious  complexity  is  a  component  of  the  post-secular  discourse  of  the  analysis  of religion, which includes the theories of P. Berger, J. Casanova, J. Habermas, and others. 

Keywords: religion, religious complexity, secularization, deprivatization, Nordic countries.
