    Abstract

    The article attempts to appreciate the theoretical merit of Karl Marx in different areas of scientific knowledge. The real and attributed errors are analyzed in detail. The merit of Marx consists first of all in a comprehensive study of the laws of the formation of the capitalist mode of production, the discovery of deep contradictions in its functioning and development. “Marx is back” – report today many economists, philosophers, sociologists, politicians, and it means that we must reread the theoretical heritage of Marx and especially his titanic “Kapital”.

    Abstract

    The traditional family structure and functions in the Iranian society are experiencing a range of changes with regard to the issues of whether or not the former household size should be maintained or the minimum marriageable age should be raised, which results in active involvement of modern women in public societal life, her gaining of some freedom when choosing a partner, and increasing the number of working women. Even the entire powerful system of cultural and legal restrictions in Iran is unable to slow down the increasing number of divorces of married couples as a result of these changes. Consequently, the professional intervention of social worker to provide some solution to marital conflicts and marital problems is becoming more and more robust. The sociological study of couples in Khuzestan Province has revealed the degree of perception of marital conflicts as a threat to marriage stability and the possibility to discuss these issues outside of the family, and the degree of willingness of married couples with different demographic parameters to seek the intervention of a social worker. The degree of readiness in couples to seek the help of a social worker is primarily justified by incurred financial costs, as well as the public opinion and trust in a specialist.

    Abstract

    Assessment of the knowledge gained by the learners is an important component of the educational process. The main purpose of education is not only the transfer of knowledge and traditions but also the continuous improvement of the ability to understand the world. The assessment as an educational tool should stimulate this aspiration towards improvement by assessing the past and constructing the better future. The following basic functions of the assessment are highlighted in the article: information, feedback, correction, motivation, self-esteem and ambitions formation, personal growth, monitoring, improvement of teaching methods, group dynamics and stratification. They are interdependent and all have dysfunctional risks that can lead to educational resistance. In order to avoid the latter, the rating should be used as a positive rather than a negative sanction in the educational system.
