This book focuses on advances in sociology research. Chapter 1 focuses on migrant women from Albania in Greece, who are employed in the sector of domestic work. The aim of the study is to unravel the multiple effects of domestic work on the living conditions and integration of these women in the host country. Chapter 2 analyzes the Christian resistance to totalitarianism with the example of anti-communist dissidents in Slovakia. Chapter 3 discusses the failure of critical thinking to displace false but true-sounding narratives, and the ambiguity of truth. Chapter 4 explores the phenomenological structural basis of Mocombe’s consciousness field theory. Chapter 5 examines the degree of engagement and work centrality of employees who continued to work on premises versus those who switched to a hybrid mode, and those who switched to working from home during the COVID-19 crisis. Chapter 6 is a critical discussion on how the fear-based campaign used by American presidents is being emulated by the current Argentina president Javier Milei. Chapter 7 is aimed at the interplay between values and norms in the study and management of substance use and drug epidemics at the individual, societal and global level. Finally, Chapter 8 provides a comprehensive review of the literature examining underlying issues and psychosocial factors associated with Hijras, individuals of India who identify as intersex, asexual, or transgender, being treated in a stigmatized community.
