Creative economy consists of such areas as publishing, advertising, architecture, design, art, crafts, fashion, television, films, software, music, toys, and others. The areas of the creative economy are grouped in different lists suggested both by scholars and by government. The concept of creative society arises both from the ever-increasing creative challenges in society and from the emergence of the creative economy. However, the creative society presupposes the existence of creative individuals and the economic environment within it. The paper deals both with the different classification of the creative economy and with the concept of a creative society.

The article examines the positive and negative aspects of political correctness. Using the case of Donald Trump and looking back at the origins of politics, the manifestations of political (in)correctness under democratic conditions are analysed.

The article analyses the schools of communication that are alternative with respect to the classification presented both by Fiske and Craig with Muller. The article not only describes alternative schools and traditions, but also raises philosophical questions about metacommunication: what the philosophical bases of one or another classification are; why different schools ignore each other; from what perspective we can talk about different schools. Feminist, postmodern, pragmatic, biological, narration communication, mass communication, non-Western, educational, political, visual communication, creative communication, urban communication, poetic and other schools (traditions) are analysed. The philosophical aspects of alternative schools are also discussed.

The current analysis addresses cases of both informal and illegal settlements in Vilnius, Lithuania. By using semiotic means (specifically, semiotic squares), the author presents the Romani district (tabors), as well the Šnipiškės district, describing the circumstances of their emerging and comparing these cases. In addition to that, the philosophical questions about the dichotomies 'formal/informal', 'temporal/eternal', 'order/chaos', 'legal/illegal', 'sustainable/unsustainable' are discussed. On the one hand, illegal buildings serve as a signal about too high a barrier of bureaucracy, about a surfeit of law and even about the violation of certain rights. On the other hand, some urban districts can become illegal because of a changed urban vision reflected in a new General Plan. The paper also analyzes the issue of public interest. Additionally, the tendency of democratic society to turn into bureaucratic society is analyzed. The paper addresses sensitive issues related to sustainable development of cities, intercultural dialogue and equal opportunities.
