Although Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, it has been bedeviled by various issues in recent times, which has led to its experience of an economic recession. Its over-dependence on foreign products, the activities of militants and pipeline vandals in the Niger-Delta, poor economic planning and the delayed budget signing are some of the issues that have being credited to the fall into recession. However, some economists have suggested that Nigeria’s economy has the potential to rise from the recession and have identified the inflow of foreign direct investments as one of the key factor

His position constitutes a forceful explanation to ostensibly controversial socio-religious behaviours.

SummaryErving Goffman's Asylums: Essays on the Social Situation of Mental Patients and Other Inmates is a key text in the sociology of mental illness.

Reading Asylums today, however, reveals that this portrayal does not capture the richness of the text. My argument is that, rather than being an opponent of biological psychiatry or medical models per se, Goffman's key role was in humanising patients and drawing attention

In view of such a situation it becomes immensely important to not how find out the roles of men in regard to the women but also how men too have problems in constructing the larger gamut of gender as one of the key ingredients of social relationships.

Abstract:

The analysis of possibilities of dialogue as the prerequisite for social and religious pluralism based on Ernst Cassirer?s philosophy of symbolic forms is the main theme of this article. In the central section, the basic elements of the philosophy of symbolic forms are briefly introduced and are followed by a portrayal of the relationship between consciousness, symbolic forms and freedom.

Abstract:

The text outlines fragments of Georgian Romani and Dom children’s reality through the prism of their everyday life and educational practices. Romani (or Roma) and Dom children are usually perceived by the majority of society as well as by national and ethnic minorities as an identical, uniform group. Their images are burdened with stereotypes and they themselves – as begging participants in public space – have become inconvenient for the majority of the society, hence excluded and marginalized. With regard to social representations, Roma and Dom children can be included in the category of “str

In the 1980s, the New Wave Movement opened up new space for Hong Kong cinema, providing opportunities for innovation and transformation of action films. Diversified action movies and characters tend to appear at this time. As a type of character with highly localized characteristics in Hong Kong, the complexity of undercover images helps people examine society from different perspectives. This paper reviews the development of undercover films in Hong Kong by selecting representative undercover films, and reveals that undercover is actually a reflection of the collective situation of social ide

Using Mahesh Dattani’s The Big Fat City, which is a realistic portrayal of life in a contemporary Indian city, this article attempts to analyse the connected themes of urban reality and societal progress that are present in the novel. The disillusionment, alienation, and moral compromises that are inherent in metropolitan existence are something that are investigated in the drama, which takes place in Mumbai. In its capacity as a social force, the city functions as an organic organism, offering a perspective that conflicts with others on human ties. When the characters are unable to notice the

His famous book Servia.

Shakespeare studies Nature in the context of human behaviour. His drama deals with transformations and he displays these changes on both social and personal levels through alternating the graphic images from characters to situation. In an authoritarian society where lives of women were governed by a belief system which resulted out of Nature’s disposition of preordained roles in society, the portrayal of dominating female voices would have bothered many. Shakespearean drama is a protest against the society which is always dominated by the destructive forces of male paranoia, egocentrism, patri

Among them, the Loong Mother stands out as a highly revered goddess in Lingnan’s mythology.

When it comes to American hip-hop music and rap music, people always think of the African American singers in loose clothes, the flashing lights on the dirty stage, all kinds of alcohol and cigarettes, as well as many drunken scenes. However, such a familiar scene is indeed an authentic portrayal of the United States. If you have heard about hip hop music, it is not difficult to find that many hip-hop lyrics are often full of dirty abuse, cold ridicule and sharp criticism. In a sense, hip hop music and rap music can be considered a kind of 'voice resistance' from the lower class of American so
