‘Education‘ is one of the intervening variables in the phenomenon of social change. ‘Durkheim’ conceives of education as “the socialisation of the younger generation”.According to James Welton, education consists in “an attempt on the part of the adult members of human society to shape the development of the coming generation with its own ideals of life.” As Samuel Koenig has pointed out, it is a “process whereby the social heritage of a group is passed on from generation to an­other “.Educate on can also be understood as a factor of social change. The role of education as an agent or instrument of social change and development is widely recognised today. Education can initiate social change by bringing about a change in the outlook and attitudes of man. Image Source: sialnews.com…

Child labour is a major problem in India. It is a great challenge that the country is facing. The prevalence of it is evident by the child work participation rates which are higher in India than in other developing countries. Estimates cite figures of child labour between 60 and 115 million working children in India, the highest number in the world (Human Rights Watch, 1996). It is basically rooted in poverty.It is poverty that forces a child to earn money to support his family. Though it is prevalent in the whole of the country, the problem is acute in socio- economically weaker States like UP, Bihar, Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and North-Eastern States. Besides poverty, lack of education, and accessible sources of credit forces poor parents to engage…

A cultured life does not only lie in leading a decent life; a life of great social show and a big social status is much more than that which makes up for a cultured human life. Education —just attaining a degree — is also not a necessary component of a cultured human life.A cultured life and a cultured being is expected to be very much more than all this. One has to be capable of judging the right from the wrong; the good from the bad and be able to make oneself a real social asset — that is being really cultured. One’s own well being is important but more important is the well-being of the society to which one belongs. That would mean forgetfulness of one’s own self and…

It is indeed a paradox when the war mongers say that they are fighting a war in order that peace may prevail. This has ever been the claim of all wars. The World War I of 1914-18 ended with the establishment of the League of Nations — the purpose of which was to explore the possibilities how further wars could be avoided. But in spite of all good intentions the fury of another war could not be abated and the World War II — deadlier than the I, was waged and fought and when that somehow ended, the United Nations Organization was formed as a forum to find ways and means for a lasting Universal Peace. ADVERTISEMENTS: But, somehow, in spite of all pious intentions the war clouds still hover…

All living things have a right to live on this Earth but, we, very often become, totally, insensitive to their pain, only because animals can’t speak the language of humans, they don’t have a voiceWhen God created this planet he had a specific purpose for all living things and He did so to strike a balance in his creation. He wanted a world where harmony and peace prevailed and so He made the ‘Food Chain’ why maintains the ecological balance in Nature but Man in his greed ha recklessly been plundering the natural abode of animals, killing the! Indiscriminately for pleasure, for food, for their skin and other parts of the body, and training some to serve his needs.Slowly and gradually, with the passage of time, he became so arrival…

Democracy without discipline is a body without soul. If there is no discipline in the country, democracy will degenerate into a monocracy i.e., a Government by a unruly crowd. In fact, in Greek ‘Demos’ means crowd. The word ‘curacy’ is from the Greek word ‘Krait’ or ‘Cratos’ which means power. A lack of discipline in democracy justifies Plato’s criticism that democracy is the divine right of the ignorant people to rule ignorantly.It is true that democracy is based on the free will of the people who are supreme and. Sovereign. But this does not mean that democracy grants absolute liberty to the people to do anything. Under this mistaken belief, some people misuse their rights and liberties. Not only that, some people also think wrongly that in a democracy they…

Functional or occupational representation is a protest against the system of territorial or geographical representation. In modem States the usual basis of representation is territorial.A district or constituency is demarcated and voters living within the tutorial limits of that constituency elect a representative or representatives.This system of territorial or geographical representation is held to be inconsistent with the spirit of democracy. It is maintained that members elected from different constituencies are not representatives in the real sense of the term. Image Source: c14608526.r26.cf2.rackcdn.com ADVERTISEMENTS: It is a misrepresentative system rather than representative as a representative elected on the territorial basis cannot represent the varied and diverse interests living in a constituency. He can represent only his own interests which he has in common with others.People pursuing the same kind of…

The term ‘foreign direct investment’ (FDI) covers some specific forms of inter-country capital transfers. Under FDI, capital moves from one country to another not in the form of loans but in the form of business investment.When capital is transferred in the form of loans, the creditor runs the risk of a partial or full default by the borrower. However, given this risk, the lender’s future income is certain or pre-determined. In contrast, in FDI, the investor faces market risks and uncertainties.Return on FDI depends, amongst others, upon the success of the enterprise in which investment has been made. Consequently, it can be nil or even negative. skbdevelopers.com ADVERTISEMENTS: It is conventional to make a distinction between two forms of foreign direct investment of which the term FDI is conventionally used…
