Abstract: The word "Restrainer‟ derived from the Greek word "katechon‟ or "katechōn‟ has the potency to put the upsurge of immorality on hold in the contemporary society according to Apostle Paul. Of course, Paul says that His presence on earth gives man breathing space relative to full blown moral decadence that will be occasioned by the son of perdition in the last days. Accordingly, the contemporary society is like a bubble that is waiting to burst; in the face of moral decadence that has permeated into its fibbers. For Paul, the comprehensiveness of such evil days will manifest as part of eschatological events. Of course, the removal of the Restrainer from the way of the son......

Abstract: Cultural revival as a contemporary global reawakening of indigenous people's way of life with its positive and negative effects, on Christianity in Africa, is a discussion which the African Christians must show interest in. The necessity hinges on the fact that a better understanding of this modern wave and demand will reduce conflict between Religions in Africa and Christianity. This opinion is informed by the fact that some in Africa, in the retaliatory quest for freedom had capitalized on this new trend to recuperate deadly and idolatrous practices, hitherto abandoned for good. Some hiding behind the same trend commit heinous crimes against humanity while on another hand good cultural values are less emphasized trivialized with reckless abandon people of other religions like Christianity to be precise. Some Christians to the extreme believe that everything African is demonized. This research applying......

Abstract: Yellow Peril fears emerged from the very precariousness of white dominance, and the myriad forms of resistance to it. As a result, domestic repression and geopolitical aggression shaped both domestic and global Yellow Peril fears. These internal and external imperial contests represent very real conflict, but also perpetuate a paranoid worldview that structures mainstream understandings of future crisis. This article will discuss how "Yellow Peril" represents the precariousness of white dominance from three aspects. Firstly, Chinese in America, racialized and emasculated as.....

Abstract: Ghoramara island is located at 150km South of Kolkata in the Sundarban delta region. The area is covered by island in the Bay of Bengal around 4.8sq. km and the total shoreline is of 8.5 km. Once this island was a part of Sagar Island, that got detached from Sagar in 1904. Presently, this island got attention due to severe erosion and reduction in size. This has rendered thousands of people homeless and become environmental refugees. The sparsely populated island is suffering from coastal erosion mainly. The causes of erosion are so many. Natural and Anthropogenic causes leads to total aerial reduction of the island. In the present study, it is an attempt......

Abstract: Purpose: This paper attempt to draw the people's energy consumption based on a set of social practices which are influenced incommunity lifestyle choice and through the institutional structural form of the society.

Abstract: Two decades ago it was common experience that public mobilisation in the form of social movements use to be the main sources of the voice for the marginalised groups across the globe. Issues related to welfare, livelihood and rights of the weak in society are often articulated by these movements. Intellectuals, academics, students, activists, artists and leaders of political parties use to play a significant role as their driving forces. These movements use to be so strong that governments were forced to ponder over their concerns. Individuals who worked in such movements have enjoyed a great respect in society. But today.....
