Title	:	Unleashed Multii--culture on Untamed mind:: An effect
Country	:	India

Abstract: It's very difficult to know exactly the root causes of a restrained mind. In global context different minds are embraced with different cultures, different habits, tastes and mind sets. Diversity in mixed culture sometimes represents a volatile state. Politics can work as balancing act in such a situation but most of the time it seems confused or rather becomes selfish in its own terms and conditions. Too good and seriously bad nuisances mostly occur. What does multi-culture produce? World literature portrays many moods of multi –cultural society in its own way. A balancing act is always required in multi-cultured society but when it fails an endangered situation strikes out peace and harmony. Terrorism is nothing but an imbalance of a deformed mental stature mostly a cancer of mosaic culture. Present article is a small effort of searching out the actual situation of multiculturalism in context of world literature through analytical looking glass.

Abstract: With increasing economic development and faster modes of communication, the individual in society faces a number of problems, about his place in the scheme of things. Increasing urbanization leads to a loss of self-identity because the old traditions have lost their values and an individual starts feeling alienated from the past which frequently results in a loss of sense of belonging or crisis of identity for many people. The concept of alienation has played an important part in the history of philosophical and sociological thought of the past. Alienation is the feeling that life is meaningless and we do not belong in this world.

Title	:	Goat Days: A Study in Existentialism
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Jasmine Fernandez
	:	10.9790/0837-191124245

Abstract: This paper attempts to explore the existential crisis of the protagonist, Najeeb, in Benyamins' 'Aadu Jeevitham' (Eng: translated: Goat Days – Joseph Koyippally). It aims in analyzing his crisis on the basis of economic and social aspects and his perception as a 'human being', which reflects the basic theme of existentialism. Here Najeeb is in an existential crisis because he is alien to the land and his new to the profession of a shepherd, tending goats in a desert land. He has no kindred and feels his life meaningless and absurd- his consciousness and awareness of his life as nothing as he has no choice. The absurdity of his life, aloofness and despair all are caused by fate.

Abstract: Bangladesh represents a valuable case study for investing the dynamics of steadily high rates of budget and trade deficits. In this study an attempt has been made to empirically test the validity of Twin deficits hypothesis for Bangladesh using annual time series data from 1972-73 to 2011-12 fiscal year. Applying the VAR and Granger Causality after successfully running ADF and PP unit root test and cointegration rank test this paper reveals that budget deficit Granger cause trade deficit and vice versa but the relationship does not stand for the long-run dynamics. In fact, the long run relationship depends on overall macroeconomics environment and performances of other relevant variables. Policy implication is that Government should reduce budget deficit to improve the trade account balance.

Abstract: In the perspective of professionalism, competency, ethic code and suitability in applied regulation are considered vital in running the implementation related to state affairs accordingly. Another approach such as maqashid al-syariah is seen to give bigger pressure to the propriety in Islamic dogma as a regulator in proper implementation in state affairs. This research aims at investigating the appropriateness of Act No. 13 Year2008 which regulates the implementation of hajj pilgrimage according to the two perspectives through normative-juridical studies on policy design, political reflection of law, and law construction for the implementation of hajj pilgrimage. From the evaluation based on professionalism perspective and maqashid al Syariah, it was found that there was some misconduct which required correction according to the aforementioned Act. Therefore, some suggestions were given to fix the implementation of Hajj pilgrimage with an expectation that the future implementation ofHajjprogramme will be based on professionalism andmaqashid al-syariah principles.
