Abstract: Wide differences exist in the achievement of children from different social backgrounds. Children from more privileged backgrounds tend to achieve better results, make more progress in school than children from deprived background. Tribals take longer time to unfold their abilities as they are deprived of opportunities this may result in intellectual deficiency. In such deprivations, cognitive structure of tribal students might not have developed so they might not feel the need to learn and gain new experiences which resulted in intellectual weakness and this might be the reason that they show low achievement academically. This research explores the effect of personality and emotional intelligence on academic achievement of tribal students. Results imply friendliness, interpersonal management, decisiveness, emotional stability, friendliness, masculinity, heterosexuality, dominance as important predictors in achievement. An understanding of the role of personality and emotional intelligence enables teachers to ensure academic success, motivate students for positive feeling and empathy.

Title | : | Role of Mising Folk-Tales in Developing Moral Values among Children |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Pritilata Pegu Doley |
: | 10.9790/0837-191051923 |
Abstract: The Misings are one of the major communities of Assam dwelling mostly on the valley of Brahmaputra and her tributaries contributing to the growth and development of composite Assamese culture. The Mising Folk-Tales can contribute towards maintaining moral values among children like any other Folk-Tales. The Misings have a storehouse of folk tales in their custody. As the Misings had no written script earlier, they couldn't record their events and ideas. Therefore, it is said that their history and culture lies in the air as the form of 'A;bangs' (a type of Mising folk song) and 'Leke do:ying' (folk tale). Since the importance has been given in stories, nursery rhymes, songs in the school curriculum, importance should also be given in developing moral values among children of the Mising community through Mising folk tales. The present study aims at finding out the socio-cultural life of the Misings, Mising folk-tales, their moral values and to study the role of Mising folk-tales on children's moral value development in relation to their sex, locality and Socio-economic Status.

Abstract: Police officers are challenged with numerous amount of emotional and physical stress. Long hours, high demands, exposure to death, and a constant threat of danger and physical harm all result in a near constant state of flight-or-fight. Overtime, this stressful state may cause serious health conditions. Unfortunately, many law enforcement officers attempt to hide their stress or downplay the physical and emotional symptoms of stress. Fear of losing trust of their fellow officers, concerns about work demotions, and belief that they will be seen as weak or unable to handle their work responsibilities forces them to remain silent about their symptoms. Untreated stress put law enforcement officers at the risk of developing numerous health problems which will impair their ability to perform their duties.

Abstract: Stress damages people and it damages their organizations. It can be all pervasive. It can affect people in all occupations and of all ages irrespective of sex, nationality, educational background or role. Stress is an inevitable part of police personnel. Constant and unmanaged stress potentially reduces the effectiveness and efficiency of the personnel. The stressed police officers pose a threat to themselves, their colleagues, offenders and/or to public safety. The purpose of this study is to identify causes of stress and also empirically investigate the socio-demographic factors affecting stress level among police personnel. A convenience sampling method was employed to select a sample of 118 police personnel in Kerala police. Findings revealed that political pressure, lack of time for family, negative public image and low salary were the primary causes of stress among police personnel. It also emerged that stress is significantly more pronounced among those police personnel who are younger, more educated, posted in urban areas and have less work experience. Overall, the finding of this study strongly recommends a need for an internal policy reform and managerial change in the policies.

Title | : | Freudian Doubles: Psychoanalysis and Governance in Colonial India |

Abstract: What was the relationship between discourses like anthropology and psychoanalysis in Colonial India? Would it be correct to maintain that these discourses colluded with the colonial project of the British Raj? This paper argues that while it would appear that there were some instances of what appear to be collusion, a closer examination of the evidence would determine that such instances were few and far between. Most of the theories of psychoanalysis; the evidence presented in the Girindrashekar Bose-Sigmund Freud correspondence of 1921-1931; and Christiane Hartnack's pioneering study ofthe deployment of psychoanalysis in colonial India actually havemore of a clinical - than a political oran ideological orientation. It is however easy to come to the wrong conclusions if we don't recognize that the demographic representation of Indian and British patients atRanchi and Calcutta were different from those of Freud's clinic at Vienna. Most of the patients in Indian clinics were obsessional or psychotic males while Freud's patients were mainly female hysterics. Any attempt to draw a theory of colonial subjectivity on the basis of such patients must recognize these socio-cultural and demographic differences. It mustalso examine why the Bose-Freud correspondence did not make sufficient headway towards any fundamental revisions in Freudian meta-psychology. This paper prepares the reader to appreciate these theoretical problems by first thinking through the relevance of the work of the psychoanalysts, Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, in the context of psychoanalytic anthropology. It does so by explaining the importance of the colonial imaginary in structuring the intersubjective dynamics of the colonizer and colonized. It argues that the colonial imaginary is not to be conflated with the colonial imagination, and that the effects of the imaginary are very real indeed. It is therefore important to differentiate between the terms 'aggressivity' and 'aggression' in invoking the Lacanian notion of the imaginary order to explain the inter-subjective dynamics of colonial relations. The propensity to overdo the fear of collusion stems precisely from conflating the notion of aggressivity with that of aggression, and in not differentiating between the scope of different forms of historical explanation.

Abstract: This paper provides a socio-historical analysis of the migration of the Fulani into the Middle Belt region of Nigeria and their relationship with the indigenous people. The Fulani are an important population group found mainly in the Northern and Middle Belt regions of Nigeria. They are also, with or without justification, identified with rearing of cattle in these regions. This paper thus discussed their migration, penetration and diffusion into the Middle Belt region. It is also a contribution to the current problem of population movements not only in the region, but the entire country. Secondary method of data collection was adopted in this study. Findings reviewed that the geographical location of the region in the transition point between the North and South coupled with its natural endowments makes it a haven for many Nigerian migratory groups in times past as well as presently. Also, its ethno-cultural heterogeneity in addition to its structural economic backwardness makes the region an explosive conflict zones. In sum, the daily increase in migration should be taken into cognisance and the agrarian region should be improved in order to avoid conflicts mostly between farmers and pastoralists in Benue State and the entire Middle Belt region."

Abstract: On 15 September 2008, the Global Political Agreement (GPA) was signed between Zimbabwe African People's Union Patriotic Forum(ZANU PF) and the (Movement for Democratic Change) MDC formations to resolve the socio-economic and political crisis that engulfed Zimbabwe from 2000. The agreement paved the way for the formation of a Government of National Unity (GNU) in February 2009. The GNU provided an opportunity for the state to embark on a new national healing and reconciliation process. The process has however been championed by the government subsequently marginalizing of the church and other civil society groups. Christianity is the dominant religion in Zimbabwe accounting for more than eighty percent of the population. That makes the church perhaps the largest and arguably the most socially influential institution in Zimbabwe. As such, the church is expected to play a significant role in Zimbabwe's reconciliation process but its role has been peripheral. The study theoretically analyses the part played by the church in promoting peace, unity and healing in Zimbabwe under the GNU. It accomplishes this through the lens of Lederach's conflict transformation framework.
