Authors | : | Mridula Sharma |
Abstract: Present paper is about growing population in Uttarakhand and its impact on natural resources. According to Gandhi ji,‟ There is enough for everybody‟s need and not for anybody‟s greed.

Title | : | The Role of Smile In Social Life |
Country | : | Romania |
Authors | : | PhD. Trandafir Lenuţa |
Abstract: Based on previous work showing that sex is a "diffuse status cue" the hypothesis that women smile more than men because of status differences between the sexes was evaluated Status was manipulated by assigning men and women to the roles of interviewer (high power) or applicant (low power) in simulated job interviews with either male or female partners. As predicted, overall, applicants smiled more than interviewers, demonstrating that smiling does reflect status. However, the sex composition of the pairs also influenced smiling frequency. Male interviewers smiled significantly less than their applicant partners, whereas female interviewers did not. The results suggest that, compared with females, males may more readily experience power and dominance as concomitants of high-status roles, which may then be reflected in the frequency of their smiling..........

Title | : | Women, Polygyny and Economy: An Analysis on the Pre-Colonial Naga Society of North East India with Special Reference to the Lotha Nagas |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Rosanna Kikon |
Abstract: - The aim of this study is to bring to light the contributions of women in the social milieu of the headhunting Naga society. The anarchical state of the country had rendered it necessary for Naga men to be always ready for an assault consequently the main bulk of work, of sustaining life, fell upon women. Polygyny was an added advantage for man as he could boast of enough supply of labour in his wives and children thereby enhancing his wealth. Considering the amount of labour women put into for the continuance of the tribe and to the economic advancement of the husbands, it could have earned her a place in the society but this was not so. Tradition and customs of the tribe favoured men and women‟s contributions were overshadowed by men‟s achievements.
Keywords: headhunting, polygyny, labour, tradition, patriarchal.
