Abstract: Rights talks are normative inquiries. Fundamentally, it insists to find what is supposed to be claimed as right and what decides its claimability. Unarguably, whatever is essential for life is a right. Since water is one of the essentials of life, it indeed is a right. The aim of this paper, in this view, is, not to argue against or in favor of the idea of right to water but the aim is to highlight the existing logics that has endorsed that water is a right. In political discourse, such logics are remarkably different as they have elaborated the right in different contexts and have justified them for different purposes............

Title	:	The Reciprocal Effect of Crowding and Experiential Stress
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Hotwani, Geetu P || Tripathi S. K.
	:	10.9790/0837-2203031619

Abstract: The exposure to crowding in everyday life leads to stress, frustration, anger and reduced coping abilities. The demands of living and working expose people to different situations irrespective of individual differences. Crowding is a personal, perceived state of mind that may occur owing to environmental realities i.e., high population density (Baron and Richardson, 2004). Crowding refers to the feeling of others being too close versus them actually being too close (Stenstrom, 2010). There are variations in these terms; and, as a matter of fact crowding is subjective and density objective. Researchers place confusion on the two when they do not differentiate them from one another..............

Abstract: The development of interpersonal competence among students means increasing of their abilities for a comprehensive personal and professional development Within the frames of traditional school children learn more about interpersonal relations during the breaks and leisure activities than during classes. The principal aim of the intercultural education is to promote and to develop the capacities of interaction and communication between pupils and the world that rounds them. If we don't want to create impoverished uniformity in our schools based on segregation and elitism, the development of intercultural competence should be one of the main goals of all schools in today's society. The skills for constructive communication in diverse environments, expressing and understanding of different views, negotiating with ability to create trust and feeling of empathy are the core of this competence
