Abstract: Questions of social justice on who gets what, how the scarce resources should be distributed in any political community, has been an issue of concern right from the origin of the state to the present. It has signalled the inscrutable philosophers and logicians argumentations about nyaya (logic, principle, justice, equity, fairness, and so on) or as in the West, from Plato to Rawls and beyond. Despite John Rawls contribution is widely acknowledged as seminal in this regard, Amartya Sen's understanding of justice engages with the Rawlsian project and attempts to tease out an alternative conception of justice. Sen's analyses of justice concentrates on social realizations and not on the quest for perfect institutions, as he suggests that there is no universal theory of justice but that different societies will work out their own accounts if they allow deliberative and democratic procedures to flourish. However..........

Abstract: The topic of the paper carries a symbolic of the contemporary communication trends between people of different countries, ethnicities and cultures. Its concept is to emphasize the challenges multicultural education of students faces today. The purpose of the paper is to theoretically review the cultural mosaic and dynamics of relationships between students of different cultural background. Through a theoretical analysis we will unfold some of the difficulties which continuously follow the practice of multicultural education, with a special emphasis on: 1. Setting, namely, resetting cultural barriers between students, and 2. Describing possibilities that contribute to eliminate the same, in order to improve the fragile interethnic, respectively intercultural, relationships. We refer to data of many theoretic studies subject of analysis of some of the causes which produce dilemmas and contradiction in the relation theory and implementation of multiculturalism. We conclude by discussing key findings and identifying issues for further research to create a functional, open and democratic educational society.

Abstract: This study investigates career progress requirement stress and the job effectiveness of Federal University Lecturers in Cross River and Akwa Ibom states. The study adopted the Cross sectional research design. The stratified random sample technique was employed and a sample size of 584 lecturers was used for the study. Job Stress Scale and Job Effectiveness questionnaires were administered. Data generated were analysed using simple percentages for demographic data, and One Way Analysis of Variance to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed that stress from career progress requirements do not influence job effectiveness at all. The study recommended among other measures that, university administration should provide facilities for a research conducive environment. Also inflation sensitive compensation package should be designed for universities so as to avert strikes and make long term vacation possible for research purposes.
