Abstract: This paper examines the influence of the digital revolution on poetic expression. The outcome of this influence is an electronic form of poetry that displays a variety of approaches to poetry with a significant and central use of computers and internet. The rationality of this paper is attained through the understanding of the influence of informatics on the making of meaning and the ability of the artificial intelligence in producing and composing authentic verses in the digital sphere. Therefore, this allows for the acceptance of the ePoem as a new poetic genre that has influences on poetic expression..

Abstract: ―Lolita‖ has become a cultural icon, normalizing, sometimes celebrating, the sexualization of children—this is known as the Lolita effect. This study seeks to examine the role the novel and aspects of its scholarship have played in creating this effect. Combining textual analysis and a literature review, this study juxtaposes the fictive depictions of the novel with the actuality of abuse as delineated by research studies. These findings are contrasted with elements of the discourse that have influenced their interpretation. Significant levels of concordance were found, revealing that Nabokov had a remarkably prescient knowledge of the feelings and cognitions of an abuser, the strategies utilized in grooming, and the diagnostic category of hebephilia long before these issues were discovered by research......

Abstract: Military involvement in politics in Africa and Nigeria to be precise has never been welcomed at any time. Thisis because, the military, by their nature was never trained to get involved in politics. Military leadership in the country has remained an unpleasant memory and each successive military regimethe country ever had, has its unique evils that left it not to be desired. It is a memory many don‟t want to remember, but after long years of military involvement in politics, with the attendant brutality and human right abuses, what has the current political leadership learntand how are they poised to ensure that the military permanently disengages from politics?This paper examined how to dissuade the hitherto, incessant military intervention in the politics of Nigeria. The studyadopted......

Abstract: In this paper we contend that the measure for assessing our Enduring Problem is our teacher and Lord. How do the traditional practices of the cultures we live in measure up to the values and behaviors that Jesus Christ preached and demonstrated? This paper will address the Enduring Problem as it relates to domestic life in East Africa today. The specific focus will be violent interactions of husbands against wives. Of course wife-beating is only a part of domestic violence. Sometimes husbands are beaten, sometimes parents are beaten, and often children are beaten. Like Cain and Abel, brothers and sisters sometimes hurt or even kill each other (Genesis 4:8). In addition to physical abuse, such as beating, there are other kinds of abuse. Abuse includes withholding food, denying someone education or training, and isolating a person by forbidding them to visit with friends or family. Some family members...

Abstract: Among the many African rites of passage, male circumcision remains one of the most important and outstanding because of the vital elements associated with it. A case study of this ritual was undertaken among the Bukusu People of Bungoma County in Kenya. Many written documents on Bukusumale ritual circumcision have looked at this rite from various viewpoints that include health, education, and religion. Most of these studies have failed to shed light on the underlying reasons for its persistence despite the opposition since time immemorial. This study seeks to fill that gap by examining Bukusumale ritual circumcision as a source of social capital and it is concerned with the common factors as to why the Bukusu ritual of circumcision has continued despite the opposition from various quarters. Based on the main objectives, the study first looks at the rite of passage of male circumcision......
