Abstract:This is a review paper that intends to examine the relationship between parental monitoring and self disclosure of adolescents. Parenting is a purposeful action of parents towards their children which consists of a combination of behaviors, feelings and expectations that are unique to a particular parent and a particular child. Parental monitoring (tracking and surveillance) of children's behavior is considered an essential parenting skill. Studies show that well-monitored youths are less involved in delinquency and other norm breaking behaviors. New advancements in technology, mass media and internet have increased the challenges of effective parental monitoring. As a result importance of self disclosure increases manifold. Voluntary disclosure from child enables parents to know more about him/her and also helps in building an atmosphere of trust and honesty towards each other. The paper presents a description of the factors that facilitates or impedes the process of self-disclosure. Gender differences in self disclosure are also discussed in the paper.
Keywords:Emotional closeness, Parent-child relationship, Parental monitoring, Self-disclosure.

Abstract:The essay argues that there cannot be a universal theory of drama. Indigenous African drama, though it contains what might be the universal element of drama, which is mimesis, is home grown and different from European drama in some respects. There is need, therefore, to proceed with conceptualising and operationalising indigenous African drama. In doing so, however, care should be taken to distinguish drama from mere spectacle.
Keywords:Drama, indigenous African drama, mimesis, culture, aesthetics, characteristics of indigenous drama.

Abstract:African oral literature remains a veritable source of material for African literary drama through various means, ikncluding exploitation and adaptation. By so doing, besides the aesthetic benefits, present and future generations can learn, imbibe and practicalise the moral and social values of traditional African societies which we seem to badly require at this time of severe moral decadent. This essay shows the exploitation of indigenous African arts in terms of content and aesthetics by two prominent African dramatists, viz, Efua T, Sutherland of Ghana and Femi Osofisan of Nigeria
Key Words:Oral tradition ( oral literature), exploitation, anaseseem, anansegoro, myth.
