There is an increase in stock problems in the contemporary era. Various economic issues no longer have conventional nuances but are integrated with the digital world. Numerous applications and website portals have been created that promise attractive profits when investing and selling shares on their forums. Investing in stocks became a lucrative business with little effort put into its application. The highest power is vested in the largest shareholder, not in workers who have direct contact with the business it self. Problems arise when discussing the legal validity of the event. This is due to the presence of trade monopoly indications and capitalist elements. Furthermore, the concrete stock issues never discussed by classical ulemas are likely to differ from those discussed by current ulemas living in modern or postmodern society. Therefore, it is considered far more relevant to view contemporary economic problems such as stocks in light of contemporary ulema's views. This article examines the views of famous classical ulemas of their time, as well as contemporary ulemas, regarding stocks in general. This study uses a comparative analysis with a normative review of Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia.

A reference to ethics in a Law Review may lead one to think of the subject in terms of the relatively narrow perspective of ethics in their application to everyday legal practice. Happily, no such restriction was placed on the contributors to this special issue of the Victoria University of Wellington's Law Review. The result is a remarkable diversity of approaches, fully illustrative of ethics as the branch of philosophy concerned with human behaviour and conduct.

In this paper I develop a conceptual framework for predicting the impact on adolescents of various facets of parental demandingness and responsiveness. My focus is on effective parenting during the early adolescent transition when Time 3 data were collected as part of the Family Socialization and Developmental Competence Project (FSP), a longitudinal program of research . I first discuss sociopolitical and developmental features that impact on the adolescent-parent relationship and then contrast two views of the parent-adolescent bond which are dubbed and contemporary. FSP findings on effective parenting are presented, followed by a discussion of the implications of the early adolescent data for the classic and contemporary views.
