WOMEN IN A NIGHTMARISH UTOPIA: THE EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY IN BRAVE NEW WORLD

In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley shows us a society in which technological advances have changed the entirety of human life on earth. The opening of the novel does not strike the reader as dystopian and certainly neither does the title. But as we go on, we find that free thinking is limited or nonexistent by the manipulation of scientific advances like hypnopedia and genetic conditioning. On one hand, Huxley paints a picture-perfect society that is at the height of civilization with genetic and scientific advances. On the other hand, he shows us the nightmarish utopia by the lack of moral values in the society. Utopia turns into dystopia when we witness the inferior role of women and the humiliation of the intellectual. In addition, the natural process of childbirth is controlled in test tubes. Furthermore, there is no place for religion, literature, and family values. Lastly, Huxley warns the readers about what technology devoid of value could do to human beings. What is more, is the effect of technology on women which is portrayed through the image of utopia turned into dystopia: a society that mandates promiscuity in the name of civic duty in addition to the removal of the female body from childbirth. Dystopian literature is by nature critical; hence, women’s inferiority along with the misuse of a gendered approach to technology highlights toxic patriarchy in the society. It shows Huxley’s warning about the destructive effect of dystopia on women.

Combating the Scourge of Security Challenges in Nigeria through Religious Education for Sustainable National Development

Insecurity is the cankerworm that is eating deep into the fabric of this nation. It is a national problem with certain destructive tendencies, hence the need for the enthronement of religious education to save the nation from destruction. Religion, which teaches morality, plays a vital role in the social lives of individuals and society at large. This is because it deals with values, behaviours and attitude exhibited and encouraged by members of the society which enhances national development. Therefore, religion is essential for curbing insecurity because security challenge is always accompanied with tension and anxiety which hinder development. The paper revealed that insecurity is the product of moral decadence in the society, because lack of moral values in the lives of individuals lead to all the vices that result to insecurity in Nigeria. Therefore, government should lay more emphasis on the teaching of religious education at all levels of education in order to inculcate good morals into the youths, curb insecurity in the society and enhance national development. Employment opportunities should be created so as to eradicate poverty, since a hungry man is an angry man.

ENGLISH- ETHICAL VALUES AND EDUCATION: AN ANALYSIS IN PERSPECTIVE OF ISLAMIC ETHICS

Today the contemporary world is facing social, moral, ethical, cultural and political challenges. One of the causes of social problems is lack of moral values in young generation especially the undergraduate students studying in universities. This results in unethical conduct, immoral behavior and actions such as robbery, sexual abuses, drug abuses, violence, and killing have been common among youth all over the world. Societies and nations with morality in youth are more likely to flourish compared to the societies characterized with unethical values. Since, the education is primary source for character building of youth and the contemporary education system of Pakistan is failed to produce ethical norms and values in the youth. The texture of social life is saturated with evil and threats, divorce, adultery, marital infidelity, family disorientation, child abuse and a high living cost which has led to the growth of social crime. Ethical principles are shattered to pieces with little or no social significance. Similarly, students studying in universities are lacking in moral values. Disrespect of teachers, parents, unethical attitude, dishonesty and bad conduct is very much common among university students now a day. Keeping in view this worst scenario, this study is aimed to highlight the unethical conduct of students and Islamic theory of ethics in order to find a solution to improve moral values of students in the light of Islamic teachings.

Problematics of Secular Economic Science Prespective Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi

There is no doubt that capitalism is one of the dominant economic systems today, has been transformed into a new ideology. If the beginning only revolved around free markets, unlimited private ownership, then now it is more of a new culture, lifestyle and even civilization. That dictates all aspects of human life. As a civilization, Capitalism has faced resistance from Islam. Islam, which is usually seen as only a religion, is actually more than just a religion, but includes the basic elements of a civilization. If Capitalism builds a civilization with its distinctive points regarding the theory of socio-economic growth, then Islam does not see it as a basic foundation. Today in Islam, the life of the world is always closely related to the concept of the afterlife. Meanwhile, capitalism separates morality from theology. Furthermore, Islam does not deny the need for rationality to solve the problems of world life, but the rational concept in Islam is not only limited to mathematical logic, it also involves a spiritual dimension. By using the descriptive analytical method, this study produces several important conclusions, namely: First, to overcome scientific problems that have been penetrated by secular Western civilization, Second, the development of the ideology of Capitalism has changed the human perspective in thinking resulting in a lack of moral values and secular ideology. Third, the existence of Al-Faruqi's thought which is based on Tawheed which contributes to a solution to the lack of scientific values which also affects the people's mindset. So from the research results it can be concluded that if a science is successful it will destroy all aspects of life both in terms of ideology or morals.

أهم مشاكل الدعوة الإسلاممة في بنغامديش و الحل المقترح للتغلب علةها

Bangladesh is a Muslim country, and Muslims represent 90% of the entire population. But the problem is that many of them do not follow the Qur'an and Sunnah correctly. As well as they do not follow the law (Shariah) of Almighty Allah SWT. Some of them do not care about religion at all; they are Muslims in the name only. And some of them are interested in religion, and many of them follow the Quran and Sunnah in religious matters only. As for the worldly matters, they do not pay attention to them. And some of them are interested in religion but they are fanatics of a particular doctrine, and dominated by deviation (Bidaah), superstition and polytheism. And some of them adhere to the religion of Islam in general, both in the worldly and religious matters keeping far from Shirk (polytheism) and deviation (Bidaah) being committed to seek the right. They are very few. The reason behind these problems is the absence of the Islamic Dawah on the correct method, and there are also problems in the field of Islamic Dawah. I want to clarify these problems along with the ways of solution on the correct method. In this article, I will focus on Bangladesh, the entry of Islam in it, and the problems of Islamic Dawah in Bangladesh along with the obstacles and problems related to the Islamic Dawah, the lack of comprehensive projects in the Islamic Dawah, and the lack of a sense of Islamic Dawah and some facts which are related to the character of the invited individuals and society, such as ignorance of the mass people about Islam, the non-conformity of the Islamic law in the daily life of Muslims. And the indirect obstacles and problems that prevent and counteract the work of Islamic Dawah exist such as the emergence of the enemies of Islam and their negative impact in the name of Islamic Dawah, and the existence of missionary activities of other religions such as Christianization, secularism and Dahriya. And the impact of the British occupation in the educational system and government, and the lack of moral values in education and publication, cultural colonization, the capitalist and interest-based banking system, and the sedition of women, the existence of a widespread group of deviation (followers of Bidaah), and inborn disintegration. However, there are the expected probability of solving Dawah problems, the proposed solution to overcome these problems, and proposed solutions to funding problems in the field of Dawah.

Of when it was necessary to remind a bishop of his duties: looking into Bede’s letter to Egbert of York

Bede’s letter to Bishop Egbert could very well be seen as an urgent call for immediate changes at the Northumbrian Church. In his letter, the monk from Wearmouth-Jarrow denounces a series of abuses which were being committed by ecclesiastical members of his time. Not only does Bede’s writing denounce the clergy’s lack of moral values and negligence towards the preaching of the Word, but it also proposes specific actions to bring these issues to an end. This paper brings out some key elements from the referred historical source and tries to get some glimpses of a couple of Bede’s views on what the real Church should be like. Scholars such as Blair (1990), Brown (2010), DeGregorio (2010), Mayr-Harting (1991) and Yorke (2014) among other ones have helped us to exploit the subjects which are brought here.

The Failure of the American Dream in “The Great Gatsby”- Fitzgerald

The American Dream is one of the most important issues, which has drawn the attention of literary criticism through many years. It represents the ideals of a nation: equality, liberty, pursuit of happiness and democracy; ideals that have been understood in different ways by people. The real values related to these ideals changed and deviated from what it was meant into the enormous desire and greed for wealth and power. Fitzgerald tried to reveal that social discrimination is present and no one is treated as equal to others. The following research over the novel “The Great Gatsby” demonstrates how the dream cannot be successful because of the way it is misunderstood by the society and people’s materialism view of modern life. The characters and their attitudes through the chronology of the story are the embodiment of disappointment and the lack of moral values in the pursuance of a dream. Qualitative research used in this study aims to give a clear image and a deep analysis of the novel’s major themes, symbols, the period of writing, author’s life, various perspectives of the American Dream and its failure. We expect this thesis to be a good guide for further readings and projects with an explicit goal that the achievement of a dream does not necessarily requires the loss of the self and an excessive significance to what ruins the personal and the others future.

Non-verbal Communication Approach to Inculcating Moral Values in Tertiary Institutions

Having observed that lack of moral values is one of the major causes leading to break down of laws and order and in spite of preaching, sermonizing and talking that seem to yield no positive change; there ought to be something non-verbally that can be done without even uttering a word. Every society is faced with one problem or the other. However, the so-called societal problems, upon careful and final analysis, dissolve in moral problems. The social, economic, religious, political, cultural, technological and educational problems facing nations all over the world are essentially moral in nature and character. The mere rhetoric of been found worthy in character and learning read at universities convocation ceremonies is a far cry from what is actually obtainable. Ultimately suggestion of a network of paralinguistic phenomena that have potentials of enhancing and advancing the moral values of university students are highlighted. It is recommended that para-linguistic theory and practice of non-verbal communication be vigorously applied by lecturers who would be adequately balanced so that students would achieve a combined academic and moral educational worth that will benefit humanity.

The Impact of the Financial Crisis on Business Ethics in the Banking Sector: A Case Study from Slovakia

Abstract The importance of ethical standards for financial markets is based on the purpose of commercial banks and other financial institutions which operate with money of others. Besides significant economic implications, the financial crisis has also revealed considerable lack of moral values in commercial banking, which has been reflected by a very unscrupulous approach of bankers to their clients. The crisis has also caused a fundamental turnaround in public opinions on commercial banking and increased the pressure on application of moral principles in banking, which represents an appropriate complement of banking regulations. The aim of this article is to determine the basic attributes of business ethics in commercial banking and quantify changes in moral attitudes of bank employees in Slovakia through own research, which occurred during the financial crisis. Moral attitudes of bank employees are analyzed in relation to reaching customer satisfaction. The research focuses on identificating satisfaction of bank employees and also on how their satisfaction reflects acceptance of customers’ needs. A part of the research also deals with evaluation of customer satisfaction in the same timeframe. The results of our empirical research show that the low level of satisfaction and loyalty of bank employees is transferred to the low acceptance rate of customer need to sell bank’s products in the banking sector in Slovakia. The low level of satisfaction and loyalty has also caused a decline in the overall customer satisfaction. Index of personal satisfaction of bank’s customers has slightly increased in the examined period, but its current level is still very low.

Cyberbullying and traditional bullying in adolescence: Differential roles of moral disengagement, moral emotions, and moral values

The aim of this study was to investigate whether different aspects of morality predict traditional bullying and cyberbullying behaviour in a similar way. Students between 12 and 19 years participated in an online study. They reported on the frequency of different traditional and cyberbullying behaviours andcompleted self-report measures on moral emotions and moral values. A scenario approach with open questions was used to assess morally disengaged justifications. Tobit regressions indicated that a lack of moral values and a lack of remorse predicted both traditional and cyberbullying behaviour. Traditional bullying was strongly predictive for cyberbullying. A lack of moral emotions and moral values predicted cyberbullying behaviour even when controlling for traditional bullying. Morally disengaged justifications were only predictive for traditional, but not for cyberbullying behaviour. The findings show that moral standards and moral affect are important to understand individual differences in engagement in both traditional and cyberforms of bullying.
