Social Deprivation and its Threats to Social Well-Being According to The Perspective of Maqasid

Social deprivation is a universal phenomenon happening throughout the world. Social deprivation will affect community’s social well-being. In the life of a modern community, it is very important to ensure that the level of social well-being of the community is stable to achieve the potential of the people's social life. Through researcher’s perspective, indicators or aspects of social well-being listed by The United Nations Research Institute on Social Development (UNRISD) does not emphasize the aspect of well-being in terms of religion and ukhrawi (otherworldly). This paper will discuss some of the social depravity that is happening in the society to the point of affecting the community’s social well-being. Drug abuse, free sex and prostitution, black magic, homelessness, committing suicides are among the factors that will affect the wel-being of the society. Many factors are causing social deprivation in society, internal or external factors such as the negative influences of mass media, lack of religious and moral education among society members, irresponsible family members, poverty, sexual promiscuity as well as individualistic society. Social well-being needs to be nurtured and defended from things that can be disruptive such as the issue of social deprivation. Social well-being is closely related to the maqasid syariah where the elements of well-being can be adapted into five (5) elements of maqasid namely the protection of faith or religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. We will achieve a high level of community’s social well-being if we can create a positive and conducive environment. Hence, all the following elements such as; education, the formation of the environment, and effective policies and law enforcement must be included to solve social deprivation.

Dedication, Termination and Balché

The material plays a fundamental and active role in the social lives of people, from objects like containers or buildings to food and other consumables. In this paper, evidence from absorbed residues are used to explore the contents of an Ulúa-style marble vase found in a royal courtyard at the ancient Maya site of Pacbitun in west-central Belize. Those results indicate that the vase once held concoctions containing cacao, willow and possibly vanilla. Significantly, the results also confirm residues of the important Maya ritual drink balché, in an ancient container. By placing the vase and its contents in the history of Pacbitun, we demonstrate the important role of this object and its contents in dedicatory rituals practiced in this region; we argue that subsequent disturbance of the context and the vase in antiquity points to the fragmentation of kingship.

Scopus and Web of Science were sought databases. The findings are reported analytically using important works of contemporary social theorists. The analysis focuses on three interconnected themes: technology advancements have harmed vulnerable people; pandemics have macro- and micro-dimensions; and structural disparities. To conclude, we believe that collaborative effort is the key to combating COVID-19 and climate change, while understanding the lessons learnt from the industrialised world. Finally, policymakers can decrease the impact of global catastrophes by addressing many socioeconomic concerns concurrently.

The scientific and life path of the outstanding comparative psychologist N.A.Tikh

The article explores the life and scientific work of Nina Aleksandrovna Tikh (1905–1983), an outstanding Russian zoopsychologist and comparative psychologist, and professor at Leningrad (St Petersburg) State University in 1951–1975. She followed V. A.Wagner, was a student of V. M.Borovsky, and was a colleague of N. Yu. Voitonis, N. N.Ladygina-Kots, G. Z.Roginsky, and M. F.Nesturkh. She made a significant contribution to the development of comparative psychology and zoopsychology. Tikh conducted observations and experiments on animals and birds; she published about fifty works, of which four are monographs. Tikh’s main areas of interest were the origin and development of human consciousness, thinking, speech, and social behavior. Most of all, she was engaged in the least developed problem of anthropogenesis: the history of the transformation of the herd life of human ancestors into the social life of people. For sixteen years Tikh studied the prehistory of social life, observing the herd life of apes in the Sukhumi Monkey Nursery, the medical and biological station of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences. Tikh concluded that living together in a herd would not have advantages over individual life without mutual help. The materials of these observations, their analysis, and an attempt to reconstruct the development of the hominid community from the herd life of animal human ancestors were included in the final monograph Prehistory of Society, which is a fundamental scientific work.

Digital Literacy Perspective: Reflections on Education

Today's society demands more and more different types of skills. These skills need to be used not only to strengthen the capacity to use information for social and personal development purposes, but also to manage potential risks associated with mass media and digital media.

COVID-19 is reshaping the future of the globe by having an unprecedented impact on people's social, political, and economic lives. This pandemic is being characterized by health crisis as well as economic crisis. Pertaining to the negative demand & supply shocks and the decrease in revenues, profits, and investment due to COVID-19, many business and economic institutions are paying heed to subdue the post-pandemic economic recession.

Pakistan has faced several economic downturns due to natural disasters: particularly the flood in 2010 and the earthquake in 2005, as they caused the loss of numerous lives, infrastructure, businesses, and irrigation land. The present study reviews the response and effectiveness of government and different institutions in previous natural disasters. This analysis provides policy recommendations to deal with the current crisis. The study concludes that Pakistan failed to get the full output of its recovery plans due to lack of preparedness & coordination, lack of understanding, insufficient knowledge & planning, the ineffective role of central management, and other institutional or management issues. It further recommends that Pakistan should act more effectively against natural disasters and restore its previous economic pace by eliminating the gaps in its economic and disaster management policies.

While 43% of the respondents belonged to nuclear families, 57% of them belonged to extended families. Eighty-three percent of respondents reported high levels of support from husbands for housework and office work. In conclusion, although Sri Lankan women encounter significant difficulties, they are inclined to maintain a balance and adaptability between work-family tasks.
