Bring Me Problems, not Solutions |
Author : Peter Kalina, MD, MBA, FACR |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Historically, mitigating employee complaints followed the adage don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions. Today, leaders are gravitating toward the opposite paradigm; bring me problems, not solutions. There are many reasons for this transformation in management philosophy. To optimize solutions and outcomes, we must consider diverse perspectives in dealing with a specific problem. Groups can accomplish much more together than any individual can on their own – regardless of their wisdom. Finding solutions to problems should not be a solo sport. |

The Impact of George W. Bushs Political Discourses on the Invasion of Iraq: A Corpus-Based Rhetoric Discourse Analysis |
Author : Hayder S. Alkhafaji |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Through political speeches, the use of language plays an important role in shaping the political goals and activities of politicians. Political speeches have gained a lot of attention in recent years as a result of media coverage, and they have sparked a lot of curiosity. Manipulative language usage allows the speaker to exert influence over others without their will, with the control focusing on the recipients verbal contributions to the conversation and cognitive processes of reception and interpretation. The current research looked at power dynamics in President Bushs speeches, concentrating on semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic manipulation levels, as well as the impact on the receivers mental models. In this study, the researcher used Hallidayan Systemic Functional Linguistics to take a close look at George W. Bush s political discourses on the 2003 Iraq War. To accomplish this goal, Ten G.W. Bush interviews and speeches were gathered from various sources. Using Halliday s systemic functional linguistics as the analytical framework, discursive techniques, power relations, hidden meanings beneath the vocabulary, and the structures employed in the speeches were extracted and developed on. The study concentrated on the linguistic choices made only within three functions or meanings of the Hallidayan model. As a result, passive and active voices, nominalizations and emotive language within the ideational meaning, modality within the interpersonal meaning, and thematization (or theme development) throughout textual meaning were chosen to be analyzed in President Bush s comments about the Invasion of Iraq. Following the investigation, the researcher concluded that George W. Bush had manipulated the above-mentioned language traits. He had used these language methods in his favour and against the Iraqi people and Saddam Hussein, the countrys president at that time. Furthermore, language research indicated that the previous US president made every effort to convey his country s superiority and hegemony. |

Preliminary Exploration of Dharma Mudra and Social Entrepreneurship for Humanistic Buddhism |
Author : Lung-Tan Lu |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Dharma Mudra includes: (1) All phenomena are impermanent (2) all Dharma are not-self, and (3) the eternity is Nirvana. The purpose of social entrepreneurs is to transform the society, not to make profits. Their spirit is to solve social issues in the way of commercial power and business operation. Venerable Master Hsing Yun spared no effort in promoting Buddhism throughout his life and is a successful social entrepreneur in our views. He believes that the Buddhism of freeing from desire may be practiced by a small number of practitioners and monks. On the other hand, the majority of sentient beings must implement the Buddhism of reducing desire. In an interview, Venerable Master Hsing Yun said that Fo Guang Shan has hundreds of Buddhist temple and dojos all over the world, and they were not built by one person, they were all made by everyone. If you want to be successful yourself, you must first let others succeed, and you will succeed as living among the sentient beings. |

Author : Pédro Marius EGOUNLETI |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This research aims at identifying both teaching and learning styles of Beninese EFL teachers and learners so as to examine the impacts of these styles on students academic performance. Quantitative and descriptive research approaches have been used to collect data in 10 state-owned and private secondary schools through (2) types of questionnaire addressed to 20 EFL teachers and 200 students. In addition, a structured focus -group was organised with 12 EFL teachers to better understand their teaching style preferences as well as their impacts on their students’academic achievements The analysis of the data collected reveals that EFL students are different from each other in various ways; there is no standard teaching style and that a variety of technical and methodological resources is needed in the classroom so as to meet all learners needs; a match in teaching and learning styles enhances students motivation and achievement whereas a mismatch results in students failure. In order to prevent any hindrance to EFL teaching and learning process, this study suggests that EFL teachers be aware of their students learning styles and try to harmonize them to their teaching practices. It also recommends that government recruit enough professionally qualified EFL teachers and organize seminars and periodical trainings for them. |

Author : Tran Thi Yen,Tran Minh Ngoc |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Writing is an important aspect of language instruction since it is a necessary tool for students to develop their understanding of linguistic elements in practice. Nonetheless, when the teacher asked students to compose an English paragraph, several students struggled to put their thoughts into words appropriately. Not only do they struggle with syntax and vocabulary, but they also have trouble identifying and developing ideas. One of the weaknesses of certain students writing ability is that the execution of concepts is not clear and consistent, and they still rely significantly on sample essays. Accordingly, in this research work, the researchers purpose is to use the Think-Pair-Share technique to improve high school students English writing performance. The main objective is to build a procedure for creating and evaluating the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) Technique, to assess the impact of the TPS on students writing performance, and to collect feedback from them on the benefits and drawbacks of the TPS technique, as well as possible solutions to promote the use of TPS technique. The experimental research design was utilized to begin the study, along with many questionnaires and expert approaches. A total of 40 students were chosen at random, half of them were assigned to the experimental group (TPS technique) and the remainder to the control group (no TPS technique). All of the students were required to complete a writing pre-and post-test, but only the experimental group were required to complete the post-questionnaire. The findings show that using the TPS technique in the classroom can result in considerable improvements in writing performance. In addition, all of the students gave excellent feedback. Furthermore, the study offers some recommendations for eliminating the drawbacks of applying TPS in order to enhance the techniques potential and make it significantly more fascinating and useful. |

Negative impacts on the economy, social life, and humanity are critical, and history will still refer to this period as a dark picture of all humanity. The complicated and unpredictable changes of the epidemic forced all countries to find ways and use all resources to respond. However, along with new strains, the evolution of the disease is becoming more and more sophisticated. A complete end to this epidemic may not be possible. Therefore, people worldwide have determined to live with COVID-19 and adapt to the situation. Vietnam is no exception to this trend.

Limitations on Interfaith Marriage Practices in Indonesia According to Human Rights Perspective |
Author : Andrew Betlehn |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Fundamental human rights in include the right to marry and start a family. The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia assures such right in its Article 28B. An exception to such right is through Article 2 paragraph 1 of the Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage which states that marriages are only deemed legitimate if they are done according to each religion or belief. This prevents Indonesian citizens from having interfaith marriages. This paper aims to discuss such restriction in carrying out interfaith marriage in Indonesia in relation to the fundamental human right to marry and start a family. The result of the research shows that while Indonesia is based on the Pancasila which underlies the provision of the Article 2 paragraph 1 of the Marriage Law, it still has the obligation as a living ideology to be protect all Indonesian’s interests, including families born out of interfaith marriages, and that the UDHR as an expression of the international community, clearly states the freedom to marry with no limitation due to religion. |

This sampling strategy ensured the deliberate inclusion of the planned areas of the municipality (Main Town, Diobu (Miles 1, 2 and 3), and Oromineke Layout, which are expected to still bear the footprint of past (colonial) planning for water delivery, and at least one of the old indigenous enclaves now being transformed into modern residential neighborhoods.Finding revealed that the challenges of public water supply in Port Harcourt municipality is not due to the absence of institutional framework, but low investment towards water infrastructural development, a situation that has led to dilapidation of existing water facilities in the municipality.Among the challenges militating the provision of water by public water supply agenciesin Port Harcourt include: inadequate investment/funding , vandalism /encroachment on water rights –of- way , and lack of political will. Others are Indiscriminate sitting of water projects , Lack of state owned laboratory for water testing, and issues relating to sustainability

Author : Dr. Seema Bhakuni, Sunita Kala |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The origin of yoga dates back to the Vedic era, when the Indian saints stressed the importance of meditation among their disciples to concentrate on studies. They started practising ‘yoga’ and it started to spread in other countries due its spiritual and physical importance. The ‘Rigveda’ though, stresses on the importance of yoga and despite the fact that it is valued by many people till now, it started gaining momentum after the declaration of the International Yoga Day on 21st June 2015. Considering its importance, first yoga university was opened in 2013 in Gujrat. Many schools introduced a yoga teacher and a period for yoga practice in the schools. The corporate or the service sector where the employees have to bear the long working hours without the opportunity to move in different directions, have no strict law related to practice of yoga. Generally, the employees either sit or work in the same posture with only a break for taking lunch. Yoga is widely practiced on 21st June but there is no provision for its practice on the other days. If yoga is introduced in the workplace as a norm, it will help the employees in remaining fit; mentally and physically both, which will result in maximum productivity from their end and the same will ultimately affect the organisation positively. The need of the hour is to understand the importance of yoga in the workplace to maintain a healthy workforce to get the desired outcome. |

Family Policy as A Social Investment: An Effort to Initiate the Decentralization of Social Policy in Indonesia |
Author : Ahmad Taufiq, Moh. Fadli, Fadillah Putra,Nurul Badriyah |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :According to the definition of Law No. 10 of 1992, family planning is no longer just a matter of birth control but is more broadly related to issues of family resilience and welfare. The discourse of social policy decentralization has become a global discourse in the last two decades. Decentralization has produced many well-targeted policies, including family-based development. Pasuruan Regency has a fairly strategic policy, where environmental issues become a substantial aspect of family sustainability. Various programs are offered that lead to aspects of family-based development and community survival. So that in this research it will be interesting if there is a decentralized implementation model of social policy that sees the family as the direct beneficiary target. So that the gap between the ideals of family policy and family welfare is not only expected to be answered with the implementation of social policy decentralization but is also expected to be more targeted if the beneficiaries are families. This seems like wanting to place the family as a measure of development success. This makes it necessary to pay attention to Pasuruan Regency government policies in implementing social policy decentralization with an emphasis on family-based development policies that have a positive effect on family welfare and resilience in Pasuruan Regency. |

CULTURAL DYNAMISM IN NIGERIA WITH REFERENCE TO CHINUA ACHEBE’S THINGS FALL APART |
Author : Dr. Mexan Serge EPOUNDA |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This article aims at raising the different aspects of life of Nigerian people prior independence and exalting inheritance or profit this people has gained in return after their encounter with the white man. It is certain that the issue of colonization has been the concern of many African and even non-African writers. In fact, colonization has disrupted the socio-economic and political structures and replaced traditional values by another system of values that are not suitable for African customs. From the image the white man has painted Africans, colonization does not acknowledge the existence of pre-colonial values. Hence, by necessity, the African writer is placed in front of an essential and complex duty, that of reconstituting the actual image of his group, rehabilitating the past in substituting to the distorted image depicted by the colonizers the African vision of history. Accordingly, Chinua Achebe is one of those intellectuals who have tried to make his readers realize the specificity of the African personality. This state of affairs has been his preoccupation in Things Fall Apart, his first novel published in 1958. He has proved in this book that the encounter of Africa and the West has resulted in a clash of cultures. |

The influence of Plato and Aristotle on Leo Strauss |
Author : Dimitrios Karakoulas |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The article deals with the influence of Plato and Aristotle on the philosophical work and thought of Leo Strauss. Significant issues are approached, which are directly related to the Platonic and Aristotelian views of politics, always in connection with the direct crisis of nihilism brought about by the age of modernity. The interpretations given should be taken as a result of Strausss own research into the history of philosophy in an attempt to deal with political problems philosophically. Given that Strausss approach to Platonic and Aristotelian texts is unorthodox, the philosopher attempts to address complex political issues through the scope of their reinterpretation in a selectively synthetic way. |

Author : Tran Van Sang, Nguyen Thi Lien |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Having been developed from the 1980s to the present, the conceptual metaphor theory, which has been accepted as a scientific foundation with fully explainable ability, allows researchers to understand and interpret world categories through the system of ideas that are experienced in language. In the light of cognitive linguistics, metaphor is considered as one of the forms of conceptual thinking, reflecting peoples ways of thinking and conceptualization of the world around through linguistic expressions, a cognitive mechanism through which the logic of abstract concepts is replaced by the logic of more concrete concepts. Within the scope of this scientific paper, we draw attention to the conceptual metaphor of color, in which blue is a mapped source concept to a different target domain perceived by the Vietnamese. |

Author : Apyewen, Ande Utensati, Nuhu, Dantani, Weyi,Josephine Joseph |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The paper examines effects of prosperity gospel on contemporary Nigerian Christian church and society. It discussed its historical origin and noted that it was birthed in USA and since the seventies now spreading among Nigerian Christian churches and society like corona virus. The study used historical and descriptive methods in its analysis. It discovered that most prosperity teachings are misused, thus, giving a false impression and interpretation about what the Bible really teaches. Finding revealed that, prosperity teachings in a way gives one a sense of hope, direction and reassurance that the life one lives can get better if one can only have faith in God. Equally, it was observed that the prosperity preachers or churches are quite correct in pointing believers to God and the wonderful promises made in his word in order to get their needs met. However, many of these preachers or churches have misused the gospel for monetization, lust for materialism, crimes and selfish advantages and thereby impoverishing their congregation the more rather than improving their lots. This in-turn has reduced the spiritual and moral capacity of the people in the church and society. The work recommended among other thing that the purpose of gospel preachers today should rather focus on doctrinal issues related to desire for the kingdom of God, soul-winning, salvation of man, hard work and good conduct in the church and society than lust for materialism and commercialization of religious activities. |

Managing Disruptive Change through Leadership in Schools |
Author : Remigio Chingara |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Prior to the Covid-19 global pandemic, school heads used to operate within known boundaries, with clear parameters, with set duty roasters, with clear lines of accountability and rules governing most things. Bureaucracy and by implication managerial leadership was the preferred approach to leading and managing. However, the context in which this approach was preferred has changed significantly because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Schools are now operating within prescribed Covid-19 guidelines. A raft of new measures such as physical distancing, wearing of face masks, hand washing, use of sanitisers and other public health protocols are now part of the new practices to reduce the spread of the disease.
The new normal in school leadership has proved more difficult than the preCovid-19 one. It is a completely new ball game altogether, with no precedent or blueprint to learn from and yet school heads have to thrive in this unfamiliar territory. The problem is that they are now operating in an unfamiliar context, with new unfamiliar roles. This paper draws attention to the leadership practices that school heads can use to manage this disruptive change brought by the Covid-19 pandemic. It draws on lessons from experiences from elsewhere in the world to provide leadership practices that school heads can use. |
