| Discussion on the Origin of Happiness Below Philosophical and Theological Perspective | Author : PhD. Dinh Van Chien | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Before going into this topic, we must clarify the concept of "Happiness" from the perspective of "Philosophers". as well as the term "Happiness" of "Theologians". If "Philosophy" studies happiness from the perspective of human reason and that reason proves that happiness is the satisfaction of humans internal "material and spiritual" needs in a direct or indirect way (the current understanding is that this perception is proven from scientific theory). Or we can understand Philosophy as the truth of reason. Then "Theology" of happiness belongs to the belief of man about God revealing the world (Gods revelation to man is to create needs for man and give man to satisfy those needs), Theology is the truth of faith. However, that faith is not only expressed in words but must be lived out in real life of man. And that happiness lies nowhere else but in the truth of truth. Mans happiness is the truth that reigns in the relationship between man and God and between man and man. Jesus said: “The truth will set you free” [John 8:32]. That is true liberation, that is true liberation. Truth is truth.

| Empowering English Teachers: Technology for Resource Utilization | Author : Richard Jegadeesan, P, Dr. G. Annie Rajani Priya | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Technology has become integral to modern education, transforming teaching methods and classroom dynamics. For English language teachers, it offers opportunities to create engaging, interactive, and adaptive learning experiences through tools like language learning apps, virtual classrooms, and multimedia resources. However, the availability of technology alone is insufficient. Educators must develop digital literacy, resource management, and adaptability to maximize the benefits of technological integration. This article explores the critical role of resource utilization skills in English language teaching (ELT). It highlights how these skills empower teachers to address diverse learner needs, adapt to various learning styles, and overcome traditional challenges in language instruction. Effective use of technology enhances engagement, enables personalized learning, and improves student outcomes. Despite these benefits, barriers such as limited training, resistance to change, and inadequate infrastructure often hinder technology adoption. The article offers actionable recommendations, emphasizing the importance of training programs, continuous professional development (CPD), and institutional support to equip teachers with essential skills. By addressing these gaps, this research advocates for empowering educators to effectively integrate technology into ELT. The findings guide educators, policymakers, and institutions in fostering a technology-driven teaching environment that meets evolving educational demands and enriches learning for students worldwide.

| The Power of Nature Becomes Social Power in the Sustainable Development of the Market Economy | Author : To Thanh My | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The content of the article aims to clarify the transformation between natural power and social power, in which humans are the mediators of this transformation. The power of nature becomes the power of each individual, but the total power of individuals becomes social power. The power of society becomes the dominant force; individuals become products, and it carries the instinct of a species. The content is approached from human philosophy and social philosophy, at the same time using qualitative methods to analyze, synthesize, compare, and contrast between individual, natural, and social power. In particular, the inversion method clarifies the transformation between natural and social power in the commodity economy. The conclusion affirms: first, human survival is always unified, balanced, and transformed with nature, making the power of nature become the power of humans; second, human life is separated from the natural world, making humans different from other species. The life of other species has the instinct of possession, but human life satisfies the ability, which is creativity; third, human creativity is divided into subjects and products. Products are not only the object of survival but also the power of their fellow species, which is social power; fourth, social power becomes the force that dominates humans, manifested in the life of standards and money; fifth, standards and money dominate human life, manifested in the exploitation and transformation of nature, causing ecological imbalance, environmental pollution, and depletion of natural resources caused by money and different standards.

| Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, Social Change as Catalysts to Yoruba Popular Music | Author : Ògúny?míAdébáy?´ Olúdáre Ph.D. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This paper interrogates how elements of African-American cultural practices that were imported to Lagos by returnee slaves influenced the social changes that heralded the emergence of a new form of popular music in Yoruba land. The paper also examines how this popular music of the Yoruba people made a stylistic return to the western shores and are now gaining recognition. The paper hinges on the intercultural theory by Akin Euba. Exploring ethnomusicological approach, the paper relies on archival and ethnographic sources to extrapolate data. Discussions in this paper are tailored towards establishing how the musical practices which were hitherto of African origin, were taken to America and Europe by captured slaves from Yoruba hinterlands, returned to Yoruba land and contributed in forming a musical identity that eventually shaped the history of popular music development in Yoruba land. The study samples genres of music like Highlife, Juju, Afro-beat, including recently introduced hip-pop in Yoruba land which owe a part of their birth to trans-Atlantic experiences of the slaves. Today, these particular genres of music fall into the category of World music in both the America and the Western world. This paper concludes that these genres of music, birthed in Yoruba tradition (African in general), transported to the America, later made a return to Yorubaland, historically, cannot be totally severe from slave of Yoruba extractions interactions with the Western world. The paper prolongs discussions on identity formation beyond African-American to how the American experience of slave returnees have shaped the Yoruba identity.
