Abstract:Pornography viewing afforded through advanced technology has become a widespread social phenomenon globally and has contributed to changing the terrain of human sexuality in both positive and negative ways. Technology in form of computers and internet has made the availability of pornography faster and easier than ever before. However, the media provides unfiltered sexual explicit materials which when coupled with the loose regulatory mechanisms may expose university students to pornography. This paper explores the prevalence and factors contributing to viewing of pornography among male students in selected universities in Kenya.

Title | : | Advertisements through unclad babies vis-à-vis their Child Rights |
Country | : | India |

: | 10.9790/0837-191160817 |
Abstract:The subject of the use of infants and children in advertising is becoming a major concern in
developing and developed countries. There are many organisations and NGOs that have compared children
being part of advertisements with child labour. But the topic of this research paper goes far more indepth and
tries to see if using clippings of unclad babies will violate their rights of privacy and other related rights. The
researcher, through this paper, wants to protect the rights of those babies whose rights are being violated (may
be) unintentionally by the Advertisers or their parents because of lack of awareness or lack of proper dwelling
on the subject.

Abstract: This article is an attempt to explain the definition of "Style"as the word and its meaning, studying the opinions of Contemporary Researchers in the "Style". We note that this term has disappeared from the mainstream of Modern Criticism at the time the term "Stylistic" taken its place crystallizing and forming its features and become a semi-independent study.

Abstract: Education is the structuring of a situation in ways that help students change through learning and learning is a change within the student that is brought about by the instructional programme of a school. The importance of school as a model of the society in helping them become responsible citizens cannot be overlooked. The present study was conducted to investigate the indirect effect of Cooperative Learning Strategy in Mathematics instruction on the creative thinking skills of standard VIII pupils.Quasi experimental design was employed in the study. From the same school, one standard VIII class was randomly selected as the experimental group and another as the control group for the experimentation.

Abstract: Sustainable development entails a dynamic integration of a "responsible" socio-cultural and "environment friendly" economic development. It cannot be achieved without equitable and judicious allocation of resources intra-generationally as well as inter-generationally. Gender equality is therefore a precondition for not just social development but for the protection and conservation of the environment too. However, in the present socio-economic fabric the inequalities are "deeply gendered". So, a look at the problems of biodiversity and sustainable development from an eco-feminist perspective becomes a tool that enables to bring into the mainstream the women who are marginalized from contributing to the decision- making processes relating to the sustainable use of our natural resources.
