Abstract: Various nations of the world had acted independently, not until the 1800s when the western nations began to invade the black race through what we might call colonialism and imperialism. Colonialism and imperialism lays the foundation for the harmonization and distortion of culture particularly in Africa. While some argue that these western colonialists came to the aid of the countries they colonized, others argue that they rather came to exploit the resources of the colony. Different nation or group are differentiated by their cultural identity, nevertheless no cultural identity is mutually exclusive. Harmonization and distortion of culture could occur either by the invasion and domination of external forces or when a given nation give themselves over to such distortions. The trend of distortion of culture particularly in Africa context are on a very high increase. These can be reflected in almost every aspect of living;..........

Title	:	Charism As of Old: A Search into the Original Vision and Mission of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Egbunu, Fidelis Eleojo (Phd)
	:	10.9790/0837-2209077177

Abstract: Our search into Charism as of Old is simply an enquiry into the vision and mission of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. This led us into a painful realization that in many respects, the entire members of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, nay the entire Catholic fold have, perhaps missed the mark at one instance or the other. That as a movement or an initiative which sprang up at a certain stage of the Church, certain unhealthy ideas, practices or abuses have cropped up, which would have crippled the original vision and mission under one cloak or the other. Applying the sociological, historical and descriptive methods in this work, relevant epochs were highlighted, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal is redefined.........

	:	10.9790/0837-2209077890

Abstract: The intricacy of the conflict situation in J&K is defined not only by intermeshing of the external (India-Pakistan) and internal (Delhi-Kashmir) dimensions but also by the intra-state political divergence. The deeply plural character of the Jammu and Kashmir politics makes it imperative to devise instruments and processes for restructuring the rules of the game so as to ensure that power sharing is inclusive. The multiplicity of its ethnic, religion, linguistic– regional – cultural character as well as the growing identities and regional consciousness in the three regions - Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh has also left a deep impact on the overall politics of the state. It is in this context of conflict...........
