Abstract: This review elucidated the theory of realism under two categories. The first category was the romantic realism, while the second category is the true realism. The former involves drama with idealized subjects mounted in an extremely detailed and historically accurate settings with costumes. However, in the second category called true realism, the plays based on non-idealized contemporary subjects were presented in settings designed to reveal a significant interaction of the character’s environment and action. This concept therefore provided a truthful representation of the real world which is based on direct observation of contemporary life and manners.

Keywords: Romantic realism; True realism; Early Drama; Realist.

Abstract: This paper is an exploration of the role of women in peacebuilding within the African context. The paper specifically draws from the role and the position that women have played in peacebuilding in Africa and the challenges that they undergo. Some of the challenges discussed will be the exclusion of women in decision making and the role of illiteracy among various. The arguments presented here are grounded on the understanding that gender disparity is a deterrent factor in the achievement of peace and stability and the general development of African states. The study takes a comparative approach, with Liberia and Congo nations as cases under consideration. The two countries are examples of African countries that have suffered through civil wars. Often, women and children have been the most affected. The paper bases its arguments on Resolution 1325 that acknowledges the role of women in conflict and peacebuilding. In the closing remarks, the research advocates for heightened support of women involved in peacebuilding strategies in order to foster the stability of African countries.

Keywords: Peace Building, Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Women, Resolution 1325 Challenges.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to highlight the current status of the Contraceptive Logistics Management Information System (CLMIS) as it relates to the prevalence of contraceptive stock-outs in Jamaica. Contraceptive stock-outs have the potential to reverse, hinder and stagnate the progress of a country’s socio-economic development. For the purpose of this survey, 50 survey sites were selected using stratified random sampling method. Data was collected by the National Family Planning Board (NFPB) through a 37 question Logistics Indicators Assessment Tool (LIAT). Interviews were conducted with the point person managing contraceptives at each facility. The findings points to a 17% stock-out on the day of the survey. This was mainly attributed to stock-out of the Male Condom. For the six months period leading up to the time of the survey, stock-outs of the three main accepted contraceptive methods (Depo-Provera, Microgynon and the Government issued Male Condom) were noted. The findings from the survey, along with subsequent clinic visits and monitoring encouraged initiatives for capacity building in contraceptive forecasting methodologies and techniques, adjustments to record-keeping materials and others which led to the strengthening of the CLMIS.

Abstract: Over the years, the female fraction of the population was perceived to be inferior to the male fraction, in all societies all across the world. The inferiority was mainly attached to the important roles in society such as decision making in sensitive matters. The perceived inferior nature of females was evidenced by their inability to take part in important economic, religious and social matters. The only place where a woman’s voice was recognized was in her house, although it was still highly restricted. In African countries, this practice remained in place for a very long time and even today, some aspects of the patriarchal operations are still in place. History has shown that there is a significant difference in the rate of socio-economic development, between communities which embrace gender equality and those which discriminate women. The difference is attributed to the different types of capital such as human capital and financial capital. This paper is going to address the relationship between gender equality and economic development, specifically in Rwanda. The paper will show some of the programs and mechanisms put in place for the purpose of enhancing gender equality. The current economic development level will then be assessed in comparison to that of the period when the programs and mechanisms were being initiated.

Keywords: Empowerment of women, Gender equality, Economic development.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent of knowledge possessed by teachers to enhance communication skills of learners with speech and language disorders. The study is guided by Vygotsky’s Social Interactionist Theory. The study location was Joy town special primary school and the school teaching staff purposively sampled constituted the study population. This research used a descriptive case study design using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The design primarily used questionnaires for teachers, interview guide for the head teacher and observation schedule for teachers. Qualitative data was analylized thematically while descriptive statistics was used for quantitative data. The study instruments used were validated by the supervisors’ suggestions and expert judgment. The reliability was determined by pre-testing the questionnaires on the purposively selected teachers in the school under the study. The study found out that learners with speech and language disorders are heterogeneous and require recognition by knowledgeable personnel. The study findings indicated that the majority of teachers are aware that speech and language disorders significantly affect the communication skills of learners but lacked adequate knowledge to accurately articulate their needs. It was also revealed that majority of teachers have so far not been trained on speech and language disorders and that they lack adequate knowledge and skills needed to make the correct diagnostic and therapeutic measures to competently intervene and remediate speech and language disorders. The study further showed that teachers lack sufficient materials and support to enhance the communication skills of learners with speech and language disorders. However, it was observed that although most teachers are not conversant with speech and language disorders, they are actively involved in enhancing reading skills, spelling competencies, instructing learners about pronunciation, promoting play skills and interest in games as well as making referrals for further diagnostic assessment and therapeutic considerations for learners with speech and language disorders. The major study conclusion is that majority of teachers are not adequately trained to competently work with learners with speech and language disorders. Teachers require maximum support to ultimately realize optimal educational goals for their learners. The available minimal assistance is not enough to adequately support learners with communication disability. The study is significant because the findings are expected to adequately inform the appropriate allocation of resources and training support for educational professionals to broaden their understanding of speech and language disorders.

Abstract: The Israel Palestine conflict has long been contested in the international arena. After World War II, Israel was recognized as a state and this was not well received by the Palestinians. Today, Israel is still in violation of international law as it continues to possess West Bank and displacing Palestinians for the Jewish occupation. The US has played an integral role as a key ally evidenced by its recent decision to move their embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This paper seeks to assess the motivating factors of the relocation and consequences on Israel-Palestinian relations. The move is set to impact diplomatic relations and influence policies in the Middle East.

Abstract: Man has ascribed to himself the position of God on Earth amidst other entities in the world by virtue of epistemic priority. How valid is the truth of this epistemic claim founded on human rationality? There are different forms of knowing: instinctive knowledge, sensual knowledge, rational knowledge, intuitive knowledge and infused knowledge. Each entity in the world by virtue of ontological hierarchy has access to one form of knowing or the other. How do we justify that rational knowledge is the highest form of knowing by virtue of which man can claim transcendence over and above every other entity in the world? Some philosophical traditions like materialism hold that humanity is like every other entity in the world, it is not transcendent and therefore is not capax dei (openness to God). Other philosophical traditions like rationalism or idealism maintain that humanity is ontological, prior to other entities in the world. This is transcendent and therefore, capax dei.

Keywords: philosophical traditions, humanity, ontological capax dei.

Abstract: People’s needs and motivations are complex and they are likely to seek satisfaction at an economic level and also at deeper levels, involving emotions, cultural norms and values, group affiliations, etc. (Chisnall 1995). choice and consumption of a product are based on a cognitive decision-making process and take account of stimuli surrounding that choice and consumption. Past experience, sensory perception, and emotion affect are important influences but, at some point of the experience with the product, an evaluation based on some criteria (objective or not) is made by the consumers of that product. The structure of the study is based on a review of the most widely used models in the marketing field to explain and predict consumer behaviour. Special emphasis is given to the application of those models to food. One important conclusion of the study is that product quality is a summary construct, which subsumes many other aspects of the product. This conclusion is in accordance with the ‘multi-attribute’ approach to food quality, where quality is regarded as a multi-dimensional phenomenon, and overall quality is described by a set of attributes as perceived by consumers. The buyer then forms an overall, one-dimensional quality evaluation by some weighing of the various attributes, which will determine its choice (Grunert, 1997). In summary, from the models described in this section perceived quality can by conceptualized as a global assessment of the product based on extrinsic or intrinsic cues.
