Bullying is deeply engrained in American culture because the society is at the pinnacle of capitalistic competition and power. It has become quite an epidemic in schools and workforce [1], [2]. School bulling is characterized by unwanted and repeated aggression among students in the presence of a power imbalance and with the intent to cause fear or distress [3]. Here, we will discuss how, with new technologies, bullying has entered a new realm.

Schools are often a focal point for community involvement. The findings by Rogoff [1] emphasize community interpersonal and personal planes. The study focuses on the investigation done by the researcher, which highlights the social practices that promoted a student- centered approach to developing participative decision making and collaborative skills. This paper proposes a framework which focuses on a strategy through participation and interactions within a community experience. Social interactions with a skilful tutor allow the learner to observe and practice their skills. According to Vygotsky [2] much important learning by the child occurs through social interaction with a skilful tutor. In the light of the above evidences, communities are rich learning laboratories. Fieldtrips make the students more empathetic and tolerant. Educational field trips place children in a different social environment. Through this paper the significance of educational field trips, which are commonly conducted for students as an effective strategy to enhance community scaffolding is highlighted.

As one of the effective ways to improve the internationalization of China's higher education, Sino-foreign cooperative education is an indispensable part of the higher education system in China. The high-level form of Sino-foreign cooperative education----Sino-foreign cooperative university can carry out all-round and deep cooperation with foreign first-class educational resources.

Cyber-bullying/cyber-incivility refers to any harassment that occurs via the internet, cell phones or other devices. Communication technology is used to intentionally harm others through hostile behaviour such as sending text messages and posting ugly comments on the internet. The increased frequency of this cyber incivility among people, both young and old and the negative psychological and organizational impact it has on victim have made it interesting topic for researchers nationwide. The National Crime Prevention Council defines cyber-bullying/cyber-incivility as ―the process of using the Internet, cell phones or other devices to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person [1], [2]. Cyber-bullying/cyber-incivility is not limited to grade school, middle school, or high school—it also appears in postsecondary education. It‘s also not just an American problem, but occurs across the globe [3]. Cyber-bullying/cyberincivility must be recognized as a higher education issue. College and university administrators should work on policies that develop guidelines for dealing with this issue on campus and with more on-line education and faculty working from home, in the home.

It is well known that Greece has a long-standing tradition of cultural history and that its tourism relies, to a large extent, on showcasing ancient art, as well as byzantine art, whose specimens can be found in a multitude of museums all over the country. Masterpieces from antiquity, famous architectural works that are part of the world’s cultural heritage, and works of art of considerable aesthetic value have been a magnet for expert scientists, art aficionados, and the wider public from all over the world who want to feel the “vibes” emitted from the works of art and feel, through their senses, the “aesthetic pleasure”, as the privilege and “talent” inherent to all human beings. The COVID-19 pandemic which emerged in most countries of the word in the past three months (from March to June 2020), together with the lockdown consequently imposed by most governments, has given rise to unprecedented situations not only in matters of health, the economy, and people’s interpersonal relationships, but also in terms of the reception of culture during such period. In Greece, for the first time, the most important and most popular museums in the country have implemented schemes allowing for virtual presentation of exhibits to such an extent that traffic on the relevant websites has skyrocketed as compared to the past. Online platforms, which in other cases had only been used for research purposes, have been sought in order to promote the “product”. All of a sudden, works of art were treated more like a consumer product, and this resulted in the citizens not feeling the charm of direct contact and personal emotion and functioning without any provocation of the senses. On the other hand, online visitors have been able to access cultural sites without any obligation whatsoever to reward the efforts of the many people involved and the cultural institutions themselves. The new situation has given rise to many questions, among which the most important relates to the concepts of “virtual” and “real” which are mostly under the current new state of affairs

Africa has a wide variety of beliefs and practices which are sometimes shared by many other societies. Such beliefs and practices are derived from the people’s cherished cultural heritage that connects the past with the present. Children’s literature is one channel through which such beliefs and practices are employed and transmitted to build and inculcate morality in children, morality being an important ingredient in nation building for a viable nationhood, especially in the 21st century. The major problem staring Africa in the face in her attempt to attain genuine nationhood is the problem of failed leadership, occasioned by corruption, ineptitude and bad governance. This paper, therefore, evaluates the importance of children’s literature in society as a viable tool for laying solid foundation and effecting moral uprightness in the youths who are said to be leaders of tomorrow. It advocates a re-invigoration of Literature and History at the lower levels of education in schools in order to help children make moral choices.

This study was conducted in Kinondoni municipality specifically in five wards of Wazo, Bunju, Kinondoni, Kunduchi and Kawe. The central objective was to examine the impact of microfinance on socioeconomic welfare among women. The reviewed literature concentrated on women’s involvement in microfinance as well as the extent to which women are connected to poverty. The study used descriptive cross-sectional survey where data were collected at once. Researchers used closed ended questionnaire because it is the effective data collection tool for quantitative studies. The study results show that, an average of 65% of women involved in microfinance realized positive improvements such as business performance, self-esteem, saving ability, and participation in decision making. However, more than 70% average of women participating in microfinance were challenged by lack of entrepreneurship trainings, lack of alternative source of income, short loan repayment period and harassment due to loan repayment failures. It was concluded from the study findings that, provision of loans alone would not simply uplift women out of poverty. In spite of the positive results of microfinance on women’s socio-economic empowerment, the evidence has shown that those women with alternative sources of income benefited more than those whose income was dependent on microfinance, therefore other services such as entrepreneurship trainings and grace period among others would have played a significant role to uplift poor women clients out of extreme poverty if they were put available

Modernism saw the liquidation of the individual, but through the character of Leopold Bloom, Joyce tries to raise anew the question of individuality. Joyce calls out the hypocrisy of the so-called ‗faith‘ that had turned more demonstrative than personal. Try as one may, Bloom does not fit into any categories, nonetheless, he faces persecution, the focus of vicious anti-Semitism over the course of the day. A single day depicting Dublin's anti-Semitism plays against the larger backdrop of the anti-Semitism that was sweeping Europe in the beginning of the twentieth century. Bloom does not represent a one-dimensional orthodox or even the assimilated Jewishness. The nature of his identity is complex. It reveals the distinctions between Jewishness and non-Jewishness as constructs based on imagination and perception rather than on fixed criteria. Joyce, thereby, plays with and counters common stereotypes about Jewishness. A bird‘s eye view of the novel, I believe, reveals that Joyce is less concerned with how Jews as a community survive, through jibes and physical attacks, than how individual men survive. All of this is made vivid through the interior monologue, a variant of stream of consciousness. Exploiting this technique, through his oeuvre, Joyce reinstates the individual—free of all identities.

Suicide at any age is a catastrophe for the individual, his or her family and friends, and the communities of which they are a part. At societal level suicide is a major social and health problem. The factors that impact on an individual that lead to choosing suicide as an alternative are multidimensional. At the same time, the associated fact is that suicides in different societies occur differently. Thus, different suicide rates have been associated with different countries, sub-regions and regions and world at large. In this background, it may be argued that suicides occur in all societies of the world in different contexts due to variety of factors. The society of Kashmir is fast becoming a land of suicides -Suicides and suicidal tendencies among Kashmiri male and female youth have accomplished a dangerous level. In Kashmir women too faced many issues which strengthened the tendency of suicide among them. They too have restored to suicide attempts and most of them have been successful in doing so. The trend of suicide among women in Kashmir brings up the question of what causes it. Unfortunately, suicide among women in Kashmir receives less attention in research, literature and media compared to young adults and adolescents. It appears that the topic is been hampered by issues of visibility. In this context the paper entitled suicide among women in Kashmir: A question of social standing will try to explore the factors responsible for suicide among women in Kashmir
