Abstract: Concerns about the ethics of selecting the sex of a child predate current techniques of prenatal genetic diagnosis (PGD) and sperm sorting. The only methods previously available were highly problematic, as they involved infanticide or abortion of an unwanted sex. There are less problematic methods than the earlier methods now available. There is increasing acceptance of family balancing as a reason for sex selection, but some people remain opposed to broadening the indications for sex selection of offspring beyond family balancing. Nevertheless, parents may have good reasons other than family balancing for choosing the sex of a future child. The global efforts to restrict sex-selective abortion and gender identification technology do not appear to be working. Son preference still exists in many parts of the world. The UN Statement suggested practical common sense solutions, such as increasing educational opportunities for girls. Unfortunately, effecting such policies is much more difficult than so-called legislative “fixes.” Until son preference is combated, the legislative efforts to stop sex selection will not be effective and may end up hurting females rather than helping them. This paper examines the legal cases of sex selection in Nigeria, with much emphasis on its methods and effects on family balancing. The paper however derives it strength from both primary and secondary materials.

Keywords: sex selection, family balancing, gender identification technology, prenatal genetic diagnosis (PGD).

Abstract: Everything I Never Told You, a debut novel of Chinese American novelist Celeste Ng, portrays the chaotic relationships of the Lee family. It is a tragic story beyond the author’s personal identity and race. As a new literary theory appeared in the early 1980s, New Historicism pays close attention to the relationship between historical context and literary production, examines the mutual molding process of history and literature. For new historicists, literary texts are as important as non-literary texts. New Historicism is also devoted to studying the historical and cultural context, as well as latter’s influence on the course of history. Employing the theory of New Historicism, this paper tries to analyze the interactive relationship between history and text, and get a thorough understanding of this novel.

Abstract: Children’s book is a window through which the young one first see and understand the multifaceted world. When they read out a piece of work they try to connect themselves with the characters and form their own opinion. Since most of the books written reflect heteronormative mentality, children tend to imbibe society’s binary attitude that excludes, all identities that fall short of normative gender standard. Those identities that do not fall into the heteronormative matrix, are often called unnatural or a deviation.  The paper explores the constructed notion of child and childhood through the children’s book The Boy in the Dress by David Walliams. The protagonist of the book is a twelve-year-old boy who likes to cross-dress. By analysing the non-conforming protagonist of the book, the paper looks at the inconsistency of gender and the non-existence of the gender binary.  The paper challenges the stereotypical binary notion of gender and disrupts the universal meaning found within the category of male and female by analysing the children’s novel The Boy in the dress. The paper also tries to reimagine the cultural binaries between natural and unnatural.

Keywords: Children’s literature, heteronormative, gender, cross-dressing, binary, non-binary identities, non-conforming identities, natural, unnatural.

Abstract: This paper explored the travel motivations of visitors who visited and those who plan to visit Tagaytay City despite the risk of contracting the 2019 variant of SARS-CoV2. The study also investigated whether the Inter-Agency Task Force protocols was a determinant factor that motivated visitors to travel to Tagaytay City. The push and pull theory was applied in this study to assess the motivation of visitors to still travel amidst the pandemic. This quantitative study distributed questionnaires to 244 students of the College of Tourism and Hospitality Management in De La Salle University- Dasmariñas. In the analysis, mean and standard deviation were utilized to assess the respondents' level of travel motivations and the level of importance of the IATF protocols. The independent t-test was used to assess if there is a significant relationship and significant difference between the level of motivations and the level of importance of the protocols.

Abstract: Recently all our protests has being broken down into extremely powerful words with an additional symbol ‘#’ which represents the entire essence of those which are called Hashtags. Nonetheless, there continues to be a substantial confusion among scholars, writers, and policymakers about how to integrate the viewpoints of a new wave of progressiveness into our national politics. Hashtag queerness, or feminist activism embodied by Twitter hashtags, has arisen as a potent tool for addressing gender inequities around the world. As social media has risen in popularity in the industry, so have queer viewers. LGBTQ+ individuals are increasingly generally tolerated and respected as society as a whole. Queer citizens have become a constituency with which media companies seek to reconnect after insulting them. Eventually, we demonstrate that queer fan hashtag movements are political initiatives aimed at changing both representational and institutional development practises by capitalising on the value of viewer input in a linked viewing context. This article draws on an analysis into the potentiality and limits of hashtag queerness in order to resolve an unresolved question which is what is the mechanism through which a queer hashtag evolves into a highly recognisable protest? However, in recent years, there have been movements that use fandom as a springboard to discuss other social problems rather than the object of fandom. These altered circumstances contribute to a growing sense that queer inclusion is at the very least a valid request. The campaigns we investigated for this article are #TakePride, #LGBTFansDeserveBetter, #LoveisLove, and mostly all other indian pride campaigns to intervene in both advocacy and activism and fans command of the platforms used by the industry to ensure viewer participation.

Keywords: Twitter hashtags, social media, media companies, media ecology.

Abstract: Portraying the relationship between man and his deep wild savage self is not an easy task. One of the best representations of this relationship was put forward by William Golding in his novel, Lord of the Flies. Recently, Malayalam cinema also made a contribution to this list, with the movie Jallikattu. This paper explores the popular Malayalam film Jallikattu directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery and explores the different messages proffered by the film. It examines the romanticized image of toxic masculinity deeply injected into the viewer’s consciousness by popular mainstream cinema. The paper also probes into the theory of evolution by natural selection and how the theory becomes applicable in the movie. Being true to its role as a representative of Malayalam cinema in the Toronto International Film Festival, Jallikattu bashes the toxic masculinity rooted in our society and becomes a metaphor of the highly competitive world, where men are willing to kill each other for gaining what they want.

Abstract: The Reduction a form of artistic abstraction by expressing something in symbols that imply the content of the idea or reducing the essence with simplifying and shortening the details, This is done by reducing the content of visual and expressive information, as reductionist thought has the ability to flexibility, develop and grow in the plastic arts across ancient human civilizations and in modern and contemporary ages, with the ability of reductionism to facilitate the delivery of information and ideas. reduction in children's book illustrations is a method in which more than one formal formula for the elements is extracted to facilitate the child's assimilation to receive them, and there are proportions and levels of shorthand in the illustrations for children's books.

Abstract: To explore the impact of COVID-19 on major crimes, including sexual offences and crimes against minors under 18 years old in Jamaica, by comparing the number of cases reported by the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) in the year 2020, with those reported six years prior to the pandemic (2014-2019).

Methods: Monthly cumulated data on major crimes, sexual offences and crimes against minors for the period January 1, 2014 -December 30, 2020, was obtained from the JCF. The five-year period (2014-2018) was used to calculate a monthly and annual threshold for each crime type using monthly/annual means and 95% confidence intervals.  Differences in the number of crimes reported during 2020 were determined by comparison with the historically set monthly and annual thresholds for each crime type as well as with those reported in the previous year, 2019. The offences are represented as the number of cases reported per 100,000 population.

Findings: Compared with the historical threshold, there were significant reductions in homicides, rapes, indecent assaults and sex against minors; however, there was no decline in the reports of grievous sexual assault.  Compared with 2019, there were significant declines in rape, indecent assault and crimes against minors but no significant decline in homicides.

Conclusion:  This exploratory study provided an initial assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on crime during the first year of the pandemic in Jamaica.  These findings, provide the basis for an in-depth analysis into the impact of COVID-19 on crime especially, gender-based violence and crimes against minors. Also, they highlighted many issues such as crime against women and minors under 16 years.

Keywords: COVID-19, Major Crimes, Sexual Offences, and Crimes against minors.

Abstract: On May 30, 1956, Egypt was the first Arab and African country to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. The two nations have a common solid will to strengthen and develop their participation and coordination on all fronts. There is most likely that the merging in arrangements will enable further strengthen relations. The two nations support an arrangement of non-interference in their foreign relations, call for win-win participation among countries, and reject double standard models in managing worldwide dangers, for example, terrorism. The two nations likewise call for change of universal organizations, for example, the UN Security Council, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Egypt likewise invites China to venture up its part in tackling the issues in the Middle East. At the point when President Xi Jinping reported the Belt and Road Initiative, the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, in 2013, Egypt was one of the first nations to welcome the initiative. Egypt is likewise an establishing individual from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. China, on its part has indicated solidarity with Egypt in the previous years. On the other hand, China is strengthening its relations with Arab countries aimed at strengthening its political, economic and cultural ties within the framework of a Chinese strategy to strengthen relations with so-called neighboring countries including Central Asian countries and the Middle East. China shows importance to the Arab countries, which is to end US hegemony over the region and achieve a political, economic and military balance. Egypt’s large population provides a consumer market for inexpensive Chinese products and the country’s strategic assets can also further China’s interests in the region Egypt in return can offer China economic and geo-political influence in Africa and the Middle East. As a traditionally influential player in the Arab world a closer relationship with Egypt could give China political goodwill in the region.

Abstract: The relationship between the Vietnamese Communist Party (the Party) and the Vietnamese people (the People) is a core content of modern Vietnamese politics. Since its inception, the Party has permanently attached itself to the people, always acted for the people's interests. With its wise leadership in the cause of national independence, national reunification, and the renovation cause, the Party has received the trust and support from the people. However, in the current context of globalization and extensive international integration, due to many subjective and objective reasons, people's confidence in the Party sometimes and somewhere has declined and negatively affected this relationship. Therefore, it needs to find out the cause for the decline of the trust of a part of the people towards the Party. The article analyzes some international factors affecting the relationship between the Party and the people on both positive and negative aspects, thereby contributing to finding solutions to promote further the close relationship between the Party and the people in the coming time.
