Abstract: The paper aims to chart out the affiliations between e-technology and our biological selves and of how hypertext and evolution are similar in their setup. The study of literary Darwinism will form the background of the discussion including the physical, social, psychological and then the literary evolution and adaptation of man. Darwinian literary studies explore the mental evolution of man through the form of literature and analyses how literature served as a tool for our survival and adaptation. It examines the gap between a slow and gradual physical evolution of man and the sudden revolution in the human culture in terms of technological revolution. This has further led to the engagement with vast animated culture in the form of electronics giving rise to certain terminologies such as hypertext which assimilates colloquially with the biological process of evolution.

Keywords: Cognition, Evolution, Hypertext, Literary Darwinism, Technology.

Abstract: The work studies the nexus of economic growth and energy resources, (coal in particular) for a Sustainable future of the Indian economy. The work makes use of a secondary data. In this regard, we use GDP as a measure of Economic Growth, Coal – (coal consumption, production, total availability and the amount of coal used for power generation) for Energy Resource. Looking into all the available data and studying the various aspects of the same, here we are going to go ahead with quantitative research followed by descriptive and analytical form of research and also the data would be put through the statistical test (Granger Causality Test) for the final analysis of the study.

A comprehensive study regarding the economic growth of Indian economy since Independence and the role of coal towards the same is dealt upon in the second chapter. Through the historical review and also based upon the statistical test done, we see that there is a nexus between economic growth and that of coal as an energy resource, thereby its impact on ecology is no longer on the path of Sustainable Development.

The work highlights the fact that over-dependence on coal and other non-renewable energy resources can cause long run damage to the economy. This brings in the need to shoulder upon other alternative renewable energy resources to meet our energy demands.

Indian government needs to change its development strategies as well as step up their policies and take strict actions for a sustainable future.

Keywords: Economic Growth, Energy resources and Sustainable Development.

Abstract: In this study, data were gathered to assess the writing weaknesses of the students and process-genre based expository writing lessons were designed. It is concluded that the lessons provided opportunities for the students to acquire an understanding of the purpose and structure of the expository writing genre through cause and effect, classification, and process and of the processes of rewriting, drafting, revising, and editing, and enable them to use that knowledge to compose a text, both as a group and individually.  The lessons were constructed using the ADDIE model of instructional materials development. These can also be adopted for use by teachers handling English either as the main instructional material or as supplementary material on teaching writing.

Abstract: After mobile revolution hit India and took it by storm, every other person started possessing mobile phone. Earlier to this revolution, only elite people used it. That was the time when one had to pay charges even for picking up an incoming call. Telecommunication and mobile technology has been subject to rapid technological development. Attributed to this, soon after basic mobile phones were available to the masses, multimedia phones arrived in the market and then, it was time for Smartphone. The interface of Smartphone is extremely interactive and unlike multimedia phones, offers a wide range of features that not just revolve around entertainment but also extends to facilitate learning and education. There is an app for just about everything, from e-learning facilities to entertainment, information, safely, gaming, dictionary, social networking and so on. But the issue here is to know that whether users are utilizing all the varied features of their Smartphones or are they just sticking to entertainment and social networking rather than playing on the complete package that the Smartphone has to offer. What users actually utilize their Smartphone for? How much are they using it? : Duration, frequency? & for what all purposes? This curiosity led the investigators through the development and completion of this study. There is a need to re-conceptualize learning for the mobile age, to recognize the essential role of mobility and communication in the process of learning, and also to indicate the importance of context in establishing meaning, and the transformative effect of digital networks in supporting virtual communities that transcend barriers of age and culture. e-Learning is the use of electronic media and information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. Present study was entitled as – Smartphone as an e-learning Resource. The objective of this study was to understand access of e-learning utilities on Smartphone and the utilization of e-learning utilities on Smartphone. The study was survey in Nature. The sample size of this research is 95 individuals. The data was collected from various Smartphone users. The researcher used random sampling technique for selection of sample. The age group of respondents was between 17 - 45 years. Respondents were 58 males and 37 females. To analyze demographic profile and media profile, frequency percentage were calculated. For analyzing responses gathered through scale statements, frequency percentage and chi-square were used. Findings were analyzed on the factors like Learning Apps, Availability, Experience, Usage, Updation, Learning Value and Barriers. This study can be used as a reference for further research. It gives an insight upon the usage, preferences, experiences of Smartphone users, thus have varied implications in this particular regard.

Abstract: Democracy is an ambiguous concept. It means different things to different people. This is why different nations think it right to work out their own brand of democracy. A democracy that is indigenous to their culture and which relives the political worldview of their people. On the other hand, international community tends to have one ideal concept of democracy: a democracy of two or three party systems, rooted in the rule of law and due process, grantees human freedom and respects human dignity. Indigenous democracy upholds communitarianism, cultural values, respect for custom and tradition, dialogue and negotiation for conflict resolution. This is the paradigm which Afro-asiatic nations recline towards; while ideal democracy, if it truly exists, is the paradigm which the west is putting forward as the political ideal for all nations of the world to adopt. The oldest paradigm is that of conception of democracy as “house rule”. What we can deduce from these paradigms are:

1. The indigenous democracy and western democracy are all paradigm shift from the oldest paradigm concept of democracy as “house rule”.

2. Both indigenous democracy and western democracy are not pure democracies but representational democracies.

3. Representational democracy is another name for injustice, marginalization, and under development.

Leadership, on the other hand, refers to the plans and policies which are meant to influence the citizens and direct them towards the realization of set common goals. Leadership in a democratic setting employs democracy as a structure to deliver good governance. As a structure, the leader can as well ignore the structure and operate with other private structures or pseudo-structures in order to realize not common goals but group or selfish goals. This is the travail of Nigeria in the midst of debate between democracy and leadership in Nigeria.

Keywords: Democracy, leadership, Nigeria, and national integration.

Abstract: With the increase in complexities of contemporary time, social media has become an indispensable part of life as social websites and applications proliferate. Social media is the collective of online communications channels dedicated to community-based input, interaction, content-sharing and collaboration. It has been gestated that celebrity is an organic and ever-changing performative practice rather than a set of intrinsic personal characteristics or external labels. The social ecosystem is steadily growing, which means marketers must be more strategic than ever when engaging with consumers across social networks and devices. Loneliness has been associated with increased usage of internet. Escalations in narcissism prove to be a potential risk to developing young adolescents in terms of their emotional and psychological health. Even the researchers agree that the lives of ordinary people have the 21st century, especially has undergone a significant transformation in terms of their media and communication habits. This has affected all age groups in disparate societies, and people in each and every aspect of their life.

Abstract: The expression ‘juvenile’ has consequently been said in legal understanding as an expression symbolizing correlation; as a name signifying capability; and as an expression of exclusive fortification. Primarily these substitutive stipulations are very dissimilar notions regarding the juvenile. These involve bearing in mind a juvenile a load, which appeals to the right to protection and sustenance; concerning juveniles as persons with momentary intellectual incapability, construction of rights to unique handling and unique prejudice; dealing children as particularly susceptible, to make certain of the rights to safety; and be familiar with juveniles as assets for the nations prosperity, imposing development and progression. Therefore it doesn’t emerge to be at all a decisive feature or systematic consideration for shaping a under aged: the age bracket in several legislations seems illogical or founded on social and civilizing awareness. The juvenile laws and exercise of children wellbeing has gone by major changes from an historical viewpoint. Previous to 1839, to have power and exercising that power was essential. It was a recognized general legal principle that the father had unconditional rights on his child. Later, the wellbeing opinion was imitated in the central ideas of the family. Victorian judiciary, who urbanized the wellbeing law, preferred one dominant family form. The nations point of view on wellbeing is stands on daya, dana, dakshina, bhiksha, ahimsa, samya-bhava, swadharma and tyaga, the spirit behind it was ‘self-discipline’, ‘self-sacrifice’ and ‘consideration for others’. It was assumed that the welfare of juveniles is based on these principles. Juveniles were beneficiaries of wellbeing method. The demand for judiciary’s discretion on authority to settle on whilst to treat an accused as a major or a child will show the way to confusion instead of firmness in law.
