The idea of democracy remains puzzling, as various authors draw attention to a myriad of issues attendant in democratic transitions. Theories of democracy are diverse and point to the universality of rights within prescribed legal parameters, citizen consent based governance, freedom of conscience, rule of law among other relevant factors. Democratic consolidation therefore becomes a key goal to many countries in so far as democratic transitions are concerned.","PeriodicalId":109852,"journal":{"name":"EPH - International Journal of Humanities and Social Science","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124988623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is the root cause of poverty, youth restiveness, gangsters, bank robbery, kidnapping, assassination, and other sort of deviant behavior. The unemployment rate measures the number of people actively looking for a job as a percentage of the labor force. As at March 29, 2015, the unemployment rate of the country was 23.90%. One of the stringent issues in Nigeria is unemployment. These create stunt growth and development in Nigeria economy. Despite the devastating effects of unemployment, the mass media still gives hope for securing a job or creating one for the populace. The mass media tries in its own little way to curb unemployment in Nigeria to develop the economic life of Nigerian citizens. The paper concluded, saying that the nation must see youth unemployment as a monster that is debilitating our collective being. Instead of amassing military arsenal on kidnappers and bank robbers, should fight their root-cause which is youth unemployment.","PeriodicalId":109852,"journal":{"name":"EPH - International Journal of Humanities and Social Science","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131283138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is no literature analysis identifying the ways of measuring spirituality within measuring instruments, making difficult their identification and consideration for the development of comprehensive measuring instruments. This work qualitatively analyzes concepts and measuring instruments of spirituality, religiosity, and faith to identify frequently used scale categories, and to ease future integral multidimensional research by the use of a multidimensional conceptual model. We also analyzed the disclosed scale categories within measuring instruments to find science gaps. We identified four measuring kinds in which spirituality and religiosity are studied. Also, we found that the analyzed instruments measure spirituality, religiosity, and faith partially, according to the found scale categories.

Based on mixed approaches approaches including research interviews and field visits, the article is based on previous literature on community leadership, creativity by individual and specialized literature. Community leadership is analyzed through two deep states of social energy in the state. Research results show that social leadership can help develop creativity, which works in niches and requires care. Community leadership benefits from being an integral part of social networks, common vision and decision-making, but preexisting skills and implicit knowledge also play a role.
