Noting that most programs under the current decentralized system have placed more emphasis on community based approach to child welfare, it is only safe to conclude that social development shapes the understanding of district officers in the two districts under study. It became apparent that the district officers’ understanding is more related to the concept of devolution, which entails divesting the decision-making power to grassroots level. The practice on the ground, however, suggests that devolution in the two districts is achieved albeit to a limited extent. The changes are consistent with the functionalist thinking of change and progress.","PeriodicalId":334805,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114253160","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}

This is believed to be a result of poverty and its concomitant ramifications. Through the use of a review of literature methodology, the aim of the paper is to explore factors surrounding pseudo prostitutions in institutions of Higher learning in some developing countries. The following factors were found to underpin the phenomenon: poverty and lack of a viable financial support system; sexual permissiveness; cultural fusion; and peer media pressure and sexuality. The following perfidious and ramifying factors have been associated with the phenomenon. Prevalence of STDS; the dangers of backstreet abortion; loss of academic focus; and passion related crimes. The paper recommends: sufficient financial assistance and income plan of students especially the girl children by relevant stakeholders; moral restoration through the facilitation of FBO in institutions of Higher learning; desensitizing the sex subject; improved edutainment campaigns on STD and drug and alcohol abuse; tightening the residence access control; proving sufficient entertainment activities. The Moral Development Theory has been found befitting in analysing the birth and perpetuation of pseudo-prostitution in tertiary institutions.","PeriodicalId":334805,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134403306","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}

Dreams are considered prophetic or to have an ominous significance. This paper explores the reality of dreams in prophetic functions within the Tshivenda speaking people in South Africa. Ten students from the School of Human and Social Sciences were interviewed qualitatively on their experiences on dreams and the understanding of interpretations thereof. The researcher was motivated by a dream, which was experienced by a minor in the family and it came to pass within three months. Dreams in this study are categorized into those that emanate from continuous thoughts of a human being and those that are supernatural from divine intervention. The second category is the one that can come to pass, either as it is or as interpreted.","PeriodicalId":334805,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY","volume":"137 S239","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120853335","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}

The findings revealed that most students that were involved in the study were between the ages of 18-22 years old and were single in status (that is, they were not married). Furthermore, the study revealed that alcohol and drugs were prevalent in the University of Botswana. The study therefore, suggested that regular campaigns targeted at alcohol and drug users and addicts should be carried out in order to create awareness of the negative effects or impact of alcohol and drugs abuse in higher institutions of learning to the students.","PeriodicalId":334805,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133588083","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}

Africans without their languages will be disconnected from their own histories and cultures. English as a foreign language is spoken by many people in Africa, mainly as a lingua franca, as a more practical alternative for both local and international communication. Others see English as a language that entrenches unequal power relations, that helps to enslave, colonize and continues to dominate and prevent millions of Africans from participating in the economic, social, political and educational development of their countries. As English becomes more dominant in Africa, other African languages become sidelined. Indigenous African languages are regarded as being less commercially viable in the publishing industry. Thus, English becomes a form of gatekeeper, depriving some people access to higher education and employment.","PeriodicalId":334805,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131880840","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}

Good working conditions include perks and benefits. Underpinned by the Four Drive Model of Employee Motivation, the study sought to examine workers’ views on staff retention measures at the workplace. The study adopted a mixed methods approach. A concurrent triangulation mixed methods design was employed. The study found that availability of medical allowances and pension schemes was disregarded at the workplace and that career advancement was not taken seriously as staff members who wanted to advance themselves were not supported. The study concludes that there were seriously negative issues regarding staff members’ job satisfaction in the institution under study. The study recommends that institutions should have clear recruitment policies and that basic and attractive conditions of service should be put in place to attract staff and enhance job satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":334805,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121347493","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 has been stated that Bert Hellinger, a pioneer in CW developed this intervention method whilst being inspired by the Zulu culture in South Africa where he worked for 16 years as a missionary. The connections, commonalities and differences have never been explored in-depth. The paper endeavours to fill the gap in understanding the connection of Zulu cultural concepts and CW. The analysis shows similarities and differences in terms of values, cultural concepts, the acknowledgement of life, relationships with ancestors and family members and healing rituals within CW and Zulu culture. CW seems to be an adequate transcultural intervention method to contribute to healing, therapeutic work and understanding of systemic family constructs across cultures, not only in South Africa, but also abroad.","PeriodicalId":334805,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115186585","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}
