This paper, through a literature review attempts to discuss the policy environment underpinning the dynamics of prostitution. The following factors have been identified as possible push factors to prostitution: paucity of economic resources, increased phenomenon of matrifocal families; cultural attrition and increased state of moral decadence. Further, discussion on whether to legalise or criminalise prostitution has been pertinent, with forces in support of criminalizing the practice leaning on the phenomenon’s impact to the practitioners’ health and psychological well-being; and the fact that most societies consider it both illegal and immoral. The paper ends up by making the following proposals: Improving policies that foster economic development; strengthening empowerment programmes that will facilitate the practitioners from exiting from the practice; educating the masses on the interplay between prostitution and prevalence of HIV/AIDS; as well as fixing a proper trademark on prostitution.","PeriodicalId":334805,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123923523","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}

For example, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), some of the languages are used in both the public and the private domains while other languages are only used in the private sectors. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the language factors affecting the inferior status of the Katanga language in the DRC. The study examined the impacts of French, English and Kiswahili dominant languages over the status of the Katanga language in relation to the strategies used by its speakers to revitalise its usage. The study employed qualitative research method which used a case study design. A purposeful sample of thirty (30) Congolese-Katanga people was used in this study. Data were collected through interviews. The findings revealed that the Katanga language was endangered since it was not used in the public domains such as education in the DRC. The study recommended the use of the Katanga language at the schools or the universities.","PeriodicalId":334805,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130714231","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 study upon which the paper has been based took the form of a literature review. There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that parents tend to blame themselves upon discovering that a child of theirs has a disability. Some parents experience great difficulty in obtaining medical or educational information to assist them to deal with the disabilities of their children. In addition, the children themselves are often subjected to mistreatment as a result of their ignorance, particularly as a result of having little or no knowledge or understanding of sexuality. Disabled children are also often subjected to being excluded from inalienable human rights such as having access to an acceptable quality of education. In the light of the challenges which they face in these respects, it is recommended that there should be a concerted and a committed endeavour to maximise public awareness and education through the printed, audio and visual media, in order to bring an end to the stigma and the additional challenges, such as social exclusion, which often accompany disabilities for children, by promoting and monitoring inclusive systems for communities and all institutions which are dedicated to meeting the needs of children, including schools.","PeriodicalId":334805,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133724234","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 aim of the study was to explore the relation between life orientation and adolescent pregnancies in the selected secondary schools in the Blue Crane Route Municipality. Qualitative data was obtained through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions conducted with the students, social workers and the life orientation educators. The data were analysed thematically using content analytic techniques. The findings revealed that life orientation did not reduce adolescent pregnancies in the Blue Crane Route Municipality. Furthermore, the majority of the youth within this municipality lived in extreme poverty and opt falling pregnant at an early age to receive a social grant (child support grant) as a means of income for the household. Also, despite being educated on contraception as the means of pregnancy prevention, the students did not use the contraception especially condoms because of the peer-pressure. Therefore, massive unemployment in this Municipality led to the poverty stricken households with its many ramifications. It is recommended that it would be beneficial to this Municipality to request health care practitioners to visit the high schools at least once per month to avail contraception to the female students.","PeriodicalId":334805,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128407218","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}
