More studios are willing to invest in implementing \u0000diversity in film through both the crew and cast. Still, the diversity that is \u0000added into film is not always genuine and valued—sometimes it is added for financial \u0000incentives. This study aims to determine which genre of film has the least financial \u0000incentive for including diversity. The study employs a meta-analysis \u0000methodology combined with a survey component. Across the action, drama, horror, \u0000and comedy genres, the study will compare quantitative financial metrics \u0000against qualitative audience response metrics to answer which genre of film \u0000adds valued diversity as opposed to using it as a marketing tool. Within the \u0000context of the study, diversity in film is defined as passing two of seven \u0000chosen diversity tests, which are acknowledged by multiple publications as \u0000legitimate. Data sets of box office revenue, total tickets sold, and dollars \u0000spent per ticket are compared to generate a financial perspective. \u0000Additionally, data sets of share of voice and a Likert scale survey are \u0000compared to generate a general audience perspective. The results of the study \u0000yielded the horror genre as having the least financial incentive to include \u0000diversity in film. As a result of modern, diverse horror being valued by \u0000audiences while spending significantly less on average to market and produce \u0000the films, compared to its non-diverse counterpart, a thematic shift within the \u0000horror genre may occur within the upcoming decade.","PeriodicalId":338988,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Mind","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122116133","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 creates different problems in day \u0000to day life of common people. The present study, therefore, attempts to \u0000understand the socio-economic crisis and mental stress in managing the family \u0000within the limited resources of Bangladesh during the lockdown period. The data \u0000was collected via a snowball sampling survey method by using a semi-structured \u0000questionnaire. Datasets were analyzed through different statistical tools like \u0000mean, standard deviation, and percentage. Research shows that female and aged \u0000people are much anxious about being affected. Petty business runners are much \u0000worried about their basic earning. Affording food to a family within a \u0000foreseeable economic crisis, brunt from job loss, the propensity of commodity’s \u0000high price, wariness for child’s academic career through e-learning led people \u0000distressed. Insomnia, fatigue, helplessness, distress are notable problems \u0000during the time of lockdown. Research finds that mental pressure results from \u0000insufficient sleep are creating short temper and chaos in the family and social \u0000life also. Strengthening the medical system, creating mass consciousness, \u0000implicating time-oriented policy with psycho-social upshots can mitigate the \u0000fragility of psychological stress.","PeriodicalId":338988,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Mind","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124355404","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}

While some of them passed through to other countries for \u0000sanctuary, most of them stayed in Shanghai until the war ended. These refugees \u0000represented the Third Wave of Jewish migration into Shanghai. In the light of \u0000the Sino-Japanese war, the governing authorities in Shanghai tried to stem the \u0000influx of Jewish refugees. Despite this pressure, the Jewish refugees managed \u0000to not only enter Shanghai but quickly create thriving communities in the \u0000Tilanqiao area. This paper argues that they were able to do this because of \u0000extensive help provided by already established Jewish communities in Shanghai \u0000and overseas organizations such as the Joint Distribution Committee. The \u0000support provided by these entities is often underplayed in the official \u0000historical reports of this time. Using documentary evidence and refugee \u0000memoirs, this paper will argue that in the absence of this help from the Jewish \u0000communities and overseas organizations, the Jewish refugees would not have been \u0000able to enter Shanghai, escape Nazi persecution and thrive in the way that they \u0000did.","PeriodicalId":338988,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Mind","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129287422","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 finds that Africa’s population increased by over 1 \u0000billion, from 228.7 million in 1950 to 1.341 billion in 2020: 431 million in \u0000Eastern Africa; 404 million in Western Africa; 247.5 million in Northern \u0000Africa; 193.5 million in Middle Africa; and 64.5 million in Southern Africa. \u0000There are four countries in Africa with populations of 100 million or more: 214 \u0000million in Nigeria; 108 million in Ethiopia; 104 million in Egypt; and 101.8 \u0000million in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Of the 1.341 billion people in \u0000Africa in 2020, 755.92 (56.4%) million are aged 24 and younger; and 533.5 (39.8%) \u0000million are under the age of 15. Some factors cited for this phenomenon are: \u0000high birth rates; high fertility rates; childbirth at a young age; low rates of \u0000contraceptive use; decline in infant mortality rates; decline in overall deaths \u0000rates; decline in maternal mortality rates; increase in life expectancy; and decline \u0000in HIV/AIDS related deaths. Some implications cited as a result of this \u0000phenomenon include increase in GDP and GDP per Capita in Africa; increase in \u0000the numbers of billionaires and millionaires in Africa; increase in political \u0000influence of African nations in the international community; and increase in \u0000the number of educated Africans, including those enrolled in college and \u0000college graduates. Finally, the study recommends that African nations should \u0000make the African Union a fully-fledged federal entity to be responsible for \u0000providing healthcare for the entire continent. The African Union should also \u0000represent all member states in the international community, including \u0000negotiating trade contracts or agreements.","PeriodicalId":338988,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Mind","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130068123","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}

Scope: The aim of this study was to explore how people experienced the progress of \u0000events related to the COVID-19 epidemic. Method: We conducted a general \u0000adult population survey by an online questionnaire that included—among others—three open-ended questions. Thematic analysis was applied for each question separately to identify key patterns in the data. Results: The first topic (questions about the epidemic) resulted in four core \u0000themes: concerns about the disease, concerns about the future, concerns about \u0000measures, and concerns about well-being and daily life. The second topic (positive \u0000changes during the epidemic) resulted in three core themes: changes in oneself, changes in close \u0000relationships, and changes in the environment and society. Lastly, the \u0000third topic (requests for psychological support during the epidemic) resulted \u0000in three core themes: direct help and support, information and awareness \u0000raising, and media activity. Conclusion: Overall, the themes that \u0000emerged from our study provide information that can help in understanding how \u0000people perceive the influence on their mental health and well-being of the \u0000negative and (some) positive effects of the COVID-19 epidemic. This may be \u0000helpful in the general preparedness to a feared second wave of the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":338988,"journal":{"name":"Sociology Mind","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117240090","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}
