Under transculturalism, cosmopolitanism is pivotal in transcending ethnographic and cultural borders. Zadie Smith’s avant-garde effort to acknowledge people around the globe about the perks of a communal society is phenomenal. Her novel addresses thematic concerns of immigration, postcolonial conflicts, globalization, multiculturalism, and identity. Previously, her novel was read and discussed as a postcolonial text. However, this research paves the way to re-read it through a liberal lens and delineates the cosmopolitan approach proposed by Kwame Anthony Appiah. The novel invites readers to consider the complexities of living in a world where cultures intersect, clash, and coexist. This article explains the relationship between the main characters in addition to the bildungsroman of the second generation. The generational differences within families highlight the evolving nature of cosmopolitanism as the characters attempt to reconcile their heritage with their present circumstances. Zadie Smith’s technique of inter-narrativity rekindles hope in global citizens to build a transcultural society together. The article directs the audience to see beyond the postcolonial intrusions and accept intercultural changes as challenges needed to move and grow in this era of globalization.","PeriodicalId":480281,"journal":{"name":"Journal of humanities, social and management sciences","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136368689","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 was hypothesised that husbands of women with breast cancer would significantly suffer from more psychological distress, stress, anger, and somatic symptoms than husbands of healthy women. Using the purpose sampling method, a total of hundred participants (n = 100), including fifty husbands of women with breast cancer, while fifty husbands of women without breast cancer (healthy women) were selected from Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. The ages of husbands ranged from 31 to 50 years with mean age (M = 41.57; SD =5.91). Data was gathered through the Personal Information Form and other measures like the Psychological Distress Scale, Subscales of Stress, Anger and Somatic Symptoms Scale. Statistical analysis through independent samples t-test revealed a significant difference among husbands of women with and without breast cancer in relation to psychological distress, stress, anger, and somatic symptoms. Husbands of breast cancer patients are more prone to develop psychological problems as they encounter extremely tough challenges in life. From acceptance to breast cancer treatment, they face new hurdles with constant psychological pressure in psychological issues like psychological distress, stress, and somatic symptoms.","PeriodicalId":480281,"journal":{"name":"Journal of humanities, social and management sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136368735","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}
