It has scientifically proved that childhood is the most creative period of human life. It is the basic building block of human development. One of the famous humanitarian personalities of the world, Mahatma Gandhi rightly said "If we are to have real peace, we must begin with the children." It is necessary to make this period safer, creative. But it is worldwide threatening to the children from the terrorism and different kinds of child abuse like child labor, child trafficking, gender discrimination, prohibition from the education etc. Nepal is one of the countries which are not out of them. It is the time for thinking how to safe children. Though Nepal has already formulated laws regarding the child right, but they are only "paper tiger". So, it is necessary to implement the existing laws and abolish the all kind of discrimination and child abuse and follow the international convention relating to child right.

The Ideal

In the Greek Classical period, the symposium—the social gathering at which male citizens gathered to drink wine and engage in conversation—was held in a room called the andron. From couches set up around the perimeter of the andron, symposiasts looked inward to the room’s center, which often was decorated with a pebble mosaic floor. These mosaics provided visual treats for the guests, presenting them with images of mythological scenes, exotic flora, dangerous beasts, hunting parties, or the specter of Dionysos, the god of wine, riding in his chariot or on the back of a panther. This book takes as its subject these mosaics and the context of their viewing. Relying on discourses in the sociology and anthropology of space, it argues that the andron’s mosaic imagery actively contributed to a complex, metaphorical experience of the symposium. In combination with the ritualized circling of the wine cup from couch to couch around the room and the physiological reaction to wine, the images of mosaic floors called to mind other images, spaces, or experiences, and, in doing so, prompted drinkers to reimagine the symposium as another kind of event—a nautical voyage, a journey to a foreign land, the circling heavens or a choral dance, or the luxury of an abundant past. Such spatial metaphors helped to forge the intimate bonds of friendship that are the ideal result of the symposium and that make up the political and social fabric of the Greek polis.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> In 17&amp;ndash;18<sup>th</sup> century, the spread of the image of the Qing Imperial Garden witnessed the cross-cultural exchanges and promoted the development of English Landscape Garden style. The reciprocal ‘far away foreign land’ between Chinese and British cultures and the influence of historical context had caused the discrepant view of European on Chinese gardens. This project focuses on the differences of cultural heritage values found in the two kinds of gardens: from the design of space and structure, poems and paintings representing designers' concepts, humanities factors, design conception, gardening elements and etc. Which hopes to fill up the gaps of relevant studies and stress the importance of documentation for gardens between the East and West. There are three aspects to illustrate the inner differences under the surface similarities between the two kinds of gardens. Firstly, the distortion and discontinuity through out the introduction and translation.This research attempts to cross-examine such an argument through an investigation into the journey to the West by the carrier of Chinese Imperial garden ideas. Then the meaning of ‘views of nature’ in the English Landscape Garden was inconsistent with the Chinese concept of ‘natural state of the world’. Thirdly, the differences of historical background, culture and values between the Qing Imperial Garden and the English Landscape Garden. All in all, this research could well invite a more factually-based understanding of the Sino-English architectural interactions as well as the Chinese contributions to the world architecture.</p>

The most significant share of child laborers in the world is in agriculture and plantations, where they do various types of agricultural jobs, ranging from small to medium family farming to large agricultural, plantation or agroindustry businesses. The ILO estimates that more than 132 million girls and boys aged 5-14 years old are involved in planting, harvesting agricultural products, spraying pesticides and raising livestock in rural areas and plantations worldwide. The child labor phenomenon in tobacco plantations in Jember Regency has existed since the Dutch colonial era. Several studies have been conducted concerning child labor in tobacco businesses, such as YPSM (1988), Pusat Analisis Sosial Akatiga Bandung (1994 and 2002), Mahbubah (2003), revealed that the problem of child labor and its influencing factors are the "constant" issue. This phenomenon is ironic, considering that Jember tobacco is one of the leading export products for Indonesian tobacco, which significantly benefits the country and entrepreneurs. Although child labor has been banned, many plantations in Jember Regency still employ children. Many factors contribute to child labor in several plantations in Jember Regency, including economic and educational factors. Abstrak: Bagian terbesar pekerja anak di dunia bekerja di pertanian dan perkebunan, di mana mereka melakukan berbagai jenis pekerjaan pertanian baik usaha pertanian keluarga berukuran kecil maupun sedang hingga usaha pertanian, perkebunan atau agro industri yang besar. ILO memperkirakan bahwa di seluruh dunia lebih dari 132 juta anak perempuan dan laki-laki berusia 5-14 tahun terlibat dalam kegiatan penanaman, pemanenan hasil pertanian, penyemprotan pestisida dan pemeliharaan ternak di wilayah-wilayah pedesaan dan perkebunan. Fenomena pekerja anak di perkebunan Tembakau  pada Kabupaten Jember sudah ada sejak zaman penjajahan Belanda. Beberapa penelitian yang telah dilakukan mengenai pekerja anak di usaha tembakau seperti yang dilakukan oleh YPSM (1988), Pusat Analisis Sosial Akatiga Bandung (1994 dan 2002), Mahbubah (2003) menunjukkan bahwa masalah pekerja anak dan faktor-faktor yang menyebabkannya merupakan masalah yang “konstan”. Hal ini tentu saja menjadi sangat ironis mengingat tembakau Jember merupakan salah satu produk andalan ekspor bagi tembakau di Indonesia yang banyak memberi keuntungan bagi negara dan pengusaha. Meskipun telah dilarang akan tetapi masih banyak perkebunan di Kabupaten Jember yang mempekerjakan anak, hal ini karena terdapat banyak faktor yang menyebabkan mengapa anak masih banyak yang terlihat di beberapa perkebunan di Kabupaten Jember, salah satunya adalah faktor ekonomi dan faktor pendidikan. Kata Kunci : Pekerja Anak, Perkebunan tembakau, Kabupaten Jember
