Thirukkural is a global public repository that is acceptable to all people of the world across country, race, language and religion. This book explains how the human race pursues many purposes for survival. The purpose of this article is to explain some of them. There is no difference in the human race by birth. They excel in the ups and downs of what they do. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people. We must love those lives and live those lives. The best virtue is to live without jealousy, denial, anger and hatred in the mind. The people's representatives who rule the country should be understood as those who alleviate the suffering of the people, fulfill their needs and live happily. These motives are being followed by the people today and the human race is functioning better.

Philosophical Nature

The question of the Russian man – his past, present and future – is the central one in the philosophy of history. Unfortunately, at present this area of philosophy is not suffciently developed in Russia. Partly the reason for this situation is the lack of understanding by researchers of the role played by Russian classical literature and its philosophizing writers in historiosophy. The Hunting Sketches, a collection of short stories by I.S. Turgenev, is a work still undervalued, not fully considered not only in details but also in general meanings. And this is understandable because it is the frst systematic encyclopedia of Russian worldview, which is not envisaged by the literary genre. To a certain extent, Turgenev’s line is continued by I. Goncharov (the theme of the mind and heart), L. Tolstoy (the theme of the living and the dead, nature and society, the people and the lords), F. Dostoevsky (natural and rational rights), A. Chekhov (worthy and vulgar life). This article examines the philosophical nature of The Hunting Sketches, its structure and content. According to author’s opinion, stories can be divided into ten groups according to their dominant meanings. Thus, in The Hunting Sketches the main Russian types are depicted: “natural man,” rational, submissive, cunning, honest, sensitive, passionate, poetic, homeless, suffering, calmly accepting death, imbued with the immensity of the world. In the image and the comments of the wandering protagonist, Ivan Turgenev reveals his own philosophical credo, which he defnes as a moderate liberalism – freedom of thought and action, without prejudice to others.

Purpose This is a methodological proposal that describes the access to information as a starting point, and the importance of access to information as the backbone for the values of investment with the notion of culture as shared beliefs, supported by information to communicate and provide awareness about issues related to environmental policy that is consistent with sustainable development. Data collection is done from census data of Cikarawang population, observation and in-depth interviews with informants of community leaders. Constructive theory constructs to identify the diversity of existing construction of and placing in the consensus. The goal of this methodology is to produce an informed and knowledgeable construction of, which simultaneously improving continuously. Constructivists do not intend to predict and control the real world and divert it but to reconstruct the world at the point of its existence: in the mind of the people of the community in Cikarawang village. The view of the importance of cultural institutions and traditional knowledge should not be ignored in reaching the target of practical dissemination of information regarding environmental policy should be conducted for further study the model of and the model for the construction of the constructed. The use of application in documenting myths and rituals of Cikarawang people is enabling the access of information of the people in learning the culture and language of Cikarawang. Moreover, it is the way to reach the goal of sustainable environment for the next generations. Design/methodology/approach The goal of this methodology is to produce an informed and knowledgeable construction of, which simultaneously improved continuously. Constructivists do not intend to predict and control the real world and divert it but to reconstruct the world at the point of its existence: in the mind of the constructor. In the process related to two aspects, : hermeneutic and dialectical. Aspects of individual construction of hermeneutic describe as compare and contrast to the dialectical aspects of individual construction of, so that each respondent was entered into the construction of another and entirely fused. Findings The access of information on asri to face global warming is to demonstrate the hybridity and syncretism of this everyday locality and to show how this global sense of place is a progressive sense of place which avoids defensive and exclusionary definitions of place and culture because they cannot be sustained in a world where understanding a place means understanding its connection to other places. However, the youths of Cikarawang are likely to self-identify, as liberals are also more supportive of progressive domestic social agenda than older generations. They are less overtly religious than the older generations. Research limitations/implications The access of information, is about trying to establish the existence of the collectivity by defining what makes it a community – isolating national characteristics, defining crucial historical moments or significant places. None of these implies that these meanings can be fixed. There might be useful to think of nations as projects which are never fully achieved. There are always alternative accounts which are being given, and alternative interpretations being made from different positions. Climate information needs to be made in accordance with the local context and activities of both of the content, format, timing and distribution (dissemination). Practical implications The undetermined that perceived lack of locals trying to understand the information about weather and climate change are delivered by using technology need to engage their participation to identify and develop adaptation and mitigation strategies. Knowledge about the weather and how to overcome it is also myths about the environment containing taboo and prohibition as well as the annual harvest ritual. Digital technology using application is the nearest object to individual youngsters to access information openly and individually. Access of information using apps and internet is bridging the issues of climate change, myths and rituals about environment, and generation gaps. Social implications The behavior of young people of Generation X are not heeding the ban in the experience of their ancestors. It is not only because of their belief in myth depleted but also in the absence of respected elders. Person figures which are respected as wise men or local leaders to be role models. In the past, knowledge and cultural information are presented, preserved, generated down to future generations. Nowadays, information about climate, weather, cultural knowledge in agriculture, irrigation, daily life, ritual, myth, and kinship is no longer simply rely on figures but the media that they believe in. Originality/value It is an interdisciplinary research of global knowledge, memory and communication. Digital technology-based application as the system to support access of information and the effort of documentation on community myths and rituals of remote people may affect on sustainable local wisdoms which protect and sustain the environment to be inherited to next generations. Web, private social networks, wikis and blogs are becoming important corporate tools for communication, collaboration and information-sharing. It is a way of young people in this Generation X most familiar in such as interactive, collaborative, managing knowledge, and managing global system and bridging generation gaps.

The World

This paper discusses as to how the Human civilization has evolved over time, and how we already have become semi-humanoids. Living in the data driven society, we rely hugely on numbers and data, rationality and science (Lohr, 2013). Darwin postulated, and I paraphrase, complex organisms evolve out of the simplest ones, and the new, evolved and complex organisms evolve according to the natural selection and become better versions of yesterday (Ghiselin, 2013). This paper focusses on the development of a Universal system, which would help us solve all of the Global issues. Accordingly, this system proposes a Symbiotic relationship between the three major forces present on Earth- Humans, Nature and Technology. Currently, Humans have a Linear relationship with both of the forces. We are the Predators and Nature is the Prey. Because of this relationship, Human civilization have started to fear its own creations, which is reflected through what Prof. Stephen Hawking shared with BBC, “”...The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.... It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate.... Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be superseded.....”((Cellan-Jones, 2014)). The system proposed in this paper will be Democratic in nature, where all the three forces have an equal voice to speak. The symbiotic relationship will be based on a concept known as Mutualism,” where all species mutually share the limited resource increasing both species ’ chances of survival or reproduction” ((Wolfe, 2016)). Till date, the World has not seen the true form of the Democracy. Instead, have witnessed pseudo Democracies, where the power is handed over to the few after the elections and the citizens stay where they were before. Instead, a true Democracy translates into- “By the People, for the People” ((Maskanian, n.d.)). The system is based on the principle, that to maintain a balance between powers, one need not go to war with it. Instead, try and understand one simple concept- “All is one, one is all”((Kotsos, n.d.)). As small as this statement is, it explains the entire functioning of the world. This paper will conclude with answering to the question, “The Distant Utopia or a mere Mirage?” and will also try to lay down the fundamentals of how to make the World Smart and not just few Cities, comparing the World to an Organism and Cities with Organs.

Observed Behavior

Behavior is a reflection of the intentions, attitudes, goals, beliefs, and desires of a person. These intra-individual factors are coordinated with what opportunities the situation affords and the perceived constraints placed on the person by their context and the norms of the culture they are in. Further, the intentions, attitudes, goals, beliefs, and desires of a person are often not known to them in any given moment, and because they reside within the mind of that person they are almost always not known to the people who are perceiving that person. To know anything about other people we must observe and identify/classify their behavior and then attribute to the observed behavior inferences and judgments about the internal states of that person serving as the motivating force behind their behavior. This entry explores this process of attribution. Heider described attribution as the process that determines “how one person thinks and feels about another person, how he perceives him and what he does to him, what he expects him to do or think, how he reacts to the actions of the other.” The entry explores the rules that people follow in order to make sense of behavior, and the rational versus non-rational nature of the procedure. Even when highly motivated to think rationally, this process can be biased, and flaws can appear in the attribution process, such as from chronic differences among perceivers due to culture, experience, or personality. How the process would unfold if accurate and purely rational is contrasted with how it unfolds when biased. How we feel, and how we choose to act, are derived from how we make sense of the world. Thus, attribution processes are foundational for understanding how we feel, for establishing expectations, and planning how to act in turn.

Chicahuaxtla Triqui is an Otomanguean language spoken in San Andrés Chicahuaxtla and in other neighboring communities in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico. There are two other Triqui languages. One is spoken in San Juan Copala and the other in San Martín Itunyoso. The oral text is a legend entitled Dàj guruguiˈ yumiguiì /da1h ɡuruɡwi3ʔ ʃumiɡwiː313/ ‘How the people of the world appeared’ and is a compilation of several legends about Triqui deities and the creation of the human race as we know it today. In this manuscript, I present a map of the Triqui region, a general description of the Chicahuaxtla Triqui language, its consonant and vowel inventories, tones, information about current and competing orthographic systems and a brief grammatical sketch. The article includes an orthographic representation of the legend with broad and narrow transcription using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) along with a free translation of the text in both Spanish and English.

In recent times we have seen doctors targeted in the wars of primitive brutal dictators across the globe. Even the Covid pandemic has been used by the lowest of the low to strengthen their personal power and wealth. What the dictators and despots in their delusional state call greatness is just the endless repetitive brutality of some ignorant men throughout our appalling and disgraceful human history. These psychopaths in our midst have been the sole cause of human misery either directly by their own actions, - murder, torture and genocide – or through theft of national wealth and the consequent lack of social services and public health – the rights of all men. While it has happened forever, and is the biggest blot on any self-respect that the human race can muster, it does NOT represent all humanity. The equal and opposite also occurs. There are sane and decent, dedicated, hardworking and civilised humans who hold up a mirror to these brutes in our midst and their hired killers who happily do their paid torture, murder and genocide for them. Worse still, at this crucial time in the fight for survival of most species on planet earth, we have these brutes destroying the last food stocks and resources that we should be preserving for ongoing mutual survival. The practice of Medicine is the exact opposite to the path the brutal dictators choose. It is an element of the ascent of man. I have pleaded before for decency and the rights of people and the doctors who heal the array of injuries caused to them. The latest evil is in Myanmar. And it is not just the brutal Military dictatorship. This time I call on China and Russia who are backing this evil regime, for their own gain – to stop bashing and murdering doctors, nurses, children, babies and the gentle, decent people of Myanmar; stop deliberately herding them into jails to catch Covid-19; stop torturing; stop raping women and children. Stop taking other people’s property and land and lives – and that includes genocide of the Uighur Muslims and the Tibetans - as well as oppression of the people of your own countries. Enough is enough. No-one in the world is fooled by staged propaganda videos, rather it is even more sinister behaviour - and they bring no-one back to life. The world has seen far too many evil barbarous men and now in a time we must all work together to survive – we have the worst of the worst, ganging up like schoolyard bullies and bringing shame and disgust on the entire human race – such is the legacy you have created for yourselves. Choose your actions carefully - the universe is watching and waiting.

This Epilogue summarizes the main points of the book's eight chapters. It emphasizes a biopsychosocial model for understanding, treating and possibly psychiatric disorders. It also points out that major forms of mental illness are disorders of this brain as well as disorders of the mind and the person relations to others and the world. Advances in neuroscience may lead to better explanations of the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders and their philosophical implications. But these advances may not completely account for the experience of living with these disorders. Given the global burden of disease from mental illness, it should receive priority in medical research over other types of disease to improve the quality of life of the people affected by it.

As far as Tamil literatures are concerned, most of the books belonging to the Saiva Vaishnavism. It is customary to say that Saiva Vaishnava religion such as Thevaram, Thiruvasagam and Four Thousand DivyaPrabandham. The thevara songs that arose during the Saivism renaissance are seen as a repository of music. During the period when Saivism was caught up in the closeness of other religions, Thirugnanasambandar and Upper Sundarar appeared and passionately dipped the classic Tamil songs into sweet hymns to make the world aware of the true glories of Saivism. They realized that music was popular and composed the songs accordingly. Religious ideas have made music flow into hymns and touch the minds of the people. If you sing them with joy, the mind will be conscious of God. This is the purpose of the Saivism Kuravas. Music helped them to fulfill this purpose. The Tamillsai of the time is best known through the songs of Thevara. The Period of Thevara can be considered as the period of musical upheaval of Tamils. In the natural senses of pleasure, the sense of music is intimately linked to the highest.

An indigenous record of the nomade tribes of Tartary, who shook the world with their conquests during the middle ages, would no doubt form an interesting episode in universal history. Although the Mongols made their power to be felt from east to west, comparatively little was known in Europe of their actual condition; but that little is sufficient to stimulate curiosity, and while the names of Genghiz and Tamerlane have gained a world-wide celebrity, very much that pertains to their people, as a nation and as individuals, is left to be filled up by the imagination. Tokens of former grandeur are still to be met with in the northern wilds, suggesting to the mind of the traveller a host of questions, which receive no satisfactory solution from the erratic nomades who inhabit those sterile regions. How many monarchies were overthrown by these children of the desert; how many kingdoms reduced to desolation; how many nations subdued, their power broken, and their inhabitants dispersed ? Questions allied to something higher than the mere inquisitive faculty attach to some of these points; and, while we scan the débris of bye-gone generations, we are impelled by the conviction that all efforts in that direction are auxiliary to the more mature knowledge of the history of the human racé.
