The ideological aspects relating to the social framework of the Indian society have a tremendous appeal for the majority of the people. Some modifications occasionally have been the cause of unequal and uneven distribution of social causes, natural resources, national scopes, benefits, and opportunities. The population demography has a mixed nature of composition consisting of weaker to stronger in respect of education, affluence, cast construct, political and social status, etc., and consequently, it created two groups of people in the society – a group under the umbrella of exploitation, poverty, and insecurity, and the other being the reverse. This weaker section lying under the envelope of poverty developed because of this inequality, and it has been a permanent cause of adversities in Human Resource prospects in India. Human Resource is not an ordinary resource like money or material, but a resource to make all other resources usefully usable. This Human Resource needs to come through suitable scopes and opportunities so that they can develop themselves as required in the process of Human Resource planning. This chapter is an attempt to identify the real-life situation in this respect in India during the last three decades.

COVID-19 has been gradually fading from the headlines since summer’s end, and other news has moved into the lead. However, the pandemic has not gone away, nor have expectations of a second wave. Famous philosopher and psychoanalyst Slavoj Žižek refers to this tendency as “the will not to know” in opposition to the title of Michel Foucault’s Lectures on the Will to Know. Behind this phenomenon Žižek sees a tripartite structure at work along the lines of Freudian dream-work: there is “triangulation” between latent dream-thought, manifest dream-content, and the unconscious wish. The coronavirus itself corresponds to the “manifest dream text,” the focal point of our media, and is what we all talk (and dream) about. It is not merely an actual phenomenon, but also the object of fantasized connections, of dreams and fears. For that reason Žižek regards the switch to other news as fake, while the pandemic remains the true Master-Signifier. This Master-Signifier is overdetermined by a whole series of interconnected real-life facts and processes that form its dream-content, consisting not only of the reality of the health crisis, but also of ecological troubles and more. The hypothesis Žižek defends is that this interplay between the COVID-19 pandemic and the social causes that overdetermine it is not the whole story. There is a third level at work here (which corresponds to the true trauma, the unconscious wish of a dream), and this is the ontological catastrophe triggered by the pandemic, the undermining of the coordinates of our basic access to reality, which reaches far beyond a usual “mental crisis.”

English today certainly plays a wider range of roles than before. Due to these roles and to its neutrality in not being exclusively identified with any particular ethnic community in Malaysia, English is meant to be everyone’s language in as much as the national language is. In real life the functions of English in Malaysia almost equal those of Malay, including the social function. This situation results from the image projected by English vis-à-vis Malay and an equal treatment of the two languages in the implementation of the policy. The policy on the enhancement of the use of English has helped to de-sensitise the feeling of the people towards English as a former colonial language, and to close the attitudinal gap between Malay and English. This pragmatism has also changed the world-view of Malaysians that only the use of the national language would assist in nation-building

ABSTRACTThis paper examines how contextual (conversational) aspects and socially shared meanings might affect the participants' performance on a standardised memory test using the theoretical framework of social representations. A total of 97 members of centres for older adults located in Rome, Italy participated in a screening using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test. Prior to testing, a group of volunteers had organised a performance focused on events from the distant past, stimulating intergenerational reminiscence. The participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions. In the first case, prior to administering the test, a psychotherapist talked to each participant about the performance, focusing on ageing and stressing the neutral aspects of its social representations, such as change and time. In the second case, performance was used to concentrate on positive aspects of the social representations of ageing, namely wisdom and experience. In line with the hypothesis, focusing on positive aspects of social representations of ageing (wisdom and experience) versus their neutral aspects (change and time) has resulted in improved performance on a standardised memory test. Practitioners (psychotherapists – experts in psycho-diagnostics) who administered the tests have been involved in the co-construction of the meaning of ageing, discussing a real-life situation: the common experience of intergenerational activity that involved the participants' memories of their urban environment.

In the social context of Nepal, Gandharvas are regarded as Dalits, the people who are suppressed and silenced by the society. Such subaltern groups are thought to have no voice. They are considered ‘muted’ or ‘inarticulate’ without any agency, consciousness and power of resistance. However, breaking such boundaries, the present research aims at exploring the voices of Gandharvas expressed through their folk songs, which express their real subaltern condition and a sense of dissatisfaction towards the mechanism of society constructed and controlled by the elites. For this, some of the representative folk songs are taken and viewed from the perspective of subaltern voice, consciousness, resistance and agency developed by Antonio Gramsci, Ranjit Guha, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Partha Chatterjee and Gautam Bhadra. With the thorough analysis of their songs, it is inferred that although they are deprived of any rank and recognition in the mainstream Nepali society, they have clearly expressed their voices as well as manifested consciousness, reflecting their real life experiences marked by domination, marginalization and suppression. The manifestation of such consciousness and expression of inner voice is also used as an instrument to subvert the hegemony constructed by the complacent upper class of the society.

Humour, an established means of reducing stress and tension, has attracted scholarly attention over the years. In the Nigerian discourse context, studies on Coronavirus-Motivated Humour (CMH) are relatively new. This paper investigates humour that reflect the social, economic and health challenges in Nigeria shared through the social media in order to identify CMH as a form of humour through which real-life experiences of other people can be understood. Insights are drawn from Mey’s (2001) Pragmatic Acts Theory to analyse a total of seven purposively selected humour on Coronavirus from social media, specifically Whatsapp and Facebook. The study found out that the pragmatic relevance of CMH is embedded in its social functions as it serves as an indicator of the sense of citizens’ freedom and a pract of warning to the corrupt and inefficient leaders in Nigeria, particularly on health facilities in the country. Also, the context of CMH construction presents it as a satire of the social, economic and health experiences of the people as it reduces and reinforces status differences as well as strengthens the feeling of connectedness among people. This is achieved through the practs of informing, satirizing and mocking. The paper concludes that humours do not only make people laugh, but also comment on certain societal maladies that finger the minds of Nigerian citizens. Keywords: Coronavirus, Humour, Social Media, Pragmatics and Lockdown.
