Islamic Society

Islam is a complete code of life. It provides us with dynamic rules and regulations to lead a perfect, prosperous ideal life. The social system of Islam is abided by certain rules and rights for each and every individual of an Islamic society. Children are the most delicate and sensitive members of any society and are to be dealt with empathy and love. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) says “Those are not among us who don’t show mercy on younger and respect their elders”. But, unfortunately we as Pakistani Muslims don’t implement such injunctions. Child labor is one of the biggest socio-economic problems of under developed & some developing countries like Pakistan. Some vital initiatives are to be taken to eradicate this problem as it’s been dealt with many times but those efforts were not fruitful completely. The aim of this paper is to discuss child labor in terms of forceful work that kids are obliged to do which affect their basic education & health rights. I have discussed this issue from an Islamic perspective highlighting the different views of our respected Islamic scholar and followed it by a critical analysis of some of the views.

The Ideal

Gender issues are still a topic that is often discussed in society. Gender is related to the social construction of the division of activities between women and men. Along with the development of times there are many assumptions that say that women still accept injustice and are still discriminated against so that many are demanding gender equality for women. In the Qur'an many verses describe justice and equality between women and men in their responsibilities and carrying out their role, but there are still many people who do not understand the contents of the verses in question. The public or broad audience needs to understand gender construction in this Islamic perspective to be able to realize the ideal gender construction in life, especially in the context of Islamic society.

Sociology as a science of society evaluates the youth from different perspectives. Youth as one-fifth of population in most societies are facing new needs and services. In more developed world, they are almost fulfilled because of the availability of infrastructures, whereas in many developing societies because of such a vacuum, many youth are deprived of their required services and essentials of today's life. However, achievement of modernity has to a large extent provided the youth with new opportunities in many countries. Such a transition has led the youth to growing awareness. When the conditions are favorable, young people will be able to use their ability and capacity much better, or in other words, they will perform their functions/ duties satisfactorily. In such a situation, the society as a whole moves in a positive way. Many have not yet been able to provide their youth to access to education to be used in future creativity and development. Improving the quality of basic education has been highly emphasized by scholars. In many developing countries, many of those who drop out of school in early stages become child-labor; a phenomenon affecting their entire life in a negative manner. Developing societies have a wide need for different skills in various fields, which must be provided by the youth in any society.

The Social

Bereaved individuals often experience profound social pressure to conform to societal norms that constrict the experience of grief rather than support it. This article explores grief in Western society1 through an analysis of the underlying structures and values that are a part of this social system, utilizing the lens of critical theory. Critical theory examines social norms and conditions in order to identify and expose oppression in various contexts. This article examines the social rules that govern the expression of grief, the role of attachment, social pain, and shame as potent forces that promote compliance with social rules, and the ways that the underlying assumptions and values in Western society shape how bereaved individuals are expected to react. Implications for clinicians who work with terminally ill or bereaved individuals are then reviewed.

AbstractEvolved dispositions influence, but do not determine, how people think about economic problems. The evolutionary cognitive approach offers important insights but underweights the social transmission of ideas as a level of explanation. The need for asocialexplanation for the evolution of economic attitudes is evidenced, for example, by immense variations in folk-economic beliefs over time and across individuals.

The paper examines and compares how the major sociological theories treat axiological issues. Value-driven topics are analysed in view of their relevance to society in times of crisis, when both societal life and the very structure of society undergo dramatic change. Nowadays, social scientists around the world are also witnessing such a change due to the emergence of alternative schools of sociological thought (non-classical, interpretive, postmodern, etc.) and, subsequently, the necessity to revise the paradigms that have been existed in sociology so far. Since the above-mentioned approaches are often used to address value-related issues, building a solid theoretical framework for these studies takes on considerable significance. Furthermore, the paradigm revision has been prompted by technological advances changing all areas of people’s lives, especially social interactions. The global human community, integral in nature, is being formed, and production of human values now matters more than production of things; hence the “expansion” of value-focused perspectives in contemporary sociology. The authors give special attention to collectivities which are higher-order units of the social system. These units are described as well-organised action systems where each individual performs his/her specific role. Just as the role of an individual is distinct from that of the collectivity (because the individual and the collectivity are different as units), so too a distinction is drawn between the value and the norm — because they represent different levels of social relationships. Values are the main connecting element between the society’s cultural system and the social sphere while norms, for the most part, belong to the social system. Values serve primarily to maintain the pattern according to which the society is functioning at a given time; norms are essential to social integration. Apart from being the means of regulating social processes and relationships, norms embody the “principles” that can be applied beyond a particular social system. The authors underline that it is important for Ukrainian sociology to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field of axiology and make good use of those ideas because this is a prerequisite for its successful integration into the global sociological community.
