Social-Culture Factors are Impacting the Status of Women in Punjab: a Case Study
Get PDFWomen experience discrimination in communities where men predominate. Socio-cultural influences, particularly in rural areas, have a significant impact on women's status in many different ways. The level of gender equality is a crucial sign of a country's prosperity. This research was developed to look at how sociocultural influences affect the status of women in Punjab, Pakistan. Six districts were selected for this study: Vehari, Sahiwal, Chiniot, Jhang, Faisalabad & Gujranwala. One tehsil from each district was choosen and In the first phase of the multistage sample, two union councils—one from rural and one from urban areas—were randomly selected from each tehsil. From each union council, one village was randomly chosen for the second stage. In the end, 15 respondents were conveniently chosen from each village. There were 180 responders in the entire sample. Under the study's goals, an interview schedule was created, and after that, data was gathered through in-person interviews. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) tool was used for collected data analysis. The results show that respondents' family structure, economic position, and level of education all have a significant impact on their status.

Provincial Autonomy under the 18th Amendment in the 1973 Constitution of Pakistan
Get PDFThe 18th amendment is a landmark achievement in the history of Pakistan, representing a major shift towards greater provincial autonomy and a stronger parliamentary system. The Eighteenth Amendment, which had a significant impact on Pakistan's constitutional history, was a big step towards giving the provinces full legislative, administrative, and financial autonomy. The amendment has enhanced the legislative authority of the provincial assembly on economic issues, including taxation and foreign borrowing. It has also given provinces ownership and participation in the administration of natural resources, in addition to policymaking. The rights of the nation are effectively protected by Pakistan's Eighteenth Amendment, which also grants sovereignty to the provinces. The goal of the study is to analyze the reasons behind the important amendments made to Pakistan's 1973 constitution (18th Amendment) in 2010, which had a significant impact on provincial autonomy in the country.

Capitalistic Gender Norms and Class Arrogance in Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations: A Marxist Analysis
Get PDFThis research paper seeks to examine the complex influence of capitalism on gender norms and the continuation of class arrogance in society, employing a Marxist analytical framework. This study aims to reveal the intricate mechanisms by which capitalism strengthens traditional gender norms and worsens class disparities by analyzing the interaction between economic systems, gender dynamics, and social hierarchies. Utilizing Marxist ideas of class conflict and exploitation, this paper examines how capitalist systems sustain gender disparity by assigning women to unpaid domestic work positions inside the household. Moreover, it will examine how the bourgeoisie's dominion over the means of production solidifies their authority and sustains class haughtiness, intensifying the marginalization of persons from lower social classes. Besides, this paper analyzes the ways in which characters in Charles Dickens' Great Expectations belonging to various social classes handle and internalize gender stereotypes and class boundaries through a careful examination. This analysis will specifically examine the experiences of female characters in the novel, including Mrs. Joe, Biddy, and Miss Havisham, in order to clarify how their identities and opportunities are influenced by capitalist ideology. The ultimate goal is to provide insight into the lasting impacts of capitalism and how they affect gender equality and class unity in today's society.

A Research and Analytical Review of the System of Justice and Policies of Peace During the Caliphate of Umar II (Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz): عمر ثانی (حضرت عمر بن عبدالعزیز)کےدورِ خلافت کے نظامِ عدل و انصاف اور امن و امان کی پالیسیوں کا تحقیقی وتجزیاتی جائزہ
No full textHazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz was a handsome man. You were a scholar of your time. He had complete mastery over all sciences. During his reign, the personal government was transformed into a democratic government. He withdrew his nomination for the caliphate but accepted the caliphate after public opinion was expressed. His greatest wish was that Islamic democracy should remain permanent. Qasim bin Muhammad Abi Bakr, who was a non-Umayyad person, wanted to make him his crown prince. But it could not be done due to the strong opposition of Banu Umayyad. A short period of two and a half years was not enough for such a revolution. Therefore, he did not fulfill many intentions. Tried hard to remove the defects of personal government. Before him, the pioneers used to walk with the caliphs and they used to send greetings to them in the mosques like the Prophet. Abolished all these rituals. He was an example of Umar Farooq in every matter. And his example was in front of him. A just system was easy for Hazrat Umar Farooq because his tenure was close to Prophethood. And the Companions were also his supporters. But during the reign of Umar II, the situation was different. Earlier his family opposed him. He was completely alone in his environment. But despite these conditions, his government was of Islamic style. For this reason, the period of his reign is considered in the Rashidah Caliphate. Historians recognize him as the fifth Caliph after Hazrat Ali. He is also recognized as Majid-i-Aol. He was always aware of his responsibilities. He was always conscious of his responsibilities. Except for the stipulated stipend, he didn't take anything from Baitul-Mal. It was even considered a sin to heat water on the fire that burned in the official guest house, as he considered a sin to do so. At night, he would turn off the official lamp. His reign brought great happiness to his subjects. Poverty and bankruptcy ended. Civil war ended under your leadership. His style of government was liked by all kinds of people. There was peace everywhere.

لکھنوی شاعری میں مسلم ہند کے زوال کا عکس
No full textThe name of the human sphere of thought and action is civilization. This circle has grown and changed with time and circumstances. Because of this, Lakant remains true to its origin and its close connection with its center and soul guarantees the life of civilization. The level of this relationship is realized by those intelligent people who are familiar with the spirit of civilization. As long as this relationship remains strong, internal or external influences, however significant they may be in the form of changes, give continuity and expansion to civilization. On the contrary, when this relationship weakens, cultural values begin to suffocate long before cultural phenomena change, and civilization is "protected" in cultural museums and ihrams
Implication of Father’s Education on Child Labor in District Multan
Get PDFChild labour continues to be a prevalent issue in many societies around the world, with millions of children forced to work in dangerous and exploitative conditions. There are various factors that contribute to the prevalence of child labour, including poverty, lack of access to education, and societal norms that perpetuate the idea that children should work to support their families. The implications of child labour on society are far-reaching and profoundly negative. Children who are forced to work at a young age miss out on important opportunities for education and overall development. This can perpetuate the cycle of poverty, as these children are often unable to break out of the cycle and improve their circumstances in life. Additionally, child labour can have long-term physical and mental health consequences for children, as they are often exposed to dangerous working conditions and are vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Furthermore, the prevalence of child labour can have broader societal implications, such as perpetuating income inequality and undermining the overall social and economic development of a country. Children who are forced to work are denied the opportunity to reach their full potential, which can have a negative impact on the future workforce and overall productivity of a nation. Efforts to combat child labour must be comprehensive and multi-faceted, addressing the root causes of the issue and providing support to families and communities in need. Governments, non-governmental organizations, and international bodies must work together to enforce laws and regulations that prohibit child labour, while also implementing programs that provide education and support to vulnerable children and families.In conclusion, child labour is a complex issue that requires a concerted effort from all sectors of society to address. The implications of child labour on society are profound and far-reaching, and it is crucial that we work together to eradicate this harmful practice and ensure that all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential and lead fulfilling lives.

An Overview of Human Rights in Pakistan in Context of Un Charter
Get PDF10 December 1948 a day reflected ray of hopes among people after barbaric hiatus of slavery, colonialism, persecution- genocide and exploitation followed by equally devastating World Wars. Every year, the tenth of December provides an opportunity to humans across the globe to renew the pledge of protecting human rights by upholding the narrative of equality – irrespective of caste, religion, ethnicity, color and race. In the United Nations’ offing days Pakistan used to be the Champion of the Human Rights cause. Contemporary situation, incontrovertible, is far from being a utopia dreamed by the forefathers of Pakistan. As albeit elitists iterates that the menace of poor Human Rights affects almost every section of society, likewise its impacts on the lives of people are grave that inflicts deep scars to the souls of common citizens. The manifestation of such scares include shackling of women, persecution of minorities, constitutional religious biases, lack of education and civic provision, and shrinking space of freedom of opinion coupled with compromised justice dispensation. All the governments would be democratic and dictatorial pledge one slogan of human rights. However, on the ground level, things are much worse. Though, the current situation of human rights documented in UNHR is not up to mark. Yet, with continuous legislation, empowerment of women and digitization can change the daunting picture to a peaceful future.

Contextualizing Amir’s Journey towards Individuation in Khaled Hossieni’s The Kite Runner: A Jungian Interpretation
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze Khaled Hosseini’s novel The Kite Runner from a Jungian perspective, which focuses on the dual aspects of human personality. By adopting this viewpoint, the novel sheds light on several pressing social issues, such as sectarian violence and ethnic superiority. These issues often compel individuals to blindly conform to societal expectations, disregarding the undeveloped aspects of their own personality. Rather than placing blame on others for our troubles and miseries, this study encourages self-evaluation as a means of personal growth and soul development. The study's key findings highlight how psychological imbalance and lopsidedness arise from the blocking of energy flow between the conscious and unconscious mind. The objective of this research is to emphasize the lifelong process of individuation, which aims to integrate the fragmented aspects of our personality and facilitate positive and productive change. Through textual analysis, the study examines the negative effects of an imbalanced personality, specifically shadow projection and the development of a strong persona. These analyses are conducted from both psychological and Jungian perspectives.
