The document compares Egyptian and Babylonian social thought. Both societies were dominated by divine kings and had social hierarchies. Women had some property and inheritance rights in both cultures. The Code of Hammurabbi, one of the earliest law codes, aimed to promote justice in Babylonia through a system of retributive punishments based on social class. Both cultures contributed to early education systems and architectural developments.

Human Rights Laws & Position Of Bangladesh
Academic presentation on "Human Rights Laws & Position Of Bangladesh" under the course "Human Rights, Law & Development" (Soc 5109). This course is under MSS program at Sociology Discipline, Khulna University, Bangladesh.
Ibn khaldun (Father of sociology)
Ibn Khaldun was a 14th century Tunisian philosopher and historian who is considered a founder of sociology. He emphasized empirical evidence over normative theories and identified tribal solidarity ("asabiyya") as the driving force behind the rise and fall of civilizations. His major work, Muqaddimah, analyzed the psychological, economic, environmental and social factors that contribute to the development of human societies. He viewed society as a living organism and studied how social change occurs in cyclical patterns over generations. Ibn Khaldun is regarded as the father of sociology due to his pioneering research on social dynamics, the concept of asabiyya, and his scientific methodology in studying history and society.
Karl marx
Karl Marx was a 19th century philosopher who developed the theories of communism, socialism, and Marxism. Some of Marx's major ideas discussed in the document include dialectical materialism, historical materialism, the concept of base and superstructure in societies, modes of production, class consciousness, class struggle, surplus value, and alienation of workers. The document provides an overview of Marx's key theories and concepts.
Topic 4 - Al-Farabi
Al-Farabi was an influential 10th century philosopher born in Transoxania who studied many subjects including philosophy, logic, politics, and mathematics. He proposed theories on human nature, the ideal ruler, and the formation and varieties of states. He described four types of cities - virtuous, ignorance, immoral, and erring - based on their adherence to attaining true happiness for citizens. His political philosophy aimed to advance human societies using some of Plato's approaches while balancing reason and revelation.
Rights of women
Women's rights and status in Islam are discussed from various perspectives in the document. It summarizes that under pre-Islamic traditions, women were often treated as property without rights. The Quran and hadiths established women's rights to property, inheritance, divorce, education, and participation in public life. Islam requires equitable treatment between men and women in religious and social roles. Hijab is explained as modest dress and behavior mandated by God to protect women's honor and define their identity, not restrict their freedom.
Muslim Philosophers
Abu Hamid al-Ghazzali (1058-1111 AD) was an influential Muslim scholar who made major contributions to several fields including religion, philosophy, and Sufism. He sought to address divisions between rationalists and traditionalists by finding a middle ground in his works. Ibn Rushd (1126-1198 AD) was an important philosopher from Al-Andalus who wrote commentaries on Aristotle and advocated for philosophy. He criticized al-Ghazzali's skepticism of philosophy. Al-Kindi (805-873 AD) was an early Islamic philosopher and scientist who wrote on various topics and helped introduce Greek philosophy to the Islamic world. Al-Farabi (872-950 AD)
Ibnu Khaldun
Ibn Khaldun was an influential 14th century Muslim scholar, historian and sociologist. He is considered a forerunner of modern sociology, historiography and economics for his theories on social conflict, the rise and fall of civilizations, and other social sciences. In his magnum opus, Muqaddimah, he developed theories around the concepts of asabiyyah (social cohesion) and umran (civilization) to explain the rise and fall of dynasties and empires. The Muqaddimah covered topics like sedentary and nomadic cultures, social organization, politics, economics and other intellectual sciences in a philosophical and sociological manner that was ahead of his time.
Topic 2 - Plato
Plato (427-347 BC) was a Greek philosopher who sought to address the injustice of Socrates' execution. In his works Republic, Statesman, and Laws, he explored questions of politics, justice, and the ideal state. Plato believed a just state requires a class structure with rulers governed by reason, guardians motivated by courage, and workers motivated by desires. The rulers' role is to understand the eternal Forms and implement justice by ensuring each class and individual performs the role suited to their nature. Plato's educational system was designed to produce a just state by training the ruling class in mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy to lead according to rational principles.

Universality of Human Rights
This document discusses arguments for and against the universality of human rights. Critics argue that human rights are a Western concept that ignores other cultural realities, where group rights may take precedence over individual rights. Developing countries argue that human rights interfere with nation-building and that suspending some rights benefits the majority. However, defenders counter that coercion, not culture, should determine rights violations. While cultures change over time, basic human rights like the right to life, freedom from torture, and not being enslaved can be upheld everywhere.
Shura -Consultation in islam
The document discusses the concept of Shura in Islam. It defines Shura as a process of consultation and deliberation to make decisions. The document outlines how Shura was practiced by Prophet Muhammad and the Rashidun caliphs. It discusses hadith and Quranic evidence for Shura. The benefits of Shura include considering different perspectives, informed decision making, and buy-in from those involved. Prerequisites for effective Shura include freedom of expression and willingness to accept majority views.
Rights of women in pakistan
The document summarizes the status of women in Pakistan. It discusses how women's status varies across social classes and regions, with urban women generally enjoying more privileges. Historically, women participated in Pakistan's independence movement and leaders like Fatima Jinnah advocated for women's rights. However, rural women still face significant challenges such as low literacy rates, lack of inheritance and land rights, and cultural practices like dowry that impose financial burdens. Overall, while Pakistani women have made progress in certain fields like politics and education, true equality remains elusive especially for poor, rural women.
Theories of democracy
I find out the data after very endeavor and differentiate models of democracy from the Theories of democracy
Umayyad Caliphate
The Umayyad dynasty expanded the Islamic empire greatly after the death of Muhammad. Under the Umayyads, the Islamic empire grew to span parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe within 100 years. The Umayyad armies began with hit-and-run raids and soon launched organized campaigns of conquest, taking control of most of Central Asia by the 700s and North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula by 711. However, over time unrest grew under the Umayyads as they neglected Islamic law and treated some groups, such as non-Arabs, as second-class. This led to their overthrow by the Abbasids in 750.
Plato
The document discusses several key aspects of Plato's political philosophy and ideal state as presented in works like The Republic. It explains that Plato's state is ruled by "philosopher kings" who are free from materialism and illusions. It has a system of functional specialization and strict state-controlled education. Plato believed justice could be achieved through communism of property and family, with children considered national property. His ideal state is criticized for being utopian, promoting dictatorship, and restricting individual liberty.
Muslim philosopher
During the Islamic Golden Age from the 9th to 12th centuries, Muslim philosophers flourished and advanced knowledge in fields like mathematics, medicine, and philosophy. Major figures included Al-Kindi, who introduced Greek philosophy to the Muslim world; Al-Farabi, who wrote on logic, politics, and Plato's ideal state; Avicenna, whose Canon of Medicine was a standard medical text and who distinguished the soul from the body; and Averroes, who argued philosophy and religion could be reconciled and was influential in Western secular thought.
Al-Ghazali and Politics
1) Al-Ghazali was an influential Muslim theologian and philosopher born in 1058 CE in Persia. He studied under many prominent scholars and held a prestigious teaching position.
2) Al-Ghazali proposed a political system for the Islamic caliphate consisting of 13 institutions including the Caliph, governors, military leaders, and departments of industry, judiciary, and treasury.
3) As a ruler, Al-Ghazali advised being just, avoiding anger and pride, maintaining humility, and governing based on Islamic law and consultation with religious scholars. He emphasized maintaining peace with subjects.
Ibn Rushd Averroism (12th century Spanish Muslim Philosopher)
Ibn Rushd (1126-1198) was an influential philosopher and jurist from Cordoba, Spain who wrote extensive commentaries on Aristotle's works. He believed that materialism and intellect are the same for all humanity. He argued that Islamic states were a better ideal than Plato's, and that both men and women should contribute to society through material and intellectual work. Ibn Rushd criticized Al Ghazali's anti-intellectualism and argued that denying causation implies denying knowledge. His works had a profound impact on European scholars and helped develop modern secularism, though they were more influential in Europe than in Islamic lands.
Economics in islam
Islam is not merely a religion or economic system but a Deen. It provides guidance for all aspects of individual & Collective lives. Islam means peace & submission. Peace acquired through total submission. There cannot be peace without Justice, which is the ultimate objective of sending down all Divine Books & Prophets.
Islam allows to earn income in which benefits are enjoyed by all the concerning parties on the just basis & prohibited to earn income through Bribery, Interest, Stealing & Robbery, Gambling, Wine & its business & Fraud.
Islam offers a definite economic system based on zakat, usher, Bayt al-mal, dignity of labour, equity, interest-free economy, legitimate income & avoidance of extravagance & observing rights & duties.
Dependency Theory
The document discusses dependency theory, which argues that resources flow from poorer "periphery" states to enrich wealthier "core" states. It originated in reaction to modernization theory. There are two perspectives on dependency - the capitalist view that it facilitates development, and the socialist view that it is a form of imperialism that enriches core states. Key aspects of dependency include globalization, free markets, surplus value flowing to core states, political and technological control by core states, and neo-colonialism. While it was influential in the 1960-70s, dependency theory has lost some influence with the growth of some developing economies, though still impacts anti-poverty campaigns.
Machiavelli
Niccolò Machiavelli was an Italian Renaissance historian, politician, diplomat, philosopher and writer. He is considered the founder of modern political science. Machiavelli served as a Florentine official and wrote two of his most famous works, The Prince and Discourses on Livy, to advise rulers on how to maintain power. He took a pragmatic approach, arguing rulers should prioritize strengthening the state over traditional Christian ethics and morality. Machiavelli believed a strong, centralized state led by a powerful prince was needed to unite Italy's divided regions and overcome corruption. His writings had a profound impact on modern political thought by separating politics from religion and ethics.
Plato's Republic

Non muslims rights
The document discusses the rights of non-Muslims in an Islamic state based on principles in the Quran and teachings of Muhammad. It states that non-Muslims should receive protection, freedom of religion, and assistance for basic necessities and the poor. The Quran teaches equality among all people and that there is no compulsion in religion. Non-Muslims would pay Jizya tax but are exempt from military service and some groups like monks are exempt from the tax. The document outlines rights like justice, property protection, freedom of work and worship for non-Muslims.
Rousseau's Theory of Social Contract
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Swiss philosopher born in 1712 who published two influential works in 1762, The Social Contract and Emile. In these works, he outlined his theory of social contract which argued that people form societies and consent to be governed through an implicit agreement, surrendering some freedoms for the stability and protections provided by the state. This social contract creates a sovereign, the general will of the people, and binds citizens to work for the common good of society over individual interests. Though criticized, Rousseau's ideas greatly influenced political thought and the French and American revolutions.
Topic 3 - Aristotle
This document provides an overview of Aristotle and his political philosophy. Some key points:
- Aristotle studied under Plato and was concerned with why the Greek city-state declined as a form of government.
- His method involved studying many actual city-states to determine the "telos" or highest purpose of political communities.
- He viewed humans as rational and political animals who require community to achieve happiness. The ideal political community for humans is the polis or city-state.
- Aristotle analyzed different forms of government and constitutions, preferring a "polity" that mixes rule by the one, few and many to best serve the public interest over private interests.
Jean Jacques Rousseau’s
Rousseau believed that humans are naturally good but corrupted by society and its institutions. He advocated for a social contract where individuals subjugate their personal interests to the general will, or the abstract expression of the common good. Rousseau argued people should form a direct democracy where citizens make laws themselves to prevent the ideal state from becoming too large. He believed that through the social contract and obeying the general will, individuals can remain free while preserving the state and securing freedom, equality, and justice for all citizens.
Sources of Islamic law
Fiqh, or Islamic jurisprudence, is based on five sources: the Quran, sunnah (sayings and actions of the Prophet), ijma (scholarly consensus), qiyas (analogical reasoning), and ijtihad (independent reasoning). The Quran and sunnah are the primary sources, outlining broad moral and legal principles. Scholars then derive further rulings and details through ijma, qiyas, and ijtihad to address issues not directly mentioned in the primary sources by building upon their principles using consensus, analogy, and independent reasoning.
Emile Durkheim
Religion creates social order by unifying people around shared sacred symbols and collective representations of morality. Without a shared system of religious beliefs and practices, social order and solidarity would break down.
Nature and Scope of Political Science
This presentation is about political science and for the students who want to learn political science as an academic discipline.
Babylonian Civilization
The document discusses the ancient Babylonian civilization and the city of Babylon. It describes how Babylon was the capital city located along the Euphrates River in Mesopotamia. Under King Hammurabi in the 18th century BC, Babylon became the dominant city-state in the region and established itself as a powerful empire. Key aspects of ancient Babylon discussed include the city walls, temples, ziggurats, and other impressive architectural feats such as the Hanging Gardens, built later under King Nebuchadnezzar II.
4th Grade Questions
The document is a letter from Mr. Vrudny responding to questions from 4th grade students in Greenwood, Minnesota about South Africa. It answers questions about toilets flushing differently, houses being made of clay, education and technology access, differences between white and black incomes and experiences, and other cultural and lifestyle aspects in South Africa.

GARV
Women in India face many social issues that restrict their rights and safety. They lack equal legal, political, and socioeconomic rights compared to men. Several government initiatives have aimed to empower women through constitutional privileges, legal provisions against crimes like dowry deaths and domestic violence, and reserving political seats for women. However, social practices like son preference, dowry demands, and lack of security continue to endanger women and limit their freedom. Ensuring women's empowerment through education, financial independence, self-defense training, and community support can help address these issues and benefit society through increased literacy, gender equality, and overall development.
Dowry systsem
The document discusses the issue of dowry in India. It states that dowry is a social evil that places a heavy financial burden on poor families, forcing them to take on debt to meet dowry demands. A lack of dowry can lead brides to suffer insults, abuse, and beatings by their in-laws. The document also provides a brief history of dowry originating with the Aryans and being used by wealthy families as insurance for brides. It suggests that widespread education, especially of rural communities, can help eliminate dowry by increasing understanding of women's issues and empowering women.
Zealous Reformers, Deadly Laws
The document discusses several issues with using legislation as the sole instrument of social reform in India, including:
1) There is often a large gap between legal prescriptions and actual social practices, as traditional values continue to hold influence and modern laws are not fully accepted.
2) Making failed laws even more punitive or "draconian" does not solve the original problem and can create new issues, as seen with anti-dowry and domestic violence laws.
3) Overly broad definitions in laws against practices like dowry, sati and domestic violence have led to absurdities and unintended consequences in implementation.
14.1
The document provides an overview of reforms in the Catholic Church in the 11th-12th centuries and the Crusades. It summarizes that the Church faced issues like married priests and corruption, which led to reforms spearheaded by the monastic orders of Cluny and Cistercians. Pope Gregory VII introduced reforms addressing these issues. The Crusades were launched by Pope Urban II in 1095 in response to a call for aid from the Byzantine Empire against Muslim expansion, with the goal of retaking the Holy Land.

dowry as social evil..
Dowry is an un-Islamic practice that originated in Hindu communities as a wedding gift from the bride's family to the groom's. In Pakistan, it is called jahez and involves excessive demands for cash and goods from the bride's family by the groom and his family. This practice leads to torture and even death of women if the demands are not met, as seen in the examples of Sakina and Khalida. Pakistan has high reported rates of dowry-related deaths but existing laws have not been effectively enforced to eliminate this harmful tradition. While most people agree that dowry should end, there are mixed views on legally banning it and on its role in female infanticide.
Legal aspect against dowry system
This document summarizes key Indian laws against the dowry system, including Section 304B that addresses dowry deaths, Section 406 on criminal breach of trust, and Section 498A regarding harassment or cruelty of a woman by her husband or relatives. It also discusses the Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961 and Domestic Violence Act of 2005, both aimed at prohibiting dowry and protecting women from domestic harm. The document outlines punishments like imprisonment and fines for violations of these anti-dowry laws.
Ills of indian society
This document discusses several social ills in Indian society, including child labor, dowry, casteism, population growth, and poverty.

Casteism continues to create social and economic divides. Population growth outpacing resources exacerbates problems. Suggested solutions include improving education, literacy, family planning programs, and stronger enforcement of laws against practices like child labor and dowry. Overall, the document analyzes key social issues in India and their complex interrelationships.

Egyptianbabyloniansocialthought Discovery
The document provides information on Egyptian and Babylonian social thought. In early Egypt, society was dominated by a divine ruler and most people were slaves or serfs. Women had some property rights. Babylonian society under Hammurabbi also had slaves but they had more rights. The Code of Hammurabbi established one of the earliest legal systems, emphasizing justice but with punishments based on social status. Both cultures contributed to architecture, literature, and early forms of education, medicine and law, though Babylonian society was more developed economically and technologically.

2 pandora's box
Jesus treated women with great respect and dignity, which was unusual for the time. He showed mercy and compassion to women who were social outcasts. He had close female friends and disciples who helped support him and were the first to witness the resurrection. While Jesus only chose male apostles, it was likely due to cultural limitations of the time rather than a rejection of female leadership.

Romeo and juliet social and historical context pwpt
The play is set in 16th century Verona, Italy during a period of religious and social change known as the Renaissance. Society was traditionally Catholic but becoming more Protestant, and families were headed by fathers who had complete authority over their wives and children. Marriage was often used to build wealth and alliances between families rather than for love. Romeo and Juliet's relationship defies the conventions of their time, where love was supposed to be restrained and admiration from afar rather than passionate, as their union threatens the long-standing feud between their families, the Montagues and Capulets.

The creation of patriarchy
1. The document discusses the creation of patriarchy and argues that it developed over 2,500 years from 3,100 BC to 600 BC at different paces in different societies, rather than being eternal or universal.
2. It asserts that many common myths about the origins of male dominance are false, including that hunting ability or anatomy determined gender roles. In reality, women provided the majority of food through gathering and small game hunting.
3. Patriarchy became institutionalized through the appropriation of women's sexuality, their commodification through practices like bride purchase, and the exclusion of women from religious covenants beginning with Hebrew monotheism. This laid the foundation for the dominance of male symbols and control over female

- Ancient slavery varied in different societies but generally slaves had no rights, could not marry or attain citizenship, and were completely under the power of their master.
- Manumission, the freeing of slaves, was rare in places like Athens but more common in Rome where it was sometimes used strategically to create networks of patrons and clients.
- Usury, lending money at interest, was considered an "unnatural" and hated form of wealth acquisition by Aristotle and was forbidden by the medieval church. Aristotle saw money as a means of facilitating exchange, not a commodity.

A lawyer’s perspective on Anti patriarchal model.pptx
Patriarchy is a social system where males hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property. It defines strict gender roles where women are subordinate and relegated to domestic duties while caring for family and serving the husband. Patriarchal systems have existed for over 5,000 years and have caused immense harm and destructive chaos for both women and children. While patriarchy still exists today, it manifests in subtle, everyday ways that go unnoticed, even by those it negatively impacts. Challenging patriarchal norms requires systemic changes across society to promote gender equality and equitable distribution of power.

3) women's rights
The early Women's Movement sought equal rights to men in response to the legal and social inequalities women faced throughout the 19th century. Women were denied many basic rights like property ownership, child custody, and the right to vote. In 1848, the Seneca Falls Convention launched the modern women's rights movement by establishing arguments for women's educational, professional, and legal equality. The Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments outlined the "repeated injuries and usurpations" women experienced under coverture laws and called for full equality and rights for women, including the right to vote. This document marked the beginning of an organized fight for women's suffrage in the United States.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
