Even if humans are short-term thinkers, fiction can anticipate and extrapolate into multiple versions of the future.

explanatory and descriptive research design. The main issues to be discussed in this study are Donation, Incident
rate reduction and Water Recycled as the independent variables, while Revenue is the dependent variable. Data
analysis was carried out using the regression analysis, descriptive statistics and correlation. E-views software
generated the data for further analysis. The findings imply that donation has a positive insignificance effect on
revenue, reduced incident rate reduction had positive significance effect on revenue and water recycling has
negative insignificant effect on revenue. In the future researches, larger samples of companies form diverse sectors
and subsectors should be studied to broaden the research on company performance especially the non-financial
aspect.
Impact of ISO9001 Certification on the Beverage Company's Performance: A case...AkashSharma618775
This study tries to shade light on the effect of ISO9001 on Performance of Brewery companies in
Ethiopia. It empirically analyzes the impact of ISO9001 on the performance of brewery company's proxied by
profit of companies during the sample period of 2002-2015.The sample consists three brewery companies namely:
BGI-Ethiopia, Metha-Abo and Dashen brewery companies. The methodology is based on the Fixed effect model
estimator proposed for dynamic panel data, which is strong in the presence of endogenous covariates, allowing for
individual companies fixed effects, heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation. Based on findings, out of the four
independent variables average revenue and dummy of ISO9001 are positive and significant effect on companies
profit i.e an increase (decrease) in average revenue of companies results in a 5.517 percent increase (decrease) in
the company's profit. The result indicates that ISO9001 certification does have a strong significant positive impact
on brewery companies performance. As the result revealed a company's profit increases by 1.052% due to
ISO9001 certification. The other two explanatory variables average cost and natural logarithm of total sale become
statistically insignificant. In sum, the result of the study indicates that Having ISO9001 certification improves the
profitability of the brewery companies. This finding seems to agree with the study done by T. Dejene (2011) on five
brewery companies in Ethiopia and other scholars like D.S. Sharma(2005),M. Pinar(2001) and J. Singles et
al.(2000).

This study determined the administrative behavior and personal traits of the School Heads of Bulan
Districts. The respondents in this study were the forty (40) elementary school heads. A simple random sampling
was used in this study. The survey questionnaire and documentary analysis were the main instrument in gathering
the necessary data supplemented with an observation and an unstructured interview. To determine the
relationship between the administrative behaviors of the school heads to their personal traits, chi-square test of
homogeneity was applied in this study. Appropriate statistical tools such as frequency count, percentage, weighted
mean and ranking were employed for the analysis and interpretation of the gathered data. The study established
that; there is no significant relationship between the administrative behavior of the school heads and their personal
traits. The study recommends that; school heads should be given ample opportunities to assess their personal traits
and administrative behavior so that they may align the said aspects to effective leadership.

Japonica rice in the domestic market is mainly produced through the contract farming system in
northern Thailand. Thai consumers have misunderstood that Thailand cannot cultivate Japonica rice with good
quality. This study aimed to analyze the acceptability of Thailand’s Japonica rice from the perspectives of Thai
consumers. Its specific objectives were to investigate the consumers’ consumption behaviors for Japanese cuisine
and to evaluate consumer preferences of different Japonica rice choices and attitudes towards Japonica rice
consumption. Data were collected from 385 respondents in Bangkok using the purposive sampling method. The
results indicated that respondents’ consumption behavior of Japanese cuisine in Bangkok was increasing.
Analyzing the preference of different Japonica rice choices found that the respondents preferred JR1 (from
Japan), JR3 (Thailand) and JR2 (from Vietnam), in descending order. JR2 attributes especially smell and soft
sticky texture were like JR3. However, JR3 shared similar qualities to JR1 in terms of smell, flavor and soft sticky
texture. JR3 can be a good alternative choice for Japanese restaurant owners and consumers. In addition, the
higher market price of JR1 creates a competitive opportunity for JR3 in the domestic market. Moreover, their
attitudes towards domestically grown Japonica rice consumption was also positive.

There are still many prevalent problems surrounding the high school curriculum. This can be seen with
many teachers still struggling with students’ retention on subjects being taught, as well as students having
difficulty with test taking. A focal point with the matter is the subjects themselves that are taught, as both teachers
and students complain about how many of the school subjects do not object towards practical skill sets needed
towards real life. In several countries, students are taught subjects related to vocation, career, finances, and even
investment. A main reason as to why these countries suffer less from economic distress, as well as having more
successful outputs for students, is because financial education is well implemented into the high school curriculum.
The purpose for this paper is to show case studies of various countries showing success due to financial education
taught in schools, and to therefore prove the point that financial education is needed all around for the youth.
Towards A Global Civil Society: A Review of Pertaining Issues, Successes and ...AkashSharma618775
This article reviews the notion of civil society by raising pertinent issues, successes and drawbacks. Often
referred to as the space where we act for common good, civil society aims to connect poor or marginalized people
with groups that can mobilize support to help. We know that civil society by itself cannot achieve poverty
eradication. It must act in partnership with governments and institutions but it must be one of the partners and
not just a servant to carry out the designs of governments or corporations. Therefore there is need to expand the
role of NGOs and civil society organizations in three main specific areas related to poverty eradication: technical,
financial and political and enhancing the participation of those whose lives are affected by decisions and this can
only happen when there is an enabling environment designed to promote popular participation. The contributions
of civil society in global environmental preservation cannot be ignored since it is a cross cutting issue and both
national and international governments need other actors to make it a reality. In short, there has been increasing
support for civil society as understanding has grown about the important role that CSOs can play in bringing
about development goals. The Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Summit Outcome Document
emphasize the relationship between sustainable human development and democratic governance and the need for
civil society engagement to foster both.
(Neo)-Colonialism, globalised modernisation and global energy and environment...AkashSharma618775
This review looks at three issues which are key to the process of globalisation, namely; colonialism,
modernization, energy and environment. The benefits of globalised colonialism, though very weak, may include a
few of the following, viz: Increasing knowledge sharing, research, and skills; providing platforms for mutual
support, and benefits to synergize at various levels; encouraging multi-cultural contributions at different levels;
fostering global citizenship for greater harmony; promoting multiculturalism and acceptance to cultural diversity;
facilitating multi ways communications and interactions; promoting self-employment, digital entrepreneurship,
and outreach; and giving voice to everyone by promoting common language. On the contrary, the notable negative
impacts of globalised colonialism include: increasing the technological gaps and digital divides; creating more
legitimate opportunities for electronic colonialism; exploiting local resources and destroying local/ indigenous
cultures; increasing inequalities, conflicts, and clashes; promoting cultural imperialism; strengthening a
symmetrical communication, facilitating haves; contributing to jobless growth and promoting outsourcing; and, it
is promoting voiceless growth and language imperialism. It important to note that energy is a driving factor in the
world economic development, World energy consumption contributes to pollution and environmental
deterioration and global house emissions which therefore calls upon world economist and politicians to set
environmental regulations. It’s also crucial to transform the current energy systems with a transition to renewable
source and their efficient use. For example, globalized modernization has today has become a major sort of debate
among academicians, policy makers and NGOs. Finally, our review notes the various merits of globalize
Deconstructing Global Movements of People: Implication for Collective Securit...AkashSharma618775
This document discusses global immigration, global security, and global borders. It begins by defining immigration and discussing its history and implications. Key challenges to immigration include language barriers, difficulties being absorbed into job markets, adapting to new weather/cultures, and security threats from terrorists. Immigration economically benefits both receiving and sending countries but can also mean loss of skilled workers for poor countries. The document then examines global emigration factors like motives, impacts, and challenges before concluding by linking immigration, security, and borders and arguing they must be analyzed together for global peace and security.
Effectiveness of drip irrigation in enhancing smart farming: a micro-study in...AkashSharma618775
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of drip irrigation in enhancing smart farming in the midnorth of Uganda. A descriptive review was adopted targeting one smart farm in the district. Data was gathered by
means of an interview guide and a farmers’ observation guide, and it was analysed using content analysis
correspondingly. The outcomes suggest that drip irrigation does not represent a large fraction of irrigation systems
in mid-north Uganda and the world in general; however, a number of new drip irrigation systems are being set-up
notwithstanding the very slow pace. Further revelation suggests that farmers can benefit from drip irrigation
through gaining knowledge and skills from visits and advises from the frequent visits; being a source of income
when the produce are sold; as well as providing food security for families, the adjacent community and the district
as a whole. Nonetheless, drip irrigation faces challenges of dearth of commitment by some members of the family,
untimely delivery of agro inputs, over cultivation of the land and very expensive inputs. It is obvious that drip
irrigation technologies are essential in enhancing smart farming in Oyam district, mid-north Uganda and the
country as a whole. The outcomes of the study can be useful as a source for scaling out drip irrigation in the region
and beyond especially when mounting a parameter on integration of drip irrigation on community development
agendas for small-holder farmers as targeted by the government’s agricultural cluster development programme.
This article contributes to the budding body of information on smart farming by emphasising obtainable
prospects, which can generate more pro-active small scale drip irrigation technologies.
APPRAISING FEMALE LABOUR IN THE INDIGENOUS ECONOMY OF MAMFE - SOUTHWEST CAMER...AkashSharma618775
African indigenous women have been instrumental in the growth and survival of local economies but
underrated in scholarly discourses. In this regard this paper reviews the role of female labour in Artistry,
agriculture, associations, investments, trade, education and skill jobs in the years 1922-1961, amidst patriarchal
background status and colonial incursion. The paper argues that female labour was the most contributing factor
to food production, household upkeep and the growth of the local economy of Mamfe during the period of British
rule in the Southern Cameroons. It debunks the untested opinions of many Cameroonians that attributed the
survival means of Mamfe women to solely prostitution- a perception that ignored the potentials of the women and
the vital role of female labour. The data needed to sustain this argument was collected from primary sources- oral
interviews with targeted eye witnesses, archival materials and theses and, secondary sources such as published
books, journals and the internet. The historical mode has been used, largely qualitative analysis presented in a
thematic and chronological manner. Findings reveal that during the years reviewed, Mamfe women were
suppressed and engulfed in a patriarchy cultural background. Yet, they were the backbones of households;
ensured food security and stirred the growth of the Mamfe economy. This, paper therefore draws the attention of
Governments, Non-Governmental and International Organizations on the need for gender-based policies that
could further enhance women’s participation in the development of rural economies in Africa including
Cameroon- a prerequisite to food security and poverty alleviation.

This study evaluates the effect of corporate sustainability on business performance of manufacturing
industries in USA, from 2012 to 2015. These Manufacturing industries are listed in Corporate Social
Responsibility Hub (CSRHub), Morning Star and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). All data used in this report
were extracted from 37 manufacturing companies’ Sustainability, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and
annual reports. These companies are of diverse sectors such as Automobile, Health care, consumer goods, food,
beverages and technology. Quantitative method of research is used in this study; this also includes the use of
explanatory and descriptive research design. The main issues to be discussed in this study are Donation, Incident
rate reduction and Water Recycled as the independent variables, while Revenue is the dependent variable. Data
analysis was carried out using the regression analysis, descriptive statistics and correlation. E-views software
generated the data for further analysis. The findings imply that donation has a positive insignificance effect on
revenue, reduced incident rate reduction had positive significance effect on revenue and water recycling has
negative insignificant effect on revenue. In the future researches, larger samples of companies form diverse sectors
and subsectors should be studied to broaden the research on company performance especially the non-financial
aspect.
An empirical review on ethical business conduct among small and medium Malay ...AkashSharma618775
In the contemporary world of business, ethical conduct stood to be amongst very important practices that
businessmen are required to incorporate when conducting businesses. Yet, the challenges of globalization, trade
liberalization and profitability of businesses in the uncertain business environment are critically encourage
businessmen to engage in ethical conducts. To investigate this subject matter, the study employed Malay
businessmen at small and medium scale and analyse their participation in implementing ethical business conduct.
The study used four main dimensions of ethical business conducts namely personal values, managing social
responsibility, ways of conducting business and interaction with others in business setting. Moreover the study
categorized the target respondents on race basis thus the Bumiputera (Malaysians indegenious) composed of 50%
and non-Bumiputera thus Chinese and Indians at the rates in the distribution of 32% and 18% respectively.
Generally, businessmen at SMEs scale are aware of ethical business conduct and are implementing such matters;
yet, there are continuation of unethical conducts regardless of understanding of its importance to among the
businessmen in SMEs.
THE IMPACT OF TRADE LIBERALIZATION ON ECONOMIC GROWTH; THE CASE OF SUB-SAHARA...AkashSharma618775
The main aim of this research is to explore the effect of trade liberalization on economic growth in subSaharan Africa by analyzing certain macro-economic indicators using Ordinary Least Squares approach to
estimate regression equations. Many developing countries have substantially liberalized their trade regime over the
past three decades, either unilaterally or as part of multilateral initiatives. Nevertheless, trade barriers remain
high in many developing countries. One of the concerns that attributes to the reluctance of many of these countries
to liberalize their trade regime is the possible worsening of the trade balance.
This research paper is meant to give a recommendation on which macro-economic indicators sub-Saharan African
countries should pay particular attention to, implementing the necessary policies to ensure its effectiveness thereby
ensuring a step-up in those aspects of the economy in order to promote development. It considers 46 different
countries with different economic policies in sub-Saharan Africa for a 14-year period. Most papers considering
sub-Saharan African region consider a selected few countries based on certain economic reasons of their choice,
and those who consider most countries in the region have different macroeconomic indicators they employ for their
modeling. This paper considers if not all, almost all sub-Saharan African countries regardless of their economic
status.

dangers of current social and political structures. Numbers of dystopian novels have been published describing the
suffering and suppression in these societies. The main content of these novels point to the technological prevalence,
governmental sovereignty, environmental destruction and salvation. As an example, we will dive in a deep
analyzing for the dystopian novel (Fahrenheit 451) by Ray Bradbury. The title of the novel refers to the
temperature at which paper burn. The ban of the books imposed by the American government on people.
Fahrenheit 451 is an oppressive future. The novel is about a fireman whose duty to destroy all books begins to
question his task.
Keywords: Dystopia, Fahrenheit 451, fictional society, technological prevalence, governmental sovereignty,
environmental destruction.
1. INTRODUCTION
What is Dystopia?
Dystopia is a scary imaginary world stuck in chaos. Immoral society governs by absolute evil where there is no place for
virtue. In other words, it is humanitarian society characterized by devastation, illness, crime, poverty and repression.
People in this society transform to beasts.
In Latin (Dystopia ) means Malignant which is the opposite of Idealism ( Utopia ). Many novels have been written
describing these societies in different imaginary works especially those about the speculative future.
Dystopia describes as totalitarian government, environmental disasters and whatever related to catastrophic decadence in
society. Characters are struggling against destruction, diseases, technological control and dictatorial repression.
The importance of Dystopia?
Dystopia works have an educational message arousing poverty, depression and anarchism problems. Margaret Atwood is
one of the most dystopia writers says “ If you are interested in writing a dystopian novel offer lessons about the present by
looking ahead to the future”. Atwood‟s novel (Gilead ) which was published in 1985 was about future service in United
State. It is set in a near-future in a strongly patriarchal, controlling economic status, known as Republic of Gilead, that
has overthrown the United states government. Dystopian novels can challenge readers to think differently about their
social and political climate and in some instances can even inspire action”.
What is the importance of Dystopia in literature?
It is may be a method to human enlightenment and an exhortation from existing social and political organizations.
Dystopian may present writer‟s believes as in ( The Time Machine ) in 1895. The socialist novelist, HG Wells presented
English Victorian scientist who built time machine and witnessed capitalist society‟s falls.

The novel depicts a world where all various kinds of science, knowledge and literature books are banned from all areas of
life and possessing , let alone reading them, is forbidden.
The protagonist, Montag is a fireman responsible for destroying what remains but as his pleasure gives away to doubt, the
story raises critical questions of how to preserve one‟s mind in a society where free will , self- expression and curiosity
are under fire.
In Montag‟s world, mass media has a monopoly on information, erasing all ability for independent thoughts. On the
subway, ads blast out of the walls. At home, Montag‟s wife Midred listens to the radio around the clock, and three of their
parlor walls are plastered with screens. At work, the smell of Kerosene hangs over Montag‟s colleagues, who smoke and
set their mechanical hound after rats to pass the time. When the alarm sounds they surge out in a salamander-shaped
vehicles, sometimes to burn whole libraries to the ground.
But as he sets tomes a blasé day after day like “black butterflies” , Motang‟s mind occasionally wonders to contraband
that lies hidden in his home. Gradually he begins to question the basis of his work.
Montag realizes he is always felt uneasy but he has lacked the descriptive word to express his feelings in a society where
even uttering the phrase “ once upon a time „ can be fatal.
Fahrenheit 451decipt a world governed by surveillance, robotics and virtual reality a vision that proved remarkably
prescient but also spoke to the concerns of the time.
The novel was published in 1953 at the height of cold war. This era kindled widespread paranoia and fear throughout
Bradbury‟s home country of United States amplified by the suppression of information and brutal government
investigations.
In particular, this witch hunt mentality targeted artists and writers who were suspected of Communist Sympathies.
Bradbury was alarmed at this cultural crackdown. He believed it set a dangerous precedent for further censorship, and was
reminded of the destruction of library of Alexandria and the book burning of Fascist regimes.
He explored the chilling connections Fahrenheit 45, lilted after the temperature at which paper burns. The accuracy of that
temperature has been called into question, but doesn‟t diminish the novel‟s standing as a masterpiece of dystopian fiction.
Dystopian fiction as a genre amplification troubling features of the world around us and imagines the consequences of
taking them to an extreme.
In many Dystopian stories, the government imposes constrictions onto unwilling subjects but in Fahrenheit 451, Montag
learns that it was the apathy of the masses that gave rise to the current regime. The government merely capitalized short
attention spans and the appetite for mindless entertainment reducing the circulation of ideas to ash.
A cultural disappear, imagination and self-expression follow. Even the way people talk is short-circuited-such as when
Montag‟s boss captain Beatty describes the acceleration of mass culture: “ speed up the film, Montag, quick, click, pick,
look, eye, now, flick, here, there, swift, pace, up, down, in , out, why, how, who, what, were, eh, uh, bang, smack, wall
up, bing, bong, boom, digest, politics!” One column, two sentences, a headline! Then in mid-air all vanishes.
In this barren world, Montag learns how difficult it is to resist when there is nothing left to hold onto.
Although, Fahrenheit 451is a port rail independent on the brink of extinction and paraple about society which is complicit
own combustion.

As Montag is going to his work and vice versa to his house by train he never recognizes people around him because he
doesn‟t have a social life. When suddenly a young lady presented herself as his neighbor started a conversation with him
pointed that she could smell a kerosene in him. He was‟t surprised from her comments because he find that this smell
seems like any perfume. She also began to wonder why does he have this kind of job? Again he answered it is like any
other job and commentated “ he doesn‟t like books, they are rubbish, dangerous and antisocial”, He never reads a book in
his life for many reasons; it is restricted, forbidden and have better things to do.
Now he began to think whether he is having a happy life since he has an ambitious wife and a house with concealment
furniture ( cigar and box of chocolate).
Suddenly with all these confusions he feels like reading , he choose to start with one of the most greatest novels of the
Victorian era Charles Dickens‟s David Copperfield .The writer was very distinguished in making Montag initiates with a
story begins in “ Once upon time …….” Everything has a beginning and this is the launch of new Montag‟s
enlightenment, culture and cultivation.
One the other hand, the outside world around Montag still attached to darkness and density. Chasing people in public
places; searching for books everywhere . Even children in Ray Bradburry „s story runaway from policemen in their
formal suits hiding while they should feel save and in their present. Wherever there is a fire brigade there will be fire to
ignite instead of spreading flames .
The most outrageous and shocking incident that change Montag‟s life and attitudes towards reading books was watching
an old lady sacrificing her life defending her cultural treasure ( biography, novels, equality, philosophy and …..). They
are the air she breathe ; they are her life ; she cannot live without them; that was her repressed emotions that she can‟t
disclose. When the condemned lady saw her books burning ;she said she could hear them talking to her about their
suffering. She lived with them and she wanted to die with them. She will be martyr. The dystopian and sorrowful scene
made Montag beseeched his boss to save the old lady who forced him to leave the place immediately.
Doubts and transformation began to go in equal line. For his wife : he wants to sit by himself for many hours , never goes
to his bed and stays away from her for the whole night‟ there must be something is going on” she doubted.. Searching
their home and finding books in a hidden places ; she did not hesitate to express her fears for him and having them is
against the law. She urged him to get rid of these ruinous power otherwise she threatened to leave him. While on the other
hand, Montag feels that they are becoming his new family and criticizes his wife‟s monotonous life. He wants her to
share him her interests. Montag seems unhappy anymore going to his work. He couldn‟t concentrate on his job he even
forgot to wear his safety helmet. He does not want to be a fireman anymore.
Illusions and dreams visited our hero. He dreamt that something had happened to his neighbor and he woke on a realistic
scene where she was asking for his help. Her uncle was arrested but she managed to run away from the fatal brigade. She
told him of what had happened and left with assurance that they will be a reunion between them in a spot called ( Book
People ). A place embraces vanished, released, hide, wait to arrest and disband educated people.
Because of her fears and her conviction that her husband walking against the stream; she informed the authorities about
him. Once he was at work his boss told him that they have a mission to finish and they can not finish this task without
him. When the brigade started her way of destruction he never suspected that they were going to his house but when they
are coming closer he realized that his home was the target. Whenever they break into they collected the books which they
know exactly where they are. Montag did not wait to witness what he was doing for his whole life as a firemen instead he
became furious and started to destroy everything in front of him by himself burning his boss in the fire which was
destroying t minds before papers. His boss burnt in the hell that he used to watch with exhilaration. Now Montag is a
criminal chased by mind destroyer. He ran away to his new life to his salvation.
Montag walked away without looking back till he reached ( Book People) . There he was welcomed by sketches the of
most famous writers: Emily Bronte, Samuel Bechett, John Paul Sartre, Charles Dickens ,and Machiavelli. Mentalities who
have to read books quickly , memorized and burn them quickly. These books never be taken from any one ; never got
lost because they are kept in their minds .
