This document discusses work values and attitudes in Arab culture, how they have changed over time, and differences between generations and genders. It provides historical context on the Arab world and the impact of oil discoveries in the 20th century. It also examines increasing female participation in the workforce in the UAE from the 1980s to today. Generational differences and attitudes toward women at work are also explored. The evolution of work values from early tribal societies to the current globalized era is outlined. Issues related to women's roles and education in traditional Arab jobs are also summarized.
This document discusses the role of women in integral sustainable development. It summarizes the key findings from conferences on women's participation in power and decision making, which found that while women's participation in local governments has increased, they remain underrepresented in national governance. The document then outlines a framework for integral sustainable development that incorporates spiritual, human, social, cultural, political, economic and ecological dimensions. It argues this framework requires reframing concepts like power, leadership and women's role, mobilizing the "true feminine" through collective intelligence and generative dialogue rather than masculine notions of competition and unilateralism.
This document discusses gender and migration. It begins with defining gender and sex, and explaining how gender studies have evolved from initially only examining male migrants to also considering female migrants' experiences. It then explores concepts like intersectionality, geographical scales, social locations, and power geometries as frameworks for examining gender in migration. Specific topics covered include the feminization of migration in Asia, common female-dominated and male-dominated labor markets, issues like "de-skilling" and transnational parenting, and how gender relations shape immigration patterns and settlement experiences for both women and men. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of rights and examining policies in both sending and receiving countries to address gender inequality in migration.

The Role of Youths in Electoral Processes: An Appraisal of the Nigerian 2015 ...inventionjournals
Youths represent a significant proportion of the Nigerian Population, but in spite of this, their level of political participation and representation in the electoral process in the past has been very poor and often times undermined; being largely noticed at the level of electoral malpractices, voting irregularities and covert or overtthuggery in support of political office seekers who paradoxically have dominated the political arena to the point of total exclusion of the youths, yet all groups (youths inclusive) seek to influence dispensation of power. The research therefore sets out to analytically x-ray the issues and challenges that confronted youths in previous general elections viz a viz the tremendous effort made by youths in making the 2015 general elections a success, by particularly the use of social media as a propaganda machine and the dogged attitude displayed in the course of retrieving permanent voters card which is unparrarelled and unprecedented. The research implores the use of vivid descriptive scenarios to make sound and logical arguments on the plight and strive of youth in forestalling equity and fair play in our electoral process and also on the strides recorded thereof. Using variables such as lack of proper electoral education and sensitization in the past, religious, regional and sectional divide, poverty, deprivation, thuggery, social media, permanent voters card and so forth, the researchers conclude that youths have in the past been largely responsible for scuttling elections but were however instrumental to the success of the 2015 general elections. It therefore recommends amongst other things that, it is imperative to develop and enhance the capability of youths in the electoral process by creating a robust orientation programme and also engaging them to become financially and morally equip, so as to drastically reduce if not totally eradicate arm-twisting or manipulation of youths in the society.
The document discusses the status of women in India from ancient times to the present. It begins by noting that women had equal status with men in ancient India and held prominent positions, but their status deteriorated during the medieval period with the rise of practices like sati and child marriage. While women excelled in some fields, gender inequality increased under British colonial rule and the introduction of practices like purdah. Reformers in the 19th century worked to improve conditions for women. The document then outlines continuing issues related to health, education, employment, and violence facing women in India today despite constitutional guarantees of equality and women's advancement in some areas.

The education system in Finland has several notable features: it provides free basic education for all students near their homes, with no admission requirements or charges. The system aims to promote educational equality through a national curriculum. Schools provide general, intensified, or special support depending on student needs. Finnish schools emphasize early cooperation between teachers, authorities, and parents to intervene early if issues arise. The good results of Finland's education system are attributed to factors like skilled teachers, emphasis on teacher training, educational equality, special education supports, and a trust-based system focused on cooperation. Education in Rovaniemi includes several universities and vocational schools, with some rural schools having fewer than 100 students due to the large, remote area.

This document summarizes what the author's group learned about creating film opening sequences and using film production technology. They analyzed opening sequences from films like Se7en to understand techniques for suspense and visuals. They also learned skills like using iMovie and Photoshop as well as techniques like lighting, shots, and props. Creating a trial opening sequence helped them understand how to structure their own opening and apply what they learned. They had to develop skills in using cameras, tripods, and keeping shots steady. Working as a group helped them delegate tasks to complete large projects on time. Time management was an ongoing learning process to allow time for reshoots and editing. They also gained knowledge about key roles in film production.

This document summarizes Carolina Silveira's paper on youth as political actors in post-Arab Spring Tunisia. It discusses how youth are defined in Tunisia demographically, with 40% of the population under 25 years old. High youth unemployment, especially for educated youth, was a major factor driving the revolution. Since the revolution, most Tunisian youth still do not feel represented by politicians and many have become disengaged from voting due to distrust in the political system. Very few youth are directly involved in traditional politics as members of the National Constituent Assembly.
This document discusses the challenges and opportunities for Muslim youth in contributing to state-building. It argues that youth alienation from political processes has led some Muslim youth to see active engagement in politics as a way to contribute to their countries and gain recognition. However, Muslim youth are often stereotyped as disruptive or prone to radicalism. The document calls for giving Muslim youth greater roles in development, addressing their economic frustrations, and promoting their identity as positive change agents through civic engagement and building networks across communities. It also discusses the need to counter online extremist propaganda and radicalization of Muslim youth through education and promoting moderate religious views.

Rethinking Youth Economic Empowerment In Nigeria: Deepened Democratization, E...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Over the last few decades, the collapse of commodity prices and the attendant leaning of public resources ; incessant rise in births in the African continent leading to the expansion and geometrical growth of population; the growth of corruption within leadership of nations as a result of lessening sense of transparency and accountability have along with other factors jointly combined to impact negatively on the quality of today's youth and youthful populations in many African countries. In Nigeria, our main focus, the dominant majority of the youth population have been both targets and in some cases victims of maladministration of the nation's political and elite class. As targets of public officials and policy makers, several strategies have been worked out, a lot of resources expended all with a bid to checkmate the prolonged devastation that majorly confronted this vital group of a nation's population. In scripting this paper, consideration was given to data obtainable from seconadry literature compiled by other researchers and public sector documents from institutions of government at various levels -local, state and federal. The paper was concluded with a presentation of a series of program and policy level recommendations.
1) Young people are defined differently in different societies but are generally considered those aged 15-29. They are shaping a new set of values focused on personal growth, independence, tolerance, and environmental issues rather than materialism.
2) Research shows young people have little interest in traditional politics and political parties. They display cynicism and distrust towards politicians.
3) Barriers like not recognizing education as active work and delays in independence prevent young people from becoming active citizens earlier in life, turning them towards private concerns over communal ones.

The Halal Journal WHF 2012 Special Edition Muslim Youth Culture A New Hip Hop...Think Ethnic
The document discusses trends in Muslim youth culture, arguing that rather than becoming "Westernized", Muslim youth are entering a new phase of cultural development. It notes that over half of Muslims are under 24 years old, representing over 10% of the world's population. The author argues that globalization does not necessarily lead to cultural homogenization, and that Muslim youth are blending Islamic and non-Islamic cultural influences in unique ways, such as by customizing clothing with both Islamic and non-Islamic accessories. The trends point to Muslim youth building their own diverse cultural identities.
This document summarizes a study on youth engagement in Liberia conducted by Search for Common Ground, American University, and Liberian partners. Over 1,000 Liberian youth across 15 counties were interviewed to understand their priorities and perspectives. Key themes that emerged were: (1) education, with youth facing physical and social barriers to accessing education; (2) health, with insufficient infrastructure compromising health; (3) livelihoods, as youth struggle to meet work, school, and other demands with limited skills training opportunities; (4) politics and governance, where youth expressed mixed views of leadership; and (5) infrastructure, where development is needed to support other sectors. The study aims to inform policy by elevating
Youth, unemployment and national security in nigeriaOnyinye Chime
Abstract
Youth unemployment as it concerns national security has been garnering a significant body of literature. In the
burgeoning literature, the component parts of youth, unemployment and national security is not adequately
assessed and analyzed. This paper is an attempt to describe and analyze the component parts for a better
appreciation of youth unemployment on national security issues and challenges. The paper goes on to confirm
and put in historical perspective that the youth bulge and unemployment are catalysts to national security issues
and challenges. While not diminishing their importance, the paper posits that some of the data used in analyzing
unemployment need to be re-evaluated, placed in context and a new perspective proffered on the role and
importance of youth unemployment in the broad area of national security.

Contemporary christian organizations in the development of mass communication...Alexander Decker
Christian organizations in Nigeria have contributed significantly to the development of mass communication in recent years. They engage print and electronic media to spread their religious messages, contributing to growth in advertising, education and training, employment, and reading culture.

While some view youth as prone to violence, research shows this is often due to lack of opportunities and poor governance rather than demographics alone. Young people can play important roles in peacebuilding, conflict prevention and resolution, post-conflict reconstruction, and development through activities like peace education, empowerment, employment programs, and involvement in institutions like the African Union's early warning mechanisms. Overcoming challenges like lack of coordination and funding is important to realize youth's potential contributions.

The document examines various dialectics that have characterized discourses of development in Muslim Mindanao since World War II, including tensions between macro vs micro economic policies, indigenous vs national claims, and Western vs non-Western paradigms. It analyzes these dialectics in two categories: concrete applications focusing on economic policies, claims, and authority structures, and philosophical abstractions regarding paradigms, trauma vs resilience, and researcher neutrality vs action. The goal is to understand the complexity of development challenges in Muslim Mindanao and reveal the true forces at play in development efforts.
The document discusses the importance of youth in Latin America's social transformation and development. With over 106 million people aged 15-24 in Latin America, the future of the region depends greatly on decisions made regarding policies for this population. If efforts to address high youth unemployment and social inequality are to succeed, youth must be involved in designing solutions. Many youth are already leading social change through initiatives promoting democracy, education, and sustainable development. This initiative seeks to position youth as key actors for Latin America's sustainable development by strengthening youth leadership, sharing youth-led social change efforts, and advocating for intergenerational policies that benefit youth.

New Media: Sights of contestation or liberation for SA's Muslims Abstract - A...AwqafSA
This paper examines new media usage by Muslims in South Africa, as they have grown distrustful of mainstream media's coverage of Islam. South African Muslims frequently express discontent with stereotypical and negative media portrayals of their religion. This has led to the proliferation of Muslim-owned media alternatives, including email lists, social media groups, stand-up comedians and musicians. These new media platforms aim to present a more "balanced" and "authentic" view of Islam not found in established media, in order to counter perceived biases and misrepresentations that fuel Islamophobia. The paper will provide insight into how these Muslim media offerings have become popular credible alternatives to mainstream media for countering negative perceptions of their faith.

This document describes the 40-year relationship between two families - one Indian and one African - that began through a Muslim youth organization's dawah workshop in South Africa in the 1970s. The workshop inspired one of the African family's members, Uncle Omar, to accept Islam. He was paired with an Indian family, and over many years, the families overcame social, cultural, racial and religious divides to build a close relationship. They supported each other through challenges like deaths in the families. The experience taught lessons of forming interracial relationships through Islam, understanding different cultures, and how dawah can influence lives over generations.

Democracy and the nationalisation of land Abstract - Yousuf CajeeAwqafSA
Democracy has problems in dealing with nationalisation and control of Awqaf property. Examples will show how Waqf property in Muslim lands, meant to serve society, was nationalised or occupied, such as the cases of Awqaf institutions being controlled in Muslim countries and of land issues in occupied Palestine and apartheid-era South Africa. Solutions may lie in concepts of Shariah and Shura in balancing political life and ownership of ancestral lands and Awqaf property serving communities.
Waqf Development in Uganda Presentation - Dr. Husein Mohammed BowaAwqafSA
This document provides an overview of waqf (endowment) development in Uganda. It discusses the history of waqf in Uganda dating back to gifts given to kings in the 19th century.

The document outlines strategies for effectively developing waqf properties in Uganda, such as establishing a waqf database, obtaining land titles, allowing public-private partnerships, and utilizing Islamic financing. It also discusses some achievements of Uganda's Awqaf Secretariat in rediscovering land titles and establishing waqf policies. Overall, the future of waqf development

Leadership and Public Participation Among Young Muslim South Africans: Exploring Contemporary Trends Abstract - Dr. Lubna Nadvi
1. 2nd
International Congress on Islamic Civilization in Southern Africa
Paper Abstract
Presenter : Dr. Lubna Nadvi
Topic : Leadership and Public Participation Among Young Muslim South Africans :
Exploring Contemporary Trends
Institution : UKZN
Muslims in South Africa have despite being a minority community, made significant
contributions towards various facets of national development in a post – apartheid context. In
the last decade much of this contribution is arguably being made by a younger demographic
within the Muslim community whether it is by individuals or by representatives of youth
formations or the youth chapters of Muslim organisations. Although the participation by
young Muslims in public life is modest at best, there is nevertheless a clear and visible
presence of Muslim youth in public spaces where there had previously been a dearth of
involvement. This paper intends to track some of these trends and patterns in public
participation and involvement by Muslim youth over the period 2005 – 2015 to establish a
clearer picture of what the contribution has been and why it is significant. For the purposes of
this paper, the youth demographic is considered as being between the ages of 15 and 35.
