@Research Paper <#LINE#>Social Changes and Peer Group Influence among the Adolescents Pursuing Under Graduation<#LINE#>Udhayakumar@Palaniswamy,Ilango@Ponnuswami<#LINE#>1-5<#LINE#>1.ISCA-IRJSS-2012-054.pdf<#LINE#> Department of Social Work, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, Tamilnadu, INDIA<#LINE#>23/10/2012<#LINE#>24/11/2012<#LINE#> The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of impact of social changes and peer group influence during adolescence. Adolescence is an age when an individual becomes integrated into the society of adults, the age when the child no longer feels that he is below the level of elders, equal, at least in rights. This integration into adult society has many affective aspects and changes in social behaviour. The purpose of this quantitative, descriptive study was to explore social changes and peer group influence during adolescence. Self -prepared 5 point scale was used to assess the social changes among adolescence. Since friendship in early adolescence plays an important role in psychosocial development, the findings of the study shows that overall social changes has positive correlation with various dimension of social changes like peer group influence, changes in social behaviour, social grouping, selection of friends, social acceptance and selection of leader during adolescence. <#LINE#> @ @ Buhs E.S., Ladd G.W. and Herald S.L., Peer exclusion and victimization: Processes that mediate the relation between peer group rejection and children’s classroom engagement and achievement?, Journal of Educational Psychology, 98, 1-13, (2006) @No $ @ @ Bijstra J.O., Bosma, H.A. and Jackson S., The relationship between social skills and psycho-social functioning in early adolescence, Personality and Individual Differences, 16, 767–776 (1994) @No $ @ @ Bijstra J.O., Jackson S., and Bosma, H.

Child labour, and in particular, “child ragpicking” deprives the child of its life. It transcends the barriers of religion, gender, caste and type of family. However, education, structure of family and poverty of the total family do play an important role in the life of child ragpickers. Ragpicking when undertaken as job, by the children, pushes them to the brink of anti-social behavior and illness. <#LINE#> @ @ Rehman M.M. and Mehartaj Begum S., Child Labour and Child Rights. -A Compendium, Manak publications, New-Delhi (2002) @No $ @ @ Tapan Kumar Shandilya and Shakeel Ahmed Khan ,Child Labour; A Global Challenge Deep and Deep Publications, New-Delhi (2006) @No $ @ @ Siddiqui M.I., Child labour; How to Investigate Deep and Deep Publication, New Delhi (2003) @No $ @ @ Bal Kumar K.C. etal, Nepal, Situation of Child Ragpickers; A Rapid Assessment, www.ilo.org (2001) @No $ @ @ Mustafa Mohad and Sharm Omkara, Child Labour in India; A Bitter Truth.

The migrant women workers face several problems such as low wages, health hazards, sexual exploitation and denial of their fundament al rights. Through this study the researcher aims to analyze the life of these migrant women workers. The specific objectives of the study are to identify the occupational health problems and exploitation faced by the women migrant workers and the expectations of the migrant women workers. The research design used for this study is descriptive. The sampling strategy used is simple random through lottery method. Data was collected from 100 respondents using an interview schedule by directly interviewing the respondents. The present study reveals that majority of the respondents (56%) seems to be affected by all kinds of skin diseases. Skin related problems occur because of heavy disposal of sunrays when the workers work in the quarry. Majority of the respondents (59%) say that no availability of the fencing or physical barriers are not available to prevent unauthorized entry. Most of the respondents say (90%) that heat stress, noise, dust related problem, vibration and stress problem are prevalent in the work place and majority of the respondents say that the problems of lighting, radiation, renal, liver and occupational cancers are less due to work. Migrant women workers are not having any basic facilities. They are deprived of their basic rights and are exploited by the contractors. So there is an urgent need for the protection of migrant women workers to overcome these problems. <#LINE#> @ @ Hein de Haas., Remittances, Migration and Social Development, A Conceptual Review of the Literature, Social Policy and Development Programme, United Nations Research Institute for Social Development, 1020-8208 (2007) @No $ @ @ Bela Hovy, Rogel Nuguid, Rhea Saab, Children, Adolescents and Migration: Partnering to Develop to Evidence& Build Dialogue, http://w ww.unicef.org/ socialpolicy/files /Children_Adolescents_and_Migration. pdf (2006) @No $ @ @ Jayati Ghosh, Globalisation, Export-Oriented Employment for Women and Social Policy: A Case Study of India, Employment for Women and Social Policy (2001) @No $ @ @ Vincent Williams, Jonathan Crush, Peggy Nicholson, Southern African Migration Project, The UN Convention on the Rights of Migrant Workers: The Ratification Non-Debate, ASEAN Commission on Migrant Workers (AMW) (2006) @No $ @ @ Shulamith Koenig, The Human Rights of Migrant Workers, The people’s Movement for Human Rights Education, New York, http://www.pdhre.org/rights /migrants.html (2013) @No @Research Article <#LINE#>Mainstreaming Economic Empowerment of Women through State Govt.

By analyzing some of the colonial maps of the nineteenth century in North-East India we shall illustrate the historical processes of the making of the 'Naga Hills' as a distinctive place identity for the Nagas by the end of the century. The purpose is to see how a distinctive place identity called 'Naga Hills' came into existence. It is to be noted that how the colonial official views the 'long strip of hill country' as a barrier and how a place called the Naga Hills was established by this time. Once spaces were explored, surveyed and mapped by locating and naming places and people, as part of its knowledge-power nexus, the next colonial project was to translate their discourse into a political language - the acquisition of 'territory'. <#LINE#> @ @ Leach E.R., The Frontier of Burma, Comparative Studies in Society and History., 3(1) (1960) @No $ @ @ Gopalkrishnan R., Ideology, Autonomy and Integration in the North-East India: Issues in Political Geography, Omsons Publications, New Delhi, 22 (1990) @No $ @ @ Gopalkrishnan R., Ideology, Autonomy and Integration in the North-East India: Issues in Political Geography, Omsons Publications, New Delhi, 22 (1990) @No $ @ @ Montgomery M., The History, Antiquities, Topography, and Statistics of Eastern India, Vol. V, Cosmo Publications, New Delhi (1976) @No $ @ @ Welsh., Report on Assam 1784 in N.N.

Restorative justice aims at encouraging offenders to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions, express repentance and repair the harm they have done. Restorative justice also emphasizes the reintegration of offenders into communities rather than their control through strategies of punishment and exclusion. Restorative justice is an evolving response to crimes that respect the dignity and equality of each person, builds understanding, and promotes social harmony. This process Provides an opportunity for victims to obtain reparation, feel safer and seek closure, allow offenders to game insight into the cause and effects of their behavior and take responsibility in a meaningful way, and enable communities to understand the underlying causes of crime. What required is a paradigm-shift from punitive justice, to restorative justice, which will meet to the need for restitution or reparation of harm to the victims and prevail over demand for punishment.

This has not only produce digester effect on an individual’s human life but it has destroyed the human qualities and society as a whole. The result of new economic system goes against the forces a society, degrading the human qualities. It will inevitably rob the human society of all peace of mind and healthy living. To find a solution to this problem Rabindranath has delved deep into the history of human society, to find a remedy to this problem. In short he came to the conclusion that equally of production and distribution as Marx propounded in his economic theory may lead the society to save the mankind from the impending digester. <#LINE#> @ @ Shil S., Bishwayan O Rabindranath, Pratibhas, Kolkata (2009) @No $ @ @ Gates B., The Road Ahead.

Most of the present generation problems are the result of technological and scientific successes. Scientific mode of production and consumption has led to the problem of unsustainable development because of the ignorance of morality and ethics of development as well as sustainable traditional knowledge. Modern scientific knowledge is trying to find a solution for the sustainable development but at the same time we cannot ignore the fact that the Traditional Knowledge is equally important to supplement the scientific knowledge. Sustainable development is an ecological problem so, the knowledge and people who are close to the nature will have potential solution and their involvement must come into policy discussion. This paper further discusses about the importance of Modern and Traditional Knowledge in sustainable development and how the available information is being disseminated through the various Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in India. <#LINE#> @ @ Civil Service Chronicle (CSC), The indispensability of sustainable development, environmental issues, IAS 2012 value addition-3, civil service chronicle, New Delhi, 55-56 (2012) @No $ @ @ Kates, Robert W., Thomas M.

It does not fit into any kind of classification that is generally used to categorise the party systems. It is defined by the singular nature of Indian politics, on the one hand, and the nature of the state-society relationship on the other. In the last two decades, there has been a substantial change both in the nature of politics as well as in nature of relationship between the state and the society. One of the very important manifestations of change is visible in the context of the politicisation of the greater number of people, especially those belonging to the less privileged sections of society. That explains the change in the nature of the party system as well. The distinctive features that defined the party system of India in the first two decades after independence are no more to be seen at present. In order to understand the present nature of the party system, it is important to trace its history and to refer to its political logic in the context of the changing state-society relationship. This article deals with the nature of the party system in India. It aims at underlying the evolution of the party system in the pre and post-independence period. To understand the nature of the party system in India and identify its various characteristics, analyses the changing nature of party system and explains the emerging patterns and discuss the socio-economic and the political factors underlying the changing nature of party politics. <#LINE#> @ @ Stokes.
