Deviance and Social Control

Islam provides a comprehensive framework for the socialization and education of children by emphasizing their spiritual, moral, and social development within an integrated value system. This study, titled Islamic Socialization of Children: A Sociological Perspective, examines how Islamic teachings guide child socialization and contribute to societal harmony. Using a qualitative research design, the study relies on textual analysis of the Holy Qur'an, Hadith literature, and classical and contemporary Islamic scholarship, along with relevant sociological and educational secondary sources. Thematic analysis was employed to identify the key agents, processes, and outcomes of Islamic socialization. The findings indicate that Islam promotes a multi-dimensional model in which the family serves as the primary institution responsible for early moral and spiritual nurturing, while educational and religious institutions such as schools, madrasas, and mosques reinforce ethical behavior, discipline, and social responsibility. Core values-including respect, honesty, compassion, cooperation, and God-consciousnessare systematically instilled through both formal instruction and everyday practices. The study further reveals that Islamic socialization integrates religious guidance with practical life skills, aiming to produce balanced and morally responsible individuals. It concludes that Islamic principles of child socialization offer a holistic sociological model that strengthens individual character and fosters peaceful, cohesive communities, suggesting that their effective implementation can contribute significantly to sustainable moral development and long-term social stability in contemporary Muslim societies.

The importance of human capital development in educational institutions cannot be overstated, particularly in the context of tertiary education where lecturers serve as the backbone of knowledge creation, skill development, innovation and national development. Business educators in Nigerian tertiary institutions -universities, polytechnics and colleges of education play a crucial role in producing graduates who possess business, entrepreneurial and vocational competencies needed for the nation's socio-economic development. However, the effectiveness of business educators depends largely on the extent to which they are exposed to talent development opportunities and the degree to which institutions can retain them for sustained services. Higher education systems rely heavily on competent academic staff who possess the necessary expertise to educate, mentor, conduct research, and contribute to national development. Among academic staff, business educators in tertiary institutions in Nigeria play a vital role in equipping students with 21st-century business and entrepreneurial skills. In order for these educators to be effective, institutions must

This philosophical treatise explores the fundamental question of whether the individual processing of childhood trauma can be considered an active contribution to global peace work. Using the concept of Friedrich Nietzsche's "Eternal Recurrence," the author analyzes the mechanisms of transgenerational transmission of suffering and emotional numbness, exemplified by the biography of Herta Bertel (1943–2024). The text bridges the gap between institutional trauma in the post-war era (child laborers/Verdingkinder, orphanage systems) and current or projected conflicts in Ukraine and Iran as of 2026. It argues that breaking patterns of projective identification is not merely personal healing, but an act of sabotage against the collective cycle of violence. Peace begins not at the negotiating table, but where the child no longer serves as a scapegoat for the unaddressed pain of the parents.

Poor architectural designs and the resulting configuration of buildings and spaces generate micro-environments that inhibit normal patterns of social interaction while conversely encouraging diverse deviant behaviour. Sustainable behaviour change can come about in a social and built environment that does not unduly suppress the personality of the offender. This perspective is consistent with the theoriesof environmental determinism whence design determinism (poor configuration of building spaces, resulting into unfamiliar visual patterns and illogical spatial patterns result in confusion and uncertainty) occasions anomie (stress and apathy) arsing from alienation (powerlessness, dissatisfaction with status quo, mistrust of authority & rejection of status quo and authority) and  crowding (loss of identity, comprosied territoriality, stress and tension). The latter two can be  explained by their respective alienation and crowding theories. In the eventuality where there is no course correction,, anomie evolves into deviance for the occupants of particular environments.
Environmental determiinism has progressively metamorphosed to possibilism, probabilism and eventually cultural ecology. The policies postulated here enjoy these erudite theoretical foundations that have guided the inquiry on three Kenyan prisons, Kamiti, Langata womens' prison and the industrial area prison, from where they emerge.

The beginning of corporate social responsibility in India has gone under many changes and eventually was brought to India of its cultural norms of companies' commitment of corporate social responsibility, with CSR denoting that the way in which businesses are properly managed to carry an overall positive impression on the societies, communities, cultures and environments in which they function . The basics of CSR deliberate on a statement that not only for public procedure, but even the corporate should be accountable and answerable enough to discourse the social issues and prudent challenges. Therefore the companies must deal with the key issues and related challenges which are to be considered to a certain degree by Indian corporate. It has been witnessed that among the other countries India has one of the richest backgrounds of CSR. Many important steps has been taking in recent years to make the entrepreneurs of India aware about their social responsibility as an integral se...

The Anatomy of the Regime of Fear: Evolution, Reset, and the Call for Civilization explores the historical and contemporary role of fear as the central mechanism of governance. From tribal societies to modern nation-states, fear has been systematically used to secure obedience, sustain political authority, and regulate collective behavior. The study argues that while ideologies such as socialism, liberal democracy, nationalism, or digital technocracy appear distinct, they all operate under a common denominator: the regime of fear.
This work examines the origins of fear-based governance, its institutional forms, and its cultural manifestations. It highlights how crises—wars, pandemics, economic collapses, or technological disruptions—are often leveraged to reinforce fear and reset systems of control. The book calls for an evolutionary step beyond fear-based orders, proposing a civilizational transformation grounded in trust, solidarity, and universal ethical principles. Rather than perpetuating cycles of domination, humanity must reimagine governance as a catalyst for consciousness, freedom, and collective flourishing.

The social dynamics and structure of society are structured in such a way that difference and uniqueness dominates here in the true sense of the word. Sociality and uniqueness are generally purely intertwined concepts. These meanings, whether they are part of a large civilization or separate local societies, are almost directly related to human nature and are conditioned by the geographical environment. In the background of the individual's social world, the role of what he has achieved up to his current state is, of course, important. The mechanism of social development of society is based on mutual and friendly relations of individuals with each other, normal stable behaviors, correct upbringing methods, etc. For this, it is necessary to have a healthy social environment, choose the correct upbringing method and style, apply the customs and traditions that have been ingrained in the blood memory of society for thousands of years, and apply stable behaviors. However, there is also the concept of deviance, which is outdated in all of our sayings, and the basis of this concept is the behavior that stems from the sociopsychological world of the individual, the level of consciousness, the relationship with the surrounding world, and the development mechanism of the world around him. Deviance is called a chain of behaviors observed in human individuals, each link of which is disproportionate to the existence of the correct upbringing method mentioned above, the set of social behaviors that society is accustomed to, and new social systems that are adopted or imposed on society from the outside, and are considered abnormal or alien to them by custom, and is rebellious. Deviant behaviors have been observed in all human societies throughout history. Deviance, which is more characteristic of the lifestyle of young people, manifests itself in the social sphere in various forms such as alcoholism and drug addiction, family problems, criminality, immorality, depression, suicide and other cases that we have not listed. The study of deviance is of great relevance in terms of studying the social environment of both Iran and Azerbaijan and taking preventive measures to solve the problem.

ITA: Il presente contributo prende le mosse dalla sottile linea di confine tra giusto e sbagliato in cui si muovono, in equilibrio precario, i personaggi di Giurato numero 2 di Clint Eastwood, che induce a una riflessione profonda sul ruolo odierno della giustizia, che troppo spesso tende verso la colpevolezza di un innocente e viceversa, con l’obiettivo di mostrare il contributo dell’arte cinematografica nella maturazione di una nuova consapevolezza giuridica, in un contesto in cui l’incertezza ha preso il sopravvento e i tradizionali paradigmi sociali e giuridici sono ormai capovolti.

ENG: This essay intends to start off from the thin line between right and wrong in which the characters of Clint Eastwood’s movie Juror #2 move in a precarious balance, which leads to a profound reflection on the current role of justice, which too often tends towards the guilt of an innocent person and vice versa, with the aim of showing the contribution of the cinematographic art in the maturation of a new legal awareness, in a context in which uncertainty has taken over and the traditional social and legal paradigms are now overturned.

This article outlines a methodology for the gradual prohibition of alcohol and gambling within corporate structures, drawing inspiration from the stages of prohibition presented in the Quran. Additionally, it explores a new perspective on Surah Al-Baqarah 2:219, highlighting its direct link to business practices by guiding large businesses and corporations on aligning their practices with Islamic ethical standards if a society chooses to adopt Quranic principles in their laws and constitution.
