Abstract

The development of every nation is highly dependent on the success of the individuals in it. This is but a realization of the adage that the average man if rationally organized, lives by the sweat of his brow. Every individual becomes successful based on the work he/she does. This is to say that the individual's success and the development of a nation are mutually dependent. The African woman’s engagement in prostitution as a livelihood has attracted all forms of dialogue, both in Africa and in the diaspora. The purpose of this study was to analyse how Amma Darko presents prostitution among African women in the Diaspora. To achieve this objective, we used Beyond the Horizon as their primary source of data. We analysed the factors that push women into prostitution in the Diaspora as well as the presentation of the practice of prostitution, as presented by the primary source. The findings of the study affirmed that women who go into prostitution in the diaspora are mostly blackmailed and coerced into it by their male benefactors who take them abroad. The study also revealed that through prostitution, women sex workers get addicted to drugs, and coming out of this trade becomes almost impossible. Based on the analysis, we conclude that the expectations of the families of the sojourning African women remain a strong influence on the women joining the sex industry.

Abstract

This study investigated project abstracts of undergraduate students across three faculties in a public university in Ghana. This study set out to examine two research questions: What rhetorical patterns can be identified in undergraduate students’ abstracts? What functions do these rhetorical patterns perform within the abstracts? This study was qualitative, and the research design was a case study. A total of 20 were randomly sampled from the Faculty of Computing and Information Systems (FoCIS), the Faculty of Engineering (FoE), and the Business School (BS). However, only 18 abstracts were included in this study, as two of the projects did not have an abstract. The research instruments were the students’ abstracts and focus group interviews. The framework we adopted for an in-depth analysis of the rhetorical patterns in the abstracts was Hyland’s five move patterns. The product of this study indicated that the students applied different rhetorical patterns in the abstracts. The participants’ most significant rhetorical moves and choices were manifested in the sequencing and placement of these moves within the rhetorical patterns. The responses from the participants on the functions of abstracts in research were positive. The researchers concluded that there should be rules and conventions in writing abstracts across the disciplines and the writing of abstracts should be guided by a framework and carefully supervised to enhance the students’ writing skills.
