This paper attempts to yield a critical reading of Harold Pinter’s One for the Road (1985) regarding the theorist Hannah Arendt’s writings. Seemingly, Pinter’s play is one of these pieces that clarifies the principles on which totalitarians depended to widely spread their regimes, notions and dominate the nation or nations. However, the attempt of the paper has been made in analyzing Pinter’s text considering Arendt’s philosophy. In accordance with One for the Road, it shows how the totalitarians behavior is, how they depended on torturing their prisoners, and how their victims were threatened. It tries to clarify how the citizens or individuals were under unlimited danger that surrounding them while governed by totalitarians. These attempts lead to figure out whether or not Pinter’s text and behavior of Nicolas is a propagandist. Moreover, the paper reveals whether terror is a very part of propaganda or not, and how terror ideologically affects an individual.

This research is concerned with the schematization of certain subschemata within the Husseini sermons as a religious genre that emphasizes good religious, social, and political attitudes. Based on Stockwell’s 2002 model of the schematic structure, several Al-Waeli’s sermons on the Husseini cause have been analyzed. The analysis has yielded several essential conclusions on the level of the cognitive conceptualization and the level of theme. Regarding the conceptualization, the employment of the objectives of the Husseini cause as a revolution against tyranny and persecution to address the public has triggered different scripts and frames within the major schemata of the Husseini discourse. As for the thematic conclusion, the Husseini discourse is a positive genre including good values and concepts that are adopted by Human rights such as freedom, love, peaceful coexistence, social equality, economic solutions, and other relevant issues. This research has a positive impact on humans’ cognitive behavior.

The analyzed inputs of the questionnaire have shown that most of the students did not practice E-learning before, and they have internet connection in their home. Furthermore, most of the students agreed that face-to-face classes are better and more valuable especially in terms of interaction, online learning is considered as an effective way to maintain the communication during the pandemic and the nature of feedback given from instructors affect students’ interaction. Moreover, instructors can motivate students to interact with them and with other students during online sessions. It is important to mention that online assessment is criterion that instructors need to take into consideration.

The COVID 19, global pandemic that gripped Zimbabwe throughout 2020 and beyond posed numerous challenges across sectors, including education. As a result of this disaster, several state governments devised mitigation strategies to address challenges. In light of the foregoing, the paper intends to conduct a critical review of the education sector's emergency response to the COVID19 crisis using the document analysis method. It evaluates this strategy as an alternative approach for teaching and learning, revealing its strengths, challenges, and gaps, as well as fostering recommendations for its improvement for future policy innovations. The study used a desk-review methodology, also known as systematic inquiry, to critically evaluate the foundation of education and psychology using empirically researched secondary data (Mertens 2010), which has the potential to yield important new knowledge about virtual teaching and learning where distance is not a barrier. Up to now, a number of challenges and gaps have emerged in this emergency response, necessitating the development of effective and efficient catastrophe preparedness and response policies by educational policymakers. The study findings revealed that there are gaps in Zimbabwe's disaster legislation, which has an impact on the preparedness of education for it to embark in virtual learning during COVID-19 lockdown. The research also found that the education sector is not adequately prepared for disaster risk reduction in order to reduce the sector's vulnerability. The study suggests that intensive mobilization of resource and capacity building be undertaken so as to achieve the envisioned goals in education, with no child left behind.
