Abstract

Death is a biological phenomenon that we cannot control. It might happen at any moment and in any place. In other words, we cannot predict when it will occur, hence, death is imminent. On the one hand, one might say that life is all one has and that the prospect of losing it is the greatest loss one can endure but the question that arises is, how prepared are you for that big day? Have you already come up with an approach yet? A life insurance plan offers advanced death care planning, and they present a lot of good causes for availing their death care plans. But how did they manage to persuade their clients? Thus, this study aims to gain insight into the persuasive tactics used by death care planners to convince their clients. How can the agents of a life plan service meet the needs of clients who wish to acquire life plans, and incredibly advanced death care plans? This study uncovered some of the challenges that death care planners encounter when convincing people to use their services. This study uses a qualitative research design with the help of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) in its implementation.

Abstract

India has been the land of diverse cultures and religions over a long period of time. The adherents to different religions have been coexisting peacefully and sharing both the glories and the downfalls together. Though there is a long and well-established tradition of religious engagement and debate in India, the process of religious dialogue, particularly Hindu-Muslim dialogue, has yet to find a cohesive expression and a stable foundation on which to stand. Who isn’t aware about the riots, violence and killings on the name of religion in the history of India? The hatred and the disbelief against Muslims have dealt a huge blow for the unity and diversity of India. However, there is still hope for religious dialogue in India, as the country has been a pluralist culture for centuries and the people have lived through religious tolerance and coexistence. The only solution to this would be interfaith dialogue which is mandatory if not dynamic for everyone to have the understanding of different religions or belief systems. In this article, I would start with a brief introduction about interfaith dialogue, its history in India and then discuss in detail the need, importance and contemporary challenges of interfaith dialogue in India. This would help in understanding the dialogue between Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and Sikhs, as well as to eliminate prejudices and misunderstandings regarding each other's faiths. It would also assist in the achievement of common goals such as the establishment of justice and world peace, the protection of human rights, and the promotion of moral values.

Abstract

Since the publication of Halliday and Hasan’s book Cohesion in English (1976), a few studies have been done on cohesion in short stories (Sari, 2016; Abed, 2016; Khaingo, 2016). However, to the best of our knowledge, not one has examined cohesion in Ali Douagi’s Sleepless Nights (1969) and Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery (1948). This paper tries to fill this gap by examining and comparing the use of grammatical cohesion and lexical cohesion in these two short stories. Using a qualitative and descriptive approach, this study identifies the grammatical and lexical cohesive devices utilized in the two short stories. The results show that both short stories utilize grammatical cohesion and lexical cohesion to build a text that “hangs together” as a consistent whole. However, a few differences between the two short stories can be observed: whereas Sleepless Nights uses the four types of grammatical cohesion (ellipsis, conjunction, reference and substitution), The Lottery is found to utilize ellipsis, conjunction and reference only. Also, a slight difference related to lexical cohesion can be observed: in The Lottery, text parts are found to be lexically tied through repetition, near-synonymy, hyponymy and antonymy. Sleepless Nights, however, utilizes hyponymy, repetition, synonymy, and antonymy. The results confirm the claim that cohesion is an integral element for any type of discourse, including short stories.
