Abstract

This article is aimed at demonstrating how the Constitution of the United States has failed to safeguard and protect the basic and inalienable rights of the American citizen, the African American in particular. It also analyzes and interprets the dreams of the American citizens through the perspective of Hughes in his poems. Indeed, at the elaboration and the implementation of the Constitution of the United States with its additional amendments in the 18th century, one of the basic tenets was justice and the protection of all the American citizens regardless of race and gender; however, in the American societies of the 20th century, the inalienable rights of some Americans, mainly Blacks were not granted or protected. Theoretically, critical race theory is used to analyze and interpret the data of the study. The qualitative method is employed in the process of collecting the study’s data. The results of the study have shown that the inalienable rights of the African Americans advocated by the Constitution of the United States and its related amendments were not reflected in society. Indeed, despite their citizenship, their inalienable civil rights were not fully protected, as the majority of them lived on the margins of society. In addition, they were prevented from attending high-profile schools and exercising some occupations reserved for the Whites. The results finally reveal that the dream of the ordinary African Americans was the restoration and the realization of the human rights principles inscribed in the Constitution of the United States through its additional amendments. This would guarantee justice and equal rights for all American nationals regardless of their gender and skin color.

Abstract

Hate speech is a phenomenon that frequently occurs in society, particularly on social media. Hate speech refers to sentences designed to contain harsh words to insult, hate, and discriminate against the characteristics, race, religion, and even the gender of a person or group of people. This study aims to examine the types of hate speech contained in the comment column of Abidzar Al Ghifari's Instagram post using the types of hate speech based on the National Police Chief's circular letter number SE/6/X/2015. The researcher also revealed the illocutionary act of the hate speech using Speech Act Theory by Searle (1969). The qualitative method was used to describe this research. Data were collected from the comment column on Abidzar's Instagram posts. The data were analyzed using data analysis procedure techniques by Miles and Huberman (2014). The results showed that there were 30 hate speeches with each type, namely, insult (10 data), defamation (5), provocation (11), and incitement (4).  As for the illocutionary act data, there are (4) assertive data, (17) directive data, (3) commissive data, and (6) expressive data. It can be seen that the most dominant type of hate speech is provocation, and for an illocutionary act, it is directive.

Abstract

The Pothwar Plateau in Pakistan, encompassing the districts of Chakwal, Attock, and Jhelum, is experiencing severe water scarcity, which has a significant socioeconomic impact on the nearby rural population that primarily depends on rain-fed agriculture. Through semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and field observations, this study employed a qualitative research methodology to investigate the impact of water shortages on household income, agricultural production, migratory trends, health, education, and social stability. According to the findings, crop yields have decreased significantly due to unpredictable rainfall and groundwater depletion, prompting many farmers to abandon farming altogether or switch to low-value crops. Rural-urban migration has been exacerbated by the decline in agricultural revenue, particularly the loss of young male labour, which has intensified the economic and social constraints on families left behind, especially women. Competition for water supplies has also led to disputes within communities and the eventual breakdown of traditional water-sharing systems. The poverty cycle has been made worse by declining health and education investment as a result of family financial hardships. Although local communities have attempted to address water shortages through conventional means, their efforts have been constrained by a lack of infrastructure investment and regulatory support. To increase water use efficiency and social resilience, the Pothwar region urgently needs an integrated water resources management (IWRM) strategy that combines contemporary water-saving technologies (like drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting) with community participatory governance, according to the study. The study's findings provide valuable insights for policymakers in Pakistan and other regions affected by drought, supporting the pursuit of sustainable development and equitable water distribution.

Abstract

This study examines the developmental role of newly established Special Economic Zones (SEZs) under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor in District Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It explores stakeholder perceptions, including those of entrepreneurs, business owners, development professionals, transport operators, officials, and community members, regarding economic, infrastructural, social, cultural, and environmental impacts of these initiatives. Guided by Social Exchange Theory, regression analysis was employed to examine the impact of five independent variables on local development. Results show that economic impact (β = 0.295, p < 0.01), infrastructure development (β = 0.318, p < 0.001), and socio-economic progress (β = 0.437, p < 0.001) significantly enhance perceptions of development, while cultural factors (β = −0.138, p = 0.025) and environmental sustainability (β = 0.219, p = 0.006) exert more subtle effects. A strong combined influence (β = 0.493, p < 0.001) affirms the multidimensional character of these dynamics. Respondents expressed optimism about job creation, connectivity, and economic opportunities, yet raised concerns about biodiversity loss, pollution, land conversion, and threats to local identity, norms, and traditions. These socio-cultural and environmental costs risk eroding support for SEZ-led development. The study concludes that sustainable local development requires policies that ensure equitable distribution of benefits, cultural sensitivity, and environmental safeguards, alongside programs for marginalised groups and long-term adaptive monitoring. Balancing economic objectives with social and ecological protections is essential for inclusive growth within the corridor framework.

Abstract

This study examines the syntactic roles of prepositions in Tetum and postpositions in Makasae, with a focus on their functions in conveying spatial and relational concepts. Tetum, an Austronesian language spoken in East Timor, and Makasae, a Trans-New Guinea language spoken in Timor-Leste's eastern districts, employ different syntactic structures for conveying relationships between noun phrases and other sentence elements. While Tetum uses prepositions such as "iha" (at) that precede the noun phrase, Makasae uses postpositions such as "isi e'e," "isi we'e," and "isi wo'i," which follow the noun phrase to express similar spatial relations. The research employs a qualitative methodology, using elicitation and interviews with native speakers of both languages. Native speakers of Makasae were asked to produce sentences using "isi e'e," "isi we'e," and "isi wo'i" in various syntactic contexts, while interviews provided insights into the intuitive use of these postpositions across different speech settings. The collected data was analyzed thematically to identify patterns in the syntactic behavior of these postpositions and to compare them with the prepositional system of Tetum. Findings reveal that "isi e'e," "isi we'e," and "isi wo'i" function similarly to prepositions in English, such as "in" or "at," but differ in their syntactic placement, as they follow the noun phrase in Makasae. This contrasts with the prepositional structure of Tetum, where prepositions like "iha" precede the noun phrase. Despite these syntactic differences, both languages convey spatial and relational meaning effectively, highlighting the typological diversity within the Austronesian and Papuan language families.
