Abstract

Reincarnation is a religious notion that refers to the belief in some religious traditions that a component of each human being (or all living beings) continues to live after death. Numerous rebirths are associated with the concept of cleansing and refining one's inner essence, and this component is repeated in an infinite number of rebirths. However, reincarnation is not a widespread concept among the Yoruba; it occurs in just two instances: in some circumstances of untimely death, in order for an individual to fulfil his or her God-given purpose or destiny in life, and in some cases of suicide. Unlike other notions, this is not a broad term; rather, it refers to a singular occurrence that is very unpredictable. Similarly, in the second case, the concept of reincarnation is applied very loosely; it is believed that an ancestor can reincarnate in the body of a child if their gender matches that of the deceased ancestor. This study opines that this occurs only when an ancestor dies prior to the birth of a new kid; it can be a real reincarnation or a desire conveyed through the names given to a child. The departed are thought to continue to exist in the afterlife; people who remain on Earth can make contact with them, and they retain all of their hereditary characteristics. It derives it data from both primary and secondary sources.

Abstract

Beyond the widespread judicial laxity, the failure of the security system in rural areas, and popular frustration, this article aims to examine the underlying issues of the two chronic social phenomena in the Anosy region, focusing on the case of Amboasary Sud: cattle theft and mob justice. The question then arises: what are the cultural and economic factors that influence cattle theft and mob justice? In this regard, primarily qualitative data from documents, field observations, and interviews were collected and analyzed. Following an analysis from a systemic perspective, our results reveal two main aspects. Firstly, the phenomena of cattle theft and mob justice, being interdependent, require an in-depth exploration of their cultural dimension. Culture thus plays a dual role: on one hand, it amplifies cattle theft, as the Bara community in Amboasary Sud inherits a civilization where theft symbolizes strength, perseverance, and constitutes a rite of passage into adulthood. On the other hand, culture can be considered an essential element in resolving conflicts related to cattle theft and mob justice, as it encompasses various values, representations, and social norms that rationalize the actions of both thieves and victims. Secondly, our results underscore the need to reconsider economic factors as primary drivers of the proliferation of these two phenomena. Given the persistent poverty, environmental problems such as drought and chronic malnutrition in the south, particularly in Amboasary Sud, addressing economic and environmental issues can significantly improve the situation.

Abstract

The study aimed at evaluating the influence of opinion leaders in interpersonal communication on alcohol consumption among students in government tertiary colleges in Kenya. The study was anchored on the two-step flow of communication model. The research used the descriptive cross-sectional survey design and utilized both qualitative and quantitative methods to collect data. From the campuses identified, a representative sample from each campus was chosen. A questionnaire was used to obtain qualitative data from sampled students. An interview guide was instrumental in interviewing key informants, while another guide for focus group discussions was used among the students to gather further qualitative data. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics (mainly percentages) and inferential statistics (the chi-square goodness of fit test) with the aid of SPSS. The results were presented using tables and bar graphs. The findings revealed that opinion leaders had a significant influence on the alcohol consumption behavior among college students. Opinion leaders such as peers, family members and celebrities influence behavior. This is an indication that through observation and interpersonal communication, the college students are likely to copy what their opinion leaders are doing, including alcohol consumption.
