Youth and pornography in Ghana: An ethical perspective Anderson Jnr, George; Oppong, Joseph Technology has caused more harm than good in Ghana to some extent. This is in view of the falling standards in moral foundations of children and youth in Ghana. In the recent years, youngsters are exposed to pornographic materials easily since internet and online materials are freely available in the name of freedom of speech. Pornography remains a socio-ethical topic not only in Ghana but also in many countries. This paper joins the discourse to examine the impact of pornographic consumption in Ghana from the ethical perspectives of Christianity. The findings revealed that the consumption of pornographic materials by the youth in Ghana has negative impact on their attitude, behavior and moral foundation 8p:, ill.

Wisdom, masculinity, and health in the book of Proverbs Okyere, Kojo “Being a man” in today’s world is a challenging and confusing task. Culture and religion, the two main sources from which men construct their identities, now have an important addition: the popular media. How men perceive themselves, however, is important because it has repercussions for women with respect to how they relate with women. Indeed, emerging studies on masculinity show that perceptions of what it means “to be a man” equally affect men who may be at risk because of their disposition to life. Previous studies on masculinity in the Hebrew Bible largely isolate and explain the qualities or traits that embody the concept of maleness in ancient Israel. Apart from the social practice of sexual relations, most of the studies, however, are removed from social life practices of Israelite men. For instance, little is known about the relationship between masculinity and health within the Israelite society. Nevertheless, several profane studies indicate that among the factors that shape health related beliefs and behaviours is the sociocultural element of gender. This paper, therefore, departs from previous studies on masculinity in the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible), by exploring the relationship between wisdom genre (specifically Proverbs) and masculinity, and how they impinge on health 27p:, ill.

Wife battery: a divine command from the garden of eden or a gene disorder in men? Ethical perspectives Anderson Jnr, George; Oppong, Joseph In the past, women in the Ghanaian traditional societies were mostly not actively involved in issues relating to decision-making, leadership, and public engagement in the company of men. Their place was the kitchen. That is, their responsibilities were to prepare meals, nurture the children, and tidy up the home. Besides, they were regarded as a man’s bought property. In this sense, women could be subjected to any form of inhumane treatments. One of such inhumane treatments that have caught the attention of scholars, human rights activists and some NGOs is wife battery. From an ethical perspective, we raise the question, what are the ethical bases for the reasons why men subject their wives to battery? Could it be a divine command from the Garden of Eden, a gene disorder in men or what? Using the descriptive research design of the qualitative methodology, this paper from an ethical perspective examines the act of wife battery and its effects on the family and the victim (woman). The paper argues, wife battery is neither a dictate from the Garden of Eden nor a gene disorder in men, however it is rather an erroneous socialization of men towards how they should treat women. Further to note, wife battery in its essence is an unethical behavior. This is because the act is unjust, maleficent, reduces the worth and dignity of women, dehumanizes, and alters the physical and psychological framework of women 7p:, ill.

Understanding comprehensive learning requirements in the light of al-Zarnūjī’s Ta‘līm al-Muta‘allim Huda, Miftachul; Yusuf, Jibrail Bin; Jasmi, Kamarul Azmi; Zakaria, Gamal Nasir This article examines the requirements for quality learning in Islam from the perspective of al-Zarnūjī and according to his book, Ta‘līm al-Muta‘allim. This book has been a source of reference for both students and teachers in many educational institutions in Muslim countries, particularly, the Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. The article attempts to understand the students’ learning requirements proposed by al-Zarnūjī in the above treatise. It is, therefore, a library-based research. The research tackles many issues. It addresses the need for a broad-based learning process and analyzes the requirements in the light of the modern day learning circumstances. It was found that al-Zarnūjī’s theory of quality learning is conditional on six main principles which are, indeed, determinants of quality student outcomes. These are intelligence or high learning ability; high motivation for learning; patience, emotional stability, and commitment to the learning process; availability of financial support; inspiration of the teachers; and disposition to time management in the learning process. The notion of quality education is fundamental to the classical perspective of learning in Islam 14p:, ill.
