Mythologies Reimagined: The Influence of Cartoon Adaptations on Children’s Cultural Identity and Values

2025-04-05T12:40:25+00:00

Modern cartoon versions of ancient legends provide a unique perspective for examining the effects on children's cultural identity and values. This study looks at how modern myth- and folklore-inspired animated shows and movies affect young viewers' perceptions of cultural narratives and moral principles. We evaluate how popularized versions of tales from different cultures-including Greek, Hindu, and Norse mythologies-affect children's cultural awareness around the world.

We contend that by frequently incorporating moral lessons and current social norms into classic stories, these animated versions act as a link between traditional customs and contemporary values. In addition to preserving cultural history, this dual function modifies it to fit in with the social climate of the present. In order to determine the perceived impact on cultural identification and value formation, the study used a mixed-method approach, combining surveys and interviews with educators and children with content analysis of a few chosen cartoons.

The results demonstrate how cartoon adaptations have the power to both preserve and alter cultural narratives, pointing to a major educational role in young people's mental development. This research adds to the larger discussion on the role of media in cultural education and identity building by considering the harmony between tradition and innovation.

Role of Self Regulation in Sustainable Learning amongst Adolescents

2025-04-05T12:47:04+00:00

This article presents theoretical conceptualization the role of self regulation in sustainable learning. Self regulation refers to the student – initiated regulation of strategies and activites such as planning , adjusting ,monitoring and evaluating their own learning. Self regulated learning is a skill that can help students learn more effectively and sustainably. It’s a critical skill for lifelong learning and can help students build knowledge that’s relevant to their current and future needs. Different ways that SRL can help with sustainable learning are (1) Develops proactive learning (2) Improves performance (3) Integrates knowledge (4) teachable skill

Self- regulated learning is a key factor in sustainable learning as it help students develop the skills - learn independently , adapting to new situations, develop lifelong learning skills , prepare students for future learning ,help students to become critical thinkers, help learners stay focused on goals by experiencing the sense of achievement and long term progress . SRL enhance life long learning and transfer skill , knowledge and abilities from one situation to another.

To further understand SLE and SRL , this is an important and novel future direction for research and educational practice

Damages and Losses of Israeli War on GazaStrip

2025-05-01T12:22:03+00:00

Since its outbreak on 7 October 2023, the conflict in the Gaza Strip has led to massive loss of life, large-scale displacement, and extensive damage to social, physical and productive infrastructure, resulting in a deep humanitarian crisis. Violence, instability and spillover effects have also affected the West Bank. As of January 2025, more than 47,000 people have lost their lives, including at least 13,000 children, 7,200 women, and at least 111,000 people have been injured. More than two million people, mostly from the Gaza Strip, almost the entire population of Gaza, have been forced from their homes and face severe shortages of all basic necessities. The conflict has affected the entire population of Gaza, created enormous humanitarian needs, and resulted in hunger, malnutrition and disease. Severe shortages of supplies to meet basic needs have also seriously jeopardized livelihoods. In the West Bank, escalating violence, restrictions on access and movement of Palestinians, and displacement have led to human suffering, paralyzed economic activity, restricted access to basic services and severely damaged the financial situation of the Palestinian Authority.

A Review of the Systematic Study on the Prevalence of E-Cigarette use among University Students

2025-05-02T12:19:17+00:00

The review considers the prevalence of e-cigarette use among university students using different studies. Since e-cigarettes are highly popular compared with traditional tobacco products, it is important to research their use among young adults in order to improve public health strategies. The review looks into e-cigarette use rates, factors that influence students to begin smoking them, and the effects of vaping on academic performance and other hazardous behaviours, including substance abuse and psychological issues.

Conclusion based on the findings, e-cigarette use is widespread among university students, and usage varies across differing age groups, genders, social and economic backgrounds. Generally, male student’svape more compared to female students; in addition, the younger the student, the higher the rate of attempting e-cigarettes. Further, the review underlines how social influences, such as peer pressure and marketing through social media, result in vaping among students. Many university students consider e-liquids to be much safer than cigarettes and, therefore have increased usage rates.

Given the above situation, the article pointed out that there is a need for specific public health interventions with regard to controlling the use of e-cigarettes among students in university. This is in terms of a tighter regulation over advertisement and education about the risks associated with vaping. Thus, approaches to lifestyle should be made healthier to the youth. The prevalence levels of use of e-cigarettes and various consequences for health among students are also coupled with the need for further research.
