The study aims at exploring the notion of human rights through investigating the attitude of university teachers and students (prospective teachers) towards global issues pertaining to human rights in Pakistan. The overall strategy for the current study is based on survey research design. From a methodological standpoint, mixed method paradigm (survey method and case-study) is used to gain quantitative and qualitative responses. Through stratified random sampling, total sample n=600, i.e., 520 students (prospective teachers), currently pursuing degree in education (B.Ed/M.Ed), and 80 teachers, currently teaching prospective teachers at public or private university were selected from 12 universities and four affiliated colleges of Sindh, Pakistan. For qualitative data, n=20 respondents were selected through purposive sampling. The quantitative data was collected using Human Rights Attitude Scale (HRAS), adapted from Attitudes toward Human Rights Inventory, ATHRI (Narvaez, Thoma & Getz, 2006) and Human Rights Questionnaire (Veizades et al., 1995). The adapted scale was validated through content validity, while Cronbach’s Alpha was statistically applied to check internal consistency (calculated as .90). For qualitative data, in-depth knowledge was inquired through focused group interviews. For ethical considerations, institutions and participants were informed about the research study through explanatory letter and informed consent was signed voluntarily. Overall, 96 hypotheses were tested using statistical tests (t-test and chi-square), while qualitative data was analyzed using themes. The study yields that there is a significant difference in the attitude of university students and teachers towards global issues pertaining to human rights (computed value of t= 6.22). There is a significant difference in the attitude of university students and teachers towards social security (t= 6.02) and civilian constraints (t= 4.92), while there is no significant difference towards personal liberties (t= 1.09). Significant differences are drawn among teachers on the basis of travelling, social/political affiliation, human rights training and experience, while significant differences are drawn among students on the basis of working status, location, schooling and last qualification. For item-by-item analysis, sixty hypotheses were tested out of which, forty hypotheses were rejected. From qualitative data, it was derived that students and teachers face multiple issues pertaining to human rights, which result in scarcity of expressing ideas in solving global issues pertaining to human rights. The respondents are not satisfied with the current state of human rights in Pakistan. Respondents emphasized on the role of teacher, education and higher education institution as a concrete ladder to foster positive changes in society. All the respondents highlighted the importance of incorporating global dimension in teacher education (TE) curriculum, but at the same time identified the missing gaps. Based on the results, suggestions and recommendations are submitted as supplements at the end

آپ ؐ بحیثیت معلم

آپ ؐ بحیثیت مُعلّم
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
لقد کان لکم فی رسول اللہ اسوۃ حسنہ
صدر ِذی وقار اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر لب کشائی کی سعادت حاصل ہور ہی ہے وہ ہے:’’آپؐ بحیثیت معلم ‘‘
جنابِ صدر!
’’وہ ہے اسوۂ حسنہ‘‘ اس مختصر وقت میں آپ ؐ کی زندگی کے تمام گوشوں پر روشنی ڈالنانا ممکن ہے میں صرف آپؐ بحیثیت معلم پراظہار خیال کروں گا۔
صاحبِ صدر!
حضورؐ کی سیرت طیبہ پر اگر سرسری نظر ڈالی جائے تو ہمیں وہاں زندگی کی بوقلمونیوں کا ایک حسین و جمیل مرقعّ نظر آتا ہے، وہاں جنگ کی شعلہ بیانیاں بھی ہیں اورصلح کی راحت و رحمت بھی، دشمن نفرت کے انگارے بھی برساتے ہیں اور عقیدت مند اپنی محبت و مودت کے رنگین پھول بھی نچھاور کر رہے ہوتے ہیں۔ ہم نے محبوبِ خداؐ کو حلقہ یاراں میں بھی دیکھا ہے اور حملہ آوروں کے نرغہ میں بھی۔ ہم نے ان کی کاروباری مصروفیتوں کا بھی مطالعہ کیا ہے، اور غارِ حرا میں خلوتوں میں ان کے سوز و گداز کا بھی جائزہ لیا ہے ،ہم نے انہیں اپنے وطن سے بظاہر انتہائی بے بسی اور بے کسی میں ہجرت کرتے بھی دیکھا ہے اور چند سال بعد اس شہر میں فاتحانہ انداز میں داخل ہونے کا منظر بھی ملاحظہ کیا ہے۔ اپنے اہل وعیال کے ساتھ ان کے برتاؤ کا ریکارڈ بھی ہمارے سامنے ہے اور اپنے جاں نثار اور وفا شعار ساتھیوں کے ساتھ حسن سلوک کی تفصیلات بھی ہمارے پیش نظر ہیں۔
جنابِ صدر!
زندگی کے وسیع وعریض میدان کا کوئی کونہ ایسانہیں ہے جہاں حبیب کبریا ؐنے اپنے اسوۂ حسنہ کے حسین و جمیل نقوش نہ چھوڑے ہوں۔ یہ جامعیت، یہ...

Financial Deteriorated Indicators in “The Domestic Crusaders” by Wajahat Ali

This research is based on the economic crisis in Wajahat Ali’s “The Domestic Crusaders” suffered by women through a Marxist feminist lens. Marx propounded the theory with his friend Fredrick Angels. Marxist feminism critiques capitalism as a system that exploits labor alienates people, and debases freedom. It emphasizes that women cannot achieve empowerment within capitalism and rejects treating women as separate groups. The focus of this research is to highlight the crisis under the influence of capitalism controlled by men. Wajahat Ali has presented the miserable plight of the Muslim American family under the influence of domestic colonization, acculturation, and supremacy. The results of this research show that the intergenerational gap between these three generations leads them towards crisis, fewer jobs and inflation is the other reason for the crisis. The major practice-restricted policies by homeland security have left no space among the family members with these unbearable crises. As a whole, this play is the depiction of a Muslim American family who has a jumbled experience under the squeeze of not only the economic snatchers but dealt with crisis also.

To Study of Risk Assessment Due to Extent of Hydrocarbons Contamination Along Coastline of Karachi

Hydrocarbons naturally form in fossil fuels. Automobile exhaust, industrial emission and refused incineration are the major anthropogenic sources. Hydrocarbons enter the marine environment via atmospheric deposition, urban runoff, dumping of untreated industrial waste, petroleum losses from vessels during transportation and accidental oil spills in the sea. On entering the marine environment hydrocarbons distribute in seawater, sediments and biota. Karachi is known as industrial hub of Pakistan, being an industrial city, it produce a great amount of pollutants which ultimately transported to the coastal areas by various means. Therefore, present study was designed to determine the extent, concentration and possible risk level of hydrocarbons to marine fauna as well as on human. Seawater, sediments and marine fauna samples were collected from different sampling stations of Karachi coastal areas include Defense Housing Authorities, Clifton, Oyster Island, entrance of Karachi Harbour, Manora and Sand Spit during 2003-2006. Gas Chromatograph equipped with Flame ionization detector and capillary column was used to analyze the hydrocarbons. Seawater samples were found containing PAHs (Σ16PAHs) 1.280 μg L-1 and 0.366 μg L-1 in 2003 and 2006, respectively. Concentration of Carcinogenic PAHs (Σ7PAHs) was found 2.402 μg L-1 and 0.008 μg L-1 in 2003 and 2006 respectively. Benzo (a) pyrene, the most carcinogenic PAH, was found at 0.641 μg L-1 in 2003 but not detected in 2006. Sediment samples collected from study areas in 2003 contain average PAHs (Σ16PAHs) concentrations of 11641 μg kg-1 while in 2006 it was 37.57μg kg-1. As per sediments Quality Guidelines, Threshold Effect Level/Probable Effect Level and Effect Range Low /Effect Range Median include with mean- Probable Effect Level-quotient and m- Effect Range Median-quotient maximum probability of adverse biological effects was found 85% in 2003 which was gradually reduced to 9% in 2006. In seven fish specie, Apogon cocciveus was found lowest and Escualosa Thoracatta was found highest contaminated specie with 1.51μg/g and 732μg/g of total PAHs, respectively. Among four shellfish specie, Portunus Sanguinolentis was found lowest and Acanthopagrus Latus was found highest contaminated with 9.70 μg/g and 561.2 μg/g of PAHs, respectively. Contrary to PAH, variable levels of aliphatic hydrocarbons were found which could not lead to some meaningful risk effects. Oil spill is found to be the basic root cause for abrupt change of hydrocarbons level and destruction of marine ecosystem in coastal areas of Karachi. Although pyrogenic sources sufficiently contributed with it, however, hydrocarbons contamination level in study areas reduced with the passage of time.
