It gave us an impetus to re-examine our evidence and assumptions while also exposing aspects or facets of what we have missed or need to give more attention. It is as Giles Deleuze said, ‘There’s no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons’. The flow of events will keep flowing: providing us with a perennial source of the New while reminding us of the Old, baffle us sometimes and will always try to elude our understanding. It is with an acceptance of events that we must take stride in our endeavours. In an attempt of understanding our social phenomena must begin with both acceptance and wonder; at least that is how I have approached my studies. In this edition of Contemporary Social Scientist, we have compiled a variety of ‘Lines of Understanding’, which we hope will assist the reader in his/her understanding and help her/him make a better sense of the world. The media ecology and its powerful effect of narratives; how women empowerment through legislation has actually changed social consciousness; the rising mental issues among the youth; the Mizo social structure; what the youth looks for on the internet; and many more have been put under the lens in this edition. I would like to keep on record my appreciations to Prof. R.K. Mohanty, Head, and Department of Sociology for having walked the editorial journey together in getting both the 2018 issues of this journal printer ready. It is with goodwill and optimism that I present to you yet another edition of the Contemporary Social Scientist. Wishing all a meaningful new year 2019 in advance.
