In such away, only few areas of social sciences such as the Law, business among the social science are given extremely important and necessary whilst the bigger areas of the social sciences are ignored. It is therefore, this journal trying to address this educational inequity, inequality and imbalances which has been provided by the research findings of the social scientists; as social sciences focus on the study of human behaviour at different levels at individual, societal, national and International levels. In such a way, developed country realized the importance of social science, and utilise those social scientists at thinktanks and universities in order to have better understand the world and be better able to handle the defence and security challenges it faces every day. Social scientists are involved with solving many of the world’s biggest issues, such as violent crime, alternative energy, and cyber security based on the research findings of the social scientist that included the consequences and antecedence of those issues. It is clear that social science is of immense importance to societies around the world, however there still is much work to be done to increase knowledge about the human being and its relation to environment. So as , the volume of this journal is contributing innovative findings which could be utilised for future researches and device for policy making on these topics- Ethnic Identity, Ethnic Discrimination, National integration, Anxiety, Depression, Social Change, Organizational Commitment, Ethical Decision Making, Colonial Impact of Education Mission, Man-made Disasters, Anger- Hostility, Somatic Symptom, Recidivism in North East India, Personal Networks , Life Skills Education , Civil Service Training , Mapping the idea of ‘Mizo’ Zokaitluangi Editor-in-Chief CONTENTS TOPIC PAGE 1.

For the purpose of the study, somatic symptom sub-scale and anger- hostility sub-scale from the Symptom Questionnaire were administered. Psychometric adequacy and parametric statistic assumptions were checked for the selected population. Pearson correlation and One-Way ANOVA were applied. Results indicated significant relationship between the variables and significant effect of culture on these variables. Keywords: Somatic Symptoms, Anger-Hostility, Culture. __________________________________________________________________ Dr. C. Lalfakzuali, Department of Psychology, Mizoram University Introduction: Culture is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. Culture is a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of phenomena that are transmitted through social learning in human societies. The word is used in a general sense as the evolved ability to categorize and represent experiences with symbols and to act imaginatively and creatively and is often thought to be unique to humans, although some other species have demonstrated similar, though less much less complex, abilities for social learning. It is also used to denote the complex networks of practices and accumulated knowledge and ideas that are transmitted through social interaction and exist in specific human groups, or cultures. Different cultures have different ways of expressing illness and suffering, the prevalence and form of this disorder will vary across cultural demographics. For some other cultures, it is more acceptable to express physical pain rather than psychological. Thus, this symptom may be an expression of psychological pain that has been confined due to stigmatization. Presentations may also take on different culture “idioms”, depending on ways of expressing suffering in that culture. Across the world there seems to be a connection between somatic complains and depressive symptoms. In medicine and medical anthropology, a culture-bound syndrome, culture-specific syndrome or folk illness is a combination of psychiatric and somatic symptoms that are considered to be a recognizable disease on within a specific society or culture. Many psychiatric illnesses or symptoms are known to evolve in a socio-cultural context. Culture may not only affect the labelling of certain illnesses or symptoms but also affect people’s belief on the occurrence of a certain illness or symptom according to their reaction pattern via modulation of sensitivity to a particular stressor as well as susceptibility to a particular organ (Tseng, 2001). Culture is closely related to the clinical history or the precipitants of a certain health problem. Accordingly, understanding the influence of culture on psychiatric disorders is critical to the bio- psychosocial formulation and treatment planning for patients with such disorders. Somatic psychology consists of both a theory and a therapeutic approach that sees the mind and body as interdependent rather than separate. Somatic psychology is aimed at working with conscious as well as unconscious processes, and provides a means for addressing issues that may be unresolved. Somatic symptoms disorder is characterized by persistent somatic (bodily) symptoms that cause significant distress or disruption in daily life. Symptoms are generally unrelated to any serious medical condition, however, they maybe related at times. The individual’s thoughts, feelings and behaviours surroundings these symptoms are a major factors. Whether the somatic complaints are medically explained or not, it is important to remember that the individual’s suffering is real. Somatization is defined as the ‘conversion’ of psychological pressure and overwhelming emotions into more acceptable physical symptoms (Gupta, 2006). The patient’s need to somatize can be rechanneled into a discussion of psychological issues with a balanced somatopsychological orientation (Carlton, 2001). Somatic symptoms are a psychological defense against mental instability (Hurwitz, 2004). Mental

Breathtaking flora and fauna, heritage drawn from the ages and the presence of a large number of diverse groups makes this place a treasure grove. If culture represents the entire gamut of relationships which human beings share with themselves as well as with nature, the built environment, folk life and artistic activity, the north-east is a ‘cultural and biodiversity hotspot’, whose immense potential is beginning to be recognised. There is need for greater awareness and sensitisation here, especially among the young. In this respect, the National Knowledge Commission believes that the task of connecting with the north-east requires a multi-pronged approach, where socio-economic development must accompany multi-cultural understanding.

  • Beyond Labor History's Comfort Zone? Labor Regimes in Northeast
    Chapter 9 Beyond Labor History’s Comfort Zone? Labor Regimes in Northeast India, from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-First Century Willem van Schendel 1 Introduction What is global labor history about? The turn toward a world-historical under- standing of labor relations has upset the traditional toolbox of labor histori- ans. Conventional concepts turn out to be insufficient to grasp the dizzying array and transmutations of labor relations beyond the North Atlantic region and the industrial world. Attempts to force these historical complexities into a conceptual straitjacket based on methodological nationalism and Eurocentric schemas typically fail.1 A truly “global” labor history needs to feel its way toward new perspectives and concepts. In his Workers of the World (2008), Marcel van der Linden pro- vides us with an excellent account of the theoretical and methodological chal- lenges ahead. He makes it very clear that labor historians need to leave their comfort zone. The task at hand is not to retreat into a further tightening of the theoretical rigging: “we should resist the temptation of an ‘empirically empty Grand Theory’ (to borrow C. Wright Mills’s expression); instead, we need to de- rive more accurate typologies from careful empirical study of labor relations.”2 This requires us to place “all historical processes in a larger context, no matter how geographically ‘small’ these processes are.”3 This chapter seeks to contribute to a more globalized labor history by con- sidering such “small” labor processes in a mountainous region of Asia. My aim is to show how these processes challenge us to explore beyond the comfort zone of “labor history,” and perhaps even beyond that of “global labor history” * International Institute of Social History and University of Amsterdam.

  • Indian Tribal Culture: a Rediscovery of Cultural Values
    64 Indian Tribal Culture: A Rediscovery of Gospel Values T. JACOB THOMAS In this paper we shall attempt to highlight some aspects of tribal culture, focusing on some tribes of North and Northeast India and their social and community organization which are egalitarian, democratic and eco-conscious. In doing so, it is our contention, that we may be miraculously rediscovering some of the gospel values for the larger humanity. 1. Some preliminary remarks: The term 'tribe' has not been satisfactorily defined. In ordinary language the term is associated with people living in isolated surroundings from the rest of the population. The Shillong consulation of Tribals in 1962 defined tribe as "an indigenous, homogenous unit, speaking a common language, claiming a common ancestry living in a particular geographical area, backward in technology, pre-literate, loyally observing soCial and political customs based on kinship" (Religion and Society9:80) In International Circles, by the UNO and ILO, the tribe is repl~ced with the term "Indigenous people." But the Indian Government has not so far accorded the status of "indigenous people" to the Indian tribals. (Religion and Society 38: 18). Some Indian anthropologists and politicians fear that the term adivasi (indigenous or original people) would raise "claims of privilege among some people" that would harm "harmony of races and peoples" and thus endanger national integration. (G.S. Ghurye, p.29). They contemplate the "inevitable" or "desirable" disapperance of tribal identity within the m~jor Indian culture and ensue state policies towards that end. This constitutes the tribal pathos, "the adivasi vedana" of the contemporary period which finds violent expressions, the latest example of which is the Jharkhan<;l movement.
