Dysfunction in society and its amelioration

Abstract

This issue of the Journal for Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences features scholarly contributions that call to question the present ordering of our societies. We have sad cases of high school dropout rates among the San community in Namibia, underachievement by male learners as opposed to female learners who seem to thrive on the back of the affirmative action policies that has been put in place, adolescent becoming parents when they still qualify to be called children, politicians invoking God and divine retribution on their opponents and the media, that is supposed to shine a light on these inequities, not been able to put its house in order.
