In the late 1970s, I came to Canada for higher studies in chemical engineering. I had the rare opportunity there of being taught by some of the professors whose former student included my own teacher – professor Nooruddin Ahmed who would later become the vice chancellor at BUET, Dhaka. In my short stay, I found the Canadian people very warmhearted and friendly.

Technological Changes and Human Social Order
Rapid social change results in a breakdown of common values and functional regulationin various domains of society. A consequence of this is manifest in mental illnesses, disorders,and even in aggravating forms of deviance such as suicide.(1) Social scientists recognize thatthe dissolution of one social order provides a basis for the growth of a new one.

A coalition of hard-right politicians, commentators, and influencers have empowered this hateful movement to inflict widespread violence against families fleeing fear.

On May 9, 1945, the Second World War ended with the defeat of Germany. It heralded the end of fascism. Nearly eighty years after that day, we are witnessing now a resurgence of fascism in the current policies and acts of the two super powers, the US and Russia (which still hold sway over states in their respective spheres of influence, even after the end of the Cold War).

Theoretical InsightA primal characteristic found in the theory of Human Ecology is that society itself has and is defined by a pathology. Such a view of society at the social level has existed within social qualitative inquiry and sociology from the late 1890’s. Such theories and insights formed the basis for ideas which give meaning to social deviance in the interactionist, control, and the social learning theory.
