Abstract

The present study is aimed at reviewing the phenomenon of hate crimes. The mental profile of perpetrators as well as the methodology of carrying out hate crimes is analysed and reviewed. Consistent patterns of troubled psyches of perpetrators are characterized by factors such as antisocial behavior as well as high levels of aggression. A huge deficit in cultural knowledge has been shown to lead to cultural bias and a higher incidence of hate crime-based violence. The study employs review of existing literature as its methodology. Results indicate a strong correlation between cultural ignorance, stereotypes and hate crimes. Childhood abuse and parenting troubles have also been shown to correlate strongly with psychological concerns in hate crime culprits. Interventions in the form of promotion of national values such as the right to free speech, as well as coming into direct contact with lesser-understood cultures greatly helps in reducing misconceptions and subsequently, in reducing hate crimes; as well as the course of future researches are appraised.

Abstract

The refugee migration is rightly attributed to the partition of India on 15 of August, 1947. The partition resulted in some 47.5 lakh (4.75 million) refugees migrating to India and of these, 4,95,391 descending on Delhi. During the 60 years of the post-Independence period, Delhi's trajectory has been heavily influenced by the refugees' significant role in transforming the social, economic and physical landscape of Delhi. The coming in of multiplexes, malls, coffee shops and proliferation of brand name outlets coupled with the gentrification of Karol Bagh and West Patel Nagar along with the steep rise in Local markets like South Extension and fancy developer enclaves, it was all brought about by the steep rise in the disposable income of the refugees who were out to reinvent.. If Delhi today is the Queen of retail, then the role of refugees in its exaltation to this enviable position can, by no stretch of imagination, be underplayed.

Abstract

Resilience is a key trait among entrepreneurs and is one of the most significant ones that sets successful entrepreneurs apart from the rest (Malgorzata, 2016). It is not a fixed capacity and can be actively built as well as reduced in the face of several setbacks and failures, depending upon individual personality characteristics (Konnikova, 2016). The aim of this study is to analyze the factors contributing to resilience in entrepreneurs and to review the resilient responses of entrepreneurs to stressful life events. The study employs review of existing literature as its methodology. Results corroborate with the hypothesis that resilience positively contributes towards the longevity and profitability of entrepreneurial ventures. Scope for further discussion and investigation could be centered around the importance of resilience in entrepreneurial education.
