Pages: 57-59 One of the greatest achievements of Indian democracy is its free, unfettered and vibrant press, an accomplishment of direct relevance to the working of any democracy. Authoritarianism flourishes not only by stifling opposition, but also by systematically suppressing information. The survival and flowering of a democracy depends a great deal on the freedom, vigour and professionalism of the fourth estate. Liberalization has led to the media targeting readers as consumers rather than citizens. The biggest challenges being faced by the Indian Media today is of enforcing more rigorous professional standards, of responding to the need for more serious reporting on governance issues and of upholding its own freedom to function in the face of browbeating by the government of the day. Equally bad is the spectre of media publications pandering to their business and political interests in the absence of proper watchdog bodies for media and the recent trend of “paid news”. |

Pages: 83-85 The meaning of Emotional Intelligence continues to develop over the years. In 1997, Salovey and Mayer refined their definition as: “the ability to process emotional information, more specifically an ability to recognize the meanings of emotions and their relationships, as well as being able to reason and problem-solve on the basis of them. Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability, capacity, skill; or, in the case of the trait EI model, a self-perceived ability to identify, assess, and controls the emotions of oneself, of others and of group. Substantial disagreement exists regarding the definition of EI, with respect to both terminology and operationalizations. The definitions are so varied, and the field is growing so rapidly, that researchers are constantly re-evaluating even their own definitions of the construct. Currently, there are three main models of EI, i.e. Ability EI model, mixed models of EI (usually subsumed under trait EI) and Trait EI model. The Components of Emotional Intelligence described by various psychologists are Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, Motivation, Empathy and Social Skill. Emotional intelligence is made up of layers of emotional memory held within our mind and body. Our body and unconscious mind hold most of our 'intelligence'. The unconscious mind is an enormous storage place for learnt information about us and the world. We are conscious of some emotions and thoughts however there is a great deal of how we feel that is unconscious. That is why we often feel overwhelmed and do not know why and that is also why emotional intelligence is not as straight forward as it may seem.

Therefore changes in law bring out the positivity and brighter side of social change and shun the negativity that is still incorporated in our societies, fulfilling the social needs of the people. Law is centered in different social institutions, socio-economic networks, social processes etc. These social factors influence the procedure of law. Law at the same time can also change norms in various ways. For example, the legal abolition of untouchability in India, has been one of the many attempts to change a long standing social norm but unfortunately it has not yet succeeded due to the lack of social support by the masses. The term 'social change' talks about the changes that take place in human interactions and inter-relations. It also describes the different changes that take place in various social institutions, social processes, social organizations etc., including the alterations in the structure and functions of the society. |
