MEANING OF LEARNING

Why Learning Experience Matters | Litmos Blog

Generally people think that learning through practice is to make someone better than what he/she was earlier . To think so is not complete appropriate . However, it cannot be denied that there is an improvement as a result of learning . But it can lead towards unwanted or undesired changes . A child who plays football, may also learn wrong technique . Indeed , learning has a detailed explanation . The process of learning begins from the birth and continues throughout life.

However, they reach approximately at the same point . There are following definitions of learning by some eminent psychologists.

  • According to Guilford, ”We may define the term very broadly in saying that learning is any change in behaviour resulting from behaviour.”
  • According to R.S. Woodworth and D.G. Marquis, ”Learning consists in doing something new provided, this something new to be retained by the individual and reappears in his later activities.’‘
  • According to G. Murphy , ‘‘From this point of view it would be legitimate to regard learning as modification both of behaviour and of the way of perceiving.”
  • According to Whitkar, ”Learning may be defined as the process by which behaviour originates or is altered through training or experience.”

CASE ANALYSIS

BHIM SINGH V. STATE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR

INTRODUCTION
An arrest made without reasonable suspicion and the individual arrested is concerned in a cognizable offence, can give rise to a claim
for damages for false or wrongful imprisonment. Considering the needs of the day where  illegal arrest is made without any rhyme or
reason and with total abuse of the power, Courts are not lagging behind in awarding a suitable compensation and exemplary cost to the
ultimate sufferer in such a scenario . In such situations, Courts are not supposed to remain silent spectators. For the wrongful arrest of
the group of persons under section 151of Criminal Procedure Code, the police had been directed to pay Rs.10000 as a compensation
to every individual that was arrested. Where it is shown that an arrested individual ,with mischievous and malicious intent , the Court
shall have the power to compensate the sufferer by granting suitable monetary compensation and exemplary cost. The Constitutional
safeguard for the protection of arrested persons is in general violated by police officials and sometimes, Magistrate may also neglect to
act in accordance with the law and such a situation arose in Bhim Singh vs. State.

FACTS OF THE CASE
Mr. Bhim Singh, an MLA of Jammu and Kashmir was arrested and was detained in police custody and was deliberately prevented
from attending sessions of the legislative assembly that were held on 11th September, 1985. He was arrested on an intervening night
between 9th and 10th September 1985 by the Quiz kunda police station’s officer , on an allegation that a case under section 153A of
Ranbir Penal Code has been registered against him for delivering an inflammatory speech at the public gathering held near parade
ground, Jammu on 8th September 1985. He was not produced before the Magistrate till 13th September. As his whereabouts were not
known, a writ of habeas corpus was filed in the supreme court by his wife. On inquiry of the Supreme Court, it was found that Mr.
Bhim Singh was illegally detained by the police, aided by collusion and by a casual attitude with the Magistrate, who ordered for
remand without production of the arrested person before him. The Court pointed out that the Magistrate acted without proper sense of
responsibility for personal liberty and the police arrested the imprisoned with malicious intent and it certainly was a gross violation of
the constitutional right of the accused person under article 21 and 22(2).

JUDGEMENT BY THE COURT
After hearing the arguments of both the parties and taking into consideration the facts of the case , the honorable Supreme court has
observed that the law enforcement officials acted in the most arbitrary way and ruled “if the non-public liberty of a member of
the legislature is to be treated within such fashion ,one can only think of what may happen to lesser mortals”. Moving forward ,the
apex court reminded the duties of “police officials who are , the custodians of law and order within any state should have the
best respect for private liberty of citizens and will not float the laws by stopping to such absurd acts of lawlessness. Custodians of law
and order must not become the predators of civil liberties. Their duty is to safeguard .” Chinnappa Reddy J. and Khalid J. followed the
choice of Supreme Court in Rudul Shah and Sebastian Hongray cases and expressed their view that , when someone involves us with

the complaint that he has been arrested with mischievous and malicious intentions ,where  his Constitutional and legal rights were
invaded, the malice and invasion might not be washed away by his being unfettered. The petitioner for such gross violation of the
fundamental rights granted to him by the constitution of our country ,was awarded monetary compensation by way of exemplary
costs. Within the cases of ‘ Rudul Shah v. State of Bihar and Anr.’ and within the case of ‘ Sebastian Hongray v. UOI, it has been
 noticed that just in case of such a violation of the basic rights provided by the Constitution, it is necessary to compensate the victim
by way of exemplary costs. The respondent, the State of Jammu and Kashmir was ordered to pay to the petitioner Rs.5000 within 2
months starting from the date of the judgment. The number was to be deposited with the Registrar of the Court which might then be
paid to the petitioner
ANALYSIS
The tort of false imprisonment is one of the most severe kinds of human rights violations. The Indian socio-legal system is based on
non-violence, mutual respect and human dignity of an individual. Even prisoners have human rights because, the prison torture is not
the last drug in the Justice Pharmacopoeia but a confession of failure to do justice to a man alive . In fact, the same is recognized by
Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. Article 20 with its sub-clauses re-enforces this and seeks to protect convicts from being held
down due to ex post facto laws (Art. 20 (a)), double jeopardy (Art. 20 (b)) and self-incrimination (Art. 20 (c)).
The right of a person to personal liberty, freedom, and life with dignity has been guaranteed and safe guarded by the Constitution
under Articles 20 and 21 and cannot be abrogated even during an emergency, and false imprisonment is incongruous of the same
situation. The fact that a convict is imprisoned and has to serve a sentence, doesn’t give the jail authorities any right to trouble or
torment him unnecessarily. It is a false notion that the prisoner subject to intolerable hardships is remediless. The term of
imprisonment is a decisive and vital factor that is to be considered in order to compute and award damages. And while awarding
damages for false imprisonment physical or mental injury has to be kept in mind. The mere fact that the person has been imprisoned
raises the claim of nominal or compensatory damages, if no other harm was caused to the plaintiff. If the person is unlawfully

confined or tormented by any police officer or government officer, then he/she or any person on his behalf can file for the writ of
habeas corpus. The writ ensures the liberty of the person who has been confined. The person who is about to be falsely arrested or
imprisoned can also use reasonable force in order to prevent false arrest. He can use this force for self-defense but has to make sure
that the force used is reasonable based on the circumstances.

CONCLUSION
Social and economic justice is the signature tune of the Indian Constitution. It guarantees and protects fundamental rights that cannot
be ordinarily derogated from. To protect these rights, the Constitution has provided for writ remedies enforceable by the High Courts
and the Supreme Court of India . Often these rights are violated by the state, though in some cases private parties may also be
involved. An important dimension of these remedies is the award of compensation as part of the relief that can be granted to the
affected person. This arises from the fact that not only does the state have a legal duty in protecting the rights guaranteed, but also a
social duty to compensate the affected individuals or parties when the state violates any of these rights. Through various decisions of
the Courts in India, it may be stated that this dream of human rights enthusiasts is now an obligation of the state. The rights have been
interpreted to imply a contract between the State and the citizens, a breach of which might be regressive monetarily.

A formalist analysis of Lana Del Rey’s song Summertime Sadness

Summertime Sadness from Lana Del Rey’s album Born to Die displays a rollercoaster of emotions the song writer might have gone through while writing the song. As the song begins we listen to a very high spirited singer, head over heels in love with her “summertime sadness”. They are separated by whatever reason that is not yet revealed to the auditors, but the singer craves for that one last touch of love, a kiss before she is swept away from her love and to reassure her beloved that he/she is the best. The buoyant singer is now dressed up in a red dress contrasting to the pale moon, which symbolises how she is trying to lift up her  spirits by dressing up, getting her hair done even while she is still surrounded by the pale moonlight, showing the sadness shes impersed in both internally and surrounding her externally. But even on this eerie night with a pale moon, she is trying to seek happiness and somehow relieve herself from the melancholy that’s surrounding her, she even takes off her heels, a simple act of pleasure for girls, yet she fails to achieve the state of complacency.

Right from the pre-chorus of the song, it’s slowly revealed how the singer is starting to feel low again, and that her rollercoaster of emotions is tipping low. She feels the unease slowly creeping into her, she feels it in the air, she feels even the telephone wires are being ominous, they are sizzling as if something bad is to happen to her; then we see her drowned in a new set of emotions where she feels strong. She believes that nothing can scare her anymore, as if things that she was terrified of had already happened to her. Even when she’s burnt with the feeling of loss, she is not ready to give up  nor is she complaining about her beloved, who has abandoned her. She is reassured that even after losing her loved one, living through that loss, even though the fires are fast burning around her, she is no longer scared, she will keep herself afloat. 

Throughout the song she sings about her summertime sadness. Contradicting the popular belief of having seasonal depression during winters, Lana has a summertime sadness, for her summer is the cruelest. It points to the possibility that she might have lost her beloved in a summer. It could also signify her getting reminded of the warmth of the summer time memories she created with her beloved, that is making her write these saddest lines and and through these summer days she is reliving her happy memories. The refrain of the lines

Kiss me hard before you

My summertime sadness 

I just wanted you to know 

That baby, your the best

Shows how the loss has scarred her deep. She is deeply affected, but never angry at her summertime sadness, for her he/she is still the best. She is still keen for a chance to see her summertime sadness again, to give a tight kiss one last time. Maybe she regrets a missed chance, maybe she craves to experience their last meeting again. 

From the second verse of the song, we get a glimpse of her summertime sadness. While she’s driving down at high speed, she feels an electric wave passing through her, she is not scared of her speed as she has her “baby by her heavenly side”. This is the first time it is revealed, her summertime sadness has passed on to the heavenly side. Which shows why she was never angry at her beloved, for leaving her. The last bridge of the song describes the feelings Lana has reserved for her beloved. She sings,

Think I’ll miss you forever

Like the stars miss the sun in the morning skies

Later’s better than never

Even if you’re gone I’m gonna drive, drive, drive

She is deeply mourning the death, she is driving her life forward only keeping in mind the destination where she could meet her beloved again.

While watching the accompanying video of the song, we get a clear image of her summertime sadness. The video is open ended and gives space for a lot more speculation. One of the conclusions that we can arrive at is the fact that her best friend/lover committed suicided, as we see a girl in white dress jumping off of a cliff. She is mourning the death and waits to pass on to the heavenly side and meet her again. She is in her red dress, driving down in about ‘99. Her suicidal tendencies or her anticipation for her death is clear from the countdown, “1..2..3..4..” resonating in the background. She wants to meet her bad baby on the heavenly side as fast as she could. This conclusion gains strength furthermore with the first words you hear when you listen to the song which says, “know that i love you forever, ok bye”. While correlating the lyrics with the music video, another possible explanation comes up. It can also be seen as a dead person’s message to her friend she’s leaving behind on the earthly side. It’s a message that reassures her summertime sadness, that she is happy and is not tense to take the leap. She is ready to take her own life. She is all dressed up, yet she takes her heels off, signifying how she is rectifying even the smallest discomfort she faces, she is no longer ready to suffer, she decides to move on to the painless world as she dawns her life with a countdown. She’s singing to her friend as she is leaving for the other world, the song signifies that last few moments of her life, as we see Lana’s happy memories playing on as if on a loop. 

It is an enigmatic song filled with the deep sense of loss for a loved one. The song could be about her personal journey of loss of a beloved or her a beautiful suicide note she is composing before she passes on to the other world.

Child Labour

The term “Child Labour” is often defined as the work which deprives children of their childhood and the right to education which is mentally and physically exhausting that impairs growth and personality. Not every work performed by a child comes under the act of child labour, for an instance doing a part-time job with schooling or working at a firm during vacation etc. do not fall in such category. Most often, child labour occurs when families face huge financial crises or uncertainty such as extreme poverty or sudden death of the only earner of the family.

Child labour leads to extreme mental and bodily harm that leads to staggering consequences such as slavery, economic or sexual exploitation. Extreme pressure of work suffocates their existence as a result of which minors lag from education and cuts off from school ultimately.

Child labour is equally fatal for boy and girl child but girls often face more hardship because the chances of girls being sexually harassed are quite frequent. Apart from it, managing work, household chores and school concurrently are next to impossible due to which giving up education seems the only option that drags girls towards poverty even more.

Several industries such as mining, brick industry, agriculture, garment industry, tobacco factory, bangle industries etc. employ children to work all day long at the minimum possible wage. Among forenamed industries, agriculture is the largest employer of child labour, worldwide. Working under such a situation puts health at a higher risk and more exposed to malnutrition.

Nearly half of the child labour records in Africa followed by Asia and the Pacific that contributes almost 62 million children.

Globally the incidence of child labour decreased from 25% to 10% between 1960 and 2003, according to the World Bank. Nonetheless, the total number of child labourers remains high as per UNICEF that is an estimated data of 168 million children aged 5–17 worldwide were involved in child labour in 2013. The increasing case of child labour is a serious issue that needs to be addressed at the earliest so as to safeguard every nation against poverty.

Whenever any job opportunity is provided by the employer there are many people who must have shown interest in it and filled up the forms but may be the positions are less than the number of applicants so interview is the next step in which all the selected candidates are called up for further information. They will be asked about their interest , why they are suitable for that position and many other questions . In the interview the employer can see the applicant and find out their response along with their personality. Suppose if there is any employer looking for a candidate who is having the calm personality but if there is no interview how will the employer can evaluate and choose the most appropriate candidate?

Interview is a conversation that takes place between the job applicant and the employer or may be the representative of an employer. This is done to find out whether the applicant is most capable of getting a job or not.

Mostly these interviews involves the face-to-face interactions because a person can lie but their body language cannot. It is the most common method used to evaluate the applicants in order to ensure that the best person is recruited. Interview allows the employer to get into more details about the applicant as they can know how the applicants are replying ,how they are sitting ,how confident they are and some psychologist are also present at the time of interview who can easily find out the personality of a person. So the big question arises if this is so difficult and all aspects are checked up by the employer then how to attend the interview to get hired? We will answer this question by mentioning the following points that you must take care while going for a interview.

IMPORTANT POINTS:

  • Be on time is the first thing that plays a very important role in creating the image in front of employer. Many people ignore this but if you want to have the image of a managed and a disciplined person always try to reach the interview location before 10 minutes of stated time.
  • Present yourself smart and dress properly it will not only make you look good but also provide you alot of confidence.
  • Have an eye contact with the employers when answering the questions it will remark you as a confident person but don’t look at them inappropriately otherwise it will be awkward.
  • Greet the employer but don’t try to be over friendly with them and dont dont off just stay honest and answer the questions.
  • Always have a knowledge about the working and history of the company for which you are going for an interview it will show that you have prepared well for it.
  • Body language must be clearly look out to avoid any stupid actions that can lead to your rejection. Don’t shake your legs and rubb your hands basically these small things will present you as a nervous person and no company want under confident people to work with.

Model organism in biology

A model organism is a species that has been widely studied, usually because it is easy to maintain and breed in a laboratory setting and has particular experimental advantages. Model organisms are non-human species that are used in the laboratory to help scientists understand biological processes. They are usually organisms that are easy to maintain and breed in a laboratory setting. For example,  they may have particularly robust embryos that are easily studied and manipulated in the lab, this is useful for scientists studying development, or they may occupy a pivotal position in the evolutionary tree, which is useful for scientists studying evolution. In researching human disease, model organisms allow for a better understanding of the disease process without the added risk of harming an actual human. The species chosen will usually meet a determined taxonomic equivalency to humans, to react to disease or its treatment in a way that resembles human physiology as needed. Although biological activity in a model organism does not ensure an effect in humans, many drugs, treatments and cures for human diseases are developed in part with the guidance of animal models.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae- Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a species of yeast. It is one of the most intensively studied eukaryotic model organisms in molecular and cell biology. It is the microorganism behind the most common type of fermentation. S. cerevisiae has developed as a model organism because it scores favourably on a number of these criteria. S. cerevisiae has been highly studied as a model organism to better understand ageing for more than five decades and has contributed to the identification of more mammalian genes affecting ageing than any other model organism. Some of the topics studied using yeast are calorie restriction, as well as in genes and cellular pathways involved in senescence
