Development is part and parcel of the dearest gadgetry all humans hotly smoke after – be it individually oy collectively. But in our frenzy run for achieving such a dream, people more than often seem blurred with some materialistic sense, gravely paying much less attention to themselves as multi-facetted factors or genius-blessed agents. Building on a trans-disciplinary methodological plinth made up of tools from miscellaneous horizons, chiefly sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics and pragma-linguistics, the current study is meant to reveal the force of education, morality and self-confidence as developmental impetuses as are pinpointed by Ben Carson in You Have a Brain. The double-barrelled interest lurking in the study is to typically help African youth to get aware of their own in-built potentials of self-achievement so as to alleviate the depressing burden of joblessness and related sufferings, and to ignite in them as well the requisite courage to venture themselves on entrepreneurship.

This paper examines resistance in exile through the lens of diasporic consciousness in the works of Palestinian novelist Sahar Khalifeh. Drawing upon feminist and postcolonial frameworks, it explores how Khalifeh’s novels portray the struggles of Palestinians living under occupation and in diaspora, highlighting the complexities of identity, belonging, and cultural survival. Her narratives, particularly Wild Thorns (1976) and The Inheritance (2005), illustrate how Palestinians experience exile not only as physical displacement but also as an internal fragmentation of the self, marked by alienation and hybridity. Khalifeh’s female characters are shown to face dual oppressions of colonialism and patriarchy, yet they also embody resilience and agency through cultural, linguistic, and everyday forms of resistance. By situating Khalifeh’s writing within wider postcolonial discourse, this study argues that her work itself constitutes a form of cultural resistance that preserves memory and resists erasure. The analysis contributes to ongoing debates in diaspora and feminist postcolonial studies by identifying the intersections of gender, identity, and exile in Palestinian literature.

This thesis examines the theme of isolation in contemporary world by using the literary analysis of the book the Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. The paper explores how the transformation of Gregor Samsa and his alienation by Kafka are indicative of the overall human state of the post-modern era of modernity, industrialization, and the loss of human bonding. The study uses both existentialist as well as psychoanalytic theories in order to interpret how the social structures, expectations of the family, and financial pressures of capitalism lead to the decay in identity and belonging. The paper also relates the symbolic confinement of Gregor with the modern-day forms of isolation; psychological and social forms experienced in an ever-mechanized and individualistic world. The study, based on a close analysis of the text, demonstrates that the story by Kafka is a timeless reflection of the contemporary human conflict of seeking meaning, communicating, and acceptance in the world that is divided. Still, in the end, the thesis presents the idea that it is not just The Metamorphosis that sums up the isolation of its main character, but also criticizes the alienating nature of the modern world.
