Understanding the Social Realities of our Time
Our present condition is seen by many as a deprivation of the potential growth of research culture since this pandemic placed many aspects of our lives in a halt. This seeming stagnation of human activity poses a threat to the rational endeavor of man. But this is proven wrong by the volumes of research published in different journals in our land, and our very own Social Sciences and Development Journal (PUP-SSDR) joined this attempt to negate this fear of stunted scholarship in research by bringing into publication its 2020 Issue. I am deeply honored to present to our readers the content of the SSDR Journal in its most recent issue. We stand true to our promise of offering timely and scholarly manuscripts and the ones included in this volume is a manifestation of hard work and dedication of our respective contributors. Allow me to present a synthesized version of their extensive research topics.Articles
