This compilation opens with a focus on social validity, which refers to the extent changes in a target skill brought about by instruction actually make a difference in students’ lives. Following this, the authors examine whether marijuana policy continues to feature morality- and values-based arguments. Urbanization and related housing issues in Burkina Faso are assessed through an analysis of urban development, housing supply and demand, and financing systems. Additionally, information that facilitates a specific form of qualitative analysis is examined, as well as how fragmented modes of urban basic utilities governance is hampering the perceived benefits of urbanization across the global south. The authors investigate how women’s employment in Indonesia depends on the family structure, particularly how women’s employment differs depending on whether the woman lives in an extended family or in a nuclear family. The management of cemeteries within the urbanised areas of Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Jakarta is studied, examining the unconventional methods of conducting a burial. The penultimate chapter aims to demonstrate that, for most people who gamble, gambling is a fundamentally social activity. The closing study assesses the way in which religious beliefs may influence the choice of a contraception method, as all methods of conception control, except natural ones, are totally forbidden by most religions.
