In the past decade, Africa has witnessed a surge in social media usage, with platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp becoming essential tools for communication and organization. The widespread availability of smartphones and affordable internet access has empowered individuals and communities, enabling them to actively participate in political discussions and mobilize for social change. From the Arab Spring to the #EndSARS protests in Nigeria, social media has provided a platform for African citizens to voice their grievances, demand accountability from their governments, and challenge oppressive regimes. The contributions of social media in Africa's political moments are undeniable. It has facilitated the rapid spread of information, allowing citizens to bypass traditional media gatekeepers and share real-time updates on political events. This book aims to contribute to the existing body of literature on social media and political movements by focusing specifically on the African context. While much of the existing research has focused on Western countries and the Middle East, this book fills a critical gap by shedding light on the unique dynamics faced by African activists.

Document from the year 2023 in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, grade: 18, , language: English, abstract: This book aims to address this gap by delving into the epistemological dimensions of Christian social work. It seeks to understand how the integration of faith and knowledge influences social work theory, practice, and research within a Christian context.

It seeks to address the holistic needs of individuals, families, communities, and societies, guided by faith-based values and ethical frameworks.

Understanding how these dimensions intertwine is crucial in developing effective approaches to social work within a Christian context.Social work, as a profession, is rooted in the values of social justice, dignity, and the well-being of all individuals. The integration of faith into social work practice has a long history, with faith-based organizations and individuals playing significant roles in providing compassionate care and advocating for marginalized populations. However, the specific epistemological foundations, or ways of knowing, that underpin Christian social work have not been extensively explored.

Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 18, , language: English, abstract: Spirituality manifests itself in three main ways. Employees who practice individual spirituality may believe that their company is trustworthy and that they are connected to one another on the job.
