This abstract aims to explore the vital connection between marketing ethics and clients' satisfaction. Ethics in marketing refers to the moral principles and values that guide marketers in their decision-making processes and interactions with clients. One of the fundamental aspects of marketing ethics is the truthful and accurate representation of products or services. Misleading or deceptive marketing practices erode clients' trust and can lead to dissatisfaction. Additionally, marketers need to respect clients' privacy and handle their personal information with utmost care. Ethical data collection and usage practices not only protect clients' privacy rights but also contribute to their satisfaction. Moreover, corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a vital role in marketing ethics. Clients are increasingly concerned about the social and environmental impact of the organizations they engage with. Ethical marketing involves incorporating CSR initiatives into business strategies, addressing societal concerns, and demonstrating a commitment to sustainability. In conclusion, marketing ethics significantly influence clients' satisfaction by fostering trust, transparency, and fairness. Adhering to ethical principles in marketing ensures accurate product representation, respect for privacy, avoidance of manipulative tactics, and incorporation of CSR initiatives. Organizations that prioritize marketing ethics not only enhance clients' satisfaction but also establish long-term relationships, resulting in sustainable business growth.

This study is devoted primarily to the security priorities of the US towards South Asia in the post-Soviet decade of the 1990s. Indeed, the world witnessed the end of Cold war with the demise of Communist USSR. The United States, therefore, nourished more enthusiastically its inherent desire of a ‘New World Order’. For this purpose, South Asia again became a ‘land of desire’ for Washington to consolidate its preponderance in the strategically vital region of Asia. The research, therefore, delves into a decade long post-cold war security environment of South Asia by analyzing the US policies towards India and Pakistan. The study uses a qualitative methodology that includes a systematic review of existing literature and primary sources, including official documents and statements to identify the important factors that have influenced US strategic partnerships in South Asia and concludes that contemporary Indo-US strategic partnership has its roots since the end of cold war.

“Iblees Ki Majlis-e-Shura ” is a thought-provoking poem by Allama Iqbal that delves into the intersection between socio-economic-political systems and the sovereignty of Allah. Through an analysis of the poem, this paper explores Iqbal's perspective on the role of governance in promoting social justice and the importance of acknowledging the supremacy of Allah in shaping political systems. The poem presents a hypothetical scenario in which the devil, Iblees, convenes a council of advisors to discuss the best way to govern humanity. Iqbal uses this metaphor to critique the prevailing political systems of his time and argue for a system based on Islamic principles that prioritize justice and equality for all. Iqbal's poem highlights the need for leaders to be guided by a moral compass that reflects the values of Allah. He suggests that the pursuit of power and wealth at the expense of the poor and marginalized is antithetical to the sovereignty of Allah and will ultimately lead to societal collapse. Overall, this paper concludes that Iqbal's poem offers a compelling critique of contemporary socioeconomic political systems and provides a blueprint for a more just and equitable society based on the principles of Islamic governance.
《Iblees Ki Majlis-e-Shura》是阿拉玛·伊克巴尔的一首发人深省的诗,深入探讨了社会经济政治制度与安拉主权之间的交集。通过对这首诗的分析,本文探讨了伊克巴尔对治理在促进社会正义方面的作用的看法,以及在塑造政治制度时承认安拉至上的重要性。这首诗提出了一个假设的场景,在这个场景中,魔鬼伊布利斯召集了一个顾问委员会,讨论治理人类的最佳方式。伊克巴尔用这个比喻来批评他那个时代的主流政治制度,并主张建立一个基于伊斯兰原则的制度,优先考虑所有人的正义和平等。伊克巴尔的这首诗强调,领导人需要以反映安拉价值观的道德指南针为指导。他认为,以牺牲穷人和被边缘化的人的利益为代价追求权力和财富,与安拉的主权是对立的,最终将导致社会崩溃。总的来说,本文的结论是,伊克巴尔的诗对当代社会经济政治制度提出了令人信服的批评,并为基于伊斯兰治理原则的更公正和公平的社会提供了蓝图。

This novel is about women's objectification and identity through the concept of polyandry. This research highlights these types of problems related to women that are increasing in society day by day. This article aims to illustrate Polyandry and pain in women. They do not have the choice to live their life freely. They are like scapegoats in a patriarchal society. Polyandry is an ancient Greek word that means many men. It is first practiced in India. This article is wrapped with the viewpoints of some writers such as Tiwari, Goldstein, and Peter. This article presents a clear picture of Green City. Though it looks like a prosperous city yet it is proved a hell for women. In this regard, women chose an underground place to live named Panah. They deal with forty clients in order to win bread and butter. Men use different types of techniques to tempt women, such as whisky and champagne, to fulfill their purposes. Women in Panah provide them intimacy in the shame of lullaby, not sex. So, the study explains traumatic realities and also the relationship between agonies and physical distortion concerning the women characters, along with the concept of polyandry, which affects the life of women.

In recent years, mobile payments have increased around the world. However, limited studies have examined m-payment users' intentions and behaviors. Using the UTAUT framework, this study addresses this research gap by exploring the primary factors that influence users' behavior and intention toward mobile payments. An empirical cross-sectional survey was conducted in order to achieve the study's objectives. Three hundred and twenty-four samples from Pakistan were used to test the proposed conceptual model. The results indicate that performance expectation, social influence, effort expectation, and facilitating conditions are critical to predicting m-payment usage and behavior. There is also an association between Islamic religiosity and behavioral intentions.

William Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies" explores the role of language in shaping societal norms, values, and power structures. The language used by the characters reflects their respective ideologies and contributes to the development of their positions. Language also reveals power dynamics and social hierarchies within the group, with characters who speak Standard English portrayed as more intelligent and civilised. The use of language perpetuates the dominant ideology of the group, with Jack using aggressive language to exert control over others while Ralph employs more collaborative and inclusive language. This paper demonstrates how language is not merely a means of communication but a tool for shaping and reinforcing societal norms, values, and power structures. Using language as an ideological state apparatus plays a significant role in shaping the characters' ideological positions and the dynamics within the group.

Multicultural education is increasingly vital for equity in different classrooms. This study examines intercultural education's pros and cons from teachers' and students' perspectives. This study used easy sampling to choose 200 individuals from Lahore, Punjab educational institutions. Multicultural education promotes cultural awareness, empathy, and respect in pupils, which can improve diversity. Multicultural education improves critical thinking, brainstorming, and problem-solving in the classroom. Multicultural education enabled teachers and students to understand and appreciate diverse cultures, faiths, and languages and challenge their assumptions to see the world from different perspectives. Multicultural education also fosters camaraderie in varied classrooms. Multicultural education improved student connections and classroom inclusion. The study also found that teachers feel unprepared to teach in diverse classrooms and lack the resources to effectively integrate multicultural education. Students also say intercultural education overloaded information access. Some also view intercultural education as useless and uncomfortable since it discusses sensitive themes like culture and identity. This research reveals intercultural education's benefits and drawbacks in creating equality in heterogeneous classrooms. Further, instructors need more assistance and training to promote and execute multicultural education in classrooms and offer students with appropriate materials and advice. Despite these limitations, suggested promoting and emphasizing varied teaching approaches in classrooms.
