The concept of marriage generally refers to a life-long relationship between a male and a female. Globally, males and females get married, and their marriages are made public. One contemporary deviation from the original marriage concept is homosexuality, which has risen to some noticeable extent across the globe. This research paper analyses the practice of homosexual marriages in the Indian context as an invisible conflict which is kept successfully undercover. It also describes and explains various aspects of homosexuali ty, including the evolution, reasons, societal attitude and reactions towards such relations in India.

Sartre, in his many works, regards responsibility as the necessary consequence of inalienable human freedom. This fact also made him favours his notion of "either/or" between God'sexistence and human freedom strictly. For Sartre, "it is either Go dexists, or man is free and responsible." Jean-Paul Sartre took a very bold step to directly oppose the mainstream Western philosophy, which typically attempts to reconcile human responsibility with the existence of an all-powerful and all-knowing being. Moral responsibility links traditionally with God, as the ultimate guarantor of values and sanctions. Sartre repudiates the components of this tra ditional view and regards God as an impediment to human freedom and responsibility. The tension between human freedom and God is, therefore, deemed to be insoluble. Sartre thinks human responsibility makes sense only if there is no God; otherwise, divine foreknowledge and predestination will necessarily exclude alternative options and consequently, responsibility. The paper, therefore, did a critical analysis of the philosophical idea of freedom and responsibilit yin Jean-Paul Sartre. It analysed Sartre ’sidea that: when a man in existence defines what he is; man is both free to fashion his self and is accordingly, responsible for the outcome of his actions.

Sub-Saharan Africa becomes a victim of mineral resources, environmental issues arising from natural fossil fuel. Unfortunately, while other countries in Europe, America and Asia, positively, use these carbonated resources to build fledgeling economies, Nigeria underutilises her products from the same resources with an adverse effect on climate conditions. The researcher used discourse analysis to examine the Nigerian scenario with regards to the management of environmental wastes. The article argues that when the shift tilts to a decarbonised economy, there will be a reduction in climate change. Nigeria would then have more opportunity and responsibility to harness decarbonised resources into buil ding an efficient and fledging economy hitherto impossible with fossil driven fuel.
