Following this, the authors examine whether marijuana policy continues to feature morality- and values-based arguments.

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 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.
