Reasons for currency instability in countries

hall 216

Currency instability in countries is driven by several key factors. High inflation erodes purchasing power, while political instability and economic mismanagement reduce confidence in the economy, leading to currency devaluation. Trade imbalances and high external debt put pressure on the local currency, while market speculation and capital flight exacerbate instability. Additionally, insufficient foreign reserves and unexpected crises, such as natural disasters, further strain a country’s ability to maintain currency stability. These combined factors contribute to fluctuating exchange rates, inflation, and economic challenges.

An Ecocritical Approach to the Selected poems of Alice Oswald

Scholars usually discuss ecocriticism worldwide regarding the relationship between literature and the natural environment, as there once been a balanced connection between human and non-human inhabitants in the universe. But, it declined to hazardous extents due to technological advancements in human world. This thesis explores the ecocritical awareness given in Alice Oswald’s poems Dart, A Sleepwalk on the Severn and Memorial. Indirectly, the poems notify readers and every human that man must not be the center of everything in the environment. It also investigates negative or positive interaction between human and non-human agents in the natural environment in the selected three poems. The first chapter of this study deals with ecocriticism in general, discussing its waves and types. It later takes different stages, such as the main concepts and aspects of ecocriticism. The subsequent sections deal with ecocritical perspective seen in some stanzas of Oswald’s three selected poems. It was found that there is a negative relationship between human and nonhuman agents that results in an atrocious effect on the natural environment, yet this makes human beings terrified by environmental crisis which happened because of their own negative connection with non-human inhabitants and human inhabitants. The study also shows how the methods of ‘speaking’, ‘silence’ and ‘listening’ were used by the poet to beware her readers of the results of natural crisis such as pollution, deforestation, overpopulation, and ozone layer depletion that might happen to the current environment if they continue neglecting positive connection and pursue anthropocentricism with nonhuman agents and other living beings in general.
