This research paper examines the six verses of Psalm 23 using a historical-literal hermeneutic to explain their theological meaning and to evaluate their relevance to family spirituality in a socio-cultural context that is increasingly secularised. The research problem is to identify the impact of the presentation of God as Shepherd by David on the domestic domain of ceremonial practice, relational processes, and spiritual resistance. Using both close textual analysis and a survey of available scholarship, the findings suggest that Psalm 23 serves as a model of divine provision, guidance, protection, and hope, thus strengthening spiritual identity and creating resilience. The study finds that the orientation of the life of the family around the person and ministry of God, as actualised in the person of Jesus Christ, is the inescapable foundation of the maintenance of authentic spirituality within modern society.

The war in the East of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has revealed that this country
needs weapons for its self-defense and development. Education can solve this problem if it
provides appropriate knowledge which can endow students with abilities to defend and
develop their country. Education is the basis of development of any country. The backbone of
education is curriculum. This one must be well-designed so as to endow students with skills to
defend and develop the country. This article aims at analyzing the DRC civil engineering
curriculum so as to see whether it can help the RDC to develop its armament. To reach this
objective, this article attempts to answer this question “do civil engineering curriculum
provide the Congolese students with appropriate knowledge for weapon manufacture for its
self-defense?”. After the analysis of some courses planned in the civil engineering curriculum,
the results indicate that the curriculum is well designed, but it lacks the government support.
As consequence, the country cannot manufacture its own weapons.

In the current multipolar global context prevailing nowadays at the world level and the imperative of national-states, especially those from the periphery and emerging economies, to seek development alternatives beyond the neoliberal model (Washington´s Consensus), encouraging social inclusion within their lagging economies by prioritizing growth, social inclusion, and sustainability. As shown by Mexico’s recent emphasis on rescuing its Macro South region, a long-time neglected geostrategic and geoeconomic region by neoliberal regimes, which emphasized growth but neglected people’s well-being and a sustainable environment for the sake of profit. Accordingly, this article aims at firstly analyze through pertinent indicators the prevailing asymmetry between Mexico´s Macronorth versus Macrosouth regions to assess their asymmetric development, and secondly, Mexico’s effort to revert such situation and rescuing the latter by encouraging its economic growth, social inclusion and sustainability through public funding infrastructure megaprojects such as the Mayan Train, the Tehuantepec Trans-Isthmic Corridor and the Dos Bocas Refinery, etc. already put into operation by Mexico.
