“…It also critically assesses the dominant historiographical view of the liberal order and the family which sees the latter largely as a sphere of economic relations. I also advance new theoretical departures and advocate the use of previously untapped sources such as familial correspondence, personal diaries, and legal records which will allow historians to explore the cultural directions of family life (Christie, 2012).…”

Article HistoryReceived: 17 July The paper focuses on globalization process and its impact on family structure and values. Globalization refers to an expedited process of uniformities, universalization and hybridization of materials and culture. It blends all types of socio-economic and cultural activities into a unique form. No society including a cultural structure can go forward without the touches of others in the interconnected and interdependent world. So, cultural conflict generates among all societal structures along with the diversity of global socio-cultural values. The study found some significant outcomes such as traditional extended families are breaking down into nuclear ones especially in the developing countries at recent times that were continued in the western societies for a long time. In addition, relations and value levels in the family environment are being worst leaving the marginal people (children and elderly persons) darkened. The paper aims to find out the bad impacts of globalization on family relations and behavioral values. Qualitative approach has been used herein to make the report fruitfully through the data collection process of content analysis that includes books, journal articles and media reports. Enjoyable material culture can also be taken forward along with bearing the family relations and values, wherein our roots and emotion generate to trigger us to sustainable living and that may be a social movement. Contribution/ Originality:The study is one of very few studies which have investigated family structure is rapidly changing through globalization -nuclear family gets popularity across the world breaking down the joint families-to some extents, family system is going to extinct. The paper"s primary contribution is finding out the decays of family values and behavior in which children and elderly members get vulnerability most as digital media plays a vital role towards family disharmony, break-up, divorce, abortion, and homosexuality.

As the Tsunami of Histories of Atlantic and Liberal Revolutions Wash up in Upper Canada: Worries from a Colonial Shore – Part Two

This article (begun in the previously published part) reviews the unusually large number of books about Upper Canada (1791–1841), the British colony that became the province of Ontario, published since 2010. Non‐national approaches, especially Atlantic world but borderlands and British imperial as well, are prevalent. In particular, Atlantic history's interest in the age of revolution has dovetailed with Ian McKay's call to adopt a liberal order framework. Yet many of these works struggle to incorporate Upper Canada in ways that do not cast it as an anomalous or anachronistic space defined by its awkward relationship to a master narrative or that do not re‐inscribe older national narratives by which Upper Canada masquerades as the nascent nation. At the same time, claims to have adopted a novel perspective have tended to divert attention from existing scholarship on closely related themes, especially work on the colony's legal history. Interest in Atlantic and liberal revolutions has brought renewed attention to Upper Canada but not always in helpful ways.

This article surveys the historiography of state formation in colonial Quebec, from the British Conquest of 1759/1760 to Canadian Confederation in 1867, focussing on law and justice. It is structured around three key themes: the Conquest as a point of rupture, with the imposition of a British colonial state and English law on top of a largely French‐origin society; the nature of the ancien‐régime state over the 80 years that followed; and the historiographical debate over the creation of a new liberal order in Canada and Quebec from the 1840s onwards. The article ends with a discussion of six factors, both local and transnational, which help account for legal change and state formation in Quebec in the period.
