Inequalities encountered by South Asian language minorities in education as a result of having inadequate Chinese language skills under the Chinese administration have attracted intensive academia and public concern in Hong Kong. Lacking primary familial and linguistic habitus of Chinese, the language minorities relied heavily or even entirely on the secondary habitus, that is, schools as a mechanism for inculcation. However, the language minorities were located in a space of eliminated opportunities to mingle with their Chinese counterpart in the designated school. Moreover, factors that affected the familial and linguistic habitus inculcation were explored. This study also contributes to the literature of adoption of habitus as a research method to gain a deeper understanding of the familial and linguistic habitus of a small group of South Asian language minorities in Hong Kong.

Reading and learning about religious information is a habit that Saudis practice to increase their understanding of Islamic rules. It is common now for people to learn about religion from social media. Therefore, the study reports on a survey that was distributed to people in Saudi Arabia to investigate the use of social media technologies for religious information seeking. The objective is to determine if Saudis utilize social media to search for religious information and to understand their information-seeking behaviors when using such a resource. In addition, the study is an attempt to investigate how religious information on social media changes and influences people, and what obstacles and difficulties Saudis encounter when they use social media to obtain religious information.
