This study reviewed the expected role of the mass media in setting an agenda of public benefit with a view to achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of ensuring healthy lives and the promotion of well-being for all at all ages. Nigeria bears a high burden of sickle cell disease in the world. Five percent (5%) of the global population is carriers of the sickle cell trait and one out of every four Nigerian bears the sickle cell gene. Fifty to ninety percent (50% to 90%) of those born with the disease die before the age of five. Ethno-religious beliefs and ignorance are the two factors that are responsible for the misconceptions of the disease among Nigerians. There is the near-absence of the effort of the mass media in setting agenda for public discourse on the disease. There is the need to promote health education and awareness campaign that will bring about a modification in the attitudes that posses as risk factors.

Primary Socialization on the Formation of Child Behaviors in Kenya: A Systematic review
by Jeremiah Edwine Otieno
Early childhood socialization is particularly important in the formation of personality. Usually, through socialization, children learn to make important future choices in all spheres of life. This can be in terms of political, social, economic, and physical decision making. Recently, children have been reported to use inappropriate language on adults and their mates; fighting teachers, parents, and adults; burning schools; abusing drugs; engaging in premarital sex; even trafficking drugs; among other social vices. Moreover, children have been seen to value ethnic and religious pessimism. The pessimism has led to the retention of negative ethnicity leading to prejudice and stereotyping. Studies have pointed out poor parenting as the main cause for this disturbing trend. The study was guided by the social learning theory and cognitive development theory. The study adopted a simple analytical framework the search, appraisal, synthesis, and analysis (SALSA) to examine the main review types. Data were analyzed using discourse and content analysis.
