Apartheid is one of the most prominent examples in modern history of virulent tribalism overriding basic moral decency. Built on racial discrimination and segregation, apartheid developed a distorting effect on society by encouraging and promoting the worst of human behaviors. Violence and brutality defined apartheid over its 47 years of operation. Even with these effects and many others in full view of South African citizens and the world, the underbelly of apartheid, marked by deceit, paranoia…

not to fight each other in a directly military conflict, instead they threaten each other by wiping them out using nuclear and frequently participating in alternative wars by supporting related nations in many hot wars, for examples in places like Angola and Korean (Ross, 2012). The two countries strived for supporters to maintain and…

In the creation of the Transatlantic slave trade, there was a popular feeling from both sides over the untrustworthiness of their allies and/or the slaves traded due to the dress, language, manner, etc. that the other presented as well as their pigment of skin. Throughout the slave trade, there was a need for co-operation to maintain the trade, to keep up with the rising demand from European colonies that needed labor for plantations. The slave trade depended entirely upon the relationship…

On May 9, 1982, Ronald Regan, the fortieth president of the United States, gave a commencement speech to the graduating class from Eureka College. Eureka College is where Ronald Regan went to college. This is interesting because previous presidents like John F. Kennedy, Barak Obama, or Bill Clinton all went to ivy league colleges like Harvard or Yale. It is very inspiring that Regan was able to accomplish so much without a degree from a prestigious university. This commencement speech very…

The radiation is present from the origin of the universe, about 20 billion years ago, since intervened in the Big Bang: Big Bang. So that the radioactivity existed on our planet long before the appearance of life on it, every living organism contains traces of radioactive substances. But less than a century that mankind discovered this phenomenon by scientists like Henri Becquerel, Wilhelm Roentgen and Marie and Pierre Curie and others. In 1945 we can say that tragically began the "Nuclear Age"…

Same sex marriage Human beings fall in love with each other and get connected such that the loved ones become part of them. Some are attracted to people of the same sex while others are attracted to the opposite sex. It is this love that leads some to marriages and/or long time relationships. However, not everywhere in the world that same sex is allowed. This makes marriage to same sex difficult and sometimes impossible for people who fall in love but happen to live in a country where same sex…

Marcus Rediker’s book The Slave Ship: A Human History has challenged the common idea that the true horrors of slavery happened after slavers sold the enslaved to various countries. He exposed the horrors of the middle voyage, specifically the long trek across the Atlantic, that is normally skipped over. Reviewing this perilous passage has allowed readers to learn and develop a better understanding of the diversity of cultures and the people that intertwined during the slave trade. It also sheds…

prices (which are tied to oil-indexed long term contracts), the prices are not binding. China has pursued non-market concessions with India through bilateral agreements (McRae and Ruppel, 2011), and bypassed bidding processes with countries like Angola and Nigeria, who sign agreements without human rights or financial transparency requirements normally required by Western investors. (Mitchell, 2012) Absent any semblance of sound legal framework (let alone continuity of pricing practice), such…

The book EDUCATION AROUND THE WORLD; A Comparative Introduction written by Colin Brock and Nafsika Alexiadou is best described as a book with different subjects of thought represented with Venn diagrams which find their intersection at education. This book is proof that everything is founded on education but yet education is immensely affected by them. The authors wrote the book with the aim of introducing the field of Comparative and International Education to those beginning to study or take…

Health benefits Often, rural water supply projects are justified on the basis of assumed improvements in health, however, such results are difficult to attribute solely to public health interventions. Human behavior and its complex relationship with the environment are equally important in determining overall health status as availability of safe water (Churchill et al., 1987). Improvements in health outcomes are highly correlated with level of female education, income and literacy (Roudi-Fahimi…
