This problem is getting worse to the point that and estimate of 7.3 million hectares of forest are being cut down a year.

Concerning the study of peoplehood and their histories in the introduction of Imagined Communities, Benedict Anderson writes, “communities are to be distinguished, not by their falsity/genuineness, but by the style in which they are imagined,” (Anderson, 6). Thus, in offering an examination of the interplay between the sexual and racial contracts across many modern societies, Pateman considers the racial contract as one facet of the original social contract theory as proposed by Hobbes’…

Introduction This study investigates the effect of divorce and children’s mental health. In this research I mainly used secondary sources, for example books, scholarly journals and newspaper articles. Previous researchers have found that children are all different and some understand divorce and handle it better than others and age makes a difference on how a person handles it. While others argue that all kids are affected by divorce even if you don 't realize it, with some kids sheltering…

I used to believe that your first time in New York City was the perfect opportunity to be whomever you want, eat whatever you want, and see whatever you want. I imagined my first experiences in the city that never sleeps to be something Carrie Bradshaw would write about and Serena Van Der Woodsen would be proud of. I pictured myself hailing taxis by doing that cool whistling thing with my fingers and eating at restaurants with only the finest of cuisines. I dreamed about strutting down Madison…
