The similarities between terrorism and maritime piracy are that the underlying environmental…

The feasibility studies conducted by the World Bank of a proposed irrigation project often gives much emphasis to physical engineering and technical aspects of the local areas, since irrigation projects are superficially considered to be a technical development. As a result, most of the important decisions and project planning are solely made by the technical experts, neglecting the socio-cultural context of the locale (Cernea 1991, p. 43).

Presence of carnivores helps to maintain the integrity of ecosystems throughout the world (Soulè and Terborgh, 1999). Many carnivores are capable of altering trophic structure and biodiversity through a process known as top-down control (Elmhagen and Rushton, 2007). Through this, carnivores are able to prevent the overabundance of herbivores. If uncontrolled, an explosion in herbivore population density would increase the grazing pressure that would ultimately threat the survival of the…

The Importance and Benefits of Happiness Studies Happiness is commonly considered as an ultimate goal of life because everybody wants to be happy (Abdel-Khalek, 2005; Frey & Stutzer, 2002; Veenhoven, 1994).

Brandon was born in Canada to two Ghanaian parents but spent a good portion of this life in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. This may have a lot to do with the way he responded to my question. Then I asked, “Would you consider yourself an American African” “Yes. I would consider myself an…
