Classical Realism

Newton's three laws of motion consist of information about gravity, force and acceleration. The law’s where written by Newton in 1666. Each law explains a different theory about how gravity works. The first law talks about why objects stay in motion or rest unless an unbalanced force is acted upon that object. The next law explains how force equals acceleration. The third law talks about how if any action is created there is a equal and opposite reaction that appears. Each one of these laws…

Hall (1966) describes personal space as the “small protective sphere or bubble that an organism maintains between itself and others” (Hall 1996: p112). In the book ‘The Silent Language’, Hall proposed that while animals use their urine and physical posturing to mark their territory, humans do something similar using our personal space. The proxemics theory suggests that the distance between individuals help to control the amount of sensory information exchanged and thus, helping to control the…

It begins with a couple of pedal strokes. Round and Round the wheels turn and your off like a shot. Sounds straightforward? Traveling across rural scenery. I love it. Edinburgh should be called the Happy Trails city once you get away out of the city there are a million of places to run, walk, hike or bike. I go mountain biking every Monday night with the club.

Zimbardo (1970) expanded the concept by arguing that while being in crowds, people feel anonymous and therefore lack a feeling of responsibility. Subsequently, the individual…

Liberalism, throughout centuries, has spread and established its values and ideology on a global scale. However, whilst liberal democracy approached towards a process of political universalisation proposing itself as a role model, a countless number of contradictions and limitations emerged from this political system. The so-called “end of history,” eulogised by Francis Fukuyama and achieved by a victorious liberal democracy, has at the same time fostered scepticism and diffidence in the very…
