Should Britain Scrap Trident? Mark McLaughlin Over the past 10 years, there has been much debate on the Trident Renewal programme. On 19th July 2016, Members of Parliament finally voted for its renewal by a majority of 355. Therefore, Trident will be renewed and the overall cost will be a staggering £205 billion. I strongly disagree with this decision. I am convinced that Britain would be better off without Trident; I strongly…

The Real Villains We would rather live with everyday distractions encountered throughout our day than worry about the vast complications our earth is experiencing. McKibben declares in “Global Warming’s Terrifying New Math” that we are losing the fight, quickly and badly; the main reason is our oblivion as a human species of the current environmental degradation our planet is experiencing. Often, the public is overwhelmed or confused by scientific language and data concerning the causes and…

The role that natural gas fracking will play in the United States' energy future is quickly evolving. By the process of Hydraulic fracturing obtaining natural oils and gas. This process has significant impact for the country’s economy. However, the process of hydraulic fracturing has a negative impact on the environment due to the waste water injection into the fracking wells.

It is a widely disputed topic that corporations have a role in society to be ethical and consumer aware of their actions and impact on the wider world. ‘Business Ethics’ can be defined as the critical, structured examination of how people and institutions should behave in the world of commerce’ (Macdonald, 2010). Pressure on organisations in recent years to be ethical and consumer aware has affected their overall constitutions, forcing them to include how they are going to deal with ethical…

The argument put forward in this paper is that the role of Civil Society has become extremely significant in International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law due to its contributions in developing and implementing their rules and principles. This development has revolutionized the International System as the ability of individuals to act on issues of concern for humanity is slowly becoming of increasing relevance on global platforms. Therefore, the study of International…

“Care to take a walk?” Charlie repeated. Autumn hesitated. “I’m not going to hurt you or anything,” he joked, hand still extended to her. Autumn slowly nodded in assent and he immediately jerked into a run, looking expectantly back at her as she began to follow. At first Autumn struggled to keep up, but then her instincts took over and her awkward stumbling turned into a graceful lope. Well, as graceful as a bear can be. Charlie effortlessly popped back into his squirrel form (a weird sight…

“10 years after their launch, social media have revolutionized the world.” How far do you agree with this statement? Your answer should refer to ONE of the following: political change, interpersonal relationships or marketing. Social media are now as influential as, and perhaps in some cases more than, conventional and traditional media (Mills, 2012, pp.162). Mills defined social media as Internet and web-based technology platforms designed to encourage social interaction. In recent years,…

looser global system is present. And in this global system states are the highest sovereign bodies and under international law they do not have to accept international agreements or join institutions they don’t want to partake in such as the UNEP, Greenpeace, etc. Thus the vagueness and complexity of the concept of terms like “global” and “environment” hinder the effectiveness of global…

statistic statement state that Sumatran orangutan’s are fewer than 50,000 unless we decide to execute something in the next 15 years (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil). Similarly, 7,000 orangutans will be out within 20 years if nothing improved (Greenpeace Update 8). In the end, the last statistic say within 20 years, 90% of orangutan habitat will be looted (Tunnicliffe and Webber 24). In reality 50,000 orangutans in the wilderness were killed by guns or knives all because of palm oil. Today,…
