Personal blogs, independently-run web sites, and forums all allow people to share their stories. In modern times, people have seen the power platforms such as Twitter have, where citizens of authoritarian nations are able to reach out to the global community to inform them…

Government Regulation of Fast Food Last week I was sitting in my honors chemistry class when we were talking about chemical reactions. My teacher, Mr. Bullard, brought up a video and did not tell anyone what is was about; he likes to do that type of thing. As the video began to play, we realized where it was headed, it was an experiment about how the acid in our bodies break down food. The scientist put a real one hundred percent beef patty in a solution similar to our stomach acid and it broke…

My take on the differences that exist between developed and developing nations fundamentally remains the same as it had before the viewing of this series. Ultimately, these beliefs remain consistent and this series delivers a perspective that, though new to me, still serves to reinforce my basic take on this. That is, that disparities in development and stability of nations, is not contingent on any differences in intelligence among the respective populace of nations, but rather it came down to…

ranging from “very sustainable” to “very high alert” (Fund for Peace, 2017). In 2017, Nigeria scored 101.6, and was ranked the thirteenth least stable country out of the 178 counted. Harsh criticism in the past has suggested that the Fragile States Index might be “fatally flawed” (Evers, 2014). This was mainly motivated by the idea that the answer to global challenges and insecurities would lie in more state building. And this underlies the misleading belief of policymakers that “external…

Research from Huffcutt and Arthur in 1994 and subsequent research from Levashina, Hartwell Morgeson and Campion in 2014 have shown that structured interviews are better than unstructured interviews in predicting job applicant success (Swider, 2016). Even in a structured interview, interviewers can be unduly influenced by the unstructured section of the interview when the interviewer casually chats with the applicant (Swider, 2016). Swider’s research (2016) suggests that no part of the interview…

The advertisement that I selected is a very fresh ad that just came out after the Olympic games. It opens with a girl in her youthful years holding a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge singing the anthem of another country while gazing out into the vast open sea. She commences singing an anthem, soon afterward, the scene shifts and jumps over into another country with another person singing a different anthem. Each anthem comes with a new location which is different from the home of the anthem. At the…

The efforts of increasing fair trade practices and gaining the balance of similar multilateral trade rights and obligations for all nations in developed and developing countries become a prominent challenge (Khor 1999). The major change is observed in the trade policies of developing nations since 1980s…
