We’ve come a long way in history in terms of giving women the rights and freedom that were mainly almost exclusive to men. There was a time when women were not allowed to vote and were seen mainly and solely as the supporters and nourishers of their families at home. Even though there are still some characteristic inequalities between men and women in today’s society such as uneven pay, uneven job opportunities, and even some lingering ill feeling towards working women, the rights of women have…

Chechnya, a small republic tucked away in the south of the Russian Federation, has been out of the international spotlight for the last several years. After the extreme violence experienced during the two Russo-Chechen wars in the 1990s and early 2000s, recent news of increased stability in the North Caucasus are quite welcome. Ethnic conflict in Chechnya goes back much longer than the start of the first Russo-Chechen war in 1994, and tensions in the region were not soothed when the second war…

Uranium is a very heavy metal, which can be used as an abundant source of concentrated energy. The problem is that why do we think nuclear power is good? And why not use wood or coal or something other that nuclear power. Science has identified this issue when they monitored how much resources we use and we have to understand how we won’t run out of resources.
