a bite-size Snickers or a gold star?” “Better you forget the educational theorists, and concentrate upon the school’s disciplinary policy!” She responded, pragmatically. “With zero tolerance.” She added, helpfully (although, perhaps, if you know Kurtz, not necessarily). Apparently, I must “strike down”x, if not “with great vengeance and furious anger”x, then at least with a stern word and an hour in the Behaviour for Learning Group (BLG). “Lord, where have I found myself?” I mused. It is a…

The questions must be asked, did people make their assessments of guilt based on the information provided by the media? No one person is perfect and we all have flaws, however, when those flaws are shown by the media as a reason someone is guilty or innocent of a crime that truly short-changes our justice system and it confuses people who are charged with the responsibility of determining if the person was guilty of innocent of the crime.

The time of cruel exploitation and inhumane living conditions for the colonised supposedly ended with the beginning of postcolonialism that sought to settle the issues that had come with world leaders’ colonial greed.

Although classified by multiple set of measures, most recent literature has universally recognized different theories of poverty (Dalton et al., 2011; Anand and Lea, 2011; Sun & Sun, 2012; Pridemore, 2011; Alkire & Foster, 2011; Lustig, 2011; Walby et al., 2012; Ravallion, 2011; Azariadis, 2011; Spears, 2011; McBride Murry et al., 2011; Collins, 2011; Walker & Day, 2012).
