A threshold of 100 can be more divisive. In keeping the “troubles” in Northern Ireland from becoming a war, for example, such a threshold fits the views of the British public—but not that of Northern Irish paramilitaries.

Trinity Goldsmith The Ignorance Towards Africa The central idea of Africa is often a misconception. Some perceptions of Africa are true, but only in certain countries are these notions accurate; Africa is typically thought of as one united front, instead of having a diverse group of countries with a variety of citizens and beliefs.

From countries like Mali and Burkina Faso, thousands of children are trafficked to the Ivory Coast. A large amount of children are taken out of school with or without consent and forced to work. Ironically, many of these workers and farmers have never even tasted chocolate…

Wishing you all a very happy birthday! especially, the ones who are born in the month of October. Now you would be thinking that why I am being so biased on wishing happy birthday specifically to the individuals who are born in the month of October.
