Near East

were their body was on the brink of shutting down or had fully gone to the other side. These lucky few not only get to give life a second chance, but can have a glimpse of life from an alternative perspective. They get to perceive what is called a near death experience(NDE). These events seem not only to be profound in the their alternative realities or perception of the world…

main goal became helping her escape. Liz cannot help but to care for Reddington, but as she is running from the government, Liz’s anagnorisis finally hits. She knew that ever since she let Reddington into her life she would only know a world full of near death experiences, crime, and corruption. Aristotle said, “A man cannot become a hero until he can see the root of his own downfall.” Liz knows that Reddington is the root of her downfall, and multiple times throughout the show Liz sees that,…

Over 562,000 infrared measurements have been made of 24,024 different solar system objects, including 613 NEOs and 110 comets”. According to the data collected the NEOWISE has found more than triple the amount of near earth objects it found last in 2013. The more data collected, the more we release how close we cut it everyday, and how we can do nothing to stop it. (Asteroids Hitting Earth is a Serious Threat, Scientists Said). Asteroids are serious threats…

I have had a near death experience, but I have also heard many stories about near death. Death comes to anybody and everybody, no matter the time. When your death chance may come nobody knows when and where it will happen. Throughout the stories I have heard, nobody knows that it is coming until it's too late. Everybody has said throughout their experiences that after they almost died their priorities change. When I was in a car accident my priorities changed such as I used to only think…

While many people have claimed to go "somewhere beyond" and see strange things during near-death experiences, little can be done to prove these people right or wrong. It is nearly impossible to grasp the full concept of death and the unknown, however, evidence provided by those who've survived these close encounters generates a great deal of controversy regarding the possibility of the strange things that they have claimed to see through the change in the survivors perception of life and/or way…

In light of the recent turmoil that has engulfed the Middle East recently, one may think that a new Middle East is emerging, however, due to recent setbacks, one may think the opposite and that the “old” Middle East is making a comeback. Both might be right, on the one hand it can be said that the region is in the throes of a transitional period to a more democratic future, while on the other hand it can be seen that the new rulers installed after the Arab Spring appear to be backsliding into…

Whenever this assignment was assigned, I pondered the various religious services that are easily available to attend. Islam seemed to be one that struck my interest particularly because of the cultural and personal connection I have towards it, but then I thought I should experience a lesser known religion that I still have a cultural connection towards. I grew up in a divided household of Islam and Catholicism, thus having a very different background than most. I was raised with Muslim…

In 1953, unrest caused by consumer austerity measures had created rebellions in Czechoslovakia and East Germany, which were only able to be stopped after using military force. The 1956 revolution in Hungary resulted in a partial market system allowing for increases in private consumerism. In 1957, Poland was able to introduce a similar system after an…

unsustainable to the economy of the German Democratic Republic, the Soviet Union prompted their East German counterparts to tighten control over their borders. Joseph Stalin ordered very strict control over the border towards the GDR leadership, stating “The demarcation line between East and West Germany should be considered a border—and not just any border, but a dangerous one” . The border between the West and East Germany was locked down with a large barbed-wire fence with guard towards…

program evaluation examines the effectiveness of client integration into mainstream American society, which would be provided through the SALP (Safety, Assistance, Living, & Progress) agency located in San Jose, serving primarily families from the Middle East and South Asia facing domestic violence, emotional abuse, cultural alienation, or family conflict. SALP is an organization I have come up with for the intention to evaluate and examine existing programs and interventions available, then…
