North-South divide

Warsaw pact, The U.S. led NATO, and also a group of non-aligned states. Intermixed with these huge alliances were other smaller ones mainly between the two superpowers and other smaller states which they themselves have propped up and supported, North and South Korea both fall into this last category. It was in these smaller propped up states that the majority, if not all, of cold war conflicts flared up. Afghanistan, Vietnam, and Korea are all examples of smaller alliances dragging the two…

In the beginning of this semester, I remember what a nervous wreck I was and how much pressure was put on me. Attending my second semester at UNC Charlotte on academic probation was not my first intention whenever I moved to the city of Charlotte and made the new commitment of attending a four year university. Whenever I was told that I needed to attend a class two times a week so I wouldn’t be kicked out of school, I felt nothing but shame and frustration. I was certain whenever I mentioned to…

pressures? What does each film seem to prescribe as acceptable behaviors and outcomes for the girls? Both cultures are really different. Japanese people have a more defined culture than North Americans. The mixed of many other cultures and different political views have created a complex and not very well defined North American culture. Ghost World and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time are two very different movies. It’s true that both tell the story of a girl that is going through the…

seniors. After this summer ends, I will be attending Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. I will be moving to North Carolina for the duration of my Masters and Doctorate Degree (Lord willing), and I look forward to seeing what God has in store for my life. This will be a new life experience for me, as I have no family or relatives that currently reside in North Carolina, but I look forward to the opportunity that I will have to spread God’s Kingdom to a place…

The Ignored North Korean Genocide The genocide in North Korea has been happening for decades, evidence of these camps has been traced back to the end of the Korean War in the 1950’s. Ever since the first reports of these labor camps, the U.N has done little to nothing to stop them as well as the death happening inside of them and that is why the genocide in North Korea is being ignored by the rest of the world. The things happening in North Korea have not been labeled officially as “genocide”…

In 1492, an explorer by the name of Christopher Columbus landed on the Canary Islands off the coast of the North American continent, and ran into the indigenous people, the “Indians”, who lived there. His discoveries of this new continent, and the lust for natural resources such as gold that were spotted on the people that lived there led to an abundance of European conquistadors, Spanish for conquerors, coming to the Americas in order to pillage the land for its exquisite and valuable…

You said "Lose What?" Really? Sorry its to complicated for you to follow, lose against radical Islamic terrorism. You are not losing freedom to assemble or freedom of the press, the only thing you lose out of those two things are freedom to riot and call it an assembly. You ask "You think ANY religion is bad? How many monks do you see murdering others? What about jews? Christians? Do you hear about the radical Jehovah witnesses? No?" If you took the time to graduate or attain the…

Environmental justice is very ambiguous term as it denotes the need for not only environmental sustainability but also social liberation. Regrettably, not every citizen, politician or business owner is apprehensive about our wilting global environment. To this very day, there are scholars and politicians that contend that climate change and global warming is the rhetorical vehicle for which liberal propaganda can be transported. Consequently, these same leaders in their lofty positions deny that…

consequences of under educating women goes far beyond individual being, it also affects national wellbeing and development. In this paper, I will analyze the current state of women’s education in two regions; Sub Saharan Africa, and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. I will review the extent of the gender gap and its implications. My research will begin by assessing the reasons why there is such a huge disparity in educational attainment in developing countries. The reasons may…

for an extended period of time are the most effective forms of treatment. On the other hand, Sam Timimi and Nick Radcliffe, two UK authors, present their arguments for why ADHD is not a real disorder. These two authors analyze the Western culture, North America, and how it ties in with the big question, “Is ADHD a real disorder?”. ADHD was voted as a disorder in 1980 when the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual was being reviewed. Children as young as two are being treated with medicine that,…
