In this paper I will attempt to examine the root causes of the Aral Sea disaster that implicate in ecological, societal, economic, and cultural environments throughout the time and space. This paper will challenge the traditional view of the Aral Sea disaster as of “natural”, but rather “crescive” and “constructed”. I will analyze the Aral sea disaster through the following lenses, first is political - harsh Soviet politics and transition to the market economy that had subsequently resulted in…

not always excluded and treated as secondary. For example, in Inhidduana, women were appointed as high priestesses, one of the most respected positions in society. They were confident and strong leaders. Women thrived in history. In the Eurasian Steppes, women were found in the nomadic burial sites with tools and even with weapons! In some instances, women’s social roles were higher than men. Women were warriors and their roles weren’t confined. No one limited their potential and society valued…

precipitated much of European politics. Nonetheless the Ottoman threat was cataclysmic too, perhaps more so. Not only was some of this money used in the Habsburg-Ottoman wars, but the Ottoman threat had quashed a previous threat to Europe’s periphery: the steppe hordes. The Mongol Empire had previously shown the danger of this, but because of the effectiveness of the Ottoman rule, these peoples never again threatened Europe. So far it appears as if they are both equally important. However this…

Globalization.html modernity, without leaving time for the crisis of the medieval model. No notice is taken that the scientific revolution -- discussed by Kuhn -- departs from a modernity that has already begun, the result of a "modern paradigm." 19 It is for that reason that in the fifteenth century (if we do not consider the later European inventions) Europe does not have any superiority over China. Needham allows himself to be bewitched by this mirage, when he writes: "The fact is that the…

Explain the apparent military decline of East Asia after 1700 East Asia had been regarded as one of the most military advanced region of the globe since the early firearms were invented by the Chinese before the Europeans perfected them. Indeed, the earliest known formula for gunpowder is found in a Chinese work dating from the 800s. This allowed the Chinese to apply it to warfare through producing a variety of gunpowder weapons among them rockets, bombs, mines, and rockets before inventing the…

developed language that the aliens speak. On the other hand, in A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin has created only a few words or phrases of the native languages for example the nine Low Valyrian dialects or Dothraki, the language of the steppe nomads of Essos. Here they are used mostly as plot devices that add a dash of colour to the plot or as plot devices to be revealed at a later point in the story. Therefore in LoTR, language serves a larger purpose. It acts as a springboard into…

The Dichotomy of Alienation and Resurrection Throughout many of his novels, Dostoevsky explores themes of isolation and alienation from society and how love both from God and from humanity is vital to a meaningful existence. This idea is evident throughout his novel House of the Dead, and most poignant in the character of Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment. Ultimately, alienation and isolation from society lead to unhappiness and dissatisfaction, whereas being accepted, loved, and recognized…
