food for a significant growth of world population especially in developing countries.

Moreover, approximately 795 million individuals on the planet do not have food to lead a healthy life. That is around one in nine individuals on earth. Asian people are the most hungry –two thirds of the total, while sub-Saharan Africa is the…

key challenges that Globalization brings about and is there any method to control the side effects of this process. Perhaps, one of the biggest drawbacks of Globalization, is that it leads to the unequal development of various nations; wherein the richer and developed nations benefit the most as they are instrumental in forming all the policies and the international bodies, while those countries that are underdeveloped/developing are struggling to benefit from these efforts which were designed…

Are taxes that fund public education just? The United Nations’ Declaration of Human Rights declares that education is a fundamental human right and everyone should have access to free, compulsory elementary education (United Nations). On one hand, taxes that fund public education seem just because they aim to provide a better educational system for the community. However, these taxes also seem unjust because taxation itself is a violation of the right to self-ownership. Emmanuel Levinas argues…

Hands with the Devil” is a true story about the brutal history of the Rwandan genocide. It is originally a book that was written by Romeo Dallaire; who is a Canadian humanitarian, and retired senator, that served as a force commander of UNAMIR (United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda).

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (The United Nations, 1948) outlines in article 25.1 that everyone is entitled to sufficient social and civil living standards. This encompasses the rights to food, clothing, shelter, access to healthcare and social security. In many privileged nations, copious amounts of people never give these rights a second thought. Most were born into an abundance of security. Unfortunately, many were not. The World Health Organization estimated in 2010 that over…

James Rosenau (1992) composed the first chapter of “Governance, Order, and Change in World Politics” in the aftermath of the Cold War.

He also stressed that an increased level of governance would help propel the world towards a positive direction. The world faced an uncertain future following the end of the Cold War. The dissolution of the…

The WTO currently has too many loopholes, allowing Japan to hunt for “research purposes” and Norway to hunt under an “objection” of the ban. I think that the panel should be a part of an environmental offshoot of the United Nations and that delegates that serve on the panel should be a working part of the UN. Science, interests, and morals should be reasonably discussed, weighted on the evidence presented and states must reformulate common jurisdiction. They must also make…
