old to a maximum age of 16 years old. In most states, inside the United States for example, usually have a minimum age of 7 years old as age of responsibility. England is another example of a country with a different minimum range of responsibility. In England, any juvenile under the age of 10 will not be held criminally liable.

The article is written by Susie O’Brien that was published on The Advertiser on 20 November 2010 arguing the rights for gay marriage, targeting the age group of teens and onwards. When you ask anyone, they will all tell you they are in favour of equal rights for homosexuals. Then you get to gay marriage, and that is when all the talk about equality stops.

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.

They must also make sure that the banning is not overused, carefully citing scientific resources to back up…

reader. While Singer’s writing is focused specifically on the 1971 Bengali Famine, the ideals proposed are applicable for modern situations as well. Singer begins by outlining the fact that, if willing, first-world nations and their citizens are more than capable of alleviating states of famine in the third-world, but have not provided assistance of a high enough quantity to do so.

Literacy of women is an important key to improving health, nutrition and education in the family and to empowering women to participate in decision making in society (Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, 1995).

Globalization seems to be a catch-all term that refers to any activity that involves more than one country. In fact, to define globalization simply, it can be seen as ‘complex connectivity’ and the expansion of social ties across the planet (Tomlinson 1999).
