Humans are competitive by nature. This characteristic can be the catalyst for violence. Animals and humans alike vie for the best resources and territories. When any of these are threatened, we do not hesitate to fight. The only difference is that we have been seduced by society and religion.

When Russia, a member of the Allied Powers, refused to stop its…
In Howard Ramos’s article “It Was Always There? Looking for Identity in All the (Not) So Obvious Places,” Ramos explores identity and to what extent his own cultural identity is defined by himself as well as by others.
