Hence, war, post the World Wars, became increasingly about defense than offence. As the Cold War ended with the dissolution of the U.S.S.R., the U.S. foreign policy, that had for long been focused on containing communism, lost direction1. The new grand strategy that ...

Although criticizing religion is undoubtedly controversial according to many a believer, the concept of having a universal but supreme god prevents many from finding solutions to their problems (Vidal). On the religious side, it can be argued that having monotheistic religions has contributed to the existence of a just society, characterized by law and order. From a critical point, a monotheistic religion prevents the believers from exercising their freedom of worship or freedom of religion and hence, preventing them from visualizing the existence of any world other than the one depicted by their religion. As such, a monotheistic believer will always live in a world of ...

Do zombies represent the white collar criminals from the financial crisis? That is the question I was asking myself after reading Torie Bosch’s article “First, Eat All the Lawyers.” zombies highly populate our pop culture. From movies to novels to television our world has become seemingly overflowing with zombies. Surprisingly sometimes there are even more zombies than there are vampires. Bosch tries to persuade us that the zombie craze is pop culture’s device to help us deal with the economic crisis. If the economic crisis has brought us zombies in our entertainment, does that mean the zombies ...

Ningbo’s newly completed Central Business District (CBD) belies its status as one of China’s oldest cities. The austere downtown landscape is the equivalent of architecture’s white-washed wall: a place of erasure, forgetting, and dubious progress.

A craggy mountain of a building inspired by the region’s natural topographical features as well its unique crafts and architectural traditions, the Ningbo Museum is not simply an obligatory nod to ...

Views on Humanity

The effort of speaking definitively upon what humanity would resort to in the event of an apocalypse is akin to divining the true purpose behind life.

The question of what will befall humanity should the world as it is known ever end is one that offers many different answers. As ...

This line of thought and reasoning postulates that one has the choice to decide on whether he or she will eat healthy or junk food from the restaurants and the corporations at large. On the other hand, there is a school of thought that reasons that ...

As one would be aware that Capitalism is the form of an economic system that dominates the world these days. This system has evolved out of human’s natural trading process. However, as put by Robert Heilbroner, it is both beneficial and dysfunctional for the society. Here I would argue that it provides greater good for the society. This ability also implies whether it also expected to dominate the centuries ahead.
Before we discuss the role of capitalism in the next century, we must acknowledge that it is near impossible for any economist to predict any major economic ...

The Syrian Opposition

The Syrian revolution differs from the other Arab Spring revolutions in various ways, but what is the most curious is why the Syrian opposition is in such disorder and how it managed to be formed at all? The answers to these questions lie not in the current uprising but in the Syrian half-century history. Before the supremacy of the current Ba’ath Party, Syria was characterized by continues chain of coups and fighting between various political and religious groups, which were approaching their own internal and external goals. When Hafez al-Assad seized power during the 1970 Correction Revolution, his ...
