Introduction
Terrorism being a highly volatile phenomenon with constantly changing facets, has been a challenge to scholars to define.

Ningbo’s newly completed Central Business District (CBD) belies its status as one of China’s oldest cities.

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 ...

Christopher Columbus and "Globalization" in the early modern world
Globalization is by no means a phenomenon invented in the twentieth century, particularly with reference to cultural exchanges. Globalization is much more than a commodities exchange across national borders. It is a phenomenon which denotes the flow and bartering of knowledge, commodities, values, specimens and people on a global scale. It is fast replacing the societal identity of nationality with globality. Most historians attach the origin of globalization to the year 1492, when ‘Columbus’ stumbled upon America in his search for trade route to Asia. But even as early as thousand years before ...

In modern times, half of all marriages end in divorce. Many of these reasons include infidelity, irreconcilable differences, and others; this can affect the architecture of the family greatly.

There are many different instances in which these influences can take shape in a divorced family; the way society views divorce can often inform whether or not it occurs. Many couples will either refuse to divorce despite its apparent necessity, or even go through frivolous divorces due ...

The idea behind Foucault's theory of power structures is that power is what makes society what it is. Power exists everywhere and comes from man's concept of what his or her definition of everywhere is. Given that power is derived from everywhere, it is not a structure, but rather an overarching influence that exists in society. The idea of power according to Foucault is intertwined with the subject of knowledge. Using the term, power/knowledge, Foucault identifies that the concept of power is accepted in society through the idea that within knowledge lies truth.
Truth, to Foucault is what induces ...

In 1798, Thomas Malthus predicted that humans would soon run out of food to eat. He thought that the limits on the world’s arable land meant that food supply would simply not rise as quickly as population would. Even in 1798, Malthus felt that the population was at the point of growing faster than food supply, so he did not see this as a problem that would show up millennia later; instead, he saw it as an imminent development. Of course, we are still here, more than 200 years later, and the plenty available for sale in supermarkets throughout ...

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) is the great German thinker, a classical scholar, composer, poet, a creator of the original philosophical doctrine, which has emphasized non-academic nature and therefore is widespread far beyond the scientific and philosophical communities.

Introduction:

Mary Conde’s book ‘I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem’ uses the Salem Witchcraft Trials as a background for the political implications of a post slavery scenario where the political implications are great. There are also some ironies which can be observed since the Puritans who ended up as abolitionists entertained the worst excesses as regards cleansing and purifying the nation of witches and Conde plays on that notion with subtle irony. The sense of catastrophe is also imminently felt especially in the analogous dynamics of the novel. Tituba is imbued with fantastic and wild notions of witchcraft which also impart ...

Bikinis, full lips, thin waists, gyrations – the black woman in a rap video is usually one of many, surrounding the male rapper in question with a stable of women he implicitly has sexual command over.

Due to the exclusive and alienating nature of a substantial portion of these images, representation has turned into misrepresentation, as many people use these portrayals to characterize the entirety of African-American femaleness in an incorrect and unflattering way.

Physical appearance has long been linked to happiness - as social creatures, we communicate to each other nonverbally, and so we often give off the impression of happiness if we present ourselves in a way that is visually appealing to others. Likewise, that feeling is often reciprocated by these others, allowing us to feel good about ourselves because we look good. You can tell a lot about a person merely by what their appearance is telling you; these ‘channels’ of the body are what express the mind’s emotional state, and help to judge someone’s personality, and whether something is affecting ...

The Industrial Revolution changed life as we know it forever. As Robert Marks points out in “The Origins of the Modern World: A Global and Ecological Narrative from the Fifteenth to the Twenty-First Century”, the Industrial Revolution replaced what he terms our “biological” society, that is, one that was dependent on energy produced by humans themselves, with one that was able to function in an artificial context, using tools like coal, steel, and other artificial sources of energy and production. But can it be considered an international phenomenon?
Adam Smith provides a concise overview on the nature of the ...

Is peer pressure real or just a way for people to exonerate themselves from blame for their behavior? A popular saying states “show ...

The issue of reforms was started in the 1800 but started being debated upon in the 1930s. The Great Depression was the most contributing factor that lead to the bringing up of this issue.

Learning can be defined as the process of acquiring or adding value to the existing knowledge, skills and personal values.

One of the generally established positions considering the scientific revolution of the XVII century is that the European science (primarily related to the classical natural sciences) originated from it. It is interesting that it emerged at once in the interrelation of all components: theoretical knowledge, its rationale and mathematical description, experimental testing, social structure with network of scientific communication and public application. Among the phrases that can best show the way of thinking that started acting at that time, there is one William Gilbert wrote in his Preface: “LIFE is a Chemical Process: In that of every Individual there has ...
