The song itself mirrors the visual presentation of the accompanying video through its use of electronically-altered screams and shouting. The song and its video reflect Michael Jackson’s persona through its relation to teenage and childish boredom where children are literally so bored that they scream and ...

The classical school of thought believed that employees of an organization would work maximally if provided with the optimal condition of the working environment. This school of thought ignored to a greater extent the notion of human rights and ...

Most children tend to be afraid of bodily harm, be it in the form of an accident or that of malice. As a child, my apprehension did not lie in that as my tormentors were smart.

Taunting jeers and the occasional rumors dominated most of my childhood years and as a result, I spent said years in solitude. With no friends, I spent many hours with my books, reading anything I lay my hands on and ...

Terrorism is detrimental to the society as it dislocates peace and leads to loss of innocent lives (Smit, 2005). It is a threat to national security, economic and social development.
