Introduction:

Beauty pageants have been in the system from a very long time. Though the contests are heavily criticised by the feminists they still maintain to be one of the most watched and followed series.

The pageants are organised at several levels — regional, national, international and so on. The number of pageants are many and the audience is huge and diverse. It is stated that these beauty pageants constitute modernisation, values and principles, ...

This submission is confronted with two main questions. First, whether members of the Irish Republican Army, Hamas and various protest movements in the Arab world are terrorists or freedom fighters? Secondly, at what point does a political contest or method cross the ethical line between legitimate or illegitimate? The submission shall answer both questions consecutively in the ensuing discussion.

The IRA, Hamas and various protest movements in the Arab world may have nuances that easily qualify them as freedom fighters. However, by the nature of the aggression and attacks they engage in, the organizations and their members squarely fall within ...

INTRODUCTION

The United States and the then Soviet Socialist Republic, or USSR, had always had ideological differences underlining their relations. The US has always been the world’s champion of democratic ideals, while the USSR promoted the socialist ideology.

Introduction

Political contests should be peaceful processes which do not divide people along ethnic lines or worse still- cause violence. In parts of Africa this is not always the case. Rampant populism in Africa in political competition has led leaders to mobilize across ethnicities (Eifert, Miguel and Posner 494) even leading to post-election violence in countries like Kenya. There is a deeper perception of other factors surrounding ethnicity as a cause of violence such as historical economic injustices, faulty electoral system, voter numbers and political influence as well as political disagreements (Eifert, Miguel and Posner 495). This makes political victory to have ...

There has been a long standing debate in Canada about the need to bring about changes to immigration policy. The discussion hovers around the kind of immigrants to focus and their overall impact on the economy. Also, how to evenly spread the benefits of immigration across the country. After extensive review of Collacot (2003), “Canada’s Immigration Policy: The Need for Major Reform”, I am of the opinion that skilled immigrants should be given preference over other categories. Also, incentives should be created such that they chose to settle evenly across the country, and ghettoes be avoided ...

“Can machines think?” – Alan Turing, 1950

This is the one question humans have been asking for decades (even centuries) and it is a topic which has been widely explored until this very moment. This question was posed by Alan Turing in his essay way back in the 1950s. As we all know, one core function of computers nowadays is to enable a systematic automation of processes. These processes pertain to tasks that used to be performed by humans manually. However, computers (and machines) have always worked in a fashion where people command every single move it makes, and therefore the computing world is posed with the ...
