Abstract

The conducted research will be narrating about the bloody revolution, in terms of genocide that took place during the years of 1975-1979 in Cambodia, and was carried out by the Khmer Rouge regime in pursuit of the economic stability and self-reliability of the country. Planned as a peaceful revolution, it rapidly turned to be aggressive and bloody as soon as the Khmer Rouge regime gained power and was able to control and manipulate huge masses of people using fear, tortures, and death as their primary methods, which resulted in the extermination of up to two million people (21 to 24% ...

Abstract

Democratic Kampuchea was one of the most violent regimes to ever rule. During the course of their rule, they were responsible for the death of more than two million individuals; as a proportion of the nation’s size, this is an incredibly large number. The deaths were the result of a nearly fundamentalist adherence to the philosophies espoused in The Communist Manifesto, and were incredibly damaging to the nation in both the long term and the short term.
The years following the second world war were a tumultuous time for the world as a whole. The world knew that to have another ...

In 1516 Thomas More published Utopia which described a perfect society situated on an unknown island. This book has become an embodiment of the perfect society from these times to the present. This book was not only a beginning of a new age in evaluating a prototype of the society, but also a new stage in literature. This book is still the most provocative and has a lot of opponents. As a proving example, The Guardian (‘Utopias, past and present: why Thomas More remains astonishingly radical’, 2015) reveals that this book is not a favorite one in Buckingham Palace.

Islam in African History

Islam in African History

Introduction:
Islam came into Africa through two paths. One from the east and the other from the north. Islam crossed through vast empty spaces when coming from east and north. The Indian Ocean and the deserts of Sahara are often considered barriers. However, they turned out to be the best transmitters of religious influence.
If we talk about Islamic influence in Egypt, it got extended in three directions. The Islamic influence spread through the Red Sea to the eastern coastal areas, going through the Nile valley to the Sudan, and across the western ...

Financial institutions the world over have evolved depending on the economic policies of the government of the day as well as other economic imperatives. This has been accompanied by ideological and philosophical differences in banking policy.

Community environmental issues have long been caused by larger organizations taking advantage of communities, often small and downtrodden communities; however, today, many of those communities are fighting back against the larger corporations that are causing environmental havoc within their borders.
In the Koch Brothers EXPOSED documentary, the people of Crosset, Arkansas suggest that there is something causing cancer in their community. “It’s a crime,” the preacher of the community says, shaking his head; these people, he suggests, are ill and dying far before their time because the Koch brothers and their associated conglomerates are polluting the water in ...

How Ordinary Men Became Genocidal Killers in the Holocaust

Introduction
The Second World War was a watershed even in the history of the world. Over a period of six years, the War brought to the fore some of the worst excesses of mankind in a purgatory of hate and violence in the form of the Holocaust. The Final Solution, mass extermination of the Jews, left deep scars in the psyche of humanity.
While the contours of the Holocaust may have been the product of the skewed brains of Adolf Hitler, the sole blame of the entire saga of mass murder cannot be left at Hitler’s doorstep alone. Millions ...

What factors led the US to follow Hamilton's vision of a market based economy over Jefferson's vision of an agrarian based society?

Introduction

The status, roles and lives of women have been changing from pre history. At the begging, women were equivalent to men in all ways, except taking care of the households. This gave both of them the same value in the society. Since pre history was a period of hunting and gathering, the social distinction of wealth and property did not exist. Every member of the family contributed towards the survival of the community. For example, men went hunting for large animals while women collected fruits, nuts and roots making them rely on each other. The society also encouraged equality by ...

The endangered basking sharks

Richard & Charles (2000) define an endangered species as one that may become extinct if measures are not taken to avert the situation. Endangered species have a small population and are often affected by human or natural environmental changes leading to their demise and eventual extinction. Sharks as an endangered species have in the recent past elicited reactions from animal conservationists, who have staged demonstrations against the intrusion of human life activities that have led to the decline of the different species of sharks. Richard & Charles (2000) note that sharks reproduce in small numbers thus putting them in great ...

The Alba Madonna by Raphael Sanzio

Raphael Sanzio’s The Alba Madonna was painted in 1511 and depicts an image of Mary, the baby Jesus and John the Baptist (as a child) sat in a countryside scene. In the painting, John the Baptist is holding up a cross to Jesus who, in turn, grips it whilst all three figures assert their attention towards the cross. The painting appears to be making some kind of prophetic statement with regard to the future of Jesus Chris and the attention of the three figures emphasises this somewhat. The immediate reaction to the painting is that traditionally, Jesus and ...
