The focus of this paper is gender inequality in the workplace of Afghanistan. At present, less than half of working age women is employed.

There are cultural, political, and socio-economic factors that contribute to the current conditions in the country’s labor force. The system of patriarchy is the primary cultural deterrent to the women’s successful participation in the workplace. The lack of policies that safeguard women’s rights in the workplace is the political limitation ...

After the Great Wars that shook the status quo in the 1900s up to the late 90s, many believed that peace would no longer be threatened by worldwide conflict.

With a group known as Al Qaeda taking responsibility over the crime, the US and its allies have declared “The War on Terror” against groups such as Al Qaeda across the globe. ...

The TMOQ documentary made quite an outstanding impact on me regarding the United States involvement in Afghanistan. Upon watching the documentary, I went further to do some research on whether the United States has any business continuing their involvement in Afghanistan since we have disseminated Osama Bin Laden and weakened Al-Qaida. I think that the continued stay in Afghanistan is an insult to nation building and to the integrity of Afghani people. In the article, Why the Military Needs to Leave Afghanistan, and Soon, Phil Sparrow makes a case against continued western military presence in Afghanistan. Phil Sparrow argues that ...

The experience of Josiah Harlan inspired Rudyard Kipling to write “the man who would be king”, in this story, Harlan is depicted as Daniel Dravot and in 1975 a film was based on the book. Harlan’s experience also inspired Ben Macintyre to write the book “the first American in Afghanistan” in 2004. The book only partly depicts Harlan’s experience and part of the story is fiction.

Ethics: War on Terrorism
In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Americans pondered the thought that the war on terrorism is unjust. Many Americans believe that our government’s reasons for fighting this war are for money, greed, and oil reserves. But truth be told and if Americans and the world at large could consider the interests and safety of the wider society against the terror groups, then there could be no question as to why America is so serious about the post 9/11 war on ...

Introduction
Social Judgment Theory (SJT) is a persuasive theory that was proposed by Muzafer sheriff, Carolyn sheriff and Carl Hovland. Epistemologically this theory states that there exists a single universal interpretation (of one truth) on how people judge received messages. Ontologically, the SJT theory is deterministic since individual behavior is predictable (Connolly et al. 2000). Axiologically, SJT is value-neutral since the theoretical propositions remain objective and free from biasness. The theory of SJT explains how individuals judge the messages get. The theory also predicts that people accept or reject particular attitudes and messages (Connolly et al. 2000). Weekley and Ployhart ( ...
