Christianity was not a popular religion than it is today. In fact, historians and theology scholars debate regarding the true nature of the Christian religion.

Through cultural diffusion2, the new religion gained a small but loyal group of followers such as the twelve apostles who would eventually travel the Roman Empire to preach His teachings and spread the awareness of the public to the Christian religion.

Having a big government does not in any way mean that the country has a better government. The main reasons why small governments are better than big governments is because in small governments, there is less corruption. Having big governments means having more departments. It is hard for the authority in charge of the departments to dispense their duty well, in terms of ebbing corruption, since they are hard to manage. However, small governments are easy to manage since they have fewer departments, hence transparency and accountability.

Is global climate caused by human activities?

Currently, the question on whether human activities cause global warming has sparked debates from environmental experts. The massive growth of the population has increased growth of consumption, and this poses threats to the global climate.

This article offers an insight into the study of neurolinguistics as a subject of neurology. It also offers a theory of language that is developmental in nature and an insight into the neural systems that lead to linguistic capabilities. Language develops in four stages, as suggested by early perceptual experience. These four phases take place in an independent and fixed sequence. A different ontogenetic function is arrived at in every phase of language. The functions in question have neural systems, proprietary in kind, that differs in their respective degree of specialization. Under evaluation is an analytical mechanism largely responsible for ...

“The Impact of Information Technology Investments on Downside Risk of the Firm: Alternative Measurement of the Business Value of IT”

This article was written by Samuel Oimt, Kevin Dow, Jeffrey Wong and Varun Grover. In the article they look into the effects of investing in information technology to companies that publicly announced their investment in the technology (Otim et al, 2012, p.159).

The east and the west are separated by things like ‘clash of civilizations’ and these differences can be attributed to some of the irreconcilable differences and natural clashes. What makes these clashes all the more ...

Introduction

There are a number of vernacular languages which have gradually developed in Europe over the years. The French language which is mainly used in France and also in other parts of Europe is one of the vernacular languages in Europe.

The Romans conquered modern France, which used to be the ancient Gaul from the residents who were Gaulish speakers, a language categorized to be a Celtic language. Consequently, the Latin ...
