The world we live in today is the result of the human’s activity. The changes we face – are the consequences of our actions. The well – known saying – “the planet Earth is our home” – describes the truly situation as it is now and has always been before us.

1. The historical background of the book of Hebrews An understanding of the book of Hebrews is better achieved when one knowledgeable about its origin and the historical setting from which it was written.

Other than the uncertainty of its authorship, scholars were also uncertain about the intended recipient of the letter, though a closer examination would show that the author has a very close relationship with the recipient and shared ...

Millennium Park is a 24.5-acre park that has several venues for performance, art, architecture, sculpture, and landscape architecture. It is located centrally in Chicago’s central business district and the lakefront. The Millennium Park emerged from a dilapidated ground-level parking space and rail yard into perhaps what may be regarded as the world’s biggest “green roof,” spanning two multi-level parking spaces with a total of over 4,000 cars and one commuter rail line. In Millennium Park, space is created in various ways. For example, there is the illusion of space created through structures and activities that allow ...

Climate change at global capacity is a fact and scientific studies conducted to determine the causes have all implicated greenhouse gasses, including carbon dioxide, for causing the same. The emergence of industrial-based economies in most parts of the world is central to the problems highlighted thus far. In Collapse Informatics and Practice, Tomlinson et al. provide a summation of the situation by stating that “the world is very likely to reach a tipping point by 2040 [because of] global warming/climate change” unless carbon emissions drop (3). Thus, as commercial enterprises continue to expand, the world is fast approaching its “ ...

Introduction

Human sexuality is a vital part of existence, carrying the reproductive function but also the interaction and the need for intimacy and love. The mere existence of human species is due to sexuality, which is one of the basic needs for living. From the most ancient times, or from the biblical beginning of Adam and Eve, sexuality is entrenched in human behavior as a necessary condition for spreading the human species, but also as a capacity for sharing loving feelings towards another human being. Although the effects of sexuality are visible in the public spheres through relationships and/or children ...

People have gotten used to that work is often characterized by time intervals of 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week of 22 working days per month. For the most part, it is the number of hours worked, rather than the fulfilled objectives that define the size of the salary, and the amount of office hours spent at work positively characterizes the employee in the eyes of the employer: he is always at the workplace – means reliable, stay late to work – purposeful and dedicated to the cause. This approach causes more confusion and dissatisfaction among young professionals in ...

How do you feel about continued use of tourism as a development tool, considering the impact of travel to increasingly remote destinations, as well as the impacts on local, often fragile, environments and cultures? I feel that it really is a good thing, as long as it is properly and thoroughly managed. It is just like anything with tourism, something like this needs proper planning and all impacts must be taken into consideration if it is to be successful. If they are not, then they run the risk of damaging the environment and the industry as a whole. This ...

Poverty is a condition that affects too many people around the globe. Those who live in poverty are often disenfranchised and unable to obtain the opportunities to remove themselves from this unfortunate condition. In a world of abundance, where the rich are outrageously wealthy, it makes no sense to see so many go without basic necessities. A common saying, “knowledge is power” is something that still holds true in the world today. Those who understand the world tend to do better in maneuvering around the challenges that exist in the world by seizing and creating opportunities for themselves. One ...

Introduction

The existing legal frameworks require a work safety and health plan for any construction project in the country.

A written safety plan is a blueprint for ensuring the safety of the workers. In this essay, the article develops a safety plan that can be implemented by a safety manager at ...

The role of education is very crucial for the development of the society and welfare. Education plays an important role in enlightening and creating awareness and removing dogmatism and backwardness among members of the society (Apple 27). From early childhood education through primary education to advanced learning, humans undergo a process of learning to hone their critical thinking, spur creativity and build a society of knowledgeable men and women (Golub 10). As a major in education, I am concerned about the roles of education in the society, and in particular, how the socio-economic development of a community can be ...

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has remained to be an unfinished agenda in the world today as halfway through the intended period when they were to be achieved not so much has been gained. In Thailand, the people are still battling HIV and Aids, and it remains to be a pandemic that is yet to be contained. Studies indicate that of the total population of 60 million people in Thailand, around 440, 000 were living with HIV and Aids by the year 2013 (Fordham, 2015). Further, about 18,000 people had succumbed to the disease in that year ...

ABSTRAC Developing countries are those countries which have not yet attained economic stability. Most of them thrive on debts and donations from other nations. They rely a lot on what others have to offer them in addition to the little they can produce using their natural resources. Such countries export primary products. They are yet to industrialize so that they can process their products and sell them to other nations as finished products. Developed countries take advantage of the developing countries. They buy their raw products at lower prices, process them, and then sell them back to these nations ...

In the formation of art of the peoples who lived in the Mediterranean basin, a huge role was played by the so-called Aegean, or Mycenaean art. The Aegean culture was formed and developed in III—II millennia BC and was created by tribes that lived on the island of Crete, the Peloponnese, the West coast of Asia Minor (Boardman 21). In 1871, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann excavated Hissarluka on the hill "pre-Homer" cities that can be dated to the III Millennium BC and which belong to the prehistory of the Aegean culture.

The Gender and Race Inequality

Gender and race equality is a foundation stone of any democratic society and state that strive to social justice and respect for human rights. Historically women have been fighting for equality and its implementation. Guarantees to ensure equal opportunities for women in public life and in other areas at the legal level are recognized in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women [Un.org]. However, the world still faces overt and covert discrimination of the female half of the population. And this is an international problem.

Summaries

Even though the two authors wrote the articles in two different centuries on millennia, there is a stark similarity in the concepts and themes expressed. The two authors address concepts of globalization, even though it is from different perspectives. Held (2009, p.535) argues that “the present trajectory is one where countries are entwined tightly through the globalization” (Held, 2009, p.535) Hell also finds that “even in the context of a new world political order, the needs of individual states cannot and should not be undermined by multilateral orders and globalization” (Hell, 2009, p.535). Hell holds that “in the delivery ...

In the year 2000, the United Nations developed the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The aim was to free people globally from the hopeless and dehumanizing state of intense poverty levels.

The millennium goals translate into eight international development goals formed following the millennium summit. The first goal was to eradicate hunger and extreme poverty. The second goal was to attain primary education for primary aged children. Thirdly, enhance women empowerment and gender equal. Fourthly, help decline rates of child mortality. The fifth ...

Andrew Moravcsik versus Thomas Diez

The construction and conceptualization of European integration are aspects that have been a subject of continuous scholarly debates. Scholars have different approaches to this integration, and as seen in the two articles by Diez and Moravcsik, disagreements are a frequent occurrence. The genesis of the disagreements between the two scholars is the book written by Moravcsik, titled, “the choice of Europe.” Diez comes out strongly criticizing many of the arguments made in this text. According to Diez, Moravcsik is fundamentally wrong with pointing out what is important in the discussion about European integration. He notes that the integration needs ...

It has achieved success through the use of a multi-pronged approach – strategically building partnerships with private and public sector, governments, societies and communities, volunteers, funding organizations and investments in technology and operations processes. Though it has played a key role in the success of the UN Millennial Development Goals, there are many challenges ...

Mesopotamia is one of the most important nexus of the entire world civilization and ancient urban culture. Sumer were the pioneers towards the establishment of this culture, with their achievement subsequently absorbed and developed by the Babylonians and Assyrians (Schneider, 2011). The origins of the Mesopotamian culture can be traced back to the 4th millennium B.C., which witnessed the emergence of the first cities. Throughout the long period of its existence, the Mesopotamian culture was characterized by inner unity, the succession of traditions, and the inseparable connection of its organic elements.

Piye was an ancient pharaoh to the Kushite Empire, now known as one of the great black pharaohs. Though, as a great Kushite King, he ushered in what was to be known as the Twenty-Fifth Egyptian Dynasty in Africa, racism kept Piye’s depiction as light, and pale in many of his statues and paintings . This was standard for many of the African pharaohs. Piye ruled from 747 BCE to 722 BCE, from a stronghold in Napata, located in Nubia. Today the region is known as Sudan . Pharaoh Piye came from royalty himself, as the son of Kashta, a ...

Jesus Christ is, regardless of what one believes about his divinity, undoubtedly one of the most important historical figures in human history. His legacy today is indicated by the 34,000 different denominations and sects of Christianity comprising 2.4 billion Christians—a full third of the world’s population (Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance, n.p.). But in order to fully appreciate what it means to follow Jesus, one has to look at the world in which he preached, and the state of his following by the end of the first millennium. Jesus’s teachings had unique features that stood ...

Florence Nightingale’s legacy has influenced many peoples view regarding nursing and the nurses’ perception of the millennium goals. I am one of those greatly intrigued in terms of insight and perception. The eight millennium goals developed by the world leaders in the U.N reflect on the noble work of Florence Nightingale. It is amazing how she could have visualized about the solution to many problems that are even haunting us today, back then. She must have been very visionary (Wagstaff, 2004). Her concern about taking the practice of nursing to a whole different level was a great idea. ...

After viewing the film, I have a mixed take of what Spike Lee believes whether mass media outlets can be changed or that racial stereotypes will continue to be emphasized. The film argued both ways implicitly and explicitly where one could interpret the movie in both ways. The argument that mass media can be changed is represented by Sloane Hopkins, the assistant of Delacroix who was embarrassed to be associated with the minstrel show that was created. She even went to the extreme of pointing a gun at Delacroix to force him to see his racial misdeeds. The argument that leans ...

Questions abound regarding the appropriateness of displaying horrific and gory images for the public to view. One instance that comes to mind is the images related to the death of Osama Bin Laden that the White House decided not to make public anymore.

One side says it is important to show the pictures as proof that the fallen Al-Qaeda leader is indeed dead, while the other half is against it saying that everybody must be given decency in death and to ensure it will not trigger another ...

It goes without saying that if you don’t have an education then you are in deep trouble. Many people think that they can make it in life without a higher education by finding cheap employment that does not require vocational training.

Andrews, in his book Argumentation in Higher education: Improving Practice Through Theory and Research documents statistics by the US Census Bureau, in the year 2004 reported that, averagely, a ...

The history of Vietnam is filled with strong women who acted heroically or played heroic roles at times when the nation was in crisis. Some of these women who are greatly celebrated in Vietnam as heroes are sisters TrungTrac and TrungNhi. The two led a Vietnamese revolt against the Chinese in 39-42 C.E.

Another great woman who is also revered greatly in Vietnamese history books is Madame Trieu (Ba Trieu) who also led a Vietnamese revolt against the Chinese in 248 ...

A comprehensive understanding of the term theoretical lens is first attained by breaking the subject into two; theory and lens. Prevalently, a theory is a set of words or ideas put forth to elucidate or rather reveal the existence of a phenomenon. In this context, the theory is used to explain cultural perspective in a given subject, child development. Conversely, a lens from a lay’s perspective is a transparent object used to view or magnify the given object, thereby enabling the user, to ascertain a clear understanding of the viewed material. However, from the literature perspective, a lens is an instrument that enables people in a society to ...

Revealing both the best and worst aspects of humanity, the Renaissance was characterized by extraordinary human achievements, a heightened interest in human potential and, paradoxically, by superstition, witch-hunting, exorcism and torture. The humanism of Renaissance had four main themes: the belief in the individual’s potential, a tendency to view religion as being more personal rather than institutionalized, an increased interest in the classics, a rejection of Aristotelian philosophy in order to develop a more scientific attitude. As the ecclesiastical power started to deteriorate, the pressure of having to fit scientific inquiry with Christian dogma decreased, making inquiry steadily more objective. Copernicus ...
