Introduction As a child, the mind is easily in awe and wonder about the simplest or most basic experiences.

Day One: 26 January 2017

I attended a funeral in the early morning, in a Catholic chapel. It was a traditional Requiem Mass, so there were several hymns involved. All of these except one were sung in a call-and-response manner, accompanied by an organ, with a lone soprano singing the verses, and the congregation singing the chorus sections. The last hymn, the recessional hymn, was sung by everyone all the way through. As is usual for hymns, they were slow and quiet in nature, and had one single line of melody, as this was not a professional choir. This was live music, accompanied by ...

I have always thought that being a leader entails taking control of huge responsibilities like being the president or even being the leader of a school committee. However, it is until recently that I came to realize that leadership can also entail even the smaller responsibilities accorded to us. Therefore, my current definition of leadership is simply the act of taking responsibility for a group of people - whether large or small - and leading them towards a predetermined course. For example, a president is responsible for a whole nation, and he or she leads the citizens towards different ...

The trade and investment relationship between Australia and China demolishes the theory of comparative advantage. According to Adam Smith and Ricardo, it makes sense for a country to focus on the production of goods and services it can do efficiently and purchase goods and services it produces less efficiently from other countries.

The introduction of a free trade regime resulting in Australia-China trading relationship implies that Australian consumers will pay lower prices for imported ...

Watching Forrest Gump one always thinks of the protagonist as mentally retarded (or rather suffering from mental retardation - a congenital form of an intellectual disability ...

Benefits and drawbacks of VAT

As a taxing system, VAT has been used globally since the 1950’s and it presents unique benefits and drawbacks in itself. First, VAT is beneficial in generating income for governments which is important to cover government expenses as Stiglitz and Rosengard, (2015) observe.

Racial inequality has always been rampant in many societies, as it is reflected in white privilege seen not only in the United States but also in Canada, Australia, Israel, and in many countries in Asia and Africa.
