Introduction

Activism by university students has always been discouraged by administrators with many of these activists finding themselves on the wrong side of the law.

Not being a native English speaker, Conrad wrote the short story Heart of Darkness, which perpetuated his name in the history of the world literature. This novella affects a number of problems of a different nature and direction. The most predominant of such problems became ...

INTRODUCTION

In human society there have always been laws and lawbreakers. Police were designed to protect the public from the dangerous offenders who might steal from them, harm them or kill them.

Looking at the cases of Self-immolation, it is quite true. There is ...

During the last eight years the European financial crisis that started in 2008 has presumably proved to be the biggest challenge the European community faced for decades. Economic turmoil that hit the most such countries as Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Cyprus was even more accentuated by the fact that most European countries have common currency – euro.

There is a need for people to evaluate their reasons for revolt before making the decision to protest. Mikhail Bakunin contends, “To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt” (Vincent 247). The public has conflicted with the temples ...
