Article Review

Natalie Wolchover in her article devoted to the issue of gun control develops her point through the dialogue prism.

The author refers to the most-known scholars in the area of constitutional law from Harvard, who has a similar way of argumentation: firstly, the dialogue, then, ...

Studies have proved the stepping-stone theory, i.e. from simple addiction to “hard core” addiction, which is similar to gateway theory. Some users used canabis or marijuana as a “gateway” or substitute for alcohol, and those who used medical canabis were former canabis users. Charlton (as cited in Reiman, 2009) indicated that substitution with substances was used by some users to address the problem of alcohol addiction, but further using harder drugs for self-medication. Alcohol and tobacco have been regarded “soft” drugs and are used as “gateway” to “harder” ones. The stepping stone suggests that it is a progression (from ...

As an immigrant to the United States of America, I understand better than many native citizens just how complicated cultural identity can be.

The time I spent in Guyana as a young person gave me a strong personal identity and a powerful belief in God, both of which have affected how and why I learn.

In the times of the ancient Greek philosophers, according to T.E. Rihll, education was not as well structured as it is today. Some of the problems that philosophers faced were getting an audience, and finding serious students instead of people who just wished to be entertained.

One important way that this happened was through giving speeches at festival days, "when many people would be out and about in the public places, and would be in holiday mood" (Rihll 171). ...
