Abstract

Climate change is a phenomenon that takes place cyclically every few hundred thousand years. However, what sets apart the climate change of this century is that the climactic change has largely been an outcome of human activities, which have given rise to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The increased temperature of earth has made observable impacts already, including melting of mountain glaciers, heavy downpours, extreme flooding and droughts, depletion and degradation of natural resources, and an increase in natural calamities. All these effects put together pose a threat to the survival of biodiversity. For the sustenance of biodiversity, Continue reading...

Introduction:

The world’s philosophy has been integrated to our civilization. In the ancient times philosophers introduce values as to what they have understood. These thoughts are results of deep meditation of what is happening in the world that time. One of the most appreciated thinkers of the ancient world is Plato. Evidently, all of his ideas were still studied up to these days.
As for this report, I the proponent will review one of his dialogue called Timaeus. It was a dialogue not only by Plato but also with other great thinkers at that time specifically Socrates. Additionally a Continue reading...

Relevance of the topic is determined, above all, by the significance of OPEC in international economic relations and the history of its activity. The member countries of the organization account for 40% of oil supplies to the world market and about 78% of proven oil reserves, which is why their influence on the oil prices cannot be denied. However, the global oil market in the XXI century is not monopolized to such an extent, as was the case in the recent past.

Stereotype is nothing but a common public belief about the characteristic attributes or behavior of an individual or a society as a whole. It may not be true since stereotyping an individual or a community is purely based on assumptions and views (“Stereotype Examples”). The most commonly noticed stereotypes in the world today are racial, cultural, sexual and group-based. Stereotyping a country for negative reasons affects the members of the society badly. For example, the younger generation of a negative stereotyped country may find it difficult to find better opportunities and fair treatment in another country. This, in turn, Continue reading...

According to the international journal of economics sciences reports, the official exchange rate is the exchange rate system that is mostly accepted and provided by the national authorities and officers to legally sanctioned exchange systems in the market.

Although it seems that religion and fashion are two worlds apart, both fields merge at one point due to religion’s influence on fashion. In this research study, we are going to explore the link or relationship between religion and fashion – two different fields that seemingly differ in views, perspectives, and practices but also share some aspect that relate to fashion.

Abstract

Most earthquakes in Saudi Arabia are a result of the separation along the mid-rift of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden in the South, which have caused an extensive movement along the Gulf of Aqaba in the North. This movement has created what are known as transform fault systems along the Dead Sea toward the Gulf of Aqaba. In addition, numerous seismic tremors also occur because of the impact in the subduction zone along the Zagros Mountain located in the northeast of the Arabian plate.

David Bottom’s poems have always been intriguing and full of insights. His creative use of imagery and symbolism always makes his poems interesting and insightful as well.

Such problems include racism, lack of identity, frustration that come about when people live lives that are limited in opportunity and potential and the disappearance of the rural world into suburbia.

Introduction

The world is witnessing the bloody battle of good and evil since the prehistoric times, and therefore, the war is raging and ongoing. Evil attains an upper hand in the fight when good people remain silent in the response to injustice and crime. However, people are there who have the purified hearts, and clean wills those they use in order to confront wrong day in and day out. The story of Beowulf summarily argues that one must remain thankful and grateful to those who lent a favor to them or their families. King Hrothgar was a celebrated warrior in Continue reading...

Our senses provide us with raw data from the external world. The raw data that is fed by the sensory organs to our brain is devoid of form and meaning. It is our faculty of perception that attaches meaning to that data and allows us to process it. Without perception we will only have neurons firing in our brain and we will be clueless as to what we see, hear, taste and feel. We will see a random structure in front of us with the help of our senses and it is our perception that tells us that this Continue reading...

The Eyes of the Skin, by Juhani Pallaasma , is a profoundly important small book. I feel as if this book will affect me on many levels for some time to come, as it applies not only to the world of architecture, but to the world of everything. It draws in the worlds of painting and poetry and photography as well as architecture. The phrase that comes to me right now is “the poetry of architecture,” (my own phrase).
On page 68 of his book, Pallaasma (2005) says on art that “enigmatically, we encounter ourselves in the work.” His main Continue reading...

Mark Twin famously advised aspiring novelists to “write what you know,” and F. Scott Fitzgerald based much of This Side of Paradise on his own personal life. He grew up in the Midwest, studied at Princeton, served in the Army, and partied in New York City.

The narrative traces his experiences and philosophical development from a spoiled teenager to a hapless adult; lost and incapable of any real action. However, the novel is a traditional American coming of age story, and Continue reading...

Two contrasting views emerge in discussion about the character of Hamlet in Shakespeare’s tragic play about a young son who seeks out to avenge his father’s most foul and unnatural murder.

But what is the takeaway? To answer this question, some critics have tried to paint the story of the play as an illustration of mental illness. The second view is that Hamlet Continue reading...

In “We are Seven” by William Wordsworth, the narrator begins by asking if a young girl, that is so full of life, could possibly know anything about the hard realities of death, arguing she did not know death. The poet narrator asks the rustic “little cottage girl” about the size of her family and she tells him seven, even though two are dead and “buried in a churchyard near her home/ Their graves are green, they can be seen” (30-33). The poet is a realist, and is unwilling to accept her explanation. To him, there are alone five children, Continue reading...

Every culture in the human history had its own model of development and a certain ideal to follow. These ideals could be conditioned by territorial specifics or historical reasons. On the other hand, some ideals were conditioned by the reasons that created certain cultures and kept them going in the times of difficulties and struggles. American culture is no an exception. Being formed on the basis of free will and one’s ability to achieve success through hard work and commitment, the American culture created the ideal of the American dream. This ideal became the topic of various social Continue reading...

The last chapter of Pasternak’s novel ‘Dr.Zhivago’ consists entirely of poems prompting certain authors to call it a novel-poem. Pasternak in his novel time and again stresses the importance and the relevance of the poems to the personality of the hero as well as to the plot of the novel. In many instances the narrative seems to be an extension of the poems. As the chronology of the novel suggests many of the poems were written at the same time as that of the prose parts. The reader is told that Dr. Zhivago (Yury) wrote poetry in his Continue reading...

The most frightening of the global concerns has always been something that kills. Ironically, when it comes to sexual health, people set their own camps and begin to challenge each other.

All literature is, to some extent, a product of the context, the environment in which the creator lives. This environment could be immediate (such as within the immediate community and the people one interacts with in their daily lives) or broader (such as global).

According to the Oxford Dictionary of English (2010), a slumlord is “A landlord of slum property, typically one who charges extortionate rents”. Concurrently, the literature on slum proprietors and slum dwellers provide two distinct ways of defining a slumlord, each revolving around the given definition.
