The United Nations along with other human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International, denounce capital punishment, or what they also call “death penalty”. They consider it as “the ultimate denial of human rights”. The political reaction towards capital punishment seems to be, however, different. This is what Jerome Taylor comments on in his article for the Independent: “As the smoke clears after Saudi Arabia’s latest mass execution by firing squad Charles and Camilla fly in”.
According to the United Nations, the death penalty can be justified only in two “most serious” cases which are “the crime of ...

1 Introduction
Emotional intelligence is a concept that has fast gained popularity in the corporate world. Where once, Intelligence Quotient or IQ was given predominance when judging a person’s leadership ability, today, Emotional Quotient or EQ is considered to be equally important for one to be a good leader. Wechsler defined intelligence as “the aggregate or global capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with his environment” . Emotional intelligence, earlier referred to as social intelligence, is associated with the relationships that one develops with the constituents of one’s environment. To date, the ...

The Israeli-Palestine conflict is one that is incredibly complex and borne of sophisticated and difficult-to-resolve religious, political and cultural differences in the Middle East. The area has been subject to substantial examples of violence, imperialism, and religious extremism to the level where the conflict has escalated to near-unsolvable levels. However, the history of the divisions that take place in the West Bank and adjacent areas must be understood and explored, in order to solidify our perceptions of how the conflict was created. Here, the Balfour Declaration, Henry McMahon's Letter to Ali ibn Husain, and the British Mandate for Palestine ...

As reasoned by (Starobin 16) in the National Journal on Media, the article “In New Media Image is Still Everything” attention-grabbing and informative as it portrays the advantages and disadvantages of the CNN effect, shows the impact ...

Summary

The clash of civilizations is a treatise in which Samuel Huntington radically argues for a shift in the geopolitical landscape of the world. According to the author, the world societies are likely to differ not based on the ideal nation state. Rather, the ground of differentiation lies in the civilization orchestrated by the religious, ideological and idealistic forces that determine nation states. However, Huntington is cautious not to presuppose the death of nationalism. He outlines a reasonable ground for ideological clashes of civilizations. He insists that the western set of reasoning would always be in competition with Asian, African and other regional ...

ARTICLE REVIEW

If there has been a recent event that has affected the world greatly after the tragic events of 2001, it has been the Egyptian revolution. Unpredictable, inconceivable and simply unbelievable, the month of February 2011 that marked the uprising of Egyptians for freedom from a seemingly eternity-long tyrannical rule of Hossein Mubarak was a historical moment. How did the Egyptians manage to walk out on streets and display unanimity in opposing to the dictatorship of Mubarak circulated as the million dollar question. It is still a heated debate topic among various political analysts who are still struggling to comprehend this wave of revolution ...

In the op-ed piece "A Festival of Lies," Thomas Friedman of the New York Times raises some interesting points about the military intervention of the United States in the Middle East. Responding to other pieces noting the lack of effectiveness in the US interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq and others so far, Friedman thinks that we need to reevaluate the reasons why we are there. "What the Middle East needs most from America today are modern schools and hard truths, and we haven't found a way to offer either" (Friedman, 2012). Instead of legitimately offering humanitarian aid, we often place ourselves ...

In ideal terms, one’s response to this debate should be straightforward: the principle of self-determination would seem to be at the heart of the notions of freedom and democracy, and, therefore, in principle, every group that claims to be a nation should, in principle, be allowed to have their own state, but the real world is far messier than the ideal. There are distinct problems with allowing this principle to be exercised across the globe, and, because each call for nationhood occurs in a slightly (sometimes radically) different context, there can be no single solution which can be applied across ...

Nawal El Saadawi in this article shares both her personal experiences and professional advice as a physician on the issue of female circumcision.

What is “Cyprus problem”? When and why did it appear?
“Cyprus problem” is the ethnic conflict between the two main ethnic communities on the island – Greek majority and Turkish minority. Stevens (2014) underlines that British Empire faced with it in 1925 when Cyprus became Crown Colony. Both communities think that Cyprus is their motherland but don’t want to live in peace together.

The US Shale production and discovery of oil reserves in Canada has increased present and potential supply of crude ...

Introduction

In the early years of development, activism was a chaotic event characterized by violence, injuries, and deaths. It was hard for people to take up action against something since a lot of people lacked full details of the campaign. One great event that required a high campaign turnout was the black revolution in America. It took several years for the African Americans to change from slaves to free men who had equal rights with the white Americans. The continued activism started in the mid-19th century and went as far as a mid-20th century. The same case applies to other areas like South Africa. ...
