Introduction

Every sport that currently exists in the world is comprised of a dedicated pool of supporters or fans. In modern days, sports have graduated to become commercial enterprises with fans primarily being the end consumers.

Writings on Hinduism have been remarkably expanded in the past decade by anthropological research which focuses on the real nature of religious practices, including the underlying philosophy, and examines the setting or environment as well as the written literature. Edward Harper, in his article Ritual Pollution as an Integrator of Caste and Religion (1964), vividly showed that the hierarchical relationship of the concepts of 'purity' and 'pollution', which are the foundational elements of caste, is based on a paradigm of society wherein different groups are brought together by the common pursuit of religion or rituals for the gods. The ...

The quest for overachievement is one which has become central to current U.S. culture. Driven by a growing sense of beating peers, parents and children stretch limits to outperform and win. Probably, sports, particularly so called "dangerous sports", represent one most notable area in which (helicopter) parents and children compete to achieve excellence. In pursuing an eternal dream of overachievement, children (self motivated or, more commonly, pushed by parents and coaches) are subject to a host of risks in contacting one another during physical activity, a concern which only highlights growing debate over whether dangerous sports particularly football and ...

For too long, animals that are non-humans have not been accorded the dignity they deserve. The practice is wrong because, chimpanzees do have unique qualities that are essential to the world, if not the society. Take the case of chimpanzees, for instance. Despite the fact that they are one of the closest living relatives to humans, chimpanzees get mistreated when doing biomedical research. What many people fail to understand is that chimpanzees have emotions, consciousness, abstract thought and political behaviour. Humans are treated with dignity and respect because of more or less the same qualities and, therefore, the same ...

Part 1 – Assault and Battery

The terms “assault and battery” are often used together although these are two separate crimes. An assault is defined as an action that causes a person to feel the threat of impending violence. An action such as raising a fist or moving menacingly towards the intended victim constitutes an assault, even if no physical contact has occurred. The crime of battery occurs when there is physical contact. Grabbing a person’s arm or punching or striking a person constitutes a case of battery (Baldwin, 2007).

The fact that the HIV pandemic had not been contained during such years meant that people had to take necessary precautions. Most people including social workers were ill informed about the means through which the pandemic spread and thought they could catch it by physical contact. A health care worker attending to a HIV suspected patient had to ensure they maintained maximum distance with them (Farnan & Enriquez, ...

If Kate Chopin had written today, even the appearance of Calixta’s breasts in her fiction would not shock the average reader. Thanks to magazines like Cosmopolitan and Maxim, celebrities who get their fame from nudity, like Kim Kardashian, or near-nudity, like Kate Upton and Elle MacPherson, and the capacity of the Internet to provide a viscous layer of pornographic narrative as hard-core as you want to read, the mystery that once shrouded the sex act is now in tatters. The key to intimacy, which is emotional connection, remains a point of difficulty for many, but the road to orgasm is ...
