Introduction

In a UN referendum in 1973, Morocco pushed its claim of Western Sahara and proclaimed that it actually belonged to their kingdom (Maghouri, p. 114). It threatened Spain with war so that Spain wil move out of the said teritories. Morrocco pressured Spain and brought the case to the International Court of Justice. After this, Morocco, together with Mauritania, successfully claimed Western Sahara. Spain handed it over to these two neighboring countries. In 1975, the International Court did not historically legitimize Morocco’s claim. Instead, it independently entitled the territory as Western Sahara (BBC Online, p. 1).

The history of one of the most famous people in the World War I, namely Theodore Lawrence, better known as the leader of the Arab people has been full of events and turning points. Early in his life, very few people liked or even respected him. The habits, which were too unusual for an Englishman, were ridiculed and regarded by the senior management as a sign of incompetent. To somehow involve a not disciplined expert in Arab culture, the generals sent Lawrence to Arabia, where he was instructed to get in touch with the local prince and an overall ...

Abstract

The Lake Moeris Quarry Road built while the Old Kingdom of Egypt between 26th and 22nd centuries B.C. is the oldest paved road of the world and is testimony to the excellent sense of planning and execution of the ancient Egyptians of that period. The 8-miles of the main road was built by placing large stone blocks that were kept on the desert sand and to facilitate passage of sledges filled with blocks of Basalt to the quay of Lake Moeris, and then on to River Nile. Those Basalt blocks were shipped downstream of Nile to construction sites in ...

Introduction

The pollution in the highly urbanized areas allows the phenomenon called ‘greenhouse effect’ wherein the heat from the Sun is trapped on the land causing tremendous amounts of heat and leads to numerous issues such as the rise of temperature, drought, the melting of icebergs, and high evaporation of water. Unfortunately, the cities contribute to this effect, the use products containing CFC’s and the pollution of too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to the destruction of the ozone layers. With the destruction of the atmospheric barrier, the excessive radiation from the sun cannot be prevented. In ...

Leonardo da Vinci is deservedly considered to be the most well-known art master of the Renaissance. Examining almost all important spheres of human life, from physics to anatomy, Leonardo, however, left a substantial trace in the history of arts. His paintings, all perfectly performed and delivering a deep meaning by every detail, are now the absolute examples as well as the mysterious enigma. In fact, St. John the Baptists is considered by some to be the last work of the master, therefore, it is still considered to be one of the most controversial. Anyway, this painting represents the genius ...

Discussing the Great Sphinx of Egypt

ABSTRACT
The Sphinx is one of the most famous images of the Ancient World. However, despite its immense, stone image, the Sphinx has and remains a great mystery to layman and experts from many different fields. There is continuing research hoping to determine the true origins, age, image, and purpose of the Sphinx. It is likely much older than previously thought and therefore not built when it had traditionally thought to have built. There are theories that work to explain the Sphinx. However, the only thing that we can be absolutely certain of is that the Sphinx is a fantastical ...

Taking into consideration that it is a desert country, Saudi Arabia records minimal amount of rainfall annually. In fact, rainfall is most experienced in the Western Coast, and mainly between October and March, during which an average of about 300 millimeters are recorded (Zereini and Heinz 79). During ...

In the 13th century Chinggis Khan conquered Mongolia as a part of his Eurasian empire. After Khan’s death the empire returned to its original borders after Khan’s death and later came under the rule of China.

I would like to talk about the movie “Mountain Patrol”, filmed in 2004 by the Chinese director Chuan Lu. The peculiarity of this director's narrative is inherent in all of his films, but here he surpassed himself. Merging in one movie two different approaches – the artistic and documentary one was an unmatched idea. At least, hardly anyone else came across this symbiosis. It really turned out a beautiful picture, in which both actors and documentary were involved. I believe that his film was a key moment in the struggle to save the antelope Chiru, not only in China but ...

Abstract:

Karl Mannheim and Jean Baudrillard are two highly respected sociologists. They reigned in two very different periods of time and their views were inevitably shaped by the events and cultural realities of their days. Mannheim “spent his active life in the first half of the twentieth century, in the darkest years of Modern Europe”. (Karacsony, 2008) Mannheim observed and wrote about the self-serving separation of classes and how people behaved towards one another based on their economic status. Ironically, the same is evident in today’s times. He also believed that there is a relationship between human thought and the ...

Although the United States is a young nation, she has had a background that is full of conflict. Because the birth of the United States was born from a bloody conflict with Britain, it seems unsurprising that much of the early days of the nation was also full of conflict. Some of these conflicts were necessary conflicts, while others, looking back with perfect hindsight, were more avoidable. Regardless of how avoidable or unavoidable the conflicts in the United States of America were during the early years of the colony, however, they were very important for the development of wartime ...

Assignment 01

Question 1
a. Describe global patterns of atmospheric heating and circulation
The global circulation of air is responsible for driving some of the ocean currents of the earth and assists in redistributing the solar energy reaching the earth. Thus, it moderates and impacts environments for all earth’s life. Without such redistribution and circulation, the Polar Regions would be colder and the equatorial regions hotter. According to Largen (2003), atmospheric heating and circulation is a result of the interaction of solar energy with the rotating sphere which is planet earth. When solar energy heats a sphere, differential heating occurs. ...
