In this sense, it is almost nearly inescapable that each piece of art or building will not in some way or another influence our thinking regarding how each of these societies is organized. This is true everywhere around ...

The Middle East has long been known for its willingness and active practice of imprisoning citizens for politically based reasons. For example, anyone who stood against the authoritarian powers in those nations have often been taken as political prisoners, in the regime’s continued attempts to maintain absolute control. However, as nations in the region experience political reform, prisoners are being released and those nations are seeking ways to come to terms with, and move beyond their history of political oppression (Amnesty International 1). It is my opinion that countries in the Middle East should release current political prisoners ...

The concept of ‘a sovereign, democratic nation’ in the West is based on a strict division between church and the state (government). The rationale used for establishing this premise is that religion is entirely a personal matter for individuals; there is no logic in the faith or beliefs that people have, since they cannot be quantified and measured (Asad, 2003: 45). Hence religion, is a volatile and emotional domain, ...
