Democratic revolutions like the Arab Spring has toppled down political regimes abusing their authority for personal gains creating nepotic cults that leave people impoverished.

In fact, Guralnick states that there is a clear evidence that Egyptians influenced archaic kouroi sculptors (Guralnick, 1978). It was found that most of the kouroi had an Egyptian canon span, which makes it clear that Greek sculptors must have been influenced by Egyptian sculptures.

John Calvert specializes in the field of social protest and political opposition. He explains that Qutb set the theoretical foundation for radical Islamism in the Sunni Muslim community. Unlike any other Islamist thinker, Sayyid was able to exert considerable influence on the development of Islamism of his own time and of the subsequent generations. Unfortunately, many tend to sully his reputation. As a rule, not only the popular media frequently portrays Sayyid as a terrorist, it illustrates him as an Islamo-Fascist and endorser of murder; it tries to persuade everyone that his moral purpose resembles the objectives and intentions ...

International development (ID) project managers have to deal with a number of significant challenges in their work, ranging from infrastructure issues in underdeveloped countries to social development issues (Singer 2007: 84). Such challenges can sometimes lead to project failure.

Therefore, in order to minimize the impact of such problems and transform challenges into new opportunities, managers of international development projects need to use proven, modern techniques of project and stakeholder management (Richardson, et al 2015:12).

The Emperor Caesar Augustus was a man with a grand vision for his future and the future of his city, Rome.

During the course of his time as ruler, Augustus—sometimes alternatively known in other texts as Avgvsto—began to keep a text that described his time as leader of Rome (Bushnell). He eventually had this text transcribed onto a number of bronze tablets, and it was this ...
