By definition, a leadership philosophy, let alone a personal one, emerges in response to variables making up a specific organizational behavior.

Personally, I aspire for a leadership philosophy based on strict definition of raison d'être. By identifying core purpose for which an organization exists, I would be able to develop a sustainable leadership philosophy. Indeed, companies, successful ...

The case for food consumption is becoming complex. For most of modern history, food consumers have relied on industrially produced food.

Modern technology is developing so rapidly and has archived such results, that nowadays it is possible to grow an apple only for few days, moreover, it will look like a picture. But the question is: what it has inside? Is it an apple or just pesticides in a shape of an apple? I, personally, believe in Paul Bragg’s words: “ we are what we eat”.

Should Children Who Commit Crime be tried as Adults?

When James Joyce was talking to a potential publisher of dubliners, he thought it would turn out to be just one section of Ireland’s moral history. Ulysses turned out to be much the same, in the form of a huge magnification of the ongoing argument that contains the frustrations of a broken heart and the awful clarity with which this Irish writer remembered, from the depths of exile, the specifics of a face that he could not forget. In Ulysses, what you get is some historical fiction showing the average lives of average dubliners thrown in high relief against he scenery of ...
