“The ecological crisis is very real, and it is getting worse at exponential speed. However, there is a silver lining on the current cloud of global gloom: The ecological crisis is interconnected with a global economic, political, social, and cultural crisis due to the fact the treadmill of production is failing to meet most people’s needs. The failure of the old paradigm of constant economic growth, combined with the reality of constitutional democracy in nations like the United States, will lead people to take the political actions and support the public policies necessary to build a sustainable world”. ...

However, the article will argue out to find out whether there is a way to lower abortion rates without involving legislation. Abortion is the termination of pregnancy that is not only a mere personal choice but also a grave offense against God. Therefore, abortion should not be used as a substitute form of contraception. It is understood that abortion is murder, no one needs a rocket science to comprehend this, and there are no compromises possible. Humankind must shield life whenever possible. The churches have stood ...

It is estimated that the United States and Brazil had more than two-thirds of the total enslaved population in the American continent (Horne 3). Brazil had the largest population of slaves compared to the United States. The wealth of both countries was based on slave trade commerce and labor from the slaves. This fact made the abolition of slave trade be difficult in both countries. The expansion of plantation agriculture in the two nations made it difficult for slavery to be abolished in the two countries. The increase in the global demand for sugar, cotton and coffee made it ...

Introduction

Capital punishment or the death penalty is the process by which a state puts an accused person to death for perpetrating a grave crime. The matter has been of considerable controversy over the past century in various countries and states. Human rights activists have continually criticized the states of being inhuman, immoral, and irresponsible for the welfare of its people through killing suspected criminals (Vaughn 78). Religious groups such as Christians have also expressed their disappointments over capital punishment, as it goes against the wishes and plans of God. The various reasons that state carrying out the process hold ...

Immunizations in Children

According to World Health Organization (WHO), “Immunization is the process whereby a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine” (World Health Organization). This definition of WHO can be further elaborated by saying that the concept of immunization works by stimulation of the immune system. The immune system performs the function of protecting the body against disease causing agents. In its healthy condition, the body’s immune system has the ability to recognize any invading microbe.

The leadership of Jiang Zemin can be described as successful considering the achievements made during his reign. His successes against his failures can be rated at 80% against 20% because he was able to rebuild broken ties with the United States which had been broken since 1989. Furthermore, regardless of the fact that he was an object of ridicule on so many occasions, he managed to meet the demands of the period and ensured sustainability in China (Qin). His efforts towards eradicating corruption also defined his tenure together with social, political, and military changes he introduced in China. The ...

War against Polio

Throughout the history of humanity, viral diseases have been with people, and for a very long time, medical scientists have sought various ways to stop and eliminate them. In the developed states, vaccines were produced to make humans immune to diseases such as rubella, mumps, measles and whooping cough. However, it was just once that any virus has been eliminated from its last defense in both the body of human and the wild and effectively treated completely. This virus was smallpox, which was totally eliminated outside high-security laboratories in 1977. From that day on, people have been free to inject ...

Introduction

Juvenile offenders are growing in numbers and they take a significant account of arrests involving the crimes of burglary, murder and rape. Juvenile delinquency is no doubt a social problem that is becoming pervasive if not addressed appropriately. The juvenile law took transitional stages in order to adopt to the changing trends in juvenile crimes and offenses. Through the efforts of social reformers, the juvenile justice system in the country took one form to another from the creation of reformation schools for the juvenile delinquents, the separation of juvenile offenders from the adult offenders, the creation of the special juvenile courts, ...

Human trafficking has existed since pre-modern times. The European slave trade, which began in the 1400s, is one of the first instances of organized human trafficking and the practice has continued to the present day (“Timeline of Human Trafficking”). A more recent example of the atrocity of human trafficking occurred during World War II when Japan established “comfort stations” for their soldiers. These “comfort stations” were essentially military-controlled brothels where young women (mostly Korean) who had been kidnapped were forced to work as prostitutes for Japanese soldiers (“Timeline of Human Trafficking”). This example perfectly describes the horrendousness of human ...

Poverty in its numerous forms has progressively attracted the attention in Brazil during the last decade. The government has made commitments extremely to reduce the misery from which many poor citizens suffer in their lives. The attention is an encouraging step, but the actual progress is yet painfully slow, even though the measures to increase the livelihoods of the poor are inexpensive. Poverty and inequality have walked hand in hand in Brazil for years since the country has been the most unequal country. Nevertheless, economic liberalization is the only way the country can implement to save its civilians. The ...

A nation’s environmental connections and geographical location affects so much of its points of development. Relatively, for a nation like Columbia, such condition of developmental chaos has been evident especially in the manner by which the nation tries to survive its battle against drug production and distribution in the country. When a country is surrounded by various countries and when some cities are near each other, will they have similar culture and traditions? Also, will they have some illegal issue when they have various borders? I hypothesized that the cities near each other by the border lane would have similar ...

Introduction

Bribery and corruption are a current primary public concern in most of the countries. It is partly attributable to the corruption press coverage regarding the public officials. Most OECD countries have enacted the legislation that prohibits bribery in the foreign public official level. Mainstream economists are also on the rise of focusing on the bribery factor in the business sector. They recognize bribery as a primary impediment for economic development and a subject that is worth policy redress and academic scrutiny. Both the International Monetary Fund and the known World Bank have established high profile commitments that aims at eradicating corrupt practices ...

The selection of India comes as no surprise for a number of reasons. It has an ever-changing population rate and a rich history that stipulates and rationalizes population trends. Mortality and population growth have historical underlying reasons. The point is that the Indians would incur multiple waves of incursion. Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan conquered parts of the Indian subcontinent while the British troops sent the whole region into the vassalage of English royalty. An increase in exploitation is always in inverse proportion to population growth and life expectancy. Since the region was the lucrative sources of spices, cotton, and ...

After several attempts trying to secure an appointment with Dr. Blarney H Paul, a medical practitioner in the field of psychiatry, I finally got a chance of interviewing him about pedophilia. He was a charismatic man and welcomed me cordially on my arrival. Dr. Paul started by defining what pedophilia was all about. According to him, pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult experiences a strong sexual attraction towards under aged children especially children who are 11 years and below. He went on to demystify the condition by saying that it mostly affects men more than women. In his response, Dr. Paul ...

Introduction

Many challenges that are emerging in the international system have made scholars look for ways to solve such problems. Scholars would rhetorically ask themselves whether nation states approach these challenges in the right manner. Some of the emerging challenge sinclude; global poverty, human rights abuses, climate change, terrorism, and international development. Most nation states have been known to use military force to solve such problems. However, these issues are still present in society. This indicates that alternative solutions are necessary. Conventionally, nation statesshould desist from using military force since it results in additional problems. Places wheremilitary force has been ...

Introduction

Across the world women has been denied equal rights, hence increasing their vulnerability to various types of violence. Even though domestic violence is global problem, there have been no formulate law or provisions that penalizes those who facilitates domestic violence.

Although there are established few shelters that aims to accommodate those women that fear their ...

Genetically engineered food is produced from plants, animals and/ or microbes that have had their genetic code modified by the selective introduction of specific DNA segment through the use of gene spicing. Through this process, the organism acquires desirable traits such as pest protection, improved nutrition and herbicide resistance. The genetically modified organisms, plants in particular, are modified to increase yield therefore allowing farmers to produce more with fewer chemicals (Atreya, p. 94). As a result, this leads to a cleaner environment and cheaper food stuff for the people. However, the main debatable question on this topic is, how safe are ...

Martin Marger writes that race is a human invention (Marger, 2009, p.17). The art of race has resulted into social injustice and oppression of a certain members of a particular racial group. Biology indicates that one’s race or ethnicity does not define one’s ability or social status in the society. This is points out that biologically, we are equal in that one’s DNA does not show if one is white or colored (Marger, 2009, p.11). This shows that the terms race and ethnicity are terms constructed by the society so as to form a hierarchy in the society. The dominant ...

Development is a concept that has presented contentious meaning in the contemporary world. In the current era of economic hardship, the idea of development can better be defined in relation to the status of the involved subjects. Particularly, the concept of is essentially dependent on people’s beliefs and assumptions. The western world is considered to have the best political and economic structures in the world. In this context, western assumptions and beliefs on development have entirely affected how the global community defines this concept (Hulme and Wilkinson, 2012).

Racial inequality continues to dominate the world even though we claim to be in post-racial state. As much as man remains social beings and bases their treatment of their background and history, then discrimination persists. Sociology explains the essence as to why racial discrimination is still rampant in the world especially in developing countries. People expect such countries to lead as role models in depicting the importance of ending racial discrimination. America needs to create policies and programs that would help in eradicating racial discrimination. America is one of the developed countries in the world; practically it still ...

Globalization is changing the worldwide economy scene in many important ways. Globalization creates extensive trade markets, enhanced right to use of the technology, and a lot of capital inflows. The World Bank (WB), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Trade Organization (WTO) institutions play a major role in accelerating the globalization. These institutions characterize irrational principles in their search to gratify the requirements of both developed and developing nations. Many organizations are selecting various paths for globalization such as merging with companies globally, allowing overseas direct investment, and tactical coalitions. As argued by (Woods 2006), to date WB and IMF ...

It is through deliberative dialogues that activities promoting peaceful coexistence in the society can be nurtured based on the foundation of conscious ...

Deploying Wi-Fi Hook-Ups in Disaster Relief - what are the Considerations?

Wi-Fi networks constructed for disaster relief and administered either in affiliation with a private firm or by a city have surfaced in the last few years, in spite of strong resistance and persistent lobbying by cable operators and phone companies, which dispute that municipalities would rival unjustly against their personal broadband services. Following the devastating Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans infrastructure became totally destroyed. This meant implied that cellular networks and conventional wireline phone service became dysfunctional. Therefore, the notion of WiFi network for the city surfaced, and 3 months after the disaster, there was the deployment of a free city owned wireless internet ...

Question 3

Instead of selecting country-markets on the basis of stand-alone attractiveness, managers need to consider how participation in a particular country will contribute to globalization benefits and the global competitive position of the business. Being a serious global player means much more than simply having a certain percent of your revenues from outside the USA and being involved in a certain number of countries. Being present in ten countries that include the United States, Japan, and Germany is far more important, in most industries, than is being present in thirty countries that exclude these three but include many small, less advanced countries.To have a global ...

The article relates to the discriminatory culture that was pervasive in the American society and the newly founded way of life that seeks to overlook racial facets. The author ably argues that the perceived more civilized culture has somehow succeeded in eradicating discriminative tendencies based on ethnicity. However the article appreciates the fact that although through the not long adapted c culture the American society has managed to progress by achieving considerable equality in most spheres of life, the same has also advantaged the white. The foregoing further denotes the author’s main thesis. In trying to authenticate ...

The role of the state in society

Arguably, the state plays an essential role in the development and growth of any given society. As part of exercising its obligation to its citizen, a state ensures that there is coordination among various agencies in different sectors to help it provide needs considered as basic for its survival (Geary, 2005; 3). The phrase `state` or `country` is used to describe a group of people who occupy a definite territory and are organized under a system of governance that is not subject to outside control (Allio, 2008; Kjaer, 2004). Through the powers granted to the state by the constitution, the state is able ...

Introduction

Data by the US Institute of Medicine indicates that the number of patients diagnosed with breast cancer yearly stands at an alarming figure of two hundred and fifty thousand. It further shows that breast cancer claims forty thousand lives each year 1. The aforementioned statistics coupled with the fact that current research estimates on the probability of a woman developing breast cancer during the course of her lifetime stand at one out of eight women are the factors that prompted my interest in writing on this particular topic. This paper will therefore focus on the symptoms and treatment of breast ...

Before World War II, German scientists were engaged in various medical experiments as a way of revolutionizing Germany state by cleansing all the human species that were perceived as threatening to the country. The medics were involved in establishing various medical approaches, mostly associated with the human genetics in order to develop a master race. Their plans were directed towards racial cleansing at which the German population was perceived as pure and was not supposed to be interfered with by other seemingly dangerous races. Development of eugenics is one of the issues that the government-funded medics and scientists were in a ...
