In the article “Are Syrian opposition fighters ‘former farmers or teachers or pharmacists’?” the author contributed greatly in providing an objective perspective about the reality of the members of the Syrian opposition.

The author contributed to Obama’s comment that experts in the Syrian conflict have knowledge that a large percentage of the members of the opposition are ex-soldiers from Assad’s group.

In the early 20th century, this theory had become prominent in the historical and literary criticism of New Testament; however, the supporters of the "theory of the two sources hypothesis” in chronological primacy make hypotheses about the lost collection. According to this theory, Mark and Quelle were basic and the main sources for Matthew and Luke. Many scholars have concluded that the evangelists Matthew and Luke had to use a single source. The existence of so-called duplicates in Matthew and Luke are also considered as a confirmation of the hypothesis Q. Sometimes similarities in Matthew and Luke are expressed in unusual ...

Modern trends in photography are the logical development of ideas and aspirations that we see in the works of artists of the IX – XX centuries. Thus we can clearly see the similarity in the closely cropped low-key lighting portraits, that are so popular today and the ones, created almost century and a half ago by Julia Margaret Cameron. The way she used to shoot expressive portraits of celebrities, not widely appreciated in her own day, became widespread among world-class photographers nowadays. Adam Clark Vroman with his landscape, cloudscape and architectural views, had a great impact on ethnographic/documentary photography. He ...

There are two hypotheses on the migration of early humans in the New World or the Americas. These two hypotheses are the Land Route: Ice-Free Corridor and the Coastal Route hypothesis. According to the theory of Land Route Theory, humans migrated from Siberia to Alaska across a land bridge that were exposed before the start of the Ice Age. It was around 22 to 25 thousand years ago that humans crossed the Bering land where it served as a link to the New World. On the other hand, the Coastal Route hypothesis suggests that humans from East Asia must have traveled ...

He first reached the northern coast of South America and the Caribbean coastline of Central America. Christopher Columbus is one of the most enigmatic historical figures.

How can we be certain of anything? What if your mind is an artificial intelligence programmed to think it is a human being living in the 21st century; how would you know the difference? Furthermore, how could we know anything about forces and entities outside our laws of physics—for example, the existence and characteristics of God(s)? The uncertainty concerning the authenticity of claims, opinions, and perceptions—both scientific and spiritual—has challenged philosophers for ages. The fourth and fifth chapters of “Philosophy Made Simple,” by Richard H. Popkin and Avrum Stroll, discussed the Philosophy of ...

Solfeggio is rather significant in every person’s music education. A musician learn it all the way long their studies and continue to use it during the entire life. There is no single point of view on how it was created. The development of note scale began in the end of the ninth century. They appeared in cathedrals of the Rome catholic church. The point is that most of the messes were sung; and sometimes it was hard for singers to remember all the verses of Gospels. They came up with an idea to put dots and lines above ...

Art enables people to find themselves and lose themselves at the same time. It gives the description of how the world is perceived through our senses. Art can also be used to assist us in being focused and staying ...

As a father of free verse, Walt Whitman breaks the limits of the general poetic form, and in general, his poems are prose-like.

He reflects and mirrors the nature and the world around him because he strongly believes there is a symbiotic relationship between poet and world. He rightly says ...

Malcolm Gladwell offers a definition of success that relates to a person’s status in terms of wealth, fame, and influence. Even though his rule contains firm grounds in terms of the several drives such as date of birth and family background that paves ways for attaining success, Gladwell openly dodges the value of determination and hard work. His theory for achieving success has some cogent, but he intentionally takes out the most important part of the person’s endeavor within his analyses. The key to success lies in the individual’s power to persist through setbacks and difficulties, but his ...
