Semati argues that ‘Brown’, once signified exoticism, but refers to menacing ‘Other’ today. The Brown in this case (in Semati’s article) refers to the Muslims of ...

For instance, watching a television commercial of a new smartphone is not sufficient to convince a person to go out and purchase it. Equally important is for brands to select the most appropriate medium (television, radio, print, billboards or digital) in order to ensure that ...

As such, these entities mainly operate as parallel entities, each focusing on their individual duties in law enforcement. This taxonomy is both useful and an excellent beginning in the categorization of various forms of private policing as explained below. On the one hand, some of the existing classifications include publicly contracted, protective, intelligence, and corporate security ...

Nowadays, it is extremely complicated to defend the alternative understanding of morality. For some reasons, an approach that the self-interest is opposite to true morality is supported by the majority of people, whereas Kant has underlined that duty, obedience and non-resistance are far from the real living of the life, and therefore – far from moral happiness. Answering to the common belief that morality and self-interest are on the other sides, I consider it important to point out that in fact, they cannot be separated from each other, since even the noblest of acts is not deprived of the at ...
