John Rawls is a great proponent of the natural rights theory. With his theory of the veil of ignorance, Rawls is of the idea that everyone has some rights that accrue to them by nature.

Without those who work against their own nature as human beings however the inactivity and inability to intervene when needed is a very human characteristic.

The Quran and the Bible have some similarities as well as differences. However, in the recent years, believers of the two religions have focused on the differences more than the similarities. These differences have brought about enmity and misunderstanding among believers of the two religions. The rivalry between Christians and Muslims began during the Crusader Era (1095-1291). This was a period when the Crusaders were trying to free their “Holy Land” from the yoke of Islam (Trautman and Peterson).

Language is the main form of communication between people. Effective transmission of information would be impracticable without it. Such a "talent" appeared from immemorial time and allows groups of people to communicate, exchange news, ideas and feelings. However, before the onset of globalization, this communication was limited to the level of individual nations and peoples. Contact with other people is difficult without the common means of communication, which will certainly lead to isolation. This problem is partially solved with the help of translators. It is necessary to choose a single international language - lingua franca, since neither the worldwide ...

The research problem will be to investigate whether the patrimonial political systems of Singapore and South Korea are democracies that surpass their liberal Western analogues in terms of national growth and even democratization in some ways.

Sometimes, states like Singapore being low on resources and facing external threats decide on less liberal norms and behaviors bordering on authoritarianism in specific aspects. Regulated merit-based selection practices and disciplining norms ...
