as much power as it can to ensure that its citizens are protected. The second one is maintaining sovereignty. Nations want to rule themselves to pursue their own domestic destinies. If a nation is constantly battling the imposition of another, it can't focus on its own domestic affairs. In relation, If a person is constantly worrying about being fired (power struggle) then they act differently in regards to raising his or her children, perhaps by skimping, sending them to bad schools, or making them

Although there can be important gains, the most troubling feature of aging has to do with the physical, social, and psychological losses and deficits it commonly brings, as well as our increasing nearness to death. And this gets us

Marabar Caves and utilizes the caves to symbolize the unknowability of a place. The caves have become symbolic of “other”: as they are complex, bewildering, and ungovernable. As for the characters, mystery and muddle surround the Marabar Caves, just as they do India itself. THEORETICAL CONCEPT OF PLACE The naming of place is a way of naming our own belonging or identity. Understanding place begins with identifying the person, or group of persons who name the space, whether it be the colonizer

similar to kitesurfing in the past. For example, there have even been reports of people kitesurfing with paraglider wings and surfboards in the 1970's. This was not enough to create an actual sport, however. While a few people would be interested and attempt to kitesurf in this way, the sport needed safer gear in order to get other people interested. This started to happen soon after the turn of the century. There has been a lot of work in the past few years in order to make sure that kitesurfing

What does idol worship mean today? Idol worship begins in the mind—it starts with an incorrect perception of God. It says you can turn an abstract God into a concrete or wooden or plastic image, which of course, is impossible. Idol worship doesn’t just mean singing and dancing and bowing in front of statues - it means believing in any force, object or item outside of the infinite God himself: an angel, a constellation, a force of nature, a living creature - or a statue. Everything is created by God

and science, into oceans of religions and politics, industry, finance and technology, those oceans swept by storms that poured English on to the willing and unwilling alike. It is a language that other languages take on, bend, adapt, and grow from, just as English itself from its slow fierce forging in these islands has taken on and been tested by and absorbed many other languages. Still it grows. A hoard and a history of words whose ingenuity, democratic sourcing, variety, richness even genius is

surprise to many people. In fact, I know it will be a surprise and then some, because of a recent study (Norton & Ariely, 2010) showing that most Americans (high income or low income, female or male, young or old, Republican or Democrat) have no idea just how concentrated the wealth distribution actually is. More on that a bit later. As far as the income distribution, the most amazing numbers on income inequality will come last, showing the dramatic change in the ratio of the average CEO's paycheck

different versions of cars like Volvo and BMW.[25] But because of economies of scale, it is not profitable to spread the production of Volvos all over the world; instead, it is concentrated in a few factories and therefore in a few countries (or maybe just one). This logic explains how each country may specialize in producing a few brands of any given type of product, instead of specializing in different types of products. Many models of international trade now follow Krugman's lead, incorporating

or is happening in the world, nor is it meant exactly as a prophecy. Nor yet is it merely a tautology. There seems, then, to be only one other category in which it can fall: it must be a value-judgment. This is what it turns out on inspection to be. Just as all ethics consists ultimately of value-judgments, so does all law. Every legal proposition is reducible in the last analysis to the affirmation or denial of an "ought"; that is to say, it is reducible either to the statement that A ought to do
