.... In Canada, most of the land taken over by urban sprawl came from the best cropland. Even in the Third World or developing countries, land conversion is a serious problem; this is because the population increases in such countries are comparatively great and the growing number of people need more land to live on. Increases in food supply cannot keep up with rapid increases in population. In other words, the world population could outstrip its ability to feed itself. More than half the world's population lives with hunger and malnutrition everyday in spite of the fact, that most countries are self sufficient in food supply. This situation exists in most of t .....

.... 1818, died on March 14, 1883, was a German economist, philosopher and revolutionist whose writings form the basis of the body of ideas known as Marxism. In his youth he was deeply affected by the philosophy of G.W.F. Hegel, and joined a rebel group called the Young Hegelians, which contributed ideas towards the movement against organized religion and the Prussian Autocracy. Later on in life, he was influenced by the writings of Ludwig Feuerbach, who wrote that God was invented by humans as a projection of their own ideals, and that in creating such a 'perfect' being, in contrast to themselves, mankind lowered themselves to lowly, evil creatures who needed gui .....

.... Mysticism is defined as “a particular method of approach to Reality making use of intuitive and emotional spiritual faculties which are generally dormant and latent unless called into play through training under guidance.” Since mysticism is connected with many other religions also, the Sufis had to be extremely careful to be under “guidance” at all times. They prefer the word guidance to the word teaching because they believe that the sought-after relationship with God can be reached only through personal experience. The original Sufis, though they seem far from the orthodox views, maintained a very close tie with original Islami .....

.... and they will be thankful for those few slaps across the butt or the face. Most of the time a little discipline is all you need to make sure that kids stay on the right road in life. Kids need support in order to survive in the "real world". Parents are the only ones tha can give them support in the begings of their lives. Kids will need emotional support to face some of the problems earlier in their life, because of sheer lack of experience. Not knowing how to solve some of the life's problems would only help them get hurt. Thats when the parents play the key role in their life. Financial support is something not all parents can give, but it they c .....

.... most schools used a standards based curriculum. In the traditional classroom setting, educators focused on the input side of education, teaching a specific body of knowledge. Students were graded against predefined standards and passed or failed based on their ability to meet those standards. This method of teaching produced a graduate with a well rounded education, and prepared him for further development of career skills. With the exception of those who did not apply themselves, the system worked. Today America's educators take a new approach in the classroom. The focus of education has moved to measuring what students can do, rather than what they un .....

.... he should embrace them; because this appearance of a strong state by his subjects gives them a false sense of security. He states in paragraph fourteen that “since they (men) are a sad lot, and keep no faith with you, you in turn are under no obligation to keep it with them”. Machiavelli believes that men will lie, cheat, or steal if it has some benefit to them, and while a prince shows them his benefits, they are devoted to him. He also contends that because of this sad condition of man, it is alright for a prince to break his word when such fidelity would damage him or when the reasons that made him promise are no longer relevant. This advise would not be sou .....

.... 1950’s, and has never stopped growing since. Discussion whether or not television is a positive part of modern life, might seem arguable from several different viewpoints. Positively or not, the television has affected the life of almost every human being on the Earth… First of all, people who lived before “the television era” could not hear the latest news at any time. The only source of news was the papers. However, without any significant technology involved, the newspapers could only report on the local events. On the top of that, usually such news offered information not accurate enough and too old to interest greater percentage of .....
