When talking about globalisation people mostly refer to the political, economic and technological changes which they think makes the world function differently today than it did twenty or thirty years ago It is assured that higher education institutions are affected by globalisation and are being transformed on a day to day basis and is speeding up the process of interconnectedness. Most of the universities are internationally recognised and in touch and informed with what other universities across the world is doing (Marginson & van der Wende 2006:4). According to Marginson and van der Wende (2006:4), “globalisation is not a single or universal phenomenon. It is nuanced according to locality (local area, nation, world region); language(s) of use, and academic cultures; and it plays out very differently according to the type of institution.” It is nearly impossible for single higher education institutions and countries to isolate themselves from other institutions across the globe because of the interconnected global environment. Globalisation has made it possible for institutions to be connected and visible to other institutions around the world through the medium of social networking and cell phones (Marginson & van der Wende 2006:4). 3.

...point of view on a subject and supporting it with evidence is often the aim of the subject matter. Arguments are everywhere. Arguments are usually a main idea often called a claim or thesis statement, backed up with evidence that supports the idea. Topic: Same sex marriages Over 10years ago when there was not one single state in the US that performed gay marriages, opponents of such matrimonies enjoyed strutting around on the national stage filling air waves and newspapers columns with long argument about the decline of the family and the collapse of our values based society. After President George W. Bush rode to victory in 2004 election by playing on people’s fears about the creeping homosexual agenda, it seemed that the debate had been laid to rest, and prominent liberal democrats chose to downplay the issue for fear of hurting their party’s electoral prospects. What a difference 10 years make. Gay marriages is advancing rapidly across the nation, winning at the ballot box, in state legislatures and in the court room. The cause has energized liberals and demoralized conservatives, who are left to be moan the changing social fabric and the nation. Certain arguments against gay marriages are often referred to as empty, hollow or vaped. Well, why not make a book that illustrates this as utterly as possible? What way to better illustrate the meaning lessens of traditional arguments against marriage equality than reducing them to blank pages? Proponents of marriage equality...

...Obergefell v. Hodges is a United States Supreme Court case, where the court held 5-4. In which the fundamental rights to marry someone in the same- sex is granted. On November, 2014 the fourth, seventh, ninth, and tenth circuits banned same- sex marriage were unconstitutional on the state- level. The previous actions created a split between circuits. With that been said, on June 26, 2015 they legalized same- sex marriage throughout the United States. The main reason they legalized same- sex marriage is because there was discrimination and inequality been done. Many argued, that marriage was a fundamental liberty because it gave people the right to build a home and raise children. They also argued that the fourth amendment has a clause that protects principles of liberty and equality. Another amendment that protects the same- sex marriage is the first amendment, which states that we the people of the Unites States have the right of religious organizations. With all that been said, if the United States did not allow same- sex...

...[pic] A prime illustration of how stereotypes promote ignorance. In my generation (Generation X), a bi-racial marriage is normal to me and I don’t think less of anyone in a bi-racial relationship. Which is why in reading the first box only, I could easily find myself wondering, “Whom in the world is he taking about?” By the second box I could be extremely curious and by the third I’m thinking this is ridiculous. Then by the time the punch line is delivered in the fourth box, I understand. Not only do I understand the joke and realize it’s a pun for gay marriage, but I also realize just how similar these thoughts ran through the minds of generations before me when those of the opposite race became involved in a relationship. There are similarities in the prejudice that exists nowadays in those who oppose gay marriage, or even civil unions and those compared to those who opposed miscegenation prior to the civil war.

...The Solution to Ethnic and Racial Civil Conflict Jacqueline Zhang GOVT 150W Introduction to International Politics Introduction Within a period of three months in 1994, an estimated five to eight hundred thousand people were killed as a result of civil war and genocide in Rwanda. Large numbers were physically and psychologically afflicted for life through maiming, rape and other trauma; over two million fled to neighboring countries and maybe half as many became internally displaced within Rwanda. This human suffering was and is incomprehensible. Similar ethnic and racial civil conflicts have deeply scarred countries and are threatening to break out in many places around the globe. Too much blood has been shed for ethnic and racial causes and too many have died in ethnic and racial wars. In accordance to the constructivist model of nationalism, identity (re)construction solves ethnic and racial civil conflict. Definition For the purpose of demonstrating how identity (re)construction solves ethnic and racial civil conflicts, “solve” can be defined as 1) to explain and 2) to put an end to, settle. In addition, “explain” means to make clear the cause, origin or reason of. Furthermore, an ethnicity is a population of human beings whose members identify with each other, on the basis of a real or a presumed common genealogy or ancestry. The term race refers to the concept of dividing people into populations or groups on the basis of various sets of physical characteristics...

...Although a little over a century apart, Frederick Douglass and Barack Obama shared a passion for change and the betterment of all people that remain unswayed, even today. Many trials and tribulations they’ve encountered but through faith and strong beliefs, these two men kept themselves together and helped run a nation. The pair came from backgrounds deviating in some matters but correspondent in others. Backgrounds that could have made them lose faith and give up or not even try, were definitely apart of their past. However, due to their incredible minds and attentive grasps on life these two men made very remarkable changes in this nation for many people. “It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.” -Frederick Douglass Even though this was said later on in his life, evidence of these beliefs raised their head early on in his life as a child. Douglass chose to be his own fire and find ways to learn to read. His thirst for knowledge began when his Master’s started teaching him. After she was forbidden to teach him any longer, he did not give up. Douglass decided he still wanted to learn to read, so he developed some tricks. He used bread to get poor little white boys, who didn’t have much, to teach him a thing or two in reading. He also used tricks like telling the white boys that he knew something they didn’t and when they would try and out beat him by showing him something...

...of green crime. Green crime is environmental crime of which rapidly increased with the enlightenment, and as ITEM A SUGGESTS 'IT IS AN INEVITABLE PART OF LATE MODERN SOCIETY'. Green crime has a unique nature due to the fact the world is divided into nation states and therefore green crime is hard to prosecute as we all have separate jurisdiction. For example, one nation state can damage and interconnected eco state with the form of acid rain pollution. BECK argues that in late modernity (our post-modern society) we can now provide adequate resources- however this allows manufactured risks to also develop such as Greenhouse gases from the productivity. MESSNER AND ROSENFIELD would suggest that the reason these manufactured risks develop is due to our capitalist 'Dog eat dog' attitude, we live in a consumerist postmodern society and therefore want more technological developments which produce green crime. WHITE backs up the view in ITEM A THAT SUGGESTS 'SINCE NO LAWS ARE BROKEN, SOME DO NOT CONSIDER IT TO BE A CRIME'. He presents two different attitudes towards the 'harm' that green crime creates. Anthropocentric harm is a human centred view of environmental crime. This is generally adopted by he nation states and transnational corporations who assume that humans have the right to dominate the natural environment. This implies that the damage is not a crime, or even a deviant action as humans believe they have the right to partake in productivity, whether there...

...to crime in South Africa is higher than that of the “average American and European” The result in this being that the people and especially the families of South Africa are living in a constant state of fear. Complete freedom is in a sense a luxury that the citizens of South Africa are not able to enjoy. South Africa is a country that is filled with “awkward choices”, this being the second issue that Carroll explores. Johannesburg is known for its energetic and “vibrant” social life therefore making it easy to socialize and meet more people, but the Aids pandemic is ultimately creating a sense of fear amongst the people of South Africa. Being the country that is most infected by the HIV virus, South African government is doing little to address the problem at hand. The President of South Africa is unnecessarily investing money in “German submarines” that can’t be justified. It is evident that the government needs to prioritise more clearly. The South African economy has improved significantly since 1994 but even so there is still a large amount of unemployment in the country. Since 1994 South Africa has strived for equality and unity amongst citizens and it is disappointing to see that apartheid still exists in the Internal Government. South Africa is considered a “rainbow nation” but citizens are reluctant to accept ideas...

After the legalization of same-sex marriage in Vermont and the advances of gay activists in Massachusetts, a strong and adverse reaction to same-sex marriage started developing in the country. In 2004, President George W. Bush organized and promoted an anti-gay marriage campaign hoping to win the presidency for the second time. Bush put forward the plan of amending the constitution in order to ban gay marriage during his campaign, and he won in all 11 states due to an increase in evangelical attendance at voting polls. Once on his second presidential term, Bush supported the passage of a constitutional amendment that would outlaw same-sex...

...It’s a tactic used with a goal to entice the customer to purchase the product. However, along with persuasion comes strategy and advertisers over the years have perfected this game. Through conventional approaches like Snob Appeal, Bandwagon Effect and Famous-Person Testimonials to name a few, businesses have invested millions of dollars in advertising with the hope of bringing attention to their brand and boosting sales (Campbell, Martin, Fabos and Harmsen). Take a look at Donald Trump or shall we say the “President of the United States”. The media has labeled him as the “Master of Persuasion” as his skills in this area take on a whole new meaning. Not only has his persuasive abilities been the weapon behind the Trump brand, we cannot forget his performance during his presidential campaign. It was at this time that he introduced our nation to the “Make America Great Again” slogan attempting to persuade voters through four simple words to place him into office. But what was it about this motto that incorporated the contemporary persuasive techniques of...
