...The Psychology of Hate: How We Deny Human Beings Their Humanity This world cannot coexist with terrorism. Be it hijackings, bombings, hostage crises or sieges, terrorism has become a dark form of hatred in our decaying world; this petrifying presence of violence is one of the most distinctive challenges that our civilization has yet to solve. All of these violent acts of terrorism stem from manifestations of hatred and intolerance of those who are different from us; it fractures societies at a fundamental level, which results in constant turmoil and upheaval. Innocent lives are being lost and it is inexcusable. The phenomenon of such radical violence must be fully ridden if we wish to create a united world where we can all harmonize with one another. Nevertheless, it all begins with hatred; an emotion of intense hostility and animosity. With adverse consequences, hate is generally attributed to an extreme desire to ultimately remove or destroy the neglected object. Numerous psychologists have speculated complex theories to what they merely call, “the psychology of hate”. Unlike many emotions, hatred is an exclusively learned feeling; human beings are not born to imperatively hate random entities, yet it has become one of the most common reoccurring sensations among our life experience. Feelings of extreme hostility and prejudice are now a common reflex for those who we regard to be different than us; these differences tend to be racial, religious, economical or cultural...

...My history topic is The Boston Tea Party and how it was the most important act that led up to the American Revolution. I first thought that Malala Yousafzai was a perfect topic because she took a stand for women’s rights to education, but after thinking about it and doing research on her and her story, I realized her act to stand up was not controversial. So I decided not to focus on her as my topic. After doing some long, hard research I came to a conclusion that I would do my topic on The Boston Tea Party. I already knew a lot about that topic because I studied The Boston Tea Party in fifth grade. This topic is important to history because it sparked the revolution and led to our freedom today. Since it took me a while to figure out my topic, I...

...This book gave an insight to Ariès audacious ideas which was criticised by some of the public. “In medieval society the idea of childhood did not exist” Aries assumes “The absence of definition extended to every sort of social activity: games, crafts, arms … Until the end of the Middle Ages, the child was, almost as soon as he was weaned, regarded as a small adult, who mingled, competed, worked, and played with mature adults.” This reveals that he believes this concept is a recent social construction as it did not exist during the middle ages as children were perceived as miniature adults. There is some truth to his thesis, however, Ariès has generalised children’s activities throughout the middle ages which is false to some extent as people in different social classes had different roles for example in the highest social class (royalty) would have had privileged children who did not have to work labour but did attend school which was highly influenced by the dominant religion, Christianity. This reveals that religion had a significance in children’s lives leading to the conclusion that going to church was part of their social activity. British historian, Nicholas Orme’s states “This toy knight comes from a rich harvest of archaeological finds, made in the mud banks of the River Thames in London during the last 30 years … The finds also include toys that girls...

They are Victims B.1 Poverty B.2 Family Problem IV. The Hope for Child Beggars Conclusion Bibliography Chapter I Introduction In the Philippines’ current condition the populations live below poverty level. The basic cost of foods and transportations are growing rapidly while employment opportunities remain low. It is not surprising that children are often forced by circumstances to help their family in eking out a living or fend for their selves to live in the street, that’s why they engage in begging. They are also ‘engage in begging to help their parents in eking out the subsistence of the family.’As they remain in the streets begging they remain ‘unschooled, unskilled and with no future, if they don’t beg, they will starve’and probably begging is their last resort to live.

...PAKISTANI WOMEN: RELIGION, STATE AND SOCIETY Much has been written in the international press in recent years concerning the difficulties facing Pakistani women today. Islam itself stresses that women have significant freedoms and rights and the Pakistani constitution guarantees equal treatment for all of its citizens. Pakistan has signed many United Nations treaties guaranteeing the equality and fair treatment of women. But the reality is very different. Most women in Pakistan face a hostile male-dominated environment where they have little or no choice in their lives and face the prospect of harsh violence directed against them. Some international journalists have written that Pakistan is one of the most dangerous places anywhere for women. The reason for this tragedy is that archaic tribal customs and attitudes remain a dominant force in many areas of the country. Pakistan was expressly created as an Islamic state, but many Pakistanis have not followed Islamic teachings concerning the treatment of women. The teachings of Islam provide full protection and security for women, but many Pakistani women are suppressed and victimized by their own family members. Although there are clear provisions both in Islam and in the 1973 Pakistani constitution to provide respect, safety and equal rights for women, Pakistan remains a male-dominated society where women still struggle to achieve their basic rights. Male officials in Pakistan can point to the nation’s constitution...
