MULTISTRATEGIC AND MULTIFACETED CONCEPT OF THE R2P According to the World Summit Outcome Document 2005, the R2P is based on three pillars, so there is not only one simple definition which can be applied in the Syrian crisis.

Digital Activism with the internet can be compared to a tool helping man further their knowledge and better approach situations with a more astute view sometimes according to their own ideologies which can also not be a bad thing but not a good thing either depending on how the tool is being used because at a certain point the tool becomes a crutch and this is a problem with most of man’s tools.

Around the world approximately 429 million people are connected to the Internet. Forty-one percent of those 429 individuals reside in North America. While 429 million may seem like a large statistic, the number only accounts for 6 percent of the global population. Hence, numbers like 429 million reflect the digital divide; which is a gap between those that are able to sustain and comprehend technology use and those who are not able to. The disparity of the digital divide is the driving force
digital divide is further subdivided by gender, race, income and disabilities. Gender With the increase of availability of access to technology in society today, women are still lagging behind their male counterparts (Conversations for a Better World, 2010). Why is this still happening in the Twenty-first Century? Globally, the root cause is the cultural treatment of women.

technologies. The divide appears in disparities between individuals, households, businesses or geographic areas, usually in various socioeconomic levels or other demographic categories. The Digital Divide is an ongoing issue in America and throughout the world.

Introduction The United Nations Organization (UNO) has been at work for decades in order to make this world a better place to live in. This is done by giving the leaders from every country to come up and discuss the global happenings on a neutral platform in order to make sure that the concerns and the difficulties of each country are properly heard. Similarly, one aspect of the UNO is to monitor the global events by itself and, when the time comes, should interfere to make sure that such events
A Brief History of "Sustainability" “[M]odern industries still operate according to paradigms that developed when humans had a very different sense of the world” (McDonough and Braungart 26)—when resources were thought to be infinite. In 1972 the UN convened the Conference on the Human Environment where “the global community acknowledged that more exploration was needed of the inter-relationships between the environment and socio-economic issues of poverty and underdevelopment.

They never think about how much their family and friends love theme. “what good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world and glory themselves , yet forfeits his soul?” that is Bible talk me.

This rhetoric suggests that apocalyptic events will unfold as humanity marches blindly forward demanding more and more autos, jet travel, and air-conditioned homes. Once having crossed over the precipice, there will be no returning to that earlier world. The Earth’s atmosphere will have been irreversibly violated and humans must forever reap the consequences of their profligate lifestyle. Whether or not this alarmist view is correct is open to debate. Climate change brings together the disciplines

The government has narrated clearly this objective in the initiatives for poverty reduction (Woods, 2008, URT, 2005). In achieving development goals, once again quality education remains one of the undeniable tools for increasing the welfare, freedom of people (UNICEF, 2012; Hartwig, 2013), and of course improved health services.

In our world today, everyone has a different way of interpretation. Interpretation ranges from person to person and varies with every artifact that we interpret. A red octagon to some may mean to stop while to others it may have no meaning. A poem or song may have one meaning to one person and a completely different meaning to another person. To help uncover the reasoning behind an artifact a rhetorical analysis can be utilized. When one utilizes a rhetorical analysis, it will result in their
women and men.” ― Gloria Steinem. Feminism is the belief that the sexes should be equal socially, politically, and economically, particularly in the case of liberating women. Throughout history, women have had to live, in a primarily male dominated world, with few rights and many fights for equality. The greatest challenge that feminists face is dealing with sexism, stereotypes, misogyny, and discrimination. Some people believe that modern day feminists are becoming increasingly radical and that feminists
However, if they are unwilling or unable to do so, the onus to end atrocities and mass killing shifts to the wider international community. This responsibility to protect was adopted by the UN General Assembly in a formal declaration at the 2005 UN World Summit. Its advocates argue that it will play an important role in building consensus about humanitarian action whilst making it more difficult for states to abuse its citizens.

The Maldives: a group of islands just off Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean. This tropical paradise sees thousands of tourists visiting its shores per year. There is just one problem: the highest point of the Maldives is just six feet above sea level, which means that any rise in water level at all would spell disaster for the 1,190 islands and their inhabitants. That is why for the last decade or so the Maldives president Mohamed Nasheed worked vigorously in the fight against global warming while
An example of this is the introduction of the term ‘sustainable consumption’ at the Rio Earth Summit. There are other initiatives taken to promote sustainable consumption like the initiative taken by the Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production. It is also clear that the consumer cannot solve the problem of over consumption alone. Many other
