While President Bush has proclaimed a "war on terrorism" and taken measured steps in a strategic battle against terrorist groups, most prominently al Qaida, American citizens have been living lives far removed from his proclamation. The American people have responded to the September 11th "act of war" with an outpouring of democratic rhetoric and bizarre acts of patriotism1. Sadly, our proud demonstrations have truly ignored the reality of ensuing war. Americans have donated blood and established funds for firefighters' families, while failing to look outside of our nation with any intention of understanding the grounds for popular terrorism in Arab and Muslim states. The American public refuses to accept that we are a nation at war because we are fighting against a culture of Islamic extremists instead of a tangible state that we can define in our minds. Moreover, we are at war with a group of people that we do not understand and are disinclined to learn about. While the government of the United States fights a war, using diplomacy, financial traps, and of course, missiles and bombs, the American people must fight a war against our ignorance of the enemy. Additionally, the American people must fight against the propaganda and war hysteria that surrounds us in our own nation in order to identify our genuine role in the war on terrorism.
A true victory over terrorism does not lie in a successful military campaign or the destruction of one powerful terrorist network; a true victory lies in a global understanding of Arab culture and a willingness to accept certain values embraced by Arab and Muslim nations. As our nation launches offensives against the Taliban and al Qaida, we must realize that there will never be a way to militarily or violently defeat every terrorist group in the Middle East, even if our nation may be successful in destroying al Qaida and deposing the Taliban. There are simply too many terrorist organizations to effectively fight, owing to the popularity of the groups amongst citizens of Middle Eastern states. The eradication of violent Islamic extremist groups will only come with the appeasement of impoverished, disgruntled, and deeply angry Arabs and Muslims. This is something that we, as private citizens, cannot leave solely to the charge of our national government; in fact, this is something which our government alone cannot accomplish. The United States will never win a "war on terrorism" if American citizens are unwilling to participate in the daily struggle against the socioeconomic and political conditions that spawn popularly supported terrorism within Middle Eastern states.

His voyage was significant because he revealed various bodies of water that showed other explorers and individuals that the world was actually larger than it seemed. It gave countries access to valuable trade routes, bodies of water, and methods of navigation to travel throughout these passageways.
Events that capture the entire world’s attention are few and far between. Fighting wars normally occurs between acknowledged enemies. In the war against terrorism, most notably, the war against Al-Qaeda, the enemy is unknown. One is not the enemy of the United States of America by virtue of one’s ethnic heritage. A Muslim is not a hidden enemy simply because he is Muslim. A Muslim does however become the enemy when he targets the world as a member of Al-Qaeda, the vision of one man. He was an intelligent and educated man who came from wealth and high esteem, who, guided by his faith, through radicalization, exile from homeland, and anti-western sentiments, built the terrorist organization known as Al- Qaeda. His name was Osama bin Laden.
Shylock in William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice An ogre is according to the Collins Dictionary “a monstrous or cruel being” but more significantly as “something or someone who eats human flesh.” Is this how Shylock is portrayed in the play or is he a simple human being, a species capable of showing emotions and feelings such as vulnerability and love. Certainly, Shylock is presented to the audience in so powerful a way that even though he only appears in five scenes, many consider him the central character. Throughout the play Shylock appears to be the butt of all the jokes and many critics see his status in the play as the tragic hero.

Finding the Water Potential of Potato Cells Aim: Our aim was to discover the water potential of potatoes cells using different concentrations of sucrose solution Science: Osmosis is 'the movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a semi-permeable membrane' www.s-cool.co.uk 'Water can move between cells (unligninified) freely as the cell walls are permeable. However its movement is controlled by a number of factors, which are given names; solute potential ([IMAGE]), Pressure potential (+ Matrix potential =0 normally)([IMAGE]) and water potential ([IMAGE]). Solute potential ([IMAGE]): this refers to the amount of substance dissolved in the cytoplasm. This effects water movement because water always moves from a less concentrated medium to a more concentrated medium.
The terrorist attacks of September 11 led to a lot of pressure from the public to find those responsible and bring them to “justice”. In order to do so, President Bush declared a war on terrorism just a few days after the attacks, but little did he know that this very decision would also bring devastating consequences to many countries. Over time, people have been losing faith in the war and in its purpose. Consequently, countries whose economies have fallen under the Military Industrial Complex have manufactured a societal fear against Muslims and jihadists. As a result, they are now being stigmatized and portrayed as the enemies of democracy, and of the United States in particular. To make matter worse, it has driven western countries to implement many extreme security measures that undermine the democratic principles they are attempting to spread over the world. The war on terrorism has had many negative consequences on modern society, which include a legitimization crisis of democracy, mainly in the U.S, and the manufacturing of moral panics over security risks that have led to the criminalization and stigmatization of the Arab world.
Shackleton expresses his leadership qualities all throughout the narrative as he embarks on one of the most dangerous expeditions known. The well equipped leader and 27 other men undertake their journey called the Imperial Trans-Atlantic Expedition. This journey required a lot of fundraising as well as planning, which Shackleton put all of his life into. He handpicked all the men in the expedition. Shackleton’s leadership skills are revealed and displayed the crew are faced with many challenges. These challenges include the Endurance sank, to floes splitting. Then to try and reach another destination which resulted in spending days on end without sleep, to finding a place to call real land. Once they became ‘safe’ playing the waiting game
