Summary:
This current event article, Egypt Unveils Plans to Build New Capital East of Cairo, was written by Orla Guerin of BBC Cairo. The article reports that Egypt is planning to build a new capital city east of Cairo, Egypt’s current capital, which was built back in 969 C.E. The plans of the new capital and its forty-five billion U.S. dollar price tag were presented at The Egypt Economic Development Conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, which occurred from March 13th, 2015 to March 15th, 2015. The housing minister of Egypt, Mostafa Madbouly stated that the project would be completed in an ambitious seven year time frame that would include two-thousand schools, six-hundred health facilities, new infrastructure (skyscrapers and running water),

It will also lead to economic growth that Egypt desperately needs to prevent future unrest. Many countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and The UAE have already pledged four billion dollars in investments for the project and US Secretary of State, John Kerry, praised Egypt for taking steps to ensure future economic success. While building a new capital can be risky, like those in Brazil and Nigeria, since populating it could take years, Egypt expects five million people to reside in the new city that would be the size of Singapore with an airport larger than London Heathrow Airport. Egypt also expects this to be one of the most monumental projects in recent history.
S.P.I.C.E. Themes: This current event article can relate to the SPICE themes, Social, Political, Interactions, Cultural, and Economic. The article relates to the social theme very little since the development and transformation of social structures, gender roles, classes, family, and kinship is rarely mentioned.

Secondly the article relates to the SPICE theme, political, which includes components such as nationalism, expansion, state structures, and forms of government. The article states that this new
This investigation attempts to correctly analyze in what way the geography of Egypt influenced the ancient Egyptian religion. This query is very relevant because, certain geographical items influenced the creation of the ancient religion that helped shape many religions that are very prevalent today such as Christianity and Judaism. The issues that will be addressed are how the great Sahara Desert surrounding the civilization, the Nile river that nourishes the whole population, and how the overall common beliefs and myths built the foundation of the ancient Egyptian religion and subsequently influenced modern day religions. This analysis will focus on the time period of 3110 BCE to 550 CE and the place being examined is the country of Egypt. This will be accomplished through the exploration of research documents and informational novels.
I think that without the past there is no future. The future is very important and in this essay I will explain the Egyptian civilization in mesopotamia and information about their beliefs, way of life and leadership. I will also include the role of pharaoh and priests of Mesopotamia.

Amongst the turbid and dysfunction that is the Middle East lies the nation of Egypt. Egypt, a major country of the Middle East, is habitually considered stereotypical of Middle Eastern civilization, but further research guides one to the conclusion that Egypt is far from a generic Middle Eastern country. Egypt has a strong tradition of nationalism that has been formed during its history, giving it a national unity that is often non-existent in other Middle Eastern nations (1). This, as well as other advantages that Egypt has gained during its past, has allowed it to rise above the problems plaguing the rest of the Middle East and to form basically its
The Amarna Period is a time in Egypt’s history regarded with mystery and revolutionary rebellion towards tradition. Egypt is a region bound by its tradition and ritual. Throughout time Egypt has been attached to durable and consistent customs backed by a long and rich history. The Amarna style emerges at a time where the Egyptian people experience great conflict and turmoil. Changes break the back of Egypt for eighteen years of distortion and modification.
Both articles emphasise the importance of political myths, symbols and memories which unify the nation as well as functioning as a mechanism of
The political, cultural, and social improvements crosswise over Afro-Eurasia were fundamentally the same as the Americas and sub-Saharan Africa. The greater part of the political and scholarly pioneers needed to know the same inquiries with reference to who individuals were. There were city-states that had autonomous, self-representing urban areas. A typical society in Nubia was embraced by numerous Egyptian societies and political practices.

Egypt is a land of rich culture, society, religion, customs, and prosperity. Tourists flock over in floods to marvel at the wonders of Egypt: the pyramids, the temples, the Sphinx, and the fortresses. But if the Egyptians hadn’t been lucky to stumble upon the land of Egypt, there would not be much left to see. Egypt’s unique geography separates it from other lands. Each of the five themes of geography, which are location, region, place, interaction, and movement, are distinctly different from the others and have shaped Egypt’s environment throughout the ages.
Egyptian culture has many contrasts and contradictions between the old and the new. The two cultures are much different from each other. But in its entirety, the culture of Egypt has successfully combined the best of both worlds. Keeping the appeal and magnificence of its ancient culture unharmed, modern Egypt has absorbed the contemporary ways of life. Egypt Culture is a balanced culture, both in its ancient times as well as its stylishness.
Drugs, promiscuous sex, birth control, and total happiness are the core values of the World State in the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. In today’s society things like drug use and reckless sex are often seen as taboo, but in World State, these activities are glorified and even considered normal. Aldous Huxley attempts to address to readers the harsh realities and cruel ways of our society in an exaggerated form. His purpose in doing so is to open the eyes of society to what the world might come to if things like technology and humanity get out of hand. In the World State, the motto that people are conditioned to live by is “Community, Identity, and Stability”, all three of which are ironically twisted to encourage members of the society
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, two in five assaults reported to Australian police in 2016, were domestic violence related. However, it is not merely the prevalence of initial acts of domestic violence in society, but their repetition, that renders bodies in place to combat domestic violence, inadequate. By utilising a distributive lens and analysing victims’ access to justice and the uneven distribution of resources, including wealth and power, the prevalence of domestic violence within society can be explained and combatted. Additionally, arguments against these ideas can be refuted. Distributive justice aims to equally disperse resources among members of society, which can be maximised through an egalitarian approach.
The aim of the Wembley Stadium project was to build a new 90,000 seat state of art stadium. The new stadium was going to be used for a variety of functions ranging from football and rugby matches to concerts and private events. The stadium was to have a 50-year design life, and be both functional and architecturally significant. In addition, it was essential that the stadium allowed as much daylight and ventilation to reach the pitch as possible. A main goal was to have the build achieve UEFA five-star stadium status. The project was to be funded by a combination of state (National Lottery Fund) and private investment.
While Dubai and Cairo continue to differ greatly, the two countries are nevertheless decades apart from each other. Cairo has been carving its mark in the Middle East for as much as 200 years, leaving its trademarks of humorous and colorful cultural activities. Dubai on the other hand, keeps its cultural activism shared with its citizens; this is a result from its never-ending amount of diversity and cultural competence. The word that can best describe the relation between these two is cultural diffusion, which defines itself as the scattering of one’s cultural beliefs to the standing grounds of the country’s own set points. Dubai is filled with nationalities that continue to share Dubai’s culture and tradition together that shows how Dubai is dedicated to celebrate its traditions and spread these celebrations along with the citizens even the expats who live in Dubai. On the other hand, Cairo manages to rely on its own activism and historical virtues, revoking entanglements with
Fossil fuels are currently the world 's primary energy source. Fossil fuel includes coal, natural gas, and oil. In 2015, The United States consumed 97.7 billion btu of energy, 81% of that was from fossil fuels (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2016). Fossil fuel use will cause air and water pollution that will negatively affect all life on Earth. In 2012, it was estimated that air pollution caused 6.5 million deaths worldwide (WHO, 2016). These pollutants can worsen or cause respiratory and heart conditions. But, it 's not just humans that can be affected, marine life also suffers from fossil fuel usage. According to The United States government, the 2010 BP oil spill dumped an estimated that 210 million gallons of oil into the Gulf
