The crimes against humanity will never ever end unless people take up arms to protect and fight for their freedom and human rights as what lawyer Lemkin said. The UN has been doing everything in their power to stop the genocide around the world, but I think that they won’t succeed because there are some dictators in our world who lead their countries for their self-interest, and leave the people with cruel choice which is the hard choice between rather they want to follow their leader and be safe or not follow their leader and be killed by their leader. For example, in the movie called watchers of the sky is that they brought the president of Sudan Al basher as a leader who is against humanity by force the people of Darfur to follow his lead and not protesting against him. In addition, these human issues most likely happen in less developed counties like Rwanda where 200,000 people were killed in one month by a dictatorship in order to control the country, which could describe what realism stands for in term of win – lose game.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has had as a strategy the development of space exploration. All missions from the most historical to those planned, have been directed under the same institution to enrich the scientific knowledge of the Earth, the solar system and the universe.

The Apollo mission is an example of the first attempts to landing on the moon, and the planned Mars mission is an example for traveling to the Red Planet; both were created through NASA, but their goals, historical epoch

A person’s perception of anything is always influenced by their experiences. Alice Walker, the writer of “Beauty: When the Other Dancer is the Self”, is no different in regards to her perception of beauty. Walker uses various stylistic elements throughout her writing to convey her shifting outlook toward her own beauty. She also employs various rhetorical strategies in order to deliver a clear and luring story that keeps the reader engaged as she describes her life as a flashback. Walker uses the accident that happens during her childhood to prove that one’s mindset can be altered because of a profound experience and how her attitude completely transforms from a conceited and arrogant child into a newly reborn woman who sees a new kind of

The Russian Revolution and the purges of Leninist and Stalinist Russia have spawned a literary output that is as diverse as it is voluminous. Darkness at Noon, a novel detailing the infamous Moscow Show Trials, conducted during the reign of Joseph Stalin is Arthur Koestler’s commentary upon the event that was yet another attempt by Stalin to silence his critics. In the novel, Koestler expounds upon Marxism, and the reason why a movement that had as its aim the “regeneration of mankind, should issue in its enslavement” and how, in spite of its drawbacks, it still held an appeal for intellectuals. It is for this reason that Koestler may have attempted “not to solve but to expose” the shortcomings of this political system and by doing so

Throughout the world, an undeniable, yet perpetual force is responsible for tearing nearly everyone apart: hopelessness.
