This practice degrades women and is contrary to the spirit of Islam. There is no specification in the Qur’an as to what or how much the Mahr has to be because it depends on the parties involved. There are three main elements in an Arab marriage. First, after the dowry settlement comes the actual marriage contract, which is conducted by a legal or religious representative…

What effect does deforestation have on the world? Many people believe that deforestation has a negative impact on the world because it stops carbon dioxide in take (how trees take carbon dioxide from air to purify the oxygen), causes soil erosion and destroys habitats for many species, however many do not as it supplies jobs for thousands of people, it helps environments in particular places and frees land for grazing animals and houses.

much as it offers. Knowledge management panaceas depending on technology have not produced convincing results considering that more money has been spent. Remenyi went on to say that knowledge management is far more than a technological issue and thus, what is really entailed is a rethink with a prominence on the people side of knowledge management and such approach is the use of a knowledge café. David Gurteen and Dan Remenyi (2004) defined a knowledge café as a mode of bringing a group of people…

limited range of achievement, but they also destroy a student’s willingness to even do that much. While this misconception is harmful to all students, it seems to predominantly affects children of color… not that one needs to wonder much as to why. With what characterizes a “stupid student” completely up for interpretation by the teacher, it allows a nasty little loophole for a racist teacher to slip their previously silent opinions into the classroom. If white teacher believes Native Americans are dumb…

is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a very hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows, but it can’t get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can’t get out. As a result, the temperature rises. The sun’s heat can get into the car through the windows but is then trapped. This makes whatever…

$30,000 or less”(Feeding America). At the beginning of this research experiment the goal was to get 3 meals a day for a week and keep the grand total under $50. The other part of the research was to also make the meals nutritious in the terms of what is nutritionally needed day to day. Nutritious is “providing nourishment, especially to a high degree”(Dictionary.com). Going off of the My Plate initiative, a tool that is used by the USDA to help with nutrition, every meal should include dairy…

"What 's that over there?" Sara questioned, pointing to a glowing green spot in the distance. It took me a few seconds before I could see it myself, and it was like an alien device. As we got closer, it started making an ambient buzzing sound. I suddenly felt a strange tingle throughout my body, and then the buzzing stopped. "What the heck was that? Did you feel that?" Sara asked. "You did, too?" I asked. I took the rock and put it in my hoodie pocket. I suddenly felt really sick, like I was about…

Theory”, and that humans arose from the theory of evolution. With that theory of evolution comes the thought that when humans or anything dies, they cease to exist. Preist Neil Brown quoted Atheism: A Guide, written by Jesse Bering, saying, “What 's it all for?...what you choose to do with your brief subjective existence is entirely up to you...there will be no hell to pay. Only missed opportunities. And then you die” (p. 28). That clearly states that, as an atheist, Jesse Bering believes that there is…

escaped social and religious oppression, and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean for a better chance in life and a higher quality future for their children. Whether it’s Puritans in the 1600’s, Irish Protestants in the 1800’s, Eastern European Jews in the early 1900’s or African tribal minorities in the late 1900’s, they undoubtedly didn’t flee to be discriminated against and get denied service. And the list continues, The Diffa Arabs in Niger, LGBT communities in The Middle East and Africa, Political…

What She’s Worth Imagine a little girl playing with her Barbies, while her twin brother is playing with Legos. Both are brought up in the same house with the same rules and have the same education. As they get older the differences become bolder. Why is this? The little girl has to wear make-up and dresses while they boy stays mostly the same. Girls are taught to be homemakers and boys to be leaders. We look at woman as having a moderate height, a small waist, big boobs, nice hair, a great…
