Five years after the beginning of the ‘Arab Spring’, people are still questioning themselves whether any of the countries involved has had any positive outcome or if they ever will. Comparisons between the similarities and contrasts of the different states emerged with the very first agitations in the areas. Also nowadays, the international community risks to come up with generalised prophecies based on the worst scenarios. In fact, despite the original opposition to the authoritarian rule, common

Introduction The El Nino Southern Oscillation is a large scale circulation of atmospheric and oceanic interactions. It is a natural climate phenomenon where the tropical Pacific Ocean experiences higher than normal ocean temperature. The opposite, La Nina, refers to the unusual cooler than normal sea surface temperatures. It gained its name “the Christ child” in Spanish (“the girl” for La Nina) because the characteristic is most obvious around Christmas alone the western coast of South America where

Makings of a Tunisian Revolution Catalyzed by the Egyptian-born Wael Ghonim, who in June 2010 created a Facebook page in response to a picture of “28-year-old” Egyptian Khaled Mohamed Said, “who had been beaten to death by the Egyptian police”, young people in Egypt unleashed a social and political revolution against Hosni Mubarak’s repressive regime.

El Nino is a phenomena that occurs when the ocean and the atmosphere collide. The warm atmosphere mixes with the water and creates a moisture in the air creating a low pressure system. A high pressure system is created when the cold water reduces the air above it. During a low pressure system the air becomes moist and can create severe tropical storms, on the other hand when there is a high pressure system the cold dry air goes back down and takes away all of the moisture. When combined this can

Currently, one of the major problems in the world is the rapid change of our climate. Years of research and studies have linked climate change to the spreading and occurrence of many infectious diseases. Vectors and pathogens that were not able to spread to certain countries before because temperatures were too low for them to survive in are now being able to habituate these parts of the world because of how much warmer our planet is becoming. This is concerning to us because infectious diseases

On the 11th of June, 1963, a monk named Thích Quảng Đức burned himself alive on a busy Vietnamese intersection. An action that, in five months time, led to the assassination of the Buddhist-opposing president of the Republic of Vietnam. Self-immolation, a form of protest in which one sacrifices themselves, usually with fire, has returned, and has brought with it a multitude of issues.

freedoms (Rifai). It began with the day that Mohamed Bouazizi, a vegetable vendor, ignited himself in protest and the day President Ben Ali stepped down and fled to Saudi Arabia after finding himself unable to quell the people’s anger.

His greed is at the root of the Jasmine Revolution, and it is this kind of thoughtless and avaricious leadership that causes conflict in the Middle East. Ben Ali was a corrupt
