have tried to talk about what stood out to me, all quotations used for emphasis are from The myth of the continents: A critique of metageography (University of California Press: 1997). The very first thing we are taught about how the world is divided- before classifying it as first, second and third world or even simply North, East, West and South- is that it is divided into different continents. These different continents are then associated with different problems, cultures, and histories amoung

(2 Timothy 4:7). This week I attended my cousins wedding in Boston, Massachusetts, during this time I was asked many questions along the lines of “What are you going to do in college?” “What are you studying?” “Would you like some wine?” etc… At first it was really discouraging because I am only a freshman in highschool, I don’t know what I’m doing, but they want you to know. After answering all those questions (yes all of them, seriously) multiple times, I realized that i have grown and changed

international financial institution (IFI) which monitors the international financial system and provides loans to developing country member-states with balance-of-payments problems. (www.IMF.com) History of IMF The IMF was established in 1945, having first been conceived at the Bretton Woods Conference in New Hampshire, USA in 1944. That conference saw representatives from forty four allied nations gather to craft new rules and institutions to regulate the chaotic global economy – blamed for the Great

The “Third World” as a political project emerged out of Cold War rhetoric. It referred to a group of non-aligned countries that claimed to operate separately from the influences of the great powers. The movement represented the emergence of the Third World as a “self-conscious political grouping.” Solidarity was predicated upon common economic structures that were distinctive from both the Eastern block planned economies and the Western free market system (Smith, n.d: 17). The Third World as a political

Globalisation has become the general phenomenon around the world. It means increasing global relationships of culture, people, and economic activities. Moreover, the free trade between the countries is measured due to the implementation of globalization. It is a concept of viewing the whole world as a ‘global village.’ But today there is a controversial debate about the topic is globalization has been more harmful than beneficial and in this essay the argument is in the favour of the topic about

to outsource some of their manufacturing to countries like China or Vietnam for lower labor cost. Another example of globalization would be that car parts are manufactured overseas in places like Japan,Germany, or Korea and assembled in America. A third example of globalization is the Silk Road, which carried goods as well as ideas and culture all across India and parts of Asia. All of these examples show different ways in which goods or ideas spread all internationally and all over the world. Arguably

known as the Holocaust in which millions of Jews were killed. Maus tells the story of father who was a Polish Jew at the time of the Holocaust. Maus is also portrayed visually with high angle shots, low angle shots, curved lines, shadows and rule of thirds. Art Spiegelman drew his graphics in specific way, which was to grab the reader’s attention more to the pictures rather than the words because a photo can explain a thousand words. There are two underlining stories in Maus. One story is telling how

just live with it. This story was published in the year 1973; and looking at the history of what was going on in America at that time, it is impossible to say that Ursula 's writing wasn’t affected by the events occurring in that time period. The first wave feminist movement was prominent during the time, just as the Vietnam war was still being fought, as well as many technological and scientific changes occurring in the world. My argument is that Ursula wrote this story to combat the utilitarian

The discussion topic is referring to a controversial view of development discourse. Development means what ‘we’ can do for ‘them’, here ‘we’ denotes the first world countries or the west and ‘them’ refers to the developing countries. This essay will discuss the issue based on three different perspectives of three well-known references- The End of Poverty: How we can make it happen in our lifetime by Sachs (Sachs, 2005); The Bottom Billion by Collier (Collier, 2007) and Easterly’s The White Man’s
