IN MY PURSUIT OF SOCIETAL TRANSFORMATION I FOUND THIS! GOOD MORNING *Biography of Thomas Sankara: A Rare Brand of Leadership in Africa* Thomas Sankara was Burkina Faso’s president from August 1983 until his assassination on October 15, 1987. Perhaps, more than any other African president in living memory, Thomas Sankara, in four years, transformed Burkina Faso from a poor country, dependent on aid, to an economically independent and socially progressive nation. Thomas Sankara began by purging

From merely shaking two-celled embryos of a sea urchin to human embryonic stem cells being created by somatic cell nuclear transfer, genetic modifications continue to improve. In 1885, Hans Adolf Edward Dreisch, found that he could get two sea urchins by shaking the two-celled embryos. After this discovery the progression of genetic modifications led to the conflictions concerning the ethics of this process. Too much time and money has already been wasted on cloning. Human cloning, and those

France Causes Financial Fret In the western world the terms president, and prime minister means, for lack of a better term, the head of a country, the difference is that between Canada and the United States they have one or the other. Back in the Eastern world of Western Europe, France was the first major European country to adopt a semi-presidential system giving them both a prime minister and a president to oversee it all (Allen et al. 109). This is accomplished by giving the president the power

How the French Presidential Elections will Affect the Entire World After rejecting the two major political parties in the first round, the French voters will choose their new president. What will the election result mean for the world? After the Brexit results in the UK and Trump’s election in the US, France is next to face the challenge of elections on May the 7th for their second round. Debating the subject is William Callanan, 45, an American citizen living in Britain for the last 15 years and

Tarzra Jones Period 4/ AP Lang Ms. Roos February 1, 2010 Why the Islamic Face veil should not banned There has been debates about whether the Islamic face veil should be banned in countries. The arguments that governments of countries that have banned the Muslim face veil (France, Syria, Netherlands, Spain, and Belgium) argue that the full-face veil is oppressive, degrading towards women, and goes against values of each country. However, many Muslim women believe otherwise and strongly

Since 1962 when the referendum on the Direct Election of the President of the French Republic took place, the President was to be chosen by the people through universal suffrage instead of by the electoral college like it has been before. But the changes in French politics were far from over. During September 2000, the French voters had to make a very important decision that would forever change the nature of French politics. They were to decide if a constitutional amendment should be considered

Psychoanalytical criticism is a form of literary critique, which uses some of the techniques of psychoanalysis in the interpretation of literature. One of the more prevalent Psychoanalytical theorists after Freud was Jacques Lacan. In his text, “The Signification of the Phallus,” asserts that the idea of both sexes are based on the male “being” and the female “having” the phallus, and these two differences determine the relations between the sexes while also bringing them together. For Lacan, the

Avis rara I’m proud to be a heterosexual. There. I said it. The outburst was stuck in my throat, I must confess, since Tim Cook, Apple’s super CEO post-Steven Jobs found it in his best interest to declare in public his sexual orientation. I was looking forward to declare mine too, even considering that because of the sexual-confessional content of my first novel, it would hardly come as a surprise. I lie, or at least, I soften it up. Such outburst has been stuck in my throat for much longer, since

Jacques Lacan and Louis Althusser, post-structuralist philosophers and intellectual theorists, have expanded the confines of the human subject (Pauker). Addressing it from opposite academic disciplines they deal with many similar topics however expressed in different ways. As each independently discusses the self awareness of the human subject, many ties can be formed between these two theorists, both arguing that a subject is misrecognized and constructed differently to the traditional Cartesian
