Is Education the Key for Global Empowerment? Unlike what is the case in the US, globally primary education is far from a guarantee. Every year millions of children are going uneducated, stripping the intellectual capacity of many impoverished nations. No segment of the global population does this more acutely effect than girls.

David Logan in his famous TED segment discuses about the five tribes that human beings belong. Unlike the Indian caste system, where each one of the traditional Indian caste members cannot progress to a higher level, D. Logan suggests that as humans we have the ability to advance to a higher level, level five being the best (Pruthi, 2004). Intricate details outline how each member of different levels is unique with own ideas and perspective in life. End goal is being a member of a level five tribe

mankind as a whole does not change its ways we will ruin our one and only planet that is suitable to sustain life. In Warm, Warmer, Warmest an article by Nicholas D. Kristof argues that that “stopping global warming should be the paramount struggle of our time”(Warmer). While researching this topic I used multiple resources to better understand what Nicholas Kristof is explaining in his article. I first looked at a government run website that helped explain global warming and how it is affecting us today

In Diplomacy, authored by Henry Kissinger, the lack of respect to the differing the balance of power principles in separate countries of europe Europe, the bullying strategies by Germany, the poor diplomatic alliances of Germany, Austria, France, Britain and Russia, and the lack of understanding of differing Military policies by Germany all lead to the Doomsday Machine. The Doomsday Machine was made up of all the actions that resulted in the ripping apart of the diplomatic alliances, with each alliance

dangerously behind their western neighbors, ultimately making it easy for other countries to attach and invade. At that point, Russia knew it was time for a change and it started with Tsar Alexander II. Alexander II took over as emperor due to his fathers (Nicholas I) death in St. Petersburg. Some say the reason for Russia’s backward spiral was because of him. However, in 1855 the reign of Alexander II in Russia began and during his time he directed a period of political and social reforms. Some of the reforms

In 1905 a series demonstration, strikes and disorders were reported from all of the country, which originally stemmed from the way in which the government poorly handled the Putilov strike led by Father Gapon which resulted in the event known as Bloody Sunday. Arguably if the tsarist government had handled the Putilov strike more shrewdly the series of strikes, riots, assassinations naval mutinies and peasant outbreaks may not have ensued in the coming months, or with so army participating. The

In February 1917, Russia was plunged into a Revolution that would shape the future of the country in unbelievable ways. It has been argued over the years that it was the weak leadership of Tsar Nicholas II that was the main cause of the outbreak of the revolution that took place in February and March of 1917. However, there are differing opinions on that statement. Many say that it was due the military defeats experienced by the country over the years that caused the citizens to revolt. Others say

than just the political nature of Russia during the time of World War I. The Tsarina found herself struggling with finding a balance between the Russian distrust due to her lineage, her struggle to produce an heir, and finding her place with Tsar Nicholas II away at the front. In a time when the Romanov family was the center of distrust, the German princess found herself conflicted between her strong religious beliefs, Russian patriotism, and her desire to protect Russian aristocracy in order to provide

Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the ruling Tsar for 23 years, once said: “There is no justice among men.” (BrainyQuote,2017). Nicholas II was the famous last Tsar of Russia when he abdicated power to the Provisional Government in 1917. The Russian Revolution was a catalyst for major world events and changes that took place in the 20th century. Tsar Nicholas II of Russia was only 26 years old when he took the throne from his father, Alexander III of Russia (Newworldencyclopedia.org, 2017). There was

worshipped as a god-like being, similar to that of the autocratic Tsars who ruled before him through the use of propaganda and censorship. Although there are some similarities between the quality of life for Russia’s people under the reign of Tsar Nicholas II and Joseph Stalin, the differences are significant. Therefore, there is considerable evidence to support that notion that Joseph Stalin was essentially a red Tsar P1 – “How did the Tsar rule during the imperial age in Russia?” Imperial Russia
