Indra replied, “Beauty attracts. That could be earthly and beyond it. “ Gautama continued the debate, “It is an infatuation in the name of attraction. What reflects divinity is the real beauty.” Viswamitra joined in, “Beauty not only attracts, it tempts the seekers to own it.” His opinion was probably from his own experience. Vashistha said,” Whatever infatuates is not real beauty. It is a malady instead. It is mere lust and greed.” Indra said, “Beauty is a symbol of the divine mystery. Hence, it

This little scene was written as a response to a fanfic meme where NN wished for a scene with the Master, River Song and spanking and FF River Song and something kinky. In effect this is a missing scene from Sliding Down the Razorblades of Life and follows directly after the second chapter, Mid-Term. However, you don’t have to read the fic, just keep in mind that the Master has just told River that if she slaps him one more time she will get a good spanking. Guess what her response to that is?

Organization’s Trade-Related IPRs, in order to expand their corporate profits on a global scale. (Shiva, Vandana. Stolen Harvest: The Hijacking of the Global Food Supply. Cambridge, MA: South End, 2000. Print. pp. 9-10) Under this trade agreement, Monsanto has been successful in patenting natural crop seeds and altering them in order to produce a higher crop yield.

For this week reading, I had the pleasure to read from the authors Karl Popper, Edward O. Wilson, and Vandana Shiva. Karl Popper, philosopher and author of Science as Falsification, believed the scientific method was made to seem quite easy to be placed yet mistaken due to claims of palm reading or astrology making a status in the field of science. Karl Popper says, " There was a lot of popular nonsense talked about these theories, and especially about relativity (as still happens even today)..."(Popper

the others. The untouchables are more definite. In north India only a very small number, doing scavenging or unclean work is considered untouchables. Fa-Hein tells us that when he visited the persons who removed human faces were untouchables. In south India, the numbers are much larger. How they began and grew to such numbers it is difficult to say. Probably those who were engaged in occupations considered unclean were so treated later landless agricultural labours may have been added" (Sharma, Nehru

Thirdly, Beaven and his family abstained from getting inside any form of transportation that release carbon into the environment which allowed him to enjoy the company of his family. Vandana Shiva’s self sustaining villages allows people to simply get up in the morning and go, since all of the resources they need such as food, laundry, and everything else will be found locally. There will be no need to commute from point A to point B for everyday living. By reducing the amount of time one spends

practices that help sustain human life on planet Earth, but the concept of sustainability is broad and applies to many disciplines. In my paper, I will be comparing sustainability from three different viewpoints; Michael Pollen’s, Andres Edwards’, and Vandana Shiva’s, and adding my own personal perspective. When people talk about sustainability, they usually categorize it into three main principles: economic, ecological, and social. Each has it’s own weight of importance. A sustainable society does not

for women. (Doc. 5, Doc. 7, Doc.8) Dr. Vandana Shiva stated that the Green Revolution had lead to reduced genetic diversity. The Guatemalan National Coordinating Committee of Indigenous Peasants said that the diversity of the native seeds was the heritage of the indigenous people at the service of all humanity, but the revolution sterilized and contaminated the seeds. They were upset to see the loss of their seeds. (Doc. 8, Doc. 10) Dr. Vandana Shiva also stated that the Green Revolution also

complaint from developing countries? Prominent environmental activist Vandana Shiva describes it as ‘intellectual and cultural rape’ and ‘the slavery of the new millennium’ (Shiva, 2002). More officially, the term biopiracy is defined as the commercial exploitation of natural occurring and biological products, without offering due compensation to the community from which is originates (Oxford University Press, 2014; Shiva, 1997). This is often done by claiming ‘exclusive ownership’ and exerting
