From this perspective, the primary concern is not to rec - ognize that property ownership flows from mixing one’s la - bor with the earth, as is sometimes argued following Locke, but to recognize instead the significance of someone’s
confirmed the events of that night: two hikers found two dead bodies at Camper Creek on the West Coast Trail on the sixth of May 1998. The article didn’t say who the hikers were, nor did it say who the dead Native Americans were, for what would the world do with those four meaningless names? None of the four was famous, beautiful, or rich: just normal people drawn together on one particular night.

unscrew race from its foundational wall mountings” (p. 752). CWS offers the space and structure to do so. It is in the conception of race as socially constructed, shifting over time, built on difference and positionality, that can cause one to wonder how so much power or lack thereof could be based on one’s appearance or phenotype. Who is white and who is not has become the foundation that racism is built on, supported by prejudice and implicit bias that is taught from birth in both knowing and
Science has always been about analyzing the hard facts in front of you, even if they might be invisible to the naked eye. Sizable leaps in our understanding about the mechanisms of life and our universe are in the process of being made with scientists believing black holes are the major precipice to these greater understandings.

Richard said: “…but I’m not half a quarter so strong as I was in England, and all is for want of victuals, for I doe protest unto you, that I have eaten more in a day at home than I have allowed me here for a week…” and this
horrors of the world. I, like many other authors, also had an experience concerning language and how it changed my perspective of the world. Speaking Chinese and Vietnamese as my first languages in the United States made me run into societal barriers and restrictions.

Slavery in the Chocolate Industry Introduction The forced labour of children in the Ivorian cocoa farms is at a distance from the glamourised candy producers such as Mars and Nestlé, and a universe away from the day-to-day consumers of chocolate. That such a quixotic market shares a commonality with the more exposed diamond market, for example, whose implication in the sale and involvement of guns in tribal cleansing has long been documented, drives home the reminder that our modern prosperity
