Charitable Giving OnlineOn-line charities are a perfect place to see how people help the world, and inspire you to join a good cause. It isn't hard to see that a lot of people, animals, and the environment in general are being neglected in our world today. That's not to say that a lot of things haven't been improved over time as well.

Who owns the rain?Who owns the rain?  It's official. Greed is no longer cool. As turbocharged capitalism implodes and jobless queues swell, sensible governments have had to slip the bonds of laissez faire dogma to prop up their economies.

Unfettered global creditors have plunged much of the developed world into debt-bondage; these days, their enforcers, the International Monetary Fund and World Bank wield the structural re-adjustment stick with renewed vigor. And it ...

Africa - A poem for politicians Everywhere!How pious those politicians are, When up there on T.V. Saying that, all the things they do, They do for you and me.

I would rather all those millions, Helped with Human Rights. Did I ask to stockpile food in hangars, Until the price goes high. Why can't we send it, to Africa, Instead of ...

Should We Worry About Immigrant Assimilation and Education?B>Yes, they are important to our future! Many of tomorrow's workers and business owners are the children of today's immigrants. More than 40% of the growth of our labor force in the late 1990s was due to immigrants, and since immigration WILL continue, they are important to our future growth. A concern is certainly that many of today's Hispanic/Latino immigrants are uneducated and unskilled: this could mean that their children will not fit into our knowledge-based and high-tech economy. Often ...

Marx Without Marxism? A Study of Karl Marx as an InfluentialThe study of human political behavior raises numerous complexities. Although scientific in principle, it is not an exact science due to the unpredictability and changeability of human society. It not only revolves around factual matters but also answers to claims about how the world is and how it should be. It is often shaped by the social environment of its originator. All these factors however, do not disqualify it from the realm of science. Driven by the desire to analyze their environments, ...
