We like to think that Ireland has academic potential, because Irish people are poetic, veriloquent and hard-working. This should sum it up, but Trinity College Dublin exists. The colonialism of Trinity College at which the Book of Kells is still sponsored makes the superficial aspect of the university look appealing to the naked eye, but […]
As modern life begins to reflect on the War on Terror, the Batman vs Superman movie depicts contemporary civilization’s war on ignorance. What is ignorance? this movie asks us. Corruption? Capitalism? Democracy itself?! Social ignorance, philosophers write, concerns the dichotomy between postmodern hypocrisy about justice and human creativity about science.

Because of this every single psychological/psychiatrical study done cannot be repeated and yield the same results. This is called the power of attorney when there is no court order.

There are two separate ways in which this idea is rendered contentious. The first is right-wing ideology and the second is the left-wing ideology. In right-wing cultures politically mediated reference […]
Sexism refers to the social issue of discrimmination against a sex for reasons of sex. Gender inequality refers to social inequalities that are represented by a sex. Feminism holds the view that women in general are treated unfairly in society and that this discrimmination should be amended. The issue of gender inequality is often used […]
