If current trends continue, by 2050 … The number of Muslims will nearly equal the number of Christians around the world. Atheists, agnostics and other people who do not affiliate with any religion – though increasing in countries such as the United States and Fra...
Capital Punishment The adherents of the death penalty refer to public safety. Still, even though violent criminals are locked away from the society forever, there is also another possibility for the inmate to escape the full punishment. However proving whether one is guilty or not is a very complicated and time-consuming process. From an ethical perspective, the death penalty is, undoubtedly, a violation of human rights. Most death penalty critics charge that it is particularly barbaric when applied to mentally retarded people and juvenile delinquents. In this case, capital punishment looks like senseless cruelty. A number of states had already passed legislation adopted by the Supreme Court in June 2002 prohibiting such executions to this group of people. As for juvenile delinquents, we should admit their lack of maturity thus they may be less culpable than adults who commit crimes. ...

Rakuteooria ametlikuks sünniajaks loetaks aastaid 1838-1839. Šoti botaanik Robert Brown (1773–1858) oli esimene, kes vaatles orhidee lehti ja kirjeldas rakutuuma kui rakkude olulist komponenti (1831). 1838.a. ütles botaanik Matthias Jakob Schleiden (1804-1881) välja, et taime kõik osad koosnevad rakkudest või nende produktidest. Järgmisel aastal tehti samasugune järeldus ka loomorganismide kohta Theodor Schwanni (1810-1882) poolt. Schleideni ja Schwanni järeldused loetaksegi rakuteooria formuleeringuks. Kolmas mees, kelle nime rakuteooria loomise juures samuti mainitakse, on Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902). Tema väitis, et "niisamuti kui loomad tekivad vaid loomadest ja taimed taimedest, peab ka raku tekkimiseks olema temale eelnev rakk". Ehk lühidalt: rakk tekib rakust (omnis cellula e cellula). See teooria rõhutas elusorganismide ühtsust ning tõi esile kontseptsiooni elusorganismidest kui rakkude kooslustest. Koos evolutsiooniteooriga on r...
Agoraa – akropoli läheduses asuv koosoleku- ja turuplats, mille ümber paiknesid templid ja linnaelanike majad. Homerose ajal oli agoraa vabade kodanike rahva-, kohtu- ja sõjaväekogunemine, hiljem kogunemiskoht ise. Reeglina paiknesid agoraa ääres Kreeka polise ametiasutuste hooned, templid ja kauplused. Agoraa oli enamasti põhiplaanilt ristkülikukujuline ning alates klassikalisest ja hellenismi ajastust ümbritsetud sammaskäikudega ehk stoadega. Sissepääsu agoraale tähistas väravaehitis ehk propüleed. Kuulsaim agoraa on 1931. aasta väljakaevamistel põhjalikult läbiuuritud akropolise lähedal asuv Ateena agoraa. Akadeemia – Platoni asutatud filosoofiline kool Ateena lähedal, mis tegutses 385 eKr – 529 pKr. Kool sai nime oma asupaika järgi Ateena Hekademeia-nimelises hiies, millele omakorda andis nime heeros Akademos. Hekademeia oli pühapaik, mida lisaks Akademosele on seostatud ka Dioskuuride ning Dionysose kultusega. Plato...
