For and against globalization. "One world, one language, one currency, one religion, one law, and equality" is the motto of globalization. To end globalization we must end as soon as possible all trading barriers that are between the different countries. We must send our products to all markets and make sure that all the markets are going to be affected. If all markets are connected with each other then they will start to compete and that removes inefficient producers. Furthermore it will rise the quality of products higher and reduces their cost.

Space exploration should be a priority Since the beginning of time people have wondered about what's really hidden behind the clouds and what goes on there. Before people had the technology to study space, they tried to make sense of the universe with the help of religion. Luckily thanks to the great interest in the subject, the first manned spaceflight happened on April 12, 1961 by the Soviet Union, with cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin aboard. Travelling in space could become very important and useful for people on earth in case something happens to our planet. Many things could happen since humans are taking advantage of earth's natural resources like oil and building dangerous factories that produce toxic waste. With space travel we could find

experiences with other origins people, because they aren't used to it. When they see, for example, a black-skinned person ,they start whispering.However, people who grew up in countries with wide diversity, are much more tolerant. They meet different origins and skin colours every day. Different cultures make the country interesting place to live.They can introduce their customs and culture to others and in time the cultures blend and become one. Different people have dissimilar religion.They believe according to their beliefs. Usually people follow their religion and do not tolerate other beliefs. Such behavior may cause conflicts between the people with different religions. Even if we don't have other nations in our country, we'd be affected by the media, so we'll still use English words in our everyday talk and so on.Different nations should accept each others culture, language and traditions. Then it would not be that hard to live side by side.

farmland and French fur traders had forts, which they refused to move. By 1758, the British had conquered the French fortress of Louisbourg at the entrance of the St. Lawrence River. This was the beginning of the end for French rule in North America. In September 1759, the British attacked the French on the Plains of Abraham and won. The following spring they also conquered Montreal. The British renamed the new French-speaking region Quebec. They allowed the French to keep their Roman Catholic religion, civil law system and language, so that they would not try to break away from Britain. From 1775 to 1784, many British came to the former New France area from south. The people in American colonies were fighting for independence and those people who fled north were the one who wanted to remain loyal to Britain (United Empire Loyalists). Britain created two new colonies: New Brunswick and Upper Canada. New Brunswick was created in 1784. Upper Canada became part of Quebec in 1791

There are over 6000 different languages in the world and each language comes with a different culture. Because of our ability to remember, humans are able to transmit information from generation to generation. Humans know their history, because we remember what we have created. Our world-view is more than what is seen to the eye. Homo sapiens is a developing species. Our body has changed and so has our mind. We understand concepts like time (past, present, future), religion, philosophy and moral behaviour. A human is curious, asks questions and finds answers. Unlike animals, we are conscious of our inner thoughts, desires and sensations and have the ability not to follow our instincts. The knowledge we have is used to make our world more controllable. The structure of our society is difficult and widely controlled by economy, politics, science and technology. Our lives do not depend on nature, we have created our own artificial world and we are proud to
Tolerance and diversity First of all I had to pose myself a question what does tolerance mean to me? I came to the conclusion that for me it means accepting people the way they are- not caring about their appearance, orign, religion, attitude or skin coulor, even if their beliefs and thoughts are not just the same as mine. I think that every one of us should pay respect to other people. I find it interesting to learn about other cultures and how they live. Estonia is a culturally diverse society. It is home to approximately 1,4 million people and not all of them are Estonians. Beside us consider Estonia as their home: Russians, Ukranians, Belorussian, Jews, Tatars, Germans and Poles - among of many others. They

Mida tähendab numbrikombinatsioon 666? Piibli vastus Nagu on näha Piibli viimasest raamatust, on numbrikombinatsioon 666 seitsme pea ja kümne sarvega metsalise arv ehk nimi (Ilmutus 13:1,17, 18). See merest tõusev metsaline sümboliseerib kõiki inimvalitsusi, kellel tervikuna on ,,võim kõigi suguvõsade ja hõimude ja keelte ja rahvaste üle" (Ilmutus 13:7). Nimi 666 viitab sellele, et inimvalitsused on Jumala silmis täielikult ebaõnnestunud. Miks võib seda öelda? Tegu pole tühipalja nimega. Jumala antud nimedel on tähendus. Näiteks lubas Jumal Aabramile, kelle nimi tähendab ,,ülendatud isa", et ta teeb tema ,,paljude rahvaste isaks". Seetõttu muutis ta tema nime Aabrahamiks, mis tähendab ,,rahvahulga isa" (1. Moosese 17:5, UM allmärkused). Samamoodi andis Jumal metsalisele nime 666, mis läheb kokku tolle olemusega. Number kuus viitab ebatäiuslikkusele. Piiblis kasutatud numbritel on tihti sümboolne tähendus. Seitse tähistab tavaliselt täie...

Islam Ka islam on monoteistlik religion, nii nagu on Judaism ja kristlus, mis on rajatud usule Ainujumalasse. See tekkis 7. sajandil Koraani nime all tuntud tekstist, mis selle pooldajad usuvad olevat ilmutatud prohvet Muhamaadile. Selle usundi pooldajaid kutsutakse moslemiteks. Moslemid kasutavad oma Jumala, maailma ja kõige elava Looja poole pöördumisel sõna Allah, mis tähendab araabia keeles Jumal. Allah on moslemitele kogu universumi isand.

organizations have got jobs or scholarships more easily than those who have not. Firstly taking part actively in student organizations have given them many useful contacts and they have had mentors. Also secondly joining student organizations might provide help with students future careers and most of all it improves their social skills which causes personal and personality development. For example students on one student organization share similar interest, hobby or religion and it helps to network being in one group and supplementing each other.

The Republic of South Africa History The Republic of South Africa is a country located at the southern tip of Africa, with a 2,798 kilometres coastline on the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Modern humans have inhabited Southern Africa for more than 100,000 years. In 1652 the Dutch East India Company founded a refreshment station at what would become Cape Town. The discovery of diamonds and later gold triggered the conflict known as the Anglo-Boer War, as the Boers and the British fought for the control of the South African mineral wealth. Although the Boers were defeated, the British gave limited independence to South Africa in 1910 as a British dominion. South Africa contains some of the oldest archaeological sites in the world.

Strong eye contact is not overly common among strangers and casual acquaintances, too much eye contact is considered and invasion of privacy. Eye contact is used when one really wants to make a point, when speaking with close friends, and when interest in a person or topic wants to be stressed. Bad Topics of Discussion: politics, religion, and sex. Also the common American question "what do you do?" is considered rude and too personal.

other? After all, the construction of the mosque wouldn't even be funded by tax-payers. In addition, most of us don't oppose the building of churches, even though Estonia is currently the 3rd least religious country on the planet. Many people fear that the building of a mosque would open a door for Islamic radicalization in Estonia. I for one, find that very hard to believe since the main cause of radicalization is not religion, but the feeling of exclusion. The feeling of not being wanted within society.

KREETA-MÜKEENE KULTUUR Kreeka ajaloo varaseim periood oli nn Kreeka-Mükeene ajajärk II aastatuhandel eKr. Kreeta saarel Egeuse mere lõunaosas kujunes siis omapärane kõrgkultuur, mis kandus aastatuhande keskpaiku ka Kreeka maismaale, omandades seal uusi jooni. Nii jaguneb Egeuse ehk Kreeka- Mükeene kultuur omavahel tihedalt seotud, kuid teatud mõttes siiski ka erinevateks osadeks minoiliseks ehk Minose kultuuriks Kreeta saarel ja hilisemaks Mükeene kultuuriks Kreeka mandril. Kreeklased ei ole Kreeka põlisasukad. Kreeklaste saabumisel elas seal juba mingi tundmatu rahvas. Umbes 2000 a eKr jõudis see rahvas Kreeta saarel oma arengus tsivilisatsiooni tasemele. Hilisem kreeka mütoloogia seostas seda eelkõige legendaarse Kreeta kuninga Minose valitsemisega, millest see ongi Minose kultuuri nime saanud. Minoiline kultuur hõlmas aastaid 2000-1400 eKr. Kreetalastel oli küll oma kiri, nn lineaarkiri A, kuid peamiselt tuntakse seda perioodi ar...

General facts Tennessee is a state located in the Southern United States. In 1796, it became the sixteenth state to join the Union. The capital city is Nashville, and the largest city is Memphis. Tennessee has 95 counties. The earliest variant of the name that became Tennessee was recorded by Captain Juan Pardo, the Spanish explorer, in 1567 while traveling inland from South Carolina. History The area now known as Tennessee was first settled by Paleo-Indians nearly 11,000 years ago. When Spanish explorers first visited the area (led by Hernando de Soto) in 15391543, it was inhabited by several tribes (Muscogee, Yuchi people). As European colonists spread into the area, the native populations were displaced to the south and west. Many battles were fought in the state, for example in 1862 and 1863. Symbols The official state flag of Tennessee was adopted on the 17th of April in 1905. The three white stars in the center symbolize the thre...
Britain forced them to leave and some because of the opportunity , which did not exist for them in Europe, to own land or practice a trade. But there were also reasons, which had great influence on the shaping of the political system of the USA. For example, William Penn, a member of the Religious Society of Friends, was granted a large tract of land by King James II. There Penn founded the colony of Pennsylvania, where he set up laws protecting freedom of religion and speech. People fleeing persecution in Europe eagerly settled in the colony. Men like Penn set an example which helped spread democratic ideals and practice throughout the colonies. As time passed, the colonists began to present the governing power that Britain exercised over them. In 1774, a group of leaders from the colonies met and formed the Continental Congress, which informed the king of the colonists' belief that they should have a voice in determining laws that affected them

As a young boy, Mussolini would spend time helping his father in his blacksmithing it was likely here that he was exposed to his father's significant political beliefs. The conflict between his parents about religion meant that, unlike most Italians, Mussolini was not baptised at birth and would not be until much later in life. However, as a compromise with his mother, Mussolini was sent to a boarding school run by Salesian monks. Mussolini was rebellious and was expelled after a series of behavior related incidents, including throwing stones at the congregation after Mass, stabbing a fellow student in the hand and throwing an inkpot at a teacher.
