The only thing they could trust would be their faith in Christianity. Due...

It is conceivable to characterize media imperialism as 'a concept that suggests an unequal relationship between nations, in which one tends to dominate another' (Schiller, 1991). However, to truly understand what media imperialism is, we would first need to define the terms 'media' and 'imperialism' separately. Media is difficult to define, but if we were to use the traditional definition, it is defined as 'the main means of mass communication (broadcasting, publishing, and the Internet) considered as a whole'. Essentially,...

As seen in the movie, when the Na’ vi’s realize what the sky-people are doing to their homeland, they seek...

Russia, not Germany, mobilized first. Serbia and Russia were backed by France and Britain during the resulting war which was Russia’s anticipated outcome. Although no one nation deserves all responsibility for the outbreak of war, Germany seems to me to deserve the most. It alone had the power to halt the descent to disaster at any time in July 1914 by withdrawing its “blank cheque” which offered support to Austria for its invasion of Serbia. Without Berlin’s encouragement of a...
