Human Rights Abuses Military Dictatorship
1,814 words
Between 1976 and 1983, under military rule,
thousands of people in Argentina were arrested and
then vanished without a trace. This campaign
became known to Argentina and abroad as the "Dirty
War." Seized by force against their will, the
victims no longer existed as citizens. Nobody knew
who exactly were responsible for their abductions
or even why they had been abducted. Under a policy
called the "Process of National Reorganization",
successive juntas waged war against armed
guerrillas and unarm...

individuals and the imprisonment of hundreds of
others. However, instead of focusing on just the
unpleasant images of the witch...

Global Positioning System Air Traffic
1,060 words
It has been estimated that air traffic will double
within the next ten years. Maintaining our current
accident rate, with double the traffic, would
mathematically lead to twice as many accidents as
we currently experience every year. That prospect
is unacceptable (UK and International Press).
There has been obvious growing concern with our
airspace due to the anticipated expected growth in
air traffic in the years to come. These concerns
are not unwarranted with technology increasing at
a furiou...

Is our negative branding of narcissism a defense
against a demanding call of the soul to be loved?
Narcissism is the egotistic sense of
self-importance, but paradoxically underneath this
attitude, the narcissist is simply a victim of a
fragile low self-esteem. It is the underlying
sense of inferiority that is the real problem of
the narcissist, and their pretense is just a
disguise used to cover their deeper feelings of
inadequacy. Since narcissists are often incapable
of asserting genuine self-...

Women In Ancient Times From Matriarchy To Patriarchy

Images of women, mostly figurines of the same type
as the 'Venus' of Willendorf , Lespugue and
Laussel (old statuettes representing obese women,
women whose wombs and hips are extremely
exaggerated) all dating to the Paleolithic period,
far outnumber images of men. This has lead to
speculation about the place of women in Stone Age
society. Some have argued that these female
figures denote the existence during this period of
a prominent female deity identified usually as the
Earth Mother or the M...
