The Evolution of SingaporeHow May Singapore's Meritocracy Evolve? While meritocracy has been trumpeted as a cornerstone of the Singapore's rise from Third World to First, its internal contradiction has reared its ugly head in recent years. As identified by Dr. Kenneth Paul Tan, the 'winners and losers' result of meritocracy widens income inequality and results in social stratification where an exclusive elite class perpetuates itself at the top through opportunity hoarding. It is difficult to dispute that meritocracy's principle of non-discrimination may precisely be unfair because it denies recognition of what may be "unfair advantages from the very beginning"1, such as unequal wealth and social status. This renders equal opportunity "a naive expectation that can no longer advance beyond mere platitude"2. Further, the social ill of elitism is evident, capped by various controversies such as a British expatriate's diatribe on public transport commuters as "poor" and the publi |

Also, rugby is a nonstop game with no breaks (unless there's a timeout). While football has a stop between each play. There are many other details to each of these two sports that make them different but at the same time alike. Their differences, however, cause rugby to be a tougher sport. The sport rugby came first. It was invented by a man named William Ellis in 1823 (Rugby History, 2012). He was playing a game of soccer and instead of kicking the ball he ran to the endzone, disobeying the rules of soccer and starting the new sport rugby.

The Dystopian Society of George OrwellThe novel "1984," by George Orwell, is a well-crafted story of a dystopian society. By definition, dystopia means an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded society. To live in a dystopian society means to be completely mind controlled by the government into believing that what they say is true is actually true. Orwell portrays an amazing example of such a governmental control in the novel "1984", by creating the government system famously known as Big Brother. Big Brother itself is actually just a figurehead created to represent the group known as the Party. It is meant to put fear into society so that they do as their told and refrain from committing transgressions against the Party, which is exemplified in the slogan "Big Brother is watching you." There are two parts to the party, the Inner Party and the Outer Party. The Inner Party is the highest class in the civilization k |

Allowing Homosexuals in the Boy ScoutsFor over 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has shaped millions of young boys into men who make ethical and moral decisions and are meaningful members of society. It is the largest youth organization in the United States, serving millions of boys every year and there are scouting organizations in 120 countries. The mission of the Boy Scouts of America, or BSA, is "to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law." Since its founding, the BSA's policy has stated that no scouts or adult leaders shall be members of the Boy Scouts of America if they are homosexual, a policy that for years has gone unchanged. Over the course of the last two decades, the policy has been under fire from several human rights groups and discussions began as to whether the policy should be changed. This was shown in the 2000 Supreme Court case Boy Scouts of America v. Dale that ruled that the BSA had the right to |

After two siblings believe each other to be dead, Viola, the sister of the two, decides to disguise herself as a man and work under the authority of Duke Orsino.

In this film adaptation, Viola dresses as a man in order to replace her brother at boarding school and compete on the men's soccer team.

Living A Double Life in A Doll's HouseIn literature, a psychoanalytical perspective examines the motives of the characters in a story or play, the author or playwright, and the impression left on the reader. When emotions, subconscious desires and thoughts, and internal struggles run amuck they can drive a person to do things they would not ordinarily do. In Henrick Ibsen's play, A Doll's House, the main character Nora Helmer finds herself facing these challenges as her "perfect" life turns upside down and she discovers that even actions made with the best of intentions can have drastic consequences, and secrets can only remain secrets for so long. The title A Doll's House is symbolic of Nora Helmer's life, first as her father's living doll, then her husband's. She lived in a world of feigned reality where she was a figurine placed wherever her husband or father wanted her to be, and told how she should feel, think, and act. No one took her seriously, or thought of her as anything more than a child. Naturally |

Alternate Ending to IphigeniaEvery living object on this Earth is ultimately destined to die at some point. Whether it be a plant, a deer, or a human, its life will certainly come to an end. This is the circle of life, as some would describe it. When one object dies on this earth, there is room for another to be born. Sometimes the situation will be out of will, but that is not the case with me. My fate was pretty much decided to end in a very unfortunate matter, and my father would be the reason behind it. As much of a sad, miserable tale this may sound, I graciously acknowledged it. I indeed accepted this fate. My name is Iphigenia from Mycenae and in order to tell my story properly, I must start from the very beginning. It was about a month before the disturbing news had been heard. Helen, King Menelaus's wife, ran away with Paris, a Trojan citizen. King Menelaus was my father, King Agamemnon's, brother. When he learned about this surprising news, nothing held my father and his brother back into invading Tr |

Nuclear Power Plants and ReactorsPower reactors are typically found in nuclear power plants. Dedicated to generating heat mainly for electricity production, they are worked in more than 30 countries around the world. Their lesser uses are drinking water or district water production. In smaller units, they also power ships. In the U.S currently these reactors provide an estimated of 20 % of electrical energy. In these reactors, the fission of heavy atomic nuclei, the most used of which is uranium-235, produces heat changing to a fluid which acts as a coolant. Fission is the process in which heavy nucleus divides to form smaller nuclei of intermediate mass and one or more neutrons. In the fission process, bond energy is released and this becomes as the kinetic energy of the fission products generated and that of the neutrons being released, and then the kinetic energy turns into heat energy. There are many different types of power reactors. Three types are the main features of them. The first type is, Light Water Rea |

Parent Separation and the Impact on ChildrenI was a child that came from parents who were separated, it affected my wellbeing. I had trouble getting along with others in school, and I still have problems trusting people, because I have the fear of them leaving me just like my parents. The child is affected with loss from the parent, fear of losing another parent, anger towards both parents about the relationship breakdown, constant worry about causing the parent's separation, guilt towards the separation, rejection, insecurity and torn between both parents (Divorce or Separation of Parents). The child's response to the separation may be worse depending on the age of the child, level of understanding, and support from family and friends (Rogers, B., & Pryor, J.). If a couple separates and has one or more children together, the children suffer from social, emotional, and physical problems (Divorce or Separation of Parents). A child needs to have both parents in its life (Rogers, B., & Pryor, J.). A child that is separated from on |

Drug Decriminalization in PortugalThe decriminalization of drugs is a wise alternative to the current policy on drug for number of reasons: Decriminalization would aid of government in maintaining a more balanced, peaceful and safe environment. People all over the world present ideas about how to reduce drug use. Most believe that harsh punishment will lead to a reduction in drugs trafficked, as well as related criminal activity. Others believe that one should have a choice to possess drugs if he or she pleases. The DEA, "Drug Enforcement Agency" states that "legalizing drugs such as marijuana, ecstasy heroin, or amphetamines would be like trying to extinguish a fire with napalm, it would simply make matter worse". Essential this is saying that, users and dealers wouldn't suddenly start abiding by the law. This would lead to an increase in underaged users buying, and using illegal substances, as well as an increase in corruption of society. On the contrary it might very well be worth the risk of re |

Russia and the West Post 1991A bogy of the Cold War revival or its complete comeback is commonly a matter of a public discourse, triggering many different experts to take part in this issue. Is it really possible that the status quo from 80s and the revival of the Cold War is a fact? Or maybe the political reality, nowadays, has nothing in common with the situation from few decades back? In this essay I would like to take a closer look to that issue and make an effort to answer the questions above.1 To appropriately understand the subject being here discussed, one has to go far back of the historical processes. A conflict between USSR and the USA which was the very beginning of the Cold War was not only a military one but rather ideological contest between the systems: communism and capitalism. The apogee of the conflict so-called "Cold War" is set in 80s and Ronald Reagan's challenge towards the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.2 The tension grew and was caused by imposed on Moscow arms race, common |

Fictional Autobiographical Narrative - PipI remembered it was an evening when I'm still young that I first met my love, Estella. Under the hot sunshine, I was standing in front of Miss Havisham's house but I am very nervous. Mr. Pumblechook only told me that Miss Havisham is an old woman and that is the only information I know about her. After a few minutes, a young woman named Estella opened the gate and let me in. She was so pretty that made me love her at first sight. Her attractiveness acts like a magical magnet pulling me toward her. At that moment, I was thinking that, "I could spend the rest of my life with you." In the dark house, there was a scary hallway and we could only see clear by candles. Surprisingly, Estella left me alone in front of a door at the end of the hallway. I knocked and was let in. That was my first time to meet Miss Havisham. Then, this willowy, yellowed woman had shocked me because she was dressed in an old, weird wedding gown that is creepy. I thought that this dress was actually beauti |

A Well Regulated Militia by Saul CornellA Well Regulated Militia by Saul Cornell elaborately describes the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. The Second Amendment is one of the most important laws enacted to protect the right of people of the United States. It gives the people the right to protect themselves, their families and their properties, as well as allowing citizens to arm themselves, so they can take part in a well-regulated militia.

Cornell is the author of this book and he demonstrates that both sides are not accurate in their opinion of the law. He discusses how the gun control war t |

Facts About the Country HaitiHaiti is about 10,714 square miles big and is about the same size of Massachusetts. It is located on the island known as Hispaniola in the middle of the Caribbean sea where Haiti takes up the western 1/3 of the island and the Dominican Republic takes up the eastern 2/3. Haiti was inhabited by the indigenous Taino people, and later, it was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1942. Columbus' ship Santa Maria sank on the north side of what is now Haiti. The Spanish quickly learned that Hispaniola was not rich in gold, but a place they converted to be a farming source for them. African slaves were imported to Hispaniola as early as 1504 to labor the sugar, coffee, and tobacco crops. The Spanish started losing interest in Hispaniola and in the 17th century, French pirates purchased Haiti from the Spanish and this is when the island of Hispaniola was divided into two countries. For the next 100 years, Haiti was becoming one of the wealthiest countries in the world with the cheap slave la |

Fighting to Stop GenocideGenocide is an unacceptable concept anywhere in the world, which needs to be put to an end. Throughout the twentieth century there were forty million individuals were killed during some sort of Genocide. The vast majority of the world stood by and watched these genocides occur while millions of lives were being killed; the United States was one of those countries. The world had made a commitment after the Holocaust that genocide would never happen again, but there were three other large scale genocides that occurred after this commitment. The world just needs to figure out when state sovereignty will only go so far before they need to act. There are eight stages of genocide; the world just needs to find the right time to know when to act. There were several genocides that occurred throughout the twentieth century. There is the Armenian Genocide; this included the Turkish government trying to completely wipe out all of the Armenians within the Ottoman Empire. One of the most well-kno |

My Love for TravelMy dad comes into the room at 5 am and tells us that it's time. We rush to make sure that everything we need, or everything we think we need, is all packed and propped into the car. With my comfiest sweatpants on, I run up and down the stairs and listen to the bickering of my family members. "Celine come on we're always late because of you!" my dad would yell from downstairs as I rush upstairs, forgetting yet another thing. As everything is finally organized, we grab our tickets and passports and run out the door. The aroma of Manhattan Bagel coffee and breakfast slowly wakes my senses up and puts everyone in a better mood. As we ride on the freeway to the airport, I can barely contain my excitement for the adventures that will come. I didn't realize how much I appreciated traveling up until two years ago. Before, traveling just meant getting out of school and bringing nice souvenirs home for friends. But now traveling is about exploring cultures and values so different fro |

History and Controversy of the Contraceptive PillWomen and men have long endeavored many methods to avert pregnancy. Before modern methods of birth control, women depended on withdrawal or periodic abstinence. Unfortunately these methods have failed, although different routines for birth control medication were utilized, for example, the condom, the diaphragm, and the "rhythm" method. These practices were not totally dependable, and ladies who were utilizing these techniques were all the while having numerous kids without the goal to do as such. The oral contraceptive's effects were deeper than reducing family size. The Pill permitted ladies to have a sexual flexibility that they had not experienced any other time, and to pick their own way instructively and professionally. The Pill gave ladies an inclination of balanced self-enthusiasm, something that was principal in the women's activist and pro-choice movement in America.
