Ukraine refugee crisis: warning that “millions may flee West” – BBC News

It’s no secret that our society has changed over the centuries. It was once dominated completely by white males who ruled with inequality over women. Although we may think of slavery as pertaining to African Americans, women were also basically enslaved. In a society that expected that all women marry, few chose to remain single. Once they were married they found that they had sold themselves to the men. They weren’t allowed to own property. Even their children only belonged to their husbands. Divorce for a woman was almost unheard of, because from then on she would be ostracized and alone.

Asylum seeking has increased to the extent that the UN Convention on Refugees and related national policies need to be critically re-examined for relevance in modern times, and revised. Asylum seeking seems to be a well organised racket, with opportunistic economic immigrants using back door entry, as distinct from the front door entry available to selected immigrants, specified family members, and accepted refugees Key policy issues are involved in asylum policy, including national security, geo-politics, and the ability of the refugee to contribute to, and integrate into, the host nation.

Women in rural India has constantly been abused, and various groups including the government tried to step in to help. But none was more effective that a common household appliance, the television.

The altruism we thought we knew deep in our hearts was beautiful like a myth, so grand yet so false. The Ultimatum game explored altruism in the experimental sense. This time, we go deeper to witness “altruism” in our normal reality.

The Supreme Court has abused its power by going beyond interpreting and actually writing law. Activist judges have warped the original meaning of our constitution to satisfy clamoring special interest groups in our society.

If we believe a gay person is homosexual by choice, we must also believe all humans are heterosexual and can choose to remain so or not. If this is so, then all heterosexuals are as capable of having same sex desires as all homosexuals have and vice versa. Can this be? Unlikely.

Everywhere we look in society we see forms of symbolic representation which identify and illustrate our cultural ethos. Symbols that we use, as distinct from signs, carry multiple meanings depending on the context and culture in which they appear.

Altruism is widely recognised as a human trait. Using scientific, economic approaches in experimentation, we debunk altruism as a myth.

I will attempt to write this article in as objective a manner as I can. This would not seem like a formidable challenge if it were not for the fact that I am gripped with an intense indignation regarding this topic. There is a good chance that you have heard or seen a sign advertising the “bodies” exhibition.

The other day, I was speaking with an acquaintance and they brought up a very good point, and that was; what if the Islamic World had a renaissance which exploded with culture, new freedoms, art, and the advances of science? Consider if you will that the Middle East has a net inflow of global monies for oil and resources. Consider that the Middle Easterners make very good businessmen (and women), and more and more folks are becoming highly educated.

Many folks still believe racial tension should be the number one priority to fix in our nation, and yet, I think I disagree. Why you ask, well because we have a Black President of the United States now, and he might even be re-elected, thus, it would be pretty hard to charge the US citizenry as racist or that we have a strong racial divide or unconquerable racial tensions in this great nation. Now, I realize that others may indeed disagree with my stance here, but let me explain some more of my thinking on this.

Some of my dear friends really cringe when I compare human societies, social networks, and the US Congress to great ape societies and chimpanzee troops. And, you being a human reading this might have some swear words for me when you are done reading this, however, you know you have to keep reading to satisfy your curiosity, which indeed, only proves my point that you are a lot like your nearest cousins. Okay so let’s talk.
