After the death of Khubulai Khan, the four uluses divided forming their own independent states. These four powers remained autonomous, until the territories internally began to divide and ultimately fall apart. The first of the khanates to collapse were the Yuan Dynasty and the Ilkhanid, while the Chagatai and the Golden Horde were able to stay in control relatively longer. It is most likely that these two uluses were the first to dissolve because Mongol steppe and traditional life never prospered in those regions, but rather these areas were allowed to maintain their old cultural identity (Morgan, 2007, p. 175).…

Working from within the Austrian paradigm, in 1912 Mises is the first one who apply marginal utility theory to money itself and his first major work is in The Theory of Money and Credit. He caused one of economics’ most contentious and clear debates a few years after his claim that central planning, regardless of its unfavorable on other fields, it was impossible to do successfully. Holding to this claim and being a certain and inflexible proponent of classical liberalism ruined Mises academic reputation for mention of his life.…

Another example of civic leadership is RaSia Khepra. RaSia Khepra, now in his 20s, was born to public health and sociology professor Dr. Lance Khepra and hair stylist and jewelry designer Kandase Khepra along with three sister and two brothers. Similar to Mother Theresa, at a young age RaSia knew he wanted to become a global leader. RaSia works hard, he is a principal scholar, honor roll student, and active athlete. Also, RaSia used to be homeschooled as a child where he and his family travelled to Ghana for thirty days to give them more of an understanding of world history. During the trip RaSia was six or seven, he recalled visiting the coast where slave traders would imprison the slaves before shipping them, this reminded him of the hardship his ancestors went through. Africa also surprised him by the many different things there, RaSia stated that America made it seem as if Africa was a third world continent with no buildings, hotels, or even a McDonald’s (Jaguar Journal). The death of RaSia’s close friend, Hadiya Pendleton, motivated him to address the violence plaguing the city of Chicago. Hadiya was killed by a gunman in Chicago a week after she preformed at Barack Obama’s inauguration. For this reason, RaSia and other Chicago teenagers created Project Orange…

Katha Pollitt, writer of “What’s Wrong with Gay Marriage?” depicts several reasons why people oppose to same sex marriage and among them, the most controversial reason is religion. Even though societies may think legalizing gay marriage will provide established homes for children who are left in orphanages and add financial earnings to state, marriage as it is, is between a man and a woman. Objection to gay marriage are based on religious prejudgment because a marriage of a man and a women is sacred and the approval of same sex marriage will disrupt the sacral institution, in fact, surveys demonstrate an outstanding connection of religiosity with opposition to gay marriage. Gay marriage is mismatch with religious beliefs, sacred texts, and traditions of many religious groups. The Catholic Church, Church of Jesus Christ, Evangelical Lutheran Church, Presbyterian Church, and other churches like these all oppose to same sex marriage. The expansion of same sex marriage may lead to churches being forced to wed couples and children being taught in school that same sex marriage is the same as opposite sex marriage.…
When finding a definition for ‘art’ the only phrase that comes to my mind is the expression of one’s creative skill and imagination. The word imagination brings out this thought of largeness and expressiveness to me and therefore when viewing a large painting, one immediately gets drawn towards it and tries to create a connection with the painting. Shahzia Sikander was an artist who was known for her embrace of miniaturist paintings in the Indo-Persian style. To many, miniature paintings seemed somewhat restrictive because of the space present for the artists to express themselves and are also looked at as a “faded genre that had more to do with craft and technique than genuine expression”(Bhaha, Homi). But according to me, Sikander’s artwork successfully portrayed her thoughts and helped us gain knowledge about her culture. What attributes to making her paintings so acknowledged is the way her artwork embodies not only her culture but also “works across diverse cultural references – Hindu, Christian, Classical, mythological and folkloric” (Rachel Kent).…
Introduction IDEO is a design and innovation consulting firm that was founded in 1991 and has been a successful example of what innovation and innovative design can accomplish. Its Palm V program was quite successful and created new expectations for what PDAs could look like and do, while maintaining a functional simplicity. Jeff Hawkins had started the original Palm Pilot program in 1996 and found enthusiastic acceptance among consumers. Senior project leader Dennis Boyle was chosen to head up the development of the Palm V, which would integrate a slim, more colorful and sleek design, which would focus more on emotional appeal than souped‐up hardware. IDEO’s culture could be described as eccentric, fun, creative, and innovative. The outside‐the‐ box working styles and shifting of working groups help to keep thinkers fresh and constantly on their toes. In the early 90s it was innovative to the point of being ambiguous at times for staff and management, but this was seen as providing fertile conditions for the generation of innovative thinking and ideas. However, by the late 90s this culture had become slightly more bureaucratic, to the chagrin of the executives and founders. This is because the management itself is a creative and inspired group that is very comfortable with ambiguity. This is exemplified by founder David Kelley’s dismay when asked permission by employees to leave early or bring a spouse to a company event; he would much rather there was less hierarchy. IDEO’s product creation process is unique in that it embraces the eccentricities of its corporate culture, and does so to increase the creativity and value of the designs it produces. Having a team together for only one project at a time, dispersing them and changing team formations for other projects, makes the input for new designs diversified and the thinking of the participants fresh. Healthy teams are extremely important for stimulating…
