The Unipolar World Within the confines of post-Westphalian time there is probably a near consensus amongst realists that the international system can be periodized as multipolar up to 1945‚ and then bipolar up to 1989. Unfortunately the assessment of polarity has become problematic since the end of the Cold War (Buzan and Little‚ 2000:391). Understanding the polarity of the international system may help us to have a better understanding the power distribution and the states’ behavior in the international

SOPHIE’S WORLD For my whole life‚ I have questioned where God came from. I’ve always believed in a God and that He created us‚ but I could never wrap myself around the idea of where He Himself came from.

Based on the way we understand existence‚ God doesn’t exist. That’s why that question is so hard

A Different Kind of Rain One scene in The Known World depicts an odd event.
