Same-Sex Marriage For thousands of years men and women have been united in marriage globally; but now‚ the issue of same-sex marriages has arisen. This is an issue that has divided politicians‚ governments and even everyday citizens. Many countries are now ‘switching the green light’ and legalising same-sex marriages.

Macklemore’s Music Video “Same Love” Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion and beliefs. This has caused an ongoing controversy on gay rights. What people don’t think about is how this relates to past issues within society. As a culture we create this image of what is right and wrong.

Same Places‚ Same People‚ Different Names There was a big problem for me and I am certain that it is shared among millions of people from different parts of the world living in the United States or other English speaking countries. I am referring to the problem that why some foreign names are different in the English language from their origins while some others are almost the same as they are in their origins. For example‚ names such as Ali‚ Buddha‚ Miriam‚ Tokyo‚ Washington‚ and Quito are the
