Category:Political philosophy Philosophy portal Political philosophy, or political theory, is the study of topics such as politics, liberty, justice, property, rights, law, and the enforcement of a laws by authority: what they are, why (or even if) they are needed, what, if anything, makes a government legitimate, what rights and freedoms it should protect and why, what form it should take and why, what the law is, and what duties citizens owe to a legitimate government, if any, and when it may be legitimately overthrown, if ever. In a vernacular sense, the term "political philosophy" often refers to a general view, or specific ethic, political belief or attitude, about politics, synonymous to the term "political ideology".

3 Censored TED Talks They Do Not Want You To See The current world order establishment has plenty to gain by keeping the people of the planet in the dark about ideas that can lead to a revolution in human consciousness. 1. Graham Hancock – The War on Consciousness Hancock's TED Talk, “The War on Consciousness”, was deliberately removed from YouTube: “Graham Hancock’s talk, again, shares a compelling and unorthodox worldview, but one that strays well beyond the realm of reasonable science. While attempting to critique the scientific worldview, he misrepresents what scientists actually think…” Chris Anderson, [TED]. Graham Hancock is the author of major international bestsellers, his books have sold more than five million copies worldwide and have been translated into 27 languages. 2. TED also removed the recent talk by author and bio-chemist Rupert Sheldrake. 3. Entrepreneur Rick Hanauer's presentation is surrounded by controversy because after it was recorded, it was passed over for publication by TED. Related:

E² Intervention Architecture | Da Vinci Learning Sunday, 29 September 2013 @ 20:00 How did progress take priority over human kind? How could the desire for a modern way of life that threatens our future be considered a way of life? Could it be that suburbs in Los Angeles affect the melting ice caps of Antarctica? And deforestation in the Congo affects the typhoons of Japan? Now we must face the challenges for what they are – opportunities to reinvent and redesign. E2 Intervention Architecture tracks 5 winning projects that embrace the ethical and philosophical criteria, epitomized by the prestigious Aga Khan Award for Architecture. Within an hour, the programme visits diverse global projects from a wetlands restoration project in Saudi Arabia to the revitalization of a French Colonial heritage site in Tunisia to a Bridge School in China that reconnected a community, becoming the cultural centre of the village – all this to underline there is one world, facing the same challenges in a shared future that can be made better.
The White Man's Burden Poem by the English poet Rudyard Kipling In "The White Man's Burden", Kipling encouraged the American annexation and colonisation of the Philippine Islands, a Pacific Ocean archipelago conquered in the three-month Spanish–American War (1898).[1] As an imperialist poet, Kipling exhorts the American reader and listener to take up the enterprise of empire yet warns about the personal costs faced, endured, and paid in building an empire;[1] nonetheless, American imperialists understood the phrase "the white man's burden" to justify imperial conquest as a civilising mission that is ideologically related to the continental expansion philosophy of manifest destiny of the early 19th century.[2][3][4][5] History[edit] The White Man's Burden: civilising the unwilling savage. "The White Man's Burden" published in McClure's Magazine, February 1899 He quotes, inter alia, stanzas 1, 4, and 5 of "The White Man's Burden", noting: Those [Filipino] peoples are not suited to our institutions.

JACQUE FRESCO - A Story of Change Westernization Adoption of or assimilation by Western culture Westernization has been a growing influence across the world in the last few centuries, with some thinkers assuming Westernization to be the equivalent of modernization,[2] a way of thought that is often debated. The overall process of Westernization is often two-sided in that Western influences and interests themselves are joined with parts of the affected society, at minimum, to become a more Westernized society, with the putative goal of attaining a Western life or some aspects of it, while Western societies are themselves affected by this process and interaction with non-Western groups. Westernization traces its roots back to Ancient Greece. Westernization can also be compared to acculturation and enculturation. Western world[edit] The "West" was originally defined as the Western world. Significantly influenced countries[edit] The following countries or regions experienced a significant influence by the process of Westernization: Samuel P.
Molecular Biologist Explains How THC Completely Kills Cancer Cells Below is a video of Dr. Christina Sanchez, a molecular biologist at Compultense University in Madrid, Spain, clearly explaining how THC (the main psychoactive constitute of the cannabis plant) completely kills cancer cells. Not long ago, we published an article examining a case study recently published where doctors used cannabis to treat Leukemia, you can read more about that here. To read more articles and view studies about how cannabis is an effective treatment and cure for cancer, click here.

War of 1812 Conflict between the United States and the British Empire from 1812 to 1815 The War of 1812 (18 June 1812 – 17 February 1815) was fought by the United States of America and its indigenous allies against the United Kingdom and its allies in British North America, with limited participation by Spain in Florida. It began when the United States declared war on 18 June 1812 and, although peace terms were agreed upon in the December 1814 Treaty of Ghent, did not officially end until the peace treaty was ratified by Congress on 17 February 1815. At sea, the far larger Royal Navy imposed an effective blockade on U.S. maritime trade, while between 1812 to 1814 British regulars and colonial militia defeated a series of American attacks on Upper Canada. Origin Since the conclusion of the War of 1812, historians have long debated the relative weight of the multiple reasons underlying its origins. However, other historians believe that a desire to permanently annex Canada was a direct cause of the war.
