  Hellenic and Hellenistic Culture  There are significant distinctions between the Greeks and people from other ethnicities who speak the Greek language. Hellenic culture refers to the Greeks’ way of life while Hellenistic customs refer to the manner in which the people who speak the Greek language yet from other ethnic backgrounds live. The two groups differ in philosophy, religion, science, and art and it is imperative to examine these variations.  The Hellenic and Hellenistic cultures exhibit critical distinctions in philosophy. The Greek period was characterized by the upcoming of the philosophers who attracted a large following (Sanneh 67). It was during this time that many philosophies came into existence. For instance, Plato's Republic is an excellent perception of political philosophy in the Hellenic period. On the other hand, the Hellenistic culture focuses more on reasoning than establishing the truth. The philosophers in the Hellenistic culture applied cr

  Preparing For High Interest Rates  When low-interest rates in our economic markets extend for a considerably longer period, it becomes easy for investors and borrowers to assume or hope that the status quo will hold for even longer. The low interests over the past few years are attributed to the Great Recession that led to a general economic deterioration in most world markets. With reduced interest rates in the market, borrowers have enjoyed loans including mortgages at relatively low rates while investors have continued to receive low returns on their investments. However, with the current and projected economic rebound, the interest rates are anticipated to, rise and thus the cost of borrowing will significantly go high (Palmer, 2013).  With some markets around the world starting to experience the effect, the major concern is how to position oneself against or in favor of the rising interest rates. While the anticipated rise in interest rates could work against bor

Organic Versus Inorganic Agriculture  Organic farming refers to the way farmers produce and process their agricultural products. It encourages reduced level of pollution, water and soil conservation. Farmers avoid using conventional methods to control weeds and insects or to fertilize (USDA). On the other hand, a farming system where pesticides, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, genetically modified organisms, intensive tillage and heavy irrigation methods are used is known as inorganic farming (FAO). The differences between the two methods of farming lie in yield, human health, size and shape of products, quality, food additives, and division in the market among other issues. Here are several differences.  Natural fertilizers like composites and manure are applied in organic farming to feed soil and plants. The goal of using such methods is to bring about an enterprise that is harmonious and sustainable regarding the environment. On the other hand, conventional or inorgani

   HOW HITLER SEDUCED GERMANY WITH SPEECHES   Almost everyone finds it appropriate to consider Adolf Hitler a synonym of evil. However, one wonders how Hitler gained popularity and support of Germans even though he was wicked. A review of his speeches reveals that Hitler was exceptional in manipulating people and good at using strategic propaganda techniques. Most importantly, he was conscious of his skills, and he was quoted to have said, “I am conscious that I have no equal in the art of swaying the masses” (Gigliotti, 2001). His success in moving masses is certain evidence that the Nazi leader was accurate in his sentiments. The ability to deliver engaging speeches is an important skill for anyone who needs to convince masses, and it does not matter who or what the speaker is. However, the speech must demonstrate good knowledge of pressing issues that the audience may consider important for an address.  Hitler knew what majority of the people wanted to hear. He largely f

 Should Euthanasia Be Legal?   Euthanasia refers to assisting patients that suffer from a painful disease, an incurable illness or those that are in an irreversible coma to die. Due to the legal, moral and ethical implications of euthanasia, it has attracted a lot of controversy and debate within the contemporary globalized society (Purdy and Flora 35). Euthanasia can be passive in the form of withdrawing medication, surgery or life support from a patient. It can also be voluntary, such as when requested by the terminally ill, or can take the form of a physician aiding a patient to die through the administration of specific medication (Lesser 332). Regardless of its form, it is argued that euthanasia should not be legal.  Activists who support euthanasia argue that people have an intrinsic human right to choose whether they want to die or live. However, this argument is against the moral and ethical principles on the sanctity of life (Chaloner and Karen 43). It is therefore a

  ETHICAL ASPECTS OF CLONING  Cloning refers to the somatic cell nuclear transfer that creates biological material that is genetically identical to the parent (Reeve, 2013). For instance, an organism or organ can be used to create genetically identical replicas. As such, the process of cloning creates a genetic duplicate. The discussion over whether there is any ethical justification for cloning is very polarizing. This is because many arguments have been advanced to support and reject cloning, particularly concerning the potential medical benefits and fate of the rejected clones. In this respect, the ethical debate is centered on what is to be done with excess clones and how they are disposed off (Morrison, 2013). Therefore, the subject of cloning generates a lot of ethical debates since it presents potential benefits as well as harm.  As earlier indicated, cloning involves the creation of replicas that are genetically identical to the parent. In this case, there are tw

  Cybercrime  Cybercrime involves the use of computers and networks to commit crimes. With the advancement in technology, computers can be used to commit crimes or to target victims. Criminals commit these offenses against groups or individuals with the motive of harming the victims' reputation intentionally, cause mental or physical harm either directly or indirectly. These criminal activities are aided by the use of modern telecommunication technology such as mobile phones and the internet. This type of crime can adversely affect the financial security of both the government and the private sector. Organizations, government and the citizens should enact appropriate security measures to mitigate the possibilities of becoming victims of cybercrime.  Cybercriminals have advanced their illegal activities, making it possible for them to be involved in various criminal activities such as hacking, child pornography, and copyright infringement. These illegal activities have n
