Globalization has become one of the principal symbols of economic, cultural and political life in the 21st century. Although there is no precise definition of globalization, due to the complexity of the term and the varying attitudes towards it, put simply it is the process by which nationality is becoming all the time more irrelevant. International organizations such as Coca Cola, Disney, McDonald's, Sony, Shell Oil and IBM, symbolize such a process. In layman's terms, globalization is basically the means by which people around the globe are now more connected to each other than ever before. Information and money flow more swiftly and goods and services produced in one part of the globe

What is the relevance and future of the Second Amendment?
Guns are a fundamental part of America. Without guns, the first revolutionaries would have been unable to beat back the British forces that sought to impose rule on the new founded nation. Because of the need for firearms for simple survival during the early days of the country’s founding, the right to bear arms was written into the Constitution as a fundamental right of being an American. Over the centuries since, the need for firearms and the culture of guns has diminished considerably, yet there has been a resurgence in the awareness of the right to

Although the two narrations are centuries apart, Sax could successfully sculpt and exemplify the themes of gender inequality and racism to suit the modern audience.
Gender discrimination was very vivid in Shakespeare’s play. Desdemona was getting married to Othello without her father’s consent and Iago describes her as being stolen by comparing her to an object. This is evident when Iago wakes up Brabantio and says “Awake! What ho, Brabantio! Thieves, thieves! `Look to your house, your daughter, and your bags! Thieves, thieves!”. This shows that unmarried
