Finding a Path to Peace: Reflections on the Syrian Refugee Crisis

Somewhere else in the world, families hastily leave their homes, forced to face a future filled with uncertainty because to stay could mean worse. Take a look at your own home now and your family. Do you have your belongings packed? Are you ready to flee to another country? You might have heard in the news of people having to flee to other countries, but we don’t see that happening in Thailand. However, as reassured as we may be that we will never be forced to leave our country, it is not out of the question. We only have to look at what has happened in Syria to see how a little rampage can lead to devastating civil wars.

Exploring the Fundamentals of Kantian Ethics: An Introduction

Kantian Ethics is derived from the philosopher Immanuel Kant and is a form of Deontological ethics. Deontological ethics is a type of ethical theory that judges whether an action is morally permissible or impermissible by comparing the action to a series of rules and maxims, rather than judging the morality of an action based on consequences, which would fall under the branch of Teleological ethics such as utilitarianism in which an action ought to be done if it creates the best possible consequences.

The Ethics of Dispersing Protests: Examining the Morality of Using Force to Break Up Demonstrations

It’s a sight of pandemonium. Police in pitch-black riot gear wields shields and batons as loud shouting encompasses the scene. The parties shove against each other, and impassioned yells and raised fists demanding change are met with expressions of stony resolve and mechanical warnings. An officer abruptly brandishes a gun, its menacing barrel pointed directly toward the crowd. He fires, releasing a torrent of rubber bullets that cut through the thick mist of tear gas and sweat. Mass hysteria ensues as some protesters struggle to leave in a panic whilst others push on defiantly. Arrests are made as the crowd continues to thin out, leaving nothing but scattered debris and a tense atmosphere of resentful surrender that hangs in the air. There will be no more resistance today.

Foie Gras: A Controversial Delicacy

Within the menus of fine dining restaurants, you will see a popular, ancient, french delicacy, known as Foie Gras. Foie Gras, translated in English as “fatty liver” is made out of duck or goose liver, many describe it to have a distinct texture and flavor in which it has velvety texture and a meaty, almost butter-like flavor.

Should Children Worry about Censorship? Examining the Implications of Restricting Information for Young Minds through Winnie the Pooh

When hearing the word censorship, cartoons for children and TV series are probably not the first thing that comes to mind. Our brains immediately go to politics, human rights, journalist publications, freedom of speech, and many other historical and contemporary issues. No cartoon seems to carry sensible, political content that may become the target of censorship of any kind. But apparently, leaders and governments all around the world disagree on the matter, as the last 10 years have seen several kids' cartoons or programs of entertainment ending up partly or entirely banned. Winnie the Pooh and civil rights concern one another much more than one may think.

Languages as a Soft Power Tool: The Role of Multilingualism in Diplomacy and International Relations

There are numerous languages in the world. They are the symbol of diversity and unity. A language is a country’s identity. It is what creates a bond between its citizens just like a shared history and traditions. Nevertheless, the impact of languages on society is too often underestimated. They are mostly seen as a way to communicate and exchange information, but rarely as a real tool for a country’s soft power across the globe. In this article, I will explain why languages have more influence than it seems and how they can be a real advantage for a country.

Exploring the Cultural Connections between Drag and Khon: A Glimpse into the Artistic and Historical Roots of Two Diverse Performance Traditions

As I walked past fascinating displays of various, eclectic collections of different styles of Thai art at a museum, one of Thailand’s theatrical cultures that most captivated my interest was the art of Khon. “There was something about the intricate, glittery fabric and the powerful voice of both the narrator and the Thai-style music that drew my interest. Furthermore, every element of the art reflected the creativity and the rigorous hours that were put into curating each immaculate scene to illustrate the story of Ramakian.”
