I am to blame

Racism is terrible, on a par with sexism and homophobia, fifty years पूर्व (and sometimes now!) the country आप where born in could effect the quality of your education, your chances of promotion या even employment, weather आप would be allowed on TV and even who your allowed to marry.

Luckily though thanks to Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and a whole host of protesters, African-Americans have a lot और rights than they did 50 years ago, along with any other discriminated races.
But somehow, i think people are abusing the rights Ms.Park and thousands of others have fought for after she sat on...

It's been कहा that those who don't accept Biblical या Koranic या whatever support in a non-religious argument are being close-minded and intolerant of their beliefs. I've stated many times why I do not accept religious arguments, and it has nothing to do with being intolerant of those beliefs. So I decided I'd state here once and for all why I feel religious reasons do not belong in a वाद-विवाद (unless that वाद-विवाद is about religions).

First of all, I'd just like to state that obviously religion is a major thing in the lives of a lot of people in the world. I agree with Obama in that I don't believe...

I respect most religious beliefs, mostly because I have a deep respect for the grounds they stand on. Those are very sacred grounds, with roots in history, culture, and philosophy. And these beautiful things are nothing to sneer at. People forget sometimes that this is where religion comes from, that we are religion as much as we are history.

I will always fight for a person's right to practice and believe in anything that feels right to them in their soul, so long as in practicing that religion, they do not infringe upon the rights of others to do the same. In my time, both on फैन्पॉप and off...

This is quite possibly the first in a series of rants on my part concerning the organization, link and its place in the current education वाद-विवाद in the US. So, आप know, keep an eye out, if only so आप can avoid those rants when आप see them in your updates.

I want to start with an anecdote. A fellow हाल का Masters in Teaching grad and I were going to one of our प्रिय restaurants in the city. On the same block is an सेब store. I saw some Teach For America (TFA) sign in the window, rolled my eyes, and followed my friend into the restaurant. I should note that when I saw this, my University...

Preface: This was my final paper for one of my college courses at the विश्वविद्यालय of Washington. Considering हाल का conversations on this spot, I decided to share it. I take no offense if no one reads it completely - it's an academic paper, not a tweet या a फेसबुक status update, so I know it's long and wordy. Lastly (and this should go without saying) Plagiarism rules apply, and this is easily searchable on the Interwebs so, आप know, be smart.

Why is the education of women important to development?

According to the UN Arab Human Development रिपोर्ट from 2005, “an Arab renaissance cannot be...
