The Legacy of Greek Philosophy: 3 Famous Greek Philosophers And How They Shaped Modern Thought

Image
The ancient Greek philosophers are considered as some of the most profound thinkers in the history of human civilization. Despite spending their entire lives in a relatively small area, these philosophers managed to make significant discoveries about life that continue to influence modern thought. In this blog, we will explore how the Greek philosophers achieved this feat and the lessons we can learn from their experience.

Feminism is a socio-political movement that advocates for gender equality and the empowerment of women. It has been a topic of debate for many years and has sparked many discussions and arguments. In this blog, we will explore what feminism is, its history, and how it has evolved over time. What is feminism? Feminism is a belief in social, political, and economic equality between genders.

 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) was adopted by the UN general assembly in 1979, is often portrayed as an international bill of rights for women. It unequivocally characterizes discrimination against women, sets up legitimate commitments for state gatherings to end discrimination in public and private circles, and delivers a vision of substantive equality among women and men. Starting in 2017, 189 member-states have signed the treaty, making it the second most confirmed UN human rights arrangement (Vogelstein, 2017).  In its preamble, the Convention expressly recognizes that "extensive discrimination against women continues to exist", and underscores that such discrimination "abuses the standards of equity of rights and regard for human respect". As characterized in article 1, discrimination is comprehended as "any distinctio...

Human Rights Critique

 Human Rights Critique  Human rights are the rights that are inherent to all human beings and pay little attention to race, gender, identity, nationality, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, independence from slavery and torture, the opportunity for evaluation and expression, the choice of work and education, and more. Everyone qualifies for these rights without discrimination. Scholars are divided over when human rights emerged and who were the central heroes. Starting points in the global dimension can be located anywhere between the anti-slavery campaigns of the mid-19th century and the collapse of socialist and postcolonial utopias in the late 1970s. What most researchers do concur on is that by the 1990s, human rights had appeared as a prevailing worldwide talk, globally most widely used language. With a  confounding cluster of worldwide lawful guidelines and establishments, the human rights venture was determi...

6 Features of Webinar Webinar A webinar (a combination of the words "web" and "seminar") is a video talk, or introduction workshop facilitated over the web using webinar programs.

This means that the tools you use to submit your webinar must be adaptable enough to provide you with w...
