Democracy

Also, I hope this might not sound stupid, but what is the difference between public and international relations? Also, is the a Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate of those fields?
Thanks.
Thanks, I know what the difference between IR and PR now. I only want to know the best schools to study these (not online).

Accredited online degree programs are validated by accrediting agencies on the basis of various factors such as the institute that offers it, its aims and objectives, quality of education, faculty, resources available and student support. Usually such agencies are non-governmental, but are selected by a criteria set by the government. Accreditation allows one to judge the quality of online education provided by an online college or online university by comparing it with established standards. There are national as well as regional accrediting agencies.

Please I need help, I need to know how or what created bio terrorism and what it is. Don’t just copy and paste something you don’t understand please help me. =(

I do not know how bio terriosm was created but I do know what it is. Bio Terrorism is where bio terrorists use medical diseases to infect people on a mass scale. For example in America there was some Anthrax attacks and the Anthrax spores were put onto peoples post and people touched the spores, got infected and died. Hope this helps x

I have friends in Haiti I want to send a package to, and my mom will be vacationing in the Dominican Republic next month. Is there a service that will deliver to Haiti? Any idea what the costs are?
I have friends in Haiti, I want to send the package to them specifically. And they are in a village where places like the Red Cross don’t go.

Assuming that she’s going to a big, tourist resort, I’d say that it’s incredibly likely that the hotel will be actively appealing for aid and that there will be some sort of courier organised that take both money and supplies to the affected areas free of charge.
When I went to the Dominican Republic a few months ago, that was certainly the case even then. Although, before the earthquake, a lot of the hotel staff were asking for donations of anything to be sent to benefit local, rural schools.

Participatory Video (PV) is a set of techniques to involve a group or community in shaping and creating their own film. The idea behind this is that making a video is easy and accessible, and is a great way of bringing people together to explore issues, voice concerns or simply to be creative and tell stories. It is therefore primarily about process, though high quality and accessible films (products) can be created using these methods if that is a desired outcome. This process can be very empowering, enabling a group or community to take their own action to solve their own problems, and also to communicate their needs and ideas to decision-makers and/or other groups and communities. As such, PV can be a highly effective tool to engage and mobilise marginalised people, and to help them to implement their own forms of sustainable development based on local needs.

Whilst there are forms of documentary filmmaking that are able to sensitively represent the realities of their subjects’ lives and even to voice their concerns, documentary films very much remain the authored products of a documentary filmmaker. As such, the subjects of documentaries rarely have any say (or sometimes have some limited say) in how they will ultimately be represented. By contrast, in PV the subjects make their own film in which they can shape issues according to their own sense of what is important, and they can also control how they will be represented. Additionally, documentary films are often expected to meet stringent aesthetic standards and are usually made with a large audience in mind. The PV process, on the other hand, is less concerned with appearance than with content, and the films are usually made with particular audiences and objectives in mind.

PV is used all over the world and has been applied in many different situations, from advocacy and enabling greater participation in development projects to providing a therapeutic and communicative environment for the mentally ill or disempowered. Methods vary from practitioner to practitioner, some choosing to keep the process more open, and others preferring to guide the subjects more, or even to wield the camera themselves. There is no fixed way in which PV has to be done, other than that it involves the authorship of the group itself and that it be carried out in a truly participative and democratic way. This quality of flexibility enables PV to be applied to many different situations.

PV carried out in this way becomes a powerful means of documenting local people’s experiences, needs and hopes from their own perspectives. It initiates a process of analysis and change that celebrates local knowledge and practice, whilst stimulating creativity both within and beyond the community. PV gives a voice and a face to those who are normally not heard or seen, even in participatory programmes.

In combination with other methodologies such as Participatory Learning in Action (PLA) techniques, Participatory Rural Appraisal and others. PV has been successfully applied to projects focussing on; community development; promoting local innovation and endogenous development; therapeutic work; a voice for marginalised groups; a catalyst for community-led action; a tool for communicating with policy makers; a means of involving users in their own research for example action research, participatory research, user-led research; also for programme monitoring and evaluation or Social impact assessment…new possible applications are being continually developed.

This is an absolutely critical difference for understanding economics.

Capitalism is a system where individuals are free to engage in mutually beneficial trades with others. It is the economic system that develops in the absence of governmental intervention in the economy.

Mercantilism is the system of special privilege which Adam Smith and all genuine Capitalists since have condemned. Examples of Mercantilism include the Federal Reserve, the IMF, the World Bank, corporate welfare, tariffs, bailouts of failed businesses, the Military-Industrial Complex and other government intervention for the benefit of wealthy politically-connected interests. Mercantilism, which is the status quo in most of the countries in the world today (with the exception of the socialist countries, such as Cuba and North Korea, where the people live in extreme poverty), could probably be described most accurate as Socialism for the Rich (or Corporate Socialism).

Why do the liberals and conservatives constantly conflate these 2 economic systems which have next-to-nothing in common as being the same system even though they have very little in common?

Because, in the nineteenth century, "the capitalist system" was another word for "the mercantile system," and had nothing to do with free markets. Many supporters of free markets identified themselves as socialists – Warren, Proudhon, Greene, Tucker, Lum. Others did not – Bastiat – but didn’t identify as capitalist either.

Most liberals and conservatives equivocate between older and newer definitions.

I’ve heard a couple of explanations. To combat global warming, the particles reflect UV rays from the sun. The military is experimenting with ways to make the atmosphere more conductive for the HARPE weapon. The military is experimenting with radar jamming techniques. Other reasons I’ve heard are a bit extreme and involve to much speculation. If anyone has any insight on this or knows of any activists groups out there trying to put a stop to these experiments/practices please respond. Thank you.

They aren’t. It’s just normal Contrails. You’ve been reading those crackpot chem-trail sites again, haven’t you?

I and my girlfriend are planning a trip to one of the Greek islands, but we’re not sure which one is the best to visit.

We prefer quieter places with a lot of history, culture and places to visit, along with some tasty food. Not too touristy but easy enough to get to.

There’s a lot of information out there and we’re finding it hard to make a decision.

For some of the reasons Alex described and for many more that the site will not be enough to mention, Kerkyra-Corfu is an island with many different aspects through the ages to offer for those that are willing to search. Only a few more, you will find in the link below. The rest you have to discover on site.
However both Crete and Rhodos are also excellent places to visit for the purposes you have in mind. The advantage that Corfu and Rhodos have over Crete is that they are smaller in size and therefore easier to see all they have to offer.

A third party seeks the following information for solicitation purposes: Name/Age/Type of Policy/ Face Value/Duration (how long the policy has been in effect)

Is it legally possible for this third party to partner with a life insurance agent to recieve this information?

Insurance companies release personal information all the time, and there are not any laws prohibiting the practice.~

What were the beliefs that the Babylonian and Ancient Romans had on dreams? And do you have any website where i can find this information?

Both the Babylonians and the Romans considered dreams to be important.

In Babylon, there was a goddess of dreams called Mamu. They believed that the gods sent good dreams; demons sent bad.

The Romans took their ideas about dreams from Greek philosophers, developing them further. "Oneiromancers" (dream interpreters) used more analytical techniques (from Aristotle) to predict the future.
