Benjamin Barber wrote a 1992 article and a 1995 book, Jihad vs. McWorld, that addressed this theme. Barber described "McWorld" as a secular, liberal, corporate-friendly transformation of the world and used the word "jihad" to refer to the competing forces of tribalism and religious fundamentalism, with a special emphasis on Islamic fundamentalism.
Samuel P. Huntington wrote a 1993 essay, The Clash of Civilizations, in direct response to The End of History; he then expanded the essay into a 1996 book, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order. In the essay and book, Huntington argued that the temporary conflict between ideologies is being replaced by the ancient conflict between civilizations. The dominant civilization decides the form of human government, and these will not be constant. He especially singled out Islam, which he described as having "bloody borders".

In 2014, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the publication of the original essay, "The End of History?", Fukuyama wrote a column in The Wall Street Journal again updating his hypothesis. He wrote that, while liberal democracy still had no real competition from more authoritarian systems of government "in the realm of ideas", nevertheless he was less idealistic than he had been "during the heady days of 1989". Fukuyama noted the Orange Revolution in Ukraine and the Arab Spring, both of which seemed to have failed in their pro-democracy goals, as well as the "backsliding" of democracy in countries including Thailand, Turkey and Nicaragua. He stated that the biggest problem for the democratically elected governments in some countries was not ideological but "their failure to provide the substance of what people want from government: personal security, shared economic growth and the basic public services ... that are needed to achieve individual opportunity." Though he believed that economic growth, improved government and civic institutions all reinforced one another, he wrote that it was not inevitable that "all countries will ... get on that escalator".[15]
Never have a picture of a well-adjusted African on the cover of your book, or in it, unless that African has won the Nobel Prize. An AK-47, prominent ribs, naked breasts: use these. If you must include an African, make sure you get one in Masai or Zulu or Dogon dress.
Africa is the premier journal devoted to the study of African societies and culture. Published as the journal of the International African Institute, editorial policy encourages an interdisciplinary approach, involving the social sciences, history, the environment and life sciences. Africa aims to give increased attention to historical trends, issues of development and links between local and national levels of society. At the same time, it maintains its commitment to the theoretically informed analysis of the realities of Africa's own cultural categories. Africa appears quarterly. Each issue contains four or five major articles, arranged thematically, extensive review essays and substantial book reviews. Special issues are frequent. Africa BibliographyA full subscription to Africa also provides an annual listing of published work in African studies from the previous year. Included with every fourth issue of Africa, the bibliography is now recognised as the authoritative guide to available literature. Covering the whole of Africa, and not confined to work in English, the work contains over five thousand items categorised by region, country and subject, with full indexes.

But what is joy without fear? The fear of selfishness that, here on this podium with the world paying attention not to them but to me, I should like to keep these simple joys inviolate, not because they are innocent, but because they are true. They are as true as when, in the grace of this gift, Perse heard the fragments of his own epic of Asia Minor in the rustling of cabbage palms, that inner Asia of the soul through which imagination wanders, if there is such a thing as imagination as opposed to the collective memory of our entire race, as true as the delight of that warrior-child who flew a bamboo arrow over the flags in the field at Felicity; and now as grateful a joy and a blessed fear as when a boy opened an exercise book and, within the discipline of its margins, framed stanzas that might contain the light of the hills on an island blest by obscurity, cherishing our insignificance.
By selecting "File submissions" in the submission types of an assignment, teachers can allow students to upload one or more essays written in, for example MS Word or saved as a pdf. Since 2.6 and if ghostscript is enabled on the server, when students can save their word-processed essays as pdf files and upload them to Moodle, teachers can comment on them directly on Moodle.

PDfs.....do student budgets allow for this type of kit?.... I understand this is paid-for software. If the institution does/does not provide this software then student needs to invest in it for home use. I have never marked a single essay in PDf format. And I am not aware of universities making this an option/requirement....and I know of no schools that use it....I know researchers and writers find it useful for copyright reasons when collaborating/peer-reviewing work. Me, I could be naiive though.
So, this is my understanding of practice as is= essay/assignment turned in via that software in the LMS and marking can be done using that TII software as well as checks for UP, this is convenient when marking a cohort of 100 + students....otherwise UP-checks can be long-winded.
Alternatively, written stuff can be done in the moodle Ed and marked in gradebook (checked with TII) and there are a number of nice ways to use assignment/quiz for seamless sub/ marking/grading/tracking.
Some background: I teach an introductory statistics course and I frequently use the Moodle (2.4) essay question embedded within a Moodle quiz. Students often have a series of calculations (I use wild cards or randomized cloze questions) and then I want the students to interpret their results. I do this through multiple choice questions or short answers but in fact, nothing beats a short essay (one or two sentences) to know whether students understand the meaning of their calculations. For such an essay question, I typically disallow any attachments and restrict the font to monotype (unless I want students to have access to special math symbols).
My problem with essay questions is that I have no easy way to know which quizzes have an embedded essay question that requires manual grading. I have to look through all the quizzes of a course to ensure there are none yet to be graded.

Many centuries of fragmentation and living within different statesnaturally brought about regional language peculiarities, resulting in the emergence of dialects. The vernacular enriched the literary language. IvanKotlyarevsky, Grigory Skovoroda, and Taras Shevchenko played a huge role here.Their works are our common literary and cultural heritage. Taras Shevchenkowrote poetry in the Ukrainian language, and prose mainly in Russian. The booksof Nikolay Gogol, a Russian patriot and native of Poltavshchyna, are written in Russian, bristling with Malorussian folk sayings and motifs. How can thisheritage be divided between Russia and Ukraine? And why do it? 2ff7e9595c
