Although the I.S.A. had been replaced by the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012, however nothing had been done to prosecute or detain those who jeopardises the national security of this country after the new Act had been passed. Therefore, the replacement of the I.S.A. should be reconsidered because no loyal Malaysian who loves his country will do anything to jeopardize the national security of his own country.

Enemy tribes fight and put curses on each other. To become allies again they must trade and negotiate. Then, the tribes combine together with a large peace celebration. They conduct a dance in ceremonial dress and test each others strength.

Violence marks much of human history. Within the sociopolitical sphere, violence has continually served as a tool used by various actors to influence and/or to control territory, people, institutions and other resources of society. The twentieth century witnessed an evolution of political violence in form and in scope. Continuing into the twenty-first, advances in technology and social organization dramatically increase the potential destructiveness of violent tools. Western colonialism left a world filled with many heterogeneous nation-states. In virtually all these countries nationalist ideologies have combined with ethnic, religious, and/or class conflicts resulting in secessionist movements or other kinds of demands. Such conflicts present opportunities for various actors in struggles for wealth, power, and prestige on both national and local levels. This is particularly evident in Indonesia, a region of the world that has experienced many forms of political violence. The state mass killings of 1965-66 mark the most dramatic of such events within this region. My goal is to understand the killings within a framework of collec...
Before discussing about the useful and changes in the security concept, it is necessary to understand the meaning of security and the concept of security itself. The most frequently definition of security used by scholars is from Barry Buzan, in his book People, States, and Fear said that “security, in any objective sense, measures the absence of threat to acquired values, in a wiki sense, the absence of fear that such values will be attacked” (Buzan, 1991:4). Ayoob said that “security - insecurity is defined in relation to vulnerabilities - both internal and external - that threaten or have the potential to bring down or weaken state structures, both territorial and institutional, and governing regimes” (Ayoob, 1995: 9). Another notion, “... security implies both coercive means to check an aggressor and all manner of persuasion, bolstered by the prospect of mutually shared benefits, to transform hostility into cooperation” (Kolodziej, 2005: 25). Final, “security is not just a social ...
The two largest religions in the world, Christianity and Islam, were implemented by two of religions most powerful leaders, Jesus and Muhammad. Without question, both Jesus and Muhammad have affected humanity powerfully. As religious leaders both men laid down the principles upon which Christianity and Islam are founded yet today. However, while Jesus performed miracles and arose from the dead, thus proving to his followers he was God, Muhammad performed no such feats, and made no such claims. In fact, Muhammad’s only claim was that he was the last prophet sent from God.

This essay is going to be about the Nanking massacre. I have always been interested in history and especially war. During a history class in high school we briefly came across the Nanking massacre and it sparked my interest. When the assignment was given I knew pretty quickly that it was going to be about an event during a war. There were multiple topics that could be the focus of my essay but eventually the Nanking massacre won due to the lesser knowledge about this topic. In this essay the question that should be answered is: “What is the effect of the massacre of Nanking on the social relationship between Japan and China in present day?”
