.... in everyday life, which brings one to ask the second question. How do the social sciences show theatre used in everyday life?

The biologist Laborit sees behavioral functions .....

.... world is divided along the borders of civilizations and religion rather than the boundaries of countries. He identifies eight clearly distinct civilizations: Western (the United States and western Europe), Islamic, Sinic (primarily China), Orthodox (primarily Russia), Japanese, Hindu, Latin American, and African. A pervasive presumption in the Western world is that with the fall of communism, the West has “won” and that the rest of the world will now embrace democracy and Western culture. Huntington disagrees with this presumption. In his book, Huntington shows us how civilizations an .....

.... Yugoslav conflict threatened Europe as a whole, and as a consequence domestic and political and social climate deteriorated rapidly. In Eastern Europe the replacement of communism did not produce a swift and painless transition which was expected. In fact some of the Eastern countries found the Western way so hard it sent them back to communism. Yeltzin’s Russia also began to gain power and raise western fears.

At Fisk, Du Bois became acquainted with many sons and daughters of former slaves, who felt the pain of oppression and shared his sense of cultural and spiritual tradition. In the South, he saw his people being driven to a status o .....

.... the Union. President Cleveland was opposed to the forced annexation and withdrew a treaty of annexation. Though after the Spanish-American War, Hawaii was able to gain attention as expansionists envisioned ships sailing from the eastern seaboard through a Central American canal to Hawaii and then on to China. It took President McKinley to successfully maneuvered annexation through Congress by means of a majority vote. Cuba was also played a part in American foreign affairs during the turn of the century.

.... industry owners do not care who they have working for them, as long as they hustle.

Compared to this Canada was 72 in 1965, and 75 in 1983. The Towards Tomorrow text book said, "China has 7% of the World's arable land. Canada has 3% bu .....
