Climate changes, political instability, lack of medical care, economic crises etc. should not be an excuse to cooperate between individuals, should not be excuse not to spread positive ideas, positive way of thinking and to try to teach a Global population that each problem is just a challenge to find proper positive answers for global progress and stability of all societies and countries. With this E-Journal we hope, at least with our small commitment, to help all searching for responses and answers through which

The first part of this dissertation examines the role of society in deciding whether the individual’s decisions regarding end of life treatment should be governed by morals, ethics and beliefs maintained under the status quo or whether such decisions should also include the option of physician assisted suicide under strict conditions. This part of the study seeks to answer the questions, “What are the end-of-life options that define a “good death” and what are the arguments imbedded in the issue of physician assisted suicide? The second part of this dissertation addresses the politics of winning the battle of physician assisted suicide legislation in Hawaii.

  • Assisted Suicide

    Assisted Suicide

    A strident consumerist élite is playing on our fears of death and dying to call for the legalisation of assisted suicide. ASSISTED SUICIDE ASSISTED Euthanasia enthusiasts among the chattering classes have nothing to fear from a change in the law: articulate, determined and well-connected, they are unlikely to be bullied into an early death. Assisted Suicide But millions of others are less fortunate. Many ill and elderly people will fail to represent their own best interests or those of their loved ones. How the chattering classes have got it wrong Fearful of authorities and confused by bureaucracy, they may be subject to manipulation by others. CRISTINA ODONE Legalising assisted suicide would create a new category of second class human beings. It must be resisted.

  • Who Better to Guide Visitors to Dubai Through the Layers

    Who Better to Guide Visitors to Dubai Through the Layers

    Who better to guide visitors to Dubai through the layers of the city than its residents? While Dubai’s five-star hotels, shopping centres and beaches tend to dominate the pages of most guidebooks, visitors who are limited to these destinations would leave with a mere unsatisfactory glimpse of the city. If you’re looking to get a sense of what it’s like to live in Dubai, to visit the city’s distinctive corners and explore its nooks and crannies, this unconventional guidebook will serve as your perfect companion. In its pages you will find the reflections and recommendations of Emiratis and long-time residents of the city, who will introduce you to its cultural identity, its distinguishing characteristics, and its soul. There is far more to the city than record-breaking skyscrapers and malls. The metropolis, which is home to more than 200 nationalities, has a rich history, celebrated through ongoing heritage preservation programmes, and it has rapidly evolved into a global arts hub, a multicultural culinary destination, an eco-friendly landscape, and a trendsetter in fields as diverse as business, technology and fashion. Through focus groups and interviews with the people who know Dubai best, the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority asked the city’s residents to tell its story, highlight its popular facets and share their diverse memories of life within its friendly borders. What follows is a people’s introduction to Dubai, an invitation from the city’s residents to potential visitors, guiding them towards its cultural enclaves, historical districts, design boutiques, homegrown eateries, parks and much more.

Not only did the Carter decisions mark a historic point in the long fight to legalize PAS in Canada, but it was also the second Supreme Court case in a little over a year to revisit, and depart from, an earlier Charter precedent. Stare decisis, or precedent, is a fundamental doctrine of the legal system that judges are reluctant to ignore.

  • Fear and Money in Dubai

    Fear and Money in Dubai

    metropolitan disorders The hectic pace of capitalist development over the past decades has taken tangible form in the transformation of the world’s cities: the epic expansion of coastal China, deindustrialization and suburbanization of the imperial heartlands, massive growth of slums. From Shanghai to São Paolo, Jerusalem to Kinshasa, cityscapes have been destroyed and remade—vertically: the soar- ing towers of finance capital’s dominance—and horizontally: the sprawling shanty-towns that shelter a vast new informal proletariat, and McMansions of a sunbelt middle class. The run-down public housing and infrastuctural projects of state-developmentalism stand as relics from another age. Against this backdrop, the field of urban studies has become one of the most dynamic areas of the social sciences, inspiring innovative contributions from the surrounding disciplines of architecture, anthropology, economics. Yet in comparison to the classic accounts of manufacturing Manchester, Second Empire Paris or Reaganite Los Angeles, much of this work is strikingly depoliticized. Characteristically, city spaces are studied in abstraction from their national contexts. The wielders of economic power and social coercion remain anonymous. The broader political narrative of a city’s metamorphosis goes untold. There are, of course, notable counter-examples. With this issue, NLR begins a series of city case studies, focusing on particular outcomes of capitalist globalization through the lens of urban change. We begin with Mike Davis’s portrait of Dubai—an extreme concentration of petrodollar wealth and Arab- world contradiction. Future issues will carry reports from Brazil, South Africa, India, gang-torn Central America, old and new Europe, Bush-era America and the vertiginous Far East.
  • Dubai's Museum Types

    Dubai's Museum Types

    Dubai’s Museum Types: A Structural Analytic John Biln and Mohamed El-Amrousi This is a pre-print version of the following article, published in print form and available online: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/berghahn/armw/2014/00000002/00000001/art00007. Biln, John, and Mohamed El-Amrousi. “Dubai’s Museum Types: A Structural Analytic.” Museum Worlds: Advances in Research 2 (2014): 99-112. Abstract Dubai is often characterized as a city of artificiality and repackaged public spaces – a city without a past. The old historic Dubai has essentially disappeared, lost in the shadows of iconic resort projects and popular shopping malls. This article asks the following question: how do Dubai’s museums function in relation to an urban field for the most part bereft of historical fabric, and in which the history that is made visible within the public realm is largely fictional or highly sanitized? We argue that to make sense of the ways history is represented and circulated in Dubai’s public spaces, the traditional categories of ‘museum’ should be extended to include both large-scale history-themed malls and small heritage houses. Taken altogether, Dubai’s museums and museum-like institutions constitute a conceptually complete and closed system that manages to ‘resolve’ the apparent paradox of an urban context characterized by absence and historical loss, in which, paradoxically, expressions of historical fullness are everywhere. The rapid urban development and commercial repackaging of public space in Dubai has resulted in a city of overwhelming artificiality. Iconic projects such as the Palm Island, Burj al-Arab, Burj Dubai (now Burj Khalifa) have collectively given a compelling image to Dubai’s global pretensions.
