Using classical studies on delinquent subcultures discuss and explain why some young Muslims feel they need to join Islamic extremist groups?By: Adam | 17/07/2009 | College & UniversityI will try to show how young Muslims become radicalized by Islam and ultimately join terrorist organisations. Firstly focusing on Albert Cohen’s work on the delinquent subculture, I will look at how young boys become part of a delinquent group. Is it just the working class who are frustrated by society, who feel inferior to the middle class and feel they must reject society and create their own set of rules, values and norms. However is it also the middle class boys who feel isolated by their... Common misconceptions: Things we know that just aren't soBy: Philip Yaffe | 13/05/2009 | Self ImprovementWe all live with misconceptions about the world. This is quite normal. No one can be an expert in everything, so we simplify our learning into easy-to-remember snippets. These are often very close to the truth, but never quite there. Generally, our misconceptions are insignificant and do little harm. Some times they are very significant and do a lot of harm. Evolution/religion: an Integrative View of Nature, Faith and the Human MindBy: Robert DePaolo | 27/12/2008 | ReligionThis article discusses a bimodal brain process that gives us the option of engaging in disrciminatory or integrative thought, and has implications for a belief in god. The Future Of Cars Are Hybrid CarsBy: Jenny Styles | 11/03/2009 | AutomotiveBuying hybrid cars can be a little bit more complicated than what you might think.

Rodrigues Island: Case for Self-determinationBy: Alain Leveque | 30/01/2007 | PoliticsThe name Rodrigues was eponymously plucked from Diego Rodriguez, a Portuguese sailor whose brief visit in 1528 heralded the coming of the Europeans. There is some evidence that Chinese Mariners, Arab and Malay traders, and Pirates may have stumbled on the island as far back as the tenth century. No record of any indigenous population exists. By 1638, a council on nearby Reunion Island was already administering Rodrigues as a French possession. It remained a French colony until British troops stormed the island in 1809. It was then governed as a separate British territory until May 30, 1814, when its administration was transferred to Mauritius. During the Second World War, 300 of our compatriots, my father among them, from our tiny active population, supported the British in Tobruk and El Alamein. Yet, in March 1968, we were bound to Mauritius against our will, and marooned in the colonially imposed ‘forced marriage’ of unitary rule. Having offloaded Mauritius, the British in Rodrigues simply packed their bags, shot their dogs, and took off. In effect, we became the whipping boy, left behind at the mercy of new masters, to foot the bill for the transgressions of others. Our history has been one long painful struggle against non-consensual governments: from French possession, French colony, English possession, dependency of the colony of Mauritius, ‘district’ of Mauritius, to Island region of Mauritius today. Neo-colonial labels replaced colonial tags; alien masters took over from foreign rulers, but for our people – the dysphoric cycle grinds on: Adieu l’esclavage – Bonjour l’esclavage (farewell slavery – good morning slavery.) ConsumerismBy: loveleenchawla | 17/12/2008 | LawIt would be in fitness of the fact to recall the greatest of Arab historians, Ibn Khaldun saying: “That in civilization there is a limit that cannot be overstepped. When prosperity and luxury come to a people, they are followed by excessive consumption and extravagance, with which the human soul itself is undermined, both in its worldly well-being and in its spiritual life”
