Based on my some forty years study and research relating to socio-economic development in a variety of societies, it is my deep belief that capitalism has reached the point of its own destruction moving the world toward a more equitable standards of living.

These have created a tremendous disequilibrium in production and marketing of goods and services in the world market. While hourly pay for a skilled worker in the United states is around $20.00, the equivalent of...

The most manifest point of getting oneself educated is, ultimately, to make a person?s life easier mainly through the financial gains he would hopefully be handling after getting himself out of a college with a degree in tertiary education.

The full or normal retirement age is a benchmark used for the provision of retirement benefits (or full retirement benefits) in a state or country. It may not necessarily be the mandatory retirement age, especially as the mandatory retirement age is contextually derived (based on occupation or location for example).

Why Black children don't score exactly like White children on achievement tests in public schools.  Perhaps their focus is on not being exactly like White children?   I am sure a firestorm of protest will roll in now!  But I don't care.  The so called achievement gap is closing in southern states.   No so much in northern states.   In the city where our national capital resides public education is a dismal failure. Maybe Johnny can read as a result of a serious parent smacking him upside his head or applying a belt to his behind.  The terrorist tactics of punishment serve to provide temporary benefits versus long term image damage.  What part of pay attention do you not understand? Let us...

One of the most helpful statements on middle schooling that I have ever found was written by...
