My assumptions about history began to change 13 years ago. I was
teaching a class called Media, Stereotyping and Violence when the tragic
events of 9/11 overtook our lives. In the days that followed, my
students and I confronted a question: Is all this violence inevitable?

Top military experts and government institutions like the U.S.
Department of Defense and National Intelligence Council warn that
climate destabilization threatens our national security, yet global
emissions just keep going up.

In the near 10 years since we first began working in West Bengal,
we've collected a massive amount of data and have more than a few
lessons learned as we pushed through the myriad challenges.

Let's stop talking about the Cold War's revival as if Vladimir
Putin is the one who raised the dead. We are the vampire hunters who
failed to drive a stake through its heart. So we shouldn't be surprised,
when we go out for a stroll one day to survey our domain, to hear the
click of sharp teeth poised to tear into its latest victim.

It goes without saying that the iPhone is a status symbol. But
it's a revolutionary status symbol. Unlike that Birkin bag, it's a
status symbol with really cool whiz bang upgrade-able features

Obama defeated Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential
primaries and took office on the premise that he would wind down
America's role in Middle Eastern and Central Asian conflicts. But his
legacy will be the contrary.
Norway might not care about sustainability or cruelty or even its
reputation, but what I find the most puzzling is the country's near
messianic belief that, as long as it keeps killing whales, people will
come back to whale meat. The evidence just isn't there.

It is my view that men and women have each have a different
approach to exploring. While men seek to conquer, women seek to
understand. Perhaps this is the reason that women explorers
traditionally get short shrift.
Even though the U.S. has downplayed the threat posed by Al Qaeda,
Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be wise to take this particular
instance more seriously. Unlike previous saber rattling by Al Qaeda or
even Pakistan, this latest threat is more dangerous because of its
timing and agenda.

It is true that environmental pollution and food safety have
become serious problems in China. China is now the second-largest
economy in the world and its military power is also growing, but a list
of worrisome issues is also getting longer, such as corruption cases, a
widening gap between the rich and the poor and the much-to-be-desired
national quality, with environmental pollution staying on the top of the
list.
