The Calcutta Chromosome is a 1996 sci-fi novel by Amitav Ghosh, a Calcutta-born British writer. The novel speaks of the secret society that influences the development of epidemiology and genetic sciences since the late nineteenth century in order to discover the secret of immortality through a complicated ‘reincarnation’ process of assimilating an external body with one’s chromosomes. Despite its complex futuristic and even theological themes, the novel presents a remarkable case of a post-colonial novel. Ghosh presents the future of cultural identity that resists being blended in a high-tech society of the near future, and, through making it interact with topics of mortality and negative theology of silence, provides a remarkably unique take on the traditional motifs of colonial legacy and cultural heritage.
The fulfilling job of Roia Atmar, a citizen of Western Australia, was ruined after being doused by her husband, who set her on fire. After that, she was hospitalized with severe and horrific injuries, which would take a long time to get, healed (Parkinson, 2019). Her case is a synonymous incidence of domestic violence that is rampant throughout the world. Without the support of vigilant groups and family members, women and children live in an abusive environment unnoticed. Therefore, the prevalence of this vice is at the forefront of health concerns, not only in Australia but across all countries around the globe. One may wonder how domestic violence has many manifestations, despite the existence of many human rights organizations throughout the world (Parkinson, 2019). What is the underline cause of domestic violence in society? Are speculations that women have become unbearable for men the real cause of the problem? I hypothesize that extreme jealousy, difficulty in controlling anger, and low self-esteem are the major causes of domestic violence throughout the world.

The film “The Message” is about Islam from the beginning until now. The movie start with Muhammad receiving a Koran from Angel Gabriel but its ends sadly with death. Like in most instances where a message start from a few then get disseminated to others, the spread of the Islamic religion and message started with the Prophet and a few followers. It was after this that the message spread to others. One of the notably features of the Islamic belief portrayed in the movie is the failure to publicly demonstrate or disclose the life and residence of Prophet Mohammad. Instead, the focus of the movie is on Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalid, the Prophet’s uncle, popularly referred as Jesus by the Christians. Because of oppressions by the Mecca chiefs, Islam was founded by Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalid.
Introduction Australia is a constitutional monarchy, one of the members of the Commonwealth. The Queen of the Great Britain is formally the head of Australia. The queen is just a symbol of the country, she doesn’t rule it. All the powers belong to governor-general as her representative in Australia. The question about changing a status of the country from constitutional monarchy to republic is very loudly debated during the last decades. The constitutional monarchy is not an appropriate form for the modern political situation. In recent times parliamentary democracies are replacing monarchies, the republican form of government prevails in the modern world. It’s not an easy thing to transform the monarchy, even the constitutional one, into a republic, as it’s necessary to change all the political institutions, to insert amendments into Constitution, and to change the entire political system.

“The history of our civilization knows a lot of interesting people who left noticeable traces. Thus, Joan of Arc is an outstanding personality that may teach you a thing or two. It’s a courageous and heroic girl who fought for the sake of her people. Joan of Arc serves as an example of dignity, courage, and dedication and we should learn from such people. A story of Joan of Arc hits back to the days of the Hundreds’ Years War. She was born in 1412 in Domrémy, which is France. Her parents were simple farmers. She learned the most common skills of farming and being a housewife. The girl never ventured far away from home and seemed to be the most peaceful person in the land. Nevertheless, everything has dramatically changed after the king of England – Henry V – decided to invade the north of France. He wanted to possess the entire country and claim it as his own. The Burgundians gave him the necessary support. However, many Frenchmen opposed such a decision and the war become really cruel and desperate. This was when our heroine played a significant role.
Say we need two thousand dollars to buy the services and goods. But in real life, we earn and spend more money on buying other things that we could easily do without. The process is called a luxurious consumption, and the modern tendency is such that it is compared to something extravagant, abnormal, and even evil. So is luxury an evil? Or maybe, it depends on your interpretation… We all have quite different standards of luxury. Everyone has rather different desires and requirements. But according to the Bible, a man must either go and sell all his material possessions or give them to the needy. The money bags he should provide himself with must be full of treasure in the heavens, where there are no thieves or destructions. And the real treasure must be where the heart is. Yes, since the dawn of time, being rich has been linked to the lack of moral. We believe that money changes people, making them see themselves being better than others. Labelling has already become a tradition. But labelling people with the word like evil, we are mostly going the wrong way.
The outstanding people are not easy to compare, especially if we talk about the people from the past whose lives, acts and motives have been minced through the subjective opinions of pro and contra witnesses. Still, there are works and speeches of those whose point of view have changed the world we live in. Let us try to look into their motives and ideas and see how the two prominent advocates of the American black citizens’ rights have influenced the political upheavals of the 1960s. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X had a different social background in terms of the formation of their life principles towards the injustice of the world. They have certainly both faced the racial oppression from the early lives, but Malcolm, who had later become more radical in his ideas of fighting the racism, had certainly suffered more from the childhood. According to his autobiography, one of Malcolm’s father’s uncles had been lynched, and also Earl Little had lost three brothers due to the violence of white men [7].
Within the scope of this research, we will analyze “Design” work written by Robert Frost. One of the characteristics of Frost’s poetry is speculativeness. It is particularly apparent in the parables and its origin seems to be in the poet’s familiarity with his material. He not only feels sympathy with material common in experience, he also views it from the vantage ground of generalized experience. The critic who claims that any one characteristic must be present to create a poem is eventually made to look foolish by a poet who finds it possible to do without that one particular thing. If the recorded poetry of the world proves anything, it proves that a poem is never one fixed element, or a fixed combination of elements, but a combination of elements the boundaries of which are constantly being shifted. Thus, though a reader or critic of Robert Frost’s poems notices immediately the accurately observed physical facts, there is no need to assume there is no other way to write poems.
