Blood diamonds are diamonds that are mined by youngchildren and slaves to provide money to fuel civil wars in Africa. Rebels sell diamonds to distributors for lots of money so that they can buy guns, ammo, and vehicles so that they can fight the government. Often times slaves and children die or get seriously hurt from mining diamonds. This is why there is a conflict. Blood is shed so that rebels can continue to fight the government, and cause chaos in their country.

The number of homeless individuals is on the rise in recent times, but no one is noticing. Up to a quarter of the population in some places spend their lives in the streets.Our goal here is to promote awareness and compassion about homelessness in our society and the rest of the world through providing real facts. It is heartless to remain in a cage of selfishness while our fellow human beings endure the pain of cold and lack of food. As human beings, we are capable of much more.

This website is designed to inform, not only teens, but also adults, about slavery. We believe that young people, as well as their parents, should know about the true events that took place during the transatlantic slave trade. Also, they should know that slavery is still taking place today and that anyone could possibly be taken into slavery, which is currently referred to as human trafficking. It is our hope that people find out the truth about what happened in the past, and what is happening now. Hopefully some of them will look at the people who were/are involved with enslavement differently by helping the ones who are still involved. Everyone’s decision counts about what goes on in the world. Our website creates the opportunity for changing the world.

This website concerns the history of Chinatown in Seattle and its immigrants. This topic is important because Chinese and other Asian immigrants had a significant impact on Seattle. They contributed a lot, yet received no recognition, instead only harsh words and racist epitaphs. They were treated as second class citizens, shunned away from society and put into a little area of Seattle called Chinatown. This area has a lot of history, yet it is always overlooked. We want to educate Chinatown/International District's immigrants on how its social reality shaped their life.

Our site explores about abdi dalem,employees at Yogyakarta Keraton, an ancient tradition which still exist until now. In here we would reveal about their job description: who these people are,what exactly their duty is, how they accomplish the duty, what they earn from this job, and what makes this occupation so interesting. However, they still dont get enough attention as they deserve. These Abdi Dalems deserves appreciation and welfare. Both things that they hope could accept not only from the sultan but also from all stage of society.
Our project aim is to make people notice about how important it is to maintance our traditional culture. Especially in this globalization period where people are becoming less concern and give less attention to ancestors haritage. Therefore, we have to keep our culture or less we will loss it. Since we live in indonesia , a multicultural country which has so many tradition and so many tribes. We could make a huge progress by simply starting a little step. Our first step is to start from local culture in Yogyakarta, so in this case we talk about abdi dalem. If we ourselves don’t give attention to our own culture, who else will? By being concerned with our culture means preventing it’s extention and also preventing culture piracing by others.

That's because we felt that it was a fun
way to raise the awareness of your surroundings.
Through our website, we hope that our viewers
can learn more about why people act the way
they do, even if it is done unconsciously. What
is the message they are trying to convey
through their posture? You may even get to
find out how they are feeling without even
asking or talking to them at all. It also
helps you to know what type of body languages
you should not portray. Does your body language
sometimes convey rudeness or is found offending? This is
the chance where you finally get to know it all!

Our project is a narrative about the life of the local community in Singapore. It aims to provide information about the everyday life of the people living in Singapore and provides insights into their daily activities. Through our project, we hope to introduce to readers all over the world, some of which might not have the chance or means to visit Singapore, the authentic lifestyle of common locals in Singapore. This is different from what tourists (those who visit Singapore purely with the objective of sight-seeing and touring), might understand about Singaporeans. Since facts about Singapore and information about Singapore such as attractions and local cuisine are widely available on the Internet and in books, hence our project aims to present information and insights which are not readily available or easily obtainable. To achieve this, our project aims to share our personal insights, observations, as well as research about the lives of our local community.
In our project, we have chosen to include Singaporeans as well as foreign immigrants living in Singapore as the local community in Singapore, as this is necessary in order for us to accurately portray and for readers to understand the highly cosmopolitan nature of Singapore.
We have highlighted and classified the different aspects of locals’ lifestyle in seven broad categories: Singaporean Homes, Schooling, Leisure & Entertainment, Singaporean Identity, Foreign Immigrants and Transport. Altogether, these categories introduce multi-aspects of the lives of our local community.
Since a picture speaks a thousand words, we have made it a point to include photographs (taken personally by our team members) to reinforce or describe the content that we have narrated on regarding the lives of our local community. This will guarantee that information and viewpoints are presented in a more interesting and comprehensive way.
We hope that our project will help readers from all over the world understand more about Singapore and know about the lifestyle of the common local (or non-local) in Singapore, as well as the Singapore culture. Hopefully, our project can also arouse the curiosity and interest of readers about Singapore, and give them reason and meaning to make a visit to Singapore.

Through this project we wish to enlarge upon the otaku culture. We first started with four different approaches: otaku (terminology and development in human society), manga (Japanese comic books), anime (Japanese animations) and martial arts, but then the project extended to other domains of this subculture (like Origami, J-Music, Kakuro and games).
Essential question: What is the Otaku sub-culture and what are its implications in society?
Expected outcomes: We hope to offer a platform for those interested in such subjects and wish to learn more or for those who haven’t even been exposed to these subjects. We also hope to become a great source of not only information, but of entertainment too and to be able to raise awareness of this subculture that has gained a lot of ground all over the world in the past years.
This project contains 59 images, of which more than 85% were either photos taken by team members or their drawings. It also contains 3 videos made by team members and several articles that are 100% original.
We started this project first of all because all the team members spend a lot of their time with otaku-related activities, so we saw in this project an opportunity to put some light on it, and show that it is something that shouldn't be seen as weird, strange or useless. It is an opportunity to raise awareness and try to create a better society that is more united and understands all its components.

Man is always competing with each other and also with nature in one form or the other. With the discovery of fire man started competing with nature he started competing with nature by defeating the creed of darkness. From then man was competing with nature and other living organisms. Now he is able to dominate other organisms but he is unable to reveal some mysteries of nature… sometimes he is able to overcome the hazards kept forward by the nature but sometimes he is unable to do anything for to overcome the nature.
He is able to overcome some of the hazards of the nature due to the technology he has developed and is developing but are these technologies really helpful to the man kind or these having even banes which are more serious than the boons???
He is not only competing with nature but now he is also competing with fellow human beings to overcome each other. He is trying to become superior in politics by annexing other states or countries, he is trying to dominate one another in the field of science and technology, culture in territory, and in other sectors.
This had both positives and negatives. Positives are because as a result of this there is a competition because of which he is trying to develop a lot and at rapid pace. Sometimes if this competition increases then there can be chances of some negatives which you will see discussed in this site.
In this site we are going to show from the past till now how man has developed due to the competition he faced with nature and also with fellow human beings. And also we are going to show what he will be in the future because of this competition going on with nature and fellow human beings. Will he able to overcome the nature and become superior to the nature or even with the existence of extensive technology man is unable to overcome the nature or will technology only dissolve him???!!!
Go through to explore the world...

From this sprung all manners of meanings in life, from ad astra to astronomy to astrology. The lattermost was a science that showed how the stars, perhaps through influence with the gods, or even just being there, affected the lives of the humans down on earth. Now, astrology is an art without scientific evidence. Yet, is it really as false as most people now believe it to be?

We have used our common knowledge and observations about teen hair and cultures and put it in our web site, to teach you all about what we love so much. This web site was dedicated solely to your hair, the purpose, the styles, the textures, how to and so much more. Not only can you test your knowledge with our hair quiz, but also you can test your skills with our hair puzzle. We tried to make our web site as informative as possible and hope you learn as much as we hoped to have taught.

The Ecotrashpay project proposes a new way of attributing and paying for garbage, conveting the old tax on the garbage based on the home surface expressed in square metres, in a new kind of rate based on the numbers of components of the family and above all calculated on the effective quantity of garbage produced.
The heart of the Project is the information system storing or a smart card in addition to the database.
Considering the wide diffusion of this new technology (ie: the SIM used in cellphone, the new credit cards, etc) witch, for the security offered to the data protection has been chosen by the Italian government for the production of personal identity card, our idea is to employ one single card for several services: identity cards, citizen’s card, bank card and naturally ecotrashpay card.
Il progetto Ecotrashpay propone un nuovo modo di conferire e pagare i rifiuti, convertendo la vecchia tassa sui rifiuti basata sulla superficie dell’abitazione in una nuova tariffa basata sul numero dei componenti della famiglia e soprattutto sull’effettiva quantit` di rifiuti prodotta.
Considerando la grande diffusione di questa nuova tecnologia che, per la sicurezza offerta h stata scelta dal governo italiano la produzione di carte d’identit`, la nostra idea h quella di implementare in una singola card diversi servizi: carta d’identit`, carta del cittadino, carta di credito e naturalmente Ecotrashpay Card.

The project "Etiquette" is the reflection of our conception of etiquette as a social science. We believe there are misunderstandings about what etiquette is about. We think people have the misconception that etiquette is about rules to make their lives more difficult and limit their actions. We believe the true aim of etiquette is to help all people of all lifestyles get along with each other. Etiquette is a wide and complex topic. We begin our project by giving users interesting facts from the History of Etiquette to get a general idea of the topic. In our opinion, Table Etiquette (table manners, table arrangement, how to at meals with others) is one of the most important and contemporary issues of etiquette. Our conception of etiquette is a wide ranging one. We also regard etiquette as a special social language and have included a section on Body Language and a new science called kinesics. The rebus, tests, amusing artworks and photos, the design and a sense of humor give a lighthearted attitude to a subject that often becomes heavyhanded. The information is presented in condensed form and the interesting facts will enrich your knowledge.

Often referred to as science's "dark twin," the subject of the paranormal has often remained cloaked in mystery and suspicion. This entry’s goal is to shed light upon the topic, specifically parapsychology, by presenting it thoroughly, scientifically, and truthfully.
Considering that few people have ever heard of parapsychology, and that even fewer know anything accurate about it, we hope that this site will enlighten people on this fascinating, age-old subject and correct many of the misrepresentations and misunderstandings surrounding the topic.

We have created a website on one of the most difficult subjects we could have thought of: Torture. Under a pile of documents and web addresses, we have chosen, cut, copied and commented the material that best suited our leading idea for this website, which is an interior analysis: I could be a victim but never a torturer.
I want you to know they exist. Today. All over the world.
Arguments treated:definition, purpose and methods of torture; torturer, victims and impunity; where and how; laws and organisations for the human rights; Universal Declaration of Human Rights; bibliography and other.

The issue of children's rights has been catapaulted into the limelight in recent times.

Our site explores the issues covered in that treaty, as well as social issues related to the survival, protection, development and participation rights of children. At the same time, action tutorials are provided to help children advocate for their rights. This was a site made by children for children. Make no mistake though, even the most informed of adults can learn a thing or two by perusing our pages.

The typical human being probably thinks that he or she is not affected by subliminal messages because they either do not work or are illegal. Neither of those assumptions are entirely true. By definition, the word subliminal means "below the threshold of consciousness." The threshold of consciousness is the dividing line between something that can be processed by the conscious mind and something that enters the subconscious mind without any such processing. A subliminal message is not intense enough to produce a sensation but has sufficient intensity to influence the behavior and mental processes of one's mind. There are many ways in which a suggestion can be delivered to the audience, and you will see some such methods discussed in the advertising section of this site. When an individual is told to do something, he or she generally thinks about the positive and negative consequences, and then decides whether or not it is a good idea. This is done in the conscious mind, where the individual is aware of the suggestion he or she is being given. The decisions the conscious mind makes are based upon the knowledge and reasoning skills one has developed through experience and education. The subconscious mind does not have these reasoning skills, and thus has no ability to distinguish right from wrong, or judge the information it receives. When a suggestion enters the subconscious mind, it is taken as the truth and stored for future reference. For this reason, the strength of subliminal messages has virtually no boundaries, and can be dangerous when used improperly. These may be controlled to an extent by governments around the world, but we are still vulnerable to subliminal influence.
