Before considering whether the key to international peace is to populate the world with powerful states, the very definition of ‘international peace’ must first be contested. As the concepts of ‘peace’ and ‘power’ are human constructs, every theoretical approach defines them in different terms. Peace is most often considered to be the absence of war between states, or the ability to work through conflicts without resorting to violence. However, peace cannot be considered simply an 'antonym of war’. Thus, to...

At the end, when Thompson is asked about ‘Rosebud’, he states that he didn’t find its meaning, and that “maybe ‘Rosebud’ was something [Kane] couldn’t get or something he lost … I guess ‘Rosebud’ is just a piece in a jigsaw puzzle”. Thompson’s failure in finding its meaning suggests a search for alternative meaning in the movie, rather than...

By snipping those genes scientists can precisely select the exact trait that will be pasted into another plant, animal or bacteria,...
