The chimera of the 'International University'

Article Abstract:

The need for education has become universal and its internationalization is inevitable. Universities all over the world are continually pressured to succumb to the needs of the new information age. Technology has made communication between long distances cheaper, thus the sharing of ideas across time zones has become necessary rather than whimsical. However, British universities have not received support from the government and have become the subject of excess audit and intrusion from politicking officials grandstanding their way to popularity.

Global environment and international inequality

Article Abstract:

Global environmental challenges, such as climate change can be distributed internationally. Such responsibilities can be divided among the different countries so as not to concentrate all responsibility and power in one nation. Nations that have been put at a disadvantage by more powerful nations are entitled to demand that the offending party should burdens that are unequal to compensate for the past offense. It has been deemed unfair not to guarantee everyone an adequate minimum, although inequality can not be totally eradicated.
