Millennials are members of Generation Y, a huge demographic born after 1977 and stretching into the 1990s. To be considered part of the Millennial Generation a person needs to have been born in the 1980s or 1990s, meaning the generation includes those in their teens to their early 30s. But some say this is will be the first generation in modern history that can not expect to be more successful than their parents. If the word Millennial isn't ringing a bell, there are a few different terms the generation has been labelled with.
The 48 Laws of Power Background[edit] Greene initially formulated some of the ideas in The 48 Laws of Power while working as a writer in Hollywood and concluding that today's power elite shared similar traits with powerful figures throughout history.[5] In 1995, Greene worked as a writer at Fabrica, an art and media school, and met a book packager named Joost Elffers.[4][8] Greene pitched a book about power to Elffers and six months later, Elffers requested that Greene write a treatment.[4] Although Greene was unhappy in his current job, he was comfortable and saw the time needed to write a proper book proposal as too risky.[10] However, at the time Greene was rereading his favorite biography about Julius Caesar and took inspiration from Caesar's decision to cross the Rubicon River and fight Pompey, thus inciting the Great Roman Civil War.[10] Greene would follow Caesar's example and write the treatment, which later became The 48 Laws of Power.[10] He would note this as the turning point of his life.[10]

Patriotism: A Menace to Liberty What is patriotism? Is it love of one's birthplace, the place of childhood's recollections and hopes, dreams and aspirations? Is it the place where, in childlike naivety, we would watch the fleeting clouds, and wonder why we, too, could not run so swiftly? The place where we would count the milliard glittering stars, terror-stricken lest each one "an eye should be," piercing the very depths of our little souls? If that were patriotism, few American men of today could be called upon to be patriotic, since the place of play has been turned into factory, mill, and mine, while deafening sounds of machinery have replaced the music of the birds. What, then, is patriotism? Gustave Herve, another great anti-patriot, justly calls patriotism a superstition--one far more injurious, brutal, and inhumane than religion. Those who have had the fortune of being born on some particular spot, consider themselves better, nobler, grander, more intelligent than the living beings inhabiting any other spot.

The Corruption Perceptions Index ranks countries and territories according to their perceived levels of public sector corruption. The 2011 index draws on assessments and opinion surveys carried out by independent and reputable institutions. “This year we have seen corruption on protestors’ banners be they rich or poor. Public sector governance that puts the interests of its citizens first is a responsibility that transcends borders. If we work together, the situation shown by this year’s Corruption Perceptions Index can improve.
