  The Shocking Truth about Animal...

  The concept of animal rights is a deeply philosophical and ethical issue that challenges our views on how animals should be treated and regarded in society. At its core, animal rights is the belief that animals, like humans, have inherent value and deserve certain protections from harm, exploitation, and abuse. This perspective asserts that animals are sentient beings capable of experiencing pain, fear, and pleasure, and thus, they should not be subjected to unnecessary suffering or exploitation for human gain. 
  Historically, animals have been viewed largely as property or resources for human use, whether in agriculture, industry, or even entertainment. Over time, however, a growing awareness of animal sentience and the recognition of their complex emotional and cognitive abilities have led to significant shifts in how societies regard and treat animals. The modern animal rights movement can trace its origins to the mid-19th century, with the establishment of the first animal protection laws and the formation of advocacy groups dedicated to the welfare of animals. 
  The industrial revolution marked a turning point in the relationship between humans and animals, as it saw the rise of factory farming, animal testing for medical and cosmetic purposes, and the widespread use of animals in entertainment. These practices sparked widespread concern about the ethics of animal use, leading to the formation of various animal welfare organizations, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in 1866. These groups campaigned for more humane treatment of animals, but it wasn’t until the 20th century that the concept of animal rights as a broader ethical movement began to take shape.

  The Forthcoming End of the Kali...

  Hinduism has a complex system of world ages and cycles of creation and destruction as its chief characteristics. The remarkable theory of the yugas has always played a prominent role within this elaborate system. The article explains why society is and what people should do if they want to live according to religious principles. 
  India’s yuga system was formed during a crucial period in its history, roughly from the 5th century B.C.E. to the 5th century C.E. The dominant Brahmana Vedic tradition had to adapt and transform to survive. It was a period of profound change in all spheres: social, political, economic, religious, and philosophical. 
  Several challenges that confronted the authoritative religious traditions of the Time also led to revolutionary ideas that would become syncretic new religious traditions. During this period, Buddhism and Jainism emerged, and the reworked Brahmana religion we all know today as Hinduism. It was not precisely the need to confront these profound shifts in Indian religious traditions and social conditions that provided the fertile ground for a theory of world ages.

  Kingdom of Hawai’i The: The...

  The Hawaiian kingdom existed for about a century, from the early 1790s to 1893, starting when King Kamehameha finally united the islands and lasting until American planters and businessmen staged a coup and forced Queen Lili’uokulani to abdicate. During the century of its existence, the kingdom offered its native peoples considerable protection. For example, in the later 1800s, several thousands of Pacific islanders were, in effect, kidnapped and forced to serve as indentured laborers in places like the Guano Islands in Peru and plantations in Queensland in the nefarious practice called “Blackbirding.” The kingdom offered literacy, converted its people to Christianity, and accommodated its people to the intrusive outside world. The achievement of establishing the kingdom belongs to an outstanding warrior king, Kamehameha the Great. 
  	Kamehameha is probably the single most important figure in Hawai’i’s history. His life bracketed a time when Hawaii was its own world, and its people were unaware of the existence of anywhere outside the archipelago to when Hawai'i was inseparably joined to the world economy. A pivotal year was 1778 when the British exploring expedition under the famous Captain Cook “discovered” the islands. Cook was killed in 1779 by Hawaiians in a brawl based on mutual misunderstandings. Kamehameha was there, and he quickly realized the utility of firearms and cannons and used them in his conquest. He had two English captives who became close advisors and helped smooth Hawai'i's transition from an isolated island group to a participant in the Pacific world. 
  	The intrusion of the outside world was inevitable, epic, and destructive. The islands’ total population at the time of Cook’s “discovery” is unknown, but it is variously estimated to be between 300,000 to 1,000,000 at the point of contact in 1778.
