Hay una regla universal que a los economistas les cuesta reconocer: "Cuanto menor es el crecimiento de la natalidad, mayor es el nivel de bienestar de sus ciudadanos; cuanto mayor es el crecimiento de la natalidad, mayor es su nivel de miseria" y "En los países donde se mantiene durante mas años ese descenso, son los que tienen mayor bienestar". Cualquier estudiante de economía puede realizar los gráficos correspondientes a cada país del mundo y podrá comprobar, que salvo pequeñas variaciones, se mantiene lo empírico de esta ley. Si la natalidad baja en el tercer mundo, desatara una reacción en cadena que progresivamente acabaría con el hambre, la guerra, la miseria y la enfermedad. Desaparecería el concepto de tercer mundo o primer mundo. Desaparecería el termino "inmigrante". El racis...

[Ken Burns] is widely hailed as the premier American documentary filmmaker who has created several award winning miniseries such as "The American Civil War," "Baseball," and "Unforgivable Blackness," all receiving Emmy Awards. His work has been noted for their detail, historical accuracy, and cinematography. His miniseries are important pieces of work that are shown in schools as historically accurate and become collectors items. So when previews of his work were released it came as a shock to those in the Hispanic community that there were no Hispanics in any of the 14 hours!
On a sociological level we see this documentary as a euphemism of today's society and how they see the Hispanic community. This documentary wasn't created in a vacuum, but during a time when anti-Hispanic hysteria...

Like Hal Asbby*s meditative 1979 satire Being There, also about conniving, self- absorbed Washingtonians, In the Loop begins with an accident In an apparent slip of the tongue, Simon (Tom Hollander), a minister in the British government, says in an interview that war in the Middle East is "unforeseeable." In response to Simon's gaffe, the Prime Minister's angry enforcer Malcolm (Peter Capaldi) spews a torrent of obscenities (he spews torrents of obsceni- ties in response to everything). Simon attempts to modulate the statement without actually retracting it. No, that technique wasn't invented by American politicians.

In the historiography of the 1967 War, the common reading is to portray it as an "inadvertent war." Using recently declassified documents, this article offers an alternative interpretation. In critically examining existing master plan theories, it is shown that the United Arab Republic's (UAR) military actions were limited in size and were without aggressive intentions. The Israeli decision to strike was taken not for military reasons but rather to prevent a diplomatic solution which might have entailed disadvantages for the Israeli side.

Some Crumbs for the Birds" is a documentary film set in Ruwaished, a remote truck-stop-like village in Jordan, one stop away from the Iraqi border. The film was directed by Nassim Amouch with [Annemarie Jacir] as the director of photography, while "An Explanation" is a six-minute experimental short about the witch-hunt of Middle Eastern Studies professors at Columbia University as told through a montage of the University's architecture coupled with numerous verbal attacks on faculty members via campus voicemail. Albeit the intense narratives of both films, Jacir's eye for captivating shots distinguishes her cinematic contribution to the festival's program.
In "Some Crumbs for the Birds," Jacir created a fascinating portrait of some of Ruwaished's inhabitants, who appear to live on the ...
