 Introduction Shinzo Abe , Japan’s longest serving prime minister Shinzo Abe has left an indelible impression on the international community. By recasting Japan’s role in the world through foreign policy, Abe took a country that passively rode the wave of globalization when it practiced gunboat diplomacy into a strategic actor. From remaking Japan’s pacifist identity to cultivating Indo-Pacific partnerships, Abe’s legacy is one of audacious goals, ideological clarity and international outreach. In this blog we examine his vision on the world, some of his key foreign policies, and analyze how he will be remembered as a leader to Japan and to the world. Shinzo Abe Rise and Political Background Shinzo Abe Early Foundations Born in 1954, Shinzo Abe was himself born into a powerful political family.

 Redefining Capitalism: How a Cannibal Capitalist Climbed to the Top of the Business World Yvon Chouinard is not your typical capitalist. The fact that Chouinard is the founder of Patagonia — one of the most widely admired companies in the world, due not only to its excellent outdoor clothing, but also to the ethical compass of the man at its helm — is also kind of a party trick of its own, because he has torn up all the old presumptions about how our economy might work best. He didn’t go into business to make money — he went in to solve problems. The project to create lasting climbing equipment gave way to a pioneering blueprint of how ethical entrepreneurship can thrive. From Dirtbag Climber to Entrepreneurial Reluctant In the days before Patagonia became a billion-dollar brand, Chouinard was a blacksmith and a serious rock climber. Back in the 1950s and ’60s, he made his own climbing gear out of necessity. His wares, first peddled out of the boot of his car, were soon well kno...

 Literature as Power : Morrison’s Aims 100 Which of these is central to power? Toni Morrison frequently insisted that she did not write for storytelling, but for truth-telling. She deployed literature to confront systemic injustices, re-write marginalized histories and present Black life as worthy of serious artistic attention. Instead of making the Black experiences palatable for a white audience, she unapologetically wrote for Black readers — producing material that asserted identity, dignity and resistance. Morrison had said, “I slipped into the border, stood at the edge, claimed it as central.” Both texts challenged the boundaries of what could be seen as the center to the literary world — not just writing Black characters into traditional stories, but making stories entirely in the shape of Black consciousness. She upset the standard gaze, refused to render her characters accessible through white lenses. This was literature as cultural activism. She also believed that l...

  Albert Camus was born on Nov. 7, 1913, in Mondovi, a town in French Algeria.When he was only 1, his father, who fought in World War I, was killed, and his destitute mother raised him.In spite of poverty, Camus did well in school and was accepted at the University of Algiers.He read philosophy with an emphasis on classical philosophy, ethics, and literature. Bergman early on had to give up competitive sports when tuberculosis caused him to be sidelined and interrupted his education, but his early trials gave him an abiding sense of mortality and human frailty — qualities that would resonate in his work later. The light of the Mediterranean, the landscapes of North Africa, the tensions of colonial life indelibly shaped his aesthetics.For Camus, nature was not just backdrop — it was essential to the comprehension of existence.

 How Gabriel García Márquez  Re-Wrote the Rules of Reality — and Science Fiction Gabriel García Márquez, or “Gabo,” was one of the most powerful modern literary figures. His instinct for merging the surreal with the mundane, creating worlds in which the miraculous is no more remarkable than breathing, became a literary movement of its own — magical realism. Late last year, through his inimitable voice, he brought the Latin American storytelling tradition, full of folklore and politics and human emotion, to the world. From his beginnings in journalism to his being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982, García Márquez was all about storytelling power and his fame endures around the world.

 Nietzsche once declared Fyodor Dostoevsky the only psychologist he had anything to learn from, thanks to his psychologically profound novels. A closer look at Crime and Punishment or The Brothers Karamazov reveals more than just fiction. These works offer a masterclass in human psychology that predicted concepts which would only be formalized decades later. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky’s exploration of psychological repression became the foundation for psychoanalysis. Freud’s praise was telling – he called The Brothers Karamazov “the most masterly novel ever written.”His broader work serves as a big experimental canvas where he continuously explores the problem of selfhood. Let me take you through the hidden psychological dimensions that make Dostoevsky’s novels revolutionary psychological studies. These works are not just literary masterpieces – they continue to appeal to our understanding of the human mind today. The Psychological Depth of Fyodor ...

  George Orwell Experiences in British India and England Colonial-era Burma played a crucial role in shaping Orwell’s hatred of imperialism. His essay, Shooting an Elephant draws from the psychic price of enforcing alien rule. In it, Orwell kills an elephant, not for any necessity, but to stay in power before a crowd of natives. This is a sign of the demoralization of the oppressors as well as the oppressed. Back in England, Orwell insisted on not romanticizing poverty. He saw it himself — working dead-end jobs, sleeping in shelters and documenting class divisions. He realized the way so many truths about human life were falsified, or at least disguised, in the language of both economics and politics. These early observations would become recurring motifs in his later fiction. The Spanish Civil War and Socialist Disillusionment Orwell fought the good fight against the fascists in Spain in 1936 with the POUM (Workers’ Party of Marxist Unification). His experience started naively ...

Her Literary Career, From Juvenilia to Masterpieces Jane ’s major novels were published anonymously. Her first significant success was with Sense and Sensibility (1811), which was followed by Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Then two additional novels — Northanger Abbey and Persuasion — were published posthumously. Each book features clever but strong-willed women in conflicting stations of life, pulled between duty and desire. Her characters are seldom exceptional — they are average people with real-life problems. And the result is timelessness and a universality of appeal. Her career was brief. Apparently, Addison’s disease or Hodgkin’s lymphoma shortened her life. But in only six finished novels, Austen transformed the literary landscape. Specifically,there is no dramatic action in her works. Instead, these are dramas of small gestures, of the dialogue and social dynamics between the characters. Subtley, he turned into an art form. Notably, her ...
