Derived from this cultural motif, the phrase “Faustian bargain” refers to any form of agreement that involves a person losing his soul in the process.

HOW MUCH do you love your country? The love one feels for his or her mother country is called patriotism. Patriotism does not hold the same value for everyone. Also, as the world changes throughout the decades, the concept of patriotism has changed as well.

IN 1991, Stephen Mobley was convicted of armed robbery and murdering a restaurant manager. At first sight, the incident looked like any other case of homicidal burglary.

The problem arises not on
