បញ្ហាជីវិត

បញ្ហាត្រូវការពេលវេលាក្នុងការដោះស្រាយ។ ត្រូវតែតាំងចិត្ត ត្រូវអត់ធ្មត់ បន្តដើរទៅមុខ ត្រូវមានក្តីសង្ឃឹម មានស្នាមញញឹម។ ថ្ងៃមួយនោះនឹងមកដល់ ថ្ងៃដែលចម្លើយត្រូវបានឆ្លើយបញ្ជាក់ និងបញ្ហាត្រូវបានដោះស្រាយ។ ជីវិតគឺហត់នឿយ ប៉ុន្តែបើជំនះភាពលំបាក ហត់នឿយទាំងនេះបាន នោះយើងនឹងអាចរកក្តីសុខឃើញមិនខាន យូរឬឆាប់ឱ្យតែខំព្យាយាម៕

Step Up

One step up, one step down. Two steps up, three steps down. Well, actually, this piece of writing is not about learning how to dance. It is about what happens in our lives.

Should Terrorists Be Considered As Combatants under Humanitarian Law?

In the past, the world had dealt with issues existing in war time which happened between state and state or among states. After World War II that caused a large number of people dead including soldiers and civilians, states come together to establish rules in order to limit the dead of people, protect civilians and ensure morality during armed conflict, particularly the Hague Law and Geneva Law. Under these humanitarian laws, states’ armed forces are classified as lawful combatants who can perform operation, participate in hostilities and can be a lawful target during war.[1] Also, the law provides a protection to non-combatants including civilians, prisoner of war (POW), wounded, sick, and so on.

However, in this new century, the world has to deal with other type of issue happening in a peace time. It is the act of terrorism committed by terrorist groups.

Why Did the Treaty of Versailles of 1919 Fail?

After the end of World War I, on 28 June 1919 at Versailles, Paris, France, the Treaty of Versailles had established and signed by the allied powers including the United States represented by Woodrow Wilson, Great Britain by David Lloyd, France by Clemenceau, Japan and Italy and central power is Germany. Two major purposes of this treaty are to restrict the power of Germany and to ensure peace and security between both parties as well as in the world. It had put a pressure and limitation in reconstruction Germany’s armed force which known as Reichswehr and also demanding this country to make a reparation to the damaged countries such as France and Great Britain.

However, later on, it turned out that the treaty was fail due to a few significant reasons. The purpose of the article is to identify and analyze the different factors which caused the failure of the Treaty of Versailles. 

Being an Imperfectionist

“Everything needs to be PERFECT!,” people say. But they’ve done nothing to fit their words.

Everyone of us like perfection. We like to do things perfectly, see things work out and come out perfectly. It is the fact that perfectionism is good since it makes us feel great, superior, and outstanding. However, nothing is perfect in this world.

No War Means in Peace?

When in peace, people create war; when in war, people seek for peace. And when not in war people still cannot find peace. So what is the real meaning of peace? Peace has been defined variously, but the question is that does the absence of war really show that the world is in peace?

ASEAN Peacekeeping Force?

After the end of the Cold War, peacekeeping has become an increasingly popular method to solve conflicts around the world.

How about in Southeast Asia particularly ASEAN?

“Be a man!”, “Drink a little!”, “Why did you come here if not to drink?” Sound familiar? These phrases are used by drinkers to persuade people to drink.

After that you take the girl’s clothes off,” said Raymond Chandler, an American novelist.
