In Malayalam Language, many words for prostitute exist like ‘veshya’, ‘vebicharini’ etc but there seems no word for a male counterpart.Therefore we find a clear demarcation between how the Malayalam speech community has varied concepts regarding time inculcated by culture when considered along the lines of an English speaker.In Malayalam language, terms for various professions are typically associated with a particular group, like a specific gender, class or faith.Also while talking of time the Malayalam speech community will have differing perception of the external reality as they dissect time not the way done by an English speaker because unlike the latter who thinks of the day as 24 hours, the former considers the same as 60 ‘nazhika...

Second, although environmental refugees will pose a grave challenge if water scarcity is not solved, conflict between governments ultimately represents the most troubling aspect of water scarcity from a realist perspective.On a planet that is 75% water, the term “water scarcity” seems a ridiculous misnomer.Today, however, water scarcity menaces global prosperity to such an extent that old paradigms of water usage are obsolete.In more immediate terms, water pricing will have two primary opponents: those that fear being unable to afford water (the world’s poor) and those that use immense quantities of water (agricultural producers).If disaster is to be averted for the billions who face the impending crisis of water scarcity, humans must fi...

In Africa south of the Sahara, where agriculture is predominantly rain-fed (that is, it relies on rainfall for water), farmers’ access to water is limited based on time (during droughts and dry seasons) and space (in arid areas).Clean water is the water that is safe enough to be consumed by humans with low risk of immediate or long term harm (Wikipedia 2014).Global issues (2010) points out that another reason for water crisis is the commoditization of water.Promoting water as a commodity has led to an increased control of water by multinational corporations (MNC).Water scarcity in these regions is not necessarily caused by a physical lack of water.

The scarcity of water is increasing worldwide and the quality of the water is continually deteriorating.Water scarcity is particularly severe in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, owing to population growth, urbanization and industrialization.Under special circumstances it is a possibility that scarcity of fresh water resources may give rise to serious armed conflict.Nevertheless, the increasing scarcity of water raises doubt about the sustainability of these cooperative agreements over the international rivers.First, in an interstate conflict, the deliberate targeting of water storage facilities may be directly responsible for inducing water scarcity or reducing the water quality of the opponent.
