​"Most Macedonian history textbooks, particularly those intended for the national history curriculum, cast the body of work associated with former president Kiro Gligorov in the most positive and romanticized of lights. And most textbooks base their ‘findings’ on Gligorov’s now well-known literary legacy, namely his 2001 memoir, suggestively titled 'Macedonia is all we have.'"

Abstract:
​
In this paper, I will attempt to explore the following question: If we accept the premise that master historical narratives are shaped by “great people”, how can we truly know about the past? Are there enough sources to know the truth? By looking at contemporary Macedonian history (since 1991) and its master narrative (post-Yugoslav, sovereign), particularly focusing on one key stake holder, namely former president Kiro Gligorov, I plan to examine the Gligorov biography using available sources: web sources, Kiro Gligorov’s memoir Macedonia is all we have,  TV and newspaper sources. In this text, Kiro Gligorov’s biography is represented using available, revealed resources.

“Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité” was the motto of the French Revolution. Revolutions have often been about restoring liberty and fighting for freedom. Freedom has always settled well in the minds of the people. However equality as a concept has had a colder reception. The rich don’t want to be equal to the poor; the educated not to the illiterate; the men not to women; and the white not to the coloured. In today’s supposedly “modern” society, inequality is still hidden in every corner. Philosophers, political theorists, revolutionaries, dictators, and many others have struggled to define, to fight for, and to understand equality. What does it mean to be equal? Are all men really born equal? Are we morally obliged to treat everyone equally? Two different sets of answers to these questions can be found in the writings of Jean Jacques Rousseau and Karl Marx.

​"Adolescents are often associated with the negative image of staying wide awake at midnight, unable to get up in the morning, and sleepy in class. While adults tend to criticize such “unhealthy” sleep behavior, studies have shown that the adolescent brain is programmed to have unique sleep patterns."
ABSTRACT
​Adolescence is characterized by impulsive and risky decision making. Considering that the brain continues to develop throughout adolescence, the author of this paper hypothesized before researching on the topic that different developmental paces of different brain regions cause risky decision making in adolescence, which are exacerbated by stress and sleep patterns in this period. During research, it is found that the prefrontal cortex, a brain region associated with cognitive functions, is less developed in adolescence than the striatum and amygdala, which play important roles in reward and emotion processing...(continued)
