	The Just World Theory
		Moreover, when we encounter evidence suggesting that the world is not just, we quickly act to restore justice by helping the victim or we persuade ourselves that no injustice has occurred.
		If the belief in a just world simply resulted in humans feeling more comfortable with the universe and its capriciousness, it would not be a matter of great concern for ethicists or social scientists.
		But the research suggests that humans have a need to bring their beliefs about what is right into conformity with the objective reality they encounter--and that they will work to achieve consistency either by modifying their beliefs or attempting to modify that reality.

	THE WORLD OF EMPIRICISM
		The world is viewed as a three-storied structure, with the earth in the centre, the heaven above, and the underworld beneath.
		The main point, however, is not the concrete results of scientific research and the contents of a world view, but the method of thinking from which world views follow.
		On the contrary, the important point about scientific activity is not that it provides theories which every generation in turn can take as truth, but rather that it accustoms us to giving up our beliefs, to change and alter them, to value them without being in bondage to them.

	THE TRUE CULMINATION OF CAPITAL: THE WORLD MARKET (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		All of three forms of class struggle implicitly point to the world market as the ultimate stage in which the rate of surplus value is determined.
		Wage laborers throughout the world market are socially related not merely through the exchange of produced commodities, but also through objective ties established by capital flight; the divide and conquer strategy unites geographically separated workers by simultaneously subjecting them to the same power.
		Institutionalized austerity in the poorest regions of the world economy is systematically connected with hyperconsumerism within the wealthiest sectors of the wealthiest region, which happens to be the greatest debtor in the world economy as well.

		In that respect, the World Bank's 1993 World Development Report made an unusually big splash, not only because it appeared to represent a radical rethinking of the monetarist dogma which has dominated international financial circles for the past two decades, but also because of the enormity of its claims.
		Entitled Investing in Health, this report is addressed to the "developing world" in general and to those donors who seek to maximize the value of their contribution to improving health in the Third World.
		With this document the World Bank admits, for example, that the private sector may in certain circumstances be less efficient in the provision of health care than the public sector.

		Sachs, named one of the 100 most influential leaders in the world by Time magazine and author of "The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time," gave a teleconference interview earlier this month for journalists interested in learning about the Millennium Project.
		Sachs points out that the U.S. gives the lowest amount of national income as official development assistance of any of the 22 donor countries in the Development Assistance Committee.
		Extreme poverty is the kind of poverty that afflicts about a billion people on the planet and leaves them so desperately poor that they can't meet their basic needs, so that every day is nothing less than a struggle for survival."

		As an outcome of the joint World Bank—Inter-national Monetary Fund Annual Meetings in September 1999, which followed extensive worldwide consultations, debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative, launched by the Bank and the Fund in 1996, was enhanced to be made deeper, broader, and faster.
		A large body of new poverty-focused research undertaken for the World Development Report 2000/2001 (which updates the landmark 1990 issue on poverty) is aimed at strengthening the analytical basis for poverty reduction strategies.

		Since the Palmer index is not routinely calculated in most of the world, Dai and colleagues used long-term records of temperature and precipitation from a variety of sources to derive the index for the period 1870-2002.
		The results were consistent with those from a historical simulation of global land surface conditions, produced by a comprehensive computer model developed by scientists at NCAR, NASA, Georgia University of Technology, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Arizona.

		It should again be noted that the rest system, like many of World of Warcraft's features, is still being tested and balanced, and it may change radically (or not at all) between now and when the game launches.
		Exactly when the game will launch remains unclear, but Blizzard still aims to release World of Warcraft later this year.
