  The correlation of thinking and consciousness is yet another complex equation that is under study by scientists and social scientists. What is given more weightage? Can we compare experience and logical reasoning into two separate conceptions? Well, that is not still in process of research as there different theories on this linkage between logical reasoning and thinking.  Consciousness is an experience and being aware of the environment and its influence on the human mind. The human mind assesses consciousness as an experience of knowing whether some phenomenon takes place or how you kind experience any phenomenon, for example, whether how your mind perceives any stimulus that changes the environment. Humans comprehend the mind through different mechanisms when they assess change in their environment. The sense of awareness of what is going on around any individual in a specific environment. For example war or crisis how shapes the human mind towards it. Thinking is the les...

Consciousness and rationality are seemingly similar but have different meanings and scopes. Consciousness is the ability to comprehend things or surroundings in a manner that you are able to grasp the understanding of the world and individuals. It is awareness of the world in simple words. Rationality is based on the logic that everything has to have a basis and grounding that roots any idea. Every idea has its grounding whether it is a natural Consciousness and rationality or human reasoning toward the environment and other individuals.

Consciousness has the ability to comprehend every aspect, that is not usually predicated or unexpected. For example, the universe is so diverse human mind through consciousness explores unknown facts. For example, different theories on planets were tested regarding the ...

Cybercrimes have become rampant in the age of the digital world. The hacking of significant websites of different countries had to face attacks by hackers. The purpose is to highlight the potential or venerability of the digital mode of communications with its lapses. There are some elements that try to misuse by hacking websites and creating fear or uncertainty on digital means. Cybercrimes are defined as attacks on computer devices or networks to harm financial and online security. It can target an individual or group to threaten their online security which has become a major concern for experts. The hacking of networks leads to the spread of false information and fear to influence a large number of people. The risk of not having enough security in their digital medium can cause a trust deficit among people towards digital means. In order to prevent that various mechanisms and laws are placed to prevent cybercrimes that cause havoc for digital communication insecure and exposure to e...

Climate change is one of the major issues the world is facing and proved vital for many countries across the globe. The stakes are high for all the actors regardless of their parity with major states. It affects every human in multiple ways. Climate change greatest threat to human and their survival. Individuals are part of the problem of climate change. The footprint of individuals has led to aggravated climate change that is a major threat to human survival on this planet. If we look at it in terms of its cost for humans then the question is the individual reason for increased risk to make them venerable to an increase in the rate of climate change? As per experts individual is part of the problem but can become a solution too. It can be possible through the shift in their focus towards climate change through the change in their mind. Humans are getting aware of the likely cost of overlooking the grave threat of climate change that threatens human survival. It has happened as a resul...

The Biden administration has re-engaged Iran for talks on their nuclear program. The decision to continue talks with Iran was based on the objective to restore their involvement in the Middle East.  The talks on Iran's nuclear program ended during the Trump administration. The nuclear deal with Iran ensured that they can use nuclear energy for civil purposes. It led to a step of peaceful settlement of nuclear energy usage for Iran after holding talks with Middle East countries in 2015. The nuclear agreement was concluded after rounds of discussions.           The Iran nuclear program became the point of contention for the US and other states. According to the US, the administration found evidence that Iran is using nuclear energy to build a nuclear weapon. It became impetuous to step back from the deal with Iran. They suspected Iran's intentions to use nuclear energy can be used to develop nuclear weapons that can threaten stability within the Mid...

  The recent round of discussions was held in February 2019 to reduce weapon control by Trump. Both countries showed a willingness to decrease the number of arms to the limit set by them. The arm reduction discussions included all the arms including nuclear arms to put a limit to mutually the number of arms. Due to the disagreement on the talks and it ended without any fruitful results.  The US showed apprehensions on Russia by expressing their concern over their strategic offensive arms to the limit decided by both countries during the discussions. Russia had denied any claims of an increase in its strategic arms.  The trust deficit between US and Russia is a root cause that hinders the arms race. The talks to decrease their missiles and discontinue new missile systems that can create an imbalance. It can become impetuous for stimulating a new arms race among the major states.  It can be avoided by initiating confidence-building measures between US and Russia. ...

The unmanned systems commonly called drone has increased in the world. These drones are used for multiple purposes and their usage in strategic moves has revolutionized modern warfare. They work for swarms when used collectively to coordinate or respond to the unlikely attacks of any actor or non-state actor. Drones are used for surveillance by patrolling on selective sites to ensure security. For example, drones are around the borders of the country to preempt any possible attack or opposition from other countries. Drones record data and are used as a medium for surveillance. Drones have additional weapon carrying capacity to their potential targets. They are used for remote places or those that are not easy to access in normal circumstances. Drones have reshaped warfare by adding the new factor of unmanned vehicles or weapon-carrying equipment. The drones are used to access difficult terrain of places that are difficult to reach through other means. Drones with a combination of Al ar...

Artificial Intelligence's role has increased across the globe. They are used to keep a check and surveillance of the usual activity in the digital or real world. Countries follow additional protocols to keep a check on their nukes and arsenals through the use of artificial intelligence tools. They work and function like humans as they used specially designed software to make computers think like humans in limited domains. Artificial intelligence cannot replace the human mind but it is used for different purposes to minimize error and to increase the productivity of the different systems. These are computer programs that are used for different functions to replace the human mind with machines using artificial intelligence to complete certain tasks. The progress in AL has changed the functioning of different mechanisms, especially in the case of managing the security of high-profile events. One of the key points of discussion on artificial intelligence is whether they can think and f...

 All humans have genes enclosed in the DNA which is a double helix in its structure. The close linkage between genetics and viral diseases is not something that can be overlooked by scientists. They are of the view viral diseases have a strong linkage with viral diseases. The environmental factors and increase in toxins have increased the chances of viral diseases. The human body has natural systems that respond to toxins and pathogens to protect from catching the disease. The mutations in the virus genome have affected the response of the human DNA towards a certain type of viral disease.     The genetic changes can be explained through the two principles. Mutations usually take place by changing the genome of a virus. It occurs through the change in a virus protein which leads to alternation in its structure and adaptability in a new environment after changes.  The second principle is based on the recombination of virus genome with the nuclei of the virus that...
