Although nearly all the states in the system belong to a thin, pluralist interstate society (the layer of egg-white), there are sub-global and/or regional clusters sitting on that common substrate that are both much more thickly developed than the global common, and up to a point developed separately and in different ways from each other (the yolks)" (Buzan and Gonzalez-Pelaez, 2005: 6).
For example the EU and North America, for example are "sub-global interstate societies that are more thickly developed within themselves. Lesser attempts to create thicker, liberal, regional interstate/international societies by cultivating joint economic development can be found in...various other regional economic cooperations," such as OPEC (Buzan and Gonzalez-Pelaez, 2005: 6). "Above some of these regional efforts one can find larger, looser, thinner, versions of the same thing labeled the 'West' or the 'Atlantic Community'" (Buzan and Gonzalez-Pelaez, 2005: 6).
Shared values and an investment in the order is not homogenous, as in the case of the varying surface of an egg, but it is cohesive, and there is an interest in maintaining that the egg does not fracture, because all of the 'egg' must remain intact. The multiplicity of often uncomfortable identities that make up the international system, however, is not unlike that of how the actors, or nation states, function. For example, all human beings, regardless of their national, religious and local identities have a variety of individual personas or identity they hold simultaneously, "the question is how the patterns of distribution overlap, and which takes priority as a mobilizer or legitimator of political action. Some identities will fit inside others, like Russian dolls (e.g. Danish, within Scandinavian, within European, within Western), whereas others may be relatively diffuse, and have complicated patterns of overlap" (Buzan and Gonzalez-Pelaez, 2005: 6).
Conflict is generated quite often when these identities overlap, like a person who is 'both' Russian and from the region Chechnya, or a Saudi who is both of the Middle East, a member of OPEC, yet who also strives to be an accepted and legitimate part of the United Nations. But there still is a common investment and 'center' that holds all of these identities together, within a nation, and within the international community. Subglobal level identities exist on "the interstate and interhuman domains and perhaps in the transnational one," even though the "diplomatic and political structure of global international society, and the regimes and institutions of the global economy, are altogether more substantial than either the faint glow of shared identity as humankind or the distant prospect of a pure transnational society" (Buzan and Gonzalez-Pelaez, 2005: 6).
The economic alliances of international community and subglobal regional organizations are often thicker, or more obviously cohesive than international institutions such as the UN that exist on the global level but are also sometimes thicker than national...

It is more likely that there will continue to be many varied and constantly changing definitions of the American family, and this will continue to confuse those learning English as they attempt to make concrete connections between words and concepts from their own language and those of the new -- and constantly developing -- culture and language they have adopted. When making cultural comparisons, it is important to refrain from
However, in the most recent theory of evolution which discusses the living world appears as the result of chance and an output of different randomly selected natural mills. This kind of development came to present as a result of the need of more subjects or topics in areas such as cybernetic, general system theory, information theory, theories of games which is needed in most decision making process in line
Dovring makes a good point when she says that it is difficult for a person to free their self of their own communication realm (Dovring, 115). However, Dovring goes on to say that individuals who are required to learn a language other than their own for purposes of communicating with others, can cause them to become victims the language they acquire (Dovring, 115-116). It can, Dovring says, alter not just
English as a Second Language America is known as a melting pot; people have migrated here from many different countries, cultures and speak different languages. Children are raised in homes where different languages are being spoken, some families use English primarily, however there are families that do not speak any English. Children raised in these household where there is little or no English will need to learn English in school. English
English as a Second Language - Background Knowledge KNOWLEDGE Shirley Adams established in her research that "Along with vocabulary, a reader's background knowledge has been shown to be an important component of reading comprehension. The background experiences children bring to a reading selection affect how well they can understand it" (155). Furthermore, Adams points out that vocabulary is a critical factor in language development and subsequent reading comprehension (155). Generally, in learning
