Purposes of the United Nations are:
1. To maintain
international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective
collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace,
and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace,
and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of
justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international
disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;

principle of equal
rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate
measures to strengthen universal peace;

an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and

without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and

The
length of a degree of latitude
(measured along a meridian) is essentially the same everywhere on the earth
from the equator
to the poles. There are very slight variations due to the oblateness of the
earth. For practical navigation purposes, 1 degree is equal
to 60 nautical miles(111.12 Km), and 1 minute of latitude(위도)
is equal
to 1 nautical mile(1.852 Km).

To
graph a relationship that involves more than two of the variables, we
consider what happens if all but two of the variables are held constant.
This device is called ceteris praribus.
Ceteris paribus
is a Latin phrase that means "other things being equal."

A
great circle is a circle formed on the surface of the earth by the
intersection of a plane passing through the center of the earth, thereby
dividing the earth into two equal

A small circle is a circle formed on the surface of the earth by the
intersection of a plane that does not pass through the center of the earth
and thus does not divide the earth into two equal
parts.

6. ERA :
Equal
Rights Amendment
Gloria Steinem이라고
하면 여권운동의 선구자로 너무 잘 알려진 여자다. 그
여인은 Ms(미즈),
즉 Miss도
아니고 Mrs도
아닌 여성을 부르는 가장 적절한 호칭을 창안해 낸
장본인이기도 하다. 또한 미국에서 가장 영향력을 행사하는 10대
여성을 투표하면 항상 선정이 되는 인물이다. Gloria말고도
여권(女權)운동을
하는 많은 여성들이 있다. 그들이 내세운 가장 큰 Agenda가
바로 위에 예문으로 든 ERA.
이것은 Equal
Rights Amendment의 약자이다. 그대로
직역하면 평등권리 개정이다. 우리식으로 이야기 하면
가족법 개정인 셈이다. <중략> 어쨌거나 성적인 차별, 즉
Sex
Discrimination이 있다는 주장이
비등한다. 이 차별대우는 여자에게만 있는 것이 아니다.
정말 속상하는 것은 인종차별이다. Race
Discrimination이다. 흑인(Black).스페인계통(미국에선
Brown이라고 한다. 또는 Hispanic이라고도
부른다).동양인(Yellow)
등에 대한 인종차별, 심지어 유태인(Jews)들에
대한 차별도 눈에 띈다. 즉 Minority(소수민족)에
대한 Majority들의
차별이다. 여기서의 Majority는
WASP (White
Anglo Saxon Protestant)들을 말한다.<중략> 이런
차별(성적이거나 인종이거나)을 Discrimination이라고도
하지만, 너무 길기 때문에 Bias라고
말한다.
I feel like a bias against the race.
Our company has no
sex

The
pregnancy(임신)
had not been unexpected, and when it happened, Tracy was filled with
uncertainty. Charles had not brought up the subject of marriage, and she did
not want him to feel he had to marry her because of the baby. She was not
certain whether she could go through with an
abortion(낙태),
but the alternative(대안)
was an equally
painful choice.
