Everyone who studies the Classic Maya collapse agrees that it was brought on by a combination of ecological, political, and sociological factors.” “When the great droughts of the eighth and ninth centuries came, Maya civilisation everywhere was under increasing stress.” “The drought was the final straw.” “The collapse did not come without turmoil and war.” Brian Fagan describes how the ruling class (the kings had divine powers, they were also shamans and there was a vast aristocracy and their fellow-travelers that the tightly regulated workers toiled to maintain) encouraged population growth beyond what the land could carry;

We have to fence them separately, otherwise the whole group will be disturbed during hatching time," he added.

POPSUnintended Lessons: Plagiarism and the University Plagiarism, like other ethical problems, flourishes in atmospheres with few consequences. The finding by one survey that only 27% of college students thought cutting and pasting someone else's work was "serious cheating" is troubling evidence of student inclination to cut corners ethically. Papers are easily copied from the Internet, and adult role models in the larger world are equivocal.

Plagiarism detection software, though helpful, is not without its own problems. Colleges and universities that carefully outline consequences, particularly if these are part of an honor system collaboratively run by students and faculty, can reduce plagiarism.

POPSSix Blackwater Guards 'May' Be Charged in Iraq Massacre Immunity and impunity have gone hand in hand. Representative Jim McDermott. "The private contracting thing is the most erosive thing that this administration has done. You look at all the things that are being run by private contractors, you simply cannot be handing money to a private contractor who is not under the law of that country or the law of this country and can do anything they want. They're really -- they're rogue outfits."
