As the website grew, it eventually became a forum for discussion. It not only further cemented transparency as one of the brand pillars of Oatly, but it also became the clearest interpretation of how that transparency runs through the brand’s DNA. On the surface, ‘Fuck Oatly’ naturally felt so wrong to do, so for Michael, it had to be somewhat right. “We get a lot of hate and a lot of people don’t like what we do, so we put it on a website to document it all,” explained Michael. ‘Fuck Oatly’ became a website dedicated to the brand’s mishaps in marketing. ![]() This is the case with the ‘Fuck Oatly’ experiment, which began as quite the creative leap and was met with a good amount of scepticism within the organisation. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lewis George Orwell Mary Pope Osborne LeUyen Pham Dav Pilkey Roger Priddy Rick Riordan J.

Fukuyama refers to Amartya Sen's view that democracy remains the default political condition. The book covers several regions (China, India, Papua New Guinea as well as Western and Eastern Europe separately), and uses case studies of political developments from these regions, the scope is wide and consists of ancient history to the early modern period. This theory is argued by applying comparative political history to develop a theory of the stability of a political system. The main thesis of the book covers three main components that gives rise to a stable political order in a state: the state needs to be modern and strong, to obey the rule of law governing the state and be accountable. The Origins of Political Order: From Prehuman times to the French Revolution is a 2011 book by political economist Francis Fukuyama. ![]() ![]() Yes, I’ll admit seeing him do that would’ve made anyone angry in that moment but come on Evelina think. Pretty sure that Rowan fits in the sacrificial portion of the prediction and not the betrayal. Man Evelina really needs to stop doubting certain things *cough *cough Rowan *cough *cough. He’s also the one getting the most “screen time” considering Rowan and Baron usually have to share the spotlight. Ah I feel like Rydstrom is getting the most action out of Evelina. The actions were still a little corny and predictable but it didn’t really stop me from enjoying the story. This is more of after thoughts rather than a review so if you find yourself here beware there is mostly spoilers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Among the topics she considers are the French slave trade from Africa to Louisiana, the ethnic origins of the slaves, and relations between African slaves and native Indians. Hall bases her study on research in a wide range of archival sources in Louisiana, France, and Spain and employs several disciplines-history, anthropology, linguistics, and folklore-in her analysis. In this pathbreaking work, Gwendolyn Midlo Hall studies Louisiana's creole slave community during the eighteenth century, focusing on the slaves' African origins, the evolution of their own language and culture, and the role they played in the formation of the broader society, economy, and culture of the region. It still survives as the acknowledged cultural heritage of tens of thousands of people of all races in the southern part of the state. This culture, based upon a separate language community with its own folkloric, musical, religious, and historical traditions, was created by slaves brought directly from Africa to Louisiana before 1731. Although a number of important studies of American slavery have explored the formation of slave cultures in the English colonies, no book until now has undertaken a comprehensive assessment of the development of the distinctive Afro-Creole culture of colonial Louisiana. ![]() |
