The alarming lust in activists and advocates of homosexual partnerships has myriads of destructive effects on themselves as well as the entire human race. Through homosexual partnerships, people contract sexually transmitted diseases like deadly HIV/AIDS and other terminal conditions that are the root causes of premature death, deficiency in procreation, bouts of hyper depression, and drug addiction among other hazardous socioeconomic issues. The Creator of humanity and initiator of marriage sticks to His divine counsel and pattern of marital partnerships as consisting of relationships between a man and a woman (Gen. 1:26-27, 2:24, Matt. 19:5). Regrettably, divine procreation through heterosexual monogamous partnership (husband-man) and (wife-woman) is philosophized by practitioners and advocates of homosexual partnerships as inhumane infringement on their human rights. Obsessed with excruciating lust and vainglory, homosexual activists and their campaigners are a menace to the society and aggressive assailants of the Kingdom of God.

Once all participating countries sign the agreement, multilateral trade agreement becomes very powerful tool for trade. One can draw a dichotomy between multinational trade and trade policies, the latter usually formulated by public officials of each country. Without strong and firm trade policies guiding multilateral trade, the trade objective will be undermined and defeated. This paper will primarily discuss and focus on various aspects of NAFTA as detailed out by some researchers in their emerging theories.

This new breed of work team is a whole different animal and call for further research because Organizations are now using teams to perform task that formerly belong to supervisors and middle level managers. This research took a theoretical approach and critically analyzed the very key important influencing factors in team environments. It discussed team work from many practical institutions that displayed " tremendous sense of fun, and that have realized distinct successes from Team strategies. It's revealed that factors such as education, professionalism, simplicity, repertoire, commitment, innovation and repertoire nonconformity were common to both an ideal organizations and organizations where individualism and teamwork's strategies are mostly emphasized. Based on patterns of these influencing factors, recommendation for future researchers and actions are suggested.
