The day turns to night, and the night turns to day; but it wasn’t always so. It used to be that the days were just that, days. The sun would shine down on the mountains and the green grass, throughout the calendar year. However, people grew weary and tiresome working all day, and prayed to the gods for a few hours of darkness, where they could rest their eyes and their sore muscles from the days work in the fields.
Our story begins with a beautiful young woman named Pangita who was the daughter of a god and a mortal; her ...

In terms of harmonious living, they value tolerance, peace, understanding, and human rights (e.g., respect). Concerning charitable works, they visit the fatherless ( ...

The two main objectives of a healthcare delivery system are to provide healthcare for anybody who needs it, as well as to deliver quality care at a price patients can afford to pay. Countries around the world have a different position on how to deliver these two main objectives. For example, Canada has true universal healthcare. Citizens pay higher taxes in order to afford this healthcare, but in return if an individual is hurt, sick, mental ill, becomes pregnant, needs a dentist, or just has a chest cold, almost all of the expenses are covered at a very reasonable ...

Nice and peaceful. Just the way I like it.
I set the shovel to one side and wiped the sweat from my brow. I will just wash away the traces of dirt that smeared by face as the mud-stricken gloves accidentally brushed my flushed cheeks. I looked around one more time just to make sure that nobody saw me. At 3:00 am on a cold October dusk, I could never be sure. Teenagers nowadays stay awake nibbling on their laptops. It was hard work but well worth it, considering the consequences of not doing it. My hand reached for ...

The character of Patinkin is a joy to witness in this film because of his longhaired ...

First Day In My New Job

Stepping down onto the street from the bright yellow No. 15 tram at the Zuffenhausen stop, a few stops short of Stuttgart city centre, the sub-zero early morning February chill immediately causes the exposed skin on my face to tingle.

Seeing them already en route to school at just ...

Photography is a form of art that shows the artist’s perspective in a snapshot. Photographers capture a moment in time in order to portray emotion and convey a particular message. Political photos serve as a detailed and informative example of this form of expression.

In the case of the Vietnam War, political photography was used by many pioneering photographers as a weapon, showing the horrors of the war on both foreign and domestic soil. Political photography proved to ...
