While death is scary in almost all cultures and civilizations, there are different views of taking and accepting this debilitating truth of life. In Western societies, death is almost forbidden, and it entails a process of profound bereavement and grief, sometimes unnecessarily.

Phillippe Aries' book, Western Attitudes Towards Death from the Middle Ages to the Present, highlights a comprehensive chronology of death as considered by Westerners. While they ...

‘Waiting’ is a story of a man who is a victim of the historic Chinese traditions and who is caught in between guilt and desire. The guilt part of his feeling attaches to his wife who has been chosen by his parents for him to marry and his heart’s desire is the woman that he is in love with, ‘Manna’ who also works in the same hospital as him. The cultural, social and the political climate had a widespread impact on the lives of not just the characters of the story but also many others like them. Sadly, ...

It is impossible to separate health care from religion. Throughout history, coexistence has been underscored by the permeation of both into each other's domains. From setting up hospitals to treatment regimens, these two aspects of society go hand in hand. However, there exist fundamental conflicts within these spheres that affect the life of the patient in one way or the other. This manuscript attempts to demystify this relationship and thereby give the healthcare professional a basis for understanding and implementing practice guidelines that cater for Christian or Buddhist patient.

The Christian View

The Christian worldview is a framework that examines life as ...

The lights play a very significant role in driving a vehicle and are considered to be an essential element of every car. Lights provide a driver with a possibility to see in darkness while he is driving. If lights function right and are bright enough, then a driver is able to see what is in the road ahead. As opposite, if lights are poor, the risk of accident is much higher. Further in this essay I am going to describe and explain several reasons in detail, why it so important to drive with lights on.

Experience and the law of economics prove that where there is demand, there will always be a supply. For this reason, among others, prohibition will not solve the drug problem in the United States. The prohibition of harmful substances has already been attempted in the United States, and has already shown to be ineffective in the past century. This was the case with alcohol. People, who wanted to get the coveted drink, found a way to get it (Doremus and Canet 4). Of course, in order to buy alcohol, which was not recognized legally, people went to the underground ...

Question 1

The case of Taj Mahal and its popularity as the most recognized work of art is also explainable through this context. Taj Mahal is widely recognized as a symbol of love. The emperor Shah Jahan constructed this Tomb (Mausoleum) in memory of his late wife Mumtaz Mahal who died while giving birth to their 14th child. But unlike the Great Wall of China or the Pyramids of Egypt that too is overloaded with stories of griefs (such as the death of Pharaohs and thousands of slaves) there is something about Taj Mahal that makes it more appealing than everything ...

In the modern world, there has been a trend to redefine the terms and acceptability associated with sexuality. This is perhaps best explicated by the presence of modern-day laws that advertently protect sexuality that is known from the basic laws of nature to be ‘unnatural’. Humanity in the contemporary world has seemingly yet very certainly so, changed the whole concept of sexuality to suit the status quo of modern-day sexuality. Additionally, there is quite a lengthy array of sexual misconduct accorded to humankind by God through the Bible, and that has apparently become a mere ‘conjecture’ to the present ...

The three types of traditional Japanese theater are Noh, Kabuki, and Bunraku.

Storyville or as the locals simply called “The District” was the area of ​​New Orleans, residents and visitors of which attended for the carnal pleasures they could receive from living there numerous priestesses of love.

Throughout the biblical history from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible talks about persecution/suffering and caring for the needy. The Old Testament does not emphasize it the way Jesus puts it in the New Testament.

Jesus gave some teachings on why suffering and persecution was part of the Christian path and why it was the responsibility of Christians to care for the needy in the fulfillment of the God’s purpose ...

The United States possesses a fascinating history pertaining to substance abuse. Even though there are many theories as to why substance abuse exists in the United States and why that substance abuse is taken to the extreme, there is one theory that greatly stands out above the rest.

The War on Drugs arguably has been a war against the puritan ideals within the United States versus those who want to consume drugs. To be forthcoming, I am not advocating the use of drugs recreationally; however, I feel that where the United States has committed a major error is by not allowing drugs in because what has transpired as a result is the creation of bodies of crime that have caused a great deal of violence. To call this a “war” is a gross exaggeration. The reason for this is that a “war” involves the Untied States combatting ...
