Interestingly, Japan has a unique myth about the creation of each of her islands.

Several centuries ago, St. Anselm wrote a prayer titled Proslogion. One of the key and thought-provoking aspects of this prayer is St. Anselm’s attempt to prove that God exists. Indeed, the prayer is comparable to Descartes’ argument because it results from an understanding of God’s perfection. Descartes maintained that God must certainly exist due to the fact that he could clearly perceive God and His perfection is such that Descartes could not have devised it on his own. St. Anselm’s argument is similar to that of Descartes because it has the properties of a priori argument. ...

In essence, the two novels delve to answer the question as to who is the real enemy of humankind. Though the two authors dexterously use different stylistic devices to answer the question, the convergence is that man himself is the worst enemy to each other. According ...

Fostering Successful Emergency Planning

Fostering a successful emergency plan ensures that the plan focuses on intensive training and exercises. In doing so, the plan reinforces emergency preparedness for a number of potential emergencies. The exercises that emergency planners can create to test their plans include trial or testing through prototypes and operations, rehearsing the plan and explaining the plan to others and memorizing it (‎Perry, 2016). The best way to access emergencies is through trials. I believe this is true because when accessing emergency systems using trial, one bases the trial on socialist systems. The use of socialist systems in responding to emergencies ...

Tourism comes in many different shapes and sizes. Tourism can be international or national; it can even be relatively close to one’s home, as tourism is not defined by how far an individual goes, but by the fact that he or she has traveled and the types of activities that he or she participates in while gone from home (Wurzburguer , Pattakos & Pratt, 2008). Tourism can be measured a number of different ways using a number of different metrics; however, from a practical standpoint, tourism is generally understood as being domestic tourism, inbound international tourism, or outbound international tourism ( ...

Until late in the civil war, the Confederate blockade-runners were highly effective in sustaining the Confederacy.

Even if music can be viewed as a universal language, music still differs from society to society largely due to the culture in which that specific music is associated in. In other words, every separate human society has their more or less unique variant of music, which contributes to the characteristic of their culture in general. For example, Latin Americans are commonly associated with Latino music, the hip-hop genre and the blues was commonly credited to the black culture, among others. One particular popular music of interest is the one that came from the Caribbean Islands, particularly the island ...

Introduction

In spite of the contribution of urbanization to the economic growth in Zhejiang, its adverse effects far much outweigh the positives since sustainability of the ecosystem and the society is at stake.

Urbanization contributes to pollution through higher energy consumption and motorization that have resulted in higher volumes of greenhouse gasses emitted in the air. The shrinking of natural resources is another consequence of urbanization where there is the rampant destruction of natural habitats, ...

The musical Hamilton has been critically acclaimed by critics and fans alike. The work tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the most important people in the early history of the United States.

Factors that led to the writing of the United States Constitution and the ideas behind the design

The needs to establish a national government and guard the fundamental rights of citizens are the factors that led to the writing of the constitution.

The concept of the natural state of man is discussed in detail by both Jonathan Swift and Daniel Defoe in their books Gulliver’s Travels and Robinson Crusoe respectively. While Swift takes the reader through his opinion of the natural state of man by describing the journey of Gulliver, Defoe does this through an evaluation of the life of Crusoe. However, despite appearing to focus on the same topic, the two hold divergent views on the same. Defoe appears to make a more compelling argument as compared to Swift in Gulliver’s travel because he appears to be more ...
