Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

Human beings are unique in their quest to understand the origin of life, and the urge rationalize nature and the world that surrounds them. We have developed various disciplines to better understand the natural world around us (Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology) and ourselves (Psychology, Physiology etc.). Anthropology is a discipline that tries to understand what it means to be human by looking at biological, evolutionary, cultural, and linguistic aspects. The word “Anthropology” is derived from Greek “Anthropos” meaning human and “Logos” meaning word(Lewis, Jurmain, & Kilgore, 2012). There are four major subfields of anthropology viz., biological, archeological, linguistic and ...

Introduction

In their attempt to identify appropriate research approaches in politics, feminists have often criticized traditional social science methodologies. In her article on women and democracy and the patriarchal welfare state, Carole Pateman raises the issue of the highly patriarchal political scene. She indicates that the positive and social democratic perspective is that a welfare state provides social meaning and equal worth to the political and juridical rights of all citizens. A second, more pessimistic, view on the welfare state, according to Pateman (1987) is that it provides the government with new approaches to exercising power over and governing the ...

Abstract

The worldview of a person is their view and understanding of their entire existence, including the world they live in. Religious beliefs reflectcolor a person’s worldview very strongly. In a comparative look, Christianity and Sikhism have some commonality as monotheistic approaches to the world, in the necessity for moral and ethical behavior that is good, in seeking truth, and in serving an all-knowing God Wwho imparts some of that knowledge to mankind. However, there are noticeable differences in beliefs about death and afterlife, human definition, and the meaning of human history. These beliefs structure their worldviews ...

The verbatim theater is considered as a type of documentary that is grounded on the spoken words from the people who record their testimonies on interviews concerning the topic or event not common in the mainstream society. The two examples of the verbatim plays are Robin Soans' ‘Talking to Terrorist' and Alan Valentine's ‘Parramatta Girls.' Both plays are similar because they portray social and political message but different in terms of approach and ideas.

1. Citing class discussion and course readings, please critique the following passage: Our analysis suggests that democracies are more likely to be sensitive to the costs of terrorist attacks, to grant concessions to terrorists so as to limit future attacks, to be constrained in the ability to pursue a lengthy attritional campaign against an organization, but also to be under a greater pressure to do something Terrorism as we know it is a tactic, a tactic used by marginalized and disenfranchised groups to attempt to claw back some of the rights that they have lost or to try and ...

Bovine tuberculosis (TB) refers to a chronic bacterial infection of cattle that distresses some species of mammals. It is a substantial zoonosis that may spread to humans, mainly via the consumption of unpasteurized milk or the inhalation of aerosols. In developed nations, eradication initiatives have eliminated or reduced tuberculosis in cattle. As a result, human disease is currently rare. Nevertheless, reservoirs in wildlife may cause eradication challenging. Bovine tuberculosis remains popular in underdeveloped nations, and severe economic losses may take place from livestock mortalities, trade restrictions, and chronic disease. In some circumstances, this disease can similarly be a grave ...

By studying past communities using their artefacts and structure, we gain more information on how we are similar to the past communities or the influences such history has on people descended from the same communities. A lot has been learnt by discovering ancient ...

Introduction

Ever since the emergence of theatre as a form of art, it has remained on of the most popular and expressive genres of art that continue to entertain as much as it informs. This is perhaps because for many years, theatre has been used as a social mirror of sorts; one that allows the audience as well as the performers to view the society in which they live for what it is. The ability of playwrights to craft magnificent and compelling theatrical pieces that highlight the plight of the societies in which they live arguably makes playwrights one of ...

Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars, It is the cause. Yet I’ll not shed her blood, Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow And smooth as monumental alabaster. Yet she must die, else she’ll betray more men. Put out the light, and then put out the light. If I quench thee, thou flaming minister, I can again thy former light restore Should I repent me. But once put out thy light, (Othello V.ii. 1-10). In this scene, Othello prepares himself for the heinous act of murdering Desdemona. Before he does so, ...

News occurs on a daily basis in different time zones. Its development is quite fast that an individual cannot keep track of what is happening at any given time.

Although most of the time their facts are right sometimes writers make up stories. In a way, they act as the reader’s eyes and feed them information as per their perspective. However, conflicting stories ...

Robert Venturi and Robert Scott Brown gave out distinct definitions of the duck and a decorated shed, and their definitions gave out the basis for classifying architectural marvels. A duck is an architectural marvel by itself, with inbuilt decorations, which are recognizable by the building itself (Venturi, Scott and Steven 90). On the other hand, a decorated shed is a piece of architecture that cannot be distinguished from its purpose or existence and entails exterior art decorations, which make it appealing to the general public (Venturi, Scott and Steven 92). Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, therefore, produced a ...

Introduction

China's transformation from a socialist market into a capitalist economy cannot be easily classified into any of the widely known theoretical models of comparative political economy. The two major reforms, the 1980’s market socialism reform and the 1990’s capitalist restoration, elude any well-defined theory of capitalism. However, among the five main theoretical approaches-- the VoC approach, constructivist political economy, the SSA approach, Hemerijck's welfare state transformation scheme, and Esping-Andersen's/Rice's welfare regime typology-- the VoC approach and the SSA approach are the two best theoretical models that can shed light on the continuity and discontinuity between these two ...

War historians consider it appropriate to refer to the Korean War as the ‘Unknown War’ or ‘Forgotten War’. This in essence due to that fact that up until the collapse of the USSR and subsequent declassification of Soviet documents on the war, the events leading to the conflict were largely shrouded in mystery. On the 25th of June, 1950, the North Korean military attacked South Korea and as such, varying motivations for the war led many countries to support either the North or South. This may shed more light as to the underlying causes of the war and more ...

Entomology is the investigation of bugs, which are those creatures that have an exoskeleton, 6 legs, 3 body portions, 1 sets of radio wire, and 1 sets of compound eyes.

Air Conditioning is perhaps one of the most wonderful scientific inventions that provided relief to the people living in a hot climate. What started as a device for cooling homes was later extended to vehicles that have a closed structure. For a layman, it appears that an air conditioner cools the air. However, scientifically speaking, the air conditioner provides cooling by transferring heat from the air inside the thermally insulated place to the air present outdoor by the medium of “refrigerant”. The phenomenon of heat transfer involves three physical processes: evaporation, compression, and condensation (“How Does an Air Conditioner Work?”). Firstly, ...

There are many contracts between different people regarding different contexts, which range from implied to express contracts.

In archeology, DNA analysis has been used as an investigatory tool since it became available to scientists. DNA analysis, which is a constantly developing and expanding field, has allowed archaeologists to precisely and decisively obtain results that solve archaeological, historical, and evolutionary questions. Unfortunately, the methods for using ancient DNA analysis tend to destroy the samples from which the DNA is extracted. The results can easily be affected by external contamination as well, which requires the research to be conducted within specialized laboratories by trained laboratory personnel (Arandjelovic, Guschanski, Schubert, Harris, Thalmann, Siedel, & Vigilant, 2009). DNA analysis has been ...

Depending on its characteristics, a speech may either move listeners into or ...

William Shakespeare was born on April 23rd, 1564 in a small town Stratford-upon-Avon. Shakespeare was a great English dramatist, poet and actor. He was often called the English national poet, and a lot of people agree with me that he also was the greatest dramatist of all time.

The first time we hear about Shakespeare as a writer was in 1592, in a Robert Greene’s pamphlet “On mad penny bought a million ...

Interpretation of Exodus 21-24

The book of Exodus is often thought of as the story of the Hebrews and their escape from Egypt; however, there are multiple stories contained within the book of Exodus. The chapters 21 through 24 are a list of rules for the behavior of the Hebrews; these chapters also deal with the Covenant that God made with the Hebrews, through Moses. This portion of the book of Exodus does not read like a story until the very end; most of chapters 21-23 are lists of rules and regulations regarding behavior. Historically, Exodus as a Bible story tells the founding story of Israel; ...

Moreover, the theories further shed light into the intrinsic nature of the crime and its offender, and thus enhancing the rationale in devising the preventive measures (Tibet & Craig 107). Theories envelop the making and the contravention of the law, criminal and deviant conduct, and criminal activity patterns. The principal sociological crime theories consider the immediate social environment, such as the family unit, local community, peer groups, and learning institutions. The theories explain why some individuals have higher inclination to crime unlike others (Black 89). ...

The Native Americans that can be found in North America have their myths explaining how they were created and the reason as to why they occupy certain regions in America. Moreover, these myths are seen to be very different from each other and have different concepts and ideologies. The reason as to why there is no unified body associated with the mythologies is due to the different tribal groups that make up the Native Americans (Birrell, 1993). The tribes have their own creation stories in relation to how the world came into being, the appearance of people, and the ...
