how easily his e...

answers, many people stopped looking to God and
religion for the causes of things and started
looking towards science. God was dead, according
to many scientists and people of all professions.

Jane Austen, like her most beloved heroine,
Elizabeth Bennet, is a keen observer of the nature
of man in society. To simplify her studies, and to
give her readers a better understanding of the
concept of Pride and Prejudice, Austen does not
focus our attention on the larger social structure
as a whole, but skillfully directs our
consideration only to a small, isolated segment of
the society. In Pride and Prejudice, Austen
scrutinizes a microcosm, people dwelling within
similar cultural and socia...

However, what they are asking for is not
reasonable. They are humans; and therefore they
already have the same rights as every other human
living in America. What homosexuals want are
special privileges and the acceptance of
homosexuality as a natural alternati...
