The First Should Be the Last and the Last Should
Be the First No matter how paradoxical it may seem
on the surface, the bloodiest slave mutiny in the
southern history, upraised by Nat Turner, broke
out in the enlightened Virginia that boasted its
tolerating treatment of the black population in
the state. The Southern County, soon gripped by a
dreadful massacre, had 60 per cent of black
people, as many whites had been deterred by meager
economic vistas in the area. With a prevailing

supposedly a democratic country, has a power
structure that has been criticized by both
domestic and foreign political observers. (Howe,
p. 14) The federal government of the country is
certainly not that efficient and democratic as the
countrys population would like to see it. If we
closely analyze Canadas government and politics
from the perspective of the formal and substantive
aspects of democracy, it is evident that some
drastic changes need to...

Importance Of Being Earnest End Of The Play
873 words
While some critics contend that The Importance of
Being Earnest is completely fanciful and has no
relation to the real world, others maintain that
Oscar Wilde s trivial comedy for serious people
does make significant comments about social class
and the institution of marriage. These
observations include the prevalent utilization of
deceit in everyday affairs. Indeed the characters
and plot of the play appear to be entirely
irreverent, thus lending weight to the comedic,
fanciful aspect. However,...

02 - 23 - 2001 The name Civil War is misleading
because the war was not a class struggle, but a
sectional combat, having its roots in political,
economic, social, and psychological elements. It
has been characterized, in the words of William H.
Seward, as the? irrepressible conflict. ? In
another judgment the Civil War was viewed as
criminally stupid, an unnecessary bloodletting
brought on by arrogant extremists and blundering
politicians. Both views accept the fact that in

Morality Does Need Religion In his essay, C.
Stephen Layman clashes two views of morality: that
of the secular point of view and the religious
point of view. Layman starts out by defining the
two different stances. The secular point of view
states that there is no after life and that
morality was an emergent phenomenon. Also, the
only goods are those that can be found on the
earth. The religious perspective states that there
is life after death, and therefore the? goods? one
