Civil War Began January 1 1863
1,201 words
It was a war to surpass all wars. It began as a
disagreement; who had the right to succeed, and
whose power was more effective. The Civil War
began as a test of states rights versus federal
rights, and augmented into the bloodiest battle to
ever be fought on American soil. When it began,
both sides were certain that the war would be
quick, ninety days at most, and God would see to
it that the one in the right was victorious. As
the days progressed, and the ninety days passed,
the fate of the war...

Social Workers First Nations

There are many facets to Social Work and many
different angles a person can look at what drives
the need. In this essay I will critically examine
three approaches to social work. These three
include the Structural Perspective, the First
Nations perspective and the Feminist Perspective.
To start off, looking at social work from a
Structural Prospective is helping a worker to see
from a wide scope lens. In Karen's story on the
tape An Interview with four social workers, we see
a boy helped more by...

Act Iii Scene Guildenstern And Rosencrantz

The character of Prince Hamlet, in Shakespeare's
Hamlet, displays many strong yet justified
emotions. For instance, the "To be or Not To Be"
soliloquy, perhaps one of the most well known
quotes in the English language, Hamlet actually
debates suicide. His despair, sorrow, anger, and
inner peace are all justifiable emotions for this
troubled character. Hamlet's feeling of despair
towards his life and to the world develops as the
play moves on. In Hamlet's first soliloquy he
reveals that his despa...

after seeing his fathers ghost Hamlet says that
hereafter he will put an antic disposition on. To
what extent is the madness he exhibits in the rest
of the play feigned? Is he really mad? To discuss
whether or nor a person is mad it is first

Mental retardation has been around since the
beginning of time, but we are only able to trace

Thinking About The Overall Production Play

Drama Play Review on The musical Play that I did
my review on was West Side Story by Jerome
Robbins. I saw this play at the Woodland High
School with my family. We went to see it because
my older brother, Nick was in it. Thinking about
the overall production, I liked that it was about
two gangs fighting over their turf as they called
it. It was cool because it showed me what simple
lives they had but ending up in a tragic ending. I
also liked how they seemed to have an accurate
perception of wha...

Movie Shows Excellent Movie People

I think that this is an excellent movie. Not only
is it an excellent movie in the obvious plot, but
also in the underlying message which slowly
manifests throughout the movie. Racism is that
message. That underlying message is what I am
going to discuss. I think the movie shows the
importance of accepting change because it shows
the consequences when a person doesnt. First, the
movie shows how change is necessary to keep
relationships. If someone is too full of pride to
admit that they are wrong...
