Golan Heights Gaza Strip
905 words
The United States is looking to help out Israel in
as many ways as possible since it is one of the
few Mid East nations that are democratic instead
of monarch or a dictatorship. The United States
best interest in helping Israel can be seen as a
way of promoting democracy since Israel is a
democratic state. Israel is a stable and
democratic ally to the United States. The U. S. is
able to depend on Israel rather than its Arab
neighbors, who do not share the common values of
democracy. The foreign ...

G D John Milton
1,282 words
One of the major themes in the religious poetry of
the 17 th century is the struggle between serving
G-d, and living a fulfilling and satisfying life.
If one was a member of the clergy, they refrained
from acting by their own will, and spent their
lives trying to do right in the eyes of G-d. Two
of the poets that used this struggle as a major
theme in their poetry were George Herbert, and
John Milton. In Herbert's The Collar, the poet
writes from the point of view of a pious
clergyman. He begins...

George Washingtons On Black Relations

George Washington's Impact on Black Relations
During the Colonial Era there was much debate
regarding slavery. The north was primarily against
slavery while the south was economically dependent
on slavery. When colonist started to settle North
America they had come from England for religious
and political freedom. Many were subsistence
farmers (raising just enough food to survive on,
with perhaps a little surplus to sell or trade).
There was no need for slaves. Later, in Virginia

Lear And Cordelia King Lear
820 words
Many of the passages of King Lear, particularly
those between the characters of Lear, Kent, the
Fool, and Cordelia, all share a common theme. The
imagery of nothing, as well as that of blindness,
echoes throughout the play. King Lear is in many
ways about nothing. However, Kent, the Fool, and
Cordelia make him more than nothing does by
serving faithfully, speaking bluntly, and loving
unconditionally. The first occurrence of the
imagery of nothing takes place between Lear and
Cordelia. In this pa...

Gilgamesh And Enkidu Bull Of Heaven
994 words
True friendship is egalitarian. Everything is
shared, loyalty to the friendship is equal, and
the basis of the camaraderie is wholly altruistic.
The friendship between the king Gilgamesh and the
man of the steppe, Enkidu, was not a true and
equal friendship. Loyalties and sacrifices to that
friendship were disproportionate. Friendship is
conveyed in more than one way in Gilgamesh. The
companionship between Enkidu and the animals of
the steppe is the first example of friendship.
Enkidu lived with...

Juvenile Vs Adult Offenders In Mobile County
464 words
In the Mobile County Justice System, a non-violent
juvenile inmate is treated very differently from a
non-violent adult inmate. A recent interview with
an ex-inmate that had been previously convicted as
a youth and convicted again shortly thereafter as
a young adult, demonstrated that the programs
implemented at both facilities are haphazardly
executed, showing little regard for future
rehabilitation of an inmate. Upon interviewing Mr.
Covington, I discovered that there are very
generalized sent...

Soft Cheeses Cheese Milk
318 words
No matter how far archaeological finds go, there
is evidence that cheese came into being in
prehistoric times. Cheese can not really be said
to have been invented. This delicious food must
have resulted from the simple observation that
milk left in a container ends up by coagulating,
even more if it is hot. People living in areas
where the climate changed seasonally would also
have noticed the effect of temperature on this
process: in warmer weather the milk would curdle
faster than in the cold....

Equal Opportunity Woman Women

Down to Feminists Hail to Real Women Everywhere
Equal opportunity, its such a standard policy
these days. It was originally associated with the
feminist movement with the simple intent to
establish a level playing field. The prima facia
of the phrase is idealistic, and at the least, the
perpetual continuation of egalitarianism. Although
these are both true, taking a look deeper into the
contemporary application of the concept reveals
anything but equality. As a woman, these so-called
