000 Square Miles Hundreds Of Years
1,778 words
It can be argued (convincingly) that human's usage
of fossil fuels is responsible for a large part of
the world's pollution problems. The area that I
will discuss is the interaction that the big oil
companies have had with the environment
surrounding their businesses in Alaska. I will not
tackle the issue of whether it is right or wrong
to extract or use fossil fuels. Instead, I will
ignore the larger issue and concentrate on
specific issues concerning the Arctic Slope
activities of oil companie...

Heart Of Darkness Human Beings
1,317 words
Whether a reader connects to the symbolism of
Heart Of Darkness or is merely reading it for fun,
one cannot go away from this story without a
lingering feeling of uneasiness. Joseph Conrad
writes what seems to be a simple story about a man
in search of an ivory hunter; one must look deeper
into the jungle which makes up the core of Heart
Of Darkness, where Conrad hides the meanings and
symbolisms that shape this story. Conrad has been
accused of being a racist because of the way he
portrays the ...

... ish made to blend cultures exemplifies a very
distinct characteristic of this country. The
Church, a very dominant body at this time,
required holy wars and just wars. Bartolomeo de
Las Casas, a great defender of the natives said, I

waged by the Indians against the Christians have
been justifiable wars and that all the wars waged
by the Christians against the Indians have been
unjust wars, more diabolical than any other wars

King And Queen Roman Catholic
1,463 words
First of all, King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen
Isabella of Castille got married in 1464. The main
reason that they got married was to unite their
kingdoms into Spain. The king and queen were Roman
Catholic, so they gave power to certain people to
convert non-Catholics to Catholicism. In 1482, the
Roman Catholic monarchs renew the reconquista, the
military crusade ordered to conquer the remaining
Muslim state in Iberia, Granada. In 1492, the
Roman Catholic monarchs ordered all non-converted

Heart Of Darkness Nineteenth Century
1,363 words
There have been many critics, predominantly China
Achebe, that have cast a cloak of racism upon the
back of Joseph Conrad. Those authors base these
allegations upon the novel Heart of Darkness,
calling it a vile and most ungodly novel that only
seeks to set the black race as a footstool of the
white race. However, one must realize that there
is a much deeper meaning to the novel than that of
blatant racism. It is, in fact, a connection with
the past that shows both the mindset, as well as
the ig...

Europe and the 'New World' Tutorial Question: Why
were the 'westerners' (Spanish, English,
Portuguese's, French etc) able to displace the
native people's of America with, seemingly,
relative ease? Was this evidence of a superior

difference between 'westerners' and the native
people of the lands they conquered. The truth is,
that there is not great distinction, except in the

Native Americans American History

The Iroquois Nation was a nation of five tribes,
which was comprised of Mohawks, Senecas, Oneidas,
Cayugas, and Onondagas. These tribes were
originally separated, but later brought together
by two Indians named Hiawatha and Deganawidah.
Hiawatha seemed to be the spokesman while
Deganawidah took on the role as a philosopher.
These two men formed a nation where some of the
ideas are still intact today. One aspect that made
them so strong was the way in which they governed
themselves. Women in thei...
