Shakespeare lived and wrote in the Elizabethan
age, a time when his society was branching out and
making itself known throughout the world by
colonizing other cultures. Great Britain was
reaching for new heights of power. In the play
Shakespeare questions the value of this new
concept of British imperialism. The Tempest is

Hundred Years Ago Todays World

It had been a few years since I had last attended
to play. I had just seen the movie version of The
Crucible and was incredibly excited about getting
a chance to watch a theatrical presentation of it.
When I first heard that Id get the chance to see
it I was very excited that I could hardly wait. I
must say, however, it was well worth the wait.
Everything and everybody inside the auditorium was
much more professional than I had assumed. I
figured that this play would be nothing more than

World War Ii Heller

Catch- 22: A Study in Post-War Attitudes by Chris
Nicholson In 1961, Joseph Heller published Catch-
22, his first novel. Based on his own war
experiences, the novel wickedly satirized
bureaucracy, patriotism, and all manner of
traditional American ideals. This was reflective
of the increasing disdain for traditional
viewpoints that was growing in America at that
time. (Potts, p. 13) The book soon became
championed as another voice in the antiwar
movement of the 1960? s. However, Heller himself

Didnt Understand Cordelia Street
787 words
Paul was a self-oriented boy, concerned with
money, wealth, and glamour, raised in a Calvinist
household that supported these ideals. Through my
research I have decided that Pauls eventual fate
was not any one persons fault. Paul was just as
much to blame as his father and teachers for Pauls
suicide. Paul was never content with his house on
Cordelia Street and was always dreaming about
movin on up while he worked at Carnegie Hall and
watched the actors and actresses move about in

Thousands Of Years Western Civilization

To the politically correct, the 500 th anniversary
of the discovery of America is no cause for
celebration. And even before 1992 began, their
protests resulted in a significant victory: the
naming of an American Indian as co-grand marshal
in the 1992 Rose Parade. Parade officials caved in
to critics, who denounced the tournament committee
when it first named as grand marshal Cristobal
Colon, a direct descendant of Christopher
Columbus. But the actual target of those critics
was not simply Colon;...

Cicero, ? The Persuader? Born in 106 BC, at
Arpirnum, about 60 miles southeast of Rome, Marcus
Tullius Cicero became one of the greatest orators
to come out of the Roman Empire. If asked of the

and adored by his people. Most Romans gained this
renown fame by winning wars and bringing home
great treasures, but Cicero managed to do this
instead through his speeches and convincing people
he was a gr...

Categorical Imperative Good Intentions
214 words
The categorical imperative is a better guide for
moral reasoning because it can be applied by the
individual with a clear, understandable reverence
for the morality of the whole community. Mills
utilitarianism is also concerned with the whole,
but the mechanism by which one can judge the worth
of his or her actions is quite a leap. When a
utilitarian makes a moral decision about an action
the primary concern is individual happiness. The
agent must then consider the consequences of this
action wi...

Amount Of Money Legalized Gambling

grown at a spectacular rate since the 1980 s.
Billions of dollars are spent on various forms of
gambling each year from the $ 1 lottery ticket at
the gas station, to the roulette wheel on the
strip in Las Vegas. With this enormous growth has
come a debate on whether gambling is a good public
policy or an addictive, dangerous sport. I feel
that gambling in America creates lower
