House Of Usher Cask Of Amontillado
1,524 wordsEdgar Allan Poe is famous for his short stories and specifically the manner in which he was able to draw in the audience and totally hold their focus. Interestingly, it seems that all of his stories have a specific location that is defined by a specific space and time. This locale helps to initially draw in the reader to the world that Poe presents as his launching ground for the story. His mastery of the physical world of his tales is amazing, as is the manner in which he creates these realms. ...

What is left is a system that is un-inviting to the trafficking of female women and a society (like almost any other) where i...

Can Capitalism Lead To Human Happiness
1,039 wordsCapitalism is good at meeting many of our wants but has big blind spots when it comes to others, such as family relationships, a sense of community. Capitalism, by unleashing rapid changes in technology, business organization, and social and economic status, sometimes undermines institutions and systems of beliefs that evolved in quieter and more slow-paced times or cultures. Sometimes this is good, as when capitalism helped end slavery and elevated the status of women. At other times, however, ...

Religion And Politics In The Revolutionary Era
1,019 wordsThe Christians objective is not this world-certainly not the world of politics-but the Kingdom of God. Christianity is therefore essentially other-worldly. Jesus himself was entirely apolitical, and we, his, followers, must similarly hold aloof from the political arena. However, God is a political God, and a belief in God requires political involvement. (Davies 9) Consequently, the entanglement of politics with religion is inevitable. This concept is supported in Jon Butlers article, Coercion, M...

Therefore, the chief problem with C, allocating memory before use, being careful only to use memory you own, and then freeing it after use, isn't really remedied by C++. OOP's idea of hiding data and functions that shouldn't be seen elsewhere can already be done in C, with the use of static variables and static functions, and proper use of headers. C doesn't have exactly the right functionality for this, in fact it's rather prim...

Odyssey And O Brother Where Art Thou Compared
868 wordsThe movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? is strikingly similar to Homers Odyssey in both plot and character description. In fact, one critic notes, O Brother Where Art Thou? is a Homeric journey through Mississippi during the Depression. (Ebert p 1) Thus, we find the modern film depiction of the troubles of a man during the depression is molded by the ancient struggles of Odysseus in Homers Odyssey. Specifically, three parallels surface in the discussion of the similarities between Homers classic ep...
