ESSAY: Male-Female Relationships Found in Medieval
Ballads There are many medieval ballads that
contain male-female relationships. However, the
ballads Edward, Bonny Barbara Allen, and Mattie

male-female relationships. The similarities the
three ballads share in their male-female

between the male and the female and 2) none of
these relationships are representative of the
ideal male-female relation...

past 20 years in the U. S. Energy is not as large
a share of the household pocketbook as it used to
be either. The rise in prices, however, has
increased headline inflation. Core inflation is
still a modest 2. 6 % in the U. S. and a mere 1. 3
% in Canada. No worry there. If anything, rising
heating bills will slow the growth of
discretionary income and contribute to the
slowdown in economic activity. This does reduce

Duty And Reason As The Ultimate Principle Kant

Duty and Reason as the Ultimate Principle: Kant
Kant claims that only actions from duty have moral
worth. In other words, actions from motives other
than duty deserve no positive moral evaluation. I
like and agree with Kant's view because I believe
that a good will makes a good person. I also
believe we have all been put on this earth to do
our duty. We should do our duty just for duty
alone; we should not be concerned about anything
else. I will begin by discussing Kant's
distinction between wh...

World War Ii Treaty Of Versailles

A number of historians view World War II as the
sequel to, or the finishing of the World War I.
Although the two wars were in retrospect, very
different, they can be viewed as chapters of the
same war. When evaluating Hitler's rise to power,
there is a definitive link between World War I and
World War II. This same link is evident in the
Treaty of Versailles and the articles therein. At
