Krishna", which is actually Sanskrit for "Dark
God", predated Jesus the Christ in the works of
two Greek historians, Asian and Strabo (Daleiden
105). Then there is Buddha, who predates Jesus by
more than five centuries (Daleiden 105). There are

discrimination in justice, people who were able to

Pluralism In The United States
1,126 words
Pluralism in the United States Our modern concept
of pluralism derives from ancient Greek
understanding of democracy as the most effective
political system. Ancient Greeks did not simply
believe in the effectiveness of democracy - they

affect the political dynamics in cities-states,
not because they simply lived there, but because
their opinions really did have a value, whatever
contradictory they might have been. The reason for
this was simple the vo...

time spans. Nevertheless, there should be a
definition universally acceptable for any culture
and any epoch. Art can be defined as any human
creation that contains an idea other than its
utilitarian purpose. Anything can ...

Existentialists: I Am Me, and You Are Yo
