Faulkner lamented the dearth of problems of the

Edward Gibbons Fall Of Rome
592 words
In Edward Gibbons, DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN
EMPIRE he argues that the reason for Rome's fall
is because of Germanic invasions, a decline in
public morality, and the rise of Christianity.
With all of the above statements I would agree
that Edward Gibbons is correct. They all help in
the fall of the Roman empire. Where I think he did
go wrong was in neglecting to state the other
numerous reasons that help contribute to its fall.
Three of these other factors that I think are also
very importan...

Managed To Survive Treaty Of Versailles
1,295 words
The Weimar Republic was weak from the start, its
collapse was likely. How far do you agree with
this judgement on the period 1919 - 1933?
Theoretically the constitution the Weimar Republic
was based upon was a perfect democratic instrument
including aspects such as individuals rights; this
was democratically advanced for its time. It would
therefore be unjustified to say that the collapse
of the Weimar Republic was likely form the start.
It was introduced during a time of great political

Avenge His Fathers Claudius Guilt
1,054 words
Shakespeare has created a character in Hamlet that
has intrigued literary aficionados and critics for
400 years. A look into the depths of Hamlet shows
a character so psychologically complex that no one
has created a character to rival him yet any one
of us could relate to his feelings, perception and
dilemmas. The journey through the intellectual yet
simple, courageous yet impotent and complex yet
incredibly common character of Hamlet is
fascinating to say the least. Intelligent and

Pro Choice Legal Abortion

Although abortion is widely accepted in our modern
society there are several serious drawbacks to
this procedure. These are the health issue of the
mother, the political ramifications that it
brings, and the moral conflict that it causes. The
main controversy is, who's right is it to abort?
Many will argue and say it is the woman's right to
chose what she does with her own body, but what
about the father's right? The man's involvement in
the abortion decision is not about the woman's
choice, it ...

Bury Her Brother Creon And Antigone
604 words
In many respects, Sophocles explains the meaning
of Greek justice in Antigone. On the surface, we
see Antigone as a conflict between divine law and
mans law. Antigone is the believer in divine law
and Creon is the believer in mans law. Sophocles
could have suggested one character as morally
superiority over the other. However, Sophocles
shows us how justice is equally mitigated to
Antigone and Creon. In pre socratic Greece Justice
will equally apply herself to both and favor no
one. While rulers...
